NEED YOU NOW (Acoustic Cover) - Lady Antebellum

I first heard this song on the radio a few months ago... and I am not sure about anyone else but to me the thing that caught my attention most was the driving bass line and the backbeat rhythm the bass line takes in a few places... then I really LISTENED to the song... the lyrics were particularly gripping... so decided to learn how to play it...

On night I was in a bit of a "blue mood" while I was picking on my guitar... I tried playing and singing this in a SLOW BALLAD style with a light fingerstyle guitar accompaniment... focusing on the weight of the words and the heartfelt longing in the melody... I really liked how it felt...

A few days later I played it for a few close music friends of mine... and this recording... we all decided it was something we ought to record and post on YOUTUBE... so this is what we were able to come up with! Special thanks go out to my friend Theral ("truebluestudio" here on youtube) and Will & Friends for helping this all come together!


I hope you enjoy it... please remember to rate, comment, favorite, and subscribe... If you have time... check out my other videos too... THX! =)

I fell in love with this song years ago. I was driving home late, a little disheartened and discouraged so I flipped on the radio and it was playing 'Need You Now'. I almost broke down and bawled. Love it Phil! Thank you!
