      It would be really nice, if you write the BPM in the info and tabs. Behind of that, special thanks for your engagement.

      I loved this song when it first came out in 1984. It also was and still is my favorite video/ song of all time. You performed it beautifully. Thanks for the lesson. I hope I can do it the same justice. 🤞

      I think it's not that alot of people didn't know the song prior it's just he teaches it the same way it's played in the movie instead of the faster or original version but it's like perfect only one I could find like this

  • @josephbrewer7026
    @josephbrewer7026 2 года назад +5

    I have to give you credit.. Usually I click out of a lesson when the host starts to sing as it can be unbearably bad, but you do a really nice vocal on this piece. Thanks for the video and lesson.

    • @mariannelee1286
      @mariannelee1286 8 месяцев назад

      I love when the guitarist starts singing, as fitting the vocals into the strumming is often the hardest part of the song. Doesnt mater how they sing, but I do agree, your voice is beautifull.

    Great job! When I heard your version I really liked it, but I didn't recall liking the original all that much. Checked it out and sure enough your cover is way better than the original - although you gotta admire that vocal range. Anyway - I love it - I'm learning it - thanks.

      +Daniel Loyd hey thanks for reaching out. Going to get to some singing tips soon. As for singing this like Morten Harket, I think it helps to be Norwegian? He has such a beautiful voice, and it’s tough to duplicate his world class vibrato, especially at such low volume. He is truly world class.
