Try Not To Breath by R.E.M. (Acoustic Guitar Cover)

Hi, here is my acoustic cover of Try Not To Breathe by R.E.M. from their album, Automatic For The People.
My version doesn't totally replicate the recorded version - I like to incorporate notes from other instruments on the recording, including the voice, into the standard chords, which creates different chord voicings that sound nice to my own (personal) ear and taste.

This is such a timeless tune. As of now it sits atop my R.E.M. playlist as their best. I don't sing or play, but I can admire your vocal and rhythmic control (you get those subtle sostenuto moments) and I say, "Magnificent, Neil!"
When I see in the thread that your video is teaching others to take this one up, it gladdens my heart even more. It's too bad more folks don't cover it; I expect many would find this one, in its melodic grandeur, intimidating.
Bookmarking - I'm sure I will be back to listen again and again.

Thank you!

Beautiful rendition! Loved how you incorporated Mike Mills' backing vocals into it. BTW it took me three views to realise you aren't actually playing left-handed. 🤔

[@NeilJFraser]

@JezzaMiller Thanks! Yeah, I'm right handed, just forgot to flip the video 🙂

[@13andren]

Right on man, keep playing!

Very nice. He's an excellent vocalist. I believe that's a milk frother in the background, but I may be mistaken.

[@NeilJFraser]

Thank you. It is indeed a milk frother!
