Just to see if it was bullshit or not I clicked on one and the woman is literally standing there naked covering the front of her body with the dresses that she's holding, yet her bare ass is clearly visible in the mirror.

    Here we are, a little over forty years since George and Andrew first put out Careless Whisper and we have here possibly the most ingenious and incisive examination into that song's own soul.
    I like to think that were George still alive, and heard this rendition, he'd be reminded as to how affecting his song remains, and that great songwriting can be transmogrified into truly extraordinary forms in capable hands.
    Just think of it, sometime in the early 80s, George jotting down lyrics on bits of paper and making early demos with Andrew, to what it became, to this four decades later. It's pretty chilling, yet enormously beautiful.
    Truly amazing work.

    "Careless Whisper" Lyrics:
    I feel so unsure
    As I take your hand
    And lead you to the dance floor
    As the music dies
    Something in your eyes
    Calls to mind a silver screen
    And all its sad goodbyes
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Time can never mend
    The careless whispers of a good friend
    To the heart and mind
    Ignorance is kind
    There's no comfort in the truth
    Pain is all you'll find
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    (Should have known better, yeah)
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Never without your love
    Tonight the music seems so loud
    I wish that we could lose this crowd
    Maybe it's better this way
    We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
    We could have been so good together
    We could have lived this dance forever
    But now who's gonna dance with me?
    Please stay
    And I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Now that you're gone
    Now that you're gone
    Now that you're gone
    Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
    That you had to leave me alone?

      This is why theirs actually sheet music, so non natural talent can at least read along and play with in a fashion,…. Real(not a low blow) musicians used to go straight off sound and this is what this guys doing,… the greats became greats by thinking outside the sheet music fam. Like”theirs gotta be a way to twang that sound out as I hear it,…. Ah ha,….. maybe if I increase or reduce the amount of tension”,……. That thought that they have right there is what sets em apart.

      It is impressive, and very cool and expressive, although certainly not even close to a new thing. Banjo players have been doing it for around a century. It is done by using tuners that have the ability to have stops set at certain intervals, which literally stop the tuner from turning at two different points for accuracy and ease. The result is an added level of expression we commonly don't see on guitar, but it still is extremely common in the banjo world.

But remember even they fight sometimes. Things aren't always this perfect. Besides, he's a star, he has Teardrops, Gibsons and Martins crushing after him. You'd never stand a chance with him.

    Pain is all you'll find
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I've been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Never without your love
    Tonight the music seems so loud
    I wish that we could lose this crowd
    Maybe it's better this way
    We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
    We could have been so good together
    We could have lived this dance forever
    But no one's gonna dance with me
    Please stay
    And I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    Should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I've been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Now that you're gone
    (Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
    That you had to leave me alone

    For the non guitar players, no ofense. I know that the tunning change mid-song is outstanding and impressive, not shunning it is amazing for sure, but the absolutelly hard and impressive skill is the artificial harmonics he does so smoothly. These are some SERIOUSLY difficult to execute, any guitar player would agree with me. This guy is absolutely amazing!

      No that’s a definite skill. The guitar is not “out of tune.” He just fixes it so it makes the sound he wants!

      I mean artificial harmonics can be difficult to get down at first but the tuning thing definitely blew me away more he had to be so precise with his turns other wise it would sound out of tune

      Isnt the harmonic that he played only need to use your middle finger, index finger and pluck the string at the 12th fret from the fret that is pressed on the neck? Its fairly easy i think

      @@vinnysurfo The capo will not hold the loosened or tightened string, it only presses it against the fret. It is obvious.
