RUclips is the best payoff deal in history! Great guitarists put hours of practice and energy into making great tunes for our entertainment and I'll I have to do is sit back, enjoy and click a 'like' button.
Great comment! I've long been a Ventures fan, and yeah, this is very much like something they would have done, i.e. surfy/instrumental take on a tune. I grew up listening to m Dad's copy of WDR '64
This is the most incredible take on..take on me I've ever heard. Thank you for this gift! I'm a bit of a novice to surf guitar, so I've been playing it on the .75 speed setting and I can highly recommend it, it sounds even more beautiful.
I came to listen with low expectations, but this is excellent work. Lovely song progression with thoughtful melodic choices. I also think that your ability to sustain those sixteenth notes is exemplary. A job really well done 😎🎸✅
thank you Tom Conlon, for all your great videos. as a guitar noob, these are pretty much beginner's tabs and are easy to follow and play along to, just need to work on my speed and accuracy. i hate it when i hit the wrong string or note, it just throws everything off. i can't wait til i can play this correctly so i can show off to my jamming buddies when we jam together. i can't wait to hear them say, "woah, you're pretty good for a guitar noob." because, they can play, i'm just a noob. damnit i suck!
We're talking away I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you Shying away I'll be coming for your love, okay? Take on me, (take on me) Take me on, (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two So needless to say I'm odds and ends I'll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is OK Say after me It's no better to be safe than sorry Take on me, (take on me) Take me on, (take on me) I'll be gone In a day or two Oh the things that you say Is it live or Just to play my worries away You're all the things I've got to remember You're shying away I'll be coming for you anyway Take on me, (take on me) Take me on, (take on me) I'll be gone In a day I'll be gone (take on me) In a day (take me on, take on me) (Take on me, take on me) (Take me on, take on me) (Take on me)

![a-ha - Take On Me (Official Video) [Remastered in 4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/djV11Xbc914/mqdefault.jpg)
Sounds like a beach version of take on me
Its awesome
The tone is so fucking good for surf rock.
Its like something from spongebob
Jazzmaster = surf
Thats because he plays on high strings on first frets with p90s

You've really continued the spirit of the Ventures by being able to instrumentally capture pop songs. Great job!

Legend has it hes still strumming the same last note till this day
I’m getting a very weird Scooby doo vibe
You've very quickly become my favorite guitar youtuber
I’m four videos in and I kind of agree!
same
No :( marty tho :(
@@nikkievans4475 Marty music is the way to go >:)
Shhhhhhh
Your covers are so wonderful I have to make sure I don't get carried away spending my entire day listening to them! This is a real gem!!!
this man is taking back the old surf vibes!
You dont know how much I enjoy this
You are my hero in life, absolutely. As a guitarist but not a musician I could never play these songs like this
You made this 80’s kid smile. Thx
This is the most incredible take on..take on me I've ever heard. Thank you for this gift!

If I close my eyes and listen.. I can see the the original video with this cover... Thats how good this is.... Absolutely loved it
It is like "take on me to a peaceful beach" and I love it !
Excellent! Roy Clark would be proud! 😉👍
Beautiful Tom !! ESPECIALLY when you started doing the double notes ! Absolutely beautiful !
One of the greatest covers. Wow. Amazing. Very unique and wonderfully played.
i haven’t heard of you before i got recommended this vid and now you’re the main channel i go to for tutorials
Great, thank you!
This sounds fresh
You just keep getting better Everytime I see your videos.
I’m more amazed every time I watch this👍
Second verse is masterpiece!
very well done that was amazing from a scottish A-HA fan 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🏴🇳🇴
This song always put a smile on my face - thank you for the brilliant cover!
Thank you
This sounds like Take on me but the smiths wrote it
Hahah my thoughts exactly bro!
Especially if it was played on Jaguar
@@ezrablake1234 Why? Didn't the smiths' guitarist play a tele?
miksu K at the time, Johnny Marr used a lot of guitars including teles, but in recent years he’s been using jaguars and has his own signature one
@@thegarykenneth4667 Oh.. Now i know.. thanks!

Nice Jazz Master. That looks like the first electric I had - a pre-CBS Jazz Master. I love the surf rendition of this song.
We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
I'll be gone (take on me)
In a day (take me on, take on me)
(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
(Take on me)
