If you’re interested in more epic capo shifts, watch this video of Harry Chapin performing “30,000 Pounds of Bananas” solo on his guitar back in the ‘70s. There’s a bunch of key changes, and he did it with a capo that was pretty much just a band placed around the neck of the guitar. Oh, and the tempo gets faster and faster, too. ruclips.net/video/XeZJ6WSVVAk/видео.html He wrote it about a man who was carrying a load of bananas in a semi truck when his brakes failed on a hill in Scranton, Pennsylvania; the driver ended up dying in the resulting crash. In the live versions like this one, he would tell stories about trying to come up with the final verse and presenting them to his brothers (who were a part of his touring band) for their opinion, and each time they’d respond, “Harry, it sucks.” Then he’d go into performing the actual final verse (which is based off of how he actually learned about the story of the accident: from an old man in Scranton). I’d love to see if Yoni could tackle the guitar work on this one; it was probably one of the most challenging to play in Harry’s entire catalog. He died in a car accident possibly caused by a heart attack in the early ‘80s, but he left behind a unique catalog of songs and a legacy for being a humanitarian and activist fighting to ending hunger and food insecurity long before food insecurity was considered a concept. (Seriously, I think Yoni would have fun trying to figure out how to play this song as well as Harry did!)
Please come to Brasil sometime you can, do some concerts here, a lot of night clubs I am certanly that'll be more than proud to have you playing and singing. And i'm pretty sure a lot of people from here that loves your music will go to see you. Um abraço Yoni!
I'm a simple man: whenever Yoni posts a cover, I blindly like it bc certainly it's worthy watching and listening closely to a greatly well written interpretation sumerizing into a unique masterpiece... For all the simple man like me, I beg you, Yoni, to make your version of any song of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but as a tribute for us, I suggest this one: Simple Man.
No New Year's Day to celebrate No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away No first of spring, no song to sing In fact, here's just another ordinary day No April rain, no flowers bloom No wedding Saturday within the month of June But what it is, is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart No summer's high, no warm July No harvest moon to light one tender August night No autumn breeze, no falling leaves Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies No Libra sun, no Halloween No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring But what it is, though old, so new To fill your heart like no three words could ever do I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart Of my heart Of my heart (baby, of my heart)
Impressive how you start singing at the correct pitch after the key changes without hearing the first chord of the new key yet! Shows just how good your ear is.
Just wanted to tell you that you are my favorite cover + tutorial person on youtube and you have helped me enjoy guitar and have been a blessing to my life.
I was 14 years old in 1984. This song was a MASSIVE hit. It was everywhere. I liked it then. I like it more now. I didn’t know Stevie’s back catalogue then. Beautiful rendition. Not an easy song to sing ❤️
La perfezione ! Hai un senso del ritmo e un controllo della mano destra eccezionale, e lo slide del capo tasto mi ha sbalordito! complimenti, ciao dall'Italia!
Simply God given talent used for the betterment of life. Your musical expression is inspiring and unsurpassed. I wish you peace at this difficult time.
Beautiful rendition, Yoni! Your creations are a work of art as always. Blown away by how much more finesse and mastery in singing you are simultaneously increasing/achieving with each creation! Simply wonderful! 👏👏👏
Hi yoni, you really sings well and plays well too on acoustic. For the last 3 yrs and 7 months , I have been playing on acoustic but still I am not yet satisfied what I am now.

I almost lost it when you slid that Capo up a fret. I was not expecting that. I’m pretty sure that’s a violation of guitar physics 😉 Well played, my friend. Well played. Shalom from Nashville.
Who in his right mind give this a thumbs down? I am amazed that they are two thumbs down. Damn people are unhappy. Yoni, keep up the good work brother!

Outstanding idea Nicholas. I'm also all in for Simple Man.
Took the words out of my mind.
Your smile while singing is as great as your musical talent!
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day
No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart
Of my heart (baby, of my heart)
I love THIS version, Yoni!!!!
The capo slides and singing!
Brought a tear to my eye, man!!!
♥️💖🌠
Agree! is a show man! good detail.
Impressive how you start singing at the correct pitch after the key changes without hearing the first chord of the new key yet! Shows just how good your ear is.
Just wanted to tell you that you are my favorite cover + tutorial person on youtube and you have helped me enjoy guitar and have been a blessing to my life.

I never realised how poetic this song is before. Great performance.
I was 14 years old in 1984. This song was a MASSIVE hit. It was everywhere. I liked it then. I like it more now. I didn’t know Stevie’s back catalogue then. Beautiful rendition. Not an easy song to sing ❤️
