Excellent cover. Keep them coming!

Great cover - very close to the original. Not an easy song to cover.

[@alfredodoardi2717]

Interesting how you synchronized that analog clock to cross midnight at the exact second the music stops.

The video has been up for three years and has over 4k views and you're the first person to make a comment about the clock. 😁Thanks!

Phenomenal cover! Great job on recreating the overall sound & feel of this amazing song from my youth, with pretty darned accurate instrumentation! (I'm impressed that you did the drums with software.) I'll give you an A overall, but knock you back just a tad to B+ on the guitar solo, which sounds good, but strays quite a bit from Al Austin's original in places. Maybe you didn't attempt to do it as close to note-for-note as you did with the rest of the instruments? Love that you did octaves on the intro guitar, which makes it dead-on -- giving it a 12-string feel, but not sounding like a 12-string would! I'd be willing to bet it was recorded with two guitars playing an octave apart, exactly as you have done.
This is one of my all-time favorites and I've studied it from time-to-time trying to figure out some of the tricky bits in Al Austin's excellent guitar solo. It sounds pretty simple, but it isn't easy to get it (close-to) right until you can actually hear what's he's doing. I periodically check for new tutorials and covers, which is how I found yours. None that I've seen gets anywhere near right on what sounds kinda like triplets at about 1:28 in your video. Most other videos portray them as triplets, and triplets just don't fit. (Especially noticeable on those versions that play along with the original song!) Yours is a little different, and you play fast & clean enough that it sounds good, despite varying from what Austin played.
Please understand that I'm not being critical -- I truly enjoy this video and have subscribed to your channel so I can check out some of your other work. I've just obsessed over the years on a couple or three songs, trying to figure out how to play them and like to discuss with others who may be of a similar mind. If you'd care to exchange an email or two on the subject, I'd welcome it and share my vision of what I think sounds closer to the original solo.

Wow, thanks for the review! Sounds like you may have studied this song more than I did.
