You are basically playing both parts. You are really good. I met Jim Croce once in the early 70's. He had a Martin D28 or maybe d35. He was the friendliest most humble guy you would ever meet. His songs are really special.
That was excellent!! I'm 52 years old and played out from 1974-95. I did band and solo gig's. I used to do this song and it brought back a lot of memories. In fact after I heard this I cracked open my old Ovation and played for the first time in years. I used to do a lot of America, JT, and one of my all-time favorites was Harry Chapin.
It's a shame that I've learned this song decade ago from you but never liked or subscribed. It's better late than never. Thank you for all these years stratofender2003
Never have I, nor will I ever again, hear such a spot on rendition of that song. At the risk of sounding creeping you made me feel the same way I feel when I hear Croce sing it. Extraordinary.
Amazing job. This has been my song to my wife for years and now at the age of 45 she is in hospice with cancer they say they can't do anymore for and she only has a few weeks to live. So thank you for this great cover!
Jim and Maury would be proud of you. You did justice to the memory. Keep up the good work. As long as young kids like you keep playing these great REAL songs, they'll never die. God has blessed you. charlie tew
Sorry everyone but I don't use tabs. thanking everyone for the nice comments, i just can't respond all the time but rest assured i read all your comments and appreciate your time to post..maybe i'll post some tutorial in the future..
I LOVE JIM CROCE WITH A DEEP PASSION MY WHOLE LIFE I WAS RAISED LISTENING TO MY DAD PLAYING HIS SONGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.....AND YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON IVE HEARD DO THIS SONG SO GREAT YOU ARE AMAZING PLEASE KEEP PLAYING JIM CROCE!!
Wow, wow, wow, wow!!!! I clicked on this expecting to get Jim Croce playing this song and got you. I was pissed at first... that was until you started playing. Flawless! You're a maestro! Keep it up!
You are basically playing both parts. You are really good. I met Jim Carey once in the early 70's. He had a Martin Luther King D28 or maybe d35. He was the friendliest most humble guy you would ever meet. His songs are really special.
Great job! Very good representation of the song, both vocally and instrumentally. You included the signature fills while maintaining the underlying chord structure and changes which is not always the easiest thing to do. Jim would be proud.
Wow, this song is so nostalgic, brings me back to times when life was simpler. Growing up, my mom would play classics like John Denver, Peter Paul & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, Everly Brothers, and during roadtrips. Good times long past, but make for the fondest of memories. Thanks for the music.
Listen, I don't know who you are but this is the most beautiful rendition of this Jim Croce classic. The honesty, the sincerity, the deep-felt emotions in the vocals backed by the continuous flow of perfect chords modulation... thank you. I almost dare say your version is a better than the original, but that would be wrong. I love your version. Thank you.
I haven't heard the song for 20 years and your version is as beautiful as I remember. You made a happy man very old!! (or something!). I am going to play your version to my girlfriend.
(: This is great. I love it, a lot. Your voice brought tears to my eyes? That was weird. You have a very beautiful voice, though. (: Keep up the great work. I love Jim Croce. Thank you for playing such a great song.
Excellent...Thanks for sharing your talent....not sure but suspect you were not born when this came out...great to see Jim's music touching a new generation
LOL....I picked this video thinking it was Jim Croce. I was browsing another page for a few minutes and when I came back to pick another song I realized this wasn't Jim Croce just by viewing the page. Great Job!!!
Dadee...da words that were unspoken but you have made it more beautiful when you have delivered it in this song when we're apart. Ferdinand I miss you so much:( fix me and wait for me in heaven will you?
Nicely done and I know this is just a cover and not a lesson but I'm trying to learn this song and it would be nice to see what your doing with the chords at the first and second frets but they're screened out by your monitor... Any chance you can tell us out here the sequence of the chords especially the slide that seems to be an E or A minor from 2-4...
Brilliant!!!! I can see the hours of dedicated practice you've put into this! I bet old Jim is smiling every time he hears this from up there! Keep up the good work!
Great job I've been playing Jim Croce since I was eleven and I am now 47 and I could not have played the piece any better. Please post more. Jeff Arnold
i love this song it got played at my godmothers funeral along with time in a bottle jim croce is a real legend i hope his music brings talent to a new generation
jim croce is and always will be the best at singing that song and all of his songs but ur doing a great job at keeping his music alive great job man great job
I can understand the 'dislikes'. These people are simply jealous of this gentleman's talent. Great job! You have inspired me to learn to fingerpicking, as opposed to my usual rock 'n roll guitar playing.
(part 2) Sitting in my dorm room, when she answered the phone in hers, I let the needle down and played this song for her..."I know its kind of late". We dated for four years, and I still mourn the end of that relationship... she was and always will be the love of my life. Thank you for doing such a good job on the song. I don't know how to play guitar, and except for by reading the other comments I would never have known that you played both parts at once.
Usually people who sing their all time favourites are horrible to listen to, but you are the exeption to the rule! I love this song very much and have been singing it with you while watching... Thank you for making me sing this sweet song. My you find kindness wherever you go!
That was just plumb beautiful. You're so talented you should do something with it. You could do a whole show just by yourself and people would just sit there and listen and be relaxed and content. I sure would be. I love Jim Croce stuff and you do it to perfection. I have folders of music and you're in one now. I'm looking for more done by you. Keep 'em coming. You're an excellent musician. Don't just sit at home and play--get out there and show your talent--you have it in abundance.
I remember listenin' to this song back when I was only 15-16 yrs. ..was just like an alarm clock played by someone to wake me up for school!.. you perfectly played this song the way....i first heard it!! thank you for uploading it's awesome!
Very nice,your guitar work sent shivers down my spine.Very impressive for a tune written in the early 70's glad to hear his music again.You did Jim some justice Peace-out
You are basically playing both parts. You are really good. I met Jim Croce once in the early 70's. He had a Martin D28 or maybe d35. He was the friendliest most humble guy you would ever meet. His songs are really special.
What was he like?
tell us more!! what happened, what did he say?
JoltedLozengeK Every time he tried to talk it came out wrong
Tell me more. He’s amazing
Well-played sir
Who could possibly dislike this? Please take note he's singing and playing BOTH Jim's and Maury's guitar work! Great job!
Outstanding! Must be difficult to sing while playing such advanced progressions. Many thumbs up.
i have been watching this video for the past 15 years and im still amazed at how well you play this song
same, i just wonder if he is still playing guitar right now.
@@nell7903has to be he’s too good to stop
U R one of the best guitar players & singer i"ve seen...
You my friend have a great gift i wish i had...
God Bless you...

same, i hope he make some covers again.
Me too. I watch this video since he posted.
You NAILED IT.
What a gorgeous voice. Could listen to this all night. 😍Wait...daylight now - I did!
Hell... I've been playin' 20+ years and I can't play it that good. Anyone who disses this is a fool. Excellent work!!!
Never have I, nor will I ever again, hear such a spot on rendition of that song. At the risk of sounding creeping you made me feel the same way I feel when I hear Croce sing it. Extraordinary.
Amazing job. This has been my song to my wife for years and now at the age of 45 she is in hospice with cancer they say they can't do anymore for and she only has a few weeks to live. So thank you for this great cover!
hope she is still with you.
@@samharmonies unfortunately no she passed away soon after I posted that.
@@sandmanmod24 i am sorry to hear that.
I’m sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing well. You will always have this song to remind you of her.
Time heals all wounds. Once it does then you wear the scar proudly and go on with life.
Oh my, I graduated from CSUSB in 2021 and my whole college was the time I found Jimmy’s music. Beautiful soul. U will be missed.
Lord! I didn't expect that! That was so good!
Something about this guy and his song choices are exactly the kind of music I love.
Wow - gorgeous cover of a beautiful song.
Jim and Maury would be proud of you. You did justice to the memory. Keep up the good work. As long as young kids like you keep playing these great REAL songs, they'll never die. God has blessed you. charlie tew

Lupet! I like your style compare to others. Original ang dating. May tutorial ka ba nto pre?

溫柔的清唱，拂手而起的和弦。在這2分半鐘，拋離腦中思緒，卸下心中所纏，只是僻處一隅，默默地欣賞著。
That was REALLY good! Nice voice and great touch on the guitar. Thanks for posting!

So touching. Croce was one of my first musical heroes. Thanks for the memory.
I'm in the right side of TH-cam again.
You are basically playing both parts. You are really good. I met Jim Carey once in the early 70's. He had a Martin Luther King D28 or maybe d35. He was the friendliest most humble guy you would ever meet. His songs are really special.
Another great Jim Croce song, and a wonderful rendition. I'm just bowled over. I love what you're doing, and I hope you become rich and famous soon!!
It is always so nice to listen to someone with alot of talent.
Great job! Very good representation of the song, both vocally and instrumentally. You included the signature fills while maintaining the underlying chord structure and changes which is not always the easiest thing to do. Jim would be proud.

Brilliant playing!

That was the best rendition I think I have ever heard of this song. Excellent guitar playing and voice! Such a soothing voice. Very well done!
I don't normally click on covers. I must say I'm very impressed!!!
I can understand the 'dislikes'. These people are simply jealous of this gentleman's talent.
Great job! You have inspired me to learn to fingerpicking, as opposed to my usual rock 'n roll guitar playing.
(part 2)
Sitting in my dorm room, when she answered the phone in hers, I let the needle down and played this song for her..."I know its kind of late".
We dated for four years, and I still mourn the end of that relationship... she was and always will be the love of my life.
Thank you for doing such a good job on the song. I don't know how to play guitar, and except for by reading the other comments I would never have known that you played both parts at once.
Too familiar with the feeling of pinning for somebody who's gone. I hope you have moved on and are happy.
Great job on both vocals and guitar. Would love to hear more. Very inspiring.
Beautifully done . . . you have a great talent! Thank you for sharing :)
I agree, your voice is so smooth and beautiful, its great hearing a here and now version , good job
It takes a lot to move me... Dude THAT was perfect. I'm gonna replay in a bazillion times.
Usually people who sing their all time favourites are horrible to listen to, but you are the exeption to the rule! I love this song very much and have been singing it with you while watching... Thank you for making me sing this sweet song.
My you find kindness wherever you go!
WOW! Awesome cover!! Love the simplicity and the feeling. 5 stars man! Just ...WOW!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. You did a great job. Jim Croce's probably smiling up in Heaven listening to this.
Unbelievably excellent. Great playing and great singing. Your pinky has a life of its own.
He was Great! Thanks for keeping him alive
Once again, truly outstanding. As a big Jim Croce fan, thank you....
Congratulations Mr. StratoFender:
So skilled fingers to play simultaneously Maury´s and Jim´s guitars in just one.
Great job, thank you.
Wow ang galing. Panigurado proud c jim at maury sayo. Nice keep it up!
Brilliant and difficult guitar work. This young man has what it takes! Great job!
Simply the Best... Pure talent.
That was just plumb beautiful. You're so talented you should do something with it. You could do a whole show just by yourself and people would just sit there and listen and be relaxed and content. I sure would be. I love Jim Croce stuff and you do it to perfection. I have folders of music and you're in one now. I'm looking for more done by you. Keep 'em coming. You're an excellent musician. Don't just sit at home and play--get out there and show your talent--you have it in abundance.
I have to say, I almost turned it off when I realized it was a cover, but it was so pure I had to listen. thank you, it was beautiful!
Incredibly well done. Thanks for sharing this with the world, I wish you were still putting out content.
Very nice and a super incredible noticable uncanny Jim Croce impersonation including the string sliding sounds. Well Done!!! Thanks for the video!!
Great song. Great player. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for sharing your guitar and vocal gift with us! Very nice .
I remember listenin' to this song back when I was only 15-16 yrs. ..was just like an alarm clock played by someone to wake me up for school!.. you perfectly played this song the way....i first heard it!! thank you for uploading it's awesome!
Very nice,your guitar work sent shivers down my spine.Very impressive for a tune written in the early 70's glad to hear his music again.You did Jim some justice
Peace-out
Wow... I was entranced by the song so much that I read the comments at the end.... You have a gift my friend.
I feel sentimental listening to this. That's a beautiful rendition.

I'm writing this after picking myself up off the floor!!! You BLEW ME AWAY MAN!!!!!! Awesome job!!! whoh!!!
