    Probably the most technically difficult song in the Beatles catalogue. And you tackled it with nothing but an acoustic guitar. Props, dude.

      Look up a David Crosby lookin guy covering "Mother Nature's Son."
      It is better than this one, and that is in no way a knock on this cover, but a testament to how good the other is.

    I LOVE your singing here. Your fingerpicking pushes along quite nicely with your truly brilliant singing.
    This is my passion to find or compose great songs with vocal. You really jaw-dropped me to say the least.
    You are the only one that I’ve ever heard that can sing n play while fingering on a STEEL string dreamingly!!!
    I’m getting older n have stomach cancer n it really starts to hurt when I bend over n finger those hard - to - reach beautiful arrangement sections which are finely done so nicely!!
    It gets frustrating to realize that I am not going to reach that very high
    plateau that you have reached so magnificently without a WHOLE lot of work. I hardly ever dish out this kind of praise to any guitarist-singer. This song you have done is very, very special!
