Bertolf does Guitar cover of Paul McCartney's song "Martha My Dear" that's on the White Album. Tab and chord chart at www.bertolf.nl/product/tab-not... www.bertolf.nl www.intagram.com/bertolf bertolf bertolf
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 really don't understand why this doesn't have millions of views, this is one of the most precise, elegant and beautiful renditions of any Beatles songs. It's also incredible that this was 15 years ago!, truly one of the best musicians I've ever seen
I love this cover above all the rest of Beatles covers in TH-cam. I mean, the difficulty of the song, and his laid down style for singing make it look so easy and pleasant! My god! Such an inspiration. Congrats! 🎉
As a guitar player much love to this cover. My hands were cramping up watching this! Such a great version of one of the catchiest and most difficult Beatles songs transcribed for guitar. Let alone the singing was perfect. Wow. Damn you TH-cam for taking 15 years to show me this! (Nahh, just kidding TH-cam, I am addicted)
Bertolf Lentink released four solo albums and an album under the band name Color Reporters; the most recent is a beautiful solo album called First & Then. His original music is definitely worth hearing - great songwriting!
That guitar playing and vocal range were just perfectly made for this song. Something really special took place and I'm glad we have this video as evidence of this
I don't know why this has only 4,600 views because it is brilliant! Extraordinary playing and a wonderful voice. You should be proud of this video. This is the best cover I have ever heard of this song.
You are a fine and talented musician; it's difficult to say which is better: the singing or the playing. The years of practice ring true and attest to your dedication.
I came from the she’s leaving home cover after seeing the comments on how good this one is and I can only agree. Your arrangements and singing are great. Congratulations!!
From o e guitarist to another, well done. All chord changes included for the discerning listener unlike my brother in law who would play this song with two chords.
I just found this and it’s become one of my favourite, if not, most favourite cover ever. It’s beautiful my friend. The guitar chords and licks are perfect and you sing really well too! ❤ from India
Bertolf!! wat fijn om te zien dat deze video opeens in het algoritme van velen is beland gezien alle nieuwe comments! Ik luister m al jaren. Je nieuwe album is trouwens fantastisch! Groeten van een mede-Blauwvinger!
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! Thanks Bill
sweet performance of one of my all time favorite beatle songs. this song actually shows how years ahead paul was in his writing - style that carried on from the 70s to now. great job!
Bro is still liking comments 15 years later. What a legend
I was today years old when I found this, simply perfect my dude!
Probably the most technically difficult song in the Beatles catalogue. And you tackled it with nothing but an acoustic guitar. Props, dude.
Hell yea! Some crazy chords right there…and singing at the same time?! Bad ass
One of the very best covers on TH-cam.
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.
Jason Murdock that´s good enough a take, dude
Brien Byers definitely, a brilliant cover.
This song is a lot more difficult than Mother Nature's Son.
look up mike masse doing toto Africa. if you have already seen it, it'll blow your socks
Who doesn’t like this??? I’ve been playing almost 60 years and this is phenomenal!
Yes, i agree!!
This is 15 years ago???
You are ahead of time.
this guy is middle aged now...easy to forget how long TH-cam's been around. Great song, great cover!
why this doesn't have millions of views?? it was so good... like, why?
Probably because he doesn't have a pair of Boobs.
15 Years it took me to get here! Where have I been all your life? This is the most amazing Beatles cover I’ve ever heard.
How are you not famous
He is in the Netherlands
because he doesnt have any talent

Most under-appreciated Beatles cover on YT.

This arrangement is pure gold! If you tabbed this out and shared it, it would mean the world to me!
It's scary how it sounda exactly like the piano original. Absolutely great cover! Love your voice too.
the best fucking cover of any song I have ever seen. gobsmacking
I love this cover above all the rest of Beatles covers in TH-cam. I mean, the difficulty of the song, and his laid down style for singing make it look so easy and pleasant! My god! Such an inspiration. Congrats! 🎉
Incredible cover. This is one of the most impressive acoustic recordings I’ve seen

My god in heaven that was absolutely magnificent. It truly challenges the original. You've bowled over a lifelong Beatles fan. Congrats.
One of the coutless Beatles songs my brain picked out to obssess over for no reason. I'm glad it did. You absolutley killed this dude. Great job 👍
Omg only one word, AMAZING. Can't stop listening!!!
Love those covers which carry the musical beauty of the original song instead of just the lyrics.

Hi. Thanks again for all the nice comments. By popular demand, I now finally made the time to make a tab + chord chart. It's on www.bertolf.nl/winkel/
Can't wait to hear your versions!
No waaaaaaaay! I'm definitely going to learn this one day. It's been one of my favourite youtube videos for ages ✌️
Hi. Is that link still valid? It sends to me a dutch web hosting service I think?
@@Adam_Barrett Hey does that site work for you? It sends me to some domain hosting page
@@bharatpoojary9791 email me at bertolf@bertolf.nl and we’ll work something out.
How in the hell did you just do that? ..... you are amazing
Just. Beautiful.
He can reach Paul's voice tones. !!
How did this bring actual tears to my eyes
This is TH-cam gold
Best cover on youtube.
Very talented! Playing and singing simultaneously is difficult, especially a complex picking, tempo, and vocal range. Well done and thank you!
The best cover of this song I ever listen.
That guitar playing and vocal range were just perfectly made for this song. Something really special took place and I'm glad we have this video as evidence of this
2021 and still now and then enjoying this great cover.
Absolutely brilliant. I am usually fed up with the thousands and thousands of covers. I like original. But this is just incredible... Well done.

Been listening for 8 yrs now and Bertolfs' version still makes me alive...thank you
His arrangement is like an orchestra and his voice fits so well! I'm jealous in a good way. I want to play like you!
That's the best cover I've ever seen.
