Thank you, my friend 🙏✨ I just strum like this naturally so it’s a bit difficult to explain. My guitar is always tuned down half a step so if you’re in standard tuning put the capo on a fret lower to play along. I pick out the melody 🎵 in between strumming. So a G chord with the open B string, the D chord (played like a C and then sliding down to an Am7 chord. I hope this helps! Also let your strumming hand be free and not locked into any pattern. Give it space. As long as you keep to the beat it will be fine. I can recommend just tapping along to your favourite songs like a drummer 🥁 I approach strumming more like a drummer. Just follow your inner rhythm! No need to think about it 😉
Hello🤘, first I'm sorry for my english🤪, I am french but yes I feel the same as you, I love the way he sing and play this song,vibe,emotion .......🥰🤘🤘🤘
Growing up in the 90s loving this sound. From your original music to your covers, its always played with heart. Shannon hoon,layne stayley,chris Cornell,Chester B. As a fan keeping it moving. Love to hear nutshell. Keep it alive brother,)
Go!!!!✨✨✨✨✨✨ May the light (even that beautiful one on your wall) bless all your talent. .....but so sad that it makes me cry. It's been a long time since I experienced such heartbreaking feelings.
For 5 minutes, I was literally enthralled - your guitar playing is so unique! And your voice has a great quality to it. hope you gain the attention you deserve, brother.
Brother, I feel the music more when you play , your style touches my soul! Take a listen to days of the new - freak- or what's left for me (yellow tree album ) probly like it. Keep them coming brother man. Lovenit!!
Always loved this song, and you killed this one. Guitar was absolutely perfect through the entire song, and your voice works seamlessly together on this song. Great job
Awesome River. This really blew me away. I used to listen to this cd on repeat at night back in the mid-late 90's. It was so calming and I always slept like a baby. I have never heard a male who did this song justice until now. I have no other words. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Superb! Never stop to doing this versions! I really wish to see you playing "a girl from the north country" at Bob Dylan single version or The Lions version
I'm in love with your work. Idk where I can suggest music but I would love to listen Heart Shaped Box or Everlong, in your style. (Sorry for the broken english)
Absolutely awesome cover of one of my fav songs. Triggers the deep feels and melancholic nostalgia just as it should, like the original. I'd like to think that Hope Sandoval has seen this and is nodding her head in approval. Well done!
This is an absolutely amazing arrangement with brilliant vocals. I could listen to this on repeat for a long time. Inspired me to pickup the guitar and try to replicate your arrangement as best as I'm able. Great work.
I just love your playing style and choice of songs. I’ve been trying to teach myself guitar and have been pretty frustrated for a long time now. I’m feeling some motivation again listening to your channel. Thanks for posting ❤
Thank you for making my day. I first watched interstate love song and initially thought it would “only“ be instrumental, then hoped you would actually sing along and was blown away instantly. Having spent my teeage years and early twens in the 90s listening to most of the bands you covered (and singing along often with astonishing little talent) brought back so many good memories. Thank you!
Always loved this song ever since my first girlfriend put it on a mix tape for me. Great cover and playing on an Australian made maton guitar too. Thank you legend. Props from Oz!
I appreciate you singing all these songs that I grew up listening to! The 90s was definitely the golden age of music.
Absolutely! 🙌
No, that was the 70's! :)
@@blandyjapseye69 the 70’s were undeniably a golden age of music. The 90’s were too. Just two very different vibes.
Nailed it, well said. @@gregjpaquin
@@gregjpaquin Nah, Im from the 90s and its not as good as the 70s and 80s. Too much junk, lots of good music but a lot of junk aswell.
So simplified, but this is probably the best cover Ive ever heard of this song. Thanks!
Which chords he use? G D Am and which other?
Felt this in my soul…
¡Gracias! Amazing cover
How can I search on TH-cam to learn the strumming you did in this song?
I am a beginner
Thanks!! 🫡
Want to play this song to my girl, she loves it

This track is so nostalgic, a more innocent time of my life.....I shed a tear or two

Got some cool lighting effects in the back with sun reflecting the silhouette of leaves behind you.

Either way its a great job River
TY for sharing
Yes, definitely the same chord progression! Thanks, my friend :)
Been a long time since I listened to this song and I don't think I want to listen to the original after hearing this. Well done.
So much emotion…I caught myself holding my breath a time or two.
You have heart, soul and talent to spare my friend.
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! 🙏
woahh, no other song matches your vibe as much as this does
Growing up in the 90s loving this sound. From your original music to your covers, its always played with heart. Shannon hoon,layne stayley,chris Cornell,Chester B. As a fan keeping it moving. Love to hear nutshell. Keep it alive brother,)
Thank you, my friend. I've already covered Nutshell but would like to record it again with better audio and video quality. Cheers!
..can't believe it - just can't believe that you also covered ANOTHER one of my favorites. wOW. thank you - thank you
Dude. This brings back memories of the 90s man. Had a girl-friend who loved this song. Thank you so much. Thanks for sharing your gift bud.
Thanks, man! It really is a timeless song!
Really good cover. It pulled me in and held me there. Like the talons of an eagle.
Merci pour cette reprise mec.

Great cover again. Shadows dancing on the wall add a nice effect too
Thanks, man! It was a nice surprise seeing the shadows dancing on the wall when I watched the video back :)
I didn't know this group. Thanks for letting me know.😁
River…you effortlessly dance within the melancholy of this song quite beautifully 🎶🖐🏼🎶
Thank you, brother!
Go!!!!✨✨✨✨✨✨
May the light (even that beautiful one on your wall) bless all your talent.
.....but so sad that it makes me cry. It's been a long time since I experienced such heartbreaking feelings.
If you found yourself here your life is going to be so much better ♥️
I get so excited whenever you post a new song cause I already know it will one of the best versions I've heard of it
That's very kind of you to say! Thank you :)
Gorgeous rendition. People don’t know how hard it is to capture that vibe in one take. Subscribed.
God bless you River. Your renditions of these 90s songs are soothing in their own way.
Thank you
Thank you for your kind words! 🙏
Knocked it outta the park. So good. Thanks for sharing
You’re the embodiment of all my favorite grunge/alt artists wrapped up in a single being. Surreal dude!
Voice perfectly in tune with the guitar. Forming perfect chords with voice and guitar. Outstanding.

Thanks! Just keep at it and you'll get there :) I'm also self-taught. Just learned from chord and scale books in the 80s & 90s.
Thank you for making my day. I first watched interstate love song and initially thought it would “only“ be instrumental, then hoped you would actually sing along and was blown away instantly.

So happy to hear that, man! Thanks for the kind words 🙏The 90s was a great time for music! Cheers.
One I'd forgotten about, superb cover buddy 👏👏👍🤗
