What a fantastic comment. My heartfelt gratitude to you for taking the time to leave such a beautiful compliment. I think your words are the sort of reaction that anyone who ever picks up and instrument is looking for. To be able to reach people and for people to feel the passion i have for music through these videos is more than i could have ever dreamed of. I have a love/hate relationship with the way TH-cam is run, because of your comment - today is a love day. Thank you :)
Your welcome mate I've been playing your videos for 10 years plus now and I play guitar today because 10 years ago you inspired me when I was at what I ithought was my lowest time and now I know that highs and low are apart of life and guess what ....... I back at that low point but this time its really rock bottom and sometimes I just wanna close my eyes and never wake up it's Dec 30 and tomorrow I'll be 45 but this life get no easier I've loved lost lived and now I wanna ghost..I hope 2021 is a good year for you.... all the the best from Derby east Midlands United Kingdom pal.
Awesome cover.... Not long ago, my frontman passed away just recently with cancer,. he was only 42. I really miss him. He had an amazing voice. I always told him, ur my John and i'm ur Richie. We always played acoustic covers. Specially Bon Jovi tunes.
:D Thank you! It feels good to see those words, like any musician i often doubt myself and never get tired of hearing encouraging words. Best to you, Gareth :)
Knowing the chords, the words, and having timing does not a musician make. DELIVERY&PASSION along with the skills separate players from true artists. I can't say this enough my man, your version of this song moves me to tears bc I see my own mortality in the lyrics as I grow old. It is your incredible PASSION and how you DELIVER the lyrics is what makes u very special. Thank u for putting your heart&soul into every word.
Oh wow, where the hell did you come from?! Your voice is freaking perfect to sing jon's songs. Never saw anyone hit those notes so effortless besides jon himself. You deserve so many more subscribers.
@@redeemernigoohaem9735 That top note on Santa Fe when he sings "Got debts to pay in Santa Fe" is a G#4 while Jon's was a A#4, so Jon's is a bit higher. I still think this a great cover, but not original key
Oh, well thank you very much. It's good to know you like what i do. A large part of who i am musically comes from what Bon Jovi have done over the years. Love the band and everything they stand for.
Wow bro! I just discovered your covers today after hearing the Estranged cover. So I have done some investigating and lo and behold...you've done so many of my all time favorites. So awesome...thank you so much! 👏 👏 👏
Man, that's pretty wonderful!!! I'm a musician too. I play this song now and then. But your voice, your timbre, is very beautiful!!! You're very good! Seriously. Congratulations!
They say that no man is an island And good things come to those who wait But the things I hear are there Just to remind me Every dog will have his day The spirits they intoxicate me I watched them infiltrate my soul They try to say it's too late for me Tell my guns I'm coming home I swear I'm gonna live forever Tell my maker he can wait I'm riding somewhere south of heaven Heading back to Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe Once I was promised absolution There's only one solution for my sins You gotta face your ghosts and know With no illusions That only one of you is going home again And I blame this world for making A good man evil It's this world that can drive a Good man mad And it's this world that turns a killer Into a hero Well I blame this world for making A good man bad Now I ain't getting into heaven If the devil has his way I swear I'm gonna live forever Heading back to Santa Fe Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe Solo So I save a prayer For when I need it most To the Father, Son And the Holy Ghost And sign it from a sinner With no name When I meet my maker When I close the book On the hearts I broke And the lives I took Will he walk away 'Cause my soul's Too late to save Now I ain't getting into heaven If the devil has his way I swear I'm gonna live forever Heading back to Santa Fe Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Thank you very much for saying that. It's really amazing how our influences affect our style. I have listened to Bon Jovi and Guns N Roses all my life and it really does seem to have rubbed off in ways i never expected.
😪 this song makes me cry everytime a heard it. It remember me a great time of my life... Congratulations for your cover. You're a great artist. Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I have watched so many of your videos my man and what is most compelling in your music is that I always feel your PASSION. Obviously being technically savvy and putting in the thousands of hours of hard practice time must be done but the PASSION in your style is what grabs this listener. Beautiful haunting rendition of this very powerful song. Wow!
Very nice! And it's not the easiest song too! Jon's voice was amazing when he sang Santa Fe! And yours is very nice to listen to as well. Thanks for this cover!
Hey, Gareth. Greetings from India. Your compilation is great. Your vocal transition is excellent and good rendering. Keep the good work going...look forward. Cheers and happy strumming. Suyog.
2020 and still listening to these amazing covers. Such a stress reliever. :)
Me too.
Gareth is my favourite interpreter of classic Jovi tunes.
He's amazing, and I've been watching him for at least 10 years
Such a talent.
👍👍👍👍👍 sweep..

Better than original

The only really good cover on this song out there. I cant even find a decent version live with Jon himself. Ty for sharing mate.
Jon sucks live
So true…😢 thank you 🤘🏻
Exactly
Damn it Gareth, what are you doing nowadays? Why did you stop uploading songs?
:D Thank you! It feels good to see those words, like any musician i often doubt myself and never get tired of hearing encouraging words. Best to you, Gareth :)
2022 oh my goooood
i'm mulyadi from indonesian ,everyday watching this video..awesome...
maybe someday you can make album with acoustic guitar
to day is 2022 ... still love this song

it s not in original tone u noob
Very few males can pull this one off in its original key. Even Jon sang it a whole octave lower the few times he did sing it live.
Uncle Bozo no actually many males can pull it off . Just not like jon . Not like that .
@@redeemernigoohaem9735 That top note on Santa Fe when he sings "Got debts to pay in Santa Fe" is a G#4 while Jon's was a A#4, so Jon's is a bit higher. I still think this a great cover, but not original key
Nicholas Skovdal yes it s a nice cover
Never said it s not
very nice cover...keep the fire burning and keep rock'n
Oh, well thank you very much. It's good to know you like what i do. A large part of who i am musically comes from what Bon Jovi have done over the years. Love the band and everything they stand for.
Woow.....The way you play the guitar and your voice are amazing,i love it 👍👍This is one of my favorit song from Bon Jovi

I am stunned, One of my favourite Bon Jovi songs and you sang it wonderfully. Thank you for this.
Hi Gareth, you did this amazing cover song three years ago. Bravo!
mantap
Best acoustic version I heard in my life, best inclusive that one song by BJ in San Francisco.
They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there
Just to remind me
Every dog will have his day
The spirits they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know
With no illusions
That only one of you is going home again
And I blame this world for making
A good man evil
It's this world that can drive a
Good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer
Into a hero
Well I blame this world for making
A good man bad
Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Solo
So I save a prayer
For when I need it most
To the Father, Son
And the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner
With no name
When I meet my maker
When I close the book
On the hearts I broke
And the lives I took
Will he walk away
'Cause my soul's
Too late to save
Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgement day in Santa Fe
Beautiful voice... wish to sing like you Sir... great job. :)
Thank you very much for saying that. It's really amazing how our influences affect our style. I have listened to Bon Jovi and Guns N Roses all my life and it really does seem to have rubbed off in ways i never expected.
