- Because, it was. A huge thanks to Nick Lacroix at Zoov Guitars for offering to build me this incredible instrument. www.zoovguitars...
Thanks also to my Patreon patrons for helping make my videos possible!
Recorded straight to a Tascam Portastudio 414. Filmed on a Canon Rebel T3i. New shot location: Brooklyn, NY. If I can make it here...
As the guitar started I thought "This sounds impressive". Then the vocal came in and just blew me away. What incredible maturity and perfect delivery from such a young fellow. A truly masterful performance.
When I was 17.....I drank some very good beer...some very good beer I purchased with a Fake ID...My name was Brian McGee...I stayed up listening to Queen...when I was 17.
❤
This literally made my day better
I have been making a living out of playing as a solo guitarist/singer for 37 years, I would kill to have half of Josh's talent. Best thing on TH-cam by a mile.
Son, you just kept blowing my mind and getting better all the time. An inspiration to all musicians, total beast mode.
It was a very good cover.
Que pasa Chachis.
3:19 playing two simultaneous lines in different dynamics is a Big Brain Move
This arrangement should really be one of his most popular videos, so insanely good
There is not one genre you cannot master....young man, you are loved, respected, admired and yeah I suppose envied by many, many people. God has truly blessed you with so much ability and you have added the necessary elbow grease to make it all happen. Continued success in the future!
when I saw the title I thought "Oh no, don't do it, that's too tall a mountain for anyone to climb." And, my goodness, he did it. a worthy rendition of an unmatched song.
Kid,s, I have plying guitar for 50yrs.. This young man is gifted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With a voice to match! What he does with a guitar is unbelievable..Now a BIG fan!!
this is the best performance of this song I have ever heard.
i cant tell in words how good this is. on the one hand you are such a great singer an on the other such an incredible guitarist.
you are not an typical finger style guitarist, it has much more dynamics and lead inside. and it isnt alway the same, it is awesome how you can fit your guitar to the music. sometimes you play more sometimes less and the lead fills are always a little bit different. so its like i am just watching what you are doing next. i play guitar myself and have many idols but none of them is similar to you, you have your very own style and i love it. and this small touch of gain in your sound gives me chills
One of the best covers I had ever seen
I've followed your internet career from the very beginning, and to watch the quality of this performance now is wonderful. A real natural talent honed through years of dedication. Special.
I've watched a ton of your videos, but the sheer skill in this one is mindblowing. You've got every little thing in there, every tiny melody, all the intricate specifics, all the voicings that make this song what it is. What Sinatra needed an orchestra for, you did on solo guitar. Insanely good man!
I was born in the early 40’s and I can honestly say “Frank Sinatra” would have been proud to have Josh playing in his orchestra. I’m convinced - there’s nothing this guy can’t do on guitar - AND HE’S SO YOUNG...
I can't understand why people give it the thumbs down, the kids obviously a very talented person. Great playing and great song.
Damn this kid!!! Man he was born to play. Some people just have it. Good for you man!!!!
Astonishing that someone so young could realize this song completely.
at any age
Anyone who sings This song that does not have a baritone voice like Sinatra has a lot of trouble but you keep it simple and did it very well, the guitar playing tho is astounding
I’m 67, and I’ve always loved this song. Sinatra blew into our lives like a warm summer breeze back then. The lyrics reflect much of my sentiments as I reflect, and the song means so much more now. Josh, your talents have only increased as I’ve watched you over the past several years, and you have done such justice to this song. The talent that is most forthcoming is one of you and those about you, revealing your maturity and the fact that you are an ‘old soul’. Thanks so much. Keep on keepin’ on.
Lol gay
@@JerrySmith-ih9rd you're to old to say lol, lol
@@JerrySmith-ih9rd no it's to
I don't want to diss your singing in your other videos, but I think you're in particularly good voice in this one. Your voice just sounds so good to me here. It's like you're channeling Sinatra.
Amazing, beautiful guitar, great singing. I love Sinatra. Pure Perfection.
Holy shit, when that voice kicks in....
Vocals...instrumentation...arrangement...interpretation...superlative! Somewhere, Frank has to be smiling!
I don't know which is better his amazing left hand finesse of the fingerboard, his right hand fingerpicking and strumming or his superior vocals. Put them all together and you have a musical master. Another fine video by Josh Turner. What an amazing talent.
Amazing. You're an old soul....
Great Singer, Amazing Musician... but most of all, a Consummate Artist who just keeps getting better and better. One of your best yet!
I never imagined anyone could do this classic justice with just a guitar, I like your style Josh, first class.
So few musicians could pull something like this off.
Josh, you are amazingly talented! The way you've mimicked the orchestral arrangement here and in other songs is ingenious. The skill with which you play, and the quality of your voice is leaving your followers speechless. You are indeed a rising star... all the best to you and thank you for entertaining us!
Astonished.. Hadn't heard this song since I bought it as a teen on 45 RPM and played it to death when it first came out. Just an hour ago, now at 64, it came fully into mind (this morning cooking breakfast, I happened to think about a city girl from the '80s, the big one that got away!) and I was surprised to find I remembered and could still sing the whole thing and hear all that lush instrumemental in my head. Smiled and thought "Yep, that sums me up, all right! Great song, I wonder if there are guitar sheets for it, sort of Joe Pass or Jimmy Rainey style?" Smiled some more. Then thinking about other awesome but mystifying guitar styles I could never figure out, I started thinking about Nick Drake and Bert Jansche (whose great Black Water Side I recently found many YT tutorials on). 10 minutes later I was on TH-cam looking for Drake, and found your great breakdown of Nick's sound, which led to your superb Three Hours, then to Hazy Janie. And then, by completely unasked for magic, to here. Funny old universe. Thanks for a bit of time travel and a superb performance! And I'll break out the guitar and get your tabs...
An awesome looking and sounding guitar. This is one of my very favorite songs since I was 17. Now I am in the autumn of my years. Josh, a great interpretation!
The harmony concept of this song is incredebly complex, your version has captured it all. Cheers
I bet you where told this a million times but man... your music is amazing... i love it so much. You and your friends do the most beautifull music , and i would love one day to get to see you on the big stage in from off millions. PLEASE don't ever give up on music , much love from Portugal!
How the hell can anyone not like this? Must be jealous and envious. Well, I'm envious also but I know a musical genius when I'm seeing it. Great rendition of a classic Sinatra.
When genius cover genius. Never grow tired of this version. Love what you did to the composition; especially the "35" part.
I have to say, I do like this version better than Sinatra's. While his voice is better than yours, you give a sincerity and vulnerability to the song that brings tears to my eyes.
He doesn't know this feeling yet, but interprets it as if he does. BTW, a wonderful arrangement, what a talented young man.
Not sure which I'm more impressed with the guitar playing or the vocals ~ Great Job on Both!
My eyes are misty and I have the chills. What a fantastic arrangement! You continue to grow in skill and breadth of repertoire. When I grow up I want to be able to play like you. (I'll be 64 next month).
Absolutely astonishing. Quite apart from brilliant playing, just six strings sitting in for a whole Nelson Riddle orchestra, Josh has a wonderful voice, sweet, rich and with none of those harsh cracks that people “oversinging” get. I cannot imagine what he will sound like in another ten years time. I had just watched the original session, then a very creditable tribute from our own Robbie Williams, then this came up. I won’t look anymore as I think it just peaked. I’m a rock guitar fan at heart, but good music, well played or sung is good no matter what genre. So much talent, a wonderful soothing find at the end of a day.
All true. Except Gordon Jenkins did the Sinatra arrangement, not Riddle. ;)
Is this real? It can't be. Surreal. Highest praise and accolades to such a talented and disciplined young talented man.
Stops you in your tracks, grabs hold on your heart and won't let you stop listening. Tears of joy streaming down. Keep up the good work.
Seriously man, your channel is one of the most musical channels I have seen in TH-cam. :)
I am always impressed by your ability to sing flawlessly while playing very complex guitar arrangements. You often see one or the other but to combine them requires someone of enormous talent. Well done. Frank would be proud.
that is the most badass headstock I have ever seen
Many marvelous things about this recording but one I really appreciate is the amount of gain in the guitar path. Clear and sweet when played gently and breaking up just right when it gets louder.
Once in a generation talent
Something is telling me that you could me an excellent Doors cover with that voice!
jim morisson had a much higher vocal range than sinatra even thought his voice sounded really deep
Josh is definitely the most popular youtuber in my favorites playlist
I come back to this every single year like clockwork lol
You really do got it, Son. Bless you. Keep shining your gift. What a pleasrue to hear real music again!!
I just go for the like. Don't even need to watch the video first. Josh you're a pro! I'm a big fan, cheers!
So glad to find Josh and all of the music he's done over the last 11 years with his friends and various players. He's seems to take so many songs from so many artists, and respectfully to the original artist, he just seems to make them better in some ways. Perhaps like treasures handed down, and he humbly, without even intending to, he naturally polishes them up. What I also find amazing, is that even though he has his own tender and great range in his voice, he effortlessly channels a true shade of tones and inflections, of those who he covers, be it paul simon, paul mccartny, james taylor, bob dylan, and here even frank, among others.. And that to stellar guitar and banjo, and other instruments he plays, and just Wow! It reminds me that humans can be worthy, and that beauty still exists, even in the midst of the sh*tshow that this world has to offer, which babbles on and on and on.... Thank you to Josh and to other empowered musicians playing to uplift the world and do art or art's sake, if nothing else.
If anybody is wondering, thats what talent looks and sounds like.
Mike W. I'm so glad I found out who Josh is. I listen to him often. What a talented young man.
The voice was what stunned me.
This masterpiece turned to be my lullaby for the past few days.
Unreal I'm speechless
My god that was a fine guitar accompaniment, and while doing such a nice job singing at that.
One of the great youtube musicans on you tube!! great singing and playing.
Good reading. People try to sing Sinatra. His phrasing is all about reading like an actor. The playing is swell as well. You have an amazing ear for someone so young.
Amazing. i'am a brazilian guy, strings student, and you give us a very special moments of real music. Thanks. Obrigado
WOW ....Stunning performance of a marvelous Sinatra song. This kid is a genius ! !
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!....no further comment needed!!!
My favorite from your channel. I keep on listening to it again and again without getting bored. Special mention to the guitar arrangement and playing. Wish there could be a tab for it !
Awesome stuff Josh! You may not remember me, but I (Luke) hosted you as a prospective student at Hope College back in 2010. You picked up a banjo in my room and amazed us all. Glad to hear you are still making great music! I've been binge watching your videos since finding them! Keep it up and I'll keep listening!
I rarely comment on videos but wow. Just wow.
I do comment often on YT videos but I don't have enough words for this kid! There is not a song he and his cohorts have done that was not spot on!! Such a truly amazing talent! Thank you Josh Turner!!!!!!!!
How do you take a Sinatra classic with a full orchestra and do it solo with just a souped up guitar?
Answer: Watch the brilliant interpretation of some skinny kid Named JOSH TURNER.
He is truly brilliant and has to be seen and heard to be believed!
I know who’s smiling in heaven right now and his blue eyes are probably tearing up!
Truly a classic rendition of a great piece. You really ought to be picked up by a major label from somwhere
You sing beyond your years. I'd be very curious to hear you singing this in 20 years from now. Great guitar arrangement, I hope to steal some influence from it 🙏🙏
Incedible voice and amazing player, not to mention the talent it takes to compose a piece so well, I tip my hat sir!
Josh, how did you get your voice to sound so close to Sinatra's? This is the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. You playing that Zoov is like an orchestra in of itself. It's the only Sinatra song I actually like. I keep watching this video over and over and over.
everything you are doing is, quite frankly, astoundingly beautiful. thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!
Love that you are really connected to what you play. You don't seem to play songs out of bragging rights or just B/c someone requests it. Your admiration for the music & the instruments you play is inspiring.i will be this good some day soon
Josh! This is a very difficult song that is saturated with emotions, full of dynamism and artfully prepared is entered. Excellent guitar and singing with enormous power, I can only congratulate him!
I am killing my confinement time with Netflix, but there are moments I do something else like watching TH-cam: recently Josh Turner and Carlson too. But you are so bloody good, Fauda, how exciting it is, has to wait. You are a musical gift to human spirit. Love your voice too.
This is the definition of beautiful. Congratulations. Your voice, your playing.... All your efort was worth it! You've got talent kid!
i'm in the autumn of my life.... your heartfelt rendition of this old beauty brought me to tears. thanks, Josh. i pray when you make it big you will still be you. i worry for you. God bless.
it's always a treat to hear your music, Josh, but this was really above and beyond. simply perfect.
I have compared so many guitar players and subconscious crowned many over the years as the best I’ve seen. But, although some have clever techniques and amazing tricks, overall Josh’s ability to play intricate pieces, both rhythm and lead, melody and emulate quartets and other multi interment compositions, oh and yet sing while doing it? Unfathomable! Probably one of the top talents anywhere. Even Tommy Emanuel , one of the greats is not this rounded and complete.
another one of Josh's songs that you just can't stop listening to, know what i mean?
Wow! So so impressed! Gave me chills.
So talented at both singing and playing the guitar!
This is outstanding, w/o being a Sinatra fan, I land here again and again. The vocals are incredible and I love how you played the bass lines🎶
That moment when you involuntarily hit the pause button in the middle of a sublime performance on an epic-sounding guitar, 'cause you just freaked out when you realized what you were looking at with how the maple body was made. Damn. Could we keep my woodworking nerdgasms separate from my musical ear-gasms please? I think I sprained something over here.
+Josh Turner
Huh. Didn't know Walnut could be had with sapwood that wide. That log must have been huge. And now I finally took notice of your description, and the link to your luthier. Maybe I'll direct some questions at him. I'm sure he's gonna get swamped with traffic after this.
Holy fucking christ on a bike, that is the coolest guitar I've ever seen.
Sitting at home on a rainy Monday morning in Scotland, you've captured my mood perfectly! Many thanks for posting. It's always a pleasure to listen to your wonderful music.
This is far better than the original. Your delivery is well measured and more incisive without the distraction of the original string accompaniment. Do you have a lossless download link to this one Josh?
Loving the channel!
Sean I believe if you donate to his Patreon you receive a lossless download
Super Talent. Holy Cow - this man needs a contract NOW!!
Over these last two weeks I've been watching your videos and needed to tell you I love the way you play and sing, stylish and very talented. I hope you can show that special talent for a long time and a lot more people. Something like that is always necessary to share. Greetings from Spain. :)
I can't get enough of this. Addicted
this is damn impressive. first I thought that's recorded Frankie's voice. You're truly gifted!
greetz from Vienna
this never gets old. i'll look forward to hearing you play another version once you're headed toward the autumn. or maybe at least 35.
Dude, this is awesome! Very good vocals too!
Oh, and I laughed my ass off at your page video of you singing the country Josh Turner, "There's a long, black train..."
incredible, you know your guitarn your sound, your voice and your song.
Josh that voice wow
Josh, watched a bunch of your videos. You're Amazing as well as Inspiring. Their greatness in all of us, yours is very apparent.
i ve been plying guitar for 10 yrs, my guitar teacher showed me the way( the path) to play like you do, but ther incredible amount of work is daunting,, if i play 50 % of your style guitar i would be satified,, yes i am in awe of the work it took for you to be at this level ,, talent and hard work
