Rocky Mountain High(cover)- Parker Lanier

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2020
- Rocky Mountain High was one of the first songs I really sat down and learned. I watched countless videos of John Denver playing it live and I believe this is almost 100% how he played it on guitar. He mixed it up throughout the years and I have taken a few of my favorite versions and put them all together! John Denver has always been a favorite of mine and this is my favorite song by him. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much El Jaye! It means a lot to know your always watching. Might have to get a few more lessons in sometime!!
Man! you get a '10' on Authenticity, skill, and soul. Absolutely, John should be smiling. Well done!
Man I really appreciate that. One of the coolest things anybody's ever said to me!
well done Parker... John Denver would be proud of how you did justice to the guitar and vocals...!!!!
I love the passion and reverence with which you perform this song. John Denver would be proud.
passion and reverence are exactly what I have for John and his music! Thanks for listening!
I cannot believe I just found this channel. You are fantastic! JD would be proud of you!
I’ve been playing this song for years............ wrong. Now that I’ve heard you play it, what I thought must have been leprechauns plucking strings from inside his guitar is actually just lovely flatpicking. I’ve got to go back to the drawing board on this one. Fantastic rendition!
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a tough song but the pick is the key!
A Star is born!
Finally someone playing it right! Definitely the best cover of this song on you tube, Epic! 🤘🔥🤘
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
☑👍Great rendition ‼️❗
this is a really difficult John Denver song to cover both play and sing _ it's the first song that turned me onto JD music back when his first Greatest Hits LP came out and I've been a fan ever since _I tried to learn Rocky Mountain High over the course of many years but finally gave up , for the most part as quick flat picking did not grow into my personal acoustic style _ I can only play and sing some of his milder fingerstyle songs ⁉️ 🎵🎶 🎵 😊😉
I've tried playing this song since Aug 2023, I'm getting a little better. You make it look easy. Such a beautiful song. Great job : )
Damn, you nailed it. I agree that you get a 10/10 on authenticity and being true to the spirit of the song.
Hey thank you!!
That was incredible 😍 i love john denver
Absolutely excellent! I pulled out my 12 and played along! Very impressive. Very well done, guitar and vocals! And you can tell you really like the song. I believe John would be impressed. 👍🎵🎶
love a 12-string! thanks for listening and playing along!
Fantastic.. Closest to John's I ever seen...You must have spent hours and hours getting that guitar part down.... Unless your just a natural!...Well done good singing too....10/10.
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Ive seen several JD cover artist. You’re much better!!!
Well done!
John Denver reincarnation ! plays the guitar exactly like JD😀
Wow!!!
Just as good as the original, great job man 👍
Bro you totally aced this song- trying learn this favorite of mine and loved your rendition- beautiful!!

I've heard a lot of people sing that song over the years. Haven't enjoyed a rendition like that since the original
Love it
You know it is an amazing cover if it has zero dislikes

Young man - you have a very good voice and very talented with your guitar playing. Lou
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Beautiful. Very nicely done.
sublime
Wow! That was awesome!!! That tone on your guitar incredible! You nailed it dude!!!
Thanks! I love the Hummingbird!
Parker, it warms my heart to hear your from-the-heart covers of John’s music. You do him proud. Wish you could have met each other.
I would've loved that!
In a blue night, just play "Rocky Mountain High" and everything will turn okay. Great cover!
Thanks!
Really good, man!
Great take.....
beautiful!
Faithful adaptation. Very good!
many thanks!!
The best effort I've seen without a doubt...tremendous technique and clean playing, the payoff at the end with the falsetto was superb.
Excellent!
Fantastic singing & playing Parker, beautiful cover. Well done.
Thank you!
No one seems to be able to play this correctly and you NAILED it
took some time to figure out for sure! thank you!
Best cover I've heard. Your voice reminds me of Neil Young.
Thank you! Neil Young is a favorite for sure!
Excellent! Guitar work is right and your voice is very good. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!!
this is beautyful and natural. You made it yours without loosing the nerve JD put into it. And the playing is solid, natural an true to the origin too.
thank you! no need to mess with such a great song!
Brilliant, moving performance. I love wandering around the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, and this is far and away my favorite John Denver song.
Great job man! Hard song to play, and almost impossible to play and sing. You nailed it bro
I've heard this song well over a thousand times and this is a beautiful recreation. Nice work!
Wow, thank you!
Fantastic performance. Your guitar playing is top notch along with your great voice, Cheers!!! 😺
thanks!
Nicely Done. . . NICELY DONE!
Thank You!
You hooked me up on that, nice playing like John Denver. Very good cover of the song.
Thanks!
I'm blown away. Best cover I've heard of this song! And great guitar skills. I imagine that this is pretty much what it would sound like if Neil Young covered John Denver with Eddie van halen rockin' the acoustic guitar.
haha sounds good to me! Appreciate it!
So very good. Even sound like John. Played this for years with similar guitar - SJ200?, but only manage the chords. As noticed you instructor is (rightly) proud. I need to hear more of you. Will checkout your links.
This is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you!!
Damn bro, I'm trying to learn this. It's so hard to get the verse riff down while singing. Props to you sir. This is some awesome musicianship
thank you!
dude, still listening, stay just as you are of course grow etc... but kep your aura of now, you comfort, your nerves all that is, these things seems to give you that folk feel that I feel John himself captured.
thank you!
Having watched your performance for so many times now, I would like to leave this comment: The Beechcraft is still flying!

Wonderful job. A pleasure to listen to your interpretation and watch you strum so effortlessly.

Hey, that was really very good! Thanks so much for a cover worthy of the original. I bet JD would have enjoyed this one too.
Wow, thank you!
I LOVED THIS

Well done with feeling. Keep the good music alive.
I'm trying too!
It isn't easy to watch anyone cover a John Denver song and maybe, especially, this song. You made it look easy. Bravo!

thank you! you sound great!
Great job! I've been working on this song to add to my set list for my gigs, but yore guitar playing is about the smoothest I've seen on covers of this song (much better than mine) and your voice matches the tone and feel of the lyrics exactly!👍

Amazing guitar, wonderful voice!
thank you!
First of all, I think you have a great name.....second, you nailed it. It pleases me more than you know to see a young fella like you loving the music of John Denver like I did when I was your age.... I"m now 71years old. I heard John's first hit, Country Roads while a student in college. When Rocky Mountain High came out, I was working and I bought a Honda Gold Wing Motorcycle and drove out west from Ohio to see, for myself, what John was singing about. That was 40 years ago and since then, I have lived in the Rocky Mountains.....from my front porch I'm ringed about by majestic mountains and I live on the top of one of them....Blessed, truly blessed.....all because of this man's music. Keep it up Parker....you've got it.
Wow that’s amazing to hear! Thank you so much. One thing I’ve got to do is take a trip to the Rocky Mountains someday!
Love this cover
Wow! This is very inspiring. Your voice and playing sound wonderful.
Many thanks!! ✌️
Best cover Ive seen for this song, amazing
Thank you!!
Dude what a great cover
Beautiful rendition. Taking something old and lost, and bringing it to life again. Thank you.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I always try to stay true to the original while still making the song “my own.”
@@ParkerLanierMusic I love your guitar playing too. Perfect.
Killed it. That was awesome, man!
Thank you man!!
Overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Wow! Outstanding

Awesome. You are the heir apparent to John Denver.
