Check out Drew's newest album, Roots and Wings, here: bit.ly/2kehNoT Keep up with Drew Hale here: drewhalemusic.com / drewhaleband / drewhaleband / drewhaleband
@DrewHale you've inspired me to get back into playing and singing. Been playing for 20 yrs, but took a break with life, kids, divorce, parents health declining, demanding job. But I believe music is the only thing that can truely cure a soul. Comedy and laughter help too. I hope you dont mind me stealing this version. Its been a blast belting out at the top of my lungs. Just thought I'd comment to let you know your work is important to many people and 99% of the time you have no idea about it. Cheers and God speed brother.
Man, thanks so much. I’ve always appreciated the original, and I can play it, but there’s just something raw and simple about playing it in standard. Thanks for listening
@@chrismiller8421learned a tip to buy a second set of strings. Put two b strings on and tune that one down to A. I have a second guitar set up like this pretty much for the goo goo dolls
This is so impressive. I literally gave a second guitar set to goo goo dolls tuning so I can play this in open D. Didn’t even know it would be possible to play it in standard
I have tried to play this song but I can’t make it through without crying. The words mean so much for so many people. What a beautiful rendition. Thank you
Really spectacular cover of this song. You got inside the vocals and made them your own. Great song and you took it in a whole new place and I really hope the original artist appreciates it as much as I think we all do. 🎉 Hopefully the band gets a chance to see this cover.
I just found this a few days ago and I can’t stop watching it. As music lover and a solo acoustic cover artist I say this from the bottom of my heart. You absolutely KILLED this one brother. I love it!
Brother!, this is honestly the BEST acoustic cover of a song I have ever heard!. Loved every second of it, you absolutely nailed it to the point that I actually think it’s better than the Goo Goo Dolls version and that’s against the rules to say apparently haha. Well done brother
Beautiful! And thanks for showing us how to pull the song off in standard tuning! Also, what a pro move on recovering from the pick loss towards the end of the solo moving to the finish.
Wow, this gave me goosebumps. Great guitar playing and your voice has a lot of feeling and power. This has to be one of the best covers of Name out there. Congrats, Drew!
Best cover ever in standard Tuning!!! Amazing voice!!! Losing the pick and switching to finger picking without skipping a beat, spot on!!! Keep up the videos. New follower here. Cheers!!
The skill required to adapt this song into such a credible version in standard tuning cannot be overstated. Shivers. A song that will never fail to scratch the pain away. Thank you and thank you to the Goo Goo Dolls.
im not the first to say that you lost the pick at the end of the solo. but you kept it going, and it rolled perfectly. almost as if it was intentional. thats pure skill. awesome vid brah
One of my favorite songs to play, but I’ve never played it as good as you just did. And your voice, WOW you sound better than most singers nowadays. You could sing any genre. Keep it up
Did anyone catch that his pick flew off to go live with Jesus during the solo. And he just kept on playing and never missed a beat. Legend.
He switched to a thumb pick finger down strum. This dude has played some Johny Cash.
I sure did 😂
Gone! Haha played perfectly
Yep, didn’t even phase him
His pick left the solar system
Leaving this comment so everytime someone likes it i can come back to and listen to this Masterpiece
Welcome back!
Figured you should listen again. Wow!!
Bro the passion, the energy, u fucking nailed that shit.
There is so much unknown incredible talent in this world. Bravo.

All the best to you!
Man... it's great seeing someone play this without using that break-a- string Rzeznik tuning. Bravo, brother!
Man, thanks so much. I’ve always appreciated the original, and I can play it, but there’s just something raw and simple about playing it in standard. Thanks for listening
Lmao, that’s the damn truth that g string ride is no joke.

🤣🤣🤣
This is my favorite version exactly for that reason!
His voice got progressively more country and kicked ass
First standard tuning cover I've heard that captures the tune. Great vocals too!
Right?! He captured all of the accents from the original tuning. I’m going to study this cover for sure. Nicely done.
This is so impressive. I literally gave a second guitar set to goo goo dolls tuning so I can play this in open D. Didn’t even know it would be possible to play it in standard
@danielbriggs8020 I've seen a good cover of Iris in standard too.
Best cover I've ever heard of this song
Great, love to see the TAB for the standard Tuning. You also have a great Voice Drew !
I have tried to play this song but I can’t make it through without crying.
The words mean so much for so many people.
What a beautiful rendition.
Thank you
Beautiful passion in that song. Always enjoyed it. Love the country vibe. Good job man!
Damn, man. I’m gonna tell everyone your name. I’m only sorry I didn’t know it sooner. Incredible talent.
Means the world! Thank you.
absolutely KILLED THAT cover bro... Whoa... super impressive guitar work there...
Outstanding. Love the slightly countrified version. It's perfect. Playing and vocals are flawless. Love it.
Came for the guitar tips, stayed for the vocal... lovely Americana voice. Great match
Holy crap. My exact thoughts! And you threw in the 🇺🇸 💪
Right! It's iconic
This is excellent! Thanks for this!
Dude. This is insane! I've listened 6 times today. You're a badass...keep it up.
Same, in a row! This is an awesome cover! It’s like Goo Goo Doll meets Rascal Flatts 😊
Really spectacular cover of this song. You got inside the vocals and made them your own. Great song and you took it in a whole new place and I really hope the original artist appreciates it as much as I think we all do. 🎉

Good job buddy. God bless you
