Ricky, this was an excellent cover of Vernon's song! Loved the mix, the eBow on that old F-hole sounded great as did all the other instrumentation! Fine job!!
I personally probably need a health dose of “being afraid to post my own vocals sometimes” 😂 I post almost every song I write on tik tok and SoundCloud. And then post most to all streaming service. But often times it sucks. In my opinion. However, with you sir, you have no reason to worry. This sounded amazing! ✌️💚
Nah dude I need THAT energy, lol we'll meet in the middle. Honestly dude these were like 20 takes of 200 that were even remotely in key, I was definitely playing a numbers game hahaha
@@hazesessions4063 fair enough, I understand what that is like. But still? It’s good, great even! Doesn’t matter that it took more takes than what may be optimal. I’m struggling with that right now when trying to figure out how I can take my music and prep the songs for live shows. I want to perform but I suck at playing my own music. I gotta practice practice practice. 😂
@@hazesessions4063 goes to show that theres often a diamond in the rough, even tho at times it deeply buried. no matter how somethin sounds in the moment, holding the initial idea in mind just long enough to see it come thru is what it's about! great job.
the ebowed acoustics sound soooooo similar to the original recording, great job! not just on the performance, but the processing and mixing. It's really apparent that you took a lot of notes
Amazing, beautiful cover!!! I was wondering if you'll ever release a video telling you how you recorded it... I agree with the other comments on the fact that your cover is identical to the original song!
This was incredible, so accurate to the sound of that song, I love "For Emma, Forever Ago" and your channel has helped me a lot to write and record my own music
gorgeous ❤ killed it with the vocals too! hope u find the courage to sing more, i relate to that sm. those tremolo buzzing guitars are soo good too, ive always wondered how justin did them
Bro posted the original song and thought we wouldn't notice 💀 this is insanely good Ricky. Nice job. And I always wondered what that weird guitar part was! Thought it was probably an ebow but wasn't sure. You nailed it.
Had you released this song as your own in a parallel universe, you would have seen the success that Bon Iver did. Your voice works for the song, and that's all that counts. Don't be embarrassed about singing! I'm overly picky about voices, and I still think it was great.
It's always so interesting how nervous people get about sharing their voice like i am too i get it but I'm also like damn you sound like that tho why are you nervous 😂
You clearly have way too much hair for this to be an accurate cover. Lol. Kidding amazing job. Had no idea he was using an ebow on the acoustic, you nailed that.
It's actually scary how close this sounds to the original, you killed this. You should sing more often!
Thanks dude! I'll definitely try, Bon Iver is kind of a cheat code though with all those vocal layers are falsettos :)
this has been an extremely healthy reminder to listen to more bon iver
The bon bon heals all
So insanely beautiful and unbelievably accurate
Thanks man!
This is amazing, I cannot wait for the full video! Every part of this one is so well done and sounds almost identical to the original.
Thanks dude! Yeah took a while to get it right but I'm really happy with how it came out :)
Amazing! I think I'm going to listen to this more than the original
BRO that means so much thank you!
Ricky, this was an excellent cover of Vernon's song! Loved the mix, the eBow on that old F-hole sounded great as did all the other instrumentation! Fine job!!
Thanks TC! This one was terrifying to release with my own vocals lol
Just amzing. Sm57 witch archtop sound spot on. Wowow
Yessir! Two different SM57 positions on top of each other too in order to stack the takes together in mono

Dude. Nailed it! Well done!
THANKS BANDREWWW
Perfection.
Incredible performance Ricky, spot on and gorgeous
Thanks dude :)
wait this isn't the actual song? lol seriously though, awesome work. can't wait for the breakdown video
Hahaha honestly the amount of times I A/B'd them I would hope I got it KINDA close
the ebowed acoustics sound soooooo similar to the original recording, great job! not just on the performance, but the processing and mixing. It's really apparent that you took a lot of notes
Thanks Jordan!!! Yeah tons of referencing and a bit of insider information ;))
Amazing, beautiful cover!!! I was wondering if you'll ever release a video telling you how you recorded it... I agree with the other comments on the fact that your cover is identical to the original song!
holy shit! those vocals! this is insane progression from the background vocals on your garden song cover 😆
HAHA right, although I'm sure if I isolated any particular vocal it would give similar energy
@@hazesessions4063 in that case, I can’t wait to see the breakdown (I’m hoping that this is a forensic productions vid)!
genuinely incredible
This was incredible, so accurate to the sound of that song, I love "For Emma, Forever Ago" and your channel has helped me a lot to write and record my own music
So happy to hear Carlos!
this absolutely perfect! great job!
Thank you, appreciate it!
wow!!!🌀
Amazing! Sounds a lot like the original, it has that Bon Iver feel. Love it.
Thanks! Part of that may be the tuning, its slightly flat from standard tuning :)
This is incredible man! Love it!
Thank you my friend!
Jesus Christ this is insane! Great job dude!!! Need an ebow tutorial asap!
didnt realize bon iver was that cool, great vid as allways. also nice singing!!! lots of love
Thanks Pedro! Appreciate the love :)
Love that you captured the spirit of the song, but made it smoothed around some of the edges, making it even more listenable, great work.
Wow Joseph thank you! Glad it feels that way, tried SO hard to get the mix into a similar area :)
@@hazesessions4063 Mission accomplished, incredible work
Insanely good ❤
Thanks Chris!
Yeah this is fucking unreal, man. Wow. So hard to get even close to Justin’s sound but you’ve nailed the entire sonic world and mix here
E-beau tiful! 😊
Brilliant! 👏 👏
Thank you!
Holy cow 😮
these vocals are fantastic
Thanks man!
Insane work here, the song sounds identical. Great vocals! :))
Thanks David!
Nice vocals man! Didn’t know you could sing! 🎤 ❤ super talented
Hahaha I still can't, I can just sing falsetto with tons of layers to hide imperfections
Holy cow, you sound fantastic! Also nice work!
THANKS DOOOOD
Admit it, you are Bon Iver ... this sound so original :0
LOL I've been doing Justin's vocals in secret since I was 11 yes
As usual, crushed it man!
Appreciate it!
So good in so many ways. Nice job. Maybe it's the Brooklyn in me but I kinda liked the sirens right at the end.
hahaha yeah part of the vibe of the record was to led environmental noise bleed in, so I had to let the siren ride lol
God damn this is sick well done
Thanks Lilith!
gorgeous ❤ killed it with the vocals too! hope u find the courage to sing more, i relate to that sm.
those tremolo buzzing guitars are soo good too, ive always wondered how justin did them
Thanks my friend! Yeah the buzzing guitars are really all about slamming the e box into the string while its vibrating, thats about it
Beautiful man!
Thank you!
Wow nice
Bro posted the original song and thought we wouldn't notice 💀 this is insanely good Ricky. Nice job.
And I always wondered what that weird guitar part was! Thought it was probably an ebow but wasn't sure. You nailed it.
Thanks dooooood, yeah TONS AND TONS of ebows allllll over the track
Had you released this song as your own in a parallel universe, you would have seen the success that Bon Iver did. Your voice works for the song, and that's all that counts. Don't be embarrassed about singing! I'm overly picky about voices, and I still think it was great.
Thanks David! That means so much, these comments are honestly giving me a lot more confidence to try singing more!!
Even the haircut feels right
amazing
Thank you!
😵💫 soo good. I see them 57s !
Yessir, every instrument!
hermoso
You did it man, lump sum next??????????
It's always so interesting how nervous people get about sharing their voice like i am too i get it but I'm also like damn you sound like that tho why are you nervous 😂
Hahahah trust me these were the takes that ever even had a chance of being shared, there were some rough ones
This is too accurate to be honest
LOL, TH-cam flagged it as the real thing, which I'll wear as a badge of honor
Que grande bro 👏👏👏👏👏
Gracias my friend :)
Damn
I knew it was an ebow!!!
oh yeah tons of them all over the track!
was genuinely shocked seeing under 200 likes
Honestly this vid has performed way better already than I thought it would so I'm happy with where its at!
You clearly have way too much hair for this to be an accurate cover. Lol. Kidding amazing job. Had no idea he was using an ebow on the acoustic, you nailed that.
LOLLLL, give me 30 years I'll get there with practice and dedication, thanks man!
😍😍
Bravo. That is excellent. I don’t think did be able to distinguish from Bon Iver 🙏🏻
WOW that's insane thank you!
ive never seen someone use an e bow on an acoustic!
Yeah works pretty well!
are you playing a laser beam?
Basically haha! Its a magnet the makes the string resonate on its own
