Default Vincent - Don McLean Cover. One of my absolute favorites!

Hey guys.

Just uploaded my very first youtube video, which is really exciting!



Hope you guys like it. If you didn't, please let me know why! I do it for the feedback!


Regards,

Marc



Edit:

Just wanted to leave a link to my next video here.. A cover of Neil Young's Heart of Gold https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...76#post5796876

Yeah, can't get the youtube thingy to work, but I put the regular link up instead for now. Thanks for your interest, though!

EDIT: Working now! Didn't realize it only wanted a tiny part of the link. All good now though!

Very well done - I could feel the passion you had for this song, great guitar work & the vocals spot on. I'm so looking forward to hearing more from you.

Genuine talent.

Great job Marc & congratulations on your first video - many more to come.

Mike

Hey Marc,
I don't know how old you are but you remind me so much of my grandson Lucas who is 17. You two could pass for brothers, seriously! I can't tell from the video but are you a ginger? Lucas is. He too, is playing and getting better but I can't him get to sing, at least not in front of anyone but me. He does some really nice things with Ed Sheeran's stuff. Maybe if I show him your video he will get his courage up. I will show him.

In the meantime, you did a very, very nice job on this song and made it your own with your style of vocals. The thing you do here that is so important in singing is conveying the emotion. At your age, that is the exception not the rule. You have been given some talent playing and singing.
I would encourage you to keep at it and don't ever forget to have fun and be true to yourself. Good work dude!

You just renewed my faith in your generation... Keep it up! You are Danish? I take it English is not your first language? Very well done. American Pie is one one my all time favorite albums.

I like it. Well done. Like the guitar, too.

I find myself wanting to sing this in the same key as McLean. I like the fact you deviated from that norm.
