Hi guys, I'm new here so what best to introduce myself than a good old cover. here's my latest one: I want you back from the Jackson Five. An chill-out acoustic cover of this amazing song. Hope you'll like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7fU93r3L84

That track is one of the great r&b pop songs of all time. Everything abiut it is top notch I think you did a good job with this making it your own. In fact, if you didn't say it was a cover, a lot of people might have not known.
I hear a lot of covers these days, and they are just like this, completely different. Are you lip syncing that? Cause the reverb doesn't seem to match the video settings. But I enjoyed, not easy to do this.

Hi Trent,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. And yes, i recorded the song before and the vocal part of the video is lipsync (not the guitar). It's easier if you want to have a cleaner sound.
Cheers

I think you help illustrate how an A+ song can transcend time, genre, style and any other factor and still shine brilliantly. In a way your stripped down version shows just how perfectly crafted the song is. Excellent job in choosing and interpreting your own spin on a classic Mike!

Hi Brian, Thanks a lot That's exactly what i think. When a song has been perfectly written, you can basically turn it into any genre. And obviously I Want You Back is one of those. It's one of the best song of the 60s/70s! Cheers
