You Don’t Know How It Feels #1

Guitar: C-. This is an easy song but this guy isn’t much of a guitarist. I am not even convinced the chords are right during the chorus. It is passing, though.

Singing: B. So if you look for Tom Petty covers on youtube you will find that most of them are either very country-sounding, or else very soft soulful pop versions. Apparently John Mayer has a cover of “Free Fallin’” and this seems to have influenced all the guitarists on youtube to turn Tom Petty songs into soft-rock ballads. This particular version is in that vein, but not a bad example. Soulful and soft, but it’s tolerable.

Extras: I like the amateur-ness of this one, and I like the dude’s hat. Otherwise not much.

Overall: C. I am not having much luck in the search for good Tom Petty covers.
