Busking Bonnie Rait

Here is a rendition of I Can't Make You Love Me. I posted this tune up in response to Tony's request that I play something soft and mellow. This was originally composed for piano so I tried to put together a finger style version that I could sing along with for guitar. Let me know what you think and what would help move it along.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs, Bud. It's an extremely difficult song to pull off, so I greatly admire your ambition. Really fine job.

I thought it moved along quite nicely. I thought your finger style version worked really well. And I agree with what Dennis said...."Really fine job".

Buddy,

I listened to this this morning and it stayed with me for ages.

This simple treatment is really moving. Nice emotion.

That was certainly different and more mellow than what we are used to from you Buddy. I couldn't fault anything and you sang every word like you meant it, with lots of emotion. It doesn't get any better than that. I really enjoyed your interpretation for guitar. :) Bravo!

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Bud sorry I took a bit to get to this.

Really super job. My wife asked who I was listening to and was surprised when I told her it wasn't a recording artist.

Thanks for listening to my suggestion. I think it worked very well indeed.

I liked your version of this, Buddy. Would love to see a lesson on this song. Not sure it's on the recommend a lesson list.
