@@alexcorona It's just like taking a photo with a camera, there is post processing done, automatically, just from the camera alone producing the photo. But we don't point out that every photo we see is edited unless it's over-edited... There is no over editing of this song to the point he's hiding what his voice sounds like. He's not lip syncing or anything. I think that is the obvious point being made here.

There’s always that one guy posting this generic comment on videos like this.

The phrase three chords and the truth continues to ring true

It has a Fuel (Shimmer) feel to it.

Goosebumps….every time I hear this song but this version….wow. So glad KZread decided to throw this in my feed eventually

Holy crap, I didn't know you could feel all warm and fuzzy and have the chills at the same time from listening to a song quite like that. What an amazing performance

Indeed three chords are enough but only when you're good enough. What a feeling, what an amazing performance.

Aw man "hope you dug it" like there's anyone who isn't completely blown away anytime Corey Taylor let's this absolute heartwrencher rip.

This made my day. He seems like he is in a good place. One of my favorite songs ever. Great performance!

Love his acoustic version of this. His new album is great.

I’m a truck driver and always listen to Kerrang radio while driving. When this song pops up, I feel like I will be going off the rails.

Simple lyrics, but getting the timing right when singing and playing the guitar part has taken me two days to get right lol

It's absolutely the range of the melody and how it's used over those three chords that makes this such a fantastic song.

The simplest songs are always the most beautiful.

What a powerful voice!

I agree

I've been playing guitar for a while now. I have always tried to play this song but could never quite get the tone right. Come to find out, it's in E flat open tuning, so...after tuning down a bit, I hit the first chord and had my "AHA" moment. Played it flawlessly after that. I enjoyed this video because I felt like I got to play along with CMFT while he sang. Pretty sweet!

Yea it's why Corey is saying "essentially" 3 chords and saying how it changes in parts. There's C5, D5, and E5 power chords as well. The riff is "essentially" just plucking single strings from those power chords. Way I'll play it is cadd9 to DMajor then E minor I find gets closest to what Corey plays acoustic for the chorus. Tuning to the guitar down a half step ain't a bad idea either. The power chords occasionally have some palm muting and chucking between playing the chords and the strum pattern changes up a bit throughout the song which keeps to those 3 chords moving so much they don't sound boring. There's a version of Corey doing acoustic (his most popular KZread video of Through Glass acoustic) he's on some time random radio show and I was trying to get it even closer to what I was hearing on that but you then really need a looper or other people playing with you because there's little harmonics going on and little scale patterns intertwined with the rhythm playing.

Respect!

Yeah man. That was good ! Thx brother.

Awesome! I got to try it I have a Yamaha hummingbird acoustic! Definitely one of my favorite songs and rock artist!

I listened to this song everyday my first deployment.. such a great one.

I love you Corey 🥰🥰🥰

Slick playing for a singer🤘🏻

What always baffles me is that this is the same guy from the self titled and Iowa albums. When bother came out I absolutely couldn't believe it.

Love that guitar so much I got an acoustic and electric acoustic
