This cover of this song is my comfort jam. I don't think I would have gotten through last year without it. Thank you so much for bringing me joy in a dark time of my life!

Hey Isabella, I've been trying to find a contact detail for you to say thank you. This is perhaps the most meaningful and touching thing I've heard in response to this video/cover. Thank you very much. Wherever you are I hope you are okay and I am overwhelmed to hear that I've made an impact on your life through my guitar playing. Thank you 🎵

Man this sounds so good. It feels like an island breeze.

Hey, I REALLY appreciate that. I've been a big fan of the police for years and at music, the college had to learn The Police's the police synchronicity album top to bottom. Message was the first song I heard by them and really wanted to do this cover justice. Thanks!

Hey there Benjamin, its Isaac. I just thought I would point out that I think you would get even closer if you used the neck pickup and play the Aadd9 and the Badd9 on the E string like he did on the recording.

Hey there! I really appreciate this advice. That's a small change to make but definitely important if that time of the power register is how he plays it. I think at the time of making this, I was aiming for the clearest sound possible for the mix. Thank you very much!

Hey Benjamin, or Ben if you dont mind. Anyway lol, I have been told that Andy himself was in the middle position, out of phase, and his preamp on all the way off but there us a significant boost. I also do realize that your tele isnt modified like his except the humbucker for the neck so the middle position is the closest you can get sadly. So, I just thought id educate you a little more haha.
