3:27 is like a drug for me, I became addicted to that solo man, so simple but powerful at the same time... just perfect

If you ever want to try something cool listen to the original Savior by rise against with headphones and only put on/in the right ear. The first 20 seconds are just him singing without the music. It feels like hes just singing for you. I found it pretty awesome :)

My favourite youtuber uploading a cover of my favourite song. That made my whole month.

Man if I ever start playing guitar it will be due to this guy's influence. Dude's a legend.

[alexanderkarl]

Absolute classic. At least for me growing up, this song definitely kicks up a wave of nostalgia.

[JensJulius]

Sounds great man!! Crazy high note at 03:29!🤘

I remember seeing your cover 5 years ago and I absolutely fell in love with your play style. I remember watching it over and over again while I went through scales and warm ups as inspiration to keep practicing. It’s really cool to see how your style has the same vigor it did before, but how it has also matured. There were definitely times in the second play through where you choose not to play a flashy solo and instead allowed your playing to collaborate with the music as a whole, which in turn showcased the music and its nuances very well. I absolutely loved the first cover but as a musician, I appreciate the second one a lot more and I think you should be really proud of it. You took an awesome song and found the balance between making it your own and not losing the original character of the song, which is super cool to see.

3:25 I'm just getting goose bumps all over my body everytime I'm listening to this section of the cover. So phenomenal!

Hi Cole. I think I finally understand what you meant by adding to the musical experience. I heard this concept a bit differently in an interview of Charlie McCoy, a harmonica player from Nashville. He said that new players have to understand that less is more, and narrated a story from his recording past. The soundman would especially turn his volume down when he played his solos, because they didnt add to the experience. McCoy said that I ll play less, but when I play, its gonna be so damn good that it will add to the song. I feel that you have embodied the same idea with this version. Adding melodic sounding part was a welcome addition, as well as those high notes. This song made me subscribe to you 4 years earlier, and today I am very happy that I did!

I literally just felt my actual SOUL.

GOOD FUCKING JOB!!

[gregstephenson]

Amazing. Loved everything about it. Fantastic.

[vDiiStorTiioN]

That solo had me speechless 🤣🤣😱😱😱 great job dude 🤟🔥🔥

[alexiskowitz]

Amazing cover of one of my favorite songs. Well done, Cole!! The improvisations you inserted give me goosebumps in the best way

[DJ_Typhlosion]

The fact that he can get so close to sounding like the actual guitar track is absurd.

[crypticsteel]

Ngl pretty happy I forgot about this song, cause your cover made me fall in love with it all over again. Props dude.

[connorhasnochill]

Bring back the guitar remixes my man 🙌 that shit was my jam. Like your earlier remix of Savior, by far one of the best videos on your channel. Keep up the good work homie!

[nejchumar]

3:27 literally earned a sub brother that shit was legendary - words cant explain the power behind that string bend

[theyjustcallmemc]

Cool lick at 1:54, gonna always play it that way now 😁

[nzim]

Those improvised solos are fucking epic dude. Doesn’t take away from it but adds to it immensely. New subscriber for sure.
