Stewert Woods Tull covers Currie my brain

I am amazed, He is singing and playing These Songs so purely and clearly without imitating Ian Anderson ...

Jethro Tull - that means the highest musical level, which "Minstrel In The Gallery" made its unmistakable mark in 1975. "Baker Street Muse" is one of the most complex and eclectic long works of rock that I know. Incredibly brilliant how you implemented this work here totally unplugged and thus paid tribute to one of the best rock bands of all time in an absolutely impressive way! Greetings from Germany!

Great work.. this is my favorite jethro till’s song..

This is the only live version of this song that I know of.

From someone who has been playing guitar for almost 50 years, and has been a Tull fanatic for longer than that - this is brilliant.

Wow Stewart, you just made my Day perfect with your superb Version of Ian Anderson' s masterpiece Baker St. Muse!!! You realy touched me. Thank you

I love playing and singing all the shorter acoustic Tull Stuff (Wond'ring Aloud, Mother Goose, etc), but I can't imagine I could remember all those chord changes and fills, while singing along to it. Bravo to you, my friend, for being about to do it live, in one take. Utmost respect.

Great job there, very difficult piece to master, well done

I have been an absolute Jethro Tull fan for over 50 years - When I came across your site, I was immediately enthusiastic - I have heard all Tull pieces a hundred times. Your interpretations are simply ingeniously close to the original. Instrumentally and vocally absolutely brilliant. Sorry for my "Google English" Peter - Old Man from Germany

Great. My favorite Tull song.

One of my favorite Jethro Tull songs and you cover it phenomenally Stuart.

This is a master piece of a cover, man. Congratulations. ¿Have you considered the idea of making some tutorials of these songs? Starting with this one, please. Thanks a lot.

Thanks. I've never heard this played by anyone but Tull. It is a favorite and a very complex song. I guess that's why nobody has tried it before.

WOW. Covering the entire Baker St. Muse song. All 16+ minutes. What a feat !!!! And beautiful guitar work too. WOW again. GREAT JOB Stewart.

That was incredible! I can only imagine the time that went into reenacting that unheralded masterpiece from Jethro Tull. I quite liked it your way-completely acoustic. I always loved the acoustic aspects of the Tull original - but found the electric chords to be a little harsh; like they got in the way of an amazing song, instead of adding to it. So I welcomed your completely acoustic, solo version. Very well done, and very much appreciated.

You are the minstrel in the gallery. Brillant, epic, awesome !!! I really hope that somnole will make Ian Anderson know about your marcevelous rendering of his songs, this one being probably the most difficult. And to me one of the three best JT songs ever. Chapeau bas, as we say in French.

Incredible cover!! perfect!!

fucking awesome earmeal dude brilliant , probably only us Tull fans would get , rock on you do them proud

this song is moving, exceptional performance! Thanks! goose bumps

Great touch reproducing the beginning - except that it’s three “shits”, not 2. :-) Well done. Given the length and movement of this song, I can imagine it took quite a while to get it down.

Awesome! Thank you from New York City!

i love this your performance, i can't stop to listening , very impressive the fedelity at original

I am absolutely blown away. Amazing job. Thanks for sharing this!

I never get tired of your rendition of this song. Amazing!

Listening to your version is just like listening to the record. There's nothing that i miss, because the other instruments (incl. the Glockenspiel) are in my head. :-) Great cover. Chapeau.

Let me just say this. It is such a darn joy to have you in our Tull world. What a marvelous player you are.

Awesome! The song is like an entire set! Subscribed, you may not have intended it but you are now my new guitar teacher when it comes to Tull.

You had me at that note-perfect opening (including the “flub”)! There hasn’t yet been one of your interpretations I haven’t completely enjoyed!

Hi Stewart. Just discovered your channel today. I'm a massive Tull fan and also play guitar. That was one brilliant performance and i look forward to catching up with all your vids. Hopefully will pick up some tips along the way. You should be very proud of yourself. I'm sure Ian would approve. Thank you from all the Tull fans everywhere.

much love, Stewart. what an inspiration

Stewart, that was so damn okay!!! I play a little guitar and have learned a few Tull songs, but I can't imagine even beginning to attempt that masterpiece. Coincidentally, I've been revisiting the Minstrel in the Gallery album and that song in particular and saw your amazing performance! Thank you for taking the time to learn it and share it with us! Love your Dun Ringill too!

Was listening to this vinyl last night. I remembered this channel and wondered if you did a cover version. Indeed! And beautiful as usual! Dedicate separate lesson videos, please🙏

Incredible, he was encouraged !!!, This video is for all JT fans a treasure, now I ask you to do Apassion Play !!!

Amazing. The voice, the guitar and the tiny arrangements make this single-instrument cover sound complete. For a long time, I've wanted to make a version of this song, and I never expected anyone to upload a complete cover of it. This video is very inspiring, and this playlist is a blessing - I will definitely come back to it for years to come.

Fantastic! I can't believe you played the whole thing! This was wonderful! Truly one of Ian Anderson's greatest compositions, and you absolutely did it justice! Also I'm so impressed you're able to play all of this with no mistakes that I could notice (except the intentional one in the beginning). Bravo!

An epic performance! Loved every minute of this.

Wow, this is very impressive! I have no idea how you managed to learn that! 😆

Acabo de ver y oír la tremenda y laboriosa versión del Baker St Muse felicidades Stewart , es una de mis favoritas la he oído cientos de veces especialmente en dias lluviosos es muy acogedora , gracias amigo no tiene precio, ☀️♥️☀️

Superb rendition of one of jethro tull's poem.I loved it.Thanks for making my day

Simply brilliant, Stewart. Thanks for lifting our spirits during these dark days.

Splendid. I must say that your work comes as something of a revelation. Not only do I sit amazed at your skill and artistry, I now hear and appreciate the source material with greater depth and dimension after many decades. Thank you.

Freaking wow! That was epic!

Superb rendering. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Wonderful.

Dude, I just came home from a hard shift... This has filled my heart with good things, don't even know where to start! I was actually listening to Minstrell (my favourite album) and strumming along, and when it came to this song I went on youtube to see if anyone had made any covers lately... obviously, you came up. I've been trying for years to do a cover of this whole piece, but it never comes out quite right. Well, quite like this, tbh... You've nailed it perfectly, Ian would love it I'm sure =) I was aiming for something like this. Amazing guitar skills, simple and smooth, very fluid and great feeling, very well sung. Brilliant! Well done, mate.

oh my GOD, dude. WELL DONE!!

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!

You are the most talented dude I've ever seen!!! I love this song so much, really glad I found this video!

Amazing guitar work!! That opening riff sounds like a tricky guitar lick to play. Even your first take sounds incredibly cool to me. Good for you for restarting and making it perfect. Amazing song!

Bravo Stewart! Just when I think I've learned all the Tull songs I need for my repertoire...You just slayed that notion. I put together a medley about 12 years ago: "Skating Away", Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" and was quite pleased with myself. Recently I learned "Mother Goose" and just now got "Salamander" almost ready to share. I mention this because I understand the dedication and love for the music that is required to learn and do justice to this fine music. Seriously. Hats off to you! I haven't even started filming and uploading my own renditions of these yet, as I've been focused on my own music. But you have inspired me to start putting these out on the Tube. Thank you for that. I first saw Jethro Tull live in 1976 or '77 and it absolutely changed my perception of music - and my life.

I love how ian throws the blue note around in this piece so judiciously. So effective. Such a melody. At 16 minutes its a hard boat to row but it is what it has to be.

Magistrale esecuzione! Fantastic...

Respect total to FRANCE

Listening to this makes me happy and changes my mood to ❤ I've also shared this on all of my Tull pages ❤❤❤

Did I hear you actually say 'I hope that was ok'?? OMG that was masterfully done. You capture every nuance of the music and lyrical/vocal cadence. Your ear is beyond impressive. BSM is an opus! You nailed it!!

This is my favorite. He does this so well. I love it so much

What a gift! Thank you!

Excellent! I can't believe you learned the whole thing!This is one of my favorite Tull songs. My dad is the biggest Tull Fan that there is. I was rocked to sleep as a baby to everything Tull. My favorite albums are Minstrel In the Gallery, A, Songs From The Wood, and of course Heavy Horses. Nightcap is really good too. I mean their all good, lol. Martin Barre is literally the most underrated guitar player in history. I'm sure he gets more appreciation in Europe, in the states he's virtually unknown.

That was epic Stuart. Uncanny...I listened to this album last night whilst preparing dinner. I don’t play it a lot as the rest of the house is allergic to some of the atonal discordant passages. Being the masterpiece that it is, I was wondering if you’d attempt this song and discarded the notion, thinking it too long when delivering daily interpretations. And yet here we are. Superb. So impressive.

I'm sorry I'm three years too late to love this. Excellent.

Brilliant! I was expecting just the opening tune, not the whole song. Was surprised and gratified that this was so clean and on target. Really appreciated the nuanced picking throughout. Thanks again for a great song!

I love it! Specially the fact that is your own version, your own voice, not an imitation. Congrats!

The take two was great 😂. I never seen this song played live. This is amazing. This is some of the best acoustic guitar work from Tull. Who plays the acoustic guitar in this song Anderson or Barre? Sounds like Anderson's style but I am not sure...But this is an amazing cover. I used to always play this song on my Spanish guitar but I can't play the beginning nearly as good as this gent

This is great!!! May b my favorite song ever. I learned most of this song but your version of the intro puts mine to shame. Thanks 4 sharing.

This is close to my favorite Tull song, and even Jethro Tull doesn't cover it! As far as I know they have never played it live. Thanks! What an incredibly hard song to play, especially as a solo. OUTSTANDING!!! you even did the silly intro and outro!

Thank You,Thank you ,THANK YOU!!!!!

Wow I'm impressed, this is absolutely incredible!

Bravo!!! Speech! 😲😂🥰

This is just epic! I think I like this acoustic version better than the electrified one. Although I do appreciate the energy Martin B. lends to the proceedings on record, I can listen to the beautiful changes more clearly here. Beautifully played, magnificent mastery of a great Ian Anderson composition. My appreciation of "Baker Street Muse" is now increased several-fold as I listen deep into this one.

Well Played Ma Man : ) Ma favorite Tull Song :) All the best from Scotland :)

watching this for the umptieth time in hopes I would one day pick up my guitar and magically play the whole thing in one go... love this channel...

This is absolutely amazing. I assume this is a very difficult song to perform, but you did it wonderfully. You seem to have a great amount of knowledge of odd and rare information on Tull . I was thinking maybe you could explain why they never performed this live, at least I don't think they ever did. I've seen them 44 times in concert, and I don't recall them ever playing this live. I think it would have been awesome if they had. If you have any information on that, I'd love to hear it thanks for all your covers of these great songs. No one does them better than you.

FREEKIN Bravo !!! Wow you are magnificent bro,from humorous intro to the hilarious ending and all aspects( folkloric,abstract time shifts,symphonic overlays,biographal bridge or shall I say bridges) in between. What a insanely spot on acoustic version of a 10 instrument song ,just wonderful friend,I am from Arizona ,Tucson to be specific ,and probably a small tiny percentage of Tull fans who actually listen to obscure Jethro songs with intense normally,in other words ,every year this magical music ( in my opinion ) gets more and more , unfortunately,lost in time ,but you made this Tucsonean very happy indeed! Thank you for taking the time and effort to perform ,and learn these gems ,I find that people who really hold these rarities sacred are not out of touch with modern music,but more of a special ,special breed of listeners ,whom are chosen to enjoy vintage Tull ,otherwise everyone would ,at that like many ,don't get me wrong,awesome classic rock songs,make them what one might call " sellout " or commercialized! Plus it's to intricate and requires a high IQ to get into such wickedly fantastic masterpieces !!

I'm in awe in front of such greatness... thanks dude

Minstrel in the Gallery is by far my fav. Your playing and singing on such a difficult piece of music is impressive! Thanks

Great job! not at all an easy song to play alone

A song Jethro Tull never performed live!

Nice work Stu!!

Outstanding!!!!..tricky song but u nailed it!!!

That is a delightfully arranged and played song!

Thank you for the meticulous adaptation of this rare masterpiece. The only thing missing was the string quartet. Maybe next time :)

So glad I discovered this channel! Acoustic Tull galore! Hours of great entertainment! Thank you!🙏

Wow. Your JT covers are masterpieces on their own. Greetings from Poland :)

Simply brilliant! Amazing really.

Man, you are too cool! Thank you for this! Maybe now I can figure some of it out. Cheers!

👌 Tully

This is simply amazing. Thank you.

Tremendous! Extremely impressed

Very smooth and highly enjoyable. Thx.

Bravo. Thank you for this, and the daily dose of Tull. Really great stuff.

You are so amazing

If you didn't do the "take 2" thingie I would of been greatly disappointed....BUT....then on take 2 you should of did a few bars of "Whole lotta love" and then did a shit, shit, shit - take 3 just to mess with us! 😂😂😂 As always excellent job Stewart!

You sir are awesome ! Wish I could jam with you.

Wow! I've been consistently impressed, but this one took the cake.

Wonderful ❤!!!

Wow fair play Stewart, nailed it, super impressive. Keep em coming.

Well done, pure genius, thank you!!

10:10 section is simply interesting arrangement and it makes me wonder the genius the feel,, Ian Anderson mixed major and minor so expertly love to work on this tune,, it;s like a story like reading a good fret board ..haha ty mr.Stewart Wood

Great rendition brother. I love that you left in Take 1. 🤣

Nice
