I heard KT Tunstall's first big song "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" on the radio and thought, hmm that's kind of a good song! Why would they play it on this radio station. So I looked her up and Youtube had a video of her doing a looping schtick with that song and I was slightly impressed.

 

Then I heard the newer song "Suddenly I See" and it simply spoke to me as an incredibly well-crafted song with a great melody, a fantastic hook in the prechorus, and thorough and clear use of minor fourths and dominant sevenths chords. All this information made me think "Hey this is like a song I would write, except BETTER!" So I've listened to it a lot and really been upset that I didn't write it! This video is an acoustic show she did right here in Chicago for my favorite radio station at this awesome place called Schuba's.

You have to see those (I know, those aren't from YT, but still good examples!)

A great execution of Wonderful tonight / Clapton

I don't have his name, but his rendition of Yesterday is great

Jake - While my guitar gently weeps (yes, it's a ukelele, but let's pretend it's close enough to an electric guitar...)

 

Cheers!
