    I hope people realise when they watch this guys videos that they are professional musician level. Clements displays exceptional guitar skill along with pitch perfect angelic vocals in all his videos. I'd sell my shoes for a jam with him.

      I've been a hobbyist guitarist for decades and I have been watching his videos for about ten months. This guy is the real deal. I would give anything to play and sing like him. But in all seriousness I would be even happier if if someone would pull him.out of CZcams obscurity. I hope someone in the industry makes that happen. This guy deserves tons of acclaim.

      Oh yes, my church's coffeehouse - which gets some amazing acts - has booked him and his twin brother. They are part of the Lonely Heartstring Band, but they have just created a duo. If you want to catch him and his brother Charles (on double bass and harmony), here's a link to tonight's concert (Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022, at 7:30 EST):

    I think your voice is suited to “The way you look tonight” by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields. It is not an easy song on the guitar as written, nor easy to sing, but you can handle it. It’s marked Andantino in Eb (tough guitar key) and people used to play it as a swing piece. Most now seem to sing it much more slowly. The bridge changes to the flatted third, (Gb) which I find difficult. You might try the bridge in the regular third.
