Billy Jean - Gareth Pearson

[MrSpinny27]

ppssshhh... You have absolutely no skills at the acoustic guitar... HAHAHAHa...

[yoettore]

SIMPATICISSIMO LUI!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO

[SulixD]

Awesome ! simply awesome , love michael jackson's music , and love guitar solos like this one , and gareth really looks like he enjoys doing his thing !

[TheReilly8]

not really his arrangement just a slight variation of adam raffertys version but still an awsome player

[MJFanatic96]

jesus fuck why this is so hard to understand the title of the song is BILLIE JEAN.

[johnpheth]

with those moves he is the MJ of fingerstyle guitar!! Excellent work The Welsh Tornado!!

[DafTacoustics]

austin, tx...come haha

[Nemecys]

3.30 probably the sweetest thing ive ever heard on an acoustic guitar at speed.....

[angeloslab]

this is amazing

[angeloslab]

this is amazing!!!!

[MrFunkyblues]

spot on taff!!! keep em comming..

[flaskeballe]

The lick between 3:29 - 3:35 ... WOW! Some nasty and sexy shit!!!!

[TheSchnizer]

Hope he starts up a US tour soon. After watching this and listening to his music, I want to see him live and would be willing to drive a few hours to do so.

[missybeng]

Gareth you get better by the day......;o)

[bohmaniac]

Holy crap

[massimilianocona]

you are fantastic Max

[Orangebud131]

Il say it again though, fanastic cover and he is a fantastic player.

[xto135]

Great to know you think yourself as a decent player, pretty humble. Like most people who "think" they are decent players, they always have to end some sort of praise with a remark of some kind. Whether I'll lick his balls or have a stick up my arse, you will always be a twat. Once a twat, always a twat.

[xto135]

@Orangebud131 As you cannot play as good as him, I suppose you would look just like a twat on stage, just like your comments. As for the line he has crossed, just enjoy the performance. Looks like he loves playing and smiles a lot. so going to see him live will not be your thing.

[douzestrings]

@Orangebud131 I don't think Tommy plays Billie Jean, Thriller, Time to Pretend, Family Guy etc etc etc live. If he does, I have never seen it. Also, I have never seen Tommy moonwalk :-)

[douzestrings]

@Orangebud131 I have never seen Tommy kicking the air? Smirking? Do you mean smiling? I think he is enjoying playing and I would rther see a artis enjoying himself than be grumpy on stage. As for wiggling his hips, I think he's copying Tom Jones as I think Gareth is Welsh.......unless Tommy is copying Tom Jones and Elvis. I still have not seen any footage of Tommy moonwalking or dancing.

[JackPowPow]

at 3:30 GOD

[dhr506]

wow!



[meccaollielord]

Smug cunt.

[avery000]

@meccaollielord he's just havin fun with it. theres no way to place this song with a straight face. jus gotta get into, and feel that groove man.

[GNSstudios]

He keeps building on hsi version everytime, awesome!

[YoruTaro]

Hahahahaha god damn, he was having soo much fun up there.  Too good.

[mrchucknorris]

so sick

[ekd4594]

Haha, he's so cute, dancing along to it :P

Love all of his covers, they're so amazing!

[deurotelle]

OMG



[pmnc33]

The only «true» original first fingerpicking version of Billie Jean.

And the best one, ever. Beware of copies!

[Otahell999]

he's good entertainer, usually guys with these skills and similar style just sit on a chair and keeps playing without even moving anything other than their arms and fingers. great!

[snarfergarfer]

wow, beautiful!

[FarhanHossain]

Such a passive crowd at the beginning

[XRogerMellieX]

Great guitarist, but even better, a great performer.

Will have my eye out for this fella!

[ChelceeDMusic]

He is fantastic! I'd dance to this! :)

[TheGuitaristLory]

Grande Gareth! puretroppo me lo sono perso, però a Novembre ho incontrato Joe Robinson a Roma! ;)

se suonassero insieme non sarebbe male! :)

[QuelTwiste]

Reminds me of Tommy Emmanuel.

[rapidfire21]

On a Maton, of course.

[froglicking]

just watched antonio forciene and hie version doesnt compare to this,wow gareth!!!

[RadoTBC]

does anybody knows the tuning of his guitar?

[twigletism]

he makes it look so easy... it gets better every time i watch it.. <3

[MichaelJosephBhada]

I love how no one effing claps for this guy.. he deserves better :(

[franksportz]

Very Nice job Gareth a performance Michael would have been proud of (thats Hedges not Jackson). Step aside Andy and Antoine I think I found myself a new guitar hero.

[conceptracr]

This guy is incredible!

[HGlRob]

I like the style and the rythm part...

Picking style reminds me pretty much of Tommy Emmanuel, who's just an amazing artist.

Keep on maybe you'll get the next Mr. Green thumb ;)

[bareto1]

Man you are awesome!!!

[abiezer777]

Can someone the name of his shoes? I really want one!

[MarcEllison75]

Love it

[steelawake923]

I was waiting for him to actually do the moonwalk...LOLz! That'd be the only thing that could make this vid even more AWESOME! Great job! :D

[jpzzzz]

@steelawake923 3:45 buddy

[KidaReborn]

@steelawake923 Moonwalk...he does it at 3:45 lol

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

copy cat of tommy emmanuel with the guitar... why cant people play with there own instrament

[Duif2]

@TheDudeFrom0Z So because Tommy plays guitar really well, no-one should try? People are inspired by other guitar players, so your comment makes no sense.

Well done Gareth!

[fspoxee]

yeep

[flebas]

does anyone know the tuning for this song?

qualcuno sa in che accordatura suona?

[ripefigs]

awesome!

[alguitarex]

i heard this guy live, he's awesome!

[jusxanovaxgurl]

Wow! This is awesome!

[gbling55]

This pretty sick but if you like this check out Antonio Forcione's version (under billy jean) I think that just pips this!

[Mareedratt]

His version doesn't even compare...Gareth is way smoother, more full, and has less missed notes. Forcione's sounds like he's struggling to hit all the notes. Gareth's got him by a mile!

[phlr332]

The best Billie Jean Arrangement out there, and whats more, he's really having fun and enjoyment playing it..........and so is the audience. Synco, eat your heart out.i

[Pkw101]

lick at 3.30 = SSSSICK!

Love it

[phlr332]

his version just gets better and better.

Nothing compares to this,

[MrLuciano69]

... davvero incredibile! Un portento!

[MrCoroton]

grandissimo gareth pensare che ha solo 21 anni chissà dove potrà arrivare....

stupendo

[lucabez]

This guy is a "bomb"!.... too strong!!...

this first Italian concert in Florence has been a great pleasure!!....

luca

[csncsn00]
