That guitar sounds a lot better than that Ovation you were using.

What is it? You can't see the headstock in this video, haha.

[jmeuw]

Yeah I know right? I told my mom I wanted the exact opposite sound from the ovation. I really really love the new guitar. Its an Epiphone

[s09jshaffer]

I thought it looked like a Gibson or Epiphone, but I couldn't be positive without seeing the headstock.

It sounds lovely. :)

[jmeuw]

[thesuburbanrebel]

[thesuburbanrebel]

Its great.

And as for guitar names hmm, depends what you're looking for how about:

Zimmerman,

Rocky

Amp

Yeah, those are pretty lame.

Happy Belated Birtday. How old are you now?

[jmeuw]

haha. im 20 as of 2 days ago, i feel so damn old. Im looking for a girl name for her, I dont know if rocky fits haha!!

[thesuburbanrebel]

Haha is the arthritis setting in yet?

Yeah a girl name might be more suitable, but I was playing with a talking rocky doll while I typed it. He says five different voices AND punches. FUN!

As for names how about yoko ono?

or UFO.

[jmeuw]

haha i just read this comment now! so funny haha

[jmeuw]

very much so! thankyou!

[martinatherese]

once again. really really incredible.

loved the guitar, voice, and lyrics.

[jmeuw]

thankyou! im glad you enjoyed it.

[jasmineflower67]

omg i missed it i'm sorry! but happy happy birthday! :) this song made me really happy, i really needed it today.

[jmeuw]

no worries :) Im glad my music could do something like that!

[JustAnAmateurForNow]

Love it bro!

[jmeuw]

thankyou :)

[Kristopher1129]

New guitar sounds good man. Nice new tune as well. Good work!

[argydaf]

Happy birthday...!Really good song!I like it.

[jmeuw]

thankyou, thankyou :)

[jmeuw]

yeah, its weird Ive always had an acoustic electric so I could plug it into my computer. Now i have a straight acoustic and I had to do a whole bunch of audio editing so the gutiar didnt overpower everything.

[Fullyloadedvalentine]

Sounds amazing as usual. You ever think about doing a crappy one? People might get a little bored of hearing you crank out amazing tune after amazing tune =)

New guitar sounds great, song sounds great. Great day for a birthday!

Happy Birthday!

[jmeuw]

Haha, yeah right. There are quite a few videos that are crappy up here. But Im glad you enjoyed this one, because it has alot of meaning to me.

Im trying to grow up with my music, so hoepfully you like whats to come.

[jrfarrer]

Happy Birthday!

Thank you very much for your music. It's truly a treat to listen to, and I look forward to more here on youtube and some downloadable tracks in the future (for my portable device)?

Btw, the bit of the guitar at the end of this sounds similar (but not exactly) to the beginning of Mayer's "No Such Thing." Check it out, you'll see the resemblance. Not a terrible artist to subconsciously mimic.

[jmeuw]

Thankyou :) its a treat for me to put up music as long as people write stuff like that! thankyou.

Ill try and get all my songs on an audio site or something, its just a pain to do all this uploading :P

And yeah I love that song, it has a very similar strum pattern to what I play in the intro and the end, your right.

[JEEEZ123]

love the lyrics! and they're very relatable.

ok, so i like either Kayne or Micah as boy names for your guitar. for a girl...Cadence. and that's ok if you hate them, because you need to name it based on what you feel fits it perfectly.

and how's it feel being 20? a little in-between? i'll be 20 in 2 months, and i know it'll be weird...

[jmeuw]

Thankyou!

I dig cadence alot...but Im not going to pick a name for her just yet -- im going to look for some other good ones still out there.

It feels weird, I can't legally do anything fun and im seriously not a kid anymore...its depressing lol

[hanoooRAWR]

can't wait to hear you on the radio :)

happy birthday!

[jmeuw]

that will be the day haha! thankyou!

[emstergirlrox]

Ok, I love these lyrics! Very nicely done :)

[jmeuw]

thankyou! im glad!

[48Meg48]

Happy Birthday Jason! How old are you? I love it.

[jmeuw]

haha 20 as of today :)

[48Meg48]

Haha, nice. 20 sounds so old. I'll be 20 in Nov.

[jmeuw]

i know isnt this bogus?? when did this whole growing up thing happen. and why did it include me?? haha

[48Meg48]

Haha, exactly! Did you do anything fun?

[jmeuw]

had a nice little shin dig at my apartment, it was a good end to a not so great day

[48Meg48]

Aw, well I'm glad it ended well!
