  • i think this account is john mayers secret account ha! :P

  • Tocas de puta madre tío

  • just perfect.

  • Maybe you're John Mayer and you're not showing your face..

  • I like how you are headless in all of your videos. It makes you seem sort of mysterious. Don't show your Face!!!

  • don't stop..

  • That is excellent phrasing.

  • wow !!!!

    Amazing job, man !!

    Compliments indeed !!!

  • Nice cover ! This is the version that John was playing to the Berklee college :D

  • i wanna cry ! 

  • At 0:17 that is the slickest pick grab I've ever seen. sexy

  • your tone kills me

  • Wow, this is really good.

  • amazing skill, congrats mate

  • Nice

  • most of the song is not hard, it is just getting those damn bends in tune that is keeping me from perfecting it.

  • AWESOME! Are you the Jonh Mayer teacher?

  • sounds awesome man, you've got a good reach with that thumb!

  • this is probably john in disguise.

  • Very polished guitar playing.

  • does this amp have a similiar sound to the Fender Super Sonic 60 Combo? When I tried to lookthis up they advised me it. I love this twangy but oh-so warm sound!

  • Comment removed

  • I think you're John Mayer !

  • amazing amazing!!! I'll buy your record!!

  • OH MY WORD...i think i almost cried...i applaud you

  • I won't ask for tabs cause I know I wont be as good as you.

  • Amazing tone...

  • I bow to you sir, bravo.

  • How long have you played? Are you reading the chordes?

  • so this is the headless pilky27 that they're talking about

  • I can 99% guarantee that John Mayer is at least one of these 60,767 views!

    (I know that I'm at least 12 of them!)

  • dude this is amazing do u have tabs???

  • Hats off to you brada.....the man has got skills

  • awesome man!! did you teach yourself to play like that or did you have a teacher show you how to get that technique and style like Mayer?

  • hey i have the fender mustang iii can you please tell me which amp setting it is that you are using??

  • Shit bro I've seen John play it sloppier than this some nights. Great chops right there. Well... Back to the Strat for my date tonight. Keep up the good work buds.

  • Ok all you idiots, this is is not john mayer. Why would john mayer bother to play one of his OWN songs, and put it up on youtube in a format like this? The guy could do anything he wanted to!! So instead of saying this is mayer, why not give this guy, his own credit for a flawless rendition of a great song?? Besides, lol, john mayer has tattoos and larger arms.

  • @jcrosslin10 I would like to hear your playing. Not "bashing" you...I just figure that if you are good enough to point out his flaws that maybe I could learn a lot from watching you play too.

  • @37paull1 absolutely man. i have some videos of myself playing and singing with my old original band "8 days to amsterdam" here on youtube, but nothing that showcases my guitar playing. i will put some videos together and post some on here soon :D cheers

  • this guy has a super power! he can pull a pick out of his palm at anytime lol.

    0:16

  • you may love this song ( and the LA "i've got dreams" gig version) in a very strong way. that's brillant man

  • breathe*

  • hmmm... good sonic sound. good player. terrible pocket. before you guys start bashing me, i've played guitar all of my life. i breath this shit. this kid is good... but not as good as you all are making him out to be. this guy seriously needs to invest in a $15 korg metronome and about 5 yrs of dedicated work. THEN, he will be good like mayer. this kid just has skinny hands and a pricey strat ;)

  • Was just bout' to write the same as paull, im waiting for your next vid, looking forward to it!

  • ive been watching trough your videos, and god damn, im so impressed right now!

  • woah... where do you put your pick, when you're using your fingers?

  • Your not showing your face because it is indeed John Mayer haha i figured it out!!! Your to good to not be him!!!

  • Best cover ever ! Very very good playing !!! *_*

  • I want to marry your Fender.

  • fanatstic thanks, any chance of a tutorial ?

  • thank you for playing finger style (authentic)

  • First off could be one of johns brothers..second of All This is not John..thirdly This just shows What dna does..This guy seems to have The same build and handsize as John, which does help with songs of johns Nature

    - he is build to play The same way..and of cause he IS talented Ad well..but again HANDS are very unique and This dudes hands are like mayer replicas haha :D - great playing btw

  • seriously, my goal is to play like you... damn, you're good

  • How do you switch between picking and fingering? Where do you place your pick when you're fingering? In between your wedding and middle finger?

  • @clementkee1993 yes. your fingers have two joints, and you want the plectrum to sit between them. The trick is to keep the pick's orientation the same when you put it inbetween and take it back out, so you can do it fast and comfortably, with ease :). Look out for it in mayer videos, you can see the pick resting inbetween his fingers and see how he takes it out in changes, just watch closely!! :D

  • simply amazing

  • Wow great men

  • best cover ever done...

  • I just tried the first few seconds and I can't even get the the bend @ 0:14 right. My god I should just put my guitar away.

  • love it man! great job!

  • very nice men , !!!

  • have to agree, some of the best guitar playing i have ever seen, and i've seen a few :)

  • Now this, just makes me wanna learn it. Time stopping rendition there, absulute art!

  • hands down best youtube guitarist ive ever seen. if john mayer ever breaks his hand, i think this guy could fill in just fine. only person with this much feeling behind his guitar playing is...well. John himself lol

  • superb, well done

  • Shit, this guy's good!

  • dude this is john mayer. no joke i'm 100% sure

  • @yungandfat wheres his sleeve tattoo?

  • @KBinning he didn't always have a sleeve..in fact gravity was released as a single in 2007 and John got his tattoo in 2008..

  • @KBinning it's most likely not him but still could fool many

  • day in and day out i spend hours working my effect and tone pedals and amplifier settingstrying to find the sound that'll make my playing pop, and you calmly amaze everyone with your playing - with nothing but raw talent.

  • mad skills my man

  • AH this is like he played it a the berklee workshop. Very nice. Any chance you could tab this. I have trouble seeing his hands during the video. Great playing.

  • AH this is like he played it a the berklee workshop. Very nice.

  • best cover i ever herd..do a tutorial

  • genius

    

  • FANTASTICO!!!!

  • Amazing! any relative connection to John?

  • Very good playing like it.

    Beautiful strat too

    Keep up the good work.

  • this is beautiful man, i love those blues

  • non sò se smettere di suonare o.......applicarmi di più, comunque bravissimo e....irrangiungibile

  • impressive dude.. good job

  • This is great playing. The best cover of ""Gravity" on youtube I've heard.

  • still waiting for your cover of little wing...

  • excuse me sir, can u pls step out from ur sit n show me ur identity card....dont try to lie to me but i knw ure john mayer

  • THE.BEST.COVER.ON.YOUTUBE. Playing with so much feeling and you can only see his hands!!!!

  • Great execution.

  • Man, you are one of the best...just so clear and precise, but with a lot of soul.

  • for 21, this is such mature playing..

  • @GarysGuitarLessons What does "mature" playing mean?

  • @summitguy800 smooth, with dynamics and phrasing, comfortable, relaxed... like an old pro.

    Effortless, as if hes been doing it for years. The result, soul pours out. Its like the emotion of a full life coming out in every note, bend, phrase. you wouldn't expect someone so young to be able to play like that.

  • does it have abby pickps or just the cs 60s?

  • @pilky27

    would i be able to get the tabs from u if u have/made them please?

    keep up the great work :)

  • Sounds awesome man, keep up the good work.

  • If I asked my custom Ibanez to produce silky smooth tones like this it would jump up and smash me over the head until I was unconscious. I really want a Strat for those quiet mature moment in life. I’ve got my eye on a US strat in Olympic white and rose wood board, It’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen; Q’s where can I hide it and how can I explain a missing £1000 from my wife’s account? You’re a very good guitarist by the way, nice expression and tone!

  • great talent

  • this guy is john.....it s to perfect, and to close to john playing...

  • @ruizinhooliveira except he doesnt have the sleeve tattoo

  • berklee versions are by far my favorite too. theyre very original. great cover

  • totally awesome dude love it

  • man, in France they would say that your videos are "La crème de la crème" which everybody knows what means... delicious and smoothie! (hope that this word is good in english, which is not my native tongue)

  • These songs sound so much better without any kind of accompaniment.

    With the whole band it's a performance, saying 'here is our song, do you like it?', but with just a guitar it sounds like someone just playing and getting lost in the music. Hypnotic

  • ok,so tell me,if YOU are nobody,why the hell should i continue my guitar life pursuit?

  • wow. perfect.

    3:15 - 3:22 brilliant.

  • tabs man this is the greatest cover that ive ever seen here :)

  • beautiful job

  • That was immense!!

  • That caps you use?!?!

  • tutorial would be awesome =)

  • holy shit,4 real?

  • this guy is john mayer? john spots tattoos on his left arm right?

  • @wahlao81 right arm

  • this guy is john mayer? john spots tatoos on his left arm right?

  • is this john mayer? i dont think it is...lol some civilian, that can really play guitar

  • Flawless is the only word that comes to my mind m8

  • 5 people cant play like you

  • Been watching guys play on you tube for 2+ years now,and about a year ago I came across your videos and heard my wife say her one and only time-"who is that?", she just did it for the second time in over 2 years by saying "wow,that guys good". That says something about your playing.

  • haha....very good playing as usual mr mayer....very good cover of yourself, like it!

  • best gravity cover on youtube

  • Well done John! :)

  • seriously man. I am 23 been playing 11 years and ive searched youtube for years and really haven't seen many people hold my attention like you do.

    im learning your gravity version right now :)

  • TABS PLEASE

  • @MrMikeODonnell try ultimate guitarDOTcom

  • amazing

  • wow i love the way you transition from finger to pick - smoooooooth....

  • Man I really need a strat! Great playing.

  • little more reverb and itll be perfect..

  • dude how do you get your bends to sound lke that ???

  • Comment removed

  • wow i just cant believe how u change from pick to hand to change sound and volume....u r really good man O_O

  • I could listen to this over and over..

  • that are millions of guitar players on youtube, but there are just a few ones with that feeling! strat straight to amp, very nice playing! try to play slow dancing in a burning room and I'm Gonna Find Another You from John Mayer, they are very jazzy songs, I'm sure you'll succeed. cheers

  • brilliant solo

    

  • I'm million % sure you ARE JOHN MAYER... NO ONE in you tube could hit that note on 00:09 perfectly like you did plus the chord 100% spot on. And then you did the solo like you really own the song, its too good to be other than JM himself. And all the talking about tattoo on the right hand...well i'm pretty sure the tatto on the left hand was made recently, just check JM concert 'where the light is' and you'll notice that john at that time didn't have the tattoo

  • @profesionalfagosit89

    Where the Light Is was filmed in December of 2007.

    I believe he got his sleeve tattoo in 2008.

    And this video was uploaded in 2009.

    It's not John Mayer, but I wouldn't have trouble believing it was if he was wearing a sweatshirt or something.

    XD

  • beautiful.

  • could you tab this out?

  • amazing...

  • Your tone is flawless.

    I don't understand how five people could have possibly disliked this, unless they dislike Gravity or John Mayer in general...in which case they shouldn't even be watching this video in the first place.

    You are an inspiration to me.

    Thank you.

  • Very very nice man! I came across this video when I was doing a search for Fender's SuperSonic amp. I originally played the amp at a guitar center two years ago and fell in love with the amp, however being super picky I thought I would find something better. 2 years later I'm going to buy the same amp you are playing. This is the sound I've longed for. You made my decision that much easier! Sounds amazing! Nice job. What settings are you using on the amp?

  • Fippin' amazing. Standout job.

  • dude .. you have john mayer's soul !!

  • Comment removed

  • why does everyone think this is john? does anyone notice the lack of tattoos.....sorry guys, its just some other amazingly talented guitarist

  • @chilidog314 Pretty sure John wasn't born with tatts and also pretty sure he could play before he got them. Of course it may not be him but from the way he plays, theres also a damn good chance it could be. Agree with you on one thing though.....whoever this is, they sure do have amazing talent!

  • damm it :x so much feeling

    cheers

  • nice man...please don't be angry but I am going to do a cover of your cover..lol

    ..Thanks and great Job...

  • you can really see the hendrix influences in your playing, i like it!

  • @Nick0Campbell like you said, a lot of hendrix, and a lot of stevie ray vaughan as well... but then again those two guys really influenced john Mayer, who wrote this song... some brilliant people

  • Comment removed

  • Phenomenal sound coming from that guitar.

  • aw nice man.

  • AWESOME!!

  • Great song choice, nicely pulled off ! Thanks for posting it !

  • gorgeous tone!

  • you deserve more views man

  • Fuckin brilliant whoever you are bro!!!

  • I just had a 3 and a half minute long jam session... you just dont know it =)

  • blew my mind

  • this guy makes it look so easy.

    so easy in fact that im having a hard time trying to figure out what hes playing.

  • Damn.

  • This cant be John Mayer, cause he is tatted ALL over both arms

  • very nice! it's one thing to play the song the right way and then to play it with feeling...you did both!

  • nice feel bro.....

  • i like these chords a loy better than what i use can you do a tutorial or a close up video? thanks

  • i could listen to you for 10 days mate.

    thank you very much x

  • Bro you have the perfect tone. wtf.

  • you should cover slow dancing in a burning room

  • how do u do those really fast hammer ons? what are they called?

  • @breakinbridge10 Hammer ons and pulloffs...? They're done inside a blues scale, or pent. scale. Hendrix and John do them alot. Jimi had a great approach to embellishing chords- see the thumb-around chord? Great way to play the root, and have four fingers free to embellish. Look up Hendrix chord shapes and approach. If u like Jimi's playing style- or John's Hendrix-based approach- u'd really benefit from the lesson.

  • definatly the best cover i seen. You got the feel and the chops. well done

  • do riviera paradise - or not, you know, whatever floats ur boat.

  • sadly one of the few WELL done covers of Gravity on Youtube...

    i wish u'd made a tutorial.

    that would be probably most viewed video on YT.

  • Omg. Stop saying Shit.

    Just look at his arms :)

  • OMFG!!!!!!

  • sounds just like mayer! great stuff

  • You are so amazing!!! I wish I could play half as good as you!! Please do more covers!! Can you cover Who Did You Think I Was by John Mayer???

  • its solid gold.....please do more covers...

  • Oh, look. 5 people accidentally hit the dislike button.

    Thank goodness for the replay button. Next time, will you just keep playing? I wish you would just keep playing the song for longer than it's actually supposed to go...so I don't have to keep pushing the blasted/glorious replay button...

  • how did you record this? mic'ed the amp? which mic?
