Taylor - Jack Johnson Cover

[james1112able]

AWSOME

[joebailz98]

dude this is so fake its the exact way the original is played

[yousuckondekok]

@joebailz98 thats the point of a cover, isnt it?

[MrJufrow]

So you had to go for the pinky hammer too, eh? so jealous, I cannot pull that part off

[podemeaddnomsn]

you could sing hãm?

[leostan5]

wszystko dobrze by było gdyby nie wkręcanie ludzi że grasz zwrotkę sam a tak naprawdę w tle leci wyłącznie gitara artysty

[producedbykatie1]

great job I loved it!

[KiteTiedToAStake]

FAKE!

[MrJordyn2002]

BULL EFFING SHITTTTTT

[motokokusanagifan65]

This is excellent. ;) I honestly wish I could play this well. You have somehow inspired me to start playing my very best. :D YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Keep up the AWESOME work!!

[jma3234]

bullshit

[motokokusanagifan65]

@jma3234 don't hate because you can't play. ;)

[jma3234]

this is fake

[motokokusanagifan65]

@jma3234 don't hate just because you can't play it. ;)

[gnawy113]

very sure that it is Fake :) Not even Jack Johnson himself can make the exact same version Lol

[IFBMC]

@gnawy113 r u retarded its real u obviously dont play guitar

[gnawy113]

@IFBMC LMFAO ...

[jma3234]

@IFBMC u obviously dont play guitar his strum patterns do not match with the sound and there is no way that piece of shit yamaha sounds like that.

[Genmills]

@jma3234 Well, I do play the guitar and I did play this. I admit it's really crappily mixed, but you go back and forth between this and the original, you can clearly hear this has an extra guitar track over it... And I muted the original intro on the song, so the intro in this is actually me playing. Check out my newer stuff if you wanna see some actual good videos, though :)

[realityUPLIFT]

this is awesome! i love this song. and not just because my names taylor :P

but anyway great job!

[IslandOfSelbyLife]

quite sure that its fake

[OtherGuy9416]

@IslandOfSelbyLife i agree

[Groogns]

Looks really suspicious, but you can obviously play the song so.. =/

[zerodegree33]

wha are the chords after the intro

[Genmills]

@zerodegree33 It's been a LONG time since I've played this, but I think it's something like C, G/B, Am, F. The chorus is similar and goes C, G, Am, F I think. :)

[1xscotty1x]

@Genmills C, Cadd9, Aadd9, and F :) which is just C major and Aminor without your ring fingure :)

[1xscotty1x]

@zerodegree33 C major Cadd9 Aminor and F :)

[missamber32]

Amazinggggg :)

[Hikairoawetere]

you look like ben stiller lols

[aznfire5]

AMAZING 0:26-0:27

[treyd2k6]

how can 25 people dislike this?

[gnawy113]

hes good .. but to make 100% like the original is very hard if im not saying impossible !!

Nice acting and nice video :D

[planetEarth327]

dude you killed the intro hard... loved it

[poolax]

that intro was smooooothhh

[ShinyMan13]

i saw him play this live and thought of you haha cause i had just seen this vid

[sparklingpinkroses]

wow that is pretty good! so what exactly are you doing with your right hand during the intro when you aren't playing anything... like during 0:08?

[chukitNrun]

great playing bro!

[TMKTeije]

Lol the guitar sounds exactly the same! Good job man!

[monkeyface9633]

you can't even tell the diference! haha

[iLikeYoux333]

That was amazing, great job :) I hope I can be as good as you one day.

[c41x]

noob jajajajajajajaja

[kingcrimson28]

are you really playing during the verse xD

[guitarguy99199]

this is different than the way jack plays it on the verse but it sounds the same. this is really awesome though. make sure that the volume on the actual song isnt playing OVER your guitar playing. 5/5

[glossopcrue]

You are awsumm!!!!

[TaylorMan329]

when the words started going i thought it was you for a second haha, good job though man

[Grayduckling]

"e"? Isn't this in C?

[dogmullstudios]

so goood i subscribed

[cnashrun30]

whats your new one? and i got a 40 year old takamine. sounds great

[Genmills]

My new acoustic is a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe. Such an awesome guitar. :)

[mistakenunderworld]

haha.....ur cute and u play guitar...thats quite amazing!!!

[notheadboothe]

wow!

ur really good

[Evangelander]

Hey, great music, buddy. Like your style and presentation. HTanks for sharing your talent and passion for music!

[sox9191]

this is my favorite jack honson song <3

[StuffinMcMuffin]

What guitar is that

[Genmills]

It's a Yamaha I found in my grandparents' basement that is about 40 years old. It used to belong to my uncle I guess. I looked it up online and people have said that it actually has a really nice tone for how cheap it was, and that it gets better over time... I've always thought it sounds decent, but my new acoustic is still about 100 times better :)

[birdonwiree]

good work , your great :)

[timplaster]

Nice dude!

[GMcKev]

class!!!!!!!!

[phubness]

You are such a great player, it sounds amazing. Keep it up! xoxo

[BARranquillas]

Jo me encanta tu version tio

[bigair1433]

[Hennethelord]

uhm..just a question...can u read?

because if so, then read the description ;)

[Genmills]

What part of the song do you mean?

[moviecrewz]

Do you mind pm'ing me the Tab you've used? Thanks :D

[Rock4life33]

[soup1223]

[AIB1979]

Awesome!

Suspicious if your actually playing it or not... but only cause its dead on.

good job man.

[brendanxd]

i like cheese :o

great playing btw ;)

[RileyPlaceMusic]

not sure what guitar he is playing in this video but i know now he has a gibson songwriter deluxe

[axaxnxsxhx]

nice job man, how long you practice that before you nailed it like that mate? jus wonderin since i wanted to learn this song

ps. anyone know what kind of guitar he has?

[escade2]

finally someone who plays this song at the correct tempo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[victorux]

Cover something of John Mayer :D

[Ziece4]

You must have really good mixing skills to make it look like your the one playing the actual song. It's obvious your playing, but how do you make the volume of the guitar and the song match up with the video so well. I always make mine to loud or to quiet when I try to mix it. 5/5 like always!

[devzaqt]

: D Love jack Johnson keep playing your good

[txtfreak99]

pLUS UR FRIGGIN CUTE I THINK IM IN LOVE LOL JKJK

[txtfreak99]

HEY YOU ROCK DONT LISTEN TO WAT EVERY ONE ELSE SAYS just remmber you rock at PLAYING THE GUITAR

[Wonderwall1992]

dumbshit. it's not a cover

[smfdirty]

the song is so good, but pleaaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeee try it just by yourself.

But even so is good, cause you have courage to show it.

[BarclaysFAcup]

Dude its perfect.. nice job,

[mattguitarbaseball]

[MaxPayne113]

ABOUT 2,000 MILES FROM HERE

[horsesweet12]

haha taylor is my name i never knew about this song until now haha

[MatWright11]

what the fuck...Bro that's jack johnson's voice...not yours...You are a total complete douche. You make all these people think that is your voice. You need to put that your not singing.

[joshurawr666]

what are you on about ahahah his mouths not even moving.....

he cant even possibly try and pass this off as him singing if his mouths not moving ...

[laurenbaronof]

no shit asswipe.

it's a cover of the guitar part.

dumbshit.

[mattguitarbaseball]

your a fucking dick asshole!!!!

[misunderstoodmarshan]

ahahaa...your stupid

[alex48446]

check my video of that intro :)

[loverboy1525]

very nice sounding yamaha man. good one's are really hard to come by.

[kylereeves]

He's got a very good mic for recording...

Listen to the real song and then listen to this one. You can hear his playing differ in spots.

On that note, well done matching all of JJ's little picking styles as he does switch it up a lot throughout the song. I wish I could play this :(

[RAINZHOU09]

Hey, man, you played so nice.

good job

[GibsonShredder8993]

hey man, great intro!!!in fact, great cover!!!

[fudunger]

what brand/model guitar is that?

[moviecrewz]

Hey mate, Like I've asked before, can you please make a tutorial on that. There are other tutorials on the internet but they are all improvised, this one sounds like the real deal ;)

Please reply on me, thanks

[satellizer93]

the beginning killed me when i tried to play this song. almost crapped bricks!!!

[makaha187]

take the song out, it sounds good but also sounds like your faking it...sorry. if you take the song out then we will be able to tell

[Kelleigh0909]

wow. i love you.

-kelly

[LucLeMan]

Unbelievable! respect

[proudestmonkey89]

fake

[tank86barton13]

that sounds perfect!

[moviecrewz]

Dude, You rock! I wish I could play like that ;) Can you please make a tutorial on how to play that one?

Kind regards...

[123456789qwertyqaz]

he's playing but the sound we hear isn't his. its too clear, almost studio like. pretty smart way to get some subscriptions. guilty smile on the end.

anywhoo i could be wrong...

[Genmills]

I recorded it with an SM57 microphone and ran it through a small mixing board to adjust the sound. Even after that, I edited the sound a little more using computer software. It takes a while, but it is close to a nice studio recording :)

[123456789qwertyqaz]

Ok i apologise...i just didn't think youtubers went to that much effort. I was wrong. well done. BTY, what software did you use?

[Genmills]

It was a freeware program called Audacity.

[XVVVXXXVVVX]

Hey nice cover do you have the tabs?

[lolzords4]

Ohk jst doesn't look like it. Keep up the awsome covers!

[Genmills]

Haha, I know. I play the G chord with a different fingering to make the chord changes a little easier.

[lolzords4]

Nice cover! But i'm pretty sure the chorus is C, G, Am, F Give it a try n tell me what u think.

[Genmills]

Thanks! :) Those are the chords I'm playing on the chorus.

[adam8518]

Is not. The guitar jack plays is a nylon and he has a steel string.

[Genmills]

The guitar on the record is definitely a steel string. There's no mistaking the sound...

[leafsgal24]

You're not even playing that

[matthewhorne94]

no he is playing you can tell when he changes from the main rift to the one that starts with a c chord

[jclinardmu10]

turn off jack playing it then play it. all i can here is him so for all we know your not even playin

[AAGuitar123]

hes just very good thats why you cant hear the difference

[indialovesyou]

you are very good and extemely beautiful.

[AbbiMay93]

absolutely amazinn!!

and your cute toooo! :]

[sk8erfoos]

[WeBlameTheAliens]

thats absolutly amazing, i wish i could play like that >_>

[ayleenlivera]

man...you're amazing!!! hey hey, i want to play like u...wow!!!

Ayleen Livera

[kmarievane]

hey! you rock! do you memorize all the songs you play? or do you have music there with you?! there are so many things to comment you on! #1. you have great tallent! #2. youre super cute! and #3. everything that you play sounds GREAT! =] this one is my favorite though. and anyone who says youre not playing are just jealous cuz they cant play like that! hahaha

[Genmills]

Thank you! I do memorize all of the songs I play :)

[kmarievane]

thats awesome. i dont think i could ever do that. lol. i think its hard to memorize solo's for band at school. i play the alto sax. you are just sooooo amaizing! keep up the good work =]

[Ziece4]

It comes naturally if your playing the guitar or drums in a rock band, or jazz band. Idk how... you just end up memorizing it, you don't even study it, you just practice it and it stays in your head.

[BallPythonExpert17]

where did u learn 2 play this?

[headfirstxtaylorxx]

i like this.

my name is taylor, hahahahaha.

[ManFromTheNorthside]

cool man u mind me asking what program u used to cut out the start and just add in a backing track then after?

[Genmills]

When I recorded this song, I simply used Audacity to record my guitar and remove the beginning of the song. Audicity is free, so you can google it and find a link to download it :)

[beisb0l]

he has a yamaha i think

[fenderplayer489]

ur good. what brand of guitar is that?

[JonRontheLepricon]

well done, but do it without the actual song playing. show your real mad skillz, lol.

[Genmills]

Hehe, I knew most people would think that, that's why I played the intro with no backing :)

[gahgahcodah1]

OMG,

I try it,

I SUCK!

[belleyyjelleyy]
