john butler ocean

[rerun0812xc]

what string gauge are you using?

[jorisb22]

i thought it was john himself, until i read the desciption.

brilliant

[TheDive99]

who the fuck disliked this?!?

[TheWebcamcomedy]

the thing is when john plays it. the song almot becomes like a person you instantly fall in lovewith the ocean that swells in your thoate as the good and bad times crash in and out of both your lives like waves of shared erosion on beaches. and in the end its over instantly.

[deadleaf2010]

his version is awesome , but if he continue to play Butler's song without making his own he'll never be better than John Butler

[TamboraMusik]

who won?

[Debranches]

Man , Génial ta covers , on sent qu'il y a des années de pratiques de guitares derrière toi ;-)

par contre une question me trotte dans la tête , quel est ton accordage ??

merci et bonne continuation :-)

Enjoy

[burlot2]

@Debranches

Do sol do sol do mi! comme John quoi...amuse toi bien avec cet accordage!

[LoganWolfMusic]

This is easily the most legit, cleanest cover on Youtube. Fantastic work.

[tanreid]

beautiful. Fuckin well done mate

[Toumec]

T'es super, mec.

Bravo, là je dis bravo!

[beelzebozos]

How the bejebus did this not win?? lol unreal

[AlexP012]

c bien tu la joue a ta facon , continue a la travailler tu pourras en faire tienne .

[karrodde]

[judkinney]

Right on!

[choumzi]

Toujours aussi agréable à écouter :)

[Jubbyzilla]

really nice playing bro

[Richgoddamnit]

Sounds like the rhytm changes constantly.

[broxs]

[indasky75]

On dirait Cédric Le Calvez pour ceux qui connaissent... ^^

[minard]

TOP !

[turpinian]

this is way better then the comp winners' version

[burlot2]

thanks! ;)

[turpinian]

no problem bro...keep it coming

[coonie1]

I agree...AND they used 2 guitars! CHEATERS!! lol :P jk..they were still good.

[SiameseRobert]

agree

[jacobbobcorn]

wow.

[pengam2006]

ultimate respect.... what an awesome cover such an amazing tune. Sweet.

[yocheeki]

Well done; great cover.

[szorba100]

For me the best version of this song, except Butlers own one....

[FreeRider14]

Couldn't have said it any better

[murr456]

How did this not WIN!!!!

[Oups41]

J'adore cette chanson :)

Très belle reprise!

(rien à voir, tu as quitté Monroe???)

[burlot2]

oui enfin....j' ai été viré de Monroe par un petit chef auto proclamé! C' est la vie.....:)

[Oups41]

Ah merde.. désolé pour toi :S

[samadriftwood]

hell yeah thats john butler-like *thumpsup* from austria

[dylophosaurus]

very incredibly done

[TransAmFormulaV8]

And wait one sec, there is a competition for ocean? Could i enter? And how? I mean this rocks hardcore but since i have seen this i could just do a better one and integrate some of this. Its simple enough. So whats the dealio?

[Unbreakablejack]

this competition is closed....and the winner is a duo!

[Saggamawuat]

where can i watch it on youtube? :)

[TransAmFormulaV8]

Dude way to go, you really rock. At first i was like, "this mother fuckers thinks he can do this song, lets see." And then you started to rock it dude and then do the backing beat too and i was sold i waz all, "Holy shit i am trying that move!" Mad props child. Bloody f-ing amazing mate!

[scottdcarnie]

how do you have your amp set? cheers

[jbraptor22]

thx ;)

[jbraptor22]

What's the tunes please to play Ocean?

[zanedude3]

the tuning is CGCGCE, open C tuning

[spazzomctashford]

jawern , = bell end , what a cock , jbt have never played the same version of ocean more than once , anywhere , ever this guy has taken the time an effort to make this version his own by leaving his personal mark! piss off and you put one up if your king shit!

[ftroyser]

Jesus man,nit-picking much? the guy deserves huge credit for mastering this,the whole point and beauty of 'ocean' is that he never plays it the exact same way twice anyway,get over it man and dont be so negative

[Jawern]

I don't mean to be a jackass and I haven't heard the exact version this is a cover of, however the sense of tempo in this piece seems lost from roughly 8.49-11.00 or so - some places there's 1/8 too much, other places the tempo seems basically halved compared to the rest.

No doubt it's hard work and you're clearly extremely skilled playing such a difficult piece, but the wholeness of the piece is disturbed by those flaws.

As I said though, I don't know if it's intentional...

[joshDRUMM]

fuckin sick

[bluesvalerio]

OMG ôO

Wonderful :D

[lebowzki]

you did such justice to the song

well done

[choumzi]

Je lai reecoute maintes et maintes fois sur mon mp3, et ya pas a chier, cest vraiment une putain de cover.. Non seulement les part que tas rajoutees sont vraiment terribles, mais jai vraiment limpression que tu y met ton emotion aussi.. c'est tellement de bonheur a ecouter, j'aurais envie que tu le fasse durer encore plus lgtps! En tout cas chapeau, et merci de nous offrir ca :)

[OzBooger]

amazing

[XkillthemusicX]

thrown some andy mckee in there too?

[twkm05]

Andy has his own style. Ya cant say john copied him in anyway. Remember, johns bn around much longer

[twkm05]

Oops, wrong video. Thought u were dissin the original. My bad!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah this is the best cover ever but ya still cant say he copied andy. He didnt invent guitar tappin like.

[WATCHTHESTEW4me]

in the version john did on his solo live album, he does guitar tapping. this is the version that this guys covering. and johns is by far the best version recorded.

[loiko59]

whaou quel belle reprise d'un morceau tout simplement magnifique !!!!

c'est EXCELLENT !!!!

[mybrowser]

This is awesome! Best cover of this fantastic song in YouTube (: Love it.

[therockingviking]

the best ocean cover yet i've heard on youtube.

[monkeyguitarist]

Salut Bastien. C'était génial.

Je ppeux te demander combien de temps à peut près ça t'a pris pour jouer OCEAN comme ça ?

[burlot2]

ça va paraitre un peu pretentieux mais j' ai appris ce morceau en 3 jours....mais la guitare en 15 ans!

[colton2402]

beautiful job man, it was outstanding

[isthatafact111]

i love the percussion parts XD

JB puts so much soul into his works and you threw yours in this by adding your parts.

this is a pretty awesome cover, man

[twkm05]

Fuckin unbelievable man. Could have nothin but respect for sum1 who could do that. fantastic!!!!!!! Super.

[54spiritedwill54]

Just amazing ! =). the sound is fantastic

[maximus50238]

I couldn't figure out the tuning so i figured out parts of it on regular tuning.

[OMGPWNINTEHFACE]

Wouldnt this be open C? In that case its CGCGCE.

[maximus50238]

o... thanks. I'll try to relearn it.

[maximus50238]

I RELEARNED IT AND IT SOUNDS 10 TIMES BETTER! thanks. that meant a lot. I might post a video of me playing it.

[OMGPWNINTEHFACE]

No worries :>.

[underwaterboy89]

Great job man this is totally amazing.

[mmxcrono]

BEST COVER EVER! and you mixed in your parts too

[jimmydee85]

Absolutely breathtaking mate. Great job!

[Erkoil]

wow wow wow...

J'ai poils qui s'hérissent comme sur la version de Bulter. Les 2 dernières minutes sont toutes aussi infernales !

Moi je serais près à me payer une 12 cordes rien que pour bosser cette chanson pendant 10ans en espérant la jouer correctement après.

D'ailleurs t'as pas répondu à d'autres, c'est quoi comme guitare exactement ?

[Nirvana6727]

dude, i rarely post on videos, but thats the best cover of Ocean i have ever seen. phenominal job.

[jopppe1]

nice one :)

[brianqD42]

Have to agree with one of the previous comments Best cover I've seen.

[FilthySICness13]

Rad. 5/5

[Heivind]

you even removed the 4th string like butler does :) nice

[sixdaysnow]

John butler would be proud.

[Tschulii]

..i'm just without words...

best cover i'v ever seen..

[SidoneyX]

I want a 12 string guitar xD

[JMaddogg93]

this is unreal, your an amazing guitar player.

[beauceron]

Best cover of this tune on YouTube. Incredibly well done.

[yuvraj2123]

that was awesome!

[bozetheone]

T'es terrible. C'est vraiment une belle interprétation, continue comme ça.

[flatronl1950h]

Pressed "Poor" by mistake. Sorry.

[azimuth457]

you wouldn't happen to have any tabs would you?

even partial tabs i can work with.

would be greatly appreciated

i loved this by the way.

[LoboZeppelin]

you just did it mate! absolutely fantastic!!!

[PulseOfTheMaggots145]

thats so good! well done. Is that a yamaha fg 420 12 ? Would love to no if it is if you could email me thrue youtube?

thanx

[stigweard88]

It looks very much like a Seagull S6 Coastline 12 string.

[stigweard88]

It looks very much like the Seagull S6 Coastline or Maritime 12 String. By the lighting it looks more like the coastline, but the coastline has its own electronics.

[dreamon14]

absolutely amazing bro! holy shnikees!

[that1guy777]

that was great.. and don't worry about what everyone says about not having enough emotion. John has his style and you have yours.

[sagenhoney]

Awesome! You play very well, and although you may not show the emotion in gesture...you certainly show it with your playing - others try to rush it, but you took the patience. :)

[VincetheApollo]

the sound is fantastic but just a little tip (not that i could do any better) play with more emotion. but anyway you played it amazingly

[Otremin]

Just amazing ! =). Can you send me your version please? I prefer it to the original

[BaicalHunter]

fantastic. great performence. stunning.

[herehaveapie]

fucking awesome man i think youll win the comp

[jonrune85]

:) are you telling me that my version is great, when u definitely have the best version, and the most chances to win this competition. GL, and ofcourse - I would gladly share the #1 place with you;P

[Mofrance]

this is the best cover of ocean on youtube.. fucking amazing, cool style.. keep playing, i will hear more..

[MyNameIsTherese]

Vraiment impressionnant... Ta reprise est excellente.

[bluedevils694]

[IamDeNeT]

[globule711]

[amoruah]

NICE SEAGULL!

[thekid65]

out-fucking-standing job.

[dualeddy]

Did you win?

[Jive51]

Salut Bastien. Bravissimo! Extraordinaire démonstration de ce qu'il est possible de faire avec une guitare quand on est doué... En plus, tu as réussi une véritable performance sur une musique aussi célèbre, pour en faire quelque chose de nouveau, sans pour autant la rendre méconnaissable.

Chapeau bas, l'artiste!

[robbyrush41]

awesome...

[razorramon33]

absolutely wonderful cover man

[ppmonroe]

yo c'est rigolo!!!

[watamon666]

[shp0ngle]

you have talent.

[msummers10]

Nice VAIO.

Awesome performance.

[madogi]

I will admit this is a Good Version of Ocean - by John Butler but John Butler's is better in all Context Cause it came from john's Heart im not Dissing this one because it also came from your heart but Johns will allways be better cause he's the original Artist and his is about Love and Peace and its all about john so as i said John's Will allways be better but keep up the good work man

[aviolentbirth]

kill yourself.

[davetidman]

Shut it Madogi! He's not said this version is better, he's just a guy doing an awesome cover of an awesome song. Less of the negativity and why the hell dont you try and do this.... I'd bet my right testicle you couldn't! Great job Burlot, keep it up. Dave

[bingo113]

Why dont people ever read the description of the video? This has been recorded to enter the competition to have a half hour 1 on 1 lesson with John. You need to start reading stuff before you make stupid comments. IMO this should win, best cover ive seen so far! :)

[TheLowCut]

Wow, really good... imagine the one who actually plays it that good and invented it... John Butler Trio... just genious... keep up the good job.

[Ballmeyer]

awesome

[skuddabloke]

wow

[neet0n]

you play this song in a uniqe way.. really beutiful :)

[csybu]

[parkt6792]

must say, thats it right there, one of my favorite songs and you sail it. i'm planning on visiting france in january, do you speak english? check out my vids, - i play guitar too, maybe we can get together and jam and you can show me the sights - what part of france? ciao -tom

[BrooklynNoir87]

[RichardPerso]

dude that was just awesome, u definately have god given talent and u sure know how 2 use it.

Would u b so kind as 2 tell me where 2 get the correct tabs 4 that song coz I really want 2 learn how 2 play it.

Cheerz.

Yours Richard

[hAteDbyYoU]

ahahaa you retard face mother fucker fish smelling fagot breath liz lover

[burlot2]

didn't understand a word...but thanks!

[owiowi1989]

en gros il a dit que t'avais une sale tête et que tu lui fesais penser à une pédale etc... enfin bref rien de trés élaboré dans la reflexions, tu peux classer ce commentaire dans la rubrique des jaloux attardés qui ont les doigts en plastique :)

Sinon bravo à to, c'est bien une seagull?

[Bissen]

Beautiful... Simply

[Macistounet]

Enfin quelqu'un qui ne fait pas qu'imiter mais qui s'approprie une chanson, sa fait vraiment plaisir de t'entendre. L'âme de la chanson y est même si l'interprétation est différente.

Question matos, t'utilise quoi comme micro de rosace?
