@TheNinjaButts it makes a sorta clicking sound which can be used as a Hi-Hat. to get a snare drum kind of sound, you can either flick your fingers near the end of the guitar at the bottom, like I think he does, or hit the guitar with your hand next to the fret board meets the guitar. that makes a kinda snare drum kinda sound. just play around with different hits and stuff anywhere on your guitar and see what sounds you can come up with.
@TheNinjaButts the percussive sound is achieved by simply hitting the guitar at different places to get each different drum type. if you hit the strings with the right hand near the sound hole (which I think he does) that makes a kick drum sort of sound. I tend to hit the bridge/saddle of the guitar, whatever you want to call it to make the kick drum sound, so you can still comfortably play the guitar at the same time. to get a Hi-Hat sound, if you hit the low E string onto the bottom fret...
@Quezalji I basically learnt various sections to the max sessions video, and then using the federation square video as extra inspiration, I wrote various new parts over a few months until I was happy with the structure. It tends to change everytime I perform it, its just a really nice tuning to jam around in. Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment :)
@samfitzpatrick good deal. I'm hoping to learn it, which is how I came across your vid! I'd be really interested to see another video but of you focusing close up on the guitar to get the picking/fingering down?? Is that possible? (since tabs for this would be ridiculous) Either way, best rendition of Ocean i've come across yet!

Mate, that was like sex to the ears! Ive been trying to learn this and it is a beast! That was immence. Makes me want to come to keele. Nice to have abit of bitish tallent :D x
Hell of a job dude. I literally just made a youtube account for the sole purpose of commenting on this. Ya can't beat JB but who can, did a good job putting your own sound to it
Oh @Samfitzpatrick, I meen no disrespect, this is really really good, I am trying to learn this and it is definatley better than anything i will ever be able to do but I meen, cmon Its john butler, There is no beating him at his own game
@xFishJrx NO IT IS NOT, This is a great piece but it isn't better than JB's best Performance of it, its better than the original album piece but no it's not better than Jb @ Rothbury or max sessions or fed square
I like how you made it your own. As a former resident of Fremantle, Western Australia (where JB came from), I approve, and I think the man himself would too. :)
I'm thinking a least a threesome after the show
