John Mayer- "Man On The Side" (Acoustic Cover)

[kaimua]

simply great man, did you get the chords from ultimate guitar???

[jessemiles320]

@kaimua No. I don't tabs. I've been playing guitar since I was 5. Not to sound arrogant, but I have an unbelievably accurate ear for music. One thing that will help you when learning songs, or playing guitar in general, is to learn all your basic chords both bar and basic. Once you have those and you get familiar with them, listen to songs and first immediately identify the key the song is in. Now how we do this is simple. I use this method I made up a long time ago. Here is that method:

[jessemiles320]

@kaimua Let's use this song as an example. Play the actual song right now and have your guitar in your hands. Now, strum the A string open. Just the A string. Now do you see how it sounds like it's in sync with the song and sounds good, but it just does not fit? Well now try hitting the E string. See how it flows with everything? It harmonizes with every chord during the song. You can do this, or if you learn your minor and major scales, and since this is in a major key(you can tell by the feel)

[jessemiles320]

@kaimua Just go through your major scales of E A D G B C and F until you find the one that fits. Hope this makes sense. Rock on.

Very good ! !

[DauwXelfje]

Omy, I love you <3

[jessemiles320]

@DauwXelfje Love is an expression one will express when they feel a connection of extreme magnitude that suggests great dedication and commitment to the object or person whom they are projecting said 'expression' or 'love', to and reaches far beyond the limits of infatuation. Now, do you REALLY love me?...

[DauwXelfje]

[jessemiles320]

@Calaghi Taylor 315ce.. It's a jumbo.

[eidlawnairb]

@Calaghi interesting, i think the guitar is great but the voice seems like hes trying to hard with the voice to sound like a rocker.. and i think its hurting a little, interesting... then again im not great myself so i probably have no room to talk

[themanroyceman]

There are parts scatered throughout where you forget to 'try' and sound like John and you accedentaly let your own natural voice escape. That is when you sound the best :)

[vintagesound29]

Dude, all I can say is awesome. You and Mayer have very different voices, but you know what? It works. It works damn well.

5 stars.

[Hiero3Q8]
