Did you check the sympatico website? Full link is in the About section of this video, or you can google 'john mayer tab'.

[feelitrock]

Great feelin' pal!

[ungnome1]

Beautifully done, VERY nice.

[bandcancelled]

this is really good!:! you are really a good guitar player and singer, you should make some own music

[Bobdude7]

Hell ya!

[timinator8833]

Nice....

[Danklin24]

Great job but watch your tempo on the slaps

[noeleflowers]

this is totally awesome:)

[slug182]

yeah best STT cover at youtube!

[iixlateralusxii]

your vocals compensated for what you lacked in guitar - solid

[eksflash]

Best version I've heard yet on the tube. Good job!

[mastamitchell]

sounds like your in a different tuning. still is a great cover though.

[joonhwex]

half step lower. im guessing he lowered it cause of the bridge. its killer haha.

[twispious]

wow

[DoggyDwkj]

nice job.hey do u mind sending me the tabs?

[MerrildH]

Dear God! Read the description! .. Argh..

[alabasterhyme]

definitely the best cover I've seen so far. bravo!

(and man. that slap is killer. my fingers aren't coordinated enough.)

[chsdrumcorps]

wow, you sound much like john mayer!

5 stars!

[musicmanmoby]

Pretty neat guitar work + vocals. the foot tapping could have been toned down a bit, though.

[t4k45h1]

i was actually using the pick & flick technique that noah needleman demonstrated in his video tutorial. thanks!

[strawberrysaber]

great job takashi!!!! (I'm guessing thats your name, correct me if I'm wrong)

[1337Prophet]

everybody has freakin Takamine guitars! XD

[ItsCall911]

I'm a guitarist who has recently been inspired to add vocals to my playing.

And you are some one I can look up to because you play the songs I want to learn.

[lambgtr7]

me too!

[kylexy333]

i dont know why anyone would give anything but 5 stars to this video for three reasons.

1. its one of the most difficult songs to play so i think just knowing how to play it on the guitar deserves 5 stars!

2. you have a really nice voice that goes well with the song

3. this is the most beautiful song ever and any video with stop this train in the title should get 5 stars lol =]

great job dude!

[horribleteal]

one of the better stop this train covers on you tube, nice job

[thnbgr]

awesome dude!

guitar was pro, voice was awesome

[justaguy4321]

great cover. kudos, man

[Tbot117]

I can't seem to get the slap technique down, any advice?

[t4k45h1]

you should check out Noah Needlemen's, Stop This Train/Heart of Life Video Tutorial. His youtube username is knowa626. that's how i learned it.

[Tbot117]

Yea I did, I'm still haveing some trouble. I think I'm just trying to rush the learning process, and just need to practice it more haha.

[theguitartheif]

@t4k45h1 yeah great video, also tappying our foot while playing on the strong beats can get you used to the timing for when to slap.

[butternut86]

i could be wrong. But the tabs u showed us. during the verses it seems like ur doing something different then what the tabs show. intro the same, and the chorus is too. What are u doin exactly, because I have no problem with the intro or the chorus, its only the verses that im iffy with.

[t4k45h1]

i usually use the tabs on that sympatico website as a start, then change or add my own things in there. i'll send the tab to you soon. check your inbox.

[butternut86]

thanks man

[wellitsyou]

Hey Man, Thanks for doing these.talent is a hard thing to come across and you have it. i hope good things happen for ya dude.

[dfhxfghdgh]

hey really good job both signing plus guitar... you ahve a great voice plus are very talented with the guitar!!! good job slowing it down at some parts... keep doing what youre doing!!!

[scotchy91]

the bridge is hard for me too, i understand how that is.. i've been playing roughly maybe 1 year and a half to about two years..and im trying to get the whole sing and play part down..but certain parts of his songs are high and hard to sing.but still hes my favorite.

[romancasco]

2 questions: do you have the guitar tuned half step down? and in the verse section, the notes sound slightly different, i think, if so where could i get that arrangement? marvalous guitar playing and singing!! 5 stars all the way man

[t4k45h1]

yes, i play this a half step down... that bridge part is killer on my vocals. i kind of use the tabs on the sympatico website as a base, and add things to it in my arrangement, so you probably won't find it anywhere online. i'll tab it out and send it you later.

[inwarddeathgrowl]

You're god!

[syddann]

i cant get over you.

you are A

MAZING.

how long have you been playing?

[t4k45h1]

been playing about 3 years now. thanks!

[syddann]

this is like, my dream song to learn to play.

plus the fact that mr.mayer is a god:]

[razorgawl4]

he's slapping the string with his thumb

[bepbep]

who's tapping??? hehehe NICE ONE!!

[namdlefhtes]

You are awesome. I can't say much more than that.

[ddeia]

You're great!! I'm your fan! \o/

[lotsofbeans]

1:41 you cut it out and added a different scene in there GG

[emileye]

woah! awesome!

you've got the voice and the guitar set - seriously you're the whole package.

bravo!

[romancasco]

man that was amazing! where did you find the tabs for it? i've bbeen looking for accurate tabs on this songs? cant seem to find it :( p.s. love the guitar!! :)

[theexpatriate]

I'm very impressed with the singing in combination with accurate guitar playing in all of your John Mayer covers. As a guitarist, I can appreciate how tricky many of his songs can be, particularly in presentation. Good job man, you deserve the praise for these.

[tanneman1]

wow, sounds very good!!

[BrandonColon]

this is good dude

[freligcb]

nice job, man, both guitar and singing
