  • this was dead on. graham, you're amazing man. glad to know people that have such diverse musical tastes/inspirations can really appreciate john mayer.

  • close your mouth :d

  • well done man!  you're getting that mayer finger pick style soloing DOWN!!!

  • Haha this guy looks baked

  • Dude! I love your cover!

    Where can I get the tap for this version?

  • is that the shoreline gold john mayer strat? :O

  • he's brad whitford son, not kidding!!!

  • the thing at 0:17 .. til 0:21 .. that litle sound.. what exactly do you do there? cuz i cant figure it out =[ is it.. mute 2 strings and hit the other 1 sliding down or something?

    please react

  • ok playing but i really enjoy the face LOL good times open mouth rock on face

  • needs more reverb...

  • dude, how'd u do da rake thingy?

  • You're super talented, and what I love most is that you have guitar hair to accentuate the intensity of your skill.

  • dudeee this was niceee

  • nice job! the only thing i didnt like was the tone, a little too twangy for my taste but thats just me. 5/5 !

  • John Mayer- Assassin Music Video Now Up On Youtube!

  • Nice cover! I will definatley vote for you! I wish i could be at crossroads...but i live far away. Im posting some videos soon...please check them out!

  • close ur fukin mouth

  • That kicked ass! I Love the Two Rock Amp John Mayer video too! :)

  • nice playing man, the tone could be a little better maybe like some overdrive like the smallest amount and turn down the tone knob on the guitar a little you'll get that real deep sound he does

  • 1:15...best part

  • Haha :D

  • oops...i ment :15

  • But the other comment was hillarius! :D

  • you got the skills!!

    Now comes the fun part, tonehunting! idk what amp are you using but it doesnt sound correctly, id also add reverb

  • nice strat

  • nice playin but the sound really sucks, sorry.

  • nice

  • try a 65 twin reverb

  • fkin awesome, dude. mind doin a tutorial?

  • nick jonasss!

  • good job but roll down some tone on your guitar to make it more warm...

  • very nice...try adding a little bit of reverb to give it that stage sound...

  • Dude, that was awesome! Keep up the guitar playing :)

  • damn, that was good. nice work man.

  • hes good...watch some of his other vids. but john mayer is john mayer, in all sense of the word hes genius. the shit he thinks up is ridiculous. did you know hes slightly autistic?

  • ok come on guys, hes good but now THAT good. I can also play this riff like in the video, but im not ever ever ever gonna be close to the talent of john. Nice Playing but definatly not the next john mayer

  • I'll show you! You just wait!! ;)

  • haha honestly i hope you do, how old are you anyway?

  • 18. This really is just a cover I did over a year ago, you should check out some of my newer videos, like the King of the Blues video.

  • wow that was impressive, makes sense now that i know your name! So how far did you make it in that competition? Oh and are you a big john mayer fan?

  • @checkoutthisblues The thing is, there ain´t ever gonna be another John, just like there never gonna be another BB, or clapton or anyone else that´s similarly gifted. I've watched some of your other videos, and you certainly are gifted in that kind of way! I hope you become a great guitarist/musician in your own right! I'm about your age and I have to say you´re really inspiring! I share your dream.. Anyway, keep this up and you´re most likely gonna get there!:D

  • @SaxonBaseball You're ridiculous. The difference between you and this kid is that he's actually got the balls to put a video of him proving he can play the riff. And you don't. I get that you feel like you have to prove something, but if you can't back it up then stop trying to act like you're better than a kid who clearly has talent.

  • @SaxonBaseball you should hear him now with the tyler bryant band opening for reo speedwagon and playing wiht jeff beck! hes also brad whitford's son of areosmith- so yeah hes damn better then this vid from a while ago

  • Can u or somebody please explane the last  Lick on the lower strings???

  • Great playing, don`t worry about all the idiots that try to give smart comments on your tone, sound, ...

  • Tasty playing! And BTW tasty Strat - love teh gold & comp stripes, and a tweed case too!!

    Just don't go thinking you have to get a full sleeve tat, and shag Aniston too!

  • Very nice, good job!

  • Wtf. Why are people making ridiculous comments like "cut the stoner look" and "get better tone." He's obviously an immensely talented young guitar player who will probably be one of the world's best pretty soon. So... Chill the fuck out.

  • worlds best?

    hes good no doubt, but i dont know about worlds best man

    hahaha

  • lol not yet. oh no of course not. but give this kid like... 7 years. I can definetly see him up there w/ the likes of Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer

  • more reverb, and more of a bluesy tone, and a tad of delay would make it great. and probably a real strat. but good job.

  • Great play, but I can put a tennisbal in your mouth

  • any tabs?

  • close the mouth dude

  • lol i know

  • @blackhawk1788 let him look like he wants, he plays groovey

  • @blackhawk1788 yeah that was damn irritating!

  • Awesome job little bro!!

  • bro cut the wanny be amazing stoner jimi hendrix look, ur face looks retarded

  • Actually pretty good. Not the best, but good anyway. I dig it

  • great playing keep going man

  • Do you have the tab for this? i've searched the darkest corners of the interwebs with no luck..

    great playing man.

  • i think you've got great hands, but i don't like the sound...

    i think it's quite cold, while mayer's sound is extremly warm, you know, like someone embrassing you when you are very very tired...

    i would lower down the treble and lift middle..and try a dumble!!!!

    bye, keep on rockin'

  • hes playing through a fender g-deck, how do you expect to get that warm 2 rock sound.

  • all jonas naming aside though, great fuckin job what kinda amp do you have? cool-lookin fender

  • incredible tone... always impressing

  • you look like that one jonas brother

  • *gasp!* Don't insult him like that!

  • the youngest one that looks oldest now, i know what youre talkin about.

  • awesome. i wish i could play like that

  • Great Job ! Really

  • sounds awesome. i think it needs a little more reverb though

  • =o=

  • amazing

    but one thing i found funny is that your mouth was open the whole video haha

    but still

    amazing cover

  • da sickness

  • Awesome man! are there any tabs for this version or did you learn by ear?

  • Ear, sorry man. Good luck!

  • Yo Bro. That was Awsome.

  • Great Job!! :-)

  • Great job! Loosen up a little so it will sound warmer.

  • that is amazing, looks like you've got his style down. I wish i could play like that! Well, better start practicing.

    Tell me, where did you get that JM guitar?

  • it would sound a lot better if you turnd down your tone things on the guitar i promise ;)

  • Alright man, here's what I gotta know. First, have you played an SRV model strat and how does the JM compare? I'm fixing to drop the dough on one and I want to make sure I'm making a good choice. No local stores have one and Im mainly worried about the neck and frets... I have a mex standard. The JM neck is a larger c shape and my std neck has always felt a touch bigger than every one I've played. I'm hoping the size will be just right. Also, is the fretboard and fret action smooth or cumbersome

  • JM is great. Can't go wrong with it. SRV is a beefier neck so it depends on what you prefer. Both good guitars. I really like the JM tho. frets are pretty big.

  • its nick jonass nahhh ur tight, hes wack

  • Nice!

  • sweeeeet

  • sounds good, put a little reverb in it, and crank down the treble. otherwise, great stuff

  • yep i agree...

  • Post some settings bro!! I'm trying to get that sound on my amp but can't really figure it out. thanks!

  • that was really good! however i would suggest cranking up the reverb

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, that was awesome!

  • You did well.

    Continue showing emotion, it's important.

  • Really amazing cover.

  • Dude, close your mouth when you play... you had it opened the whole time! it really made you look dumb. But on the good side, you played the song well. The guitar is nice.

    I couldn't see the Two-Rock amp. Did you really use one? They usually sound great. The audio settings where somewhat bad for this video... but i've seen and heard worse ones out there. Nice job. Keep it up. Rock on.

  • Amazing dude!

  • sounds real good....amps a little scratchy/trebleyy tho

  • cheap G-Dec amp.. wasn't trying to impress with tone..

  • hey man this is sick do you have the tabs for it or know ware to get the accurate tabs i just love this song and the way you play it blows me away! cheers

  • sick harmonic at 00:31

  • nice man! love that clip. Killer chops, at this point I'm workin alot on that playing lead and rhythm sort of technique so this really helped me out, thanks!

  • Good job!

  • Close your mouth bro. You're gonna drool on that amazing guitar.

  • Was not trying to impress with tone... was playing through a fender G-DEC in my apartment, thats about as much noise as I can make in here...

  • man that was pretty sick.... with a nice tone that would be awesome but nonetheless good playing... by any chance did you tab this out?

  • eh, don't listen to sma, he doesn't know what a tube harmonic sounds like obviously.

  • dude your gay......... good job bro. did you pick that up by ear?

  • i am gay :)

    i mean, i'd give you a good go in the sheets, if you consider that gay!

  • okay wow no not gay your a freak if you being for real... to tone is fine its the camera and he plays it just fine get educated you dont know anything...

  • lol 'treble-influenced' stop trying to sound smart, thats just stupid.

    "that frequency is so good, i think im influenced by it."

  • ha stop trying to sound smart? okay bro. i apologize that i know the difference between a treble and rhythm pick up :/

  • Excellent.

  • I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

  • It's pretty good, man. Just gotta work out some of the rough patches to make everything flow together nicely. Other than that, I've got no complaints.

  • nice sound...what amp did you use?

  • man, a little bit warmer tone and you got his sounnd ahhah

  • hey nice playing... excellent! you rock!

  • do you have some tabs? or can you tell me what you do at 26 seconds, and 36 seconds?

  • is that the masterbuilt strat that john used in bigger than my body mv??

  • you rock dude. Definitely got somethin from your father.

  • Can I Have the tabs please :D ?

  • nice raking.

  • wow, that was amazing.

    do you think you could tab that one out?

    i think i'm not experienced enough to figure out songs by ear, and honestly, i haven't tried it that much.

    but, could you tab it? I think i'm not the only one, who's looking for a tab(A)

    great playing!

  • can you please tell me where you got the tabs from? i would appreciate it =]

  • sorry man no tabs, learned by ear, GL

  • good playing i like that color on the jm strat

  • Nice playing, and good tone - pretty similar to JM's in his TwoRock video - except that yours is lo-fi recorded :) What gear did you use?

  • !!!!!!!

  • oh thats the 60th anniversary strat, right? although it looks like that one that was painted for that car... idr...

  • your tone isn't warm enough. but the playing was awesome.

  • I'm going to put this in the more info section but I just want to let everyone know that I wasn't searching for good tone in this video. I watch playing through a practically broken G-Dec Fender amp. I have a Marshall I just can't play it in my apartment haha

  • I'm sorry, I hope my comment didn't come across as negative, I still think that this vid is awesome.

  • but I love your tone on here!

  • Dont listen to 'em thats pretty good tone for a cheap amp.

  • Hey man, you're tone wasn't amazing, but you sure nailed it notationally, I'd love to hear that through a nice set of tubes. Like, mayers TwoRock for example. :P

  • haha 10,000, that probably wont be makin the christmas list this year....

  • how much does his sig amp cost..does anyone know??

  • Its like 10,000 dollars, because they only made about 200 of them.

  • Wow. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. I find it funny how a lot of guys on here always use too MUCH reverb. You could actually afford to crank up the reverb some here. Especially for this song =) Nice chops, btw.

  • I wish people would stop saying this kid is playing through a two-rock amp. NO HE'S NOT. This sounds good, but not two-rock amp good. He's playing John Mayer's two-rock version of Slow Dancing.. which can also be found on youtube.

  • great skills dude, just 1 thing to say to this perfect cover, close your mouth while playing lol

  • awesoem vid dude, funny how u playin it outa that amp lol, sounds great though, how you like taht sig strat? ive heard nothign but positive about them. check out my cover of this video, i play it wrong but its not bad tell me what you think dude

  • If you could swallow the sound, you sure would.. - :)

  • ohhhh i lol'd!

  • dude that was f'n awesome OMG you leaned this by ear didn't you?

  • dude seriously nice guitar thought not the colour scheme i would of gone for i love mayers strat and if they were readily available ovcer here id so have one greaet skills too man u got some chops

  • nice!!

  • hey man that sounds good...can you send me the tabs for this?

  • saaa--weeet. was that an intentional pinch b.t.w.?

  • Spot on! Man that is a nice guitar you've got!

    0:34 = better than sex

    Check out my version if you ever have the time! :) / Dave

  • I thought you did a nice job with this! Keep up the good work!

    T

  • Good job man. A little rough around the edges, but with a little more practice you'll have it down exactly. Plus you don't have the advantage of playing through a $2,000 amp like John did in the video.

  • Try $10,000

  • I was referring to the Two-Rock Jet amp he plays sometimes when he's doing a solo gig. You can find them for around $2000-$2500.

  • nice playing. the tone could have benefited from a bit more low end but overall, that was nice

  • EQ anyone?

    reallllllyyyy need it.

  • I'd like to remind everyone that I am not trying to impress anybody with tone in this video. I was playing through a crappy Fender G-DEC amp in my bedroom.

  • That was bad ass. The different amps effect gives a nice feel to it.

  • nice cover man! quick question though, right at like 24 or 25 when you slap that chord, is that just a C# major or what?

  • C minor actually

  • thanks

  • "A closed mouth gathers no foot" (Watch the video and it will make sense)

  • Dude, you ripped it, that was sick, keep it up, and I think netdrop is too worried about what other dudes look like and is less concerned about your guitar work, sounds like his problem, not yours

  • he doesn't mean hes playing through a two rock. read the description. hes playing the version that mayer played when he was demoing his signature two rock. thats why it says two rock amp.

  • Its not a two-rock, just a cover of john mayers video. Plus if this kid wanted a Two-Rock Im sure his dad could get him one, he plays in Aerosmith.

  • Bro, Netdrop is tripping. You aint ugly. And if you're feeling the music then your face is going to do ugly shit. That's a rule of the blues. you're not ugly, I think he's just being a douche. Your blues are hardcore. Take it from an old bastard that quit too soon. Don't ever ever ever give up your passion for music.

  • what amp are you using?????????!!!!!!

  • your an awesome player. for this song though, I think you should roll off the tone a bit and turn up the reverb

  • great job! is that a Jm signature strat?

  • yeah
