John Mayer - Neon (w/ Tutorial!)

[PatrickLiveMusic]

i like your cover!! well done! ;)

[yarkoss]

I know that its been more than 2 yrs since posting that vid and probably youre a way better guitarist than this video shows but for people who are learning this wonderful instrument- practice with a metronome, otherwise youll be speeding up and slowing down, just like in this video shows. Dont get me wrong its not that bad here, but hes triipping over his fingers at times. Singing is very interesting though.

[DaneCookIsntDatFunny]

Hey Brad Pit, what are the chords to the bridge?

[chickenrama]

38 people do not like this song even if Mayer was playing it.

[adamscore]

ADUDE NICE COVER, BUT ITS SO FAAAAAAAST¡¡¡¡¡

[VicRoseMusic]

why so many haters? I thought it was decent.

[sabianboy11]

Jack Johnson should not be playing a John Mayer tune!

[wdennis8]

Dude I know this was posted 2 years ago but I just learned this song and I am interested in the bridge part you are doing. After 2 years can you still play this song. I have been practicing it for 2 months and I just feel like I have the into part. I' m 47 and learning guitar, go figure. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. thanks

[iloveyoumysugarpie]

special care kid...

[guitargod162]

no



[bbb23]

I don't care about 'unique musical tastes' in this case. The guy have a good voice, but he plays to fast and it looks like he can't sing and play at the same time.

Of course, it's hard to play this song! Imagine singing....

I liked the video, I'm only questioning about the comments here.

[MrCweezie]

good shit..

[cynical12000]

@thema6ician he sucks??? how the hell does this guy suck? he killed this song (maybe not all that great singing :) ) but his fingers are in the right spots and he's playing it just fine. if you were any good youd know that this is a legit cover

[edguilherme2]

i thought it was a retard playing it, to many fast

[mcgeoughm3]

It was good but slow it down bro. Also John only uses 2 fingers and adds a bit more percussive's. Great vocals and loved ur interpretation of the bridge. Still working on that myself. Just take your time with it and itll sound even better

[thema6ician]

you suck. give up...

[TheRedBullCrysis]

What I don't understand is you've got 29 dislikes and only 73 dislikes, some people fucking seriously... :\

[cowboycliche022]

"Even though I'm not the greatest guitar player."

HA.

[bboyxchristian]

what's the point of picking with two fingers when you could use four?

[maestro723]

@bboyxchristian because that's how John plays?

[Time2Keel]

You did it good on the guitar and the vocals...jazzy- funky tune is a brick to play and sing...good job with the tuto too man.

[bryman305]

wronngggggggg

[HNewton13]

@bryman305 can u even start this song? let alone sing and play it.... good comment doucheeee

[bryman305]

@HNewton13 yea fucker i cant even sing and i probably perform it better than all these people who post sloppy ass covers on here. and you probably fail at playing guitar for even thinking this song is hard to play.

[mpdub3]

@bryman305 POST A FUCKING VIDEO THEN! don't go trashin other people unless u can back it up

[SergeantBeans]

sounds really nice man, you have a nice voice

[LNOL]

You're too fast. It sounds sloppy.

[ruudjehhh]

Little fast, but sounds nice!

[meowingcatx]

exactly, not the cleanest, but pretty sweet still :)

[LNOL]

Your tutorial was waay too fast.

[LNOL]

That's not drop C. That's weird John Mayer Tuning. Drop C is CGCFAD. This is CADGBE

[shocb]

@LNOL that's C standard. drop C is when you drop the E string to a C. Hence, CADGBE.

[LNOL]

@shocb en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­Guitar_tunings#Dropped_tunings­

[MudShark85]

@shocb though naturally that would seem correct you are infact wrong.

[SandWraith123]

fantastic bro, its a fun song to speed up if you got the dexterity for it, and not bad vocals either, john mayer is NOT an easy man to cover

[247gunna]

ppl wish they could simply play da songgg.. this song is soo difficult

[msb777msb]

hey wow, fast or to fast, i think still it's good!

[benchkid2]

I'm pretty sure it's fast forwarded. Or he had 5 energy shots before this?

[TheDonimusic]

very good men....congratulations

[MiniDaab]

i sort of like what you did with the song.

creative you.

good tutorial also.

[gibsonpetter]

I think you started playing too fast in the beginning. it goes too fast for you.

[gibsonpetter]

I think you started playing too fast in the beginning. it goes too fast for you.

[jsantis91]

I think the last chord of the intro is a wrong chord...but it sounds good still....I can't play this one yet...its a bit too fast for me :P

[shaddie0711]

If you LOVE Bryce's music like we do, please join our facebook group...

"Ellen, Please Give Bryce Larsen A Second Chance!!!"

[leadergdgp]

just a little too fast in the begining

[wordlessmuse]

yeah its a good cover, but you would sound SO much better and crisp if you played just tad bit slower (:

[bigwrench01]

the great thing about music is you dont have to play it the same way

[AshSurk]

Bad. Ass.

[lukea555]

If you carry on practicing this more and more you will sound like John and for those who are slaging this off then I'd love to see you try yourself its easy to critisize but at the end of the day if you can't play it then don't say anything!

[bigbadboi90909]

gagrius, who gives a shit if hes playing it too fast or slightly not right, it sounds right enough and hes got an amazing talent to sing and play the guitar at the same time to such a hard song

[gagarius]

Well... you're not playing it right.... and it's too fast.

[obrienpj2312]

I do think that you should slow it down a little bit, so that you can pick out the last two chords in the intro a bit cleaner, but your voice is phenomenal. Great job!

[ping235]

slow it down a little

[TobyKruit]

Great job!

And I love the Pink Floyd poster.

[midgetmanskating]

you look just like jack johnson man! haha, keep it up, i dont care what other people say i think you played it awesome. and i like how you put your own spin on it, creativity is better than doing it the same way. anyday! keep it up man. :)

[snowbrdr88]

rasta mon!

[jacoboy123]

People need to understand that in this song, John plays it slow, relaxed and grooved. Your going way too fast. Listen to him play live and play with him at the same time, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[buell41]

does this look like john mayer?

no. its a cover. john plays it slower but this guy likes it faster. each person has unique musical tastes. dont criticize someone on how they envision a song being played just cuz john played it slow.

he said right in his descrip that he didnt just copy john. john already plays it that way. why do it again?

play it a diferent way and maybe you'll come up with something fresh. a song is a piece of art not a static statue of a thing. its dynamic.

[rsbeiti]

I couldn't have said it better.

[ArcticRider]

I agree with you. If you do a cover, do it your style, that's the right way. But if you feel playing it faster, you have to play it accurate, clean and flawless

[jpjsej18]

the solo was dope. but the first half could use a little work

[sumsimpleracer]

beginners you may want to learn a different song, this isn't exactly the easiest song in the world

[lambgtr7]

someone has a plane to catch!

[123SUPERLMFAO]

mate slow down

thats why your hitting bum notes

[guitarking10000]

dude i hav been playing for four years...and it was way to fast for me! how do you think beginners are going to get it! SLOW DOWN!!!

[V0udka]

You're maybe not the best player like you said, but you are fucking great nonetheless

[musicianfriend247]

hey is there a different tuning for it

[pcpolarbear1]

drop your low E to a C

[guitarking10000]

it is on a low C man

[samalamabingbong]

i loveeeeeee this song.

amazing job bryce, like always

[ItsJustAbbey]

this is one of my favorite songs!

[danliness]

My fingers are too short for some of the cords its irritating!

[sbretsch302]

ahhhh youre so good at playing the song...even if its not as clean, as you even said haha

[321kittyfacejoe123]

slow down !!!!!

[diecartin928]

the chord progression is well done, but slow dowwn =P

really good at vocals =)

check out my cover of who did you think i was

[Berkeyballer]

too fast at the beginning...

[StephieBear3]

bryce you're awesome :)

[cdellag86]

Bryce, I freakin' love ya! :D

[musicliger]

i'm completely in love with your voice.

[pwrlifter69]
