Good job bud. You have a nice voice, not so much suited to this song in my opinion but it was in key and wasn't off once! The instrumentals on the other hand were spot on and were the closet I've seen on youtube to John's version, sounded great, keep it up!
Nice, I love you guitar. But if you try to get a chair that you can lean back with your microphone near you and not lean it you wont flex your abs and then you will get a more clean and relaxd sound. Try it! It really helps me!
Hey dude listen, I am reaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy grateful for you dude, man, you really are an example, your playing is super great (strange word connection jajajaja) this definitely will go to my favorites, you really play good, and those tabs are the most precise for me, if it weren't for you, maybe it would have taken a lot of time to learn this, thanks :)
I have seen other covers and they can sing it but they don't play it properly. I mean the men,the women sing their versions amazingly.
but out of the covers i have seen made by men,you are probably the most accurate one i have heard so far. Great job!!!
I think your voice is great and it's made for country music,but you sang this song well. I play with my thumb on all of the parts but that's just me,at least you played it correctly. Keep It Up!!!
You played it and sang it well. I think this is a great cover so keep it up!! Though just one thing I'm sure you are surely capable to play that low E with your thumb :) great cover!
your covers are amazing. what set up do you use btw? like what kind of microphone, video recorder, etc? does the camera actually record the audio from where its sitting, or do you run an input audio cable into the camera that records your voice and acoustic electric guitar directly?
Heard this serveral times already, so wanted to give you a reply. Awesome! There you go ^^ I love it. And btw I can't hear anything at any point during the song, that should sound autotuned O.o
@Sandler41882 I can do this 10 times better, so I am far from jealous, I just said what struck me when I heard this, I never said it was, I said it sounded autotuned, might've been the choice of reverb along with his singing. This aint brilliant nor is it anything special compared to other covers of the same song so get over yourselves.
And to MrBlackBalloon I mean no offense, you got room for improvement both in the singing department and the guitarplaying department but keep up the good work!
@Caomhe all due respect but for me it really doesnt hit the part. his voice is really flat. guitar's ok. but it doesnt give you the kick that jm usually does. a cover should at least have its own quality but this is plain boring.
I don't know if you have originals, but with those vocals and guitar skill, I really think that you could make it if you send a demo to the right record company.
@acidkill They have a diverse sound, i dont really thnk one is better than the other, but i find Taylors are overpriced compared to martins and they lack lows
@acidkill i hace a taylor 914, best taylor makes and i agree. martins are wonderful they are great for blues and rhythm guitar but taylors have sweeter tone in my opinion
@thmountaineer2010 The tuning from low to high is E (standard), B (one octave higher than A), E (one octave higher than D), F# (half step down from G), B (standard), E (standard)
top notch man. Love the song and I most definatly love the sound on the taylor. Is it a 814ce? What do you think of the expession system. I have heard mixed reviews. Love the video man. Keep up the great work.
really good, you just need to work on the rhythm in that riff in the first verse, listen to the song a few more times, remember to keep that bass line straight. in that part, but that was really the only problem
@Sonofabot this is an amazing cover, but nothing can ever truly be greater than the original. but @MrBlackBalloon dude this is awesome. best cover out there
Great job! do you know where I could get the tabs for how you play especially for the phrase "and not race to your door" I cant tell where your putting your fingers but really like the voicing
GREAT job. The guitar sounds awesome (I happen to have a very similar sitka/cocobolo GS :) -- your vocals are smooth and very John Mayer-esk. Really enjoyed watching the vid. Can you talk about your mic and camera setup? What are you using for a camera and what kind of mics are those? How do you have them running to the camera? Keep it up.
@wizart19 Yes, you can use the low E string to tune for this song. For those of you who don't know, Mayer uses E B E F# B E tuning. Simply use the 7th fret of the low E to tune the A up to a B, then use the fifth fret of that B to tune the D up to an E, then use the second fret of that E to tune the G DOWN to an F#. The high B and E strings are already tuned. Hope that helps!
awesome cover man :P i have just learnt to play this song my self... its really a great song but i need to work on my vocals before i put a cover up on youtube aswell... great sound quality aswell...

How come you are unable to get those harmonics to speak? I think this cover is great, and spot on, really. Great sounding guitar and vocals. I had never really noticed those bass notes before in the bridge before the "get lost on the boulevard tonight" verse. Sweet, man.
I'm not sure. I think they are more clear in the raw audio material, but they might have faded a bit in the mix. Also my technique could be better I guess :) But thanks for your comment,
Dude I might get some hate for saying this, but I really would rather listen to your recording than Mayers. Your tone and voice are so good, it suits this song perfectly. Awesome job
