[litwit123]

[TheEditingShop]

A busker's anthem.

[1991Martin]

this is really the best version of pickapart awasome :)

[punkfussel]

AWESOME!

[MrOnrust]

Gosh, who are the 5 idiots who "thumbs down" this video?

[PapeteriesBraunstein]

hahah your title is true, I have them all big Butler fan.

[R4185]

Does anyone know what's the tuning there ?

tks ! Awesome ;)

[terraking258]

@R4185

most songs he plays (when on the 12 string) are in open C tuning, which is CGCGCE (yes you tune b string up) if you like this check out ocean - live at max sessions. will blow your brain out your ass

[MrOnrust]

Are they real or acrylic? I would think he could play a real nail away faster than it would grow.

[ETGuitarist]

@MrOnrust They are acrylic. Real nails break pretty easy playing this kinda thing. Particularly busking in winter...I know, I do. lol

[MrOnrust]

@ETGuitarist I went into a acrylic nail place to ask. I had 15 Asian women looking at me strange..... and then I ran out the door. Thanks for the reply. I'm a big fan of epoxy and polymers and it makes perfect sense to go "Fake".

[ETGuitarist]

@MrOnrust Get a wig, some lipstick and high heels...then practice your higher pitch voice and go back. hahaha. Covert operation to get some nails. lol. But on a serious note, ring the place first or get your wife/girlfriend/sister to go in and talk to them on your behalf. Generally some of these places have a small room in the back where they work on people. You might be able to go in there. The beauty place I go to does. But it helps to have a female liason to go and sort stuff beforehand.

[thePolerin]

@ETGuitarist or you can stop being such a wimp about it and just go in and ask. If anyone asks, tell them exactly what it's about, and then play them some funky riffZ.

[YorkshireHeather]

His face makes me chuckle :)

[HerrUrin]

This one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen, plus this is an amazing performance^^

[karimkimoo]

do you have the chords for this one mate ? what is the tuning of the guitar btw ? thanxx

[ghitaciprian]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[LewisPoldenBaby]

anyone know what brand of guitar that is

[zanedude3]

@LewisPoldenBaby

its a maton

[jackzar121]

@LewisPoldenBaby its a manton but i think he drew on it himself

[KingKoboldMcMarco]

the best version is the one from the rothbury festival :)

[chokicou]

at 0:20 someone's walking behind him :P

[charlieschapter]

fuk yes .. all yes johnny

[L1B3RTAD99]

im going to see him in june. counting down the freaking days to the best day of my life

[joshcboy]

1st time i heard this was in 2006 i think in my total guitar mag. love the song

[Keeponharpin]

does anyone know the tuning for this?

[nichg25]

pretty sure its open c. As far as i know he plays most songs in that tuning.

[Darkparadigm]

@Keeponharpin For sure Open C. CGCGCE.

[richardlincon]

open C

[bikesh148]

why isnt this guy famous?or is he lol

[Lilmanro]

dude he is

[TripleRIsBack]

Oh crap. I 2star'd it when I meant to 5star it. Sorry guys. D=>

[TripleRIsBack]

5'ed it today. =D

Although it'd be better if you could 10 star vids, 'cause this deserve a billion stars more than it has. Yep.

[attack123]

wow this guy should start a band with just a drummer and bassist and call it "The John Butler Trio" haha

[taurtue]

damn right that would be great

[DiabeticMafia]

@attack123 

[merymery594]

awesome!

[rgraham35]

First time I heard John Butler I bought one of his albums actually the John Butler Trio.....It is about time someone puts together blues and style all together at least with this one. I can listen to his songs over and over.....Keep it up!!!

[radshopfred]

Look this,look ocean,look Betterman Live - he is one of the best guitar players NOW !

[JackassPal]

you play the guidar than god!

[InsaneClownBitch]

And the song is not only technically cool but also very beautiful. Lets not forget about that.

[MrChristi95]

der is sooo geil der hats soo druaf

[RothburyRebelofTPD]

The version he played at Rothbury 09 blew this one away. He added a special flavor for us that day!

[Fezrat]

Is it just me or does that pick where he flat picks sound a lot like funky tonight?

[gherkin007]

got TG's dvd of this. great performance, but i prefer Oceans

[Boyd89]

They're both great songs, just so different.

To me it's like comparing a brand of peanut butter to a tv-show - "why can't we just have both and be all the better for it?"

Although Oceans is just incredible tbh. What a piece.

[liag877]

THE MILLION DOLLAR HIPPIE

[Rg1527]

hes rich?

[liag877]

haha yeah, i live in the same town as him, in freo. Infact ive been to his house :D he plays in a side project with my uncle. but yeah everyone round here has nicknamed him the million dollar hippie haha.

[CampOlympic09]

why million dollar? he has alot of money or something?

[nogopromo]

There's something about seeing somebody whos so blatently talented on guitar... this is incredible.

[funkystyleboy]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[killershroom999]

this song is just so moving i love it

[petruswoo]

I love the sound of his 11 string, its so FULL.

[rebelman75kells]

haha i love people think this is just another cover... meanwhile.. hes disgustly famous

[ANOYJR]

he looks like great hunter Tictic in 10,000 B.C....LOL

[riclineri]

Are you related to Jack Butler?

(Satan's house guitarist in the movie "Crossroads)

[Masamuneblader]

That was Steve Vai actually.

[riclineri]

dumb ass, that was a compliment.

[shredr18]

hahahahaha no dude

[SecretSingerxx3]

ur rlly good

[avday]

this guitar is actually an 11 string, made that way, the high G on a 12 string is a real pain its so thin and always snaps,id suggest thats why he plays 11

[Hamsammich111]

"made that way" ?

You mean hes got a 12 string andjust removed the strings :P

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

no.. look at the head. it was made as an 11 string

[whiteonsolo]

nop... you can see a hole on the headstock. he removed the tuner.

[justinstanley13]

yeah he removes it cause he doesn't like the sound of the high g string cause it makes a weird noise when picking and it used to break a lot when he played so he just gets rid of it

[leviticus053]

dude your stupid it wasnt made that way. he just removed it cus its so annoying

[panoptijohn]

JB is the man. Without a doubt, one of the finest Australian exports of the last ten years.

Greetings from Colorado,

JPP

[JJWebster]

for some reason i just got an erection!

[SookyTurner]

@JJWebster HAHAHAH best call!! LOL

[AaronNagelMantel]

I like it how he sings its a bit funny but very cool

[Joni0001984]

Sounds like counting crows on steroids.

[HalfItalian]

Counting Crows is a band. This is one man.

[Joni0001984]

I am impressed by your ability of deduction.

[cdonguitar]

Mr John Butler with Mr Newton Faulkner on Lead(DUELING) ..Eddie Vedder on vocals..Matt Sorum on Drums..and Mr Gilby Clark on rythym...just my opinion...(maybe revive shannon hoon or layne staley for backing vocals??)

[andre666]

Sounds good, apart from the obvious GN'R obsession... hehe, it's cool.

[bmachul]

this is pretty cool but check out his perormance on spicks & specks wherehe plays "ocean" its just asolutely awesome

[B1D1R4]

cara vc veio do inferno?

vem pro Brasil fazer um som...

[carolcoladooo]

issso aeee!

Campaign:

Bring JBT to Brazil!!

[Samupaim]

\o///////////

Campaign:

Bring JBT to Brazil!!

[THOODAI]

does anybody know where you can find an accurate tab for this song? what an amazing guitarist.

[kerouac9991]

i'm pretty sure its tuned cgcgce from low to high, and this video shows his hands the whole time

[bmachul]

it's an 11 string guitar

[nightingale013]

Yeah a tuner hole is empty

[guitarkid1111]

an 11 string???? lol its just missing one. other videos show it up close and you can see it.

[MetalArmJack]

Wrong... Watch "Ocean" live. It zooms in and you can see it's not there. He just takes a string off... I think it's the 6th G or something, not too sure.

[guitarkid1111]

yeah that is the same thing i said, i was telling bmachul that.

[tomthetaffer]

Does anyone know what the pattern on his guitar is? because if it was stencilled or drawn on, i'd love to do that for my acoustic.

[SilverSlugger10]

I've read that John draws all of the designs on his guitars

[tomthetaffer]

Cheers, i'll give that a whirl and see how he does it.

[JoshMaxF]

weird ... he's an amazing guitar player !!! from here till nowhere. JB 4 life

[SpreadPeaceAndLove]

One of the most talented musicians around right now... truly an inspiration! Keep spreading the beautiful music JB!

[Nexx16]

owwkeee... he is sooo goood!!! no words for it :)

[plimmiras]

teleios= perfect...

[moltasonti]

gosh everytime i'm to see this video i would like favoroutie to put on but i have already place to favourites many times ago!

[gjarrandt]

i'm pretty sure the best version of all his songs is every version... there's nothing wrong with anything he and his band has to offer :)

[jlivings10]

I love John Butler and his skill on guitar and his songwriting ability is amazing....his vocals leave something to be desired at times though....

[THOODAI]

i understand what youre saying, but then again, he is one of the best guitarists and with that much talent his singing compares to that and doesnt seem as good. his singing is actually pretty good, its just with that overwhelming guitar sound in the background it can seem a bit out of place.

viva john butler

[gabatxdu11]

really super singer and mad guitarist..so so good

[neilss1]

hard song to play and even harder to sing while playing it its got such an off beat

[gabatxdu11]

very difficult but i've seen your videos and you play it well...good job

[neilss1]

thanks i play a lil too fast i still have to re do it havent gotten round to it yet lol

[simodrafat]

EXCELLENT..JOHN BUTLER .

[clacherty69]

If it's not the best, it's very close. Amazing player. Was privileged enough to see this guy live at Kuranda last year. Thanks for the post!

[nimbus3000deluxx]

everytime when i watch this video i want to add it to my favorites but it is already on of them

[butlerzboy]

CGCGCE THE TUNING IS (y)

[ivezem1]

holy shit hes amazing

[felixthecoach]

Woot! I wanna pick up my guitar and DADGAD it just to remember when I used to dream of playing like that.

[MAKEY0URSELF]

haha =]

[Skinsfan4life94]

i think u mean cgcgce, open c is usually johns tuning

[jankowitch]

Realy ... this is best version of this song

[SteveVaiFreak]

someone has the tab ?

[westhendrix]

this guy is fuckin amazing!!!

[Halifax888]

you say it right!

[thegoodz07]

Hell yeah, rock on brother

[KatalilOu]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhh

[philwalker]

i really like the artwork on his guitar... ive always exceled in music, but never had a knack for drawing. wish i did so i could make my guitar look like that.

[sticky1305]

haha ship your guitar to Endland... Im exactly your polar opposite!

Figures really that i ended up in an arts University haha!

[mthz9]

I've been playing guitar for about... six or seven years. And I can barrely even play like... tears in heaven or when the children cry on a 12-string guitar. I don't have a fucking clue how he can play that fucking fast with his right hand on a guitar like that. He is the best!

[CBGB78]

I don't think you have been playing for 7 years then bud.

[lorenrb]

fucking amazing

[BobJJ9999]

That is just mentally good!

[bersaba]

3:20-3:30 for me.. those deep sounds he gets... aww man I love JBT.

[evilotto77cheese]

i love 3:57 - it sounds so good!

[rapidfire21]

hmm well im need maybe 20 years practice guitar before i can play that well, another few years of sing to be able to sing in tune, and then another 10 years to be able to put them both together in such a perfect sync. so basically i will be able to play this when im 50 or 60. thats not too bad ^-^

[ZebraJones01]

You'd look cooler playing it as an old dude anyways!

[C1iche]

5 monkeys

[pingupower]

His guitar playing is intense!

amazing song.

[wt1105]

when i saw him live, and spoke after the gig in liverpool he said he wanted to cut his hair of.. i dont know if u havee but ur hair looks GREAT in this vid.. shud leave it like that (Y)

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

Why did he cut it man????

[wt1105]

He said he has had it for ages and wanted a change... we advised him not to, i dont think he has.

[ALSimmo]

yep he has... there are a few pictures around...

[bersaba]

What do you mean "we advised him not to"? What are you his manager?

[wt1105]

No, im not his manager. We just advised him not to... Eg we liked his hair as it was and thought cutting it off would be a bad idea. You can still give somebody advise without being there manager.

[bersaba]

Do you mean you sent him an email as a fan? What I'm getting at is, it seems a little strange to say "cutting your hair would be a bad idea" unless it had 'weight' to the advice.

I just find that comment very strange.

[wt1105]

no it was at one of his uk gigs and we waited behind after and spoke to the hole band.. and he was saying hes had it for 18 years now and wants a change, we said that it lookes great as it is.. dus anyone know if he has cut it yet? would be about 6 months ago now.

[Klappspaten]

he actually has cut it off ... its stil dreads but shorter

[jakeisonthejaker]

i don't think he cut it it's just pulled back

[julienaustralia]

john you are the best!!!

i love the way you are

please, never change!!

[matsbugs1]

tirded tese guys have had an amazing amount of expierience playing live... they used to plat at our uni in bathurst.... 15 yers ago. best live ever... even better tha the recordings

[joshcboy]

yea it's from total guitar. that mag was a good one. had 2 good bands, rhcp and trivium. 2007s TG mag were so allfull.. there was only 1 song i liked in evry issue.

[bmass13]

This is great but my favorite version is from Live at St. Gallen.

[superquadman80]

[hellanervousx]

[sam2k7s]
