John Mayer Cover- Stop This Train

[seokwon1994]

hey, what mic do you use?

it sounds great!

(for the guitar and vocals)

[JessieLeov]

Amazing. Gave me goosebumps

[Pearboss727727]

Just watch the timing because the bass notes are off

[brsurferbrasil]

hey man what kind of martin is that? by the way you are amazing!

[pastyourhorizon]

@brsurferbrasil

hd-28v

[hadeora]

Men, this is the most beautiful cover Ever! FUCK!! very nice!!!!

[TrappedInABikini]

You're good, but you're playin it wrong. U should check out John Mayer's live performances

[pastyourhorizon]

@TrappedInABikini

it's his own rendition. he says so in his tutorial. the regular verse/lyrics part of the song has a wide stretch so obviously he uses the same notes on another part of the neck and it works =]

[abeastlyphil]

@TrappedInABikini hater

[xxRobert068xx]

You are amazing.

[downhillfighter]

what kind of martin is that??

[edythlouise]

vocals are fabulous..everything fabulous..enjoyed it :)

[OO7coolioOO7]

just masturbated....wait what?

[blitzencheeze]

True it is far from flawless but I admire your passion. Great job,i'm learning the song myself

[fettcock]

bro ur playin it wrong

[lukgiil]

Nice cover dude, I really enjoyed it.

[kupzilog08]

i find one.. this dude copied john mayers version

[ASLint]

Nice singing! You've got some nice vibrato and sustain.

[95GuitarMan13]

youre very talented great job

[MrAwesome3993]

great guitar playing man.. voice is a bit off but i think that guitaring makes up for it.

nice video dude x

[jumpman127]

dude, after watching the gnarles barkley cover, you need to pick more black music. you have the like...for lack of being able to describe it, the gospel sound. like black southern gospel. sing some other stuff like that. it's perfect for your voice. you sound great here too. i just think you'd be better suited to that. great guitar cover btw.

[TheFifthTake]

Of course its a hard song to cover. ITS BY JOHN MAYER! lol. Good stuff though. I like this.

[ASLint]

Cleaner than Mayer plays it. Cool.

[telemageddon]

good work man, you play it kinda weird. Mayer always plays the root with his thumb which is pretty epic to do.

[Gooombla]

34 people are jealous of your talent dude.

[Espot12345]

Amazing Guitar play man

[heyxxmichelle]

i wishhhh i could play as good as you :(

[pastyourhorizon]

Even after watching this video for 2 years now, I have to admit that this is the most brilliant cover and interpretation of this song I've ever heard. This is the work of a true musician.

[toiletski]

Awesome cover!!

[InspiredProphecy]

Truly, Awesome cover. I was looking at a tab and it said in one part to play the LOW E with your thumb on the third fret and the 7th fret on the High e at the same time. Right above the note on the Low E it says "sim."

Hope I didn't confuse me. Please help me anyway you can with this matter. Thanks.

[InspiredProphecy]

Awesome stuff man.  I loved your cover.

[TheRayFrom1989]

good job

[smp31]

That was so badass! I don't think people realize how difficult that song is to play, let alone sing and play at the same time. Wow.

[nadare05]

can't go wrong with john mayer. awesome!

[JonnoXD]

even though you dont play exactly to john, it sounds great! i love how you've mixed up the verse part still around the D chord. great job! :D

[thephamcookiemonster]

what guitar are you using?

[VictoriaSecretShow]

very good!!!!!!!!u're now my idol man!

[easty7]

John Mayer- Assassin (Music Video) Now Up On YouTube!

[UnveiledSavior]

hey what chords do you use while singing?

cause ive been trying to use the intro for it but it doesnt fit very well...

[jhpbear]

You got a gift bro. Keep goin'

[rockerverb50]

Youre guitar sounds amazing.  What model is that?

[bboyxchristian]

you sound a lot like the guy from the frey (who i love). keep up the good work man!

[infectionofes]

dude, you did a very good job. I think the flaws your referring to are actually your style traits. They arent' flaws at all! Very good cover!

I wanna get as good as you someday.. i guess one day at a time right? =D

[ooeViNe01oo]

dude this is cover is super awesome..nice & smooth!!

[mattmanzo]

Fantastic job man. All around guitar and vocals. Ignore the comment about working on them. you can carry a tune better than 75% of people on youtube and you are in tune. Love it.

[karlos1008]

Probably the best cover of this song I've heard. It is pretty damn hard to learn as well :P

[Zooropa1310]

...Are you Jeremy's brother? Amazing work!

[knowa626]

@Zooropa1310 I am Jeremy's brother.

[Zooropa1310]

@knowa626 I can't tell you how many years I've had She Was EP on my iPod for, I listen to it quite a bit. <------Big fan. My name's Alex.

[flutsh1]

5* good job!

[PoPo12113]

this is incorrect and you know it

[nickberndsen]

this guy is fantastic

[rmartinez8176]

you need to work on your vocals

[gambi1990]

you suckkkk :)

[IvanLeeMusic]

Well done!

Off to do the flicka thing for a while :-)....

[whitefoxx05]

Good deal knowa, I watched your lesson on this about 20 times and finally picked it up. I really appreciate it, Thanks a bunch.

[07borgma]

this is extremely good!!! well done buddy! :)

[MrLilisatube]

@missermajane07

this guy is probably the greatest guitar player in the moon. and by the way no body ask you how long, or how fast had you got this whole riffs of the song. and anyway i know what you want from us.... so here you go....

your the most boastful guitar player ever

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

@knowa626 since i found you here in youtube you gave me lights and hope to play this song correctly

me and my baby loves you so much

God Bless your career

[caviemangione]

Nice job and I really enjoy your tutorial. Do you think there is another way to play the verse? I've seen some people use their thumb on a low G and keep the same chord shapes from the intro...reaching all the way up to 7th fret on the high E string (and G string below).

[suckmahhwhat]

this song gives me butterflies. you did a good job (:

[XJoeyJordison666X]

Good cover man 5/5

[drovethroughghosts]

I love this song. You nailed the guitar part.

Voice is good too :)

[sparkledust7788]

John Mayer has the funest music to play. Not too hard or mind boggling difficult to where your fingers will bundle in knotts, but the music is worth learning and taking time to practice if you just want to chill or something.

[hotuknow]

couldn't agree more

[ams914]

@sparkledust7788 Screw you, his songs are fucking hard. especially this one. I have the CONTINUUM artist approved music book, and it's got about 20 something chords in it.

[sparkledust7788]

@ams914 Hey no need for the language there. I like playing John Mayer, I practice and I get better. I' m not saying it comes natural and you get it in one set. It could take months and months to nail even one portion of his songs. And his songs are fun to play, keep practicing, you'll probably get better and master the CONTINUUM artist approved music book, Best Wishes!

[annatheHPtwerdfightr]

@sparkledust7788 best wishes? are you john green?

[pastyourhorizon]

@ams914 LOL why would buy a tab book in the first place

[kweerb8]

@sparkledust7788 not too hard??? try neon or out of my mind and get back to me. great job on the cover man. not perfect but nobody is and i enjoyed it.

[bobcatpride2123]

@sparkledust7788 this song is super hard if you're doing it right haha

[cortes742]

@sparkledust7788 This song is ridiculously hard. i havent found 1 person on youtube whos done it right. no one has gotten the verse part correct. IF you watch john mayer do it he uses his thumb on the 3rd fret and then stretches his hand to the 7th fret.

[sparkledust7788]

@cortes742 I'm not trying to be rude, but John Mayers music is stil fun to play. Even if you're not perfect. I never said that playing like him wasn't too hard, but his music, like other musicians, gives others something to work toward. It's something new, challenging and inspiring. I think anyone who even attempts to play John Mayers songs deserves KUDOS! =)

[kupzilog08]

@cortes742 yea.. i was really trying hard to find someone who really can play it like john mayer but i cant find one.. because if you try to copy john mayer's version its kinda HARD because his thumb is in 3rd fret.. OMG!

[missermajane07]

I just learned this song tonight. The strumming was really hard but I learned it in 30 minutes. I loveeee it and you perform it perfectly.

[downbender]

30 minutes? dude you are either a guitar talent from mars or you don't know what you're talking about. That song is immensely difficult and takes way longer to get the hang of.

[missermajane07]

It's not that hard. Well, I'm a pretty fast learner too and I've been playing for a long time too. But you did really good.

[timehmanno]

@missermajane07 well arnt you just amazing.. youve come here to brag, well done.

[cXilion]

Awesome! Very well done!

[thatakid18]

Where can I find the tabs for this song as shown in the video? All the tabs I've seen hover around the 3rd fret region, unlike this video.

[Stratjoecaster]

he should just stick to guitar, his voice is a bit off and his guitars the tiniest bit out of tune!

[odie10000]

guarantee you its not

[JeromeDude24]

You got the technique right except John only uses his thumb and index. I tried imitating it and I actually find using my thumb and index much easier than incorporating my others

[LenaIbrahim1]

great great cover dude

[TraeBudde]

This is a really hard song to cover! Im still trying to get the technique down. I applaud you, my friend! great work! I rly liked the thing you did at around 2:05 :]

[Neptunade]

Your voice is good, but oh come on you coulda done that stretch on the guitar for the verse! It just takes practice.

[x0oKristinaa]

your incredible , keep it upp <33

[x0oKristinaa]

beckabest your a cold hearted bitch.

stop singing ? hahahahahahahahaha.

hes accuualyy REALLY talentedddddd and i love his voicee.

lets see you cover this song.

if you dont have anything nice to say, shut your damn mouth.

[SkotNewbower]

i don't even read comments that much anymore because of the lowballers like beckabest. super annoying. there's enough shit talking on the internet, let alone youtube. 99.9% of it isn't warranted.

[guitaristavista]

LMAO!!!!!!!

[cmonneah]

he probably put in hours and hours of practice. THerefor put much more justice to this song. What did you do? Spend a minute or two watching a YouTube video and then post a negative comment?

[deadbatteries1]

i love how people can use their own style with a another song. its probably the best cover i've seen so far

[EstimatedProphet420]

how DARE you say he play the guitar as good as John! lol XD he is no where NEAR Johns caliber and I think he even knows that.. very nice tho man! I like how you add you add your own style to this song.. very nice

[JoDaPo1112]

Guitar is nuts dude. Really good

[starrchild99]

That is a fabulous cover. And a beautiful song. Tremendous!

[matwaira]

i think, yr voice is better if u sing a country song.

neway i luv yr picking man

[capo3rdfret]

the picking is sooooooooo melodic love it love it love it!

[Divi0076]

just incredible broo.

[korvlada]

i find it impossible to use the left thumb on the base string...cant bend it im not even close

[capoeirahh]

Your grip is too wide. I can only do it on my sister's guitar. You could play it using a bare and just the midle and index fingers. Good luck

[ASLint]

Wow, you're right. Why wouldn't you want to use your middle, though? It was the first thing that came to mind when I heard it.

[panchaseh]

I can't believe someone can play the guitar as good as John.. you are really amazing

[ASLint]

The middle finger plucks all the highest notes right after the slap. The hand comes down and slaps and then pulls the middle finger right up. It's hard to see, kind of impossible actualy.

[MellowHorizon]

Great job. Congratz on raising a nice vid

[Andyvswild]

this is amazing

[UnveiledSavior]

that is unbelievable. good job

[jmen1333]

Can anyone tell me the chord or the name of the chord he plays during the verse. I, like everyone else, cannot stretch that far while holding the bass chord so I'd like to know the alternate chord.

[jrperida]

Gmaj7 G(#4) Gsus 4/2 G6sus2

[lyngbyy]

you can just use your index finger, instead of your thumb. I do that, works fine.

[HHsongs4u]

incredible guitar work!

[acuity67]

when are you using your middle finger (RH)? i can only see you using your index and thumb. are you using it on the high e?

[myhandlerip]

huh... ez nem túl jó... bocs. szar a gitár hangzása. nem tetszik. sőt a hangod hangzása se tetszik...

[hiscal2020]

perfect cover

[dFav3]

great playin! hope i can learn that real soon

[maukstein]

Parabens!

[Rko595Music]

really good go. Mayer has such a weird voice, his pitches are so hard to hit. I've been listening to Continium, trying to sing some of the songs, but it's just so difficult.

[pastyourhorizon]

yeha hahaha i totally agree, and he changes alot of things and makes variations also that can confuse you when singing ahahha

[hannemann]

yeah, what guitar model is this?

[sungboy]

Martin OM 28 JM signature

[knowa626]

hd-28v

[sungboy]

sry....it looks like a JM sig didn't know

[Danklin24]

Great cover. what model guitar is that? please answer

[girlthatyoulove2hate]

Please sing happiness by the fray!! <3

[salvationishere07]

awesome cover dude...maybe you should start covering songs by The Fray...sure suites your voice :)

[Eliminator5555]

Fantastic cover. And yes, the technique that John uses to play this song is extremely difficult to master.

[teutio]

Perfect........

[freetimemusic]

nice! I wanna learn this song so bad...I can play it, but just wiithout that damn slap/flick technique. I just can't get it down. Any tips?

[edgarSmile]

practice!! watch videos and practice some more , im barely gettin it, practice practice !!

[sfmonkeyc]

A really great effort on a difficult song. I was amazed at how well you did on the really high falsetto parts.

[Lennart1337]

and oh yeah

3:43 is just great

[Lennart1337]

im trying to give a comment to give you feedback.. (dont mind my english please :P)

youre guitar playing is just perfect, i just love it.

Youre voice.. its good, it really is! but you should sing songs that need a louder voice (i guess). I still like the singing, i dont think its bad but from ur voice i think its great if u sing harder songs.

my english is crap.

have fun making more videos 8-]

[ilovemyipodnanoyesh]

at first i was mad you jumped the first verse sortof. it didnt sound exactly like john mayer. but i liked it, alot

[kylewd89]

great job, what chords do you use during the verse that go with the words?

[sev48202]

Your playing is great, and your singing is alright, but I can tell your really trying and you did a good job for someone who sounds like they don't sing very often. Excellent

[Levidamanguitar]

Tricky song...great job

[jordankal307]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video and the the heart of life cover. It takes a true artist to cover this song.. Great Job!

[sirokket16]

You are really good at the picking/slapping rhythm, but you don't play the right chords - which I figured is intentional, but they don't sound very good. You have a good voice btw

[blackman0528]

false. they sound very good..

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

i really love that you're willing to take some risk,, others who covered this song were flat, even though its not a 100 % demonstration, you were great. There are no easy word in Mayer's songs.

[betweentwofires]

GREAT!

[GatoGuitarPlayer91]

This is great ! dont get me wrong a dificult song and he has the technique down!..but you are not playing the chords progressions correctly of this song..check out ¨Where The Light Is¨ that might clear it up for you.. ;)

[pastyourhorizon]

hes playing it with his own twist. its a cover. youre not trying to be the actual artist but putting your own style. =]

[GatoGuitarPlayer91]

There's always a difrence between playing the song corectly and making it your own style...

[pastyourhorizon]

making it your own style can include changing the chords and stuff to your liking. as long as i works. its just expanding yourself and being flexible hahaa. and playing exact covers especially when playing with people just shows a lack of individuality in your playing.

[alexkimak]

wow great job man

[moopderg]

Where did you find the tabs for this? Because all the ones I have found are basic and don't get the full feel of the song like what you played.

[honuecker]

He has a tutorial.

[TKbrands17]

jgoble: hang yourself:). the hell with those mistakes: this technique is unique and hard to play. you got the right ears dude to hear what mayer plays. and singin': false or not; there's a feelin'. that feelin' makes me death for the false mistakes :)

[simpo03]

awesome! Playing and singing like that doesnt just happen overnight, respect for putting in the work dude!

[Steemer122]

This is such a sweet cover!! And the tutorial is awesome too

[irhymeswithpie]

very very nice cover!! i get the flick thing now from your other video!! but i don't get the chorus part... are you just flicking or are you picking some notes?

[LeonardoP]

Oh my god...

That's all I can say!

[ddnycc]

whoa, unexpected, unreal almost. great work

[babidaf]

i have to tell you that it sounds so good! realy nice!

[Jappaa89]

I like your feelinf on your guitar, keep it up.

[Coffeaman]

WEll played and sung! Thanks for the best tutorial on the technique too...

[lds16]

Great song and very very very well covered !

[joshyboy152]

Good work great guitar - few errors, thats alright just work on playing the song 3x with absolutely no mistakes - if you can.., great singing.. just sing with feeling like you really mean every word your saying and people will beleive it more next time.. you can do it.. better then i can do anyway. right now. Good work.

[burgesa]

good guitarskills, but work on your singing dude

[JustMyBattleScar]

Sounds great, good cover!

Which Martin model is this?

[jgoble06]

he says "so scared of gettin older" not "great at gettin older" lol. other than the lyrical mistake good work!

[joaospace]

pretty sure he meant to do that

[jgoble06]

Well why would you hit the same notes on guitar as john mayer, and sing the same lyrics, same key, same tempo, and change one small piece of a verse...no one does that. duh

[kels327]

it was a joke. wow.

[sk8gal1]

i know right

[MANZANARAusa]

BTW, what kind of guitar is that?? And great sound from the mic on the guitar.

[MANZANARAusa]

Great stuff! As a fellow musician, I say keep up the good work. You, sir, have talent!!

[Jappaa89]

Well done

[treis88]

great cover!

[abolocks]

You go in and out of falsetto so emotionally and its graceful on this one. I prefer it to John's personally when you softly tap you vibrato Very Nice voice, and upper register. And GREAT guitar work. Really Cool. An emotional song that hits home with everyone.

[lifeismusic15]

I think ur sooo good

[TreyDillon]

Check my video out and tell me what you think. Just search Trey Dillon Stop This Train. And Check it. Thanks

[lifeismusic15]

i like urs

[rob33cinema]

Absulutly great job

[alfarokingwhat]

not even playing the right chords so how can it be the hardest cover if its not done properly .. Nice playen !

[TTTERRRRRRR]

How long have you been playing guitar?

this is wonderful =]
