I can't believe that was all the applause you got, honest to heart and soul, that WAS perfect. This song really holds emotion for a lot of us. I felt like you knew EXACTLY what those feelings are like. And you displayed them with such color. Thank you
One of the best covers I've seen... just superb. How long you been playing? Your ability to play and sing effortlessly is something I feel like I may never master. Thanks for posting either way and may your talent rub off on me :-)
@0khaiser0 I'm currently using NEXUS 12's but tuning up and down from D to E is gonna break it eventually anyways... unless you can afford to buy a guitar and keep it in that tuning.
@0khaiser0 the trick is to tune your guitar a half step down, all of the strings! and then you tune it to the tuning you want: in this case E H E F# H E
this makes me mad..ths is probably the best cover of this song on here..the guitar is as close to the original as it can get..but the sound quality sucks..good job though :)
Um... wow! that was a simply perfect cover! I'm still trying to learn the opening riff and can't quite get the harmonic thing to work fast enough. You give me hope that it is a reachable goal. Very, very well done.
damn it man. this is great but it's annoying me so i have to say it - that little interlude in the first verse where he changes the meter a bit, nobody on youtube does that right with the bass notes. i'm talking starting at :55. it's a great part, you can definitely do it. so do it! (again great cover man)
I have seen a lot of bad covers on youtube . . . and I'm happy to say this is not one of them. You did the song justice . . . and it sounds reallllly good! Keep it up
One of my top #5 favorite Mayer songs. This is easily the best cover of the song on YouTube. I say that not only as a fan of John's but also as someone who's been playing guitar for the past 12 years. Usually people mess up the tuning, or leave out notes/chords. Keep up the good work, & check out my page. I have alot of good Mayer stuff.
Thankyou speclk19! I'm really glad I didn't ruin a perfectly good song... I was worried about not doing it justice so thanks for your kind words :-) I'll check your page right now!
If I was there... I'd give you a brodely hug

Actually, your tuning is backwards. It's EbeF#be

@TheMusicvent You better be the one who's backwards, cause I just purchased a new set of higher gauge strings in order to get this tuning!

Hey what strings did you use for it to not break when you tune up the A and D string? My D string always breaks after 3-4 plays of the song. =(

you can't expect a crowd to go a bar or a pub where a musician is playing to be quiet all the time. it has absolutely nothing to do with respect.
very nice singing though!
