Great playing and you must only be like 15-18? My only criticism would be the lack of ''feel'', althought i know its a very difficult song to play (especially this well). Fantastic job though
And now listening to a 'live' version of this song played by John Mayer, he plays it almost the exact same speed. There's a difference when you play in studio and out of studio and typically you play a little bit faster in front of people than actually playing it alone in studio. But that doesn't mean you can't play your own style, and the most aggravating thing to me is people are always critisizing others by comparing to the exact song other than the musicians own style of that song.
Personally I don't care if this kid plays it faster or slower, it's just a cover. I like the way he plays it fast, he gives it a catchy sound with his style. I've been playing for 12 years on and off and I'm pretty good ill say, but I dont think I'll ever get as good as this kid, good job bro. And I dont deserve the right to critisize this talented kid. Props to you man, keep it up, and keep the haters off of your back; more importantly, play your style and nobody elses, and you'll go a long way
You definitely sped it up, by a lot lol. No big deal though, its hard not to...shit I do a bit when I play this song. Nevertheless, an excellent cover.
And yes, your tone has that sexy, distinguishing strat tone. No where near the perfection of John's of course though lol.
@Stratjoecaster I don't see you posting any videos of your guitar playing on here. ??? I don't think he sped it up on purpose and how can someone like you who is just learning to play guitar critisize anyone on the way they play? This kid has got a ton of talent and will only get better. I've been playing guitar since I was 14 and I'm 29 now and I don't think I could play some of the things this kid plays. Post a few videos of yourself and we will see if your right to critisize.
@dave8386 ya dude... my band plays this and you did the john mayerersion perfectly.. if this guy knew what he was talking about, he'd realize that the hendrix version has way differents fills andruns on the guitar.. GREAT JOB
3.that person will ask u out or say they love u tomarrow.
4. heres the thing copy and paste to 2 other vids
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days... sorry i hate these things
its a good beginner amp but dont get too excited. I had my starcaster for about two months and after i bought my Gibson and my new fender amp, I noticedd how shitty the guitar is. :/ buy it but dont keep it wwhen ur good
lol just wait until you have enough money and get a Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, Fender Telecaster, or a Fender Stratocaster. I personally have a les paul because it has one hellofa rock sound and can also play one warm nice toned acoustic.
your son is A-MAZ-ING. if he has a voice i think you should see if he wuld do that if not already. .. most artists that can play an instrument are very fast learners at the skill of singing.. he's more tallented then my teachers ever were., give him my praise if u will, and keep the tallent coming, xx later ahahahaha =p
Well this was a different section in which I was the only one in so obviously I won this one, but I won the highest award with "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen. There were more kids in this group but I managed to win.

Nice playing, but singing as well as playing the guitar so tight, is what makes John Mayer extravagant.

@Gubby007 It is originally a Jimi Hendrix song. John Mayer covered it (I like Mayer's version better, personally)
This is very good! Maybe a little too fast in my opinion, but there's no doubting you played it excellently, buddy! Keep up the good work.
