  • 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

  • @knestleknox i'm aware thanks. 

  • its jimi hendrix, not john mayer...

  • doesn't matter if you played it fast. you're still a badass for covering a song by john mayer especially of this difficulty

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

  • He plays this at 125%

  • how long time did it take for you to learn this?

  • u look like 8

  • 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

  • a little fast but i understand..its hard to get rythm 100% down lol

    slow it down a little and its perfect man

  • very impressive technically but rushing somewhat i feel

  • Am I mistaken or was this originally Jimi Hendrix's song?? Someone fill a brother in!?

  • @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.

  • Am I mistaken or was this originally Jimi Hendrix'ssong?? Someone fill a brother in!?

  • @Gubby007 jimi's original...mayer just gave it a "fuller tone"

  • This is still to fast and a really bad cover. Also, the uploader is still not able to take critisism from others.

  • I think it's a nasty instrumental version of the song. Good Job. Nasty is a good word btw

  • I actually had forgotten how bad this video was and how poorly the uploader takes comments. YOU DID SPEED IT UP! THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS A BAD VIDEO!

  • I actually had forgotten how bad this video was and how poorly the uploader takes comments. YOU DID SPEED IT UP! THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS A BAD VIDEO!

  • I would love to jam with you bro

  • 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.

  • Slow it down mate, try not to be a show off.

  • @Stratjoecaster

    I didn't speed it up. Look up "John Mayer Wait 'Till Tomorrow Where the Light is.

  • @dave8386

    Mate you did, his is more laid back, yours needs to be too.

  • @Stratjoecaster

    I really didn't, and even if I had, you think it's fair to call me a "show off" just because I accidentally played it a little faster?

  • @dave8386 Just chill out mate, justa bit of posotive critism, chill your beans ;)

  • @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 no ur an idiot its way faster

  • @Stratjoecaster

    Dick sucker. Not much more I can tell you mate.

  • @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

  • I dont see whats so Special?

    Just some bluesy song that shows no skill whatsoever.

    And i can tell you something that the guy holding the Camera isnt going to get a job being a Camera Man!

  • i want to marry your child! :]

    he is sooo talenteddd.

    im 14 (chick) and im attempting to

    learn guitar (more acoustic stuff), but i suck. haha :]

  • That tone is BEA. utilful! what a talented individual, get recording dude.

    but a bit too fast!!

    AWSOME DUDE!

  • You really are amazing

  • woah last time i saw him was when he was twelve doing freebird lol

  • He did pretty good. Jimi Hendrix would be proud.

  • wow hes very cute now lol

  • nice. Have any Hendrix to share?... or jazz.

    You rock kid. I'll have to subscribe. Do you have any originals or a band?Don't really need a band nowadays...well, you don't.

    Now I have to check out more of these wild riffs you have going here....5 stars!

  • im gettin a fenderstarcaster for christmas.... not the strat lol strats arelike 600 bucks i got mine for 200 with a 100 wat amp :))

  • 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

  • zYes i know that now i have it and im like :\

  • 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.

  • ILY <3

  • HE - IS - GOD !!!!!!!!

    Excellent job man !!!!!!

  • Is that a Gilmour replica guitar he is playing?

    jeez you stick a teenage boy behind a guitar and suddenlly he goes up in the hotness factor!

  • is playing the david gilmour custom strat?

  • 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
