Wow. So good. I'm very very cynical about guitar covers on youtube. Especially John Mayer. And at the beginning I was like "Oh no.. Another kid just playing as close to the original as possible with no feel" but I gave it a chance and it was great. Your singing is spot on too, man. Keep strummin'.
well you are subscribed and i gave you 5 stars. I'm a HUGE john mayer fan..going to see him in concert again in feb. and usually im picky about people doing john mayer covers but this was awesome! LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
lol use your nail, you just gotta watch out not to miss cause otherwise it hurts... btw really nice cover, Im useing this as reference, Im trying to learn to play ot =D
Yeah man I am very impressed with your performance. As a guitarist myself I was looking for a good cover of this song and Ive found it, well done. I agree with Malfunction Online
actually there's a difference between falsetto and head voice. falsetto is an "unsupported" version of your head voice. most people can't use their head voice unless trained to increase their range, a normal head voice, you can use your support, which makes it sound normal (You'll notice if you use your falsetto voice it has a weird quality to it).
or at least i think all of that is right, that's what my singing teacher told me.
Personally, as a singer, I've trained to eliminate the break between my falsetto and my head voice. I can have a mix of the two and blend it well. Most males are not able have that blend between falsetto and head voice (due to lack of singing), thus having the "weird quality".
oh i understand what you're saying now, and i agree. i can't sing this song because of the falsetto part, what can i do to help "blend" the two together?
all i can really say is wow. dead on. im workin on this song now and this really helps me to hear the strum pattern better and to see it visually. so now i think i can attack the rest of it and get it down pretty decently, not as good as this though...
below is a rough idea of the strumming and timing. it repeats throughout the chorus. you should paste it into Notepad to see how the lyrics align with the timing.
D=downstrum, U=upstrum, and S=stringslap yes i'm grounded
On the chorus, i do 2 regular down strums, followed by 2 light slaps on the strings in sort of a loose clenched fist position on my thenar (part of the hand). and then repeat that throughout the chorus. hope this helps!
nice :-) +1
