Does anyone else reckon he sounds slightly like the Lead Singer of Crowded House?

[Korespix]

has anyone told you look like stephane brisebois, a defenseman of the montreals canadiens who won the stanley cup in '93?

[superdude77]

Great cover...Coldplay are hard to do!! Nice ending with the harmony to your vocal.

[vGerardz]

awesome! where did you get the tabs?! :D

[soundcolour]

Great stuff. Nice use of looping. Would definitely like to see more.

[magickbox]

love, love this video and arrangement, john. finally trying to learn my boss rc-20xl. sometimes want to throw it out the window. can you tell me how you are able to do both guitar and vocal loops in the same track? i see you lean down prior to adding the vocals. are you adjusting something that allows you to do that? i read about kt tunstall's setup (with extra mixer and y-connectors) but don't think you're doing that. thanks, rob

[AndrewLeeFinnigan]

this is amazing awesome awesome I am researching loop pedals to incorpprate into my live shows. would u recommemd the RC 50??

[JohnRockliffeMusic]

@AndrewLeeFinnigan It depends mate to be honest. The RC-50 is a lot to take in all at once. I started with a Digitech Jamman which is far easier to use and get your head around the whole looping thing. I use a jamman in this video.. Once I'd mastered that, I moved onto the RC-50 which opens a whole new world!! So yes, I'd recommend it to anyone but I'd also recommend getting used to looping with a basic looper first!

[Ohrfrei]

Perfect voice!

[Talhsoma2]

Nice job man. Just bought a Boss RC-20XL and looking for good loop tunes. I'll be adding this one to the list. Great song by Coldplay. Cheers!

[peterxaoxao]

you're great mate

[GarethJohnMills]

Brilliant mate. Haven't long bought a loop pedal. I got an Akai E2 Headrush. What's yours? We need more loop songs on here people. 5 stars!

[JohnRockliffeMusic]

Thanks mate, The loop pedal I use in this is my old pedal.. It was a Digitech Jamman. I had an Akai before that but swapped it for the jamman. I now use a Boss RC-50 Loopstation, its the daddy of loop pedals :)

[marcostor13]

great, very nice. Eres muy bueno, vas a ser muy exitoso

[rockinringo]

The works - great!

[Spanio22]

oh man, that's really awesome, i liked it, really best cover :)

[jareddeason]

Very cool!

[pjilbs]

excellent work!

[TheFabFive12345]

where did u get the tab from? thanx

[JohnRockliffeMusic]

I just worked it out mate :) I think I play it a bit higher than the original..

[ricomajestic]

Is your guitar in standard tuning?

[TheFabFive12345]

you r awesome dude..but stop being so good, ur makin me feel heaps bad compared 2 u..

:D

P.S keep it up! is this ur job or just a hobby?!

[greenfolio]

[perduaparis]

Great Cover

[beautifulwriter]

Very much average. Nothing fanciful.

[pinkpoop24]

u really think this is one of their best songs though?? theres nothing to it. but awesome use of loop and good sound nicely done

[molgeletti]

Cool - I just try it - its not easy

[rubyrossmusic]

Wow. This is a great cover--nice use of loop! Everything is spot on, and your voice is well suited. Just stumbled on this, but now I'm off to look at more of your stuff. Great work!

[nifxyz]

[JohnRockliffeMusic]

Hi thanks for the kind words..

For this vid I used my old loop pedal which was a Digitech Jamman..

[ignaci0bosch]

[Rockland32]

Wonderfully subtle use of the looper. Nicely done, sir.
