[brightfutureswag]

[armansrsa]

hey man, are you singing this in mixed voice? or chest voice? you sound like a baritone and singing some high notes there. well done!

[soopa96]

Hey man, i just wanted to let you know how much i love this cover. This is going to get me laid XD

[Elicid1965]

Nice man!

[babolatXD]

[TheCooljamz]

Great cover! Great song! Me and a friend also tried to cover this one! Was worth a good try :D

[WalMartCompany]

good cover mate, great voice and great guitar playing, get em good mate :L 

[nishane1992]

Your really talented man! I was wondering if u could tell how you played the beginning part at 0.05, the quick finger picking :) Thanks and keep doing what you do best!!!!

[KayKBayZ]

@MrFleafanatic Sure thing mate. Check in the description for a link to the TABS.

[007qtpie]

Dude I love your voice! Great cover.

[paintballgeek1]

I know you didn't do the solo in this, but is there any chance you would happen to know the tab for it? All the tabs on the internet are crap and I'm not quite at the point where I can play by ear yet. Anyways, awesome cover, new sub. I love the passion you put into it, just as good as John himself.

[gabriell16bishop]

dude you tone is sick!!!!

[InspiredProphecy]

Awesome awesome

[snowfosho2]

best cover ever !

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

yeah.. absolutely Marvin Gaye voice sound.. incredible

keep up the good work!

[neilpendleton]

I thought you had a tattoo...Then I realised you just had exceptionally hair arms!

Good cover! Love it!

[redcarpetinterview]

Amazing!!! I am so going to learn this song! Did you figure it out by ear or did you learn to play it somewhere? If you learnt it from somewhere, would you be kind enough to tell me about this somewhere? Thanks! :)

[KayKBayZ]

@redcarpetinterview Howdi. Just picked it up by ear, it's pretty straight forward. Feel free to shoot me a private message if you want the chords.

[Giorgigogaladze]

[xXcRENzXx]

[tomanu7]

You are really good! Amazing voice! :D

[snowfosho3]

One word: AMAZING !

[ScottPorterMusic]

pre awesome voice man and loving the cover

[KayKBayZ]

@INSTINCTrock2009 It's just the acoustic version with the cut out mate. They are awesome! It's the best guitar in it's price range (about $AUD1,000).

[INSTINCTrock2009]

@KayKBayZ yes i thought it mighta been that one '

i love the maton sound

how long u been playing guitar and singing for?

[RT101894]

@INSTINCTrock2009 I own a Taylor and a Martin...If your looking into Australian guitars....Maton and/or Cole Clark are simply amazing.

[INSTINCTrock2009]

@RT101894 ohk thanx mate

[RT101894]

[bachXD]

wow you rock sounds like youve got a good ear then i haft to read sheet music or do a tutorial on line thats how my grampa plays all his music is by ear piano and guitar he has been playing for 50 years and your playing every bit as great as him YOU ROCK BROTHER!!!

[KayKBayZ]

@faitkeeper Thanks heaps matey. I think It's important not to get lost in sheet music because you can lose the emotion that way.  Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[hakim0744]

1st i didn't like the guiater but after the 2nd timei really started singin with you :D

[xAtheistAlexeix]

Chords please?

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

A few wrong chords and an out of tune G but overall, a very nice interpretation. Great job!

[ValleyDuets]

excellent!!! its so good to hear a cover that sounds GOOD and original. very, very well done.

[Dwindeezy]

you got skills bro!check out my version on my page please:)

[DaOtherResngit]

dude what kind of guitar is that?

[KayKBayZ]

@DaOtherResngit It's a Maton M225C, she's an awesome little guitar for her price mate. I highly recommend her :)

[conorhennessy1]

excellent take on an excellent song...nice job dude :-)

[MeganLouRyan]

unreeal...

[HalfBillion]

You got skills bro. Good job.

[lasuey]

you pulled it off with your own style.. i might even argue that you sound better than john..

[KayKBayZ]

@lasuey Thanks so much

[LucidSpore]

Always enjoyed the lyrics in this song, they just reflect exactly what a lot people feel.Thanks for sharing your time and energy to put this back out to the world in a new way, great cover. I like it more then the original song. Ill probably learn this =] or try...

[RT101894]

love your voice.

[Ssssupermom]

THIS ALREADY HAS BEEN COVERED/PLAGIARIZED FROM CURTIS MAYFIELD PEOPLE GET READY. (using moms ' computer) John Mayer is Going to Claim Royalties and plagiarism since he feels he is curtis mayfields publishing heir "waiting for the world to change" which should have been "waiting for people to write their own shit"

[andrejoaosf]

i'm impressed. it's really good. did you changed the guitar tune? or its standard?

[KayKBayZ]

@andrejoaosf The guitar tuning is standard, though thinking back, I may have played it from a slightly different key to JM

[acousticoriginals]

good voice, just timing issues

[dustin32p]

got tabs?????

[KayKBayZ]

@dustin32p Nope, sorry. worked it out by ear :)

[xxsoutherncowboyxx]

Good job man loved it!! you got more talent than me

[leesmartin]

Very nice mate

[JulianBotnarenko]

what impressed me the most is that you made it your own and not a copy of john mayers'

[KayKBayZ]

@JulianBotnarenko Cheers Julian. No point playing it like John Mayer, he already does that ;)

[thefrankoshow]

wow brother! you OWN this song!...i'm currently learning this for a good friend..

only SHE will be doing the singing...lol!

Ive seen it played using strictly bar chords

too. havin a bit of problem with that darn Bm chord, so been leaning towards finger-pickin....,,,,you rock my friend!

[luk4sfs93]

i think playing it the way he does is much more difficult than playing it with striclty bar chords. this is a great cover! loved it, love the song

[KayKBayZ]

@thefrankoshow Thanks heaps matey! I'm sure you're kickin' that Bm chords ass by now :)

[614365]

dude, im still waiting

[DarkAngel6534]

Wow.

That was Awesome.

(:

[MrRayistheman8]

wow amazing man keep it up

[sillybabyy01]

great voice! :D

[soccer6475]

you got an amazing voice bro keep it up

[treyselbe]

I feel like this man right here sung this song better then John Mayer himself.

[KayKBayZ]

I'm humbled by your comment my friend, thank you.

[druarde]

Woah, nice job. Love what you did with the song. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction with the chords you used? I'm working off of a simple pattern and your version is much better :D

[KayKBayZ]

No worries mate. I played it loosely based around this pattern:

D, Bm, G, D

A, Bm, G, D

I've played the chords in different positions just to get the right feel, but these chords should be a good starting point.

I hope that helps :)

[druarde]

Thank you, it does.

All the best

[tubingforever]

Halfassed guitarplaying, superb vocals.

[jakeblandjk47]

how is it halfassed? its simple and effective.

[StarscreamTrance]

dunno bout halfassed. maybe not the best guitarist in the world, but def pulls his own weight.

[moeandhisguitar]

woah!

from one musician to another fantastic job and great interpretation! awesome job on the bridge which no one plays!

truly amazing! great singing! your one of a few people that sings with emotion! Subsribed!!!

[TheBucknell]

great

[stupidguise]

wow this is a nice interpretation of a fantastic song. great job dude!

[monkeybasher]

Was always a fan of the lyrics behind this song. There is knowing and understanding, you understand and believe and it makes you shine. You inspire me with your talent... keep on fighting the good fight

[KayKBayZ]

You sound like a thinker. I respect that very much. John Mayer and his lyrics in this song are truly exceptional. And thank you for your comment :)

[StarscreamTrance]

bloody fantabulous

[fnjdr4la]

You're amazing! :D

Great voice! And good guitar!

5 stars!

[jusatenftw]

best cover i've heard. others try to make it their own, but they change the tune and they make it sound like a completely different song. You made it your own but still kept the tune. 5/5 very good.

[KayKBayZ]

Thank you man.

[haydnkinnee]

another good song

[mlapshin]

great cover! good playing, great singing!

[lkespiritu]

you should make a tab in ultimate guitar :D

bet it'll get five stars too!

[KayKBayZ]

Sorry mate, don't have it.

I worked it out by ear. Cheers.

[sert7]

yeah

[accord02com]

dude, this is a really good cover. good job man

[ruipsoa]

great cover man!

great voice and guitar skills 5 stars ;)

[FallenDj]

i like it :)
