I appreciate this comment is a year old now. But if if you like that kinda thing, the acoustic fingerstyle community is huge and there's some huge talent on UA-cam.
Well that was flawless. Didn't expect anything less. You made me fall in love with jazz chords and now that's all that I play. So thank you. I've been a fan for 10 years. :)
I’m not even gonna lie I watched this video expecting to be like: “Man this guy can’t even touch John Mayer” But after watching I think that’s just about as close as you can get. I’m stunned. Absolutely brilliant what you’re doing mate
[Verse 1] Rosie Come down and get the door for me I'm drunk again, remember when we used to be? Rosie I know you said no more for me But that was all before this dream that just came to me [Chorus] Don't leave me here Under the January rain Come let me in Take my heart by the hand And lead me back to your room And sing me your tune [Verse 2] Rosie You don't have to hide his things I'm fine with all the sorrow that tomorrow brings Whoa-oh-oh, Rosie Don't you know my love is true 'Perdon' and 'lo siento', see, I learned those words for you [Chorus] Don't leave me here Under the January rain Come let me in Take my heart by the hand And lead me back to your room And sing me your tune
The way you manage to play the bass riff so accurately while playing the chords in the beginning is so great ! Very inspirational thank you for sharing !
as I comment on every video, so much love for your talent. we are so blessed that you share it with the world. your voice is so smooth like butter. your daughter must get the best lullabies sang to her. hahaha thank you for sharing such a wonderful part of you with us, the viewers 💜💜💜💜
I like that Gabe is genuine in how he only covers music he acknowledges, since he could've easily blown up on UA-cam if he just covered all the songs out on the radio, but he'd rather cover REAL music.
Been following for about about two years now and I just want to say thank you for the inspiration you have given me and continue to give me with every video you post and every song you write. It pushes me to keep going and excites me for my career as a musician. Keep it up! I love everything you do! Much much love, -Brennen Henson
You're seriously the only guy EVER who can do justice to ANY john mayer song. Been your fan ever since I first heard your cover of in your atmosphere waaaaay back when!! Please please do In The Blood, PLEASE!!!!
I've only watched two of your videos and honestly I don't need more to subscribe, I love how you keep the soul of JM songs intact and still make them your own, such a great job!
Ive been with you since forever. Just notice me once and Ill be the happiest woman alive. I still listen to your originals up to date. I loooove you so much. Just once notice mee.
Hearing you do this cover made me go look up the actual song. I love John Mayer but my goodness your voice. This. All of this and your voice. I’m a fan now!!!! So glad I found out about you which was just yesterday. Wow.
JESUS CHRIST GABE! THIS IS AMAZING!!! This is also my favorite song on the album, and you absolutely killed it in every aspect! With the little guitar responses, the solos, and how you still managed to keep it simple yet funky at the same time! Pure Gold!! Keep it up man! 👍🏼
only covers i've seen that get the essence of the whole song, with an original take on vocal style, i can get behind it! awesome man! Inspiring for my own playing!
Followed you from the start, and thought after not watching for a while I'd search you. You have changed so much! and you have a kid too! Regret ever stopping, keep it up!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS!!! I LITERALLY CHECK YOUR CHANEL EVERYDAY AND KEEP REFRESHING THE PAGE TO SEE IF YOU'VE UPLOADED! I CAN'T EVEN THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!
someone tell me why every rendition this man makes is perfect ._. love it!!! can only imagine how busy you are but love how you still find time to spread the love with your music! hope one day i'm as good as you :---)
This cover is awesome, just got back from basic training and it’s the first thing I listen to. Heard it before the I started training and had to hear when I got out.
I love finding new musicians on UA-cam and I just found you like an hour ago and I've listened to so many of your covers and wow. Just wow. You are super skilled and what a set of pipes too! one of my new favorites for sure!
First of all Gabe, CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY TO COME! Love this rendition of Rosie. I wonder if Mr. Mayer himself has seen this? If not HE NEEDS TO! 😀You are undeniably talented and I will be one of the braggers that can say I knew you when!! My son Kyle is your BIGGEST FAN, and we are Martin guitar freaks in our family so your music is played a lot around here. Keep 'em comin', we're waiting for your South Bay gig! Xoxo
Your music/covers/renditions never fades kuya Gabe! More covers to come! And congrats for building a one of a kind fam! With love from PH! Mahal kita! ❤️ My future wedding singer! ❤️🙋🏻
I mean Mayer's like the best rhythm guitarist I know but Gabe is really good- especially considering it's not in studio. and yeah Mayer accent is borderline incomprehensible lol. mostly I like this version cause the pre chorus melody makes more sense to me than Mayer's
Gabe has a better voice but that's not really what Mayer is about, he's an amazing artist. There's many people out there with great voices but not many people who can create songs like Mayer.
Bro, your absolutely amazing! Like im just stunned! You deserve some recognition from the man himself, for covering his music so well! Your voice is incredible, as well as your guitar playing! Your an inspiration to all aspiring musicians thats for sure! Never Stop! Cheers!
John Mayer is one of my biggest inspirations in both music, and life in general. Although it is, of course, not my place - I get very protective over his music. I would just like to say that your covers are the most intriguing and beautifully crafted arrangements of the songs I live my life by. You amaze me, and inspire me in a different, but equally important way. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I’ve never heard any person play rhythm, lead and bass on an acoustic guitar. This dude is a beast. Holy shit man!
Richard Bonillas, Jr john mayer does it.
Saket D They are both incredible
Basically every fingerstyle guitar player
I appreciate this comment is a year old now. But if if you like that kinda thing, the acoustic fingerstyle community is huge and there's some huge talent on UA-cam.
Need to Listen to Mr Tommy Emmanuel
That muted note at 2:52. GENIUS.
Ray THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
harmony. its really hard to do tbh
When a humble guy like Gabe says he thinks he's got it - you know he about to drop some magic shit on you.
The fact that you love John's music makes me love your music even more.
bro, are you in an Ikea right now??
IM LEGIT CRYING
Kurt Anders oh my God 💀💀💀
he hasn't an ikea in the world! ;)
It was genuinely the most funny comment I have ever read. lol cryin
hahaahhaahahaa dude youre amazing
Tuning is DGDGBE for those wondering
Jeremey King THIS! thanks bud!
youre the man, thanks
Jeremey King how can you tell ?
THANKS!!!
either test or he knows it by ear.
John has to see this.
Can you just cover the whole album? LOL. Loving all your renditions of John Mayer. This and "Still Feel Your Man" are on replay ;p
I seriously want to see you perform with John Mayer one day or at least get some recognition from him! oh man.
ME TOO MY WISH FOR HIM!
is there a way to tag him? He (JM) said that he watches covers of him.
From where did he mention that?
It was on a livestream recently where John said he watches every video people tag his name on.
Gatsu not on UA-cam! He said on Instagram. He doesn't do a lot on UA-cam anymore in private. Only his Vevo official channel.
One of the best guitarist/vocalist combo on youtube IMO
"I think I got it" .... BRO YOU NAILED IT
Well that was flawless. Didn't expect anything less. You made me fall in love with jazz chords and now that's all that I play. So thank you. I've been a fan for 10 years. :)
this is too dope not to comment
The way you say "hello" cracks me up every time I watch this great performance, which I love deeply.
4 years later and I still come back to this rendition 😁
I’m not even gonna lie I watched this video expecting to be like: “Man this guy can’t even touch John Mayer”
But after watching I think that’s just about as close as you can get. I’m stunned. Absolutely brilliant what you’re doing mate
Hahahah! My first reaction upon hearing your take was to LAUGH. Laugh and laugh and laugh in AWE and laugh at my guitar skills. Sad life.
you're not alone...
LOL
I first shared this with my friend, liked this video and THEN had my mind blown off with this cover.
Dude. Truly incredible talent, and amazing voice. You have a gift my friend.
You Mr. are going straight to my favorites. No questions asked. Thank God I discovered you.
[Verse 1]
Rosie
Come down and get the door for me
I'm drunk again, remember when we used to be?
Rosie
I know you said no more for me
But that was all before this dream that just came to me
[Chorus]
Don't leave me here
Under the January rain
Come let me in
Take my heart by the hand
And lead me back to your room
And sing me your tune
[Verse 2]
Rosie
You don't have to hide his things
I'm fine with all the sorrow that tomorrow brings
Whoa-oh-oh, Rosie
Don't you know my love is true
'Perdon' and 'lo siento', see, I learned those words for you
[Chorus]
Don't leave me here
Under the January rain
Come let me in
Take my heart by the hand
And lead me back to your room
And sing me your tune
so much raw talent.
Dude. Your arrangement is amazing.
That delayed chord at 2:32 - so good.
This is why I love your work man. You make everything your own.
Nice job, yet again.
The way you manage to play the bass riff so accurately while playing the chords in the beginning is so great ! Very inspirational thank you for sharing !
Man, I've been watching you for years, and your guitar chops have improved incredibly. That solo section was right on.
mesmerizing af
This is too crazy bro! Arrangement was off chops, even when the solo hit, I see what you did there!!!!! Always 💯💯💯💯
as I comment on every video, so much love for your talent. we are so blessed that you share it with the world. your voice is so smooth like butter. your daughter must get the best lullabies sang to her. hahaha thank you for sharing such a wonderful part of you with us, the viewers 💜💜💜💜
joshua hong brought me here and I'm loving it ♡
I like that Gabe is genuine in how he only covers music he acknowledges, since he could've easily blown up on UA-cam if he just covered all the songs out on the radio, but he'd rather cover REAL music.
The solo at 2:50 😍🔥
I'm obsessed with this cover
Absolutely nailed it!
LOVE IT!
Absolutely beautiful. Proving once again why you're one of the best cover artists! I love how you don't over complicate things. So refreshing.
Please make your acoustic Rosie tutorial video🙏🙏
Been following for about about two years now and I just want to say thank you for the inspiration you have given me and continue to give me with every video you post and every song you write.

Dude! That was incredible! You slayed it :)
David DiMuzio nice seeing you here..
You're seriously the only guy EVER who can do justice to ANY john mayer song. Been your fan ever since I first heard your cover of in your atmosphere waaaaay back when!!
Please please do In The Blood, PLEASE!!!!
It is so complete even though it is just you on the guitar, great cover!
Hector Jimenez I agree
singing, picking, feeling, dynamics superb
Dude! You're awesome! :D Sometimes I feel like you give us vibes of both John Mayer and Bruno Mars at the same time! :D
I've only watched two of your videos and honestly I don't need more to subscribe, I love how you keep the soul of JM songs intact and still make them your own, such a great job!
Ive been with you since forever. Just notice me once and Ill be the happiest woman alive. I still listen to your originals up to date. I loooove you so much. Just once notice mee.
Love all your John Mayer covers! This acoustic version of "Rosie" sounds just as good as the album version. Flawless work and so good on the ears.
Bought your latest album on iTunes. Listen to it everyday! Keep up these amazing video's Gabe!
Love some JM, and your covers are always on point!
Can you do in the blood?
Sam Kinunen everybody can.
Josh McClain not really
Hearing you do this cover made me go look up the actual song. I love John Mayer but my goodness your voice. This. All of this and your voice. I’m a fan now!!!! So glad I found out about you which was just yesterday. Wow.
voice smooth like a peanut butter milkshake ...
JESUS CHRIST GABE! THIS IS AMAZING!!! This is also my favorite song on the album, and you absolutely killed it in every aspect! With the little guitar responses, the solos, and how you still managed to keep it simple yet funky at the same time! Pure Gold!! Keep it up man! 👍🏼
OMG I love you, you're getting the best songs and turning into diamonds.

Cover request: Something Like Olivia - John Mayer I would love to see your rendition of it
All of your acoustic covers of Mayer's songs are amazinggggggggg dudeeeeee ur talented af! Keep it up 🙌🏻
Gabe you should definitely do a cover of Best Part by Daniel Caesar!!!
Really cool arangement man. I like this sound
Joshua of SVT brought me here .
You’re the best 🙌
me 2
This cover is awesome, just got back from basic training and it’s the first thing I listen to. Heard it before the I started training and had to hear when I got out.
Moving On and Getting Over PLEEEEEEEASE!
You are very kind and a great musician!
Gabe, can you please do Best Part by Daniel Caesar?
I love finding new musicians on UA-cam and I just found you like an hour ago and I've listened to so many of your covers and wow. Just wow. You are super skilled and what a set of pipes too! one of my new favorites for sure!
DO NEW LIGHT BY JOHN MAYER!!!
First of all Gabe, CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY TO COME! Love this rendition of Rosie. I wonder if Mr. Mayer himself has seen this? If not HE NEEDS TO! 😀You are undeniably talented and I will be one of the braggers that can say I knew you when!! My son Kyle is your BIGGEST FAN, and we are Martin guitar freaks in our family so your music is played a lot around here. Keep 'em comin', we're waiting for your South Bay gig! Xoxo
ey gabe, we miss you so much. it's been 10 months :(
Got to be my all time fave cover from you. So good. PLEASE cover Helpless!
Where did Gabe go? :(
Exceptional job Gabe - congrats on the new edition to the family.
More John Mayer :D
Woahh, so damn good!! Also my fav song off his latest album!
GABE I'm pretty sure many of us are still waiting for that Beauty & The Beast cover from the Moana cover :'((((
Absolutely impressed, you nailed it. Loving the JM covers. And such an humble guy too! Yes sir!
How come you have hair ties on the fret?
Dat1guybruh it cuts out/dampens unwanted feedback and can mute string you don't want to play
oh clever
Robert Adams
Does that mute open strings (you can’t play open strings)?
In this case he's just using to eliminate some extra buzzing, you can see that he is still plucking the lowest two strings open quite often
In case he loses control of all dat hair
I can't even comprehend how you play your rendition and sing at the sing time. Too good
i miss you Gabe!!
Go follow his Insta, he is very active there! :)
Your music/covers/renditions never fades kuya Gabe! More covers to come! And congrats for building a one of a kind fam! With love from PH! Mahal kita! ❤️ My future wedding singer! ❤️🙋🏻
I'm gonna say it, better than Mayer's version
I really like the melodic variation on the pre-chorus
I mean Mayer's like the best rhythm guitarist I know but Gabe is really good- especially considering it's not in studio. and yeah Mayer accent is borderline incomprehensible lol. mostly I like this version cause the pre chorus melody makes more sense to me than Mayer's
Gabe has a better voice but that's not really what Mayer is about, he's an amazing artist. There's many people out there with great voices but not many people who can create songs like Mayer.
yeah of course I'm not comparing their song-writing, although I will say Gabe does have a few gems
Bro, what a great talent you have. keep touching lives. God bless you man.
Bro, your absolutely amazing! Like im just stunned! You deserve some recognition from the man himself, for covering his music so well! Your voice is incredible, as well as your guitar playing! Your an inspiration to all aspiring musicians thats for sure! Never Stop! Cheers!
John Mayer is one of my biggest inspirations in both music, and life in general. Although it is, of course, not my place - I get very protective over his music. I would just like to say that your covers are the most intriguing and beautifully crafted arrangements of the songs I live my life by. You amaze me, and inspire me in a different, but equally important way. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Loved this cover and the bit of For The First Time In Forever at the end!
Another Fantastic piece! Very beautiful!
