Although the John Mayer influences are pretty clear, you got your own style. I love your phrasing. As Mayer himself said, “you develop your own style when you’re trying to sound like your idols”. Keep the videos coming, they’re 🔥.
John Mayer and Coldplay are two of my all time favourites, legit lifesavers, and both of them combined like this!!! Maybe if they see this they might decide on a collaboration!
What you did was better than showing us what it would be like if it was Mayer’s solo. You showed us his influence in your style, which is exemplary. Excellent job.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND THIS TO JONNYBOY AND JOHN MAYER?!!! THIS COVER SLAPS!!! Thanks for playing this, Hudson. I appreciate it. Sincerely, A big John Mayer and Coldplay fan
oh my gosh! that walkdown at 1:08 is blowing my mind. It has been hurting my head with its beauty for months now and I just want to say how amazing it is. Thanks for inspiring me.
This is if John Mayer played a solo on Fix You... when Fix You actually came out. You've nailed the 03-05 "As/Is" type of solo work he did. Very impressed.
Seriously, Hudson. You’ve been my biggest inspiration lately. I’ve let my guitar playing fall by the wayside and watching your vids is reviving that fire. I’ll be paying tribute to you in my upcoming projects 💪
Sorry it took so long to discover you but that was worthy of an instant sub! Had to check out the rest of your videos too and your playing is top tier, 2nd only to Mayer himself in my book. So dynamic, tasteful, and full of feel. I'd pay good money to see you play live someday!
Excellent work. Sounds to me like John Mayer doing a “The Midnight” rendition of a solo to play over Fix You. Listen to their song “Sunset” for reference.
What an incredible playing and interpretation my man. I just saved the link video to give it a try at home and see what happens. Your playing made me smile right away :) let the music be your path and bring extreme versions of joy to you and everyone in the world!
Mr. Davis is a true genius. Artistically and technically gifted far, far beyond his years. Can’t wait to see where he goes from here.
This means the world to me. Thank you so much!

1:09 most melodic lick i ever heard, sounds like a rainbow😭
Incredible, this is one of the best solos I have ever heard in my life.
My god... The descending lick at around the 1:09 mark, was incredible. Your presumably many hours of practice is really shining through here. Love it!
Killer lick… Grabbed me too 👍
It was amazing. Although it was a more John Petrucci-esque than Mayer
@@var1410 100% I was teleported to a Liquid Tension Experiment album during that lick
what do you call that style?
@@matthewdaniel15 me too

Now this is a crossover we didnt know we needed! Coldplay + johns incredible guitar playing - weird faces = perfection
What you did was better than showing us what it would be like if it was Mayer’s solo. You showed us his influence in your style, which is exemplary. Excellent job.
This is easily one of the most beautiful solos I've ever heard. The original song is special, but you completely made it your own solo... Wow!!!
Everybody talking about the licks and the feelings, but that it's a killer tone! Sweet and delicious!
Annoying, you are
Dude , I never leave comments...this is gorgeous well done, great tone ,note selection and just...just wow.
Dude!!! I been playing for 20 years and this is really up there with the greats!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND THIS TO JONNYBOY AND JOHN MAYER?!!! THIS COVER SLAPS!!! Thanks for playing this, Hudson. I appreciate it.

Makes me wanna smile and cry at the same time.
out of this world phrasing
Always something extraordinary from you Hudson. You're the future of electric guitar. Love your deep, emotional build ups followed by cool licks!
Thank you very much!!
I loved the sweet David Gilmour like bends at 1:00.
Dude knows whats good.
This solo honestly is so amazing, i can sing a long to the whole thing basically, its just that memorable! truly epic shit
Really well done. Nice.
If we’re being honest, “Face to Call Home” is pretty close to Mayer’s version of “Fix You”
word
Epic bridges
Nice catch Joey. It felt a lot like the instrumental bridge before " Maybe i could stay i while, im talking like all of the time"
oh my gosh! that walkdown at 1:08 is blowing my mind. It has been hurting my head with its beauty for months now and I just want to say how amazing it is. Thanks for inspiring me.
Your choices and feelings are special. Make just more of these covers, make this emotional pop-rock music explode! Go go go ❤️
Not only do I hear Mayer but there’s elements of Clapton, Frusciante, maybe even a little SRV too. All wrapped up into one totally unique style.
Best improvisation ever,,
This is if John Mayer played a solo on Fix You... when Fix You actually came out. You've nailed the 03-05 "As/Is" type of solo work he did. Very impressed.
Love this! That tempo and progression really bring out something human. Bravo!
WOW! just that man...
That was sheer brilliance! GOODNESS.
Mr Hudson I must tell you that I come back to this video every once in a while just to enjoy this solo... It's awesome!
great playing but its the tone that god me hooked, that guitar sounds absolutely gorgeous
One word
*Spectacular*
Amazed by the solo
john mayer would be proud hearing this
Heartened vibes man
Seriously, Hudson. You’ve been my biggest inspiration lately. I’ve let my guitar playing fall by the wayside and watching your vids is reviving that fire. I’ll be paying tribute to you in my upcoming projects 💪
Ok, I'm beginning to take real interest in John Mayer today, I went to see Coldplay live last week and now this. What a time to be alive ^^
I was thinking "maybe John Mayer *should* play Fix You" but to be honest that would do you injustice after seeing this one. Well done!
Gorgeous Mayerization of Fix You, faces and all!
Giving you a standing ovation from my living room. Brilliant!
I keep coming back to this vid. It would be soo freaking cool if you got to do this solo live whit Coldplay.
Feels similar to All I Want It's To Be With You. You absolutely crushed this man
Glorious!
This is one of the best solos I’ve heard in a while
Beautiful phrasing
1:14 the Mayerness is off the charts
Doesn't really sound like Mayer. This just sounds like you and you play exceptionally well. Hats off to you my dude
Fantastic! 0:35-0:40 especially is godly.
Sorry it took so long to discover you but that was worthy of an instant sub! Had to check out the rest of your videos too and your playing is top tier, 2nd only to Mayer himself in my book. So dynamic, tasteful, and full of feel. I'd pay good money to see you play live someday!
Nailed it! Hope JM sees this!
Feeling this... its insanely good..
i cant stop listening this!!!!
It also reminds me a bit of Adam Granduciel’s style, so double kudos!
Hudson, Sir, I'm not even kidding. I have come back to this video for the nth time already.
“If Hudson Davis played Fix You”🔥🔥
Feeling so Mayer. Great
Excellent work. Sounds to me like John Mayer doing a “The Midnight” rendition of a solo to play over Fix You. Listen to their song “Sunset” for reference.
Nice job! Mayer would be happy!
1:15 from his ain’t no sunshine version
You legend
I'll take another 9 minutes of this solo please. Great job man, you're fantastic
That lick starting at 0:35 seconds in to 40 seconds is so damn good!!
Funnily enough UA-cam did it’s usual trick of going black screen. So I heard this in a dark room. Brilliant
my goodness, sounds so good!
Oh man. You bring my soul joy.
This is a masterpiece
When it said “~ -_~~~~~~~-__-_-“. I felt that.
That was AMAZING and tastefully done, I didn't want it to ever stop ❤️
Never noticed 😂😂 but realised after watching this that John really does uses pauses alot and hammer ons. ❤️
That was awesome ! Brilliant work
You get my upvote that was meant for John Mayer.
Dude you crushed it!
MAN PLEASE THE FULL VERSION OF THIS WE NEED IT!
Dude that's not if John Mayer played Fix You. That's if Hudson Davis played Fix You. I enjoyed every bit! Thank you for doing this
Love it, incredible playing!
So accurate. Well done. In fact I would love to listen to the original song with your solo. I really liked it.
What an incredible playing and interpretation my man. I just saved the link video to give it a try at home and see what happens. Your playing made me smile right away :) let the music be your path and bring extreme versions of joy to you and everyone in the world!
This. is. insanely. good.
love how he keeps that pinky out of it just like Jmay
Spot on, man. Awesome
This is out of this world! Wow! Best from Mexico City
holy shit, i love both mayer and coldplay, this is a sick mashup!!
Tbf, I think that was more if you played fix you. Amazing !
Damn! That tone is right on the spot
You are incredible! Tone is beautiful, but your skills are insanely good. This solo could easily be in the top 10 solos of the decade 💪🏻
Just saw him in TO and i wish he played a solo this complete and coherent!!
i love it man! that makes the pentatonic scale so powerful!
Wonderful 👏
Please upload more, Love your playing and its very inspiring towards me
nice! sounds like him! you know john mayer very well!
Killed it!
This showed up in my recommended. Glad it did. Great job!
Bloody brilliant.
Wonderful!!
Try to close my eyes while listening to your guitar melody and yes, Jhon Mayer appears in my mind..
U just make me cry 😢❤ amazing brother!
Love them both
Excellent. Great phrasing
that was tight, great tone too, accentuated your playing
WOW. That was mega mate! That version should be on the charts!
Love the triplet lick at 46 secs in
i love the licks
what a great tone ❤
