You forgot to say "good evening"
True af. Can't hear this song without it 😂😂😂
Digne is a fraud
😂
😂
haha
My god. This is flawless.
You should cover this too!
Oh youre here God
it's actually missing QUITE a few of the notes and progression on the scale mayer uses for this song. It's a very loosely but WELL captured rendition. It's a youtube video, not anything good.
Not really flawless, listen at 2:32
@@skaywalker20 yeah, he missed 3 notes at 2:34. I'm still correct and you prove you can't hear well enough to be a real musician.
This is how John Mayer learned this song.
*Bold comment*
Bold as love
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Haven’t laughed so hard at a comment in a long time 😂. Honestly might be best laugh. 10/10 👍🏽. Keep up the good work and originality.
John did this while singing
Only two humans have ever played that exactly like that.
@Fernando The Hacker yes
*one. He is john mayer in disguise 🤫😂
well you haven't heard of will trotman i suppose....
ua-cam.com/video/sf17osuWTnA/v-deo.html I found him and also sings it, which adds greater difficulty, without a doubt a great song that puts us to the test, greetings
@@charlyvillegas7541 how do u know hes singing it at the same time
After years of really hard work, I finally got that jacket
Dude!! Share!! Please!!🙏🙏
😂
🤣🤣🤣
This is perfect. Just perfect!!
Yes

Jk I love you cole

He played the intro wrong
LMAO. he doesn't show his face because its John Mayer
But he does :(
@@NotEUSA then its all over
the chest hair says no he isn't
@@yxw9104 The chest hair said Hi
No, its Leo Eymard
The legend tells that one day a man would do an almost perfect neon cover, here it is
when does he say that?
I would like your comment, but you're at 420 likes :p
The only thing missing...john...
Well...I’d agree, but every cover I see always lacks one thing, the singing.
The sad thing it still lacks the lyrics.
i don't know why but everytime the actual neon starts i still hear the crowd screaming
@@Hazybunk no its cuz the intro is improvised so they dont recognize it, but when the neon riff comes in they recognize it. i rly doubt anybody who doesnt play guitar in that audience would have any clue how hard neon is to play
@@connorlee9242 lol meanwhile I’m struggling to play wish you were here. This guys did an amazing cover
The audience probably didn't know what he was about to play. He just started noodling and then SURPRISE Neon.
Good evening
I will never understand so long as I live how he can play this and sing it simultaneously and never skip a beat. Mayer is an absolute machine and it’s incredible.
Its easy to sing, once you've practised this song enough to play it this well, the fingers do the job by themselves singing over it is a breeze
@@Ash-fm6ym then you do it
@@AnxiousSoul he is saying that learning the songs itself on the guitar is hard but not the singing part, not that its easy.
His true genius is time. John Mayer is a master of time. For him singing over this is nothing.
@@Ash-fm6ym no it isnt. Doesn't matter how well you know it, singing over it makes it even more difficult. Don't pretend like you have any idea.
Why does John Mayer need a second youtube account?

I didn’t see who posted the video initially, I had to check to see that it wasn’t actually John Mayer 👀
He's missing the palms slaps though. I mean it's great but it's not how John Mayer plays it.
Copy/paste comment
Watchmojo Top 10 conspiracies:
1.) Jamie Harrison is John Mayer
What's even more insane than how good this cover is, is the fact John Mayer plays this while singing... insanity.
Yup
Mayer also plays it in one take, live, without editing after the intro. It really is insane.
People confuse difficult guitar parts as also being hard to sing over. Thre are way "simpler" guitar parts that are absolute nightmares to sing over because of the counter rhythms needing to be juggled.
Not a guitar song (although I've made an arrangement myself), but brick by Ben folds five sounds simple to sing over but it's insanely hard.
I don't think anyone can ever truly replicate another guitarist's lick, because that artist puts so much of themselves into it and no one can ever truly emulate another that well. This is as close as anyone will ever get to John's Live In LA rendition of Neon. I tip my hat off to this brother that not only played it well, but played it as himself.
Fully agreed
ivan hunter would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons live version of this at open mic last night. Would really appreciate your opinion ua-cam.com/video/W2dmLkOjrJE/v-deo.html
Brenda Hawkins I am very impressed. Definitely something he should be proud of

@meme is my life Okay 😂👍
This man has even got the crab thumb technique down.
He has the magic thumb!
Plot twist !
Ladies and gentlemen this is, indeed, the wet dream of every guitar player
This guy's got a pretty solid jacket game
Innit!
Hands down the most accurate replication. Period. Thanks for showing us where the light is Jamie!
zaykayree seriously. This guy is so crazy legit. Mimic’s Mayer’s crazy right hand slap/picking too
Paul Davids' is up there too
Jano Mendoza I’m a big fan of Paul David’s and I’ve learned a lot from him but I always felt like for this song his right hand was too... loose... the finger picking was more like regular finger picking... it doesn’t have the same kind of pulsating drive as it should in my opinion, which Jamie has nailed here...
Thanks for the references guys! I’ll be sure to check them out!
Yeah Paul David’s is good coz it mentions the grace notes which I don’t think JM always plays live, but this is soooo crispy and delicious 👌Jamie ftw
Thank you all so much for your amazing comments! :) So glad you've been enjoying the video! :) For anyone who wants to learn this song I uploaded the lesson to my website here:bit.ly/3qZPYCs I will warn you though, this song is not for beginners... and just so you know... your patience is gonna feel like it's squatting a 200kg barbell on a tightrope the day after leg day... with one leg... while crying... and someone is tickling you... Brace yourself :-D
This comment made my day, and I think your lessons will be on my wish list for Xmas.
Lol
I've listened to hundreds of different attempts at this song, and I've never once seen a cover of this that got the TRUE 'feel' of the song. Until now!!
Just wow man!
Thats because this "cover " is john mayer playing
Juan Fuller absolutely true!
Paul David's is also very goodd
@@brothersandsisterscobrothe9250 true
Juan Fuller he’s gotta sing to it for it to be the perfect cover
This is the only cover I could find that is as accurate and authentic as the original!! I decided to buy the lesson a few days ago and I am blown away by it!! I am having an absolute blast learning this song.
Cleanest Neon cover I've seen. Took many years for it to finally come. John Mayer, what a beast. And Jamie too, well played.
How Jamie Harrison makes a video:
Step 1.) Put on a cool ass jacket
Step 2.) Play some John Mayer
Step 3.) Upload and win all the women (and men)
Step 4. ) Repeat.
Mostly men
This is true
Tell me dude isn’t that the greatest acoustic on the planet!?
no
I’m pretty sure there’s better. Alexandr misko for example
@@drperkyreal4686 Have you played an 814?
@@theguitarclubonline I tried the 814 and the 414, took the 414 because its basically the same thing just loses the 'fancy' stuff.
Put the rest i saved toward a silver sky ;)
Try a furch guitar. It's on a whole other level.
This man is amazing. So far, I've purchased Little Wing, Bold as Love and Slow Dancing lessons and I must say it was worth my money. The quality and the attention to detail was exceptional in every lesson. I think these lessons are the fastest way to learn Mayer/Hendrix's style. These tracks can be challenging but Jamie make it as easy as it can be. If you really want to step up in your guitar playing, his video courses are probably the best way to go, so do not hesitate.
Thanks so much for posting that comment Alex! :) Really appreciate the kind words brother, and really glad to hear you loved the lessons ;)
Can confirm. You'll learn to play sweet songs and learn all the dynamics and "little tweaks" that makes them sound and feel AMAZING. And the man is irish, so you get to hear that crisp accent while learning - Surely that alone is worth the money
Looks easy 😏
paid advertisement?
Absolutely not, I wouldn’t dream of paying for a review. Here’s a screenshot of Alexis’ purchase to show you this is absolutely genuine: drive.google.com/file/d/18FdNZdZkXeJUUGWJIBh0amVQddg6Lyoo/view?usp=drivesdk
I can actually hear the crowd go wild right after that slide...
The guitar is paid actor
That guitar costs more than my car

*FOR YOU TO SING ALONG :*
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
Gooood
That's what i'm Looking for! hihi
YES
It's missing, "Good Evening" at the start 😂
I had this on auto play while I was doing homework. I thought it was the audio from the live in LA show. Then I realized there was no audience sound. Certainly had me fooled!
I actually bought this lesson and it literally changed my life
You mean cause you had to study so hard that your life basically became Neon?
@@Stoffendous That’s me right now lol. I bought his lesson for neon and all I do all day is practice
Only John Mayer can play that last chord of the riff with his thumb like that.
umm. i can, should i be concerned?
@@angus9558 no you cant only johnny can :/
Keep in mind john is doing this while singing...
The amount of effort that went into making this genuine and right is absolutely blowing my mind. I couldn’t imagine how hard it was to learn this entire thing the exact way he did it
His playing is cleaner than all good deeds i've done in my life
His right thumb looks like it has an extra joint.
At 0:05 I can do that
slap the guitar
Do Belief live in LA pleaseee
YESSSSS
That would be flippin awesome, i’d definitely buy that off him
The 2007 crossroads version is way better imho.
That would be sweeet. Some lovely guitar playing in that song.
Would be cool, but there’s not too much to that song. It’s actually not that hard to play compared to this insanity.
This is what happens when you sell your soul to John Mayer.
Now do the voice, and I'm sold.
Oh - to be a guitarist with strangely stubby thumbs. Putting most Mayer and many Hendrix songs literally out of my paltry reach.
That bassline is GROOVY.
Yeah, that rocks quite a bit ;) and even more delightful with good headphones Gosh!
Jesus, you nailed the riff without dislocating your thumb!
I don't get what's so hard about the thumb thing.... just practice for like a couple days and it's more than flexible enough. I barely use my index finger to bar anything, always my thumb so it was pretty natural for me...
@@SatanClaus69 i think its not even an issue of the thumb its an issue of whether your fingers aare long enough or if your palm is big enough to wrap around the neck easier.
@@mdub2000 yeah, because I have no trouble with that lick, because I have very big hands, where as I know other guitar players who really struggle and change the finger placement up on some of the chords
@@trey_a yeah i have to do exactly that ......i mean i manage to do it but i can see how much easier it would be to play and sing if my thumb was wrapped around the whole time.
Never clicked on a video faster
Same man, same
Ha. No shit man. As soon as i got a notification he uploaded i clicked it. I wouldn't have cared if he covered The Price is Right theme song , i was going to listen 🤣
@@JohnnyHellraiser this faster ? Ok guy
The only thing missing from the original version is a Martin...other than that, this is spot on! Great work!
well that Martin Stagecoach is 11 grand. This Taylor is probably like a 600 or 800 series. Considerably less and affordable at a mere 4 grand haha
Well, John uses the Stagecoach for the Born and Raised and Paradise Valley songs. He plays Neon on the OMJM. The original goes for like 10-12K and the regulars go for like 3-4K. The Stagecoach goes for like 7K and is impossible to play neon on that one since it has a huuuuuuge neck.
Marcelo Stephani He plays Neon on the OM28JM
that little intro groove is literally one of my favorite things ever
Most youtube guitar teachers just learn songs so they can teach them. Jamie learned this so he could play it, and then graciously decided to teach it. There is a significant difference. This is perfect
Cleanest I’ve seen so far. Congrats! Now to buy this lesson...
Show your face bruh!!!
I feel like you’re John Mayer
🤣🤣🤣

Just 12 million more views and you’ll catch Johnny. Great job man. You’re playing is outstanding. Thx for sharing your version of Mr. Mayer s masterpiece.
0:30 the hardest part of the song by far is getting this transition between the two grooves right. There is this sort of bounce you have pull off. You gotta listen to the og version. It’s ridiculous.
You are the best when it comes to John Mayer tutorials
I was gonna look for one tinniest mistake as a joke, but there literally are NONE!
i think theres a wrong note in the chord at 4:11 sadly
Bad Hombre he skipped the second verse (“tonight she’s out to lose herself...”) after the first pre-chorus completely, but I guess maybe it would have started to feel repetitive.
1:03 is what you came for, but you'll stay for the whole video

As tremendous as this is, imagine then adding vocals?
Can you just please do the the entire live in L.A. Album? Your Covers and Lessons are just so amazingly good!
When someone is this tight covering john mayer you know they know what they're doing. This guy is a master
This is the most accurate cover of neon I've ever seen.
Absolutely flawless!
Was thinking of buying the Taylor 814CE, I guess you sold it for me. Fucking hell this is amazing, good job man!!
tfw ur hands are not physically big enough to play this song...
Wow. Crushed it as usual. Your lessons are basically guitar heaven. Stoked to try this one!
I have never expected a perfect cover of neon or thought of one. Goodness gracious, Jamie! BTW, here before 1M views
Ohhhh that feels good. Haha good job, bro.

This is exactly how john mayer plays it , you were even ready to dislocate your thumb for this
No, it isn't actually. The technique is the same but the structure of the song is completely off.
You forgot the "GOOD EVENING" at the beginning... 'just kidding =)
Excellent playing skills!
only reason we know its not John Mayer is cause JM would never use a taylor!!!
AhsokaTano martins baby!
@@josuermorales all the way. But this guy makes this taylor sound pretty damn good haha
John would be proud af
He is definitely subscribed to this channel. John mayer once said that he sits for hours and watches covers of his songs on UA-cam.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff where'd you get that from
It’s all fun and games until you play the intro without a cutaway body
So I've spent about 20 hours learning the main melody and here is what I have learned: YOU NEED to play the strings with only your thumb and index finger, as Jamie does here. I tried to cheat and do finger picking, but it just doesn't have that same percussive effect. Also try to play the chords as shown in the video, using your thumb, you get used to the stretch after a while, ultimately using your thumb increases the speed.
When did John Mayer start going by the Alias Jamie Harrison?
I am searching eBay for large left thumbs for sale (buy now), when this video is finished.
Please do the guitar solo from “I guess I just feel like” - John Mayer 😍
Not saying that I've watched this 30 times or anything, but...
I've watched this 50 times and added it to my playlist.
Watching his right thumb move the way it does, gives me Motion sickness 😅 and depression😂
This guy suddenly goes crazy without saying “good evening”
Damn, that was clean. Best cover of Neon I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a few!)
That ES2 sounds great blended with the mic btw. Really impressive pickup.
Léo eymard - neon
I can’t emphasize enough how good this is. You have a true gift man. I’m glad that you’ve leaned in to it and are also using it to teach others. Keep up the great work👍
Never heard a better cover of neon like this. You are Insane

I’m not saying Jamie and John are the same person, but has anybody ever seen Jamie and John in the same room?
Jamie Harrison Guitar does not upload often, but when he does
It's frickin' great
I was the 666th like. 🤘
Now no one should like this commentt
I never thought I'd be able to play this song until I purchased Jamie's course on Neon. Best cover and tutorial of this song on the internet; I highly recommend it.
I started watching this thinking it was John Mayer playing. Such an accurate cover, great job!
First on a Jamie Harrison video. Now that is epic
I agree
I just bought the lesson for this song from Jamie's site and I must truly say it is completely worth every penny. I'm not a beginner in playing guitar, but neighter a pro. I wasn't familiar with the picking technique john uses for this song, but Jamie explains it just perfectly, step by step. If you realy want to learn this song, Jamies lessons are by far the best thing you can find on the internet. It will take some time till i get used to this technique and maybe someday master it, but I got the best requirements
Holy shit!!!!! This has to be JM on an inspired day!
Messy noise jmo. Guess that’s why I can’t fucking stand jazz sounds like just a mess of notes throwin everywhere with no flow and no melody…. Talented yes....I’d much rather listen to Eric Johnson thou. Again. Jmo
Many other versions are good but this is by far the best and cleanest version. You wouldn’t be able to tell that it wasn’t John Mayer if you didn’t know.
Well,I might be able to tell if its John Mayer or someone else based on the guitar tone.John always goes for Martin guitars whenever it comes to playing acoustic music : )
Perfect as expected. Great Job Jamie. What gauge strings are you using on that Taylor?
What exactly is that tapping technique right in the beginning at 0:05?
Cole Buck all you do is slap with the finger with force and quickly put your hand off
Think imma learn the whole song now. I learnt how to play the main riff
Holy God, I never knew how amazing this song was on a musical level until I just kept listening to it and then I was like, "why is this song so amazing? , maybe because it's so technical.."
and yeah.. It actually is.
John Mayer is not just a little bitch musician trying to get pussy, he's actually a very talented guitar player that can create work like this that is just.. So awesome words can't even describe it. Just another brilliant mark left in history.
Godly playing man, maybe we can get In Your Atmosphere?
I've been learning this song for like a half a year and I'm in 1:53. And I can tell you one thing. This song in pain in the a**. It seems easy but the part in 1:53 is wery hard.
I've finally mastered this song :)
This guys has John Mayers's 5 ft long thumbs and I envy him lol, I still have problems reaching the 6th string with my thumb in the final chord of the riff, man this cover is flawless
I can't use my thumb, so i use the ring finger.
Same, but thumb really makes it so much easier
Lol yeah okay John you can take the disguise off now 😂
who else imagines the crowd cheering in their head when the main riff comes in
“This is beautiful...I’ve looked at this for hours now”
