Yo everybody! I never expected this video to be watched by so many, thank you all so much. I want to let you know that I made a tutorial of how to play this jam which can be found at the link below :) ua-cam.com/video/ZBO9GN3zY2A/v-deo.html&
That subtle tag at 2:43 for “I don’t really understand” was dynamically perfect. Your playing is so vocal, I can almost hear Mayer singing as your notes ring out. You are a phenomenal player and I’m happy to listen whenever your videos are recommended!
I keep coming back for more, this is literally my hundredth time here. There is nothing I appreciate more than tasty, smooth, and satisfying guitar playing
Mayer himself said in one of his interviews about playing the guitar is that you can rip off his music in any way you like. As long as you have a good understanding about the guitar, go have fun with it or do it better than he did.
I've been playing guitar for 18 years and this might be one of the most beautiful things I have heard on the guitar. Expressive, in control, and it tells a story.
2:20. That final chord a few seconds later was perfect. You absolutely nailed that little harmony after the long 'hold on to whatever you've got baby' melody.
I used to manage one of the toughest Guitar Centers in the chain as far as I was aware. I used to escape back to the office and listen to this to cool off. Crazy nostalgic coming back and listening years later
This isn't just a cover of a song. You're putting your own soul into the music and making it your own. Please keep up the amazing work, i look forward to seeing more of your videos
I became so engrossed in this performance that my mouth was literally open and my eyes were transfixed. My ears could not believe the purity of what they were hearing. Fantastic job.
I've woken up in a cold sweat the last three nights after jolting awake from dreaming about his guitar tone. AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!! ITS SO MELLOW AND DYMANIC AND EXPRESSIVE WHY CANT I GET VISITED BY THE GUITAR TONE GODS? AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I have to sleep on the couch until I stop listening to his covers.
Hey Sean, just in case you ll ever read this, your playing is absolutely divine, you made me pick up my guitar and practice, thank you for the inspiration sir
I think why this is so appealing to me is because it's very gentle and usually you can't hear all those subtle details, but here you can, crystal clear, and they're all on purpose!
Your dynamic range is insane. Just stumbled on this channel, instantly subbed. If you keep with this you are gonna be a top guitar channel on you tube, guaranteed.
Can I tell you how many times I've listened to this on repeat? I found this video years ago when I was going through a dark time in my life and the beauty of the somber interpretation of this song struck a chord with me inside. Thanks for sharing.
This is just.........sorry I was distracted by the heavenly sound coming from...........sorry I drifted off to heaven again. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Hands down
thats only partially true tho, if its the way he sounds in all his covers, then it could be his setup, because hes doing it all the time. Yes everyone has a slightly different tone, but the guitar is like a piano, and unlike a horn. it sounds pretty much the same no matter who is playing it, if you're doing it the same way. It's not like a horn where everyone sounds very different, even on the same horn.
Subtlety in this playing style always blows me away. I spend a lifetime trying to truly hear understand and master it. Not even close to achieving that yet. Well done!
I recently started listening to more of John Mayer's music (specifically his live performance at the Nokia Theatre in L.A.), but I had yet to hear this song. Your version is just as, if not more beautiful than John's. You're sound is incredibly soothing which makes it the perfect music to have playing while I sit back, relax, and think about life :)
Wow.... I'm not a fast player. Not at all. But I love to play melodically and try to put as much feeling into it as possible. You are really a role model for me my friend! You remind my why I love music so much. I guess I really need to work on some chord theory thought as I seem to lack of ideas.
LOL I actually thought it was John Mayer playing, didn't realize until I scrolled down.. At the start I was thinking "oh wow yeah this is why John Mayer is so amazing"
can't decide how I want to phrase my disbelief. Just wow. You took this already incredible song and just took it to a whole different level. Congratulations, Mayer would be proud.
I would love to hear you do a cover of Sleepwalk by santo and johnny. Ive commented before how much i love your channel, and i feel like your playing would be awesome to hear a variation, and maybe even your own twists.
So here I am, trying to show my best friend, @losangelesguitarist, this fabulous cover and he goes: this is my favorite cover! He already knew it... Of course, we play it, instant goose bumps.. Again, great job Sean!

So much soul. I'm in love with your interpretation of this song. It's one of my fav by JM. Cheers!
Sean Angus Watson
GTFO - yes. Thank you mate!!
Shut up and keep playing the guitar, punk.
Sean Angus Watson good job man ! Hard work and patience pays off !!!
You are incredible. Definitely 1 m in a couple years
The SFPM (stank face per minute) rate when listening to you play this is off the charts my dude
This is a quality metric
Lmao literally
Still here 5 years later ! And its still the most beautiful cover ever !! 🎉
That SG is gorgeous and the dynamics in your playing is next level. Absolutely love it. Cheers for the inspiration.
arent you supposed to be in the surgery room opening skulls up? lol jk
KyleNoelMusic bahaha had so many comments like that recently 😂
wow im so glad to hear that i honestly thought you wouldnt get it haha apparently the good doctor really was a hit
Yeah, it blew up in Australia! Hahah
test
this inspired me to get better at guitar, thanks man
Wtf u doing here
so... are you better at guitar yet?
How long did it last?
Come back mate
4 years later, how's it going ?
Lovely stuff man, your dynamic control is next level!
That subtle tag at 2:43 for “I don’t really understand” was dynamically perfect. Your playing is so vocal, I can almost hear Mayer singing as your notes ring out.
You are a phenomenal player and I’m happy to listen whenever your videos are recommended!
This man is a master and I do not say that lightly
I keep coming back for more, this is literally my hundredth time here.
There is nothing I appreciate more than tasty, smooth, and satisfying guitar playing
Dude... pleeeease keep the JM covers coming. There is loads of material he has that you would absolutely rock with your beautiful style
okay :)
This guy said exactly what all of us JM fans are thinking. Holy Chris dude, you're seriously skilled.
PLEASE!
Slow dancing in a burning room!
Sean Angus Watson let's get some Vultures
My six month old baby has been crying for a while and I just put this on and gave him a hug and he has fallen asleep! THANK YOU!!!!
matt6288joyce did you sing to him in a sweet little lullaby voice..... “I don’t trust myself with loving you”?
Haha! I didn’t put him through the torture of hearing me sing haha
To this day, I've not heard anyone play with the same touch and expression. Perfect tone and flawless playing.
Came here to say the same thing. I've been following this bloke for about 5 years and my opinion still stands.
@@barteklewandowski4211 Todd Pritchard is probably one of the closest guitarist to have this kind of playing and expression definitely not very many
The amount of times I have revisited this. Beautiful
I wonder if John mayer has seen this. I imagine it would induce an emotional response
he would be wondering why HE didn't do it like that 😋
as far as i know, he liked it on instagram
Mayer himself said in one of his interviews about playing the guitar is that you can rip off his music in any way you like. As long as you have a good understanding about the guitar, go have fun with it or do it better than he did.
@@35PHaaton yup, spot on.
Very few people will be aware of how elite this playing truly is.
I've been playing guitar for 18 years and this might be one of the most beautiful things I have heard on the guitar. Expressive, in control, and it tells a story.
This has got to be the most underrated cover of any John Mayer song I’ve ever heard
3:30 is one of the tastiest licks I've heard, well done
Indeed
So simple yet so complex. 6 years later and this video still hits!!!
That muted lick at 2:12 is gorgeous. Incredible playing, dynamics are amazing. Cheers
2:20. That final chord a few seconds later was perfect. You absolutely nailed that little harmony after the long 'hold on to whatever you've got baby' melody.
Incredibly delicate touch that was awesome , all those micro bends and soft articulations sound so beautiful
I used to manage one of the toughest Guitar Centers in the chain as far as I was aware. I used to escape back to the office and listen to this to cool off.
Crazy nostalgic coming back and listening years later
I love that the guitar looks so damn aggressive but the tone and sound is so gentle.
This is by far the most elegantly played cover I’ve ever seen. Sounds phenomenal!!!!
This isn't just a cover of a song. You're putting your own soul into the music and making it your own. Please keep up the amazing work, i look forward to seeing more of your videos
Man you playing gives some serious vibes!
Very rare that I like someone's playing first time, but hot damn! Some tasty choices in there man, and the tone is bang on.
I became so engrossed in this performance that my mouth was literally open and my eyes were transfixed. My ears could not believe the purity of what they were hearing. Fantastic job.
Beautiful phrasing, tone and control of dynamics. Very refreshing to see this kind of attention to detail -- well done!
I've woken up in a cold sweat the last three nights after jolting awake from dreaming about his guitar tone. AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!! ITS SO MELLOW AND DYMANIC AND EXPRESSIVE WHY CANT I GET VISITED BY THE GUITAR TONE GODS? AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I have to sleep on the couch until I stop listening to his covers.

this is absolutely insane. everything about it is perfect honestly,
Just can't stop listening to this SG tune. Amazing!!!
Your dynamic range is insane. Just stumbled on this channel, instantly subbed. If you keep with this you are gonna be a top guitar channel on you tube, guaranteed.
thank you so much!
Still holds true dude, SO goood man!
i don’t understand who’s dislikes this kind of videos ... 10 years old kids?
Pure magic man, great job !
Buiuc Dragos Andrei dood listen to som real music.. like lil pump esketittt 😜😝👌
scuttle buttin You’re right, dude ! Lil pump is a must. 🤮🤮🤮
Buiuc Dragos Andrei yeah my dude
That low-end growl from the P90 is life... awesome dynamics and playing man!
still watching this in 2019. ugh so good.
Oh men. I have played this video my whole day. So much feeling and great dynamics.
Can I tell you how many times I've listened to this on repeat? I found this video years ago when I was going through a dark time in my life and the beauty of the somber interpretation of this song struck a chord with me inside. Thanks for sharing.
This is just.........sorry I was distracted by the heavenly sound coming from...........sorry I drifted off to heaven again. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Hands down
I love the glassy strat-like tone you get with those P90s, sounds great
I've watched quite a lot of John Mayer covers, and I would go as far as saying this is my favorite one I've ever heard.
you gotta do a setup video, love the tone you have going.
Austin Macdonald Its not his set up. He sounds like this on anything. David Gilmour is the same way. Its in his hands.
heck yeah
So the real question is how do you get your hands to sound like that.
practice my friend
thats only partially true tho, if its the way he sounds in all his covers, then it could be his setup, because hes doing it all the time. Yes everyone has a slightly different tone, but the guitar is like a piano, and unlike a horn. it sounds pretty much the same no matter who is playing it, if you're doing it the same way. It's not like a horn where everyone sounds very different, even on the same horn.
one of those gems that you listen to on repeat right here
A+ Class playing. Incredible work man. Smoothest dynamics I've heard in a while. John would be proud.
This is so tight- praises.
redbone brought me to your page. this video got my subscription. great content! Love your tone and that SG is Gorgeous!
thanks very much for your support mate, cheers!
How anyone could dislike this is beyond me. Some of the cleanest playing I've ever heard.
This is FEELING. And I preffer feeling than speed, so much more....
Subtlety in this playing style always blows me away. I spend a lifetime trying to truly hear understand and master it. Not even close to achieving that yet.
Well done!
This may be the nicest tone I’ve ever heard
That blues arpeggio you do at 3:30 is so clean man
Man, I keep coming back to this, year after year. Such beautiful tone, so sensitive, just magic.
I love how you're playing emulates vocals so well. Amazing job. Keep it coming!!!
One of the most wonderful guitar tones ive heard.
mate, this is really good. Your timing and feel are exceptional. Keep em coming
This has gotten me out of a lot of bad mental states. It just gives me peace. Thank you.
I recently started listening to more of John Mayer's music (specifically his live performance at the Nokia Theatre in L.A.), but I had yet to hear this song. Your version is just as, if not more beautiful than John's. You're sound is incredibly soothing which makes it the perfect music to have playing while I sit back, relax, and think about life :)
Man, this is great playing!
This is superb, not to mention your dynamics are spot on. Well done!
The combination of taste and technically is truly A+. Really achieved something here Sean. And of course, thank you for sharing ❤
Wow....
I'm not a fast player. Not at all. But I love to play melodically and try to put as much feeling into it as possible. You are really a role model for me my friend! You remind my why I love music so much.
I guess I really need to work on some chord theory thought as I seem to lack of ideas.
Great stuff mate. Absolutely lovely.
I love this whole thing but my all time favorite part of this starts at 1:57 and ends at 2:25
I agree, beautiful phrasing
Tone is simple yet beautiful. Dialed in beautifully, played beautifully, just wow
LOL I actually thought it was John Mayer playing, didn't realize until I scrolled down.. At the start I was thinking "oh wow yeah this is why John Mayer is so amazing"
That tone is incredible. By far my favorite cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Please keep the John Mayer coming!
I’ve been watching this since last week, at least twice per day. Dude, you’re awesome, what a fantastic video! Congrats!
can't decide how I want to phrase my disbelief. Just wow. You took this already incredible song and just took it to a whole different level. Congratulations, Mayer would be proud.
I want to be mad that you're playing a Mayer song on an SG but goddamn you killed it man.
Justin Gonzalez this made me lol, thank you!
this is absolutely insane. everything about it is perfect honestly
2:43 makes me wanna BUST
I keep coming back to this song, great work!
This was the sexiest guitar playing I have ever watched.
I am speechless! This is absolutely incredible! Your bends are flawless! So tasteful too! Just amazing! Thank you for putting this out!
I would love to hear you do a cover of Sleepwalk by santo and johnny. Ive commented before how much i love your channel, and i feel like your playing would be awesome to hear a variation, and maybe even your own twists.
Holy cow.... this is so mellow and well-done... wow...just wow...
This is fantastic. Keep the videos coming. I’d rather listen to this than the original.
ahhh thank you so much!
marcusthemonkey watch it, sir
I don't even know what to say except for thank you for sharing this, it's beautiful.
Tone really is in the fingers. That was so clean it hurt.
Seriously, that tone is sensational! Brilliant playing.
I watch this video at least once a day...
cheers man, I appreciate it!
I just can’t stop listening to it: it makes me dream, makes me feel good. You’ve got magic in your hands!
download link? really need to listen to this offline when im on my way to uni :D
Are you German?
Never heard this tone and playing style on an SG, just amazing.
John would be proud
so much flow in your playing, its like you're singing through the guitar
Smoother than a baby's bottom.
I heard that somewhere in a UA-cam idk which one tho xD
@@itsbrendoni yeh that is a thing
@_ NEGAN _ functional illiteracy and where to find it
*Joe Biden has joined the chat*
This is a fantastic display of the fact that your fingers are more powerful than any pedal board!
So sweet!
So much feeling. I'm amazed of your works. Inspiring.
How do you create that warm sound?
I've been playing for 20 plus years, very rarely am I impressed anymore....but this is amazing! Please do some more Mayer!
So here I am, trying to show my best friend, @losangelesguitarist, this fabulous cover and he goes: this is my favorite cover!
He already knew it...
Of course, we play it, instant goose bumps..
Again, great job Sean!
It's wonderful!!! So beautiful and clean! Wow!
god that p90 has gorgeous low end
TDJZ14 the p90 was vaulted in the latest patch.
Angel sure but it doesn’t shine as much in this
I love your dynamic playing and feel!!
I want to know your gear!! I'm in love with the sound!
