I hear a lot of Mark Knopfler in there, and that's a very cool thing.
What gauge strings are you using mate?
Amazing talent Sean! I am so impressed! I think that if Jimi could rise from the grave he would be extremely pleased with you! I have turned so many players onto you and all are just... BLOWN AWAY! Do you give lessons? God Bless you Sean!
I would love to but I can’t even play guitar and wouldn’t no where to start, love this so much though I’m jelous
@@basinatorfullet Do you own a guitar? The best place to start is somewhere simple, like getting comfy with the guitar/pick and other beginner concepts - doing it consistently too.
Dude you killed it, Wow, holy cow, so clean, Jimi has just got to be smiling
WAY more than cover.....clarity, imagination, respect and fun. He's quick but doesn't lose the feeling between the notes.....BRAVO!
🙏
I love the way you articulated Sean’s playing ❤
It's just a matter of time that the algorithm picks up on your videos and your subscriber count blows up. Keep up the great work!
He’s gained 2k in the last two weeks. I think it’s happening! 😍
🤞
Best of luck to hin! deserves it
It’s working, I’ve found Sean’s videos over the past couple of weeks. I follow countless UA-cam guitarists and Sean is right up there with the best IMO
Wish the same could happen to me! Killer guitar videos on my page. Just starting out.
Technique and clarity, hard work and devotion. That's the way. Standing ovation to perfection.
I'm 70 now and have listened to Jimi for 55+/- years. I keep coming back to this. Sean's playing is just superb! No matter how far you go Sean, or wherever you go with your music - never lose that "wail"!
Cheers Peter!
Beautiful playing. I love the slickness of his playing, and seemingly endless ideas.My old 72 year old ears, hear the ghosts of Jimi, Albert, Stevie Ray, John Mayer, of course, and many more. What a talent, and a tone hound too.
Thanks a lot!!
John Mayer hasn't passed yet🤔
John Mayer is definitely Dead
Think my strat is broke doesn’t make the sounds yours does…
Haha!
😂 my strat has the same issue
Gotta tune it to Eb. Then it’ll sound closer😮
Mines just gone up for sale on ebay.
@@Jonny_Jamz or maybe they got a shitty amp? I make a shitty guitar Sing.. You gotta improvise.
The best rendition of "Watch Tower" I have ever heard!!!
Me too! Without vocals, as an instrumental, it’s sublime! In fact when I slot this in to my original set, I won’t sing , I’ll do my best to play as well as Sean. Of course not exactly, I’ll make it mine but I’ll be close as Sean as I am in love with his version
,
I hope a lot of you watching this guys videos do realize he is one of the best guitar players alive. He’s right up there with the best of the best. The fact that he’s not wildly famous is beyond me. I’ve watched hundreds and hundreds of guitarists in my life and there’s only a handful of guys that play with this much flavor and attention to detail. Sean Mann is one of the very few.
Your skills could take you to being one of the best in the world. Its scary to think that you will continue to get even better at your craft with time. And in time the world will know your name, no doubt. Keep on.
🙏
For sure, what he said 🙌🏼
Unlikely considering rock isn't mainstream anymore.
So true best version I have ever seen. Paid true homage so tasteful and talented. Thank you
@@bigdawg6308 Debbie downer.
Holy s*** I just witnessed a masterclass in blues-rock soloing and I need to catch my breath
This what i call guitar god
Egyetértek veled👍🏻🎸
This is perhaps the best and most sophisticated (and well-played) cover-work ever done. I particularly like the nod at John Mayers performance at the Crossroads festival at 4:21. That exact sequence made me forever fall in love with JM’s playing. Double popped polo collars and a mean head-bop. Awesome work!
Cheers man!
is there a recording of JM's Crossroads performance of AATW somewhere?
This is unbelievable.
Proper special 🪄
I never leave comments, but bro had to give U kudos,, one of the best cover/improv I've heard of jimi yet.
Cheers man
Please, Please, PLEASE do a full course on this. It is absolutely brilliant.
I agree
I agree. Best All Along the Watchtower guitar cover on youtube
Thank you so much for doing this as a course. It is fantastic. You explain things clearly in a very friendly manner. I have got the first verse and solo down, but I enjoy playing it so much that I just repeat it over and over again so I have not yet started on verse two. Thanks again.
@@fred3893Agreed. I am doing the course now. Taking my time- drilling the blues and root notes in all positions before diving in any further- then I will learn the riffs. I also bundled his SRV Blues course as well. I am not in any rush. What is good about his lessons is you can take your time and reply as much as you want...and I think it comes with tabs and tracks to boot! Did you finally learn the entire jam?
@@MOAB-UT I am about halfway through the second verse. It is going to take me a long time to get this down because I have decided that I want to take it a phrase at a time and not to move on until I can play each phrase with a similar sense of confidence that Sean does. To me, his attack and the ease with which he turns phrases into a seamless whole are the things I want to try and incorporate into my playing. As you say, there is no rush. Cheers.
I bought this vinyl EP in Hounslow London 10 weeks after Jimi passed and Voodoo Child went to #1 in the charts of the UK. I was a 16 year old spring chicken 😂 The vinyl had 1 main song on 1 side and 2 on the other. Voodoo Child and then Hey Joe and All along The Watchtower. I always say a cover is just so COOL when you listen and you not only get reflective goosebumps but it literally mentally takes you back to those times when the original was created and this AWESOME cover did just that. This is just absolute Magic (and I'd go back to the 1970s in a Heartbeat. Subbed with pure Gratitude for the Vibes Experience ✌️🔥🙏
Amazing, literally amazing. Jimi and Stevie Ray will be dancing to this one.
🙌🙌🙌
I get so much more motivated to practice daily by watching you than I do watching really famous people perform. I may never get as good as this but getting good enough to have fun playing the music you want to is at least attainable.
Sean ..You have no idea how much just one video of yours impacts us to pickup the guitar back up again. Your talent on the strings is unrivaled. I'd love to take up one of your courses soon and learn from the master himself .Keep rocking mate !
Thank you!
@@MOAB-UT oh yes I actually pulled off little wing the other day because I tend to spend considerable time on things that matter rather than being condescending to people on the internet for no reason. Do better buddy
@@RajeevNandiMusic No worries mate. I was just curious if you did it. Guitar is great- I was hoping you did. I know we all get busy with life. There was a time when I stopped playing. You should give it a go.
Cheers.
This guy should have MILLIONS of subscribers. WOW!!!!!
One of the most original covers of this anthemic guitar song..... Well done, original but still faithful. SRV would be proud of you!
This is Jimi Hendrix but he does mean covers of SRV- as good really.
clean, pure, deep .... thanks for keeping the Music alive.✌
That was so good I'm sure I'll watch it a couple hundred thousand more times!
Cheers James!
The tone, the fills, the timing, everything was so perfect! One day I will get to this level of pure skill I hope!
Thanks a lot!!
It won't happen. Stick to your Jeep and outdoor lifestyle...nothing wrong with that. I suggest you head over to Moab, UT with that Jeep. Bring your guitar! It's epic playing out at Chicken Corners high above the Co. river. FYI- I play too and I am pretty good...nowhere near the level of this dude either and I never will be.
I like it when people are objective . All the practice in the world won't make up for innate talent . Very few could reach this level .
@@michaelblankenau6598Very true but with a good instructor, practice, good gear and a belief that anything is possible, you might suprise yourself. I used to be pretty bad but these days I am not so bad. It took time and effort. I agree that for some, it comes much easier.
I heard so many versions of that song and each musician try to do with his own style. This one is very talented ! I like it !
Only been playing for a month or two and whenever I lose motivation, I watch videos like these to get me back in the groove… great job man!
Cheers dude! Keep at it!
Breathtaking. Leo Fender could have had no idea that when he came up with the Stratocaster it was ultimately to provide for THIS! Just an inspired rendition. Thank you. Mr. Mann. Your playing just continues to amaze and create joy.
Hard to put a spin on such a classic but you nailed it. Well done!
OMG this was godly! One of the best covers ive heard in my life
I'm literally putting this on every morning when I wake up. I'm waking up hearing it in my head so I have to put it on to actually hear it. Everyone is asleep. But they won't be for long.
It's just too good man!
Cheers!!
Wow the same thing is happening to me! It’s in my head when I wake up and when I close my eyes at night!
I have nothing else to say except absolutely marvellous 😮
This might be the best version of this song I've ever heard
Cheers Daniel!
Can't beat Jimi but damn good
This was just what a needed today! Love when someone makes me do a stink face while listening! Tasty, tasty playing 😋
Appreciate it!!
I always love watching Mayer covers. Love that John is getting the recognition he deserves. Excellent work, sir!
Thanks!
Been playing since 83 and u are way better than me. Will be getting your class soon. Lifeling LFC fan here. Football and guitar are rhe best things itw
🤘
That is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! Your skills as a guitarist are jaw-dropping, not just on a technical level but in terms of musicality & soul. Incredible!
Thanks Chris!
Holy mother of Christ, it’s one of the best cover I have ever heard. I only dream to play like this. Top notch mate. Love from India.
Thank you 🙏
This is probably the best version of the song I’ve heard in a while, tone is amazing and the use of the whole neck is amazing
Wow!!!!!!
EDIT: I confess, I wrote "Wow" only 40 seconds in. Now, after I've seen the whole video, "Wow" doesn't BEGIN to cover how good this is.
I don't know how I'm going to explain to my kids why this is the only song we are listening to in the car for the next 2 weeks.
😂 cheers John!
This is wonderful! You took the tone and style of the original, and made it new. Good job!
Just hate it, when the music is so f**kin good that I gotta get out of bed and find my headphones.
holy sht this better blow up this blew my mind. definitely listening to this version from now own
Thanks for watching/listening!
Killer job! The tone and JM influence is spot on
What an outstanding version of all along the watchtower your phrasing and melody lines are spot on your tone is definitely the driving force to making this song so driving. Thanks for the rush!!
Cheers for watching!
Try not to use the word driving twice in the same sentence- it sounds bad- I mean pretty bad. Otherwise I agree with you. Yep- the boy is good. Real good.
This cover is totally insane!!! You could post it each day if you want, I will listen it each time! I’ve no words to say how talented you are! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥
Haha thanks man!
Stunning playing. Best version of this on UA-cam!!!
Thanks a lot!
Great tone.....
Better than John Mayor!!!
That tone is majestic🥰
Dude, that is absolutely the best version of this sound ever!!
This is the greatest cover of All Along the Watchtower I have seen. Rock on bro, rock on.
Cheers man! That means a lot!
You absolutely killed it dude. Listening to it repeat. Jimi and Mayer gotta be smiling while hearing this
GOOD LORD MAN! That was fantastic - took my breath away - thank you for sharing!
Wow, awesome. Loved the lick at 5:40. Sounded epic. Has to be one of the greatest Rock songs.
True! Thanks!
At 26k views i feel like I'm here before the main crowd! I think I can speak for every bedroom guitarist and probably every pro too, every single one of us wants to be able rip like Jimi Hendrix. and very very very few ever get to. It's literally the dream when you start playing the guitar to eventually get to that level, but so many of us just don't get there.
Outstanding work and I look forward to more!
Some Gary Moore please!
I think you’re right! I always had that goal in mind anyway. Cheers for watching man!
the feeling I get when I hear the guitar played this well is one of the reasons I am still alive. I think I am going to melt whatever servers your videos are stored on.
My brother that was badass one of the best I've heard of that song!!!!🎸
10/10 playing, tone, strat, everything!
Cheers!
Sean, I have to say man - very impressed by your playing and melodic approach to a classic.
you're definitely the guitar MANN! All Along The Watchtower.🎼🎸 Jimi certainly would have love hearing you play it for him.
One 👍 can't do it justice....incredible performance
I think the jury has come to a verdict this is officially the best cover of All along the watchtower on UA-cam!
🙏
Love listening / watching such an incredible performance -- thanks for doing this.
Great song. Great cover. Thanks. Not often does someone do justice to Hendrix and then some!
Thanks for watching!
This is really a great cover of All Along the Watchtower....one of my favorite songs ever. I was lucky enough to see Hendrix live in Charlotte in 1969 with my best friend Jim Howard. I will never forget it and still one of the highlights of my life. Once again, great cover !
Wish I could have seen him! Thanks for watching
Holy fuck, the best version of this song! Nailed it 🔥
“Can you tab this out for us please?” A question you get a lot I think. I am totally blown away. Never mind the tabs. Keep posting please!
Cheers bro!
Not talking about power cords...just strumming 2 strings toghether at times when soloing...i love it! Thank you Mr. Mann!
You have it all going on brother.
🙏
You've got such a clean style with your right hand. So composed and delicate and slick. Really amazing stuff.
Wow... You are one of the best players and interpreters of Hendrix I have ever come across.
Appreciate that!
Yes yes yes! U can just re upload this everyday so I can see it on my notifications!
Haha!
I just can't have enough of this 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 what a great playing, Sean!!! You're just unbelievable... Mayer's influence is there, yes, but also SRV and yourself! You always add your bit which is huge. Powerful playing and unstoppable flow of talent. Goosebumps all around... Just unbelievable... wishing you all the success of this world. Truly deserve that.💜🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻 Sean Mann, the man!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
🙌🙌🙌
@@seanmannguitar always here and wherever you are to support you! So good here you can post long videos without any issue in the performance of the vid. Truly enjoy them! Your channel is one of my fav places to be !!! 🙌🏻😊
Definately one of the best versions on here ..
Thanks!
Awwwwwww i just love This ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jimi lives! He is smiling on you...
🙏
1001 techniques and ideas, chapeau for great music making
He knows a 1000 songs, with a million moves..and I can't remember where I put my car keys.🤯
Fantastic version of this iconic song. I particularly like they way you keep the distortion to the minimum needed for the song. Also like your right hand approach keeping you hand moving to the groove of the song. Happy subscriber!
Cheers Jim! And thanks for the sub!
There were just soo many incredible moments in this cover!
Masterpiece - you raised the bar so high - not easy to cover one of the best songs of all times (if not the best). Congrats.
Tremendous playing - wonderful tone
Damn!!! Incredible how good & clean you can play man! Keep the great playing and thanks for sharing and inspiring once more 💪🏽 I am enjoying your videos sooooo much!!!
Thanks Jose!
Now, that's simply perfect! Absolutely stunning!
Thanks for all the amazing videos and the srv course you put out. You made me improve A LOT over the past months!
Glad you’re enjoying the course!
wow wow wow! 🙏🙏
If this was 30 years earlier it would’ve been called the pioneering moment of guitar.
Phenomenal job.
Cheers dude!
Dont wanna be a downer but try 50-60 years earlier, 30 years ago was the 90’s
@@WotRuTalkanabit nah you’re right, I’m thinking I’m still on the year 2000 or something, I’m aware SRV was doing this in the mid 80’s.
Now that's how you do it! Hell yeah!
This guy is in another world. I’ve seen a few of his videos and man fuck out of this world. And he is so fast playing. ❤love it.
É de arrepiar os cabelos maluco ,parabens pela dedicação.
Excellent guitar playing.
🙏
I’ve been following you for a few months now you are one of the most tasteful guitar players that leave me in awe ! …. I wish I learned to play like you and I am most grateful to listen to you a lot
I can't get enough of this. Love it!!!!
Cheers Craig!
Beautiful work brother absolutely incredible
Cheers Jacob
Man your tone and playing is so smooth and relaxing to listen to!
Intimedated! I think that what Clapton and the rest of the lead guitarist were when they first heard Jimmy in London 50 years ago! 😊
My 3rd or fourth time listening to this. Does not get old :)
Cheers for watching Eric!
Bro... That was sick. Wish I had tabs so I could learn some of those licks.
Tabs available by enrolling on my Watchtower course!
@@seanmannguitar Okay, I bought your course! I'm hyped! You're a very good teacher, man! Very thorough and you don't rush through it! Love it so far!
Okay, I also bought the bundle! Jimi/SRV/Mayer + Guitar Mastery of SRV.
I already completed the Blues for Beginners! Best teacher I've found so far! Thank bro!
From one player to another, really well done....best of luck to you.
He did it once again !
