The lesson includes videos on how to play this song, understanding this style of guitar playing, chords, lyrics, note for note instruction, my studio gear, my microphones, detailed info on my guitar and amp, my thoughts on tone, and tonnes more.
This is one of my all-time favorite live guitar performances and I have wanted to do a full cover of this for years. The song is obviously originally by Bob Marley, but it was also covered in several different configurations by Eric Clapton. The groove is just perfect in this version (although I didn't have Steve Gadd backing me up so I had to alter the groove slightly for it to work) and although it's LONG, it's such an awesome performance. Here's my take on this song with my trusty looper pedal - clean solo is mine and the long solo is Clapton, in my opinion, at his very best! :) Enjoy!

Am I the only one who's also interested in his Fashion choices every song haha..
Man's got some hella sleek style.
Haha nope definitely not the only one... I get asked about that every day haha
@@JamieHarrisonGuitar Not saying you won't go far as a Guitarist, but modeling gigs would be a sure way to increase the size of your guitar collection! I'm just saying, Life/The World is strange like that.........
Armaan Sami Rizvi So I've seen him performing in the streets of Galway about 1 1/2 years ago... Some months later I stumbled upon a video of Jamie and I immediately recognized him due to his fashion (Whitout seeing his face or anything) 🤯 Small world it is... and definitely a nice taste of fashion
@@hkguitar1984 Can you expound at all on that comment? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that don't know what you mean.
Armaan Sami Rizvi I personally hate his style. Not trying to offend, just adding some variation of opinion to this comment thread
2:32 That must be the greatest single volume swell ever played. Profoundly simple and profoundly powerful.
Was just going to post something like that - glad someone else noticed!
Check out ray buchanan
@@TheFirstGroover Roy Buchanan practically invented it! He sure as hell pioneered it

Forced me to giggle with joy. Not gonna lie.
*devil* : you can only become a god with the guitar if you trade something valuable with me
*jamie* : take my head
Shalin Bhatt ha ha... Jamie Rocks anyway!
He posted this on his ig story :D
😂😂😂😂😂
to be honest, music does take your head..
oh shit! TheDooo
I was blown away by this cover of I Shot The Sheriff,, and decided to try the 9-song course package under the 30-day money back trial period, while under coronavirus lockdown. I am a cheap bastard, and would not have hesitated for a second to ask for a refund if I hadn’t been blown away by the course as well. By day three, I started downloading course materials and videos, fully realizing that by doing so I was forsaking the money back guarantee. The courses are THAT good. I was jamming along with Jamie’s backing track for I Shot the Sheriff using bits and pieces of his solo lesson right away, and that alone was worth the price of admission. Then I started the Little Wing lesson. I’ve played that intro a thousand times, but was amazed at how much fuller, dynamic, and Hendrix-like I sounded after listening to Jamie’s lessons a couple of times. But what really thrills me is that today I started playing Here Comes the Sun on an acoustic, and suddenly that song (which Jamie doesn’t teach and might seem very far removed from Jamie’s style), came alive in new ways, much more dynamic than I had ever gotten it - and I know that it’s directly a result of immersing myself in Jamie’s lessons.
So, if you’ve been playing a few years, and you like Jamie’s covers, and you have time to kill, give the courses a try.
By the way, I didn’t shoot the deputy, but he kinda had it coming.
That tone is to die for
Well he uses nice gear but I think you can easily get close to it ,just set your treble higher than your bass of 2 points, then use a clean boost with just a bit of gain and more treeble boost, and of course a nice fender neck pick up.
Idk, that's just a normal clean tone for me. Imho it would sound better if it sounded more powerful like srv's tone.
Compressor . Always use compressor.
Mexican Fender Strat is the best bang for your buck guitar on the planet
A small price to pay for tone
Keep practicing Jamie, you’ll get there!
😂😂😂
Lol
I'm dead
😁👍🏼
@TheBirchyman1 that was clearly the joke...
I am an Iraqi guy who listens to country and blues I mean big artists and well known guitar killers and to be honest this solo touched my soul more than any other expensive songs
You are amazing bro 💪
A cover of Hey Joe would be great ! With your style in it. Also John Mayer - Aint no sunshine (live at crossroads) ! Really curious what you could come up with.
I'd easily pay double to learn Aint no sunshine (live at cross roads) there's no tutorials avaliable as well! Keep up the great work Jamie!
By far the two songs i wish him to cover the most!!
Lets hype up that comment :D
Please!!
Me too bro
200% agree with the John Mayer one, one of my favorite
Eric Clapton has the most amazing chord melody and improvisation
Up
2:33 was impressive use of the gradient volume increase system
Khangenbam Avanjit I literally got chillz
Knopfler does that too it's nice when done right
@@jamesryan5436 Knopfler uses a volume pedal
@@redarules yes I know he does and I don't think anyone does it better I should have said volume swells .
@@jamesryan5436 oh yeah I agree. He's the first who came into my mind after hearing it
Legend has it that Jamie has a head. Maybe a face even.
I dont see any Smoke on the Water cover, so I'm still sceptic of how good you are haha
This is the best cover of Wonderwall i've ever seen
🤣
who can truly dislike a performance like this...
When you trade your head to the devil to play guitar
cookiesdomain Bargain
I think this definitely has to happen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
definitely worth the trade
Or you could just practice
I’m high af right now going down this UA-cam rabbit hole and this dude is blowing my mind.
Imagine being able to just plug in a guitar and play like this! Amazing job man.
It’s a several year (daily practice) commitment at the least to get close. Never really stops. Learn the scales and practice the crap out of them. It’s not as far out of reach as you might think. It’s damn fun when you can just sit like this and make time disappear and emotions flow.
@@forester057 Scales are good for getting your speed up. But won't keep you interested for very long. Learning solos and learning why the notes work is a good method of learning
My favorite EC solo of all time, and a phenomenal job of disecting a ridiculously difficult solo. The Hyde park version is phenomenal as well!
Lol yeah the one where he kept the rhythm even when steve gadd screwed up lol
Jamie you're insane. Such a needed person in the guitar community!
This guy GETS IT. Never seen this channel/player before. THIS is an example of what having impeccable timing and rhythm serves you as a player.
Eric Clapton has a photo of Bob Marley on his fridge. It's signed by Marley with the words - "I (underlined letter 'I') shot the sheriff!."
Well done, sir.
One of the best guitar tones i ever heard
Not only the distortion, the clean too
Aye, brilliant
A cover of Old Love by Clapton and Robert Cray would be amazing
Oh man! I was thinking the same thing too...He should also wear the purple suit while playing it.
Try this one for now: m.ua-cam.com/video/QTtK02GqBKU/v-deo.html
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I have watched this now! My partner is actually starting to get sick of hearing it 😂. Thank you Jamie, truly inspiring! Still can’t get the groove but I’m determined I will!
OMMMMMMGGGGGG !!! It feels like christmas when you upload a new song
Today is the day ma G
and the legend of Jamie continues
Who would of thought a very talented man from Ireland by the name of Jamie Harrison would have the most smoothest guitar covers on UA-cam, cheers from Kilkenny lad, love the playing !
I think he is now on par with pilky27. Love both of their work
Both have serious desireable tones
I think we can all agree that this is the best version of this song. This guy is better than Eric Clapton. Bob Marley. He is the best
Clapton's solo on that one is one of the best things I've ever heard
Fire Jamie 🔥🔥🔥🔥😭 Got my grandparents dancing
2004 Madison Square Garden solo is also absolutely amazing, Clapton at his best.
I was showing this to my 2 brothers (we all 3 play guitar and have for 10+ years) telling them, listen to eric clapton here and I played this.. But it was you (I thought at first it was Eric), Jamie. Gotta admit, this is insane! One of my favourite guitar plays of all time.
YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO HAVE THE BEST FUN.
Goddamn. I’ve always felt that this is one of the best Clapton solo. And finally someone played it and offers a lesson! Dang. Gonna buy that shit. Lol
Day 10 of quarantine, got drunk and played air guitar in my living room to all this guy's videos.
I guessed right. And to think I wasn’t all that excited about the song. I definitely am now. Amazing!
Jamie that was just brilliant. Eric Clapton has covered over a hundred songs by dozens of artists from Robert Johnson to the Beatles from J.J. Cale to Bob Dylan. While every Clapton cover is unique I've always been a fan of what Eric did with this Bob Marley classic.
I love your instinct on song choices to teach. They all compliment each other.
The perfection of the rhythm of The little syncopated chords starting at 1:20 is just outstanding
Dude, you make it look so easy... enjoy watching you play bro
U make it look so easy that your hidden facial expressions is probably just a deep stare. Incredible as always Jamie
Love when this guy uploads a new song.
Phenomenal as always. 2:25-2:35 is just unbelievable as is everything else
Why is it that your playing always brings a smile to my face
once i've saved up enough money for a sufficient setup, those Jamie-lessons will determine my days!
I have been listening to this solo for years, never thought I would watch someone copy every note to such a level of precision. You are amazing, thanks for this!
I love how you captured the essence of the song without copying him directly. There were references to Clapton's solo, and it sounded like something he'd play, but it wasn't note for note. Bravo, bravo, and terrific job \m/
What are you talking about? It WAS note for note, and that's the purpose of the video
@@elijahlamps no it isn't
@@Brucaleeffo 👍
@@Brucaleeffo i have a note for note in my channel
no matter how long it pass, this cover will always be the best ever.
give me chills everytime i come back here.
you are insane
INSANE
This chap is a true gentleman and a genius - lessons are very well structured an Irish legend in my opinion - worthy of your time sláinte my man
Jamie - jaw-droppingly brilliant. Glad you chose this song. One of my faves.
THANK YOU, Jamie. I got the stress reduction feels now.
Man, that volume swell was perfect.
How has this video only got 1.6m views? My God!
What the actual hell?
Did you just walk down the crossroads and made a pact with the Devil or something?
This is truly one of the most epic things I‘ve ever seen anyone do on guitar!
Glad you finally did a Clapton song and can’t wait to take your lesson!
I haven't skipped watching this video not even for a single day. Great work Jamie
You can’t fully enjoy this cover without listening to it with headphones on. Absolutely magnificent
This strat rings. Absolutely chimes so clean as well as the playing. Had to watch it again not your older one. Love it
I got the everything bundle. I've been working on this tune and also Wind Cries Mary. Already, I've learned a tonne of stuff, Jamie literally walks you through every single note and how and why it works. He talks through the dynamics and the hard parts and the parts that take some time to master, this is often overlooked and the cause of frustration. I'm learning much faster than how I used to when I would sit down and stare at tabs. Highly recommend his lessons. Would love to see some David Gilmour lessons! Maybe the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, that's one of the best ever!
Man this is great, id love to learn the 2010 - that sh*ts off the walls. Any more clapton would be great!
I regret not buying a bundle from this guy, I’ve been grabbing individual songs, then I listen to another and I’m like damn I NEED to learn this to. His lessons are top notch, I’ve learned a ton. Huge inspiration & motivation to get up to his level. Cheers
Amazing. That tone, that playing... Everything
Please do a cover and lesson of John Mayer's Aint No Sunshine!
ShahKhan53 It’s not his song, if you haven’t watch the original! I think they’re both great
@@thebeastmaster3453 yep...the original is classic...but the Mayer's version is sick
@@davijazzz yes i know but i meant specifically the version from live at cross roads
@@thebeastmaster3453 This simple comment is what drives me nuts. Everybody always correcting people to feel like they are somewhat intelligent. Clearly he meant John Mayer's cover, dude.
Done :) ua-cam.com/video/UVgXzcCFlLE/v-deo.html
*Thank you. This is awasome. More Eric Clapton please.*
Absolutely amazing. Stunning. Brilliant.
I've had this on repeat - it's very cool to hear someone's take on a very iconic solo and one of my favorites of all time. Nice one!
Jamie the groove on this is beyond this world can't get enough of it. Kudos for your amazing work and keeping us all entertained, motivated and pushing (y)
This is seriously some of the best music I've heard in a long time... I'm glad I found you on spotify.
Clapton was fucking inspired that night. One of the most complete and layered solos he’s ever done.
Who came in the year 2021, playing is indispensable to hear haha🖐️👍🌹✌️
This guy is so in Fire i love how he slays all of these solos with that hell of a clear Sound. Love all Covers by you keep rocking bro🤘🔥
Holy smokes Jamie. Absolutely killed it dude. Can’t wait to get started on this course. Top notch as always Sir.
I can't get my head around that tone. It's so sweet. Great playing of course.
Hugh Clapton fan, I really like this!! More please
Wow, I got it right and can’t wait for the lesson to show up. Awesome playing!!!!!
I truly don’t think I could live in a world without music!
Nothing brings emotion out of me like a good song does, nice work Jamie you have a new subscriber
I used to think I'd like to live in medieval times but then I realized that the only way to listen to music would be to be around someone who plays. Makes me appreciate this era
What a great cover. The more often you hear it, the more details you discover. Also great timing. Keep going.
I cannot stop watching this, it's so amazing.
Got it right!!!!!! Cant Wait!!
Feels like christmas :D
Best version on Crossroads 2010.
Yes she is excellent👍
I'm so happy you did this! Remember seeing this enchanting performance on the DVD as a 13 year old and I instantly fell in love with everything about the song and their playing. Pure magic. Still jamming those minor and major sevens 14 years later.
It is the kind of feeling that you give to the music. It got soul. I try to, but everytime I hear myself back it sounds like crap.
This doesn't matter, because that is my skill now and this kind of UA-cam keeps me pushing further in my skill. I really like this perfect sound. I am "healthy jealous", as I call this. 😉
Hands down , this is your best cover !! in my humble opinion
I need you to do Ain't no sunshine from John Mayer at the Cigaco Concert
Wasn't a big fan of the song and refused to click on this every time it was suggested to me. This version really opened my eyes to the tune! Beautiful!
This is absolutely phenomenal, Jamie.
so increible.
kudos to you for practicing and getting to that level of amazingness. very captivating start to finish
That is some serious great playing.
This is my absolute favorite Clapton solo. Superb job! I’ll set this as my ultimate guitar learning goal. Thanks for sharing!
Also I'm very happy that you've taken your time learning Eric Clapton style in depth....I'm happy that there's someone who knows how to homage him in a much deserved way!
I can’t believe that the best guitar player on youtube for me covered one of my favorite song
I am aware of the fact that you are slightly drawn towards the style of hendrix, Srv, mayer etc., in which you are completely amazing. But i’d be happy to see a cover of the live version of Eric johnson’s cliffs of dover.
Your covers are insanely good, keep up the good job, Jamie!
Greetings from Denmark
Jamie, LOVE the cover u did on this! My all time favorite guitar solo. Thanks so much!
One of the best solo of clapton! Tone control, volume control, groove and perfect timings !
Thanks
Amazing man, you're one hell of a guitarist ! Cheers brother
More clapton in the future please, sounds amazing!!!!
My fav Clapton solo, man you could be easily become a legend, never stop!
Mannnnnn!!! Do you ever disappoint?? Every thing you play is gold!!
Damn, this turned out much better than I expected. Great rhythm playing, tone, and the lot! This solo was so similar to clapton's style, in the way it started calm, with a clean-ish tone with tender play style, and ended loud, fat and distorted. Awesome job! The only downside about playing this with a looper is you don't have the effect of a band following the play style from quiet to banging loud at the end, like the 2010 crossroads video.
With all thay said, awesome job, I had a good time!
Bro I hope you're making big bucks. You are the best guitar player on youtube
Gonna have to disagree with that. If we're talking purely UA-cam guitarists then in my opinion he's second to Sungha Jung, no shame in that to be honest.
Jack Hopkins Jamie is definitely first
Excellent looping and of course playing. Love the 02.00 - 03:00 vibes from Mark Knopfler's style. Thanks Jamie, if this does not make you grab yr guitar and play - sell them! Superb!
