Any instrumentalist, especially those classically trained can see the quality in this piece and it's performance. It's even been debated at music colleges apparently.

Honestly, guys, even someone with no music knowledge can understand how impossible this is to play. She's incredible!
@@julia_gaspar Most impressive and inspirational video i have seen in MANY years! WTG u absolutely nailed it (the spirit especially). Loved every second.❤
Thankyou for putting the screen in the background with John playing. The fact that you can look at that screen and see after 9mins you're still perfectly in time with that performance is bonkers.
This deserves recognition for how many countless of hours and practice you've put down. It's probably the closest to the original I've heard so far, I hope you get the views and subscribers you deserve - keep doing what you love, you're absolutely great and I wish you all the success!
Two musicians from different times in sync. It was as if they were talking to each other. Beautiful. Been a fan of this piece since 11 years. Didn't think a cover woukd be possible. Hats off!
I have listened to this song every night for well over a year, its a part of my bed time relaxing routine. I have long thought it was impossible to cover note for note, let alone on a guitar with less than 11 strings. Even John Butlers other live versions are not done note for note. You have made the only cover I've ever heard that can bring tears to my eyes like the original. I commend your skill and stamina, this is amazing, and a feat most guitarists dream of.
A friend sent me the “Live at St Gallen” version of this maybe 18ish years ago. A year later I saw him do it in person in Liverpool. I never rated this studio version in comparison to those experiences, as it’s so hard to compete with your first experiences of a song like this. But here I am now in my late 30s, welling up on the sofa next to my sleeping dog, watching as if it’s the first time again. Thank you. It’s truly a gift.
Every once in a while UA-cam actually works like it's suppose to and you get a special video. A video that is perfect. Julia, that was amazing. I love to workout to John's video but that will change now. Awesome playing.
That is literally insane. Several times I bursted out "WTF". So good. Scary close to the original. That's amazing that you've been able to learn yourself this piece to this extent. When John is talking about this song it seems like it's part of his dna and a feeling like thing that has been with him throughout his life. And you managed to channel that very well I think. Just amazing. Bravo!
Thank you, Sven 🥹❤️ It really felt like I was able to channel that somehow, I didn't know how to describe that and you just did that beautifully, thank you so much 🙏🤗
That a very true comment and she is smashing the views in the last two weeks....her hard work is paying off , I wonder what butler think's of this cover, would be interesting to hear hjs reaction 👏
Ocean has a very important place in my soul... so I was hesitant to watch in fear of my anger of someone not giving John proper dues respect in a public performance.... but my god... I didnt realize how badly I needed to let some bottled emotion out . My eyes are still wet.... Beautiful moment in your lide right there chick. I hope that when your an old old woman looking back at memories, you fully remember how beautiful, moving, and special that particular 12 min of your life was to both you... & so many more people. I see you.... & I love you... Thank you again.
In the end, we're all here looking for vibes. Good vibes, hopefully. In the end, even if it's clear, who cares about how many hours, days, weeks, months you've spent working on this? The only thing who really counts in the end is if all the time you've spent on this is touching other souls or not. My soul is grateful. Thank you Julia, hell of a good job:)
I remember performing this about 15 years ago as a young teenager infront of about 200 people. Most memorable experience of my life. Seen John live play it many times. A truly beautiful song that never gets old.
BRILLIANT.... SCINTILLATING.... Feelin' the love and the admiration and the respect. Beautiful. Never stop. You brought me to tears just like John did so many years ago...
Unbelievable...I don't know how many times I've listened to John... it takes away the pain, I cry and I feel better... I've listened to you several times, you're in unison and you manage to convey the same emotions to me.Thank you Julia🙏❤
I'd completely lost my passion for music without realizing it...until I heard you play and now I'm gonna spend the next 5 hours looking up new music. Thank you.
Set aside the amazing feat of learning this song, and then performing it in one take in sync with the original in the background... The attention to detail and nailing the vibe with the black tank top and the globe in the background is impressive.
I have been playing acoustic guitar for a little over 3 decades and Julia Gaspar you are GREAT!!! I finger pick pretty well and John's technique is beyond me. So don't stop playing ever. Your video was wonderful.
@JuliaGasper. Look.... I have to say this. I have been following John since the very beginning. Your brilliant performance took my breath away. Thank you for showing us your ocean!
Amateur guitar player here. I've watched john butler absolutely slay this instrumental for a decade now. Probably watch it once a week no lie. It brings me joy, and now so do you!
Wow. Besides that you played this incredibly well and so relaxed and the sound is amazing, i absolutely love the concept of running the original video in the background. That’s so rad. have never seen that before. Gorgeous playing
Love watching that smile burst out of you uncontrollably at certain moments. 8:40 being my favorite. This was such a joy to listen to. Well done. You nailed it
More than amazing, more than incredible. The same notes, the same energy, the same emotion, the same exact pacing... and even the same muscles as he has!!!
Wow! Congratulations on mastering this! It's such a heartwarming piece :) I remember watching the original in my student apartment 11 years ago and not being able to get it out of my head for months. You did such a great job!
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever commented on a UA-cam video. This performance though has finally promoted me to. Without a doubt the best cover of ocean I’ve ever seen. So close to his studio performance. Not to mention on a 6 string. Incredible. You are a weapon.
OMG you are dedication itself. Never had the bravery to face despair for 2 to 3 years on a insanely hard guitar song. Well done it really paid off cause we are all here, impressed.
Absolutely outstanding!!! Playing in sync with John’s playing blows my mind…and with the tv playing to prove your skills. Hands down one of the best guitar covers I have ever seen. My mind is blown! 🤯
Ohhhh my dayss! This deserves a million views just for the absolute brilliants and talent involved. Wow, Wow, Wow! I'm literally shocked how perfect that was.
Your cover is absolutely amazing, if not breathtaking... I am in love with this song, I know it by heart for the number of times I've listened to it, and your rendition is so so close to his, as well in terms of technique than emotion... You did a stunning job and I cannot congratulate you enough for the amount of work this must have been. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this 🙏💖
I just wanted to say I'm blown away you did an amazing 6 string rendition of this song and it sounded just as beautiful as the original. To do this so flawlessly in one take no less, so amazing!! I'm sure your fingers were pulsing after that one, Thank you for your content and keep on playing!
Thank you so much!! 🙏 yeah actually that one was the last (15th) take, second day.. everything just hurt by then hahaha you can see my relief in the end as I knew "that's the one" - but totally worth it ❤️🌈
This is probably my favorite acoustic tune of all time and I've been trying to learn it for a long time now and have lost a lot of fingerprints in the process! You have a gift and the grit to have seen it through - congrats, absolutely mind-blowingly accurate cover! John would be proud 🙂
I just THOUGHT my mind was blown the first time watching John play this. Oh no, No, NO ma’am. Not only is my mind blown, but melted my face, & shattered my jaw when hit the floor. Absolutely amazing. Just……just WOW. Young lady….YOU…ARE FREKIN AWESOME!!!!👏 🤘🏼🔥
Not sure why it took so long for UA-cam to suggest this, but I'm happy to see that your cover is apparently going viral lately 👌 You deserve all the praise in the world. This song is one of the most impressive ones to cover and I can't imagine the amount of time you've spent practicing this. Bravo!! Well done 🤙
i wanna take a moment to thank the algorithm for this one
Seriously! UA-cam just woke up and decided to share something good today 👌
Same ❤
This is absolutely incredible. What she is doing, IMO, is more impressive as she is mirroring someone else perfectly.
Same. I saved that song years ago and now its come full circle
Thank you all (including the algorithm 😅) for your support ❤️❤️❤️
The fact that you're rendering this on a six-stringed guitar is all the more impressive!
Thanks 😍🤗
My thoughts exactly!!
God bless you and your hands, only a guitarist can understand how hard this piece is❤
Thank you so much 🥹🙏

you're a real master @@julia_gaspar
Plus considering there is no "original" as he played it with slightly differences every single time
This is terrifying. How many months or years focussing on that specific song ?😮
Two musicians from different times in sync. It was as if they were talking to each other. Beautiful. Been a fan of this piece since 11 years. Didn't think a cover woukd be possible. Hats off!

Aww thank you Amanda, that's a huge compliment! My sisters name is Amanda 😁
sending you lot's of love ❤️🤗
if there would be a doctors title for guitar playing, this would be the test. Congrats Dr Gaspar, you've mastered the art.
Someone give this genius an 11-string guitar. Amazing cover! Never heard anything better in my life. Thank you!
wow, thank you so much!! 🤗
This song has the most direct access to my tear glands
Thanks, Henry 🙏🤗
