@@Bart-tk9um Can't you state facts WHILE knowing it's comedy? I actually couldn't guess he did it for reverb. So stop behaving as if you're the only one who gets comedy.
Because there are plenty of covers on YT and more coming by the day. I played this song so many times at bars and coffee shops that people weren’t really into it anymore. Sometimes if best to take a break and not play it for a while
@@epicplayerboss it’s literally impossible to strum chords on this one. Be mindful that I never made a critique to anyone’s playing. Since you requested, here’s me 6 years ago playing and singing Neon with a guitar I borrowed on the spot: th-cam.com/video/SXI5vALpsrA/w-d-xo.html
I really can't stop watching this bro you so good it just sounds so real like im there without effects also Im about intermediate level and I dont know how to move on in guitar I need some pointers and new songs to attempt to learn that are about medium difficulty guide me! Lol.
This needs much more views, probably one of the best neon covers on TH-cam -both cover wise and video cinematic wise. How long did it take you from beginning to when you filmed this?
Neon Song by John Mayer 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 she 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
Sounds like you did a good job of playing a terribly difficult song. I am wondering if at 4:45 you have heard anyone else or found the tabs of how he actually plays it because I am yet to hear the exact replication of those few seconds
I tried my best to replicate it, its a very complicated part and would be very difficult to tab. From what I hear, it is a bunch of slides going to the Bbsus2 before entering the chorus.
Great cover, really nailed it. The only thing I’d point out is to watch out not to play the Bass in F at the end of the chorus (2:49). I think Mayer doesn’t play the Bass in F, as it would make a F minor, and I think this chord it’s the relative major (Ab). So either play muting the low C string, or just stay in the previous chord (that’s also a Ab)
If you had suggest between this and OM42, what would you suggest? I am looking for guitars that do it all... Playingvlot of artificial harmonics, sliding alternative tuning...costly fingerstyle. Waiting for your reply 🙏
I've only been learning neon for about 1 month and a half 🙃 and I've been playing guitar for about 10 months I can say I definitely got the main introduction down at 70 percent the normal speed lol and the beggining at about 40 percent I really need you to upload more so I can keep copying you.
Thanks! I learned it mostly by ear. I also used zartimus’ tutorial as a reference for the solo and introduction and made the necessary changes on my own.
That was a bit exaggerated, it only took years because it wasn't a continuous process. Can definitely be faster if you practice it the right way and stay focused. 🤠
Aww man, it took me a while. I first started learning the song on and off back years ago and have steadily been working on adding more techniques into it through the years. I think what really helped me was to just try to let my right wrist do the work and not focus on the thumb/index too much, that way you can also really get the power to do the thumb slap on the low C in there too. But once I got that down, it became easier and a lot more simple.
Work on it slowly and it should come with practice. I try to focus more on a whole hand/wrist movement instead of individually plucking the strings. Hopefully that helps!
I don't own a OMJM, but I have played it once or twice. In my opinion, they do sound similar, but I feel the OM28JM has more responsive bass, kinda like a dreadnought almost. But again, every guitar is a little different so it's hard to tell. I might pick up an OMJM later to compare them.
They are very different guitars, the omjm is a much cheaper guitar in terms of wood quality and construction. I bought one and i didnt like it, instead i bought an om42 and sounds 100 times better.
@@Silverback303 I'm interested in an OM42 as well, but I've always preferred a slimmer neck. How big of a difference would you say that 1 3/4 nut feels when compared to the OMJM?
Pompy It’s more vintage feel but thanks to the slim profile neck its pretty confortable to play. It’s an amazing instrument. Congrats for having that special guitar. I was too young when it came out and it is not in production anymore.
@@Silverback303 I am very fortunate to have picked one up before the prices really skyrocketed. I was also way too young at the time it came out and it was my dream guitar for a very long time. Thanks for checking the video out!
You seemed a little stiff in the intro and just a little choppy but as soon as you started the actual song it honestly surprised me how you started swinging it just how he does
@@pompy921 ahaha There's looks like bathroom anyway Your guitar skills are perfect I love it! and I have Taylor 814ce, is your guitar easier to play than other guitars?
when you gotta take a poop, but you want to play Neon
he uses the room for natural reverb

did you use your bathroom for natural reverb? 😂 brilliant
and to also flex his beautiful bathroom
I imagine all his family waiting for use the bathroom 😂

That got to be one of the cleanest 28JM I have seen.
And I hope to keep it that way!
Made me realize there are tons of little subtleties I had just never noticed , thanks
True, the more you listen to the original, the more things pop out at you.
This is the best cover I've seen. Amazing job 👏🏽
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Cifra Club cover>>>>>>
WOW this is the best neon ive ever seen 😱😱😱😱😱 28JM thank you
Those guitars sound so beautiful - beautiful playing
This is insane, i've been unsatisfied with all the neon covers i've seen but this was the first one that really satisfied me. great stuff man
You forgot to say good evening
Great cover btw
I guess I have to rerecord it then 💁♂️
Brilliant playing - you deserve that OM-28 JM!
That is insanely good
The bass it's just beautiful
this is so clean, really well done
:))) .. He play his feels and ..he can ...do so very well ✌
Gotta love that bathroom reverb! Nice job.
You're my new hero dude
Wow that was good my ears have been blessed
Smooth chord changes
Learn this song over the past 3 months, having that crazy thumb really helped me and looks like it helped you too:)
Both thumbs go crazy in this one 🤯
Great great job !
I just discovered this song, and it's beautiful, I'll try to learn it even if it takes a whole year lol
nice, this is hard song bro, you did it
i love how he smacks it at the end knowing he just wrecked 🤣
thats a beautiful thumb technique
This is just phenomenal ;-;❤️
I must be like at least 150 of these views by now. You’re amazing brother. I’ve got the main riff down and starting on the intro.
Yea man this is definitely the best cover of this song on youtube i've seen. Great job!!!
Nice playing! 🔥👏👏👏😊
Great stuff dude!
man love the content please keep doing the covers they are great! gravity and clarity many more

Impressive
You're a monster mate incredibly good job, congrats
Amazing amazing amazing cover!I'm trying to get all the song down, this video helps a lot with some parts ;) nice work
If anyone noticed that’s the same guitar as John Mayer …. My fantastic observational skills aside , this was awesome man ! ✨
I really can't stop watching this bro you so good it just sounds so real like im there without effects also Im about intermediate level and I dont know how to move on in guitar I need some pointers and new songs to attempt to learn that are about medium difficulty guide me! Lol.

This is one of the better covers out there. Well done
so great!
Thank you 😘
YOU DESERVE MORE SUBS you are amazing KEEP IT UP!!!

Very niceeee
Wow! Im trying to learn this song and i am working on the intro and the main riff right now😆 reeeaaally nice cover!😁🤩
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
your slap is so perfect
Damm awesome cover
I watched the whole video.
dude you're crazy
You're too kind
1:06 you're welcome
This needs much more views, probably one of the best neon covers on TH-cam -both cover wise and video cinematic wise. How long did it take you from beginning to when you filmed this?
Appreciate it! I started learning Neon little by little for the past several years, its a tough piece to put together all at once
slow dancing in a burning room pls!
Neon
Song by John Mayer
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 she 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
めっちゃ上手
this is such a bad cover, he didn't even say "good evening" at the beginning :)
Look easier than when I try

If you wanna teach me this, let me know haha... unreal!
It would be nice if the thumb could pause for a while just like JM does.
Amazing cover! Is that the Martin OMJM?
Thanks for the kind words! It is the OM28-JM.
Try to listen for the “bass line” in the main riff
this is like the acoustic equivalent of pilky27
GJ !! Wish i had GIANT Thumb... : P
You don't need a giant thumb to play this! My hands are average sized 🙃

Never give up
i can play all the notes and chords my problem is getting the constant slap on every beat i can only do it every other beat
Hi,
Nice cover ! Did you transcribe it from the live video or have you found a good lesson somewhere ?
Thanks! I learned it mostly by ear. I also used zartimus’ tutorial as a reference for the solo and introduction and made the necessary changes on my own.
now sing at the same time and you will realise that the guitar is quite easy without it. True performers know this lol good job tho x
Oh dayum what did you use to record this?
Just an iPhone
Amazing! Great cover, how long did it take you to learn neon?
Years
That was a bit exaggerated, it only took years because it wasn't a continuous process. Can definitely be faster if you practice it the right way and stay focused. 🤠
@Yafi Congrats, let the journey begin

I can't for the life of me do the picking. The rest i can do.
