@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations Exactly like wth why would anyone not want to hear a studio quality performance of this rendition it would only sound even better and it sounds amazing already!
@@isohel9889 i’m not sure why you feel that it’s just so clear that I haven’t played jazz guitar but as of now most of my time and study is in jazz. I used to play a lot of blues and acoustic pop rock stuff like “Neon” 10 years ago but I began studying artists like Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and John Coltrane. This song Neon on its face seems really difficult to play, but it’s really not that difficult at all if you are even a semi disciplined guitarist. It’s in 4/4, only in one key, the solo section is only over 1 chord and the lead line is just over two bars, not 32 bars. Although I could perform Neon masterfully as a singer and songwriter and guitarist when I began playing jazz, I immediately realized I was in way over my head and still am. So there’s always room for growth that’s my point. Have a terrific day!
You’re the first and only person Iv seen play and sing this as effortlessly as JM. Everyone else looks like they are having a brain aneurism to keep up with the groove. You just found the pocket and never left.
idk how many takes it took. maybe 1, maybe 500. but to play everything including the intro with genuinely no mistakes is so insanely impressive. no notes sounding off etc (except for some of the obvious low C string vibrating a little cause of the tuning, which in my opinion is a lovely addition to this song.) nothing but respect my man ! after practicing this song every once in a while for 4 years something i always mess up somewhere atleast a few times..
This video has been recommended to me at least 12 times. Probably because I keep clicking on and watching it all the way through. A difficult song and you absolutely nailed it.
You could play this side by side with JM in a packed stadium and no one would bat an eye. This is such an incredible cover and easily the best on the internet. That last "she COOOOMEEEESSS" was dead on and not easy to nail
The timing, blues intro, and the right hand action, the voice, everything...blew my mind. Been studying and playing SRV, Clapton, BB, Mayer for 6 years. Hats off.
I 'm sure John is going to love this...never seen anyone doing better than you with a rendition of "Neon" (and your choice, the "Where The Light Is" version, is wonderful)...a big hug from Italy my friend, this video put a smile on my face ❤️
This is hands down the most fulfilling cover of neon. A lot of guys can play it nicely but this is the first time I've seen someone sing it like Mayer does.
Holy moly man!! That is freaking incredible! I think only guitarists truly know how hard this song is and then you throw in the singing at Mayer levels as well, all the whilst playing that riff?? I'm seriously impressed dude.. well done!
Holy fucking moly. This is the best cover of neon i ever seen. The guitarr and your voice mix perfect. God damb I’ve been learning this song for around 3 weeks and I’m not even close to anything like your playing. Respect homie!
Man, I've listened to Live in LA Neon probably a thousand times, and you did it perfectly in every way. Great playing, great voice! I've been gigging for 10 years, and you make me want to get so much better 👍
I’ve always said “my fingers are too chunky too get to this level” then see people like this guy absolutely smashing one of the hardest acoustic songs while freaking singing it. Truly inspirational brother ❤
Awesome! The groove is inside the pocket, ladies and gentleman. I miss these youtube perfomances. Just a guy casually playing guitar in his bedroom. No need for fancy editing.
This is hands down the best neon cover, and was note for note the version of Live in LA. Absolute killer and best vocals and guitar playing true to JM. Superb job brotha.
I was smiling throughout the entire video in pure awe and admiration of this perfect rendtion Of a song that many of us can only dream of ever playing. Wow!!
Damn, man. I have played this song this well 1000 times in my mind while driving in my car... You are the first I've seen do it justice. I can only imagine the HOURS it took for this 5 minutes and 31 seconds of awesomeness. Hats off my dude.
this song is faaar from one of the hardest songs to play on acoustic. Try looking up marcin patrzalek, don ross, tommy emanuel and this th-cam.com/video/ngAGiOoW7yY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=熊吉郎%2F兼子拓真
@@triiiiiple It's definitely one of the hardest songs that people have actually heard. I don't know why you have to be a pedantic jerk about what was essentially a comment about what a good job he did on a difficult song.
@@triiiiiple It was a subjective statement, it's not even measurable. I was making a passing comment about how difficult it is. And it is. Fingerstyle is another thing altogether, it's barely even comparable. The song you linked in fact is quick, but I have no reason to believe it's significantly more technically difficult than this version of Neon. It's easy to hear a fast song and confuse that with difficulty. I've been playing for over 20 years, don't roll in here and insult me. The arrogance is astounding. Yes, it's one of the hardest songs. I stand by that. Again "one of" denotes multiples of a general category. I shouldn't have to explain how words work. You picked a fight over something so pedantic. Go troll somewhere else.

Dude you may want to search "Neon John Mayer Cifra Club" here on yt. its a brazillian channel where you'll find a lesson on how to play neon ( and a really good cover aswell by the teacher Leo Eymard). It is naturally in brazillian portuguese but the tabs are on screen all the time while he teaches (and im pretty sure that it has subtitles for people who speak english) along with neon there are lots of tutorials of john's songs so check it out and good luck with the learning hahah (it took me a concrete week to learn neon)
Bro… as a lifelong guitarist, I love and hate this. Incredible job, really! But I’m pissed at you because I can’t play this bloody song no matter how often I come back to it. And your vocals are really impressive too. Subscribed!!! Look forward to seeing where your talent takes you.
I don't know why this was in my recos, but I thank the algorhythmic gods for this bountiful dopeness. You. Are. RIDICULOUSLY. Talented. Amazing work dude.
Hey for anyone down here this fantastic and humble guitar player is on Apple Music and Spotify but didn’t promote it. Seriously check it out, this man has some fantastic songs.
Eli, truly phenomenal. I bet this cover would go damn-near viral if you invest in a higher quality video and audio setup, to make it a higher quality video overall. The only thing as a viewer I'm craving is a higher-quality video to match your incredible musical chops. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!! I’m super happy you enjoyed the performance. I totally agree about the video quality: I’m actually starting to research how I can improve that with equipment and set design, things like that. My first investment was a tripod for my iPhone, but the quality still seems lacking. I’m working on it for sure though.
It blew my mind that he managed to play the intro perfectly, then he also started singing?! Bro is the chosen one.
Thank you so much!! I’m happy you liked it!!
Bro, john must be so proud🙏
Yeah, when he started singing, the like button just pressed itself! Great cover!
I was thumbs upping after about the first 15 seconds. Then I was like...whoa!
facts
No fancy microphones, camera, production, auto tune or anything like that. Just pure talent. Nailed it
my Recordings Sound Like Hello Kitty. Currently Plagued with Servere R.D.S.
Repretoire Deficit Syndrome. I don't know what to do next
Yes this video is pure!!
@@Hotsport_RugbySimulations Exactly like wth why would anyone not want to hear a studio quality performance of this rendition it would only sound even better and it sounds amazing already!
Hell of a guitar tho, Taylors are amazing
and hard work..
You missed the most important part… the dramatic “Good evening” haha. Killer job!!
Yea It’s so reminiscent of the excellent Where The Light Is version
This is way more than a descent version, mate. Magnificent.
Dude this is probably rhe best cover of neon I've ever heard. Amazing playing and beautiful voice, please keep it up!
Only cover I've seen that actually makes it look about as easy as John makes it seem. Absolute killer cover.
Thank you so so much!!! I’m really glad you liked it!!
Makes it look easy but also makes me realize it’s impossible :)
He just took it out of the case and thought, "Let me warm up." *starts playing neon easily* 😂😂😂😂😂
This song is top difficulcy to play in itself, and you sing on top of it really good. Awesome performance dude, props to you.
You haven’t got into jazz guitar, have you?
@@matthewrammig Pretentious.

My man is definitely where the light is. What a cover.
"a decent version"??? bro you're serious? this is beautiful. You've got serious talent
Thank you so much!!! 😃
Bro i don't even know if i prefer listening to this version or john mayer's. Is just that good
You’re the first and only person Iv seen play and sing this as effortlessly as JM. Everyone else looks like they are having a brain aneurism to keep up with the groove. You just found the pocket and never left.
Great comment!
Wonderful🎉
Search for the Leo Eymard cover
this comment is too fucking accurate. i chuckled hard from it
😂😂😂😂. Yep
Bro this was amazing. This is genuinely the best cover of this song I’ve heard.

I believe this was the Live in Los Angeles “where the light is” version, which in my opinion is the hardest one. You nailed it homie! Congrats.
Hats off to this guy, I don't want to ever hear someone say their hands are to big to play guitar. I'll just show this guy crushing it
Like every beginner guitarists wishes they had huge hands lol
@@jonbarron8049 I mean big ole fat sausage fingers, homie. Not long fingers
That intro was perfection. The playing was just like John's and the singing was insanely good. Best cover of Neon out there, hands down.
Thank you!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed!!
I was at the Nokia theatre in 2007 and saw a great version of this and you nailed it brother
you were there? nice!!!
one time in life opportunity
I'm so jealous of you (in a good way).
That is easily my favorite live album of John's by far!
@@nickolasbell4005 easily one of the best live concert ever...
See this isn’t just natural talent this is hard work naturally gifted, patience, perseverance and experience
... and a bit of talent as well ;)

Right hand technique is better than a lot of the covers I've seen. Good stuff!
Phenomenal. you've got that slap DOWN. Also, gorgeous guitar.
This is honestly the smoothest cover I’ve seen. Wow.
I've been a massive Mayer fan since 2002, and have listened to thousands of covers; this is undoubtedly the best.
I 'm sure John is going to love this...never seen anyone doing better than you with a rendition of "Neon" (and your choice, the "Where The Light Is" version, is wonderful)...a big hug from Italy my friend, this video put a smile on my face ❤️
damn dude this is insane! :0
Hes so talented and clearly extremely hard working, i did not expect the singing but im so glad i heard it
Dude, what on earth. This is amazing!
The switch into falsetto @4:50 was clean man! (Obviously along with the rest of your cover being really well done)
after 8 months ,youtube recomendded this to me again so i watch again and comment again , cant wait for your future john mayer covers
This is awesome bro I've been obsessed learning to play this song the last week or so. Keep it up Eli man you made my day.
One on the most genuine and soulful performances of this incredible masterpiece. You are GREAT.
Thank you!!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Holy shiiiiit, Eli, you monster!!!! You absolutely KILLED IT!!!!
This is hands down the most fulfilling cover of neon. A lot of guys can play it nicely but this is the first time I've seen someone sing it like Mayer does.
first time i've seen you bro, I thought it was guitar only then bro pulled out the words my jaw dropped, keep it up bro!
안녕하세요!
저는 한국의 시청자입니다.
Neon이라는 곡을 좋아하는데 오늘 당신의 동영상을 보면서 흐뭇한 미소를 지었습니다.
계속 "Neon"같이 밝게 빛나면서 기타연주를 하는 모습을 기대합니다 :)
NEW SINGLE “Tears” OUT NOW!!! STREAMING LINKS HERE: linktr.ee/EliRobichaud
You absolutely killed it dude
Looking forward to the original stuff man!
Guitar was sloppy actually
@@joseppi4cinqua How so? I’d love to hear some constructive feedback, that’s how I keep developing
@@EliRobichaudMusic if you think it’s spot on then more power to you.
Good grief! Those vocals came out of nowhere! Incredible job!
Holy moly man!! That is freaking incredible! I think only guitarists truly know how hard this song is and then you throw in the singing at Mayer levels as well, all the whilst playing that riff?? I'm seriously impressed dude.. well done!
YESS MY GUY AMAZING YOU GO ♥️
Duuuude!!!! Great job. The best and rawest cover I’ve ever watched + first one who also sings on top of that crazy difficult fingerstyle!!!
Holy fucking moly. This is the best cover of neon i ever seen. The guitarr and your voice mix perfect. God damb I’ve been learning this song for around 3 weeks and I’m not even close to anything like your playing. Respect homie!
Man, I've listened to Live in LA Neon probably a thousand times, and you did it perfectly in every way. Great playing, great voice! I've been gigging for 10 years, and you make me want to get so much better 👍
Wow… how does one keep the difficult rift going and yet still sing? Pure magic!!
That is genuinely one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
You are John Mayer in a different multiverse!! Good Job Eli!
Wow I’m blown away. This is really good and calling it that is actually an understatement. Well done.
Seriously, your intro made me feel like I was listening to the live version! Super impressive playing and great singing too!
WOW! Bro this gotta be the best Neon cover I've ever seen.
I’ve always said “my fingers are too chunky too get to this level” then see people like this guy absolutely smashing one of the hardest acoustic songs while freaking singing it. Truly inspirational brother ❤
I've seen this multiple times and it blows my mind every time. Incredible. Enormous respect to the work you put in.
The playing is obviously unbelievable but your voice is also amazing man, really loved that cover!
Dude every second just blows my mind, I can’t fathom the amount of practice required to achieve such an amazing level.
Phenomenal. Best cover ive heard of this song.
Beautiful…this is arguably the top 3 neon covers on youtube.
This is the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song. Hands down, you are amazing dude
Goooodddamnnn you're so slick with it. Keep on thumping and singin my guy. Terrific talent and superb performance. 11/10
DUDE this is insanely good !! this NEEDS to blow up so more people can recognize this guys talent !!
i cant imagine playing this let alone singing it too, great job dude!!
Bro, that's freaking baller being able to play AND sing this song. Well played dude, respect.
it blew my mind when you started singing man, i didn't expect that. What amazing cover
Awesome! The groove is inside the pocket, ladies and gentleman. I miss these youtube perfomances. Just a guy casually playing guitar in his bedroom. No need for fancy editing.
this is the best cover of neon i've seen so far, nice man
Dude, your grove, right hand tone, technique and general feel on the guitar reminds me of the great fingerstyle player Don Ross! Kudos!
Incredible! Get it bro! So good!
When he started singing, my mouse cursor moved to like button by itseft. lol
You did an amazing vídeo bro!
This is hands down the best neon cover, and was note for note the version of Live in LA. Absolute killer and best vocals and guitar playing true to JM. Superb job brotha.
Not only the playing is on point but you also manage to sing really well. My brain hasn't processed the main riff yet. You nailed it! Congrats!
Wowww the most accurate cover of this song I’ve seen!
Yo bro wadafuq, this ist by far the best Neon cover on whole TH-cam. Totally recreated Nokia Theatre performance, bravo!
I was smiling throughout the entire video in pure awe and admiration of this perfect rendtion Of a song that many of us can only dream of ever playing. Wow!!
Wow!! Awesome job Eli! ❤
You are a rocking gem ! I hope John Mayer himself watch this video.
Bro that was phenomenal.
I tried my hand this song myself and it is very hard, so good job on the playing, and your singing is just *chef’s kiss* amazing
You are the man!
This is incredibly good. This is not decent... this is incredible. Really well done. Love the intro from the live version.
Damn, man. I have played this song this well 1000 times in my mind while driving in my car...
You are the first I've seen do it justice. I can only imagine the HOURS it took for this 5 minutes and 31 seconds of awesomeness.
