I’m most impressed by his sense of time. He’s keeping almost perfect time here with no backing track or metronome. With a slower song like this it can be tough.
@@bluplr Maybe but it will be a bit weird to do it for just this video as he does not do it for his live concerts. The tapping helps keep time. It's pretty common in a lot of different styles of guitar playing.
It’s actually pretty easy with practice , i’ve been an varsity band and college level classical guitar and basically you just tap your foot. You could also tap your sting which is what he’s doing and it makes it impossible to get off tempo as long as you can tap with the tempo constantly.
This is brilliant, Sungha. Been listening for 12 years now and I'm never disappointed in your music. I look forward to another vocal cover. Please never stop playing. I'm such a big fan from the U.S. Got to see you play live a few years ago. It's one of the best memories of my life! And I'm almost 60.
I'm not in the same situation as you are, watch only couples of video of him, back then and now but I'm must say this is a very touching comment. Simple, honest and so sweet. Good to see those kind words sometimes in a while. Have a wonderful week.
By saying this, you truly have low musical standards. The kid has skills but I'm afraid I can't call this talent. His guitar skills are okay, but not extraordinary.
I've grown up with Sungha, I started watching him when I was like 13 years old, and honestly, as I've gotten older I've realized more and more the difficulty, the technicality, and the nuances of his guitar playing, and one can't just help to appreciate him more.
Same here and first time was introduced by mu guitar instructor, he played his River Flows in You video on the projector in class and till now my guitar skills can't seem to ever catch up with him
If that's where your head's really at wait to you see the rest of this man's stuff and prepare to be hecken discouraged. However if you love this cover try out you're own adaptation of it 🙃 . Everyone plays differently and that is a good thing for without variety ,covers themselves would not exist.
Damn, I had forgotten about you. 7 years ago I used to watch all your videos. Today I got lucky when you came up in recommended. Awesome to see how much you’ve grown!
Very few ever master any instrument to this level of virtuosity, let alone so young. If this is not genius, I do not know what is. I always love watching Sungha play!!!
Dynamics in the pre chorus are arguably the most impressive thing in this video. Great playing. As a finger style jazz player I know that feeling is second nature to you by now, and as a listener, damn, it sounds good.
My ego was broken after I just flexed my ability to do the intro perfectly then I see this masterpiece. Joking aside, one of the best guitar covers tbh🤘
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS COVER!!! KNEW U WOULD COVER IT SOONER OR LATER ❤❤❤ THANK U SUNGHA FOR ANOTHER GREAT COVER AND INSPIRING ME EVEN MORE TO BE A BETTER GUITARIST ❤
This cover is RARE. Coz, 1. Sungha Jung actually smiled while playing it and 2. I just realised, all this time, so many subbed him without him asking for it like he did for the first time at the end of the video !!!
incredible work Sungha! You must've trained really hard to be there where you are! One of my biggest dreams is to play the guitar on the same level as you do, but on my own way! :) eternal fan from Brazil! Wish you happiness and all the kinds of success!!! :D

The last time I watched a Sungha Jung video, he was just a little kid and somebody else was writing arrangements for him. Now he's doing it all on his own. I'm glad to see what he's become today.

Dudeeeeeee I remember so many years ago I saw a video of you playing the guitar. You were just a kid but played like a professional! Now you are all grown up, I'm happy that you continued with your passion. Easiest subscription of my life!
I’m most impressed by his sense of time. He’s keeping almost perfect time here with no backing track or metronome. With a slower song like this it can be tough.
I imagine he recorded the audio wearing headphones with a metronome or backing track
yeah his fingers don't match the audio

He has been doing this for a long time. Prodigies like them always seem to have an inner clock when they are born lol

I remember seeing this kid when a guitar was bigger than him, now he’s all grown up.
That's how people work
your mom Ok thnx
so true
Man I was thinking the same thing. Time goes by too fast.
Same

@@kumentongwlangdating better than most.
looks so relaxed and comfortable when playing it’s like effortless and natural to him
And us mortals are over here dealing with back pain while playing from our bad posture 😂
That's because it is

what, as a kid still you understand the nuances:/ I would hope you bloody play, and play well to bignote like that kid:/
Same here and first time was introduced by mu guitar instructor, he played his River Flows in You video on the projector in class and till now my guitar skills can't seem to ever catch up with him
Please do Neon!
Abrapham Lincoln YESS PLEASEE
Been hoping to see it too before I die Sungha. Please. 🙏
agreed
Oh yes
+Sungha Jung
PLEASE DO IT
You managed to pull every important note of both the guitar and vocals into one beautiful arrangement. Extremely well done!
Hunter Widdoes.You're the fan of OOR, right?
There's not a single person who doesn't make a guitar face playing slow dancing in the burning rooms solo. Super satisfying.
3:30 anybody else notice that he added the extra part that John improvised in the "Where the Light Is" live performance?
It actually was Robbie McIntosh
honestly , that tour version is the only version I ever listen to - nothing will ever come close to it in terms of sheer perfection and emotion
@@shreebaniya6484 you're right mate
Alister Stalin try the rock in rio one too! That ones also awesome imo!
@@shreebaniya6484 Robbie McIntosh - what a player! Wish John and him would play together again someday.
This inspired me to sell my guitar
Never compare yourself to others and live a better life. Focus on your progress and be proud of yourself 😊
Always remember they we're a beginner too.
I can make a $ guitar sound like a $ guitar!

Imagine seeing someone do something and it inspiring you to quit, thats a pretty sad mindset bro
It is so fascinating to hear Sungha Jung's style on a John Mayer's song ! Never expected that combination
Wonderful❤️❤️
To those who are learning guitar:
Remember that, "You don't have to be great to start, you just have to start to be great."

@@Nico-bp4ur Thanks for the motivation, really needed it!
I think that goes for everything
Could listen to 2:30 - 2:47 on repeat for the rest of my life
I have literally been watching you grow up on youtube
I feel so happy and proud for you
Damn, I had forgotten about you. 7 years ago I used to watch all your videos. Today I got lucky when you came up in recommended. Awesome to see how much you’ve grown!
The little smirk at the end like "Yes I'm aware of how much I just crushed that" cracked me up. All time cover
2:40 - 2:46 my favourite part of this amazing cover
One of the best versions on TH-cam. Fabulous job! Love that PRS!
That's gotta be one of the more beautiful fret boards I've ever seen
Not tryna be a smartass, but most prs guitars have a bird style fretboards
@@zanpetric4008 I'm a piano player :)
It’s a Paul Reed Smith trademark.
That's PRS for you
If I’m correct, it’s actually John Mayer’s signature guitar, licensed by PRS
OMG I love John Mayer ❤️ Genial! 🇨🇴🇨🇴
John Mayer is a arrogant ass hole
Love him too 🇨🇴
@Scott it's the truth if you know anything about him
matthew lee Guess you haven’t learned to separate the art from the artist. Do you hate your Dad too?

If I were a rich man, I'll open a coffee shop where Sungha will play everyday.
John Silvestre you mean you will slowly kill his growth using money, just like Elvis play in Las Vegas until his deathbed?
@@elspitzwizard47 I dont think the way you do man. Mind your own problems.
I hope I could visit your coffee shop everyday! That would be awesome!
This is the best comment here
I think you said that in reverse : If you had a coffee shop where Sungha plays everyday, you would become a rich man.
I think I don't need to say..
That
It's just
Extremely legendary..
Whenever he picks up one of his guitars, he plays it like the guitar is actually singing. Keep up the great covers and originals! 😉👍
Been watching since you were a small boy! Glad to have seen you grow your talent till now!!
Yih Jie Lee I’d reword that a bit mate
@@ashd501 lol enit! I read that thinking that's abit harsh on Sungha he's amazing
Perv
I'm so stressed and this is like a chilling, raining morning. Thank you, and greetings from Colombia.
mapabu súper cierto!
The tone is so smooth and his technique from acoustic to electric transfers beautifully! Listening to it all day 👌🏽😍
Always my favorite for so many years, the electric guitar suits you so so well, what a great pleasure Sungha !! Thanks !!
Very few ever master any instrument to this level of virtuosity, let alone so young. If this is not genius, I do not know what is. I always love watching Sungha play!!!
This is so epic, as soon i saw a sungha with an electric guitar for the first time, i knew it was my destiny to smash that like button
He's always been my favorite fingerstyle player.
john mayer is so chill and relaxing
I like his interpretation. Smooth and relaxing.
Dynamics in the pre chorus are arguably the most impressive thing in this video. Great playing. As a finger style jazz player I know that feeling is second nature to you by now, and as a listener, damn, it sounds good.
Definitely, one of the better covers. A plus is no one else plays in the lower register as he does. Bravo!
Beautiful PRS
We all know Sungha is the finger picker God. But man that blues solo in the middle is also legit.
What could possibly possess someone to dislike this video? This rendition is AMAZING!
john mayer should see this
Exactly what I was thinking.
I thought the same thing too.😊
@@이중성-l2i 뭔데 이건또
He definitely will
There are lots of much better covers that he needs to see first
Love this! This is probably my favorite song from John Mayer. Well played, nice tone and what a gorgeous guitar 👌😎
Who else sing along this john mayor's song while he nailed it.. Simply the best cover of the song
My ego was broken after I just flexed my ability to do the intro perfectly then I see this masterpiece.
Joking aside, one of the best guitar covers tbh🤘
My favorite John Mayer song of all time...and this is so perfect it brings a tear to my eye. Much respect to you my friend

이렇게 멋진 기타 연주는 처음보네요 ^^
Damn John should see this! Btw more electric guitar please, this one is gorgeous😍
I remember when Jason Mraz saw him and they played together. I'd love to see him Sungha and John play together. that would be so epic
CrazyGamerTV oh yeah i’d love that too!
Agree!!!
My favorite guitarist playing my favorite Singer's songs...
That singer also happens to play guitar too :)
Dude... This guy is my inspiration, I watch this video everyday
That must be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen...Glad to see its in good hands.
Oh wow...i forgot about this guy. I remember first time seeing him when i was 19. Im 28 now. Glad he is Still producing.
Just amazing man, this made my night- and made me remember my love of guitar in this digital age
Thank you!
