AMAZING Street Performer Mex.Fs covers the John Butler Trio's "Ocean"

[@Daiska_Plays]

Best cover of Ocean I've seen, because he's not trying to replicate it, he's doing his own version and keeping the same story it tells, with the emotion it deserves. Really really well done! The only fault is not in his playing of it, but the settings of the equipment. I really felt like the echo was dampering the quality of the playing. Just my opinion.

[@정다은-r3s]

Tanya S i'm so agree with your opinion. And i just wonder how he playing sound like echo! It's so good.

[@0713mas]

@@정다은-r3s Definitely using reverb, chorus, and compression pedals. Some sort of transducer pick up, mixed with a magnetic pickup. Although he is blended not dual sourced like John Butler's 11 string maton is!

[@정다은-r3s]

@@0713mas wow...i've forgotten this music and vidio. Thank you for your comment.

[@johnnyrob80]

I think the echo kinda gives it a cool effect

[@johnnyrob80]

Its definitely one of the best covers of this song by far

[@UnknownPatriotz]

how does this video only have 786 views ... wtf this if absolutely incredible

[@StreetSong]

Fox Kombat I agree - feel free to share the hell out of it :-) I think he's amazing!

Just a guess: John Butler's version is (in my opinion) much better and so anyone interested in this song is just going to his.

[@TheBluewarriorsheart]

@@oingoboingo1720 You're the best example of a numb elitist-consumer and this kinda "attitude" is exactly the reason why guys like him who go out on the streets to entertain ppl, sharing good vibes, have to live from a couple of dimes and a few clicks on YT, goddamned, how fucked up this society is....fck your "guessing"

[@Massygo]

Easy answer, this is a 6 string version not an 11string version. For ocean you do need the 11 strings

[@seanhoughton6375]

Beautiful. I think John him self would love this great cover.

[@mandydarcy-kincaid1303]

👌👏👏👏 Absolutely sublime

I saw this guy as I just happened to be walking through Trafalgar square in 2022. I was blown away as I stood and watched for a half hour

[@northhaven2501]

This lads right hand alone is amazing. It be great to have him in a studio setting doing this peice. We'll done

[@kemicalx17]

[@VictorHSKim]

One of the greatest performances I have seen! Bravo~

[@andyhart5303]

You make me want to quit playing guitar, so good man. You even got the mosh pigeon started at 3:29. 💪🐦

[@beatlesrhcpdmb]

Been listening to the original for a decade - you know the video - and this version game me chills first go around.

[@OnkelJann]

It‘s not possible to cover John‘s Ocean - but you feel the Ocean and play it perfect your way! Thank you Mate! 😎👍🏻

[@rinik_art]

OnkelJann it is possible...all you need is passion...and he played it quiet well.

[@rinik_art]

Its is possible buddy. There are people have played the vocabs of the same songs in a beautiful way. ALL YOU NEED IS PRACTICE AND PASSION.

[@tonysav]

I've already listened to 100 times this is a masterpiece

[@GregSmith-ob4vp]

I gotta get more Mex. F that was absurdly freeking awesome thank you so much for that performance.

[@kennethparker6590]

Floating into abyss thanks young man. That was beautiful

[@redfreedme3749]

this is a DIFFICULT song to cover and one of my all time favorite songs. Bravo!!! Keep it up young man. Never give up and dont sell yourself short. You got what it takes!

[@schluesseldererkenntnis]

no. Its the easiest song ever. Cause its up to you how wide you open your heart

[@ewanhamilton4244]

Honestly I didn't expect much because most covers of this song on KZbin murder the original song. But this absolutely blew me away. Mex.Fs you're incredible

[@VeronYong]

I never thought this was possible. I am just jaw dropped! Thank you

[@ajmailman8103]

Hands down #1 cover and only clean one I have heard. Respect

[@CharlieD954]

[@Huta207]

We saw you a few days ago in london but we couldn't stop, just wanted to let you know that you are absolutely incredible! We love your music 🙏.

[@zmongoose1]

I felt like I was listening to one of the greatest guitarist who ever played when I fist watched this. It touched my soul.

[@AlienIntervention1137]

The best cover of ocean by far ..... Wow the birds added to it.... slow motion half way through wth all the activity .....gives me an idea . Fantastic guitarist

[@wishtheworldwasdifferent8235]

Amazing. Really hope your talent takes you to the promise land. Unbelievable.

[@jimbobjonez]

What a talent as good as the original, slightly different tweaks , absolutely tenanted loved it, those steel strings hurt the fingers lol

[@moodyskye3219]

Some parts are even flashier than JB's original! Easily the most original cover I've ever heard of this. Awesome!

[@char_lou]

Ocean is a beautiful piece (my favourite guitar solo), and you have covered it impeccably ❤

[@prakharjain9068]

Wooowwwww....!!!! A perfect Cover ❣️❣️❣️❣️, It is what the word "cover" stands for..🔥🔥, Not replicating the same..but doing it in your own composition and Style. 🔥🔥

[@berlinerblues]

the greatest cover of Ocean I ever heard

[@RainerMuerle]

you are so great, that's a great own version! das ist großartig du bist super!!!

[@kennethlumsden877]

An astonishing performance from a guitar genius, absolutely amazing.

[@Bobcdn]

Nicely done! John does his with a 11 string guitar I am amazed you were able to do the song so well with a 6 string.

[@manafromheaven28]

The soul in this cover of Oceans is alive and speaking. It speaks through the heart what his passion wants to tell. Amazing.

[@Petrichor1314]

I teared up a little bit,Thankyou I am so grateful to listen to this.... I was able to loose myself into this... Bless you 😊😄✌

[@teresafrostbyte8560]

No stomp box or wah pedal either, filled it all with his hands. Thank you for letting me see that.

[@benjaminmyles5886]

Absolutely fantastic mate you played that very well I really liked that !

[@steadyparsley9199]

i love this guys attitude while he plays, i can feel it because of the way he feels it

[@noname-lm2nq]

What is the name of this Talent?

[@garysnieblay569]

great rendition.. I love how you can tell it's late summer early fall from the tips of his hair, for some reason resonates with me given the song he is playing is `Ocean`

[@scottbarbour9285]

Blinding version 👍mr Butler would be proud I’m sure

[@MartinCuticchio]

Very good!

[@rinik_art]

Beautiful cover bro❤️

[@TheSuperkolor]

[@tbghosts6526]

Truly amazing.

[@hosteladvantage4134]

Bravo man

[@davekash1]

Despite the incredible playing, I think the most impressive part of the video is the consistent wind direction blowing his hair.

[@DoktorPlay]

If you are in London and into music - don't miss him and his work. Paying 200 $ for a "premium" concert or mex.fs? I'll choose mex without a doubt!

[@MrPramii]

Smashed it! That was epic

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

The echo effect makes me feel like I'm flying in a dream. Very nice.

[@vishnumoorthy8859]

I wish I could experience someone playing this live someday.

[@MrEinSteiger]

[@into_the_void]

[@steadyparsley9199]

i cant help it, the energy of the songs he does is aw-inspiring, i just love it

[@Cleared_To_Land]

I wouldn't say this is John Butler Trio Ocean, as it were, it's impossible to cover anyway because he plays it differently every time, but in saying that, this was truly an amazing song/piece on it's on. Epic really.

[@owenduck]

this dude has such a unique finger style

[@Hypercube9]

Even the pigeon is bobbing his head to the music!

[@robs13765]

He's feeling it! Ocean Is such a hard tune to play note for note.. You've got to be in the tune its self.. As Bruce Lee said "be like water" there's no other way of covering it! Sweet job dude! 👊🤙

[@steffigenscher7920]

Amazing

[@0713mas]

Who is this guy??? He's fantastic!!!!

[@mohammedsaoudi9249]
