John Mayer - I Don't Trust Myself W Loving U // Guitar Loop Cover

Here’s a loop cover of one of my absolute favorite Mayer tunes. Enjoy!
If you’re interested in my original music I have two albums out on all the major stores and streaming platforms. It’s all under my full name so it’s easy to find!
Occasionally I post videos on Instagram. You can find me there @seananguswatson

[@seananguswatson]

Yo everybody! I never expected this video to be watched by so many, thank you all so much. I want to let you know that I made a tutorial of how to play this jam which can be found at the link below :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHOyanqEaN-MaKM&

[@James-yi1vk]

So much soul. I'm in love with your interpretation of this song. It's one of my fav by JM. Cheers!

[@strat_guy]

Sean Angus Watson GTFO - yes. Thank you mate!!

[@tristansilver9969]

Shut up and keep playing the guitar, punk.

[@lordjubei9829]

Sean Angus Watson good job man ! Hard work and patience pays off !!!

[@natefialkoff8258]

You are incredible. Definitely 1 m in a couple years

[@Andlovethebomb]

The SFPM (stank face per minute) rate when listening to you play this is off the charts my dude

[@MrJibbin54]

This is a quality metric

[@Clare_Wilson]

Lmao literally

[@Piano_Pig]

Lovely stuff man, your dynamic control is next level!

[@HitFella]

Still here 5 years later ! And its still the most beautiful cover ever !! 🎉

[@MrWobbles]

this inspired me to get better at guitar, thanks man

[@evanzeki265]

Wtf u doing here

[@theCuchuoi1]

so... are you better at guitar yet?

[@Fahrenheit1407]

How long did it last?

[@jackfairon1519]

Come back mate

[@corpsman827]

4 years later, how's it going ?

[@seanmurphy.]

That SG is gorgeous and the dynamics in your playing is next level. Absolutely love it. Cheers for the inspiration.

[@KyleNoelMusic]

arent you supposed to be in the surgery room opening skulls up? lol jk

[@seanmurphy.]

KyleNoelMusic bahaha had so many comments like that recently 😂

[@KyleNoelMusic]

wow im so glad to hear that i honestly thought you wouldnt get it haha apparently the good doctor really was a hit

[@seanmurphy.]

Yeah, it blew up in Australia! Hahah

[@arnaudvilaseca]

test

[@MaxGauthierguitar]

This man is a master and I do not say that lightly

[@cizneerob]

3:30 is one of the tastiest licks I've heard, well done

[@DanielJones-py6hn]

I keep coming back for more, this is literally my hundredth time here. There is nothing I appreciate more than tasty, smooth, and satisfying guitar playing

[@romankok]

Dude... pleeeease keep the JM covers coming. There is loads of material he has that you would absolutely rock with your beautiful style

[@seananguswatson]

okay :)

[@CityStarrzz]

This guy said exactly what all of us JM fans are thinking. Holy Chris dude, you're seriously skilled.

[@ThePersonalproject12]

PLEASE!

[@cage511]

Slow dancing in a burning room!

[@titaniumabs]

Sean Angus Watson let's get some Vultures

[@hadeedlez9450]

I wonder if John mayer has seen this. I imagine it would induce an emotional response

[@boosh90]

he would be wondering why HE didn't do it like that 😋

[@benniebaniel985]

as far as i know, he liked it on instagram

[@35PHaaton]

Mayer himself said in one of his interviews about playing the guitar is that you can rip off his music in any way you like. As long as you have a good understanding about the guitar, go have fun with it or do it better than he did.

[@chaos4316]

@@35PHaaton yup, spot on.

[@IonicPancakes]

This has got to be the most underrated cover of any John Mayer song I’ve ever heard

[@matt6288joyce]

My six month old baby has been crying for a while and I just put this on and gave him a hug and he has fallen asleep! THANK YOU!!!!

[@JaydenLawson]

matt6288joyce did you sing to him in a sweet little lullaby voice..... “I don’t trust myself with loving you”?

[@matt6288joyce]

Haha! I didn’t put him through the torture of hearing me sing haha

[@wingslikeairplanesTV]

That subtle tag at 2:43 for “I don’t really understand” was dynamically perfect. Your playing is so vocal, I can almost hear Mayer singing as your notes ring out. You are a phenomenal player and I’m happy to listen whenever your videos are recommended!

[@AG-vk5or]

I've been playing guitar for 18 years and this might be one of the most beautiful things I have heard on the guitar. Expressive, in control, and it tells a story.

[@jordanstromsk]

Very few people will be aware of how elite this playing truly is.

[@JaimeHammett]

This is FEELING. And I preffer feeling than speed, so much more....

[@furtherafield1292]

To this day, I've not heard anyone play with the same touch and expression. Perfect tone and flawless playing.

[@barteklewandowski4211]

Came here to say the same thing. I've been following this bloke for about 5 years and my opinion still stands.

[@pm.dreams]

@@barteklewandowski4211 Todd Pritchard is probably one of the closest guitarist to have this kind of playing and expression definitely not very many

[@justryanreally]

Very rare that I like someone's playing first time, but hot damn! Some tasty choices in there man, and the tone is bang on.

[@MGilvryAllen]

Man, I keep coming back to this, year after year. Such beautiful tone, so sensitive, just magic.

[@TJjjjjjjjjjj]

Incredibly delicate touch that was awesome , all those micro bends and soft articulations sound so beautiful

[@AlexLikesToDrum]

A+ Class playing. Incredible work man. Smoothest dynamics I've heard in a while. John would be proud.

[@MarkSinclair85]

Beautiful phrasing, tone and control of dynamics. Very refreshing to see this kind of attention to detail -- well done!

[@CarlosEGuillen]

Oh men. I have played this video my whole day. So much feeling and great dynamics.

[@comm3ntdud3]

I keep coming back to this song, great work!

[@pressplay.]

This is superb, not to mention your dynamics are spot on. Well done!

[@HG.S_]

still watching this in 2019. ugh so good.

[@MrJibbin54]

The combination of taste and technically is truly A+. Really achieved something here Sean. And of course, thank you for sharing ❤

[@_marlon]

I am speechless! This is absolutely incredible! Your bends are flawless! So tasteful too! Just amazing! Thank you for putting this out!

[@a_ndy2837]

I love that the guitar looks so damn aggressive but the tone and sound is so gentle.

[@leskobrandon8454]

I love how you're playing emulates vocals so well. Amazing job. Keep it coming!!!

[@jadonmurphy9170]

Tone is simple yet beautiful. Dialed in beautifully, played beautifully, just wow

[@balazsbende4328]

The ease with which you echo the soul of this song is beyond talent. I am amazed. Never encountered with such feel before.

[@KonflictYT]

Your dynamic range is insane. Just stumbled on this channel, instantly subbed. If you keep with this you are gonna be a top guitar channel on you tube, guaranteed.

[@seananguswatson]

thank you so much!

[@chrishoward2544]

This isn't just a cover of a song. You're putting your own soul into the music and making it your own. Please keep up the amazing work, i look forward to seeing more of your videos

[@masonwilliams1367]

That tone is incredible. By far my favorite cover of this song I’ve ever heard. Please keep the John Mayer coming!

[@ChrisVPlant]

Every time you feel discouraged about your playing or lack motivation, play this video and guaranteed you are picking up your guitar 🔥

[@VK-pk8uz]

2:20. That final chord a few seconds later was perfect. You absolutely nailed that little harmony after the long 'hold on to whatever you've got baby' melody.

[@tazrianhaq5637]

this is absolutely insane. everything about it is perfect honestly,

[@Cstark86]

I’ve come back to this so many times. Just great playing man! 👍🏻

[@marcospilimbergo5042]

This is a musical masterpiece. Truly a work of art. Bravo Sean!

[@viniciusdias7818]

I’ve been watching this since last week, at least twice per day. Dude, you’re awesome, what a fantastic video! Congrats!

[@bartacristian]

Hey Sean, just in case you ll ever read this, your playing is absolutely divine, you made me pick up my guitar and practice, thank you for the inspiration sir

[@leandershah1617]

This is by far the most elegantly played cover I’ve ever seen. Sounds phenomenal!!!!

[@brunojacq5473]

Chords and soloing: all the package is the best I could take from this performance! GREAT musicality!

[@JC-qf1jd]

mate, this is really good. Your timing and feel are exceptional. Keep em coming

[@jamesjarvis832]

Can I tell you how many times I've listened to this on repeat? I found this video years ago when I was going through a dark time in my life and the beauty of the somber interpretation of this song struck a chord with me inside. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lolc4k3]

Got the chills 3 times wow. This is one my favourite songs to play too. Thanks

[@andreaiginiocirillo4404]

I just can’t stop listening to it: it makes me dream, makes me feel good. You’ve got magic in your hands!

[@mauricerrr]

I love the glassy strat-like tone you get with those P90s, sounds great

[@buiucdragosandrei8664]

i don’t understand who’s dislikes this kind of videos ... 10 years old kids? Pure magic man, great job !

[@laki4006]

Buiuc Dragos Andrei yeah my dude

[@mariasikat8026]

...... Stiiiill coming back for this cover. I’m still in awe of how well played this version is. Helped me study for my exams as well as helped me recover from the long hours at the library!!!

[@clapton79]

So much feeling. I'm amazed of your works. Inspiring.

[@InHisWorld9131]

This may be the nicest tone I’ve ever heard

[@villarreal812]

I recently started listening to more of John Mayer's music (specifically his live performance at the Nokia Theatre in L.A.), but I had yet to hear this song. Your version is just as, if not more beautiful than John's. You're sound is incredibly soothing which makes it the perfect music to have playing while I sit back, relax, and think about life :)

[@sgthendon]

Soooooo thankful you share these videos with us! Beautiful brother! Thank you!!!

[@rafaelpeters3866]

Sensational. Such smooth dynamics... more like this please!

[@Peip692]

LOL I actually thought it was John Mayer playing, didn't realize until I scrolled down.. At the start I was thinking "oh wow yeah this is why John Mayer is so amazing"

[@pedrocosti]

This was the sexiest guitar playing I have ever watched.

[@sherazaadabdulla2694]

What is this buttery smooth divine tone!!! Beautiful

[@pagansjudgment]

This has gotten me out of a lot of bad mental states. It just gives me peace. Thank you.

[@SimonNackborn]

So sweet!

[@chrisbirch92]

I've watched quite a lot of John Mayer covers, and I would go as far as saying this is my favorite one I've ever heard.

[@13thAMG]

Subtlety in this playing style always blows me away. I spend a lifetime trying to truly hear understand and master it. Not even close to achieving that yet. Well done!

[@austinmacdonald2156]

you gotta do a setup video, love the tone you have going.

[@ericstoecker2096]

Austin Macdonald Its not his set up. He sounds like this on anything. David Gilmour is the same way. Its in his hands.

[@adinnagy2015]

heck yeah

[@alexpham095]

So the real question is how do you get your hands to sound like that.

[@adinnagy2015]

practice my friend

[@adinnagy2015]

thats only partially true tho, if its the way he sounds in all his covers, then it could be his setup, because hes doing it all the time. Yes everyone has a slightly different tone, but the guitar is like a piano, and unlike a horn. it sounds pretty much the same no matter who is playing it, if you're doing it the same way. It's not like a horn where everyone sounds very different, even on the same horn.

[@marcusthemonkey]

This is fantastic. Keep the videos coming. I’d rather listen to this than the original.

[@seananguswatson]

ahhh thank you so much!

[@Brysonhundley]

marcusthemonkey watch it, sir

[@brenddevries7792]

The whole world dropped from my shoulders for 3 minutes and 55 seconds thank you

[@Brandon-gh3pg]

Seriously, that tone is sensational! Brilliant playing.

[@SirMalone]

redbone brought me to your page. this video got my subscription. great content! Love your tone and that SG is Gorgeous!

[@seananguswatson]

thanks very much for your support mate, cheers!

[@KonflictYT]

I would love to hear you do a cover of Sleepwalk by santo and johnny. Ive commented before how much i love your channel, and i feel like your playing would be awesome to hear a variation, and maybe even your own twists.

[@vagabond8703]

It's wonderful!!! So beautiful and clean! Wow!

[@Wazzajm]

Good lawd. Everything about this is so lush and just perfect. This video I’m sure, is a catalyst for so many.

[@pianoworld89]

Wow.... I'm not a fast player. Not at all. But I love to play melodically and try to put as much feeling into it as possible. You are really a role model for me my friend! You remind my why I love music so much. I guess I really need to work on some chord theory thought as I seem to lack of ideas.

[@eddienuta]

So here I am, trying to show my best friend, @losangelesguitarist, this fabulous cover and he goes: this is my favorite cover! He already knew it... Of course, we play it, instant goose bumps.. Again, great job Sean!

[@jorr7158]

Goosebumps everytime I watch/listen to this, incredible

[@rafaelpeters3866]

How anyone could dislike this is beyond me. Some of the cleanest playing I've ever heard.

[@ST-gd3di]

John would be proud

[@justin-wz1jw]

I want to be mad that you're playing a Mayer song on an SG but goddamn you killed it man.

[@seananguswatson]

Justin Gonzalez this made me lol, thank you!

[@willpancake]

can't decide how I want to phrase my disbelief. Just wow. You took this already incredible song and just took it to a whole different level. Congratulations, Mayer would be proud.

[@TheAmorpheus]

I'm so glad I watched this! Absolutely INCREDIBLE touch, like every note you played had the exact intended dynamic. Really inspiring!

[@shanesmane]

Some of the tastiest playing I’ve seen in a long time! Really fantastic note choice, interesting rhythms and ofc the technique is phenomenal!

[@jayinman22]

This is some of the most tasteful, musical, and dynamic guitar playing I have ever watched. Incredible job. (No question that this level of guitar tone is mostly in the hands...but I'm still curious...what's your signal chain, amp, mic, etc.? This is one of the most warm and unique tones I've ever heard.)

[@seananguswatson]

Thanks! Signal chain is v simple. Guitar -> looper -> interface -> effects (comp/reverb mostly)

[@raefrazierr]

I love this whole thing but my all time favorite part of this starts at 1:57 and ends at 2:25
