[@yinamb1182]

It blew my mind that he managed to play the intro perfectly, then he also started singing?! Bro is the chosen one.

[@EliRobichaudMusic]

Thank you so much!! I’m happy you liked it!!

[@CJMusic83]

Agreed ❤

[@abdelal3706]

Bro, john must be so proud🙏

[@frigyesforgo]

Yeah, when he started singing, the like button just pressed itself! Great cover!

[@chrisjamessfsd]

I was thumbs upping after about the first 15 seconds. Then I was like...whoa!

[@Naville90]

No fancy microphones, camera, production, auto tune or anything like that. Just pure talent. Nailed it

Yes this video is pure!!

Hell of a guitar tho, Taylors are amazing

[@tac6894]

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

[@TKDiscGolf]

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.

this comment is too fucking accurate. i chuckled hard from it

😂😂😂😂. Yep

[@itsonlyken]

You missed the most important part… the dramatic “Good evening” haha. Killer job!!

[@user-ih4fd9sf8x]

Haha i saw John in March , and i was waiting for it too lol

[@JB-xe1nm]

Yea It’s so reminiscent of the excellent Where The Light Is version

[@GummiSammi]

Only cover I've seen that actually makes it look about as easy as John makes it seem. Absolute killer cover.

[@EliRobichaudMusic]

Thank you so so much!!! I’m really glad you liked it!!

[@kreush7329]

Makes it look easy but also makes me realize it’s impossible :)

[@The-meme_scientist]

See this isn’t just natural talent this is hard work naturally gifted, patience, perseverance and experience

[@jamiez9546]

This is way more than a descent version, mate. Magnificent.

[@markmarki9511]

This song is top difficulcy to play in itself, and you sing on top of it really good. Awesome performance dude, props to you.

@@matthewrammig you clearly haven't played lazz, have you?

[@matthewrammig]

@@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!

[@shudson23]

He just took it out of the case and thought, "Let me warm up." *starts playing neon easily* 😂😂😂😂😂

[@108u9]

My man is definitely where the light is. What a cover.

[@goatboy_4460]

Dude this is probably rhe best cover of neon I've ever heard. Amazing playing and beautiful voice, please keep it up!

[@CzaroJCT]

"a decent version"??? bro you're serious? this is beautiful. You've got serious talent

[@EliRobichaudMusic]

Thank you so much!!! 😃

[@iMagicGraalOnline]

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.

[@EliRobichaudMusic]

Thank you!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed!!

[@alexlarson8750]

Nobody understands how hard it is to play this song, so much respect

[@_MrOcean]

I was at the Nokia theatre in 2007 and saw a great version of this and you nailed it brother

[@blah2u2kris]

Note for note, on the the guitar and vocals, this is hands down the best cover of this monstrosity of a song!

[@adamstoneking]

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.

[@ApolloRain]

Phenomenal. you've got that slap DOWN. Also, gorgeous guitar.

[@goniec1021]

Oh dude... I can't imagine how much work you have put in this. You are awesome!

[@EliRobichaudMusic]

Thank you!!! So glad you enjoyed!!

[@jasonholtkamp6483]

Damn, that was unbelievable.

[@thedanieloliver]

EPIC

[@mgpnc7828]

I've been a massive Mayer fan since 2002, and have listened to thousands of covers; this is undoubtedly the best.

[@passbyisaac]

Hes so talented and clearly extremely hard working, i did not expect the singing but im so glad i heard it

[@tesroo]

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..

[@JohnnyBGoode-nb9mr]

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.

[@gl1812]

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

[@DADA-ey2ir]

This is honestly the smoothest cover I’ve seen. Wow.

[@mikkhail]

A fly flew into my mouth looking at this cover

[@grinch528]

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.

Thank you so much!!! Appreciate the support!!

Good grief! Those vocals came out of nowhere! Incredible job!

SO GOOD! i heard this while cleaning my room and thought that it was john himself until i saw the screen!

[@johnzhibai]

after 8 months ,youtube recomendded this to me again so i watch again and comment again , cant wait for your future john mayer covers

[@waltere.poquioma3251]

I barely ever comment cause I see way too many in comments already but I don’t care this is awesome. This encourages me to keep trying

[@TheRodrigoPresley]

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.

[@JimmieChesh]

Incredible! Get it bro! So good!

Wow….Covering John Mayer guitar is no easy feat. Brilliant 😊

dang, perfect intro, perfect main riff, perfect pitch, everything is perfect and clean here❤

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.

[@christophercolwell8649]

The switch into falsetto @4:50 was clean man! (Obviously along with the rest of your cover being really well done)
