Yup

[@brockglaze]

Mayer also plays it in one take, live, without editing after the intro. It really is insane.

[@thedominion6643]

People confuse difficult guitar parts as also being hard to sing over. Thre are way "simpler" guitar parts that are absolute nightmares to sing over because of the counter rhythms needing to be juggled. Not a guitar song (although I've made an arrangement myself), but brick by Ben folds five sounds simple to sing over but it's insanely hard.

The quality and the attention to detail was exceptional in every lesson. I think these lessons are the fastest way to learn Mayer/Hendrix's style. These tracks can be challenging but Jamie make it as easy as it can be. If you really want to step up in your guitar playing, his video courses are probably the best way to go, so do not hesitate.

I'm still struggling to play it, but I've never gotten this far in playing this song ever before. I've unsuccessfully attempted just playing the main riff a few different times over the last 5 years, but now I can actually get by playing the whole song with non-guitarists. I have the parts down, now I just have to get it all to flow together more smoothly. I got the everything pack, and if the rest of the lessons are like this, it was well worth the money.

Thanks so much for the review brother, I really appreciate you taking the time to do that and I am so glad to hear the courses helped you :-) I wondered if you might be able to copy and paste the review to trust pilot because it will get buried in the comments here and I’d love for other people to know your experience :-) only if you have a minute to do it, but it only takes a minute - you don’t have to set up an account or anything like that. Either way, thank you so much again and I hopefully will catch you soon 👊🏻👊🏻

Hey Kevin, thanks a lot for posting over on Trustpilot! :) Really appreciate that - However, I noticed it was only a 4 star review, and I just wondered is there anything we can do and improve so you would consider changing that to 5 stars? Unfortunately this drags down my average from a perfect 5 haha, so I like to keep as much of a 'clean sheet' as I can :) Let me know if I can do anything to make you feel like you received a 5 star service, not only 4 :)

[@kevincorvallis]

@@JamieHarrisonGuitar There's been research that people tend to trust/actually read 4 starts over 5 stars due to fake reviews. Didn't mean to bring you down there - I fixed it to 5.

I've actually read that before too and well done to you for thinking about that, but I know that Trustpilot has such a strong 'fake review' filter that I try and go with as high as possible (which is a clean 5.0*). That's kind of the point of the platform is that it's got the best filters for fake reviews, so I'm not sure if it applies in this case :) But I'm so thankful for all the time you've given to share your experience with others dude, and also for changing the stars! :) I didn't want to be annoying, but I also want to make sure that every student is fully satisfied or I'l return their money, so just was making sure that you were 100% happy :) Thank you so much! :)

Never clicked on a video faster

Same man, same

[@ChalkysFinest]

Ha. No shit man. As soon as i got a notification he uploaded i clicked it. I wouldn't have cared if he covered The Price is Right theme song , i was going to listen 🤣

[@ChalkysFinest]

@@JohnnyHellraiser this faster ? Ok guy

[@Phazur]

amazing playing, but it is the combination which makes it so great. I think it is unreal that he can do that at the same time and is what makes this version so great

[@davegilmer_Storyville4Life]

Man that guitar sounds so freakin’ killer! Yea the guitarist is aight I guess🤣 I wished I had long fingers🥲 sigh. Great job Mr Harrison!

[@iam_xrw]

Only John Mayer can play that last chord of the riff with his thumb like that.

[@angus9558]

umm. i can, should i be concerned?

[@brandonosborne6693]

@@angus9558 no you cant only johnny can :/

[@jacobedwards8814]

0:30 the hardest part of the song by far is getting this transition between the two grooves right. There is this sort of bounce you have pull off. You gotta listen to the og version. It’s ridiculous.

[@mauricioquiroga4070]

This guys has John Mayers's 5 ft long thumbs and I envy him lol, I still have problems reaching the 6th string with my thumb in the final chord of the riff, man this cover is flawless

[@binho2010ish]

I can't use my thumb, so i use the ring finger.

[@RealFanplayer]

Same, but thumb really makes it so much easier

[@DaveRevst4548]

Best Neon (LA) cover on the net. Still miles away from Mayer's performance. Many miles.

How Jamie Harrison makes a video: Step 1.) Put on a cool ass jacket Step 2.) Play some John Mayer Step 3.) Upload and win all the women (and men)

[@kxzlive8763]

Step 4. ) Repeat.

[@latenightthinker4737]

Mostly men

[@mariosaenz6801]
