OTS: Acoustic Cover of "Rosie" by John Mayer

OTS: Acoustic Cover of "Rosie" by John Mayer
-----
“Take my heart by the hand...”
Not exactly an easy song to do solo, lol. Hoping you can still feel that groooove!
This is my jam, fam. This song, in my humble opinion, is the culmination of all his work. I hear each of his albums in this song. I know that's super dramatic... but hey, so am I. LOL!
Major throwback at the end of the video... do you remember the words, too?
Hope you enjoy!
Peace, love and lol.

[@richardbonillasjr5216]

I’ve never heard any person play rhythm, lead and bass on an acoustic guitar. This dude is a beast. Holy shit man!

[@saketsakeie1380]

Richard Bonillas, Jr john mayer does it.

[@richardbonillasjr5216]

Saket D They are both incredible

[@TLMSif]

Basically every fingerstyle guitar player

[@tomplum2751]

I appreciate this comment is a year old now. But if if you like that kinda thing, the acoustic fingerstyle community is huge and there's some huge talent on KZbin.

[@fernieboy6195]

Need to Listen to Mr Tommy Emmanuel

[@raysyoutubehandle]

That muted note at 2:52. GENIUS.

[@seffagepower]

Ray THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

[@pr4x571]

harmony. its really hard to do tbh

[@khoiavo]

When a humble guy like Gabe says he thinks he's got it - you know he about to drop some magic shit on you.

[@Jerguitar2]

Tuning is DGDGBE for those wondering

[@ariespurnomomusic]

Jeremey King THIS! thanks bud!

[@HanfM]

youre the man, thanks

[@johnnycha-rach1112]

Jeremey King how can you tell ?

[@israel3490]

THANKS!!!

[@jonathan0225]

either test or he knows it by ear.

[@kurtkarlson]

bro, are you in an Ikea right now??

[@mingkachow1466]

IM LEGIT CRYING

[@nashpadilla2795]

Kurt Anders oh my God 💀💀💀

[@johnny-yi2oi]

he hasn't an ikea in the world! ;)

[@detlefdeclercq8544]

It was genuinely the most funny comment I have ever read. lol cryin

[@paque-music]

hahaahhaahahaa dude youre amazing

[@mattbeermusic]

John has to see this.

[@enriquealonso2412]

The fact that you love John's music makes me love your music even more.

[@eggwhitesgood]

Can you just cover the whole album? LOL. Loving all your renditions of John Mayer. This and "Still Feel Your Man" are on replay ;p

[@garychan5980]

this is too dope not to comment

[@jjustinfierce]

"I think I got it" .... BRO YOU NAILED IT

[@gemmacalma7543]

I seriously want to see you perform with John Mayer one day or at least get some recognition from him! oh man.

[@jonathanshane256]

ME TOO MY WISH FOR HIM!

[@EulerAlvarenga1]

is there a way to tag him? He (JM) said that he watches covers of him.

[@gemmacalma7543]

From where did he mention that?

[@Imafriggingoddess]

It was on a livestream recently where John said he watches every video people tag his name on.

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Gatsu not on KZbin! He said on Instagram. He doesn't do a lot on KZbin anymore in private. Only his Vevo official channel.

[@mslmatao]

One of the best guitarist/vocalist combo on youtube IMO

[@JonahBaker]

Dude. Truly incredible talent, and amazing voice. You have a gift my friend.

[@maalaern]

Hahahah! My first reaction upon hearing your take was to LAUGH. Laugh and laugh and laugh in AWE and laugh at my guitar skills. Sad life.

[@BlasterJunos]

you're not alone...

[@hantupenjara17]

LOL

[@LexcenChan]

This is too crazy bro! Arrangement was off chops, even when the solo hit, I see what you did there!!!!! Always 💯💯💯💯

[@uscitizen3252]

Well that was flawless. Didn't expect anything less. You made me fall in love with jazz chords and now that's all that I play. So thank you. I've been a fan for 10 years. :)

[@MiniHasSwag]

4 years later and I still come back to this rendition 😁

[@evanmarr7657]

I’m not even gonna lie I watched this video expecting to be like: “Man this guy can’t even touch John Mayer” But after watching I think that’s just about as close as you can get. I’m stunned. Absolutely brilliant what you’re doing mate

[@hollyzimmerman1543]

The solo at 2:50 😍🔥

[@jikkiejikk8771]

[Verse 1] Rosie Come down and get the door for me I'm drunk again, remember when we used to be? Rosie I know you said no more for me But that was all before this dream that just came to me [Chorus] Don't leave me here Under the January rain Come let me in Take my heart by the hand And lead me back to your room And sing me your tune [Verse 2] Rosie You don't have to hide his things I'm fine with all the sorrow that tomorrow brings Whoa-oh-oh, Rosie Don't you know my love is true 'Perdon' and 'lo siento', see, I learned those words for you [Chorus] Don't leave me here Under the January rain Come let me in Take my heart by the hand And lead me back to your room And sing me your tune

[@Altimit105]

Dude. Your arrangement is amazing.

[@Enoxix.]

Bought your latest album on iTunes. Listen to it everyday! Keep up these amazing video's Gabe!

[@user-gq3vs1qv5p]

joshua hong brought me here and I'm loving it ♡

[@OscarRichardson]

Man, I've been watching you for years, and your guitar chops have improved incredibly. That solo section was right on.

[@BadCoverMan]

This is why I love your work man. You make everything your own. Nice job, yet again.

[@Davin702]

voice smooth like a peanut butter milkshake ...

[@brooklynbailey9978]

Absolutely beautiful. Proving once again why you're one of the best cover artists! I love how you don't over complicate things. So refreshing.

[@daiyantrisha]

😭 😭 😭 DUDEEEEEE. so freaking amazing.

[@justinyau1762]

Absolutely nailed it! LOVE IT!

[@katherinepatawaran3470]

Emoji of a wave next :)

[@brennenhenson3597]

Been following for about about two years now and I just want to say thank you for the inspiration you have given me and continue to give me with every video you post and every song you write. It pushes me to keep going and excites me for my career as a musician. Keep it up! I love everything you do! Much much love, -Brennen Henson

[@antoinewojcik2270]

The way you manage to play the bass riff so accurately while playing the chords in the beginning is so great ! Very inspirational thank you for sharing !

[@99tyler99]

SKRRRT CLICKED ON THIS SO GODDAMN FAST

[@hectorjimenez2213]

It is so complete even though it is just you on the guitar, great cover!

[@Jerguitar2]

Hector Jimenez I agree

[@valulloac]

I've only watched two of your videos and honestly I don't need more to subscribe, I love how you keep the soul of JM songs intact and still make them your own, such a great job!

[@MsRegineAnneE]

[@AnirbanDas7]

Dude! You're awesome! :D Sometimes I feel like you give us vibes of both John Mayer and Bruno Mars at the same time! :D

[@kimberlyramos4580]

Ive been with you since forever. Just notice me once and Ill be the happiest woman alive. I still listen to your originals up to date. I loooove you so much. Just once notice mee.

[@hiteshjethani6898]

Love all your John Mayer covers! This acoustic version of "Rosie" sounds just as good as the album version. Flawless work and so good on the ears.

[@NicolasJohnElder]

Absolutely impressed, you nailed it. Loving the JM covers. And such an humble guy too! Yes sir!

[@samkinunen]

Can you do in the blood?

[@joshmcclain]

Sam Kinunen everybody can.

[@faridmustofa694]

Josh McClain not really

[@user-gj4zp4wz8g]

[@lastofficialchannel8231]

[@randypipper92]

Moving On and Getting Over PLEEEEEEEASE!

[@user-iu7rl3ib6z]

Why you haven't uploaded any video? We all miss you.

[@stephenecobiza8657]

JESUS CHRIST GABE! THIS IS AMAZING!!! This is also my favorite song on the album, and you absolutely killed it in every aspect! With the little guitar responses, the solos, and how you still managed to keep it simple yet funky at the same time! Pure Gold!! Keep it up man! 👍🏼

[@SamJohnson26]

John Mayer is one of my biggest inspirations in both music, and life in general. Although it is, of course, not my place - I get very protective over his music. I would just like to say that your covers are the most intriguing and beautifully crafted arrangements of the songs I live my life by. You amaze me, and inspire me in a different, but equally important way. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@LekaMarx]

OMG I love you, you're getting the best songs and turning into diamonds.

[@liwanagerl]

Gabe you should definitely do a cover of Best Part by Daniel Caesar!!!

[@jessebarrera]

[@jonathanbolger6173]

Jeese, man you got some real sweet feels man. And timing, holy cow, what a great version.

[@danramirez5244]

DO NEW LIGHT BY JOHN MAYER!!!

[@rhaindeathlcook]

Please try to cover Weight in Gold by Gallant :)

[@brycestallons9677]

I love finding new musicians on KZbin and I just found you like an hour ago and I've listened to so many of your covers and wow. Just wow. You are super skilled and what a set of pipes too! one of my new favorites for sure!

[@postcardsfromj]

Didn't think you'd top the Still Feel Like Your Man cover, but you *just* did. So bloody talented! God bless you, Gabe! 🌊🎸🌊

[@jbgo2984]

i miss you Gabe!!

[@Shakururu]

Go follow his Insta, he is very active there! :)

[@JiggyRB]

Cover request: Something Like Olivia - John Mayer I would love to see your rendition of it

[@RobHarris1089]

Bro, your absolutely amazing! Like im just stunned! You deserve some recognition from the man himself, for covering his music so well! Your voice is incredible, as well as your guitar playing! Your an inspiration to all aspiring musicians thats for sure! Never Stop! Cheers!

[@chabco2305]

Man this is my favorite one from the album and I'm so glad you did thisssss

[@loukra123]

More John Mayer :D

[@13nicknasty]

Gabe, can you please do Best Part by Daniel Caesar?

[@marcosmontez8555]

only covers i've seen that get the essence of the whole song, with an original take on vocal style, i can get behind it! awesome man! Inspiring for my own playing!

[@mariehunternyc]

Your music/covers/renditions never fades kuya Gabe! More covers to come! And congrats for building a one of a kind fam! With love from PH! Mahal kita! ❤️ My future wedding singer! ❤️🙋🏻

[@louissharrocks2094]

Where did Gabe go? :(

[@_packback]

GABE I'm pretty sure many of us are still waiting for that Beauty & The Beast cover from the Moana cover :'((((

[@redrock1963]

Exceptional job Gabe - congrats on the new edition to the family.

[@n8zone]

Wooooooowww~ Blown away again bro!! So dope!!

[@theunknown25100]

Another lil one :0

[@Dat1guybruh]

How come you have hair ties on the fret?

[@robertadams8856]

Dat1guybruh it cuts out/dampens unwanted feedback and can mute string you don't want to play

[@user-yq2gi7cs5w]

oh clever

[@DaigoParry]

Robert Adams Does that mute open strings (you can’t play open strings)?

[@ThisHolographicLife]

In this case he's just using to eliminate some extra buzzing, you can see that he is still plucking the lowest two strings open quite often

[@henryly6186]

In case he loses control of all dat hair

[@Michelleissoaawesome]

Daaaaaaang Gabe! Always an excellent cover plus it's my favorite song, too!

[@inchix03]

I nearly cry while i'm watching this cover! I haven't heard this song before but seems youre the original !!! Your guitar playing is like an acoustic full band already! 😭♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭 you nailed it 👍🏻

[@nirkrawczyk4141]

I'm gonna say it, better than Mayer's version

[@nirkrawczyk4141]

I really like the melodic variation on the pre-chorus

[@nirkrawczyk4141]

I mean Mayer's like the best rhythm guitarist I know but Gabe is really good- especially considering it's not in studio. and yeah Mayer accent is borderline incomprehensible lol. mostly I like this version cause the pre chorus melody makes more sense to me than Mayer's

[@Oliver-dw8re]

Gabe has a better voice but that's not really what Mayer is about, he's an amazing artist. There's many people out there with great voices but not many people who can create songs like Mayer.

[@nirkrawczyk4141]

yeah of course I'm not comparing their song-writing, although I will say Gabe does have a few gems

[@imoji345]

What's so cool about it is his guitar seemingly "singing" with him. Daaamn

[@cherryy9538]

John would be proud! Like all of us

[@shariemaygo7149]

YASSSSS BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR COVERSSSS THIS MADE MY DAY! Youre so talented! Thank you for sharing the gift God has given you! God bless you always ! ❤

[@serafinaramos2380]

Congrats on the new addition! Welp, safe to assume you won't be on the road for a while. But I'd appreciate when you do decide dates, there's a huge notification. I'd really love to hear you live! Thanks for the covers. I'm in love with your voice. You're amazing and most definitely I'll keeping watch on your work.

[@deathluverkid]
