Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl - Cover (High Quality)

[@aitken1965]

This is the most efficient version of this song that I have seen so far. Excellent!

[@TeleCarlitos]

Love that you did the keyboard part during the G section!👍🏻 It’s my fav.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Ricky Springfield, he’s a buddy of mine!!

[@TEXASLOYAL]

But, is he a "good friend"

[@JohnSKihm]

@@TEXASLOYAL I see what you did there

[@brucestorey3400]

Love Rick S's version. But always thought a heavier guitar would help. Now we have it. Brilliant! It's on my high rotation play list. What else can you give us?

[@JohnSKihm]

Thanks so much for watching! I actually just posted a new guitar cover if you'd like to check it out :)

[@jzamb]

omg this is so cool

[@chiarad.4672]

i love it:) especially the pre chorus

[@dingylizardthingy7882]

wait, so did you like redo all the guitar parts and compile it, or did u just do...idk what's going on lol

[@JohnSKihm]

Sorry for the very, very belated response! Basically, for a cover like this, I 1) Find a backing track, 2) Record my guitar playing over it in a DAW while filming it, 3) Replace the camera's (low-quality) audio with my higher quality tracks, and 4) Sync the audio and video. Hope this helps!

[@bobbyhamblen2338]

Ricky Springfield is a buddy of mine.

[@marijazivanovic4274]

thank you for this♥️

[@JohnSKihm]

You're welcome 😊

[@TEXASLOYAL]

You rock brother 👍

[@bflo5210]

Classic!... Love it bro! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Draggo_]

super old vid but if youre still on here, what are you doing at 0:26 when there's a shift from power chords? Im trying to learn this but most people just use distortion and keep doing the power chords. Yours sounds a bit better, but I cant see what you're doing. If you or anyone else could tell me, that would be great, thank you.

[@JohnSKihm]

Great question! Basically, distortion adds compression, and therefore evens out chords with more notes. I used the clean channel when playing the intro power chords , then switched to the distortion channel when using fuller versions of the chords (usually chords involving more than 2 strings). There are definitely exceptions to these rules but it works for me. Palm muting also helping articulate different types of chords as well. Let me know if you have any more questions!

[@ckjjclan]

awesome!

[@stevemoss4210]

Good effort - well done!

[@Daniela-lp8hq]

Dude, that's amazing! Can i use it for a video?

[@Linpkins]

Great cover! Yui's guitar from k-on?

[@toker53]

Pretty Damn Accurate 😍

[@newjack2166]

Roll Tide Man. With that dimebag darrell looking axe.

[@dalewetzel773]

Dime played a Les Paul?

[@scrombelloportabello7471]

This was awesome! What guitar is that?

[@JohnSKihm]

Burgie Zergie thanks! Gibson les paul trad. pro, made in 2011

[@maxthecat1235]

Is distortion used when you play and if it is, is it all the way through or only certain parts?

[@JohnSKihm]

Maxthecat123 I think I switched my amp distortion on and off at times using a footswitch

[@maxthecat1235]

Are you using a pedal and what are the setting on the pedal for the sound you are acheiving

[@stewgotz1]

not bad kid'!

[@nielle9496]

What guitar do u use and amp??

[@JohnSKihm]

Gibson les Paul traditional pro, egnater rebel 30 tube amp

[@jamesdavis5096]

first call guitarist

[@hbrookes]

If chorus guitars are tamed down slightly it makes the bridge guitars seem to be screaming..just my opinion.

[@lynnvh5445]

Wait I don't know all the terms ur using...are u actually singing the cover of this song?

[@camcahill]

This in standard tuning?

[@JohnSKihm]

Yep, it sure is!

[@ckjjclan]

where did u get the backing track?

[@JohnSKihm]

Hey, thanks for watching! I got it from guitarbackingtrack.com

[@nonnon7270]

good! wander ful guitar please TAB 🎸✨💕

[@alissacook9114]

I love the guitar in this!! Ur voice is sooo beautiful!

[@maxthecat1235]

Are you using distortion pedal what are your distortion settings?

[@JohnSKihm]

Maxthecat123 Amp distortion! Probably with a touch of chorus and flanger

[@nshdhjfjfjnzhdbbdbf7341]

I love the guitar in this!! Ur voice is sooo beautiful! where did u get the backing track?

[@JohnSKihm]

Thanks for the kind words! I believe that I found it on guitarbackingtrack.com

[@nemaheptinstall2896]

I know this is old and no one probably cares but I do hope that someone corrected this fine young person and told her that John is only doing the guitar cover here and that the vocals are still actually the very talented Rick Springfield and his band

[@mikeybthisguy6677]

Solid cover
