Another Mayer Cover

Post by horsmar15 »

Well I haven't been playing much latley due to massive amounts of school work, but I did have time to learn another cover. This time it's split screen sadness by John Mayer. I can't take credit for the acoustic arrangement, I got it from some other dude who posted on soundclick, but I did try add my own flavor to it. Once again one track, live from in front of my computer. Check it out!

hey dude, nice cover..I think I heard the same dude cover it on sound click, unless i heard someone else which is probably unlikely...I'm liking your version better...Good voice, solid guitar playing...very good stuff...Where did you find the tab?

If it will load I'll check it out, but honestly I already don't like that song. It's got this annoying boy bandish hook to it "Two wrongs make it all alright.." Blech...

I wasn't a big fan of the original either, but after I heard the acoustic version it really grew on me. To me its like two totally different songs.

Eh, I prefer your "Love Soon" cover. Although I the vocal rhythm is off on the chorus, it still have an overall better feel when compared to your "Split Screen Sadness" effort. I think the guitar sounds really good on it as well.

The guitar sounded amazing in this cover. I would bump up the low eq a little , i think that would make it sound a little more like studio quality. The vocals were really good on this one too, i felt like you were into the song. Keep up the good work

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I'm done with Mayer covers for a while and I am moving on to bigger and better things, :lol: .
