- Hey guys,
In the vein of my last video, I thought I'd try more unconventional choices for guitar covers, so here's some Mariah Carey! If you've heard this song, you'll know that she sings it absolutely perfectly - one of the best Mariah songs in ages!
So I decided to cover it, and truly hope you enjoy it! I'm also trying the talking thing for the first time. I'm going to try and talk more in future videos, so it's not just a mute that you're getting to know!
Hope you enjoy it, and as always, I'm forever grateful for your constant kindness and support.
Best wishes, and God bless you all,
Adam ;o)
He's the Bob Ross of guitar. "aaaand we'll just put a happy riff right here.. and that'll just be our little secret.."
Lmfao
Still have this on repeat, I cannot get enough of your playing!! My head is unintentionally bobbing haha
@Moonzlight He's just started talking, too! He's on "hello" and "hello Cheeky" at the moment but, God willing, his vocab will expand soon! :-)
@load222 Wow, thank you so much! That's such a great complement! I will definitely try and cover some more unconventional tracks in the near future! Glad you liked it! God bless. ;o)
Adam...as always, you are totally awesome! Your patience with Cheeky is very cool! Love this video! Thanks for sharing it with us. God bless!
Cheeky obviously enjoys your music too. Thanks for sharing your great playing. Can't stop digging your videos one after the other.
Wow!
This is freaken Amazing!
Love this Mariah song and you certainly did it justice!
@musiqladi61 You're SUPER kind, Linda! Thank you so, so much! Yup - a cover of a cover! :-) Hope you're well, and nice to hear from you again! God bless. ;o)
@jimmym0reno Thanks so much, Jimmy! Glad you liked it! Hope you're well, and can't wait for another video from you, soon! ;o)
@jessicalarewalker Thanks so much, Jessica! Glad you liked it - I have to say, I LOVE your Lady Antebellum cover - beautiful! That's the song I wanted to do next! I'm just worried people will think I'm all ballad and no rock! Lol. Still wondering what to play next! Thanks again, Jessica! God bless. ;o)
i could listen to this a million times consecutively. its really enjoyable shit. keep up the good work and continue to cover more unconventional songs.
@thetower07 Thanks so much - you're very, very kind. God bless you. As for the backing tracks - it depends what I find. If I find a really good one, I'll use that. But if I find a mediocre one, I add guitar lines to it, chop up bits of the original recordings and stick those in, in places, etc. For this one, I just added some rhythm guitar to beef it up a bit - it's a pretty good BT. You can find many of them on RUclips for people to use, too! Hope that helps, and thanks again for your kindness!
Thank you Adam. I love #YOUR little feathered friend. : ) He is sooo cute and funny. Lol
Hey if having a pet in the studio is the secret to a killer recording, I guess my dogs Emma and Rusty will have to sit in. Great cover dude, nice attention to dynamics and I like that you don't overplay. Just the right amount of soul, passion and phrasing. God Bless you and all your endeavors.
I wish I could download all these (and not just by taking them from RUclips) so I could actually listen to them with the rest of my music. You should release like a collection/album of all your RUclips covers. That'd definitely be cool imo :D
Wow.. You young man really can play them songs!
Really amazing!! Saw the other videos and was amazed by your talent!
Keep up the good job!
@violinohoe Thanks so much, that's such a kind complement! God bless you. ;o)
Adam bro you Rock. I love your clips. I actually think you should be on stage with these stars you do covers for. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future covers :-). Way to go. You got lots of natural talent and exceptional ears for hearing great details and riffs. I'm completely impressed. Thumbs up to you bro. You got skills!!!
Very nice composition Adam!.. I liked it a lot... cool idea also. You haven't posted it ages! DO MORE FOR US!
@christeringenno Thanks so much, Christer! The backing track was one of the ones I found online, although I added quite a few rhythm guitar tracks to it, to beef it up a little! Hope that helps, and God bless. ;o)
i was not expecting you to have an english accent! :) you're adorable! thanks for putting a smile on my face! AMAZING VIDEO!!!
@Vladotubular Thanks so much, Vlado! Very kind of you! It wasn't quite 362 takes - that was a joke. But I definitely lost count! Lol. ;o)
@defmonkey57 Thanks so much - very kind of you! Glad you liked it! :-)
@Xavier315 Thanks so much, Matt! You're very kind. I'm almost back - like 60% of the way there. Few more weeks, and it's 100% Lol! :-D Hope all is well with you, and God bless. ;o)
Beautiful, expressive and soul-touching as always... good to see you back after your break from the internet binge ;) Keep it up my friend!
~MXS
@TheDemizeOfEvil Thanks, Alex! You were one of the ones who told me to, so thought it was worth a go. Next video, it's rock! :-) Still thinking what's out there to play! :-)
wow..wow wow you are incredible! just discovered your channel. your music is so beautiful and soothing...a God-given talent for sure. Keep it up!
@Moonzlight Thank you so much, Reem! You are very kind - God bless you. Ws. ;o)
@fierro51 God bless you for your kind comment! Thank you so much! I'd love to make a video, but I want to see how far my current tutorial goes, before I do any more. If it goes well, I'll hold another vote and consider doing more tutorials. Hope that helps! And thank you so much for the complement on Cheeky! I shall pass it on! :-)
@FanaticQueenInGreen Haha - thanks! Listening back, I cringe, but maybe I'll get used to it with "practice" talking to a computer! Lol. God bless. ;o)
@fierro51 I will do! I'll be holding another 'vote' for tutorials, very soon, so please watch this space! God bless you, and hope you have an awesome upcoming week! :-)
Hi Adam this was great also really enjoy watching your videos keep em coming
Very nice
Love this cover Adam - as usual u r amazing!!!! Mariah Carey did the cover of Foreigner's original tune...beautifully done!!!!
Your bird just made my day :) and I love all your video's, you are really amazing!
This is really good!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Mariah Carey fan and this is awesome :) Good job.
@sportsportsport That's awesome! Satriani classic - you must do that! I look forward to hearing it! As for taking a while with takes - I find it depends. Some songs it's there within the first few runs, but with others, it takes a while. Had it not been for Cheeky, this would have been one of those quicker songs. But for other songs with key / octave changes, it takes a bit longer - Man in the Mirror was one of those. And also I improvise in my vids, so it depends if I like whatever I did! lol
Glad to hear you speak in this vid...best. accent. ever! :D And yet again you are covering one of my favorite songs of all-time! I need to learn this on my new electric guitar. By the way, have you ever covered Careless Whisper??? If so, I need to see it! If not, I'm requesting it! ;)
@bathsideboy Wow thank you so much! Very kind of you! Judging by the comments, I think Cheeky already stole the show! What can I say - he's a hard act to follow! :-) Thanks again, and hope you have a wonderful weekend! God bless. ;o)
ADAM!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX from a Brazilian fan!!!!!!!
Muito bom!!! Principalmente o seu carinho com o pássaro! Grande músico! Grande coração!Parabéns!

Cinnie Ash Thank you so much for all your kind comments - they really mean a lot to me. I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos, and am very thankful that you're taking the time to watch and leave me such humbling comments. It really means a lot! Wishing you an awesome 2014! God bless you, too! :)

@thedonace213 Thanks so much, Pablo! Very kind of you! :-)
Awesome, as always. English Accent! And your bird is adorable.
@sportsportsport Thanks so much - you're very kind! I'm onto some more I hope, soon. I'm listening out for another track to cover! Lol. You're the one who needs to put out more videos - your playing rocks! ;o)
This deserves more that just 14k views. such an amazing guitar cover, good one mate!
@amirakarrar Thank you so much, Amira! That means so much! I'm after exposure at the moment - I just need to get some more stuff up that's seen by about 10x the audience, and I could work with that. LOL. Dream on, right? :-P And I'd be honored to play this at your wedding - never played properly in Egypt, anyway! Should be awesome! :-D God bless. ;o) x
@kaznerov Hey Kaz - that's very kind of you. Here's the thing: you don't need a PRS to get that sound. Yes, the PRS does have a bit of extra midrange howl - particularly in the bridge pickup - but in all honesty, play a PRS bridge pickup with the tone rolled up to 10, and it's super bright! The secret lies in your tone knob. There's a threshold between bright and muddy - you want to try and hone in on that turning point, and that's your tone. (cont.)
@jprosasrrd Thank you so much, John! God bless. ;o)
What a masterpiece! I'm sure MC would be proud :)
Salaaaaaaaaaaaaam Dear Br.Adam..So Lovely msA! You are so talented as well as ckeeky:)) Misse Ya Bro! God Bless You always..Love your accent!!! keep smiling! Ws
@AdamLeeGuitarist haha! Thanks for the nice reply. I should make longer videos also. I might try and cover a satriani song all the way through. I'll probs spend a few days learning 'Always with me and always with you'.. but the tapping part isn't the hardest of sections, but it's bothering to learn it's tapping pattern! And my memory is dreadful. Do you find when recording it takes ages to get a good take? :)
@carlos13190 Thank you so much, Carlos! God bless. ;o)
@skemthestray Thanks so much! God bless! ;o)
I like your British accent great job like ever... god bless you Adam...
FAB ...but so funny, we too have a cockatiel. He helps me when I am working on learning a new song that I want to sing.
ending is funny. hahaha. loved this one bro! =]
dude seriously only 6k views? u deserve more
Great job, once again!
Love that Cheeky..He is so adorable!!!!
THIS IS BAD ASS OMFG YASS
And again.... I'm your fan dude! Awesome performance, I love how you "guitar cover" the vocal lines in a few nice songs! Keep em coming I'd suggest :)
Hey Adam, would you be in for a video collaboration between us? Satch's always with me always with you? I think I can learn quite a lot from you :P
Brilliant guitar playing. Oh to be 30% of your ability.
@oxdpt99 Lol! This really made me laugh! You should definitely do that! Trevor, Emma and Rusty - the three musketeers - for your next video! Can I just say thank you for watching, and it really means a lot to have a comment like this from a guitarist as talented as you! Amazing! God bless. ;o)
@sportsportsport Thanks so much! Look forward to your next video! :-)
@AdamLeeGuitarist I understand what you mean. I think doing 3 and a half minute guitar instrumental might take me ages. I'm not the most amazing guitarist but I try to have a take that displays the best of my ability, so I'm a perfectionist but not a maker of perfect guitar playing if you know what I mean. I think I can remember watching your rendition of the said song, and it was very good. =)
Wow! Amazing!
Mariah's version is great but I don't know that song needs a power and full voice to it... She sang it so soft... Idk lol I love Foreigner version more and your guitar version ;p
@kaznerov (Cont.) For me, Santana is a HUGE influence. He's my favorite guitarist on Earth - feeling, tone, musicality - it's all there with Carlos Santana. So if there's even a slight resemblance, it's because he's my biggest influence! Thus, I learned the tone knob tricks pretty early! Lol. And you can achieve it with any guitar: I'm using a PRS into a Marshal DSL-50 - perhaps the tinniest amp in the world! Just play with the settings, play with your tone, and experiment... (cont.)
@kaznerov Thanks so much, Kaz! You're super kind - sending you a message...
@PainlessTragedy Thanks so much, Mark for all your comments on this video! :-) I did play it by ear - I play everything that way - works best for me, but everyone's different, I guess! :-) And thanks for the contest idea - I think I'll be stuck to enter contests at the moment, but I'll definitely keep up with the videos! :-D You should do this cover, too, and maybe post it as a response! Your playing's come along leagues, and continues to get better and better - you're awesome now! God bless. ;)
@kiaranjay You are right, Kiaran! I did a cover of a cover in that case, haha. Mariah covered it, and I tried out her interpretation of the song with the guitar. Both the original and Mariah's are amazing - it's an awesome song! :-)
@ixluvxpete Thanks so much, Karra! Just checked out one of your videos - beautiful covers! God bless. ;o)
hahaaha love he bird, you should let him play for a wile and film it :)
A great rendition of a beautiful song. If you hadn't played so well Cheeky would have stole the show. A very entertaining vid.
@kaznerov (Cont.) ...with your playing. So much can be done with your phrasing alone. Watch Carlos on videos on YT - the way he phrases his solos is very distinct. There's an ebb and flow to a Santana solo that's unmistakable - and it's that, that makes it music. Hope that sort of helps, and sorry for rambling. I'll have a look for a video that shows this well, and send it to you in a message. God bless. ;o)
@xoran99 Thanks so much! :-)
Cheecky is so cute!!
Just me again :P I really love your thick tone. I guess that's the PRS's work? My eye fell on a PRS SE Custom 25th anniversary edition while looking for a new guitar. I'm now playing a €270 Ibanez SA limited version.
Do you put anything between your Marshall DSL and your PRS? or any signature Marshall settings? Your sound is nice and thick, but since Santana and Chappers have that same characteristic sound I guess it has got to do with PRS guitars ;)
amazing...
Wow, look at YOU!
***** Shhhhh… :p I'd rather not lol. See, truth is. This guy in this video - we ain't the same guy. Don't know where I found him!
You are good!!
@PainlessTragedy Haha, it is indeed! :-D
the best
What's the bird name? :)
really like your face when you're playing guitar.
top!!!
Adam you do not have this full video without cutting the minute 4:50 ... like to hear until finish the song.
if "this" means awesome guitar player, then yes
wow
i use this my phone ring tone❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bravo
@sportsportsport (Cont.) But it's subjective! It's often hard to do vocal covers of songs with the guitar, so I might have to make an arrangement in my head of how to make it flow - i.e. how to make one verse different from another, where you might otherwise be depending lyrical content. I blab on, and on. Lol. I'm wondering what to do next! Lol. :-) Please do your video, though - should be great!
Wow
