Been watching this video for years wanting to replicate Jack’s spin on this beautiful song. One day, when I can afford lessons, I’m going to pickup playing seriously, just because of this cover
I'm sure there are people enjoying it but I'm talking about the people in the camera shot who are walking right past and not paying any attention, it's a shame!
Chris Denison context...music and art create vulnerability...people in daily life are in a different mode...more respect for the performer to lay his soul out even if it's a cover only the hear a few claps.
+Chris Denison I don't always stop or watch because you cant give money to every performer there and there are many. Then come the charity workers running at you in my town to get cash we have about 20 or more in a small place that run at you and you can run from them but they will run faster, it's scary. so, you have to walk past quickly sometimes. I want to stop and listen, yet I don't always want to hand out my bus fare to walk home either. or you get the are you going to pay for listening stare. so, appreciating it is difficult.
i stopped by and spend my 10 minutes of listening to music here today ... those that walk passed should spend more time here ... awesome ... my 10minutes well spend ...
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...you communicating to the world with your guitar in the midst of all the hustle & bustle....classic :)
After seeing a performance of this from 4 yrs prior, the lad just keeps getting better. Looks like he's finally feeling what he's playing instead of just copying it. Keep it up Jackmanfriday!!!
This is absolutely amazing....Fantastic job.... great stamina too ... my fore arm never would have survived all of those hammer ons and pull offs .... BRAVO!!!!
This guy is an incredible guitar player. Truly amazed. Whether or not he wrote the music doesn't matter. The mere fact that he can play this is incredible.
This isn't difficult. Anyone who has been playing guitar seriously for a year can master this song in no-time. It just sounds hard. And take it from me. I can play the song way better than him, and i have videos on my channel to prove so.
This is a real musician. People like him arent trying to be famous They just love music. For them its not an option or a choice its who they are &what they are. You can see the pure joy in his face :)
Even if he's covering John Butler's music, this guy knows what a guitar is. I wonder how many people "criticising" this can actually play the guitar only one third of what he does.......
Hey folks! Thanks for all the comments and feedback! Great song by a great artist. After a few years I've made an updated, studio-grade cover - you can check it out on my channel if you'd like! Peace Jack Shepherd
You guys should accredit the artist who wrote the song. That is kind of messed up to say it is by Jack Man Friday when he didn't write it. The song was written by John Butler as nearly everybody here has mentioned
Jeff Porcaro Groove Master, you didn't read the poster's reply to my comment did you? It initially didn't have that in the title. He changed it after enough people like me bitched about it.
What city is this? I want to live there... I've never seen such a nice street with no cars but so many well dressed and good looking people walking by. While some people live in less fortunate places, others live in a city where a handsome guy plays his guitar with his heart, out on the street, and the street is 'civilized' enough for many people to actually hear his music. What a fantastic sight. Looking at scenes like this enables me to visualize what kind of world we're trying to build.
Santa Monica... Sydney... or it could be some Scandinavian countries... or it could be somewhere in Swiss. But it couldn't be somewhere in Asia, definitely... Not Dhaka for sure. Not even Tokyo... Doesn't really matter exactly where this place is. It could be on the moon for moon's sake. Or it could be on another planet on another solar system in another galaxy. But it looks nice.... that's all I'm saying. And I'm jealous. Yeah... that too... I wish I lived in a city like that.
A lot of covers lack the original "spirit" or essence, magic if you will ... but I would have to say Jack is on the level where you don't just hear the similar line of tones in order to form what a scientist would call a song... he captures something deeper, more profound .... Great Job man... truly beautiful
man i love seeing people immersed in their music. fck whats going on around them at that moment it's just them and the music. makes me want to be able to play an instrument
I'd love to master the percussive aspect of guitar playing, as in this video. In fact...I'd just love to be able to play like this in general. Give me a couple hundred hours of practice and I might be on the right path. Great cover dude.
I actually think this sounds MUCH better then John Butler. Surprisingly this 6 string has more notes and sounds fresher then Johns 12 string....that, and being played on the street just adds more effect....this is way better then John Butler
I have this random fantasy that one day I'll come across a street performer like this and be able to just sit down and jam out with him/her and have a good time lol I've actually been playing for a few years now and I still haven't played guitar WITH someone yet.
Why are there so many negative arseholes in the world? Looking at comments here and realise why most musicians are sitting at home doing nothing except be jealous. Enjoy this great cover and performance and try doing something yourself besides whining.
There are no grammatical flaws within my previous comment. Back to the subject though, you have no idea what you're talking about. No one who plays guitar seriously will be jelous of his skill. In fact, i can make you able to play this song within a year (better than him) even if you haven't even touched a guitar in your entire life. Think i'm bullshitting? Check my covers of this song. I know what i'm talking about.
I do actually play the guitar and I sing. I do it for a living and have been for 15 years. I may not be as good as you but I have a better attitude than you. The way you say things does prove that guitar players are cocky opinionated crybabies.
kudos to the video editor who filmed him in front of a green screen and then edited in the scene of pedestrians behind him. ya we can hear random voices in the mix, they are probably his small audience watching him or edited in to the final mix. pretty elaborate for a simple performance of a guy and his guitar.
He reminds me of that Korean guitarist on youtube! He plays and makes his own pieces with todays songs and putting a twist in them. He actually got famous, and is having concerts around the world. He could be like him! Definitely should put up a youtube channel.

Many bravos to John Butler who wrote Ocean!!! But we should admit that Jack Man Friday did a great job too!!! Great gutarists both of them!!! BRAVO!!!
How can people be walking past and not appreciating a master at work? It's incredible how people can not notice such an amazing piece of art...
Chris Denison may be wrong place at wrong time...or the camera's.. facing the other side..no
view at the front
I'm sure there are people enjoying it but I'm talking about the people in the camera shot who are walking right past and not paying any attention, it's a shame!

i was stunned at the same thing. how?!!!!
Ocean by John Butler.... could never mistake that ... beautiful
i stopped by and spend my 10 minutes of listening to music here today ... those that walk passed should spend more time here ... awesome ... my 10minutes well spend ...
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...you communicating to the world with your guitar in the midst of all the hustle & bustle....classic :)
I just love how he smiles when he's doing what he loves. Its absolutely adorable

This is absolutely amazing....Fantastic job.... great stamina too ... my fore arm never would have survived all of those hammer ons and pull offs .... BRAVO!!!!
oceans!! love that song!! What a great version!!
Never have I seen a live show of such unconventional techniques. That was beautiful. Good job!
This guy is an incredible guitar player. Truly amazed. Whether or not he wrote the music doesn't matter. The mere fact that he can play this is incredible.
Oh my Gosh.... Take my breath away- Amazing... I'm mezmorized!!!!
Damn he's really feeling the music. Learning the song on guitar is easy... feeling it is alot harder.
@Marko oOo fingerstyle is still really easy xD after like a year of on and off practice you'll be able to sight read anything... guitar is too easy.
@@Sora-o Are you serious?
@@cameronalewood3661 yea lmao
I don't get why people dislike things like this?
I don't think they realize how difficult this is and the skill level that this takes to play.
This isn't difficult. Anyone who has been playing guitar seriously for a year can master this song in no-time. It just sounds hard. And take it from me. I can play the song way better than him, and i have videos on my channel to prove so.
+Mathias Gabrielsson this is his own version of it IMO sounds better than the original.
🤗🤗🤗
You played it really great...
Love it
🤩🤩🤩
and here I am, realizing that I in fact have not seen every cover of ocean. this one is on the top of them all
I'm learning to play guitar, I really enjoyed that. Huge respect to the talent.
So how has the journey treated ya?
I remember coming down for lunch this day from work. It was so good to get out of the office and just listen to pure beautiful music.
This woulda stopped me dead in my tracks. A unique talent.
Incredible talent!, well done indeed!
Very nice. Reminds me of the late great Michael Hedges, who was amazing live.
Still one of my faves after all these years still gives me the bumps even no its a raw cover with flaws it feels human and achievable for me✌
the fact that he can even emulate a song from john butler is incredible in and of itself lol
This is simply amazing. I smiled though the whole video. Hope to be one day as great as he is. Thumbs up man!
3:45 shit gets real man this guy is the real deal...what emotion what heart...god bless
Thank you :)
Simply Amazing!
like watching a cascading creek in a meadow with butterflies -- soothing.
this guy is totally AWESOME!!!!!!! I am so jealous of him. I would give anything to even be half the guitar player that he is
I love how he smiles to himself sometimes likes somethings just clicked
I like the way he enjoys playing the guitar
Fantastic, i could listen to him all day!
awesome cover of ocean. best I have ever heard
This is a real musician. People like him arent trying to be famous They just love music. For them its not an option or a choice its who they are &what they are.
You can see the pure joy in his face :)
sublime en stéréo! le bruit de fond, celui de ville c'y prète tres bien. une vraie performance de rue +8
Wonderful, a breath of fresh air, thank you !
Even if he's covering John Butler's music, this guy knows what a guitar is.
I wonder how many people "criticising" this can actually play the guitar only one third of what he does.......
Hey folks! Thanks for all the comments and feedback! Great song by a great artist. After a few years I've made an updated, studio-grade cover - you can check it out on my channel if you'd like! Peace

OCEAN. Love this song. Well done.
Man...this brother got skills...hope your music will take you places...Stay Blessed man.
+Josaia T B M Waradi that is the first nice thing i have read you sound like a good guy with a kind heart :)
I have the same guitar but mine does not do that...
This guy is great. I love this take on John butlers music.
You guys should accredit the artist who wrote the song. That is kind of messed up to say it is by Jack Man Friday when he didn't write it. The song was written by John Butler as nearly everybody here has mentioned
Done.

Street performer Jack Man Friday.
This one is one cover of John Butler - Ocean. Hope you enjoy that!
+Christopher Johnson That guy even has the same tattoo that John Butler has. Weird
must be a fan..like super big fan..
he created magic of oceans....superb
What city is this? I want to live there...
I've never seen such a nice street with no cars but so many well dressed and good looking people walking by.

Andy Khanh Thank you! So this is the famous Santa Monica, huh....
Chul Chang This is Australia-Sydney i think. Yes we are beautiful. Thank u.
Andy Khanh You wish buddy. It's Oz
Yet you continue to "make a big deal' outa the comments. haha.
Santa Monica... Sydney... or it could be some Scandinavian countries... or it could be somewhere in Swiss. But it couldn't be somewhere in Asia, definitely... Not Dhaka for sure. Not even Tokyo... Doesn't really matter exactly where this place is. It could be on the moon for moon's sake. Or it could be on another planet on another solar system in another galaxy.

God bless u....
Simply awesome!!!!
Who would give this a thumbs down??
Great Work.
i wish i could pay a guitar with 1/10 the skill... Amazing to watch. Beautifully executed.
Dude plays so smoothly. He hit every note.
before reading --->THE DESCRIPTION
A lot of covers lack the original "spirit" or essence, magic if you will ... but I would have to say Jack is on the level where you don't just hear the similar line of tones in order to form what a scientist would call a song... he captures something deeper, more profound .... Great Job man... truly beautiful
Awesome cover and skill Jack. Cheers Mate
Wow! World class Talent!
man i love seeing people immersed in their music. fck whats going on around them at that moment it's just them and the music. makes me want to be able to play an instrument
This goes straight to my Favourites list.
Not bad Mr.Jack....A Nice performance.......!!
I'd love to master the percussive aspect of guitar playing, as in this video. In fact...I'd just love to be able to play like this in general. Give me a couple hundred hours of practice and I might be on the right path. Great cover dude.
Still one of the best videos on youtube IMO
This cover is pretty awesome in my opinion 👌
Brilliant ! Thank you.
people don't have time to stop and listen to such a beautiful music.sigh.we are doomed!
You are really Great! Loved❤️
I don't care who wrote the song, this guy is AMAZING!!!! Just brilliant!
hell yeah buddy sounds amazing!
Best cover , like how uv added some of your own , made it sound better in my opinion , this is sick
you cant beat that feeling when your smiling away to yourself.knowing that you've cracked it.
The was great man. I loved it.
MAGNIFIQUE!!!! Continue......
Must have taken a while to learn that one, I wouldn't even tackle it, well done, well done
Mad skills dude. Well done.
I will take a street musician any day and listen to a bare bones song with no effects. Good job
Not only is it jog n butlers song ocean but john does it with a 12 string guitar so it sounds even better but dude still did good
I actually think this sounds MUCH better then John Butler. Surprisingly this 6 string has more notes and sounds fresher then Johns 12 string....that, and being played on the street just adds more effect....this is way better then John Butler
Butler has 11 strings, actually.
Awesome to watch. Thanks man
That's really awesome!!!
That sounds like a Willy Porter cover. nice work!!!
I have this random fantasy that one day I'll come across a street performer like this and be able to just sit down and jam out with him/her and have a good time lol
I've actually been playing for a few years now and I still haven't played guitar WITH someone yet.
dam such skill. awesome bro. passion
You ate so talented-God bless
Nice performance. Appreciate it.
John Butler - Ocean !
Nice Cover :)
Why are there so many negative arseholes in the world? Looking at comments here and realise why most musicians are sitting at home doing nothing except be jealous. Enjoy this great cover and performance and try doing something yourself besides whining.
No, it's you not knowing anything about music.
Wow! What a well educated reply! Good to see you can spell well for a 6 year old.
There are no grammatical flaws within my previous comment. Back to the subject though, you have no idea what you're talking about. No one who plays guitar seriously will be jelous of his skill. In fact, i can make you able to play this song within a year (better than him) even if you haven't even touched a guitar in your entire life. Think i'm bullshitting? Check my covers of this song.

I admit my first comment was really douchy. I'm sorry.
I don't know where the endurance in your forearms comes from but that was great.... Thx for the post... great tune.
Though it is originally from john buttler's OCEAN .. I Must say this guy tried this almost same , Well played buddy .... Greetings from INDIA !!!
kudos to the video editor who filmed him in front of a green screen and then edited in the scene of pedestrians behind him. ya we can hear random voices in the mix, they are probably his small audience watching him or edited in to the final mix.
pretty elaborate for a simple performance of a guy and his guitar.
his face expression is the best ive seen so far!! lol
Who cares if he's covering another song? So many people cover songs. He's not claiming it as his own. So shut up and enjoy it. He's very talented,
Ocean!! Butler!! :D WOW awesome man!!
This is what happens when you follow your dreams. I'm proud and yet very jealous of you. Keep it up :)
A great cover of Ocean by John Butler :)
Very nice, Jack.
beautiful talent and handsome look.. perfect..😍
wow amazing music
wade Guitar
Awesome, really good,
I enjoyed it !!!
damn..u're really amazing.salute
He reminds me of that Korean guitarist on youtube! He plays and makes his own pieces with todays songs and putting a twist in them. He actually got famous, and is having concerts around the world. He could be like him! Definitely should put up a youtube channel.
