a man standing alone facing this huge mass of people. his guitar is the weapon, his soul is the bullets. he wins the battle and conquers the whole crowd.. awesome
autant d'énergie avec une seule guitare, rien d'autre (si un pied :p)... c'est juste, pour moi, le meilleur ascenseur émotionnel au monde... avant d'écouter t'es normal... t'écoute, t'es loin au dessus d'la terre au pays du bonheur rose... t'as finit d'écouter, t'es deg et tu violes le bouton replay... encooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore !!
This song makes you wanna live, makes you wanna breathe, makes you wanna enjoy every single moment of your life. It doesn't matter what kind of person you are, what situation in life you are in - this song sure does give you some needable strength to go on and fulfil whatever you want to fulfil. I want to thank you, John, for creating such a masterpiece. May you enjoy playing Ocean as much as we enjoy listening to it.
Any true musician knows that a song is just an energy. change is constant, therefore the same song, play at a different space in time, will always have a slightly different 'energy', which we perceive as a slightly different sound. :)
I saw him play this live in Covington, KY a week and a half ago...I'm still in awe!! He is the most incredible musician I have ever heard! There are a lot of good musicians out there, but John IS his music; and his music IS him!!! Passion sets him apart from the rest!
I think that this song gets to people, not only because of the tunes and the way it seems to touch you, but John seems to give to the audience a piece of himself each time he plays it. How was that for deep!
don't forget, and this part is crucial, to play what you like. any person, with enough time, can learn to play any song ever written. if you put in enough time and practise and dedication, you could probably play this with one hand. the real beauty of this is to be able to pour your heart into your music. do what you want with his versions as a skeleton for the being which is the song your playing :) cheers, and good luck with learning the piece! :)

He has too much feelings, he cant make one version of Ocean!! Its not enough for him to get what he has inside him, so he blows us with every performance that is different... Wow!!
So...I was playing this and my 1 yr old came running to the pc saying more...even doing the hand signs for more....so after 6-7 times playing it....it was bed time. then she started crying....screaming more.
Agreed, I'm trying to learn his song and its hard bcuz theirs at least 3 disctint different versions! So what I do is listen to each every day until I can hear the song play from my head once, that way I can combine different versions :)
@Troll975 Stop trolling. This is the pinnacle of musical composition and structure and is just absolutely gorgeous. Honestly, I am HUGE on trolling , it's fucking hilarious, but this is one song and artist that should NOT be trolled over, since I would legitimately end lives for this man's music. Thank you.
It's funny. I thought this would be crazy insane to learn. But now I've started piecing it together I'm realising just how much the open c tuning helps forming chord shapes. Ofcourse it will still be hard to get it up to the speed John plays it at, but for now I can get learning it slow :)
@MrYantoma well it`s everybodys personal preferance what to like more, but i got to say, if this was wine, i wouldn`t be able to get of my seat , because i would be that drunk :)
i just know realizided, why he keeps on changing this song. He is just changing, this song is like essence of his soul, every time sth in his heart changes, it repels in the song. to me Max seasons version, which i understand is original, is best yet, and i heard pretty much there is here thats performed by him, it just sounds more pure then this. i`m not saying that this is bad ,this is down right awsome in any way it is possible to look at. i just cant feel this version that much .
Willow Smith - I can whip mah hair back and forth! John Butler - Well I can play Ocean with mah eyes closed! Willow - ....... John -..... Willow - Shit.
@noraaron4321 he has a 12 string acoustic guitar if i see right, can't tell much more. people try the 12 string guitar but most of them put it down because it is much harder to play on it. it needs the double of strength. it is worth of a try i guess

Probably the most underrated version of the beautiful song.

There is no such thing as TOO GOOD, this man has no boundaries.
it's only a minute in & I already have goosebumps..
one of the greatest instrumental guitar pieces of my generation

sounds like a million guitars....
wonderful
J'y étais ! Encore plus fabuleux en live, j'en ai eu des frissons !
I was there, even more fabulous in live, my spine was shivering !
You can just, feel his heart pouring out into the song. That is what we need.
ive give thump ups to all the comments cause they agree in 1 thing, this is a master piece
this still gives me the same feeling every time i listen to it, without a doubt one of the greatest if not the greatest piece of music of all time!
One of the best solo by john Butler....
Gut das es noch paar loit gibt die IHN zu Schätzen wissen

the feeling he puts into song sings the words itself.....kudos to john butler who uses his talent to explain the passion of music
goosebumps every single time
the ocean blows me
It takes me 8 years for finding this guitarist and his amazing tune... Once I heard in 2012 to after I found now... 😍✌️
he is soooooooooooooooooo ORIGINAL
I think that this song gets to people, not only because of the tunes and the way it seems to touch you, but John seems to give to the audience a piece of himself each time he plays it. How was that for deep!
epitamy of music

I love those harmonics at the end, awesome job Mister Butler ...
It's amazing how this has become so well-known, I just love it!
Amazing.

No it is a different version. It's an evolving song according to John Butler himself. The rest of your statement is true :)
WHY CANT I PLAY MUSIC LIKE THIS!!! NEED MORE PRACTICE!!!

He has too much feelings, he cant make one version of Ocean!! Its not enough for him to get what he has inside him, so he blows us with every performance that is different... Wow!!

GENIO!!
If you like the guy, you'll love Astral Weeks' However, such a sick song!
Who was on his concerts thumbs up!
Agreed, I'm trying to learn his song and its hard bcuz theirs at least 3 disctint different versions! So what I do is listen to each every day until I can hear the song play from my head once, that way I can combine different versions :)
this song, is the one i want to hear at the moment of my death ! :) simply awesome
I was looking forward to lyrics the entire time
JB...an Acoustic God...
Hope he made enough from this to go out and buy that 12th string! Amazing stuff!
The whole peg is gone!! O.o
i hope your joking. a lot of artists remove it on purpose because it makes the sound better. thats an insanely expensive custom guitar.
Ty Cox
pegs gone so no new guitar tech gets any ideas lol
nijq idiot
No it's not a custom, it's a maton srs70/12 it's pretty expensive tho 2,000$.
Maybe his best Ocean.
wow

@MrYantoma by the way, i`m not from england or america or other country there people speak english easily, but your english seems great.
Ha, at 0:19 you can hear him think 'what the hell was I talking about?!! Amazing tunage. Caned
Thanks John Butler
when he ends playing i'm about to scream and make noise as if i were in between the crowd!
He definitely has a joint behind the feather on his hat
Благодаря ! :- Думите са излишни !
6:51 Just fuckin' givin'er
5:58-7:15 is the best part of the song
@geokaymojo
well said :)
I was at the first range muahaha ! ^^ A-MAZ-ING
i want to know what the one person who said they disliked this was thinking.
It's all up to you. If you like it and feel good about it - do it. As you can see, John has removed one of G-string.
It's funny. I thought this would be crazy insane to learn. But now I've started piecing it together I'm realising just how much the open c tuning helps forming chord shapes.
Ofcourse it will still be hard to get it up to the speed John plays it at, but for now I can get learning it slow :)
How is that coming along?
i want to know what the person who said they disliked this was thinking.
5:31 genius
...Though i do miss the dreadies :)
Dem nails
John ... The best ! Whats the mark and the model of his guitar? Thanks !
@MrYantoma well it`s everybodys personal preferance what to like more, but i got to say, if this was wine, i wouldn`t be able to get of my seat , because i would be that drunk :)
@noraaron4321 btw he uses a maton EM425C/12

Willow - .......
John -.....
Willow - Shit.
@kieranmreardon you guessed right
What type of a person dislikes this video? i mean lets be serious now...
Awesome! But I prefer the live at Fuji 2010. For me the best Ocean ever...
I don't think it's the best. The version in red rocks *_* Probably, i have listen it near 50 times ... And, it's always better. This guy is God *_*
@noraaron4321 he has a 12 string acoustic guitar if i see right, can't tell much more. people try the 12 string guitar but most of them put it down because it is much harder to play on it. it needs the double of strength. it is worth of a try i guess
@Marseille5 Maybe his best Ocean....for now....
@MrBrutalick Ironically maybe yours is.
