Mariah Carey - My All (Melanie Faye Guitar Cover) 

This is pure emotion, making the guitar sing.

I’ve never had the urge to learn an instrument until i discovered you. Makes me want to learn for real. Brings chills to my spine

Ladies and gentlemen- the importance of developing tone and not just "riffs and sick chords" Wonderful playing

Im convinced god gon hire you to play as people enter the gates of heaven, it’s only right😩

Never stop...

A cover of slipping away would be everythingggg

you are absolutely incredible!!! please don't ever stop!

It's the notes that aren't played, the breathing allowed for the backing, the perfect note choices that are. What beautiful playing.

I seriously appreciate the the way you use vibrato, slides, and hammer-ons/offs in your playing... the attention you give to particular notes captures emotion really well, and because of it, it feels like your sound is nearly tangible. idk if that makes any sense lmao, but you really inspire me to practice more. You're seriously my hero

I listen to this cover religiously every week. I think I’m going to finally learn it

Finally don’t have to keep replaying instagram videos! 😂❤️ love all the way from London

Mariah Carey did a cover a on this song

from the slight bends to that walk down the harmonic minor, the octave jabs, and the sliding, this was reaaaaally good on the ears. i love your work melanie!!

I've been watching this for 4 years and every time it hits like I've never heard it before. Just incredible ❤🙏🏽

You're just beautiful in every way. The soul you have shows in the way you play. Beautiful

The solid technique and a seemingly effortless fluidity of timing put you among the top tier of guitarists on RU-vid. What sets you apart is an obviously genuine heart for what you want to say with your instrument, and an incredible ear that makes the listener’s journey with you very interesting.

Sometimes when Im sad, or feeling stressed about the things happening in my daily life I watch this video and everything is well for a while.

3:42 got me hollering go get it gurl!

My biggest gripe with much of todays music (radio) is that no one plays instruments, writes their own music or actually sings (see backing tracks / vocals / autotune). It's more of a glorified kareoke now. However lately a slew of gifted musicians have emerged to bring back the love of actual musicianship. Please keep this up Ms. Faye, you are truly phenomenal.

Discovering you today was prolly the best Christmas gift I could ask for

Goddess! On the Stevie Wonder scale of ten where a ten means I’ve broken down in tears, weeping like I’m ten and I’ve just tasted ice cream for the first time despite hearing about it, you’re an eight-on the Stevie Wonder scale!! You are the best flavor of Stevie Wonder ice cream. More seriously, I’ve played the sax since I was a child. Berklee Scholarship. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I can go over the reasons I never found my musicianship like you have, but I’m giving it another go, on guitar. So I’ve been researching, listening, ready to do it right this time round. But mostly I just want to enjoy it, even if I just play alone. So I see you here, playing alone, but for this audience, for me, and I’ve learned from it. Play for myself, and play for others.

I found her after John Mayer said that she blew him away with her playing.

Why did this bring me to tears 😭 absolutely beautiful

Her music makes me feel like everything’s gonna be okay

I cant even cross my legs 😭 let alone play guitar 🎸😭

I could listen to her play all day. Candles and whine with her beautiful renditions in the background. I’d like to dedicate this to genesis

Why do I feel like this song puts me in a trance every time i hear it? Like I'll watch it, and then I'll have to keep watching it until I'm satisfied...

STILL returning to this one.

I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me be right 'Cause I've drowned in you And I won't pull through Without you by my side I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight

I’ve played guitar for 25 years, never have I feel so inspired as by Melanie. ive been brought to tears more than once by this performance. This amazing young woman, the late nite hours of practice, the poster on the wall, intimacy with the universe... brings me memories of my youth. Thank you for being so intensely yourself 😢😊

You captured Mariahs melisma in your playing and I’m just never not blown away by this

this gave me chills....

My goodness, this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard in my life. PLEASE, don’t stop making music.

The picture on the wall explains everything. Absolutely amazing!

It should be illegal to be able to play this well. Stunning!!

3years later and I'm still obsessed with this 💯 with you 💕

This cover of yours brings me to tears every time. Not once has it failed. The emotion you put into this carried through my speakers and pierced me like a nail. You are something special, thank you for sharing your sound with this world Melanie.

I love that Rock Strum technique at times that loud kinda distorted high pitch ends

My friend sent me your video and I could CRY. Omg this is so beautiful! I just want to lay on the floor, close my eyes and listen to this

I love this woman so much

I wish this cover was on spotify 🥲

Wow says it all for me👍🏻

You’ve made me realize how much I appreciate and love a new type of music your sound and just the way your music hooks my soul like a jagged hook I truly give you my upmost appreciation ❤️

I’ve listened to this at least 100 times and it never gets old

Some of the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard. I’m surprised she’s so young to improvise like that.

I listen to this everyday..this is Dope..Pure emotion, melody, takes you to a place of peace. Salute Queen👑

I come here whenever I'm feeling down, always makes me feel better

Thank you so much for this. In a music culture obsessed with faster, louder, and wilder, this is truly beautiful. Masterful.

I just brought a electric guitar 🎸 😌 I am just turning 70 . I don't anything about guitar. You inspire me so much. I love the way play. Any suggestions for a beginner. Thank you 😊 💓 I will playing this over and over again.

You are amazing! I heard John Mayer talk about you in an interview and just had to check your channel out! Glad I found it! You have a new subscriber girl! Cheers!!!

such a feel...

This takes my mind off all the shooting and everything that has been happening in are world....

A true artist. No glitz no glamour. Not a gazillion notes. Just her sitting there oozing talent❤

Okay I just want to let you know that you’re honestly so cool and i love the way you play, i love studying to this and honestly you’re just amazing

I love watching she playing

Amazing talent, guitar and sound. 10/10.

BRO THIS IS SO GOOD

Maaaaaaaad respect. It's so great to see talented black women excelling in what we created ✊🏾

I am a new old guitarist and I just want to say I thank God for your talent. Inspiring encouraging and sound soothing

Wow, just amazing....gave me chills, that’s too much soul for one person. I only wish this video was longer. Stay soulful young one! Love from California! 💚

You made my day from feeling stressed and sick, to being calm and forgetting about sickness, you're great

Wow u released the video in 240p in 2018 just adds the nostalgia

It still amazes me that a human being can make a guitar make these beautiful sounds. It's that amazement squared that that human being was this age. It's a testament to a young person working hard at something they enjoy and becoming...amazing.

This is amazing!!! You can really play and I think you have so much potential! ❤️❤️❤️

Wowza. My speakers just melted. Hot fire!

i watch this with great passion and admiration. you’re amazing, continue doing what you’re doing!

the flow.... I fxcking felt this!

That was beautiful so inspiring, Jam on and never stop. 🙏🙏

your expressions are everything

I see why you caught John Mayer's ear ..... Thanks for sharing this.

That cuts deep. Absolutely beautiful.

Mel, who taught that to y'all? Its as distinct as John Mayers way of his playing instantly is "Yep, JM". This is "Yep, Melanie Faye!"

I love you...ur so deep..ive been playing since i was 8 n im 41 n u shook me...ur on repeat

Damn, if someone could tab this. the riffs are TOO tasty

This reminds me of my memorable 2019 graduation thesis. Just a few months ago, I still was a student. Now 2020, the time!

I want to hang out with people like you

Tears from me for the beauty and soul of this.

Brazil here, im your fan ♥ 🇧🇷

My ears orgasmed so many times listening to this. My God you’re talented like i felt like the guitar was singing this to us with the same amount of passion Mariah sang it with.

love the first frame picture

I know you're supposed to be sponsored by Fender, but you seriously make me want a D'angelico. Also gotta show love to a fellow Epiphone Genesis user. Props for your guitars and your playing.
