1 of my favorite Mayer songs. It's his lyrical talent that has always made me a fan. Just has a very poignant and unique way of expressing things that strike common chords in so many people. A true talent regardless of what you think of the guy outside of music.
It's cool not to like John Mayer. As funny as he is, he does seem like a huge douche. But his talent, damn. If I'm anywhere near as talented as he is now some day I will feel like a fucking boss.
@Aeileo How many times do we have to hear that he's a jerk/douchebag. Stfu, you don't even know him personally. It's getting so old and annoying. Keep your small-minded opinion to yourself and just talk about the music here.
@xARMANAA I dunno how many times do you have to hear it? Again, if you don't like it, ignore it. Secondly, this isn't just stuff from tv. Have you ever seen him live? It'd be awesome if he'd just play and stop an hour long banter (and 4 covers) . So if you're gonna talk about talking music. Talk music. Don't come to me with your anger :P
@4u2 Name calling is just sad (especially when it's weak like that.) . Secondly, I'm very aware that I'm not John Mayer. I just don't like his attitude anymore. He wasn't so bad when he started. But he lost everything that made him unique. Sure he's talented and Room for Squares and Heavier Things is up there in my favorites. But he's a jerk. If you can't distinguish the difference of me disliking the person from the music then you're either 12 yr old girl, a child, or just irrational. Good luck
I love to turn on Heavier Things and just really enjoy every aspect of it. It's enjoyable from beginning to end. It's the sort of album that makes you find solace in the fact that it's a rainy monday, rather than hurt. I don't get that same feeling from Battle Studies.
Don't get me wrong, John Mayer is my favorite artist of all time, i have all his albums and everything. But he's definitely not the same guy he was when he first started out. Seemed more "innocent," i prefer that JM. But he is no doubt talented as hell.
@willraz I prefer the young JM too. I don't know if it is just he fact that he is now in his 30's. Granted he can't be that 22 year old kid again...but i just feel with his weight loss and toned body he's got all GQ. I feel like I don't know him anymore. Not that I ever did.
most of johns earlier stuff is phenominal especially "Heavier things" and "Continuum", Battle studies is good, tho i do think somethings missing from it tho i cant put my finger on it..looking forward to the battle studies tour!
@lpdrengen Battle Studies was not the same quality as the rest of John Mayer's material. He's amazing, but that album was a fluke. I'm looking forward to the redemption.
@Jimanjee21 You gotta be kidding my man....I think BattleStudies is truer to who he is...I feel like he used his earlier albums to elevate him to the status to where he could really let people know who he really is. Continuum and Battle Studies...I think that's the real John Mayer
I think you may be correct about Battle Studies lyrically. But musically Battle Studies is a lot more pop than continuum. And John is a blues guy at heart ;)
I'd say his playing was leaning in the right direction during Continuum.
@Gftdmuzician In his earlier albums, John wasn't concerned about elevating himself. This is a kid that stayed home from prom to play guitar in his room alone. He worked at a gas station and played guitar after hours. He's admitted that the person (and subsequently musician) that he was during Battle Studies isn't the true him. I don't think it's a lie, but I think it lacks John Mayer-esque things. Like decent and meaningful lyrics, musical creativeness, and chops.
@Jimanjee21 I almost feel like JM is on the "let's be a quadruple billionaire by 40 plan" with his 10 year contract with Sony. I wonder if he just needs to keep it crankin? Maybe he's sold his soul for 10 years. Almost like the parents he ridiculed in "No Such Thing". I do love him thou. Still I worry. He set the tone for me in "No Such Thing". Hope he hasn't sold his soul to the devil.
not if you have big hands. if you have bigger hands, its no problem, like i do. like the song "neon" it's got one of those chords too, but i can reach it as well. just work at it, you'll get.
In the second chord in the verses, it's so freaking hard to reach your thumb to the 13th fret like he does. I much prefer to just do that F with my pinky.
i love how he writes songs about things that are so easy to relate too. its like hes but a mirror in each song so we can say oh wow that was me 6 months ago. its very rare that an artist produces those kind of lyrics with a music style that is unique to main stream. John is awesome!!!
heh heh, repost, but i just noticed that there are no guys , other than the band, in this video..at all...well except if you count that very gay guy lip syncing at 6:17. just wait, youll see! good stuff!
Love this song and this version!!!! And the solo is just beautiful!!!!!!
