Stitched Up - Slight Return

[progrockcoffee]

ლಠ益ಠლ JOHN MAYER, Y U NO STOP MAKING CRAPPY POP HITS AND START MARKETING INNOVATIVE STUFF LIKE THIS?

[GiaK28]

Love this!!!

[droid740]

I ripped this into audacity and looped it. Phat as all hell.

[TheSpearsProductions]

@droid740 Nice.

[R0Y0B0Y0]

we want pre-nup yeeeeeeah



[njdkidd1231]

any one figured out the chords for this yet?

[ParsonWilkerson]

You gotta have some big ass hands to thumb an 8 string.

[MrSvjoe]

That's incredible!

[TUCKERBOLDASLOVE]

Two of the best musicians out there. Wheres Pino??

[TheTwistedmistr]

I think John's strongest genre forte's are blues and jazz.

[sk8rbuoi]

@TheTwistedmistr I wouldn't say jazz. He for sure uses jazzy kind of elements but he's even said himself he's not the best at jazz.

[TheTwistedmistr]

@sk8rbuoi I think JM was just being sarcastic when he said that. Watch and pay attentnion to the video and the way he says it. But you may be right. Either way, the man knows good jazz theory.

[DamaniMusic]

i listened to this video about a month ago and i was like this is a sick groove they've got going on here. then today i plug in my headphones and listen to it again and i notice the bass riffs mayer is playing while he's playing his guitar licks. this guy is awesome

[RyanMcVicker]

the bass is so rich it's like some kind of amazing euphoria listening to this... I really like when you get out of the box near the end and start to sound really jazzy / charlie hunter-esqe.. This is something ive always wanted to learn/get better at.. same out of the box melody/timing style as your AGT neon or lenny solos, so much flavor Thanks for the amazing videos and music!

-Ryan studying music at columbia college chicago (JM inspired me to really get into music and guitar, thanks John)

[Friendy72]

16 people have no soul.

[TheTwistedmistr]

@Friendy72 Amen!

[blues970123]

if you like this stuff then you'll love Charlie Hunter!!!....one of john's influence is Charlie hunter

[rt1789]

16 people have no neck to bob their head with.

[VicRoseMusic]

this is what it's all about!

[ixlikexscurvy]

That neck looks really uncomfortable.

[dnnysrock]

what a tone :( to die for

[hiphopsucks96]

john has that charlie hunter vibe going on near the end!

[catsof1981]

"Holla! We want pre-nup back!"??? LOL

[flatbatri]

I guy from work just came in my office and said who's this?.......................Jo­hn Mayer jamming I said....................he stood there 4 a minute and without thinking, just started nodding his head.................and if you saw this guy, he's not the type 2 just start busting a move..........Ha Ha just can't help but nod yr head 2 this shit!!

[GiaK28]

I love this one. It's awesomely amazing ;)

[Seventy6GB]

Pure magic. 

[stephypoo713]

and what about the girl who you wrote stitched up about, john? wouldn't anybody like to hear what she's doing?

[sk8rbuoi]

@stephypoo713 what the fuck are you even talking about?

[stephypoo713]

bleh! that's awesome

[MrGearguru]

Is there anything this man can't do?

[EJwannabe]

I just clicked through this and thought "Yeah, Charlie Hunter sounds pretty good here...." and then I saw it was the Mayer. Lots o' respect for playing that thing convincingly.

[natedog642]

Wow... Im 15, dont play guitar and dont listen to blues but you have seriously changed my mind on that. I play bass but im amazed at your guitar and I wanna learn now haha. Do you teach like lessons or anything or have like tips for a beginner? Oh and do you listen to Big Bill Broonzy ahaha hes amazing man.

[MrsLautner4lyf]

@natedog642 Haha story of my life (kinda), I'm 15, don't listen to blues (but everything else), and I have a guitar I suck at but I really want to play bass. After listening to John Mayer I want to play guitar but then I see Pino (not in this video) play bass with John and I'm like I want to do both lol. I just need to learn how to play that instrument then jam out with John and his people :)

[degitaarheld]

@MrsLautner4lyf

learn penatonic men and just search a bleus backing track and solo on it not that hard.

[MrsLautner4lyf]

@degitaarheld iight thanx

[MrJaapKooiman]

@GreatfulDeadfan He tells about it in the description, and I can tel you now too, it is! 8 string guitar, with bass strings.

[kaufmann94]

If me and my drummer had put this up, we would only have 5000 views and a lot of guys and gals screaming how much we sucked...

[shootthephoneco]

I'd like to see Joe Jonas groove like this. Listening to this put me into an emotional high. That beat is the goovin

[bjhMus1C]

@shootthephoneco lol, Joe Jonas can't come anywhere near this

[joskam092]

@dreamquarter so did srv, according to John mayer. Nice quote.

[dreamquarter]

this guy figured it out before he even walked out of his house

[SaltyPenguinAHT]

What kind of snare is that?

[TheSingolarmente]

@SaltyPenguinAHT

A vintage Ludwig Downbeat snare drum 4x14.

[SaltyPenguinAHT]

@TheSingolarmente wow crazy how can you tell from that far away?

[TheSingolarmente]

@SaltyPenguinAHT I'm a magician...lol

[bjhMus1C]

shit, i accidentally clicked dislike.. can someone click the like button for me?

[woneee]

@bjhMus1C I think 14 other people made the same mistake

[FirstFactionFilms]

Why did they stop at less than 4 minutes?!

[VicNastyGuitar]

Damn...you can't deny Steve on the drums...funky as hell. Nothing needs to be said about John. We know he's great.

[SoCoLittleBird]

i've never hearda bad song with john in it

[quilicimusic]

It's literally the same progression for 3 and a half minutes... and it never gets old when you're groovin' like that.

[grooveinthestate]

I'm having sex with the replay button !

[BaltiSean]

Charlie is my favorite, too ;)

[AllBlueSS]

I want this on repeat every moment of my life

[merelvh]

Sick. Really groovy

[earthchild100]

15 people are stitched up

[SaltyPenguinAHT]

Now this is groove!!

[aidanmckay4]

no, all you need is a bit of Herbie

[tylerdwells]

THE DUMBLE!!

[clarkdbro]

charlie hunter

[KAMD052694]

Lovin' the Jazz funk mix.

I gotta try improvising this on my horn,nice changes.

[richdrumwalker7]

thats all you need, well a bit of pino never hurt

[MudShark85]

i wish he'd post more of this kinda shit

[roorteam420]

that shit is DOPE!



[MichaelDamaniMusic]

mmm... that is the smoothest shit i've ever heard in my life.

[dreamquarter]

@SuzanneBeck6246 haha, yeah right

[deshun1987]

I will kill for an mp3 of this......this is so fucking smooth

[WickyGirl]

@deshun1987 youtube downloader exists

[e1cameron]

that's fire.

[nikgottheblues]

John said, that Pino and him were having lunch on one, pensive afternoon, and Pino was saying " You can't let a girl stitch you up" Johns reply " What does that mean"? Pino told him that it was to the effect of being done wrong.

[BeatlesACDCFourEver]

In the words of Charlie Hunter, John and Steve's groove is "disgusting"

Keep on rocking guys

[strumngodevil18]

I'm definently diggin' the smooth groovy feel that just seems to get into your guts. Yet again, Bravo John Mayer.

[darkaug2]

Sounds like a groovy "In Repair".. Wonder if the name "Stitched Up" is any proof of that.. ;)

[VicRoseMusic]

@darkaug2 yeah, it's the same chords but in 7ths. Also similar to the verse from Come Back to bed.

[guitarmasterjvc]

anyone know the bass head hes going into(fyi thats the amp you can actually see in this vid)

[djgca1]

The last 40 seconds of this is pure gold.  I could easily listen to John and Steve jam for hours on end.

[AzTheWorld]

719 people missed the "this is undeniably phenomenal" button.

[dude9521]

did...di....did he say dumble overdrive reverb?

[Jared2324]

did you get that from charlie hunter?!

[mozzadagozza]

love the price tag still being on the headstock

[HaleyCardamon]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS SONG!?

[lafford33]

This is where I want to be when I die.. This is my heaven.

[YourHamsandwich]

cool so heres where they came with the waiting on the world to change break, ffin love it

[OMERTA011]

I'm really into that 8 string guitar.. but can't stop asking myself could i even play it?

[MICHELLEATERRY2]

Actually, I would say John is more like a dragon than a monster...a sexy, fire breathing one!!!

[thombc]

Millions of kids around the world dream about becoming an astronaut, soccer player, scientist, F1 pilot...

I dream about one day play like this guy does...

Lord, Lord..

[xbabygirltx]

@thombc lol you're not the only one there...one day :-D

[drewhrt2]

charlie hunter

[hatebush123]

I hear a bass. Where's that coming from? Is it Pino? I's don't sees him

[richardp12]

@hatebush123 it's a novax 8 string guitar, bas and guitar on one instrument...john reaches his thumb around the neck.

[lefte18]

wow this is great I haven't watched it in a while. mayer rocks!

[immatellyouwhat]

8 Strings and Mayer still gets his thumb around the neck?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUU-

[Berleb]

Hey john, thanks to keeping me alive , after all thereis hope

[BurnsidesMusic]

Love this version. A great song and contagious groove they have here

[TheJuliusJT]

nice man... groovey

[wildcatoffense30]

great jam

[BluesIsGodsMusic]

This is sweet! Two of my favorite musicians of all time! Mayer Rocks! Oh yeah and definitely Charlie Hunter inspired.

[rickman923]

sad.....i definitely thought this was going to be on Battle Studies, but I guess it wouldn't have fit....

[jakevdrs]

@ dreadful, so what if he is lol, who says he can't get stoned?

[Romans10Verse9]

2:50 - 3:00 kinda sounds like "The Root" by D'Angelo. He might be channelling a little of that for it. It's sexy regardless.

[geordie2001]

I prefer his proper blues stuff.. vultures, slow dancing in a burning room, everyday i have the blues, and this funky stuff. Not a big fan of some of is more poppy stuff.

[mdrummanWS]

Just so you know "Everyday I Have the Blues" isn't a John Mayer Song. He knocks int out of the park but it isn't one of his songs.

[TommyDai1]

@geordie2001 we all do man, thats the truth, but hes intelligent enough to make thats stuff to get people to hear also his true voice, Blues and R&b

[collinmeyer]

it would honestly be my dream to just sit in with john like this and jam with john for a couple minutes...or even to watch steve and absorb his inherent grooviness. you just can't beat this, people...

[dude9521]

@collinmeyer Couldn't agree more.

[569013]

the groove its here

[DreadfulSolemnity]

He looks high in this.

[Sgallant10]

you can not listen to this, and i repeat CAN NOT listen to this and not bob your head to the beat, not only is john a monster on the guitar, Steve Jordan is unreal at drums. I love his symbol work.

[riazdocrat]

True that dude :)

[CurtMattack]

@Sgallant10 You're right...I even tried not to bob my head. Didn't work at all!

[natn0]

@Sgallant10 symbol? cymbal?

[oiluvanimeXD]

@Sgallant10 HA! YOUR STATEMENT FAILS. I DIDN'T BOB MY HEAD.

I tapped my foot. =3

[smtaylor580]

@oiluvanimeXD hahahaha i did both! =D

[TintedRedFilms]

@Sgallant10 *Cymbal. :P... but seriously, I agree fully.

[england716]

@Sgallant10 It is "cymbal" but yes, I agree......LOL :-)

[chadabox]

This is better than ANY song on the album battle studies, I really wish he would record shit like this, hes a Goliath on the guitar and should stop catering to his 13 year old little girl fans!!

[musicvari8ion714]

Why should he cater to your selfishness as a guitar player?? His lyric writing is just as good as his soloing. Open your mind just a little bit dude. Enjoy the music, his job isn't to teach you how to play guitar, its to make money doin what he loves. And by sayin his music is to little children then you are implying that you admire a child molester.

[plstrom]

dude that is a little too much dont yu think ?

And it is kinda true, the 13 yo girl fans stuff..

[SaturdayVoodoo]

While this is amazing, I thought the Battle Studies stuff was great too and not in any way catering to 13 year old little girl fans. It shows great musicianship on his part. The only album I think catered to little 13 year old girls is Room For Squares, which still had a few good songs

[chadabox]

if someone tabbed this out, they would be my hero.

[comrad707]

lol...."not a price tag, just inventory"...for the ignorant viewer...hahahaha....made my day

[MelleB90]

the bit at 2:55 is incredibly awesome.

[mvw5555]

i dont know what to think i mean personally i dont like kanye at all but i thought they were cool (bittersweet which was never released on graduation) and it seems like hes dissed him in the mpc 5000 beat which was funnyyyyyyy!!! and now holla we want pre nup LMAO!!

[alicesutube]

sounds gerogeous, makes me feel like dancing on a hot summer night under the stars.

electric shivers......

[elavate7]

wheres pino????? i keep seeing john and steve lol

[gumilank93]

this is awesome

[ronnieonmadrid]

this groove sounds better and better everytime i hear it. just so sick dude.

[zacharyjoely]

thats a sick groove and johns little licks he throws in are just sick haha

great song

[danielbaeder]

I hope do a jam with John someday.

[RattleAndHum1988]

Haha, i'd be too scared ot getting owned by him playing-wise.

[bashar31]

well .. i cant just guess that you dont hate john mayer when your username's " i hate john mayer".. my bad. but still, i dont think you should mock my english just to defend what ure saying. (english's not my mother tongue) and john mayer is one of the leading musicians/singers.

[guilirio]

sounds like the wind cries mary and also love rears it's ugly head...

[chadabox]

Im funkin all over the place

[caz743]

@chadabox Funkin all over the place lol i love it

[GreenRiceInc]

That's a pretty sweet groove right there.

[Kickz25]

Nice..I like it!

[jmforlife83]

"Just Jammin" !

[mghJD]

Not so much "Stitched up" as Living Colour - Love Rears it's Ugly Head

[bashar31]

Hey " ihatejohnmayer" i think you dont have a life.. and u've got nothing better at all to do.. than to show that u hate johnmayer... plus johnmayer's known for blending two different styles.. and hes music's good. thought some people may not like it.. but even if u dont like u have to show ur respect hes one of the leading musicians/singer. and my last words for you "ihatejohnmayer" .... If Eric Clapton got John mayer to play in " crossroads" then john mayer's worth all the respect.

[supersingerevan]

yeah, i agree with paigerocks884, go look at his channel before you speak. he's actually a fan. confused me too, but w/e, don't knock him.

[gracien825]

You shouldn't give out grammar advice if you can't spell check your own work. I think you meant second gradeR.

[IhateJohnMayer]

Hahahaha thanks!

[legoman3082]

this is so raw, that thing hes doing on the bell of the hi hat sounds so cool, ive never seen that done before.

[megandilucca]

he is freaking amazing

[PrincessShittyBottom]

Also, try this one on for size:

Amin, Eb, Cmaj, Csus7,D#, E Gmaj, and D.

Please, please, do try to contain your applause.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

This composition would sound so much better this way:

E, B?, C#Db, Eb, Fmaj, and Amin

Great huh?

[boutilierroger]

shitt that sounds mintt

[Snakepit2000]

geil, er hat noch das preisschild an der kopfplatte ^^

[jgordon0033]

this is pretty damn groovy!! i really hope john doesn' go back to the pop stuff that he used to do! (not saying that it was bad i just like the last two records better)..i hope he keeps the soulful, bluessy, rock vibe that he had on try and continuum.

[gopi138]

You've got to come to ARGENTINA!!!

please please please!!

[PrincessShittyBottom]

Article 1 Section 8 states verbatim and to wit: YouTube may have the right to accept comments but not regulate the value thereof. To remove comments would be therefore unconstitutional and a violation of the constitutional law.

[ModestGuy1]

Lighten up. Consider that?

[Turb1ne]

Screw you mr. nice guy!

Your username is ModestGuy1 for cryin' out loud...

[ModestGuy1]

people who write stupid things should think twice before they comment.. including you. Good video John. Sounding good.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

YouTube doctrine is immune to differences of social class, creed, and ideological orientation. Diplomatic sanction may be placed on comments but that the right to comment peaceably and raise a militia must be protected. That is all.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

People who put thumbs down on the comments of other anonymous people merely because they disagree with them ideologically are really immature.

[paigerocks884]

or maybe its just constructive criticism,which is quite the mature thing to do.

[IhateJohnMayer]

Nice username.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

Why thank, you.

Nice Username, buddy.

What do you say we snort coke together?

(*SNIFF*)

[IhateJohnMayer]

Nahh brah

[PrincessShittyBottom]

No, really, my treat.

(*SNIFF*)

[PrincessShittyBottom]

People who put thumbs down on the comments of other anonymous people are really immature.

[CrabCakes5]

Does anyone know who makes those pants he wears, the black ones w/ the white lace, he wears those everywhere and can't find them, awesome playing, super smooth~

[kevlar1818]

diggin the sound. awesome tone

[yarzilane]

music is john mayer.

:)

[gongshowhockey1991]

its so nice being THAT good cuz he can play on whatever guitar, amp, and pedal he feels like...its good to be John Mayer

[salvamg89]

you gotta have mayer hands to be able to play that kickass guitar

[piccicacca]

monster hands . 6 foot 5 inches hands .

6ft 3in
