[AcrossTheUniverse66]

SARA'S FRIEND, SHE LOST HER MIND! SHE LEFT HIM AND MADE IT LOOK SEXY NOW!! x) Definitely my favorite John Mayer song.

[pani97]

This is the first Mayer song I heard, I listened to it 24/7 and spent every second of spare time perfecting it on guitar! I'm glad I heard it because now I listen to nothing else but Mayer!<3

[12345678dia]

where'd you get the pick at 0:29 ?

[JMlovergurl]

@12345678dia I honestly have no idea where I got these pictures. I just collected them from places online over the years. It's been 4 years since I put this together anyway.

Lucky girl at 1:17

[lilianhide]

I am a huge John Mayer fan, but the main riff sounds like John Frusciante stuff doesn't it?

Anyway, this is wonderful.

[TheFunkyCriminal]

[askedenseje]

@lilianhide more like Jimi Hendrix.

[alex20wild]

[GrantCrawfordMusic]

Go to my channel to see how I asked my girlfriend to prom using a original acoustic song =] She said yes! - Grant Crawford

[bboicrazy8]

Possibly my favorite Mayer song.

[chindmon2]

Wow i actually didnt know that this was live..... You see, this is how good john mayer is....

[kramertje]

10 people are on the wrong side!

[ksalat09]

So I made a station on Pandora based on this song, and when I started listening to the station, I kept skipping all of the songs and I realized that I only want to listen to this song over and over again.

John Mayer is the perfect hand.

[FreaquedeMusique]

what lyrics are that at 4:12 ?

[bboyrave]

i literally listen to this song 20 times a day and it only gets better and better.

[surfer1211]

Check out those pants @ 1:11! Thank God he became rich and bought new pants hahah!

[PMBuffington]

I want that tone!!!!! fucking love this song

[TheLeoAndujar]

aha. 10 people need another kind of green to know theyre on the right side

[Maxables]

I can't get enough of the opening guitar riff

[rgl3ma57]

when he says "sexy" in this song it just literally makes my day. i love john mayer so freaking much!!! this is my favorite song. ever.

[brucean1]

powerful lyrics, good guitar licks...john mayer is one of the few musicians today that is popular, yet also possesses talent.

[freefalling10]

can't get enough of JM !! fuckin awesome ~

[d26s10]

Sexy song isn't it? Clever lyrics, soo catchy. LOVE John.

[cowboycliche022]

Lol I love how all the top comments always have a spelling or grammar mistake(s) in them.

[2skera2]

1:57 to 2:46 : musical orgasm. Multiple.

[TheFifthTake]

I say, let him do what he wants and say what he wants to say. As long as he plays this good good shit right here.

[ReallyAmy]

eargasm 

[TheFifthTake]

2:51 Mayer as a newbie. I can tell. xD LOL.

[1234jaj]

I like the Jimmy Hendrix inspired guitar in this song sooo much. Without a doubt one of the best artists around these days

[Mharr1s]

@1234jaj jimi*

[Beeeeeeenn]

4:31 I wish those were my guitars!!



[bboicrazy8]

This is in the top three of of my favorite John Mayer songs.

[Floyd0709]

I think America needs to support much more music and artists like this if they want to be back on track again !!! Ofcourse I also mean less support for blue bitches around ...

[luciofhcg5]

hendrix's influence

[antirecordable]

@luciofhcg5

duhhh....

[MrPlainsteel]

awesome

[leviamenra]

its not just the sound of the strat but it has a different relationship with the fingers, than lets say my cheap ass guitar.

[11Tyson11]

the line says "hand" not bet... another reason for it to be about cribbage

[vivalaking]

8 people bet on 19....

[TMMSfanCLUB]

Nothing like the sound of a fender.

[StratoBlaster420]

This dude always sounds way to poppy

[quietunderwater3]

@StratoBlaster420

It's indie alternative/ blues..tosser.

[SimpIicity1]

the intro is fucking awesome!

[Andyvswild]

8 peoples fingers must have slipped

[avstne]

This intro reminds me of JH's Little Wing intro :P I don't know why, becuase they aren't that similar, but it does :)

[atPlaidLife]

There are eight people I don't get...

[seanoghughes95]

so hendrixy!! <3

[CMSpida]

the inro reminds me of Tori

[DropoutDesigns]

correction: a crappy reaction to an awesome description <3



[Luuk178]

Some visits to multiple sites (and some comments here) pointed out:

-Yes he refers to Blackjack (FrederickJaa explains it well, here below)

[in short: 19 is not a perfect hand, but if you want to try to get it to 21, the perfect hand, you risk losing it all.]

-My choice out of the meanings of "I don't need another green, I'm on the right side" is the saying "It's greener on the other side".

It's a deep song, although in my eyes unromantic (Like you don't feel like it's perfect) Reality i guess.

[kweerb8]

theres really nothing to say except that the trio is one of the best musical groups ever to play, obivously john, but the two other members are almost to their fields as john is to guitar. in my experience, there have only been a few "dream teams" of musicians in the last few decades: the experience, cream, chili peppers, the trio, dream theatre. I'm sure there are a few others but thats pretty much it. if you say john mayer has "no soul" then you're a fucking idiot.

[StevieHendrix92]

@kweerb8 Agreed, but how about the Jimi Hendrix Experience? (Or Band of Gypsies, they were pretty hot too)

[kweerb8]

@StevieHendrix92 i said the experience, i kind of say that without thinking now, but i meant the hendrix experience. Idk what band of gypsies is.

[StevieHendrix92]

@kweerb8 Oh man, Band of Gypsies was a side project that Jimi Hendrix did with Billy Cox on bass, sometimes Mitch Mitchell on drums and sometimes Buddy Miles. With Buddy it was just a funky, groovin-awesome group. It's especially cool to hear Hendrix taking a back seat, functioning as a guitarist and less as a frontman.

[IsabellaWeb2]

from wich mayer album is this?

[23roflcopter]

@IsabellaWeb2 not on any albums as far as I know :(

[SEV5472]

@IsabellaWeb2 it's from TRY

[IsabellaWeb2]

@SEV5472 thankyouuu!

[minhdiszles]

@IsabellaWeb2 John Mayer Trio - !Try!

[REDHOT1888]

john mayer's blues stuff is so much better than is pop stuff

[TheJotaman]

@REDHOT1888 Starting to agree with you...I didn't really like it at first but I cannot get enough of this song.

[bjhMus1C]

@REDHOT1888 his jazz stuff is even better than his blues stuff

[JulianHuxtable]

@bjhMus1C he doesn't play much real jazz, if any at all though?

[bjhMus1C]

@JulianHuxtable though he should

[sk8rbuoi]

@bjhMus1C He's said he butchers jazz haha so I say let him play blues and pop.

[bjhMus1C]

@sk8rbuoi he was joking around.. he was making a jazz song with one of the best jazz musicians alive, and you say he shouldn't play jazz?

[sk8rbuoi]

@bjhMus1C yeah i wouldn't call "Stitched Up" a jazz song. Its a pop song with some jazzy elements in it. And I'm not saying "JOHN MAYER DON'T PLAY JAZZ" I'm just saying if he doesn't think he does well with jazz I'm fine with him sticking to blues and jazz

[sk8rbuoi]

@bjhMus1C *blues and pop

[bjhMus1C]

@sk8rbuoi lol.. you have no idea.

[sk8rbuoi]

@bjhMus1C lol.. you're just copping out

[bjhMus1C]

@sk8rbuoi how so?

[dannyhood66]

@REDHOT1888 I dont understand how john mayer sells his pop music?''I don't get it,' The chics love it i guess, I doubt some of his pop stuff will sell 5 years from now' who knows? But he's got new pussy in every new vid i think? He's certainly got the right older influinces from 40 years ago which are very necessary playing blues,''I don't listen to john mayer but i have been told from people i respect that he's no joke,''What would you suggest listening'' Besides the Hendrix,

[musicman1160]

i dont need another kind of green........

[MariekeCkv]

I meant: what does:

"you're not the perfect hadn, but i don't hit on 19" " mean?

thnxx

[Fredrikjaa]

@MariekeCkv I think he's using blackjack as a metaphor, like, in blackjack 21 is the best that you can get, and if you want another card, you say " hit me ", and he says " you're not the perfect hand, but I don't hit on 19 ". Not the best, but very close. When you have a 19 you should be satisfied =)

[MariekeCkv]

@Fredrikjaa thankyou! Love his music, so gotta understand it. : )

I'm sorry for al these dubbelposts. I normally don't post messages on youtube.

[Hotdawg0007]

I can hear his SRV/Jimi Henrix impression in the intro...

[BillyAndCheese]

i need bass tabs for this song.

[victortolast12345]

where does this song appear?

is it the TRY version?

[CharlieKendallMusic]

Yeah this is from TRY

[CharlieKendallMusic]

Hey guys check out my cover of the guitar part on my channel please! It's also under the video responses on this video. I'd like to get your opinion!

[dbl108]

The person who tabs out the part from 3:48-4:10 will be my hero. I got the rest of the song, just can't figure that part out.

[AsianWayng]

Thats easy man just let your ear guide you

[JarnoKarperien]

This song is so good! One of my favorite =)

The lyrics are good as well.

[parkerlane13]

''your not the perfect hand, but I dont hit on 19'' what a clever lyric..thats what makes John Meyer, well, John Mayer

[corbettwalshmusic]

@parkerlane13 i agree - gotta be the coolest part of the song. i love the falsetto/vibrato!

[MariekeCkv]

What does that mean?

: ) Don't blame me, I'm dutch.

[avrajsingh123]

@parkerlane13

what does that mean?

[bluetulip326]

@avrajsingh123 that lyric is referring to Blackjack. A perfect hand would be 21, he's saying she's pretty damn close and he wouldn't gamble on finding something better.

[avrajsingh123]

@bluetulip326

ah thank you very much =)

[11Tyson11]

@bluetulip326 actually your wrong that is not about blackjack but actually referring more to cribbage because a 19 hand is impossible and used as a synonym for 0 in the game... this being way more clever than a blackjack referent.

[marley1rasta]

@11Tyson11 no id say it is blackjack sry man perfect hand is 21 he's sayin your not the perfact hand and "hit" meens give another card meen he aint takin the chance to hit on 19 so BLAKJACK my friend

[kweerb8]

@11Tyson11 no dude its about blackjack. 21 is a perfect hand, but 19 is pretty damn good, so hes saying hes not gonna risk it when he has a good hand, even if its not the ideal one.

[Danklin24]

@11Tyson11 How would you get a 19 if its impossible. The line is "i dont hit on 19" meaning if he had 19 which is close to perfect 21, he wouldn't risk going any further. It's a metaphor for a relationship with a woman. If you already have a woman thats almost perfect you wouldnt risk losing her in hopes of MAYBE finding someone better. Its totally a blackjack reference. WTF is cribbage anyway?

[KiichiIsanu]

@Danklin24 The best part is that you have 19 thumbs up.

[bigpop369]

@parkerlane13 thats my favorite lyrics of this whole song..

[Ederer009]

@parkerlane13 my favorite part about this lyric, he dated taylor swift... when she was 19

[Freedom004]

awesome

[candaceholmes77]

this song is so sexy, love it <3

[emilyxoxo4321]

ak231510-- i know what your trying to say, i saw that same interview. It was for the song 'City Love' though, not comfortable with Lydia in it. :)

[ipods4ever]

i love the riff

[ScBerndt]

who is this sarah person he mentions? is that just a girls name or did he actually write this about her?

[ak231510]

I would guess its a real person. In the song Comfortable he mentions Lydia and I saw an interview where he was talking about how he had debated changing it cause Lydia was a real person.

[parkerlane13]

good ass song..Steve Jordan is sick

[Lafuma92]

such a nice riff :)!! Like snow by red hot chili peppers :)) love it

[twenty3lane]

calling steve jordan over rated is like calling travis barker a novice

[ledhead923]

I personally don't think Travis Barker is that good. I mean, he is a solid drummer but his body movements I think trick people into thinking he is a god.

[twenty3lane]

@ledhead923 your an idiot if you dont think Barker is good...whats your definition of good then?... he tricks people? so the sound you hear coming from his drums while he plays is just him tricking people with body movements? what a dopey thing to say

[ledhead923]

I said I didn't think he was THAT good. I realize he can carry cool beats and I said he was a solid drummer, but I just think he is overrated because people get freaked out by how energetic he is on the drums. Sorry if that offends you Scout!

[twenty3lane]

@ledhead923 Scout? i can tell someone read ''too kill a mockingbird'' one too many times...it doesnt offend me it just make you look like an idiot saying travis barker isnt THAT good...hes far from overrated, hes one of the best drummers around

[pleaseRoger]

@twenty3lane

actually i think it's a little it more like calling travis barker under rated

[mrsam1324]

@twenty3lane well travis barker is certainly talented, but his musicality is not very good, he overplays a lot of times, and steve jordan never does, so travis barker is more over rated than steve jordan

[1979saxman]

@twenty3lane or it's like calling Louis Farrakhan white.......thank you ladies and gentleman, I'll be here all night!

[TOOFUNKYYY]

@twenty3lane

No, Travis Barker DOES suck. Steve Jordan is a musician. There is no comparing the two.

[Iamnotimaginative]

@TOOFUNKYYY Saying Travis Barker sucks is like... well, it's mean and untrue. :(

[DearPrudence8923]

@twenty3lane Travis Barker is a sloppy douche, but Steve Jordan is crazy good. John Mayer is fantastic though. This is a perfectly written song.

[NiggaWhatChannel]

@twenty3lane yey

[struggletoquickstand]

hes not talkin bout weed you spa,as in the grass is always greener on the other side,i dont need another kind of green to know im on the rite side with you,its meaningful ya spa hahahahaha

[parkerlane13]

@struggletoquickstand yo whats a spa?

[AMWAHW]

This is one of my favorite John Mayer tunes. I love his newer stuff..it's so bluesy:)

[sk8r12345678910]

This is old stuff, lol. His newer stuff isn't really bluesy at all.

[Snapshot3]

is he talking about weed

[diegothomas]

dont be stupid, the grass is always greener on the other side....

[feelit4]

dammit this song is so fuckin badass!!!

[ruipsoa]

the photo at 3:05 is really good

[MrBme27]

such a dope song

[Funerarios1irmao]

this song is kickass

[jmforlife83]

I agree with Flowws nobodys better than steve.... U SHOULD CHECK OUT WHERE THE LIGHT IS DVD .... HE IS UNREAL

[benfrench1]

lol he looks like michael jakson at 1:53

[ruipsoa]

this songs make me feel kinda special :P

[colorblindheartful]

ten and two like when your driving, being in your car just by yourself is lonely, kinda like why georgia, when hes talk about driving down 85, so i would be safe to say thats where hes coming from

[colorblindheartful]

very reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, this is absolutely beautiful with his perfect touch . Awesome John!

[anabananas2]

It's been a few years now since the first time I heard this song and I'm still trying to define or explain what sensations, feelings, I have when I listen to it. I just can't, it's impossible. One of my favourites by John.

[shirkmaster13]

Love this song, whole CD is great!

Jordan is really underrated as a drummer too, the trio is awesome

[Flowws]

Jordan underrated? He is widely regarded as one of the best drummers, and one of the busiest/most asked (and most famous) 'session' drummers. And great he is.

[shirkmaster13]

really?? I didn't realize, I had only heard of him a few times before I got into Mayer

Not the best I've heard by any means, but still really good

[Berrex]

One of the best songs to play on guitar! Can't stop playing it.

[HHLee59]

4:17 Steve Jordan has really fast bass drum technique, and I don't think he's using a double pedal.

[emlsjoberg]

this might be my favorite mayer song, i love it!

[RacineRacineRacine]

Just kidding, I get the whole blackjack thing now. GENIUS.

[TelecasterDanny]

it also took some time for me to get it (;

[RacineRacineRacine]

It does take some time, but that's the beauty of most of his songs. You've got to figure them out and when you do, you're like "Wow, that's genius."

But one I really haven't figured out for the longest time is in the song In Your Atmosphere when he says "The ten and two is the loneliest sight"

I've heard a lot of different explanations including hockey and steering wheels but I'm not quite sure. Do you know?

[RacineRacineRacine]

"You're not the perfect hand, but I don't hit on nineteen." Could you explain that line to be please?

[likewoah1925]

Its a BlackJack refference.

[grannie530]

In the game of Blackjack, the person with the hand closest to 21 without going over wins.... so to ask for another card at 19 would be foolish.. get it?.. The "perfect hand" would be 21.

[TelecasterDanny]

it means that she is not the "perfect hand", but if he asks for a extra card and get over 21 , he would lose .. (;

[77private29]

Very "hendrix-like" :)
