John Mayer - Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

[Questluv24]

I came. Passed out. Then came again. When i came to consciousness i then began to weep at the sheer comprehension of that solo.

[elipser100]

he doesnt have the right voice for this song. Im not feelin it..

[jimjoguila]

Anderson Silva where u at? lol

[turbonbc]

Natural Musician

[slimjimsimmy]

solo was unreal roger

[bramzel95]

this video was in my favorites during the intro already....

[nnao1976]

無理。無理！殺す気か！！色っぽ過ぎて死ぬわ！

[howmuchhoney]

Listening to this when your high, thinking about your girlfriend is one of the best feelings in the world.

[djengle91]

It's hard to watch this video. By the time it gets to 2:41 , I explode in my pants.

[smokedout70]

oh, there's Pino!

[smokedout70]

I don't understand how people don't respect this guy's talent! Who cares what he's like in his private life, he's a great guitarist/songwriter, and he surrounded himself with a great rhythm section ,(John Mayer Trio,(also Don Henley's rhthym section) although I don't see them in this video. I like his interpretation. He uplifted a fairly sullen song,and the solo was awesome,from improvisation to phrasing!

[thesinner922]

JM: "Fuck I'm stoned. Raggae time."

[swampfizz]

ears...cerebrum..body..i got it..thanks..no matter who made it,its how you get it

[scaryroot]

What a faggot

[GZER33]

@scaryroot I hope you're sarcastic for your own sake.

[marcusssy]

2:31 the real question is: how the hell does that pick magically appear? 

[fenderkeef]

@marcusssy john mayer has super powers duhh haha but if you were being serious, you just hold it in one of your bent fingers while your finger picking

[boninhuw]

@fenderkeef thats right! when i met him in CPH he told me basically what you said... the pick is between the bent fingers 1 and 2

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

Let him have his hendrix moment ;)

[boninhuw]

he ain't stoned...its just the guitar making part of his brain.

[ottjakeaustin]

you can always tell when he's smoked.

[saloon1914]

Hey cats and kitties: just cool and enjoy. It's why he does it, and why we're there.

[saloon1914]

I often resist response,but I cannot help but ask: do so many think they have something that adds to this remarkable sound? For some it seems an opportunity to leave a finger without any further vowel intent but the one comfortable at the moment. Others are showing off the bit of trivia that, I suppose, is why they await moment. No offense, but does it matter it's a Gibson? It does to him, THAT matters. Now to the point: I'd LOVE to ride that elevator, fool. Why not you? Jealous much? J.

[miko18750]

one of the few videos with John mayer with a gibson

[yalami7]

I loooooove his madness!!

[yalami7]

ahhhh!! i freaking love this!

[ibick13]

is he stoned? haha

[Majorbludd817]

Ain't no sunshine until Mayer is done with generic covers of classic rock songs. He should just put these covers on a cd and call it Elevator Renditions.

[TheDancingSaxophone]

@Majorbludd817 This song was never and will never be a rock song.

[gian12131]

bruno mars is playing bass 0.0

[yalami7]

@gian12131 hahahahahahah!!!

[blueslover87]

Bieber comparisons?? Really....hahaha

[felipec1fr]

good song, great playing and singing, horrible bandana!

[anneshuck]

Being in the Rocky Mountains seems to be agree with John.

[dwbryant3]

@anneshuck Weed is decriminalized there, so John might have acquired a "prescription" haha

[boboq88]

this is what we call, REAL STONER!

[ageiiGIRL]

He is so fucking talented! I can't handle it! His music is hypnotising.

[jackiefan1117]

I wanna get it on after listening to this white boy!

[SaeglopurSpa]

Mark Knopfler? O.o

[Ugazful]

Ho.Lee.Shit.

[james80196]

Listen to this when your high...10x better

[MrCaribbean]

Beautiful playing by J.M.! Great improvising, and great musician ship by the band, BUT come to Trinidad and Tobago OR jamaica, I'll show you how to dance to the reggae rhythm. LOL! I'm amazed how he dances of beat, but plays in time. LOL!.

[str8outtaTrini]

@MrCaribbean Lol, But I i give him real props

[jazysinger]

God, I freakin LOVE John Mayer -3

[inxxxxxxxxx]

Roger Federer can play guitar!

[SAMSAXSTONES]

this not aint sun shine,you change all song,

[Wittminator]

He looks really thin in this vid

[lee0messi]

2:40 yea that just happened.

[99headcase99]

eargasm!

[malikaismusic]

:) wowed 

[micahsmimi]

I want whatever John is having... he must have been feeling really REALLY good...

[RorschachGregory]

I didn't even finish the video the first time. Not because I turned it off, but because I broke my computer screen trying to fuck John Mayer.

[qwertypluss]

@RorschachGregory slag

[icoltsi18]

@RorschachGregory LOL

[cyrus364]

@RorschachGregory LOL

[oysterclam4266]

@RorschachGregory I really dislike you. I hope you die in a vat of acid.

[WarKoreanZombie]

@oysterclam4266 u mad bro?

[Ngoc1993]

LOL that comment about Fereder almost killed me hahahahahah

[angelmason77]

you must smoke a lot of pot. good for you

[angelmason77]

I'm a female. I'm sure it all makes sense now.

[freebirdlp]

I was there, let's just IT WAS AMAZING.

[RavenRapunzel7]

Funk, blues, raggae, rock, mmmm utterly brilliant!

[D0nRidah]

damn he raped that guitar like a whore

[akudanreport]

gibson les paul more suitable for blues

[MrNickhinshaw]

@akudanreport Tell that to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, SRV, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks, Albert King... I can keep going if you'd like.

[jonahtran1]

@MrNickhinshaw Let's not forget Jeff Beck. Haha. Preach it. I hate when people say a certain guitar is for blues ONLY. I've seen blues played (well I might add) on an ibanez.

[jonahtran1]

@akudanreport Like the dude said, tell that to Hendrix, SRV, Jeff Beck, and many others. Do you even know who Les Paul is? Have you heard his music? Not exactly a delta farmhouse player is he? No. Les Pauls were actually made for Jazz. But who's going to limit that? Not me. If it sounds good, it sounds good.

[gregydee]

i'm still waiting for this concert to come out on DVD

[venen2010]

First time seeing John playing other than STRAT!

[crossfire012]

What concert is this?!

[HinduistaHirsh]

Who says he can´t get stoned ?? ;)

[angelmason77]

@HinduistaHirsh That's exactly what I thought!

As a performer, I am not impressed with this. As a musician, I'm embarassed for him. As a fellow Berklee student, I am ashamed of him.

He did however rock the shit out of that guitar. High price, though

[maffeJS]

@angelmason77 Cool story bro. Needs more fire breathing goats and shit. Maybe if you performed more like this you'd be on a stage like that instead of sitting on youtube telling people how this is embarrasing. Now, now my friend. What's more embarrasing, really?

[guyontheinternet111]

@angelmason77 I don't get it.... what's so embarassing about this? Not the best rendition, but far from embarassing....

[romankok]

@angelmason77 But maybe you don't like the fact that he is really exploring ALL music genres, he has gone from pop, to blues, now he is doing folk, en as to this video, ALSO reggae!

I think John Mayer is an exceptional musician, and as a fellow musician, I salute him. He is evolving constantly.

He only did two semesters on berklee btw, so thats not really Fellow Berklee student.

[dasilveirapacheco]

@TheMountainsound Federer has no tatoos... :)

[YouNeedMani]

@dasilveirapacheco He does. He just puts make-up on his arms when he plays.

[Cory32765]

So how exactly do you even get this good?? It seems like youd have to study at Berklee or something to ever acquire this amount of talent. (John Mayer studied there then dropped out)

[palmster56]

@Cory32765 You don't acquire talent. You can't learn talent. You're born with it!

[Cory32765]

@palmster56 I can guarantee he wasn't born playing like he does now lol. I have talent, but I lack the knowledge to play like him.

[AlexRobinsonMusic]

i think he turned jamaican during the solo

[loZtsurfer]

One of the greatest musicians of our time without doubt

[giorgiodp892]

What does he say at 6.00 ???It's awesome :D

[jaysicka06]

Omg

[Lemon3Picker]

theres always the douch bag that decides to say "............yeah but i like the original better" so what your telling us that nobdy in the world should do a cover of any song when you sing this shit in the shower im gonna say "............... but the original is better"

[vanriver09]

Washed up!

[ThePurplejaybird77]

VH1 presents John Mayer "the coked out days" Live

[VisibleAudioSF]

@ThePurplejaybird77 no drugs in that body. Just music.

[ThePurplejaybird77]

@VisibleAudioSF just a joke bud chill. Ive been to several of Johns concerts.

[mojomahi]

@VisibleAudioSF I don't think so

[LookingAtSteak]

Nice version but I think I still prefer the original.

[RSRop0]

I really, really didn't want to like this, just seemed really self-indulgent on the first listen, but I'll be damned if I don't love every second of it now.

[AndrewAllenBrown]

Love his playing! Don't so much like his singing :/ Good shit though good shit.

[TheSpearsProductions]

@AndrewAllenBrown Yeah, I hear ya. I believe this show was at the end of his longggg tour. His voice was definitely shot by this time. :/

[eburns666]

One fuck everyone who has disliked this you apparently don't have what is called a TASTE in music..... Secondly i'm surprised the bassist isn't black

[joplinsdrink]

justin who



[greenuns]

modern blues

[ajurialasco]

THIS cover is the best i've ever heard since all along the watchtower

[Adamandhisguitar1]

Now theres a man expressing his pain through his guitar. god damn that was sick

[dipsetallday75]

how does he do that at 3:36-4:05

[Htam9433]

@dipsetallday75 use a lot of gain and slap your guitar exactly an octave higher than the notes your playing.

[Maydabizzette]

is he related to tom hanks?

[jordanedwards319]

John Mayer is an awesome guitarist. . . love this song!

[DistortedV12]

@coolestebon1 1:30 - 1:33 probably the happiest moment of his life.

[DistortedV12]

What's with the Bruce Springsteen, David hasselhoff look?

[PearlJamL0ver]

What the hell! He is goood. Why isn't he as well known as Justin Bieber? This doesn't make any sense at all.

[BIKASHBOHARA]

@PearlJamL0ver when did u start listening to music??? since 2008???

[jjjjddmm]

@PearlJamL0ver he is lol

[myDICKinAhugeBOX]

@PearlJamL0ver yes he is you fag

[victorxb360]

@PearlJamL0ver wtf.. He is?

[draycmf]

@victorxb360 In america yeah he might be as famous as that little justin bieber girl, but that's definitely not the case in the rest of the world (well at least in europe)

[victorxb360]

@draycmf Well I'm from Denmark, and I knew about sir. Mayer long before. That is of course logical, because he was famous a long time before. Anyways, I guess it depends on what kinda people you hang out with?

[andreeutza22]

@draycmf i'm from romania, and i was singing "your body is a wonderland" long before justin bieber had hair

[Bernhardinho]

@PearlJamL0ver john mayer not as well known as justin bieber... bro what are you saying, Mayer is much more famous.

[ams914]

boner.

[kkiikkoo380]

one of his best performances, simply genius

[MikeNZ379]

With the headband he reminds me a lil of Mark Knopfler

[callehasty]

what guitar is that?

[hopelezzone]

@callehasty gibson es 335

[CrimsonSuperNova]

MAD guitar skillzz right there! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[DominicanShawtyG]

Holy shit he's sexy somehow!

[MegaWhimsey]

John Mayer is the king!

[yamijanakaratoprak]

The music is GOOOOOOOD, he shouldnt have started singing though; he is more a musician than a singer.

[OxygenMcgee]

@yamijanakaratoprak Singing is part of music, and he is an amazing, unique singer as well.

[TheMountainsound]

What the fuck?! since when Roger Federer plays guitar lol

[avrajsingh123]

@TheMountainsound

actually laughing my head off! good one :)

[robioz]

@TheMountainsound By day he's a tennis player, but by night he's a musician

[Arod920]

@TheMountainsound hahaha roger federer hahaha

[HarryW23]

Ain't no sunshine for 6 people.

[dr05guitar]

5:30 when he's making the guitar talk, matches his face perfectly haha

[Bancodomatheus]

6:07 that was some sublime shit dude

[MrChillywilly1234]

thought John was just a pretty boy. didnt know he was tatted up and had a graveling bluesy voice and could play the shit outta the guitar! Respect!

[tkjm94]

@MrChillywilly1234 it's never too late to discover talent! I'm glad that there is people that dig deeper than the Your Body Is a Wonderland face, he is much more than that!

[IOnlySmokeDaFinest]

@MrChillywilly1234 Not many people do

[Klimpmeister]

M0:00AR!!!

[collin863]

aw man its like reggae blues i like

[sifferminecraft]

HEJ LISA

[LydiaIOB]

Amazing!

[knockzpb]

He like Fedx haha

[kkiikkoo380]

what show is this ?

[twood1988]

@kkiikkoo380 from his 2010 summer tour at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.

It streamed live on ustream which is where this audio came from. Great show...He was almost definitely drunk though if you watch the entire show...though that clearly does not keep him from shredding that guitar. The man is a true guitar god of our generation

[yoshi41093]

john mayer is amazing but omg how sick is the drummer he has inn this vid omg.!

[gromshit101]

OKAY listen. im a serious guitar player have been for 6 years, EVERY GUITARIST has a little of the "SRV" in him. and if you play a strat it naturally comes out..... so yes call it copying srv...... becuase who wouldnt want to hes one bad ass mother fucker!

[keithschubert]

Fantastic! I see this is during a Mayer hippie phase which i never knew existed haha

[TheGhostFriendly]

He is a mattaf*** dickhead.... really.. BUT GREAT Talent. no question. he can play guitar and makes a Giant show.

[matsandbass]

REALLY!!

Beast Mode.

[FallOfTheSun]

Love his fingerpickraking tech!<3

ps. and the bitchslapping tech haha

[FallOfTheSun]

Love his fingerpickraking tech!<3

[RuthlessRecordzzz]

Wow. My level of respect for mr mayer has rose enormously after seeing THIS solo.

Amazing how tight in the beginning and how crazy after that. Maybe a little Santana I think? Nice bridge to the i know too.

[monazmiahmad]

FCKIN A!



[mikemantle14]

@monazmiahmad its actually written in G

[MrHotpakis]

It's up to five now and one of them is me..... I must be stupid....

[Guitarist9992]

he wanted to play with his teeth i can tell it



[gordonmatthewsumner]

4 stupid people who dislike this ...

[Mooyongblues]

สง่ามาก

[TWTRose]

you guys are all stupid... saying he uses a lot of hendrix, stevie, bb, albert and buddy licks is like saying "yea well he plays blues"

[stewrules]

I can't tell, is he using a pick sometimes in this?

[MiniDaab]

@stewrules Yes. I don't know exactly where he leaves it all the time, but i know that he usually keeps a lot of picks on his mic stand.

For the tapping stuff, i think, theres no pick in his hand but yea some parts of the solo were picked.

[MagicMusic3]

@MiniDaab I'm not sure about this one, but in a lot of his other videos when he is finger picking he has the pick pinched between his pointer and middle finger

2:40-2:45, AWESOME LICKS . Perfect placement
