John Mayer - The Story of The Black One (1/2)

[stratocasterfranck]

after watching this i will go sand down the finish of my 59 lp...

[arifreeman]

Watching John Mayer sand that body without a sanding form made me cringe.

[Kaizeppelin]

See kids not everything made by the fender custom shop is all what its cracked up to be.

[jjmassey2906]

@Kaizeppelin it is when they correct the wiring

[pebblefrog196]

lacquer doesn't affect shit.

[JBusie1996]

@pebblefrog196 yes it does. It "holds back" the resonance of the wood. On acoustics alot of the satin finish guitars really have a better sound because it "flows" better.

[pebblefrog196]

@JBusie1996 It's called the placebo effect, like a perceived difference that really isn't there.

[burazinmusic]

is he using fender or two rock amp in this video?

[demilieu]

my main guitar...is always going to be that next one i buy.

[demilieu]

board looks to be ebony

[SparkPlugnl]

"The body of a strat with laquer doesn't resonate" ... WHAT? Yeah actually it does. With thin (nitro) finish will resonate much much more though.

[DonBallin]

i know someone who knows someone who works at the costume shop, and jammed with john mayer :{D i have yet to meet that guy -_- let alone john mayer -______-

[gabegambino]

that guitar sounds like heaven

[quinta0822]

His lips are beautiful...



[gamizuco]

5:35 - 6:18 - Story of my life

[tmudean240]

Gravity ... :D

[DrThumbsUp]

The next day I take it out of the freezer and...

and it still wasn't there it was just cold.

[TheGargoyleLives]

Guys/Gals, please don't put your guitars in the freezer just because he did. He must have been stoned.

[RUOCCOLOCO]

What freezer? I've to try this!

[OmnicidePro]

how much is it worth?

[gazza351]

What year was the original?

[guyinfuckinghat]

@gazza351 this is the original black one it was made in the custom shop

[MrNicoPotamus]

@gazza351 The Original was a Relic that John got a Custom Shop. Had you fooled didn't it?

[MrNicoPotamus]

@MrNicoPotamus sorry, "from the Custom Shop" I meant.

[refonbass]

The high "E" string is flat. ;)

[onetwotrace]

It still wasn't there, it was just cold.

[EnoMeulenbergs]

what pickups are on this guitar?

[puntzpatz007]

great solo!

[p0rsch997]

I slept while watching this xD

[xYhonnyx]

yank, yank, yank :D

[Danklin24]

Maybe i need to check if a ground isn't hooked up so my guitar will sound like this.

[CoandCaSSTB]

anybody else have a signature strat sketch in a notebook from high school? haha. I love how real he is when it comes to his music. People need to get over John as a celebrity and just focus on the musical aspect of his life. Notice how different he is when he talks about guitars as opposed to women. He's not putting on that character, like in a movie, that you see in his tv show interviews.. you can tell that this is who he really is when you take all of the spot lights off of him.

[Danklin24]

@CoandCaSSTB gayest post ever. lol

[CoandCaSSTB]

@Danklin24 how so?

[Gupps0123456]

you can't half tell he was in recording mode not playing mode. Little bit sloppy. Still great but out of practice just enough to make it a little sloppy.

[gatitame2azul]

We are keeping these fascinating sessions and sharing with rock friendsl

Texas rock and gospel rock ,,, all fine musicians; great tutorial

[ewytenus]

one kid is homophobic

[Mikelinho108]

I'm the only one that think that he looks like federer?

[TheGuitarTheory]

yank...yank....yank...

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

was anyone else staring at the dumble in the backround?

[iCantPlayScales]

brb putting my guitar in the freezer

[broBERRRY]

it still wasn't there, it was just cold.... lol

[Mstrat86]

my guitar has lacquer =(

[seanypants91]

@Mstrat86 so take it off ha ,

[almostneverJayd]

love this video. he looks like Criss Angel.

[RuecianG]

I remember in interviews the CS saying that whether you're John Mayer or anyone else buying a guitar, you get the same treatment at the Custom Shop. Somehow this doesn't live up to that expectation. Not frowning upon the shop or anything, but just calling it how I see it.

Cool guitar!

[DiamondMusicChannel]

lol he put it in the freezer.

[sasuke9797]

Pubes and bones

[WickyGirl]

Wow cool! But when did he make the black1?

[fenderguitargirl]

"Yank, yank" lol

[Stefanrocks]

john was in detention?

[Botje101]

That's a great guitar. But.. will it blend?

[mmg1195]

Hahaha. "It still wasn't there; it was just cold."

[tete3002]

Nao sou fan de guitarra mas em blues tiro meu chapeu pois adoro.

I dont like guitars very much, but on blues i give and i really love.

[000clint]

wait just so i will finally know did it come with all the paint on the body and it wore off over time or did he get it like that

[TheMercuryMusic]

@000clint he got it like that. He said it was a technical thing

[dougsusername]

@sp1naway ehhhh that would go to Jimi's Monterey Strat in my opinion. John owns a replica of it actually. haha what a fanboy

[jorisy00]

I could just listening to his voice for like hours! Cool story.

[Drew27368]

@jorisy00

when i hear this blues that john plays in this video, my heart races and i get the chills

[RedLipJazz]

Making guitars.

What an actual dream job.

[rinuextreme]

"And in the next day I started playing... and huh... it still wasn't there, it was just cold." AHAH!

[haslam311]

so im not gay but i have this obsession with penis... again i am not gay, i just really appreciate handsome guys.... lol

[musicPMA]

haha, man this is funny......Well.....John mayer is funny, seeing him sand his own guitar, hahah.

[order57]

Body under laquer normally does not resonate.

You're so right....

[MrMutron]

"It was just cold..." HAHAHA

[ivanyhy]

Wow he actually makes sense when he's talking about guitars

[Tamablecoolwhip]

lol thank god the freezer thing didnt work or thousands of kids' parents wud have very confused faces tomoz morning

[nate891]

"the next day i started playing it and it still wasn't there..... it was just cold" lmao,

[sirgerry]

great, is this video the one that comes with the $15 000 guitar?

[IhateJohnMayer]

they really spent a lot of time on this guitar. He had no sleeve tattoo when he was in the fender factory o_O

[darkaug2]

@IhateJohnMayer He's been using the guitar for years. The Fender Custom Shop released a limited build of 83 of these replicas only recently, hence the video.

[chocotiger]

wait... he put the guitar in the frickn freezer!?!

[Meelosh96]

I always loved the fourth position on my strat, but this is too good!

[TechQuerk]

its so nice to just see mayer just play, and to maybe muck up a little bit. We can see a true guitarist here.

[customidis]

WHARE IS THIS GUITAR PLUGED IN IN HIS VIDEO? DOES ANYBODY KNOWS?

[mrrampage]

@customidis Dumble Steel String Singer.

[MrCheesepizzaisgood]

@mrrampage Actually, I think it's an overdrive reverb.

[drah22692]

so im not weird but i have this obsession w/ men grooming themselves and i have to say that his hands are gorgeous and the veins in his arms...again i am not weird i just appreciate the little things...lol

[cindyaniston]

@drah22692 lol Me too!lol his hands, and the veins, omg XD

[justin51393]

@drah22692 yeah a lot of people vein when they play guitar I do it too lol

[justin51393]

@drah22692 yeah a lot of people have veins popping out when they play the guitar I do, john does, almost everyone:)

[TylerHierTV]

@drah22692 i believe it's just an adrenaline rush... i always have my veins popping when i play guitar :)

[rutgherp]

@drah22692 heh, no kidding, I'm an anesthesia nurse and I would love to pomp an IV-needle in one of them veins ;)

[Ranch5490]

@drah22692 thats weird

[jkodee]

7:30 so true!

[keapen94]

"that's where its got the" is all you hear before he turns on the beast mode switches on his guitar and amp.

[johnmayerfan926]

I could rewatch this all day!;)

JM -3

[Sopbrocky]

If another guitarist, or an artist did a session like this. He would be all over the place. - But John, is so laid down, he tells every secret of everything. Who would say that they put their gitar in the freezer? This makes John Mayer human. Or wait; This guy is not human

[phototristan]

@Sopbrocky He's trying to sell guitars and make money. 

[Sopbrocky]

@phototristan im sure he doesnt get the most of it

[twentyfoursevenphoto]

yuhuuuuu

[jblackmd1]

wow

[theatomizer]
