  • Badass.

  • Have a listen to my cover of this tune, see what you think! ;)

  • I'm not a huge Mayer fan, but I'll give him props. While I typically don't care for electric guitars or electric blues, he balances it out real well with the vocals. Marvin would be proud.

  • sounds retro as hell, but modern at the same time!

  • Sounds like Try from the Trio Album.

  • I wish I could download this. :(

  • @boomboxxking you can

  • One of only a few artists that his covers don't get slated or hammered and thats because they stand up in execution to the original ,and that's pretty rare....considering he's done jimi and marvin,thats the main reason why he is so respected by greats like bb,buddy,eric, etc come on that lick at end is top draw!!! lol

  • wow, amazing! thanks for posting - i'm locked on to your channel now. Hope his throat op went well the other week and he's able to complete the new album soon.

    Got to say my guitar playing hit new levels only cos of this one man. JM rules my musical brain.

  • that solo at the ending is just amazingly good!!

  • RIP replay button

  • he keeps getting better

  • racist has the cheek 

  • i dont really like the pop stuff he does, but as a blues player is awesome. Kinda like Clapton.

  • I've never heard so much over drive on a John Mayer song. I am an avid fan

  • I truly wish I was John Mayer

  • 5 people love justin bieber

  • this song makes the fucked up day at work easier

  • John Mayer and the blues just fit. I love him so much for this song.

  • This is a song by Marvin Gaye if you all were wondering why he hasn't put it on a CD or sold it or anything, but he just redid it. I love this version though as well as the original.

  • When i started listening to this song

    i wasnt wearing pants

  • Great version, but his live one is better I think.

  • where in the world did u find this!!!! Why is this not on a CD???? Too good not to be shared with the rest of the world!!!

  • His version of this song makes me rape the replay button...

  • Marvin Gaye! :) By John mayer! Doesnt get any better :)

  • This is so John Mayer.

  • only dislike is its just not longer !!! repeattttttttt.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • @chaferbud for president!

  • this is a great cover of marvin gaye, sounds just like the original.

  • Huh? I swear when i started watching this video i was wearing my pants

  • I'm hearing some Try round here... ;)

  • His falsetto sounds like Justin Timberlake mixed with Robin Thicke

  • Ummmm............AWESOME~!!!!!­

  • I LIKE IT SOOOO MUCH!!...GREAT VOICE!!

  • :-o... ... ...I almost fainted. You know, from the LOVE for this.

    Once again, thank you chaferbud, thank you for posting.

  • @AllBlueSS listen to the version i uploaded its waayyy better...way better singing and guitar playing ..its a 7 minute live version.

  • CHECK OUT THE VERSION OF THIS SONG I UPLOUDED ITS 7 MINUTES AND WAAYYY BETTER THAN THIS.

  • This song in what C right ?

  • @antony5linteau This song is in Eb minor. The guitar pretty much stays on that chord the whole time, but during the chorus the keyboard in the background changes chords, and I think it goes G#m, C#, F#, Ebm, then second time around it skips the F# chord. Then at 2:40 theres even more stuff goin on with the keyboard that I have yet to figure out

  • Wheres that photo from, and what key is this in?

  • The drums are "Phate's Bounce" from Billy Martin's album "Illy B Eats Vol 1"

  • I love the feel of this mayer jam! please keep making music like this!

  • @sweetmelody003 CHECK OUT THE VERSION I UPOADED

  • John fuckin' Mayer covered a Marvin Gaye song...this cover is a fail in my opinion but as a matter of fact John knows Marvin's music wich is a great plus for him :)

  • @ropy89 yeah chafer always uploads the shitty versions... check out the version i uploaded its really amazing

    its not a demo its a 7 minute live version its way better than this

  • i tried doin a video response but i dont see it up.. oh well if u wanna see me tryin to jam this tune w/ a loop station check out my page

  • this has such an awesome vibe. 3:12 - monster lick!

  • @huesofblues this is one of mayers licks i havent been able to pin down for the life of me. he does it pretty often (one example that comes to mind is on wait til tomorrow on WTLI, maybe not the exact lick but same idea)... any body out there in guitar land that knows whats goin on w/ that lick please make a lesson vid cause i want that lick so bad and have spent hours tryin to work it out to no avail

  • @BlueJimi1 In terms of the notes he's playing it's just a postion 1 pentatonic run. it's C sharp, B flat, G sharp, F, D sharp, C sharp (octave down in run), D sharp, D sharp, F, G sharp, F. He's playing it with hammer ons and pulls offs. It's not a particularly complicated riff but it's his feel when playing it that gives it the groove. hope that helps

  • @BlueJimi1 In terms of the notes he's playing it's just a postion 1 pentatonic run. it's C sharp, B flat, G sharp, F, D sharp, C sharp (octave down in run), D sharp, D sharp, F, G sharp, F. He's playin it wit hammer's and pulls.

    Whoops just realised what lick you were talking about!! Check out videos of people teaching SRV licks maybe steviesnacks on youtube. It's an SRV lick but mayer's interpretation of said lick.

  • @rbutt88 haha i spent a minute tryint to decipher your message on a guitar only to realize that you were talking about the looping lick, just in time to see your other message that said you were talking about a diff lick. BTW I see the lick a little different than you. I have a pentatonic descending run from C# to Eb (key of Eb min) then Eb, F#, Eb, then a pull off/slide descending that goes Eb, C#, C. The C is a major 6th in Eb, and is outside of the pentatonic, but its very important to IMO

  • @BlueJimi1 yeh you're totally right, i realised i only wrote out the second time through the lick, the first time through he does the descending Eb/ C*/ C slide but second time through the lick goes ends with F/ G*/F. Nice spot. Yeh the C makes it more of a dorian mode lick, opens things up nicely with the M6th and the M9th. Easy way to break out of pentatonics actually!

  • @rbutt88 hah yep i was about to say the 2nd time thru it goes back up to the minor 3rd, then oscilates between the 2 endings. glad to see we're on the same page.. im gonna check out that SRV lesson u recommended

  • @huesofblues check out the version i just uploaded...its a 7 minute live version.. its beautiful.check out my other stuff too..i have some of the best versions of all of his songs

  • love this!! it makes me wanna just strut around dancing. John mayer is a god send.

  • @Nthornley listen to my version... its not a rough demo like this..this version really isnt good.I have a 7 minute live version from him..its a billion times better.just like my channel is a billion times better than chafers..i have all of the rare stuff and a lot of great guitar solos.i dont even think chafer realizes john is an amazing guitar player.He has nothing that shows how talented mayer is.

  • how can i dowload this? this is just FANTASTIC!

  • @sunny4lady chafer is a joke..he gets all of his music off of one torrent and all of you people think hes god.. just download utorrent and type in rare john mayer and download it...it takes 2 seconds. check out my version of this...its not a demo its a 7 minute live version...perfect sound quality and its 1000x better than this.

  • grooooooooooovaaayyyy :)

  • @MrShiningbubblegum check out my version its a 7 minute live version perfect sound quality and its way better than this.

  • @25Ragz i have the one from your channel in mp3. i like this one a little better bc of the guitar riffs that go throughout the song.

  • @mikegt2 this would be good if he finished it up and played it live.

  • @25Ragz i still think it's bad ass even if the sound quality isnt all that. =)

  • @NoNameDuhh Marvin Gaye

  • @Tonguinho listen to the version i uploaded its a 7 minute live version...its way better than this

  • @25Ragz wow dude ! you'd be a great dealer, if live JM songs were drugs !

  • The drum loop is from Billy Martin's CD entitled: illy B Eats Vol. 1:Groove, Bang & Jive Around. Track name is Phate's Bounce.

    I love the sound he creates here raw, soulful, powerful. the infusion of old school r'n'b with rock and blues is what i strive to create with my songs.

    If i was to make a record with this vibe, I would have achieved my goal.

    J

  • I'd die to find out which effects he used on the main riff that's looping over the whole track ... sounds fuzzy, yet transparent...

  • @gabrieltsiry probably his pete cornish fuzz. sounds alot like crossroads in that aspect

  • @gabrieltsiry pete cornish fuzz amp on vloud pedal volume low gets a lot of clarity even on distortion/fuzz effects

  • John teased some of this on vultures 4/10/10 in Chicago. Sick version

  • @DMBFAN513 not sick...the version i uploaded is sick.its not a shitty demo version its a 7 minute live version..with good guitar playing

  • He can do no wrong! I loooove this, funky and fresh, and John sounds amazing!

  • Well Done, John Mayer& Steve Jordan!

  • Marvin Gaye! It's a good direction for John. Actually, anything he does is perfection. I LOVE JOHN MAYER.

  • I think steve Jordan nailed it.

  • @julienarrijs he said he used a drum machine haha

  • haha, well he nailed the drum machine then :)

  • @chaferbud

    besides Steve Jordan is a drum machine. :D

  • @chaferbud I'd like to know what drum machine that is for my own shit! Sounds spot on to the real thing

  • @PhernMusic

    he didn't get it from a drum machine. he got it from a Billy Martin drum beats CD. you can hear samples of all of his beats on amazon

  • @tjstrott25 Oh my God thank you so much, found it for $33 each sample is better than the last

  • @chaferbud

    It's neither, its a Billy Martin beat.

  • @sauce13pan this isnt really billy martin is it

  • amazing !thanks so much

  • This is a jam and if the next album has this feel, flavor. We are blessed.

  • @MagneticandPolar i agree. i think his next album should be like this. he kind of has a justin timberlake singing vibe here but its good. i really like "you already are to me" also. he should put this and that song on there

  • @jross286

    What's that other song you mentioned? "You already are to me"? Where can I hear it?

  • yea that's the name of it. but unfortunately it was removed due to copyright. it was an awesome live acoustic performance. maybe it will pop back up.

  • I think what he meant was the hotel bathroom song

  • @deadbatteries1

    Thanks man, I found it! It's awesome.

  • @MagneticandPolar in an interview in some guitar magazine he said something about battle studies being his pop album, and that his next album will definitely be blues centered... im hoping so cuz man can that guy make a guitar cry!!!

  • @az3ar19 check out the version i uploaded its a 7 minute live version... and who woulda thought he'd make a folk album haha.. i guess he's going through a bob dylan phase.
