John Mayer - By Nine

[rudiesssss]

dude u don't think u would listen to him?? its just like "I Don't Trust Myself" its not that weird

[BrettDanielHayes]

I think Mayer's life is both a fascinating and sad story of a guy who's searching for something, but doesn't know what.

[juuaaaann]

@BrettDanielHayes  what about the your? you dont search anithing?

[silent5am]

@BrettDanielHayes yes

[MrWobt]

Almost certain that solo blew up the producers mind

[EDDERGC]

even then he was a fuckin' guitar god...

[oliverandm]

The idea of the song is fucking awesome, and i'd love to hear an actual production and not a fucking garbage recording like this haha, sounds like a turd in a box -

[cbwd40]

Hay I second that.

[Saldawgfilms]

k seriously all these pple saying this sucks...il admit the vocals are kinda wierd but listen to the jam its so awesome..and the solo is so badass this song is far from bad...some pple need to stop thinking that vocals are what the music is all about...have an ear and appreciation for instrumental creativity..LONG LIVE JM

[dannellow]

... and then John Mayer decided to start making real music.

[FallonLaylow]

LOVE Mayer's voice....but HOT DAMN I want a album of nothing but him playing the electric guitar....sometimes I just want to mute the vocals and listen to nothing but him playing the guitar....so sO SO! GREAT!!!!!!!

[TheFunkyCriminal]

is this like the first band he was in?

[TheMayercraft]

sorry man but everything he makes is fucking gold!

[s0lost]

He's amazing no matter what he sings!!

I wish I know how happy his music makes me..

[austinbondify]

It may not be as catchy but theres more soul in this than his new stuff

[VicRoseMusic]

this sucks...I'm glad I saw this.

Proves that anyone can get better. Even me.

[Travmann777]

good solo but it didn;t fit with the song at all

[aliuchan]

haha excellent! I had no idea this existed until tonight!

[Heliocopter8]

I feel like I've been rick roll'd.

[TheMikeHickey]

I'm actually pretty into this -- If he had a track like this here or there on his albums I wouldn't complain at all.

[hermanshermits124124]

Wow his solo's improved SO MUCH :) Even John mayer went through the face of 'showing what he can' instead of making a good solo :). The vocals were there though! And so was the REVERB :D

[cjmacish]

That amazing guitar skill shreds through my mind... John why do you not unleash that beast more often :(

[BondsMusic]

jm's probly really pissed that this was released haha.

[DMB206]

Why's everybody hate this song? I like it.

[adamlikescereal]

gotta get out man.

[ninjaboomboom]

Hah look at the title!!! I knew John Mayer liked Elder Scrolls!!! haha!!!

[SuperGamer87]

Well, he DID say he started wanting to be a guitarist and singing came second for him. He's come a long way, in both. I love seeing his early origins and seeing how far he's come. Now the man's a standard.

[FreaquedeMusique]

Wow this sucked...

Im glad he found the blues........

OMGWTFBBQ THAT SOLO D-:

[IrissMulaa]

aaiiiittt niceee

[TintedRedFilms]

I really like the chord changes along with the bass, until the solo. The vocals are a big turn off. If he re-did this, it would be pretty cool.

[TintedRedFilms]

I kinda wish he would kinda re-vamp this, with his current set of skills.

[dougsusername]

lol John's showing off his pentatonic scale runs here.

[rodneythemodney]

@dougsusername he gets chromatic in that motha.

[Siege2992]

i didnt think it was back, just different....everyone starts somewhere, and adapts there music guys

[playuall2well]

The thing is that the solo really isnt that bad, VERY SRV, its just so out of place in this song that its almost confusing to listen to. The end part is also pretty hendrixy too, the different voices all playing at once, just put all together makes for a pretty weird combination.

[0126578]

weird voice, I almost thought this isn't John Mayer

[ChristopherMcCandles]

in his early stuff it seemed like Mayer had this kind of urban night music vibe (neon, neon 12:47 am) I think it way more of a clay cook thing though...

[maestro723]

LOVE IT!

[skater11166]

i think hes going for the radio head vibe here

[cwizzle4466]

Can we please get a download link?

[25Ragz]

@cwizzle4466 just download utorrent and type rare john mayer and click download and you can get everything on his channel from that one download in 10 minutes.Check out my channel if you like john mayer i have a lot of amazing solos from him.

[EddieVedder13]

Gives me hope that I can get better too lol

[AyuniShaari]

i laugh hard at 4;44!

it sounds really weird :DD i think John did all that noise thing, haha :DD

i can't stop laughing at that time :'D

[dx12red]

thumbs up for JM's birthday !

[briansabalo]

lol mayer's voice sucks here. so much has changed since then. :D

[lance627]

wow i have been looking for lo fi masters stuff for years and this is the first time i heard it. i like the transformation mayer has made.

[25Ragz]

@lance627 haha i'll upload lo fi masters stuff for you.its nothing like this.It's ther demo It has Love Soon Man On The Side Victoria Outside In the Underground and comfortable.

[25Ragz]

@lance627 This isnt the Lo Fi Masters btw.. Its Another Roadside Attraction check out the voodoo child i have from john featuring Another Roadside Attraction When he was 19 years old.Its awesome

[66045]

I still love it. I always wonder what Mayer sounded like before Room for Squares. It feels like an older version of myself.

[guitarmasterjvc]

i dont know about you but i dig this song>>however the solo was a little tooooo 80s for me.

[thekz4444]

thankx 4such an antique stuff @chaferbud! wooohoooo..go john! :D....

[dougsusername]

this is another roadside attraction. lofi was more pop than this.

[g2k2001]

man, talk about genre change...

[lamecamera]

I really digged that solo

[seanoghughes95]

cant stop playin that solo over... and over.... and over ... 

[libertyfalls]

Am I the only one who really digs this stuff? I think his Lo-fi masters stuff was really cool.

[drmedwuast]

this must have been around 1997

[McKennaMarie77]

oh my gosh he is amazin i dont know what i'd do without his music lol i made him a song IM HIS BIGGEST FAN cant go a day without listenin to him :) i hope one day i meet him an see him front row..time to be savin some money! :)

[weareclouds]

I love this song. My bro got it off napster in 1999 when I first started listening to Mayer. Been one of my faves since then.

[TwilightsLastGleam]

This song grows on you.

[toriinprogress]

I likes. JM couldn't do anything I wouldn't like.

My God, that guitar! Imagine.....gahhhh!

Chaferbud...MANY thanks for uploading all this great stuff XD

[TwilightsLastGleam]

That third lick in the solo came out of fucking nowhere.

[25Ragz]

when are going to upload good songs from him?

the only songs you have are on limewire.

i have alot of good stuff ... alot better stuff than you

[dude9521]

I have to say, I love this song.

[neeyan4]

#12.6

red hover

light over

[annievolleyball333]

" If this is what John sounded like today, I'm afraid I wouldn't listen to him."

Dang good thing he doesnt sound like this! otherwise we wouldn't have your channel! (:

but then again i wonder how many people actually Would listen to him then anyways.

[theFreak392]

you know it seems like you would be related to JM because of all the tracks.

i mean i am like the ULTIMATE JM fan, but idk how to get this stuff.

lol.

[RTLippy]

by far the worst mayer song haha..... i love the guy but damn that was awful

[coryz73]

not the best... but i can still appreciate this early Mayer!!!

and still... that solo =0

...jaw dropping

[puchalaka]

this is an awesom song

[puchalaka]

reminds me of eon and the solo is beast!

[skater11166]

ya the vocals soud like shit, but i still love the man hahhah

[gnarlydude757]

I think what John is going for with each album is for it to be different. Comparing his albums against each other is like saying which piece of art and artist makes is better. It's not really about whats better to him, but what he's trying to express. Check out some of his live interviews. He explains this stuff :)

[EddieVedder13]

It's hilarious how that thirty second solo overpowers the rest of the whole song the tune is pretty cool and mellow but the echoing voice isn't done very well and the lyrics are pretty weak too but it just goes to show how much an artist can improve over the years...

[gookingwenceslas]

I knew he was a Van Halen fan, lol!

[stacyresistancej]

The solo is just stunning!! I dont know if it's simple or whatever I just like it.

[TintedRedFilms]

A little like Assassin from Battle Studies.

[wouwser]

what the fuck, wasn't expecting that kind of a solo :O

[Mattyroxx49]

4.49 sounds like a kitty XD

gaawd my love for his music and him will NEVER die :)

[riffism]

Perceiver...chill dude. He made ONE pop album....give the dude a break.

Interesting. I can hear some of his future style in this....but it's so experimental sounding. Sounds like he came up with the idea in a rehearsal and is just looping it...trying to work out the kinks and get the idea on tape. I'm glad he learned some restraint on the guitar...because his solo section was WAAAY over the top for this arrangement, in my opinion. Very cool licks, however.

[4TheMus1c]

ehhh i dont know man, the new album sounds pretty poppy to me.

nothing like continuum or trio but it grew on me and now i love it

[QueenBanana295]

yeah, same. i was kinda dissapointed bcuz i was comparing it to Heavier Things, my favorite cd of his, but then i figured Eh, it's still John Mayer and now i love it.

[riffism]

@ 4TheMus1c & QueenBanana295...I agree, I was a bit underwhelmed by the new CD at first too. It's still my least favorite of his work, but it's growing on me. I like Assassin, Heartbreak Warfare, and Perfectly Lonely...but everything else leaves me a bit flat. The whole album is a little too "mid-tempo" for me...and I miss his guitar work.  There's not as much "fire" in this album from what I can tell. It's still good, just not up to his previous attempts.

[oliverandm]

@riffism

2, Room For Squares is pop too - well it's just hard to categorize him ..

[riffism]

I was refering to Room for Squares when I said he made one pop album. I don't consider any of his other stuff pop...unless you count his very first release...but that disc had a lot of material that ended up on Squares.

[miguelelias1]

the beginning sounds like when asleep and you know you gotta get up and out by nine, this is the voice you here when you still in your sleep...crap

[vivalamelody]

thats not john mayer

[rrcollig]

This is awesome, better than Continuum

[ByAcoustic7]

dude.. thats not john mayer

[gsgalli]

is really john?

[SamMusician]

haha pretty damn terrible. Its so great to know that even the god-like john mayer started somewhere

[ThePerciever]

well im not glad that he changed. he makes that poppy shit to keep the money rolling in. Which is sad because he was bluesy as hell and could shred.

[zonedout245]

He still is and still can.

[Complex2k6]

He still is bluesy, and can still shred.

[jgl2222]

so trippy

[showergel2]

chafer

are you a mayer's cousin? i can't believe, you have all his tracks, you know everything about him!

anyway, thanks a lot

[chaferbud]

second cousin, he sends me demos and stuff.

lol i'm kidding. its really funny to see the craze i've created. there are like another eight mayer fan pages now lol

[25Ragz]

@chaferbud You dont like this because you don't like his guitar playing.Do you realize John is the best guitarist of all time?You don't have anything on your channel that shows how good john is at playing guitar.. Upload one amazing guitar solo i haven't heard ..prove to me that you can get good JM.

[DMB206]

@25Ragz Wouldn't say of all time. Certainly the best of this generation and on his way to becoming a legend and an inductee of the Hall of Fame

[25Ragz]

@DMB206 The only person you can say is better is Jimi Hendrix.

[DMB206]

@25Ragz Who knows man. I find it hard to equate a single guitarist as the best of all time. Every single one of them is known for something.

[25Ragz]

@DMB206 true.

[25Ragz]

@DMB206 I hope you dont think tim reynolds is good.He is terrible... one of the worst things to ever happened to DMB... but Jeff Coffin is the best Sax player in the freaking world.

[lefte18]

@chaferbud lol you created the craze or did mayer?

[25Ragz]

@showergel2 you can get everything chafer has in one torrent. just download utorrent and type in rare john mayer... its not very hard hahaha.

[floppel]

The vocals sound like Eddie Vedder.

[Highvoltagerocknroll]

how old was he when he made this? that solo was ridiculous

[Sjjags]

I dig this.

[andrewguitar67]

The beginning reminds me of Riviera Paradise by SRV.

[ssmookie13]

holy gratuitous SRV solo batman. That solo was awesome but it had nothing to do with the song at all it would've been awesome in a faster paced song, but that was pretty good skill.

[Rees473]

This is WEIRD!!!!!

His voice is so different now, and thank goodness!! Guitar's awesome though. Thanks for posting, as always!!

[ledhead923]

lol JM had no restraint in that solo. Now compare that to the studio version of Gravity. ha

[gookingwenceslas]

sounds like wrapped around your finger crossed with I did it

[vash1012]

Is this Villanova Junction maybe?

[halfastepdown]

definitely hear a bit of dave matthews in there!

[mayermusic1092]

i like the blues/jazz feel but this is when he couldn't really sing, he got better at singing.

[dramasticlyclever]

lol wow when the solo kicked in i thought some SRV came on in my music player lol

[luverboiy]

imagine the facial expressions of that solo :)

haha gotta love him for those alone

[inkballedtarget]

lol so true..

[mrh0ck3y]

Haha very

[mrh0ck3y]

Hahahahaha! I know right? If those are the faces he makes when playing guitar then.... Haha, I don't even have to finish that.

[englwood47]

the whole melody is sweet, but the lyrics need a little working on.

[LaPerssonandro]

that solo was FIERCE! I don't think JM was influenced by SRV at all... No, no, don't see it at all. I can see JM playing jazz in the future. That's just a guess. Thanks for the upload!

[Levidamanguitar]

He has the SRV initials tattooed on his left shoulder lol...he was definantly influenced by SRV.

[LaPerssonandro]

lol. I was being sarcastic ;). Peace out man, and keep the JM love alive! Oh,a nd maybe you were being sarcastic. In which case, wd. hahaha.

[Levidamanguitar]

lol I thought you were being serious...lol my bad

[leif77]

He must have written Neon around the same time...

[sasukekubiwa]

Like the solo.

[Slowhand010]

i like it. just shows some up and downs in his music

[incubussrv]

WTF, please dont tell me this is new john mayer stuff

[chaferbud]

try OLD

[BryceShuster]

LOL

[pastyourhorizon]

@incubussrv LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[slipperyfloor]

I like it. It's kind of trippy.

[trekitout]

its got this pink floyd air about it, its the echo thing that i don't like.

well he's come a long way since then...

and thats all i have to say about that.

holy s**t whats the whiney thing at the end, sounds like someone crying!

[therainsong1]

were can i download this?

[oyoteplan]

can someone explain what another roadside attraction and lo-fi masters were? in detail please haha

[mackeroni33]

bands john played in while going to berklee college of music. lo-fi masters was him and Clay Cook.

...wikipedia bro

[RTLippy]

i love mayer but this song is garbage... the only thing somewhat decent was the little solo but other than that i am not a fan

[zonedout245]

sounds like pearl jam

[HuckleberrySlim]

this would be a terrible song to listen to when on acid, it would just cause a panic attack

[chaferbud]

haha i've never done it so i wouldnt know but i'll take your word for it!

[texbls]

solo totally kick ass

[roxy782]

this sounds cool... wooo go john mayer! :)

[MadOKO899]

Better than most of his songs nice groove to it but quality of recording is bad dats all

[beastylink]

well .. he gotta get out ... and he did .. outoff this music.. nd he did it gr8!

[mamakin1973]

This give me great confidence as a singer songwriter.... just seein where john came from but nneways the drums sound like shit in this song

[tein14]

Its really different.

But I can see where he's evolved from here?

Something's Missing anyone?

[Br4d137]

man i didnt think JM can make a good trip song.... this is good...

[supern00b]

lmao im trippin balllssss

[1jagbag]

you can not compare john to any other artist,but you can compare other artists to him.

[hipeoplr]

i think he needs to revert back to this style.cuz it sounds so groovy baby! who ever posted this kicks ashhh!

[smoggums]

Ooh that vibe

[agsfmayerjm]

i acually think this is a excellent song especially the guitar solo part

[kickkkflip]

wow i love this song... thanks so much for posting

i love the srv influenced solo

[simonz350]

talk about some serious evolution to what he is now... and thank god for that

[jazznowsee]

Cool. Very outer spacey-ish haha.

[SFin07]

wow.. very diff, but not bad. i can see how his style evolved from this.
