@TheMrFunktastic2 but not when you need it. You're thankful for a nice stitching after you've been poached by a beautiful bro-killer. That's Blues, man.
@ref10603 That's like comparing apples and oranges. Different guitars for different purposes and sounds. Fender easily competes with PRS as far as quality is concerned.
@lazr3th and whats funny with that man, is that i got a Prs Single cut SE and with some adjusting with it's neck pick up. i can get 95% of a strats neck tone when i use a Pod X3 live with it! so its funny how you can get that tone without coil-splitting a PRS lol
I love this song! check out the very entertaining performance of the band STUBNBLUES doing the Viennese version of this song "Echt Baff" in NYC .... I think it's worth it!
@Willieheadable No thats a PRS Hollowbody, probably a II model and on RFS you can see one of the rare Novax guitars as Charlie Hunter uses (as 8-String).
He has his moments Many off them actually I do listen to him often in any kind of mood I'm in He picks me up and let me know that I'm not the only one who's feeling lonely And whith this song it brings memories from 20 years ago some good some bad Just the way the heart of life is
@McBrideAidy he plays the hurt at the end of friends lovers or nothing...and if you played guitar you'd know the chords are different....this song is a song he wrote with herbie hancock on his album possibilities
@ckittles1977 Im glad you pointed that out. With the way john uses theory, we need to take a little more than steady notes. Easily one of THE most musically talented people of our time.
Another thing thats pretty interresting is, what is really happening at 1:40 and 1:53, John Mayer and D R Harris has got some kind of problem or is it just a sing to the stagetech to increase the volume?
No, John Mayer and Herbie actually wrote this song together for Herbie's album, 'Possibilities.' They improvised the entire song as part of an HBO Special. It can be found on YouTube.
I was curious about that too. I think it's like a Dm9 or like a Fmaj7 with a D above it, something like that. It sounds really bad on guitar but it if you play piano you could try it like that.
I´m not sure cause i have no instrument right now but if the song is in A it should be some kind of fmaj7/9. Like a C chord over F. Try this voicing (F on low e string with left thumb, C on Astring with Longfing, F with ring ging on D string,open G, Cwith index on B string, Open E or G on e string with your pinky if you like.) like I said it sounds like it´s in A but I´m not sure. Good luck
Try an open a string, D string 7nd fret, open g string,B string 5th, and High e the third fret. Play it like an A chord.. I can't name it, but i believe that's the way it is..
THe reason the chord is hard to hear or find is it is not a full chord. lightly do a downstroke(side of thumb) on the bottom 3 sstrings. A(3) C#(2) G(1) your basic A7 chord. the dissonance you hear is the trumpet playing a soft G.
where on youtube can i find the real recorded song? cause they did have it but i think they took it off. if any1 see's it can u tell what it is plz. thnks
i like how he is able to move away from a strat. he shows real versatility knowing when to switch guitars when he could try to use a strat for everything and not sound as good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i love john mayer and this song so much but i wish he was more like he was when he was in his 1st 3 CDs. cause hes kinda losing it. i mean where is the excitment in this COME ON JOHN!!!!!!
This is a really good video. I enjoyed it. if you need more exposure for your videos check out t u b e v i e w s ( d o t m o b i ) Keep up the good videos and continue to make fresh content.
Trust me everybody ,this is just bad as dial up ,remember the old dayes when you get kicked out of the internet service 10 time every one hour , i bought one and i paid $140.00 and i return it the next day and they didn`t give full refund they gave me $75.00 which is bad ,and the owner of the store wasn`t friendly at all.
yeah I remember that. I love the whistling solo he's come accustomed to doing at shows. I think that's debatedly the coolest thing he's made his own. Just like on the Where the Light Is DVD in Stop this Train, his whistling is so clear and even has vibrato. Not to mention how hard it is to play and whistle at the same time. He's just a mad-man. That's what I've concluded.
I can still hear John in whatever he does. The way he comps does chords, and the chord shapes are unique to him. A lot people talk about how he's an SRV clone, but there are lot of distinct "Mayer voicings" he uses that I don't hear any other modern player using. I love this song I need to get it
jm is so intelligent i think if he dont change the member the band will get too old.. just missing labruyere.. MAKE A CONCERT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES MAYER FROM: ENGELBERT BAND OF THE PHIL =)
shifttab just asking why mayer change labruyere his bassist with sean hurley.. i love the groove of labruyere just missin it hes my influence in playing bass
back in 2006, when JM creating continuum, JM called Pino Palladino to play hence creating the JM trio in the future. Since Labruyere wasn't called he decided to work on his own work. They may or may not be on good terms. I believe it's just that they both had a different goals and in order for Mayer to survive, he need to recruit a committed bassist.
thats original song man ryt? make a concert here in the philippines mayer.. were waiting here for a long time.. show us your wrath herei n the philippines
