  • Was this video recorded with a toothbrush?

  • there was another video of stched up with a still shot of john's.. where'd that go ? :S

  • bob reynolds' solos poop on mayers

  • Liked the sax solo, but that slide guitar was throwing him off.

  • groovy !

  • Girls like that don't sleep aloneeee:-)

  • John Mayer is nothing short of a god. He's basically Like hercules on earth showing off to make us all feel like wimps.

  • PRS????

  • @acousticrythm3 They got that jazzy, smooth tone. Perfect for Herbie and this song.

  • Wow he should definitely play this song more often

  • agreed herbie is needed on that piano solo

    

  • This video is killer! Mayer on a PRS!!!!!!! Awesome.

  • girls like that don't sleep alone :)

  • A hundred thousand of these views are mine.

  • not the same without herbie :(

  • 11 people can't be stitched up

  • @jmiller1818 I think you got it wrong... Being stiched up is a bad thing

  • @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.

  • Wait, he has short hair.......... ohh god

  • "sound check" Success.

  • god... that man has my heart.

  • groovy..!hot track..Wow!

  • hot ass mother***ker!!!!!!..this is funky!he's the king of cool no doubt about it!

  • most beautiful "good afternoon" i ever heard.

  • holy shit i bet fender was like "wtf! oh its a PRS. nvm....its not like we can compete" haha

  • @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 looooooove this song!!! That hook on the horns is fit!! Does anyone have an mp3 of this song?! Im dying for it!!

  • @bflatgirl It's on Herbie Hancock's 'Possibilities'. It's the first song. :)

  • @shadowol second song actually

  • I desperately need more songs like this. I love it.

  • AWESOME!! John looks so "L.A."!! Haha! Love this man and his music!

  • Bob Reynolds! you rock

  • @Fender9808 wordd

  • such a good song! So glad john got to work with herbie hancock to make such a good musical piece.

  • 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!

  • Comment removed

  • Randomly hear about this song and think it's great. I can't believe it came out in 2005 and i never knew about it!

  • is that the same guitar on his room for squares album cover??

  • @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).

  • Herbie Hancock is the man. Yall should check out the original version by him and john. Simply amazing!!!

  • Who's song is this? Never heard it before.

  • @regelemihai

    Herbie Hancock

  • @oliverandm

    Gracias! :) 

  • @regelemihai Herbie Hancock

  • This was definetly inspired by D'angelo! Great anyways.

  • John with a prs??

  • hey! hes playing a PRS. what a baller.

  • hi, could u pls upload this video again coz it's not running anymore? N it was the best video I could find of this song...Pls, pls, pls....Thank ya!!

  • This is timeless and perfectly relatible for everyone that is lucky enough to hear it!!

  • What key is this song in?

  • @willraz It's in the key of A major :)

  • ultimate relaxation here

  • 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

  • My a capella group is performing this in our set at all-states! It is such a great song! :D

  • first time I have ever heard this guy sing and he's pretty good.

    recommended by a friend today

  • do you live on mars?

  • @delbert88w evidently I do- wow!

  • @delbert88w WHY???

  • the sound is perfect =)

  • sounds like the chords from the hurt and the ending from friends lovers or nothing..

  • @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

  • that Filler is ghostly, this dude is gonna accomplish everything music wise, take a steady note kids.

  • @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.

  • grreat voice!!!:)

  • the beat of the song is awsome and groovy

  • the shades he is wearing are the brand Mosley Tribes although I am not sure the exact model, I hope this helps I remember him tweeting about it!

  • robbie macintosh looks like tomo fujita in 20 years :D look at him while he plays the solo

  • Did you mean to say Macintosh not Macintyre?

  • His name is Maxintosh

  • Nice sunglasses!

  • Why's everyone wearing shades?

  • Because its Sunny.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, could I at least sniff your butt?

  • wow, that prs sounds even better than his strat! MY GOSH!! I love my PRS even more now! John mayer ROCKS!!

  • That sax solo is killer!

  • Visit New Image Showcase channel, to watch live, local talent.

  • Duuude.... what a chilled out version is this?! Nice... Even sounds like Fun Lovin' Criminals cause of the bluesy jazzy feel!

  • That chord is pretty interresting.

    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?

  • It's fun to find and play that chord at 0:44, played by the piano and trumpet. My version is (for guitar of course)

    X8798X which is probably an Fmaj9 (no 5th) played with a slight arpeggio.

  • whats the guitar hes playing looks like PRS head?

  • PRS McCarty

  • A PRS indeed.

  • PRS Hollowbody

  • i believe this is a ccontemporary jazz standard, not an original...herbie hancock maybe...

  • 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.

  • nope. John and Herbie wrote it together.

  • naaa he made the lyrics for it and the lick and herbie hancock jammed along with him great song though

  • I love that Soprano solo. It's got a blues meets dixieland sort of vibe to it. Very cool, funky song.

  • What is that chord at 0:44 ?

    Please tell me, I can't find it anywhere..

  • 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.

  • what do your ears tell you?

    Mine say its some sort of a Gdom7(no B) with a C triad on top.

    easiest way to voice (what I'm hearin anyway) spelled from the bottom up:

    GFCEG maybe a G13sus4 ;)

    maybe this helps ya?

  • 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..

    peace

  • 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.

  • what makes it horrible? the melody? the chords? the rythm? i can't find it..

  • its not awful you dumb fuck

  • that's my point...

  • what model are john mayer's sunglasses? :D

  • 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

    nice vid 5/5

  • i dont think you'll find it. i didnt.

    but i think it'll be on his next album?

  • i think i found it on amazon. it was on a herbie hancock album called Possibilities.

  • ummmmm....this is one of the best songs.

  • needs piano

  • 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.

  • the fact that this is a sound check makes sense of this. lol

  • ahhhhh mannn i dont know what it is about that chorus idk i just dont like it at all, it sounds almost country...but the rest of this song is amazing

  • john. you are awesome. i love Fujita

  • wow is he hot here or what?! haha hes pretty amazing looking here.

    plus i love this song :)

  • wat knda guitar is the slide player playing

  • I THINK, it's a Burns.

    ??

  • Its a vintage Epiphone Wilshire

  • Comment removed

  • I know johns is, I was tyalking about Robbie the older guitar player's guitar

  • sorry I've understood what you mean after I've write! :)

    in fact i had cancelled the comment...!

    sorry ;)

  • I know john is playing a PRS! I was talking about the backup player

  • Looks like a Gibson

  • Nice guitar john. You're right... a strat wouldn't have sounded as nice.

  • AWESOME solo from Robbie M!!

  • PRS McCarty

  • john mayer playing a PRS?!?

  • yeah its a hollowbody version i forgot i think its custom

  • niceee

  • Comment removed

  • David Ryan Harris looks so tight.

  • its not the real show just a sound check

    they're not exactly performing for a crowd

    sounds amazing though :)

  • do you buy tickets to the sound check? is it cheaper than the show or something?

  • how much would it cost to buy a prs

  • they have a low end called SE that runs around the $600 mark.

    The real PRS's are in the $3000 ballpark. He's playing a hollow body which you won't find for less than $4k.

  • what type of guitar is john playing?

  • A paul reed smith

  • aka: PRS

  • This is one of the few songs by him I've never seen before... And definitely with a PRS. Pure greatness :)

  • john mayer is DOPE boy magik

  • Comment removed

  • John mayer, you said once, that you would never look like a rock star, :), here you go

  • 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.

    i feel angry at them because they lie to me .

  • Its too bad the only one from Phoenix is from soundcheck.

    That night he did a couple minutes of a whistling to the music before he started singing.

    One of the coolest things I've ever seen.

  • 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.

  • A semi-hollow PRS. It was about time. I like it how John moves smoothly from style to another, making it still sound John Mayer.

    Veikko

  • 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

  • simply amazing!!I looooove JM, he's the best

  • ohhh baby.. johnny and a prs. dangerous potential there.

  • His PRS hollwowbody is so beautiful!

  • I was thinking the same thing. But I'm damn glad he does because they're awesome.

  • 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

  • I like this song...but he sound not really motivated...

  • Probably using the prs because a strat woulnt really work with this song.

  • he does quite often. check out a few of the 'panama' videos here.

  • He didn't until quite recently

  • agreed.

  • That's not an original JM song... is it a cover or a new song on his next album?

  • it's a song he wrote with Herbie Hancock

  • slide guitar totally stomped on the sax players' toes!!!

  • Its very rare you see John Mayer playing a PRS!

  • no kiddin eh? it seems hes ranging more in what guitars hes using. ive seen him use les pauls, and then the L-5's.

  • his singing kinda went downhill on this tour

  • I actually think its the best he's ever been. But keep in mind this is a soundcheck. He's probably not trying to destroy his voice that early.

  • Why is he sounding like he's half asleep? :/

  • He probably is.

    it looks early.

  • :) thanks for posting this!

  • Thanks so much for posting this!!

  • Thats some nice groovin right there
