Hey! I am a 12 year old guitar player. I play blues/pop/rock guitar. John is my inspiration for guitar and singing. I put up a cover of this song and a few other Mayer songs. It would mean alot to get some more views and to hear some feedback! Thankyou!!!!!!!! :)
this guy sux big ol nigur dicks playin all that dam porch monky shit!he aint no 38 speshul or nickleback they rock reel good much more gooder than this faget!
This is ultra-funky. The album version also has a definate, but slightly understated funk groove in it. Here, John just kicks out the jams in the opening variation of the theme. When the song finally kicks in, he pulls it back a bit, but still makes it slam and builds it throughout. Come to back to Atlanta, John!
You Know you BIG when you get a gig at the Ex! This is the hardest place to get into. Only the best get in here! Much love for Mayer, he has more skills that he shows on his albums!
I wish he did more funk jams like this one or long sweet jams. The allman brothers weren't afraid to make their songs up to 20-30 minutes, why can't more artists today do that?
I wish it wasn't always about time crunch, I wish we could all go and listen to some music with no rush.
That's why it would be cool just to see John Mayer and not opening acts, so I could experience a 3 hour John Mayer show of allowing him to bust out doing what he loves to do in his songs.
I agree with you . . . I love the allman brothers and the dead and phish - but that stuff just doesn't fly today with the "ipod" and "youtube" generation (as I, and JM like to call it). People have such a short attention span, and few people are up for the 20 minute jams (of course I always am). Anyway, I'd love to see it happen- if so, he'd need to let the band go loose a little more.
Very true, but people will learn to appreciate it if it is an artist they like, especially a talented one like JM himself. He should do what he likes without limits and people should like him for that.
Couldn't agree more, and not only that, I wish he'd record them. For as undeniably talented as JM is, I find his studio work bland for this very reason; that there's no room for the musical inventiveness he's so capable of.
I think that in a way he aims for the blandish sound in his studio work to allow him to absolutely slam it out live and absolutely wow everyone with these kind of jams and some of the technical solos he can crank out! He's a true entertainer like that I think - it's not like a performer like him to make bland studio music without having a plan in mind!
This is so good, it should have been his fourth single of the album, save the best track for last. This is definately the best track off the album, that main guitar hook is so seductive and the jazz chord progression before the solo is just genius. Top it all off with cohesive lyricism. I would put this track among the top 250 songs ever written and John Mayer as one of the top 30 guitarists ever.

shut up u faget luver!you dont know none nohow abot good music jazz is nigur shit i like much gooder shit like keny wayne sheperd hank wilams jr and nickleback this is pusy shit for girls and fagets!
What? You racist ass and you're so damn ignorant you can't even spell "nigger" properly. John Mayer is a superb songwriter almost as much as a slamming guitarist, I'd like to see you try to be 10% as good on the strings if you can even play. Oh, and you call jazz shit, yet all the musicians you noted have elements of jazz and blues (especially KWS) in them, which come from African-American culture! Get educated, you piece of garbage!
and JOHN F-ING MAYER is "pusy shit for girls and fagets"?
I should destroy you with words, but i won't. John Mayer is a fantastic guitarist and a wonderful songwriter, and his singing is on the up and up with every passing day.
If you don't like it, then get outta here and shut the f*** up because no one here wants to hear it.
