John Mayer Trio - Who Did You Think I Was (Studio Demo)

[FreaquedeMusique]

There is even a real video of this song on Youtube search for JohnMayerSME!

[Beeeeeeenn]

its just me or does it sound like John is using a flanger?? it sounds very odd.

[LNOL]

Where can I download this?

[1richards]

even stevie ray vaughan didn't sound this much like stevie ray vaughan.

[32spider]

one person prefers justin bieber to good music

[seanoghughes95]

@32spider *facepalm* -_-

[32spider]

@seanoghughes95 my thoughts exactly haha

[ryanmooney92]

so where can i download this from?

[FirstFactionFilms]

Is it surprising that even the demo version is awesome?

[TheFifthTake]

He never fails to play from his soul. Whether live or studio versions. Perfection everytime. I don't think we'll see another John Clayton Mayer for a long time to come after he is gone. Until then, play on John. Play on.

[danielstuartblues]

probably three of the world's finest musicians...

[mitchakotaco]

Its so weird listening to how this sounds in an actual recorded studio stereo image... when you're used to listening/watching every live version you can get your hands on. You can hear his layered vocals, and guitar parts. it's pretty beast. I also love how Steve compressed his snare an kick. Whatever plug-in he threw them through it sounds fantastically bombastic. (it adds to his slick bombastic approach to drums on this song.)

[jingwah]

wow his voice even changed recently..damn hes just getting better..

[keapen94]

solo inspired his crossroads solo? he seems to stop the notes short like in his crossroads solo. also seem like he's using a fuzz on this solo too.

[skypies]

Love the intro. <3

[ClumsyNessa]

His voice is so sweet in this music. *.*

[thomaswni]

the bassist at the right, played on the Fender festival too. i've never liked him.

[ryanmooney92]

he's pino palladino. he's played on the last two john mayer albums and is the current bassist for the who. he's awesome

[Crazycupmuffin]

@ryanmooney92 he is awesome he could play Lurch in a remake of The Adams family haha he scares the shit out of me. In a good way :)

[MichaelLynch90]

well the bassist is on the left for a start

[ilikecaribou]

thanks for uploading this :)

i was looking for it everywhere!

p.s. I totally saw him play this live in Sydney a few weeks back. FREAKING AWESOME.

[kimidorinrin]

So Cool !

[Sjjags]

I want to hear this on Battle Studies.

[WantedZelluloid]

He has to bring out the studio version of this song on his next album. "Who did you think I was" is such a cool song. Probably it's one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[MichaelLynch90]

There is already a studio version, youre listening to the demo of it right now!

[spidrmage]

the drum rhythm is different.

[EJ1202]

No it's not...jsut louder.

[ksbav8r]

Definately the same tracks but sounds like this was before they dubbed the gtr solo, probably an early rough mix.

What I wanted to say tho was that his recent records (Continuum and the upcoming) basically are Trio records, it's amazing. Pino plays all the bass and Steve Jordan plays drums and co-produces.

[MUSIC4URDOG]

chaferbud rules. i love the rawness id kill people for another trio record

[jchay55]

i think this is the demo.

the actual studio one is the one they use in the video

[girjak]

this is the same as the video! (?)

[jchay55]

not the same track used.

this is definitely a demo based on the sound quality and other notable differences from actual studio. such as added vocals, differently sung lyrics and a couple added/differences guitar parts. (just to name a few.)

[oyoteplan]

i dont think the one in the video was the studio version. a lot of bands do a "live for video" as their music video for a song. if you watch the solos in the video that's live footage edited together.

[Charlietmusic]

I love this song!!! Glad I got to meet John when he came to Berklee!!! An amazing artist!!!

[jonassisterssss]

do you go there? i have my tryout next saturday... any advice?

[VeniceKing1]

good luck! :D what do you play?

[jonassisterssss]

I sing.... mainly vocal jazz..... I am really excited and nervous hhaha
