John Mayer "Friends, Lovers or Nothing" Live at the Hotel Cafe!

[DLN09]

Thumbs down/Up for they guy/girl who just STOPPED recording the best shit ever. WHERE IS THE REST OF IT!!!!!

[MathiasSt3n3rud]

When does he look in the camera?

[Brews2Bros]

this just guitar live version is way better than the over-produced album version hands down

[bassplayermusic91]

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you........ ;-P

JM is my inspiration, there is only 12 notes in music i know, gotta love it though!

Can't wait for the new album in 2012, its gonna be amazing!

[mattbeermusic]

funny he talks about sex with no commitment.. friends with benefits.. in 2011? :P

[ExHe18]

What song is he singing at the end? What does he say sick fun?

[bbonta]

Really wish i knew what continues from the last part! =(

[bbonta]

"you got values and i understand... but why are you at my house at 4 am?"

[poopfishtaco]

Why would you ever dislike Jack Johnson. How could you ever dislike someone who gives 100% of his profits to charity??? Get real. They're both great musicians.

[cathina22]

"Anything other than yes is no,

anything other than stay is go,

anything less than 'i love you' is lying."

<- so truthful. brilliant lyrics.

[cathina22]

"you are either friends, lovers or nothing. you cant fake it, you cant smudge it around trying to come up with some brand-new version of relationship." Well fucking said, JM. Amen to that!!

[pranilseoni101]

@wopeswopes93 LOL your a fucking retard. one of those kids who just chirps people on facebook. I didnt say anything about playing the keyboard, bangos, acoustic or electric guitar. You are a foolish boy. Absolutely pathetic.

And the fact that their musical styles and similar in nature and sound would represent a damn good tour.

oh and by the way, I played guitar for 5 years.

peace. dont worry about responding to this you uneducated fuck

[foxyfoxy06]

i'm nothing getting the comparison with John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz!

Mayer is streets ahead of both of those artists! I like the others but come on, they are not a patch on John.

[jlsmith79]

Friends, Lovers, or Fuck-buddies

[drah22692]

JM: "I know you may recognize those cords from.." GUY: "THE HURT!"

[80Julieta]

thats why I love him,cause he always writes&sings true storys,Love this song

[sarahschaelchlin]

He makes my day, every time I listen to him.

[keljunproductions]

put the hurt on a fucking album!!!

[tylerdwells]

Danelectro?

[hepshdd]

@tylerdwells duesenberg i think

[tylerdwells]

@hepshdd Youre right...I didnt think JM would stoop down to Danelectros

[antony5linteau]

Im sorry im french and im trynna learn english, what does hyperbole means ?

[tylerdwells]

@antony5linteau an extreme exaggeration. example; Im so hungry I can eat a horse.

[hale2100]

"I promise you, I'm about to sing to you the most important lesson about love you're ever ever going to need. HYPERBOLE? Yes." I love this guy.

[NaaSilveira]

oh God, I love him , and this music, merry with me John :D

[hellounderestimate]

amazing version right here.

[estherr0]

i think this guy blows his own mind on daily bases he's that funny and smart..just amazing you can see he's got the highway blues in his bones.so engaging

[0126578]

at the outro, what are the chords of that part?

[BRAIN2EXCURSION]

@0126578 A, G#/A, F#m, G, D, F, A, E7 ...thats the general layout haha

[0126578]

@BRAIN2EXCURSION Thx, I'm looking to his fingers, think I've got them already, I can't only figure out what the 4th chord is (not just a D in my opinion)

[BRAIN2EXCURSION]

@0126578 I think it might be a Dmaj7. I've looked over it again and at his fingers and im sure this is the right progression: A, G#/A, F#m, A7, Dmaj7, G7sus4-G7, A, E7. A bit more going on there but it's more accurate :P

[0126578]

@BRAIN2EXCURSION That's it, the A7! Thx for the help dude!

[poopfishtaco]

@colmas The things I find wrong with this statement (and I love both musicians): Jack Johnson creates real, positive, tangible change in the world. 100% of tour profits to charity...and also, Jack Johnson listeners wouldn't say they dislike John-they just wouldn't say anything at all! Mahalo, my friends...

[onegirltwoletters]

love this wise guy :-)

[starrieguitar3]

One of my favorite John Mayer songs EVER. God so gorgeous.

[str8doinyurmom]

:c \ sad, but true... i really liked this guy and his music prior to his 2010 Playboy interview... i do forgive him (and others) yes... i am still faithful/sincere to all his music prior to the interview - will it ever be the same? #@!$@ NO! - fool me once shame on you, fool me again shame on me!

he's entitled to his feelings, and so am i - just got too cocky, 'that's all...' i even bought Battle Studies - but it'll be the last...

next album? Bigots, Racists or Nothing... (sad) :c \

[blackalbino360]

I like how he talks to the audience too, the best part is when he gives a little monologue, and then, "anything other than a yes is no!" I love it man.

[woohoohelen]

is there anyone can translate the words he said  befor the singing??

i can only understand alittle bit

if anyone would do that thanks a million times

[BlackMambaPANIC]

had always been one of my favourites off the album! I love this video

[Samaharajah]

JOHN CLAYTON MAYER, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!

[charlzcox]

fanfrikintastic! u gotta love it ... 4:57 ... amen ... awooooooman ... thanxs 4 posting!

[johnnnybruce]

Was there a big crowd kim?

[daliksheppy]

Love the guy at the end when he recognises the chord progression

John- "I know you might recognize those chords from..."

Man- "HURT"

another guy- " the hurt"

It makes me happy to be part of the crew because I did the same thing in my chair.

Me- " The hurt, oh wow yeah!"

[kbg4213711]

I want that guitar...

[ntex1980]

I love John mayer!!

[malintesky03]

the guitar version of this song is so much better than the album version its not even funny. if he did this version on the album it woulda been a hit single

[FullArmorAlchemist]

why'd you cut the video short?

[JonasBrothersfan448]

i love that song. i have that cd

[blazerprime]

john mizzzle rock

[malintesky03]

this is infinitely better than the studio version. he should do a remake of the song (much like mraz did w/ i'm yours) in acoustic and it would be a huge hit.

[OwensMusic1]

Dislike jack johnson. dislike John Mayer.. LOVE JOHN MAYER!

[hitoshikataoka]

I love this song. Now I'm trying to copy this song. :-)

[antony5linteau]

What's he saying at 5:23 when people start to laugh ?

[goopy630]

@antony5linteau

he says "this is the most important lesson in love you'll ever learn....hyperbole? (in high pitch voice)....yes.

[tiarne94]

@antony5linteau

i think it says "hyperbole?"

but i'm not entirely sure :S

[iarina12]

i love john mayer . :x

[ashlejj]

hahah :P

cave-man to lady gaga . briliant :D !

[ashlejj]

hahaha x'D

he's really briliant !

[robinfr93]

iv been seeing him perform since he first strtd!!

he has finally learned hw to perform wid feel!!

go john!!

[guitarzoo22]

@robinfr93 you are crazy if you think he wasn't performing with feel when he first started.

[ssertrof]

lol at the people aggressively yelling out THE HURT

[lucyc66]

lol @ the girl who says 'good stuff' after like 3 seconds of song...but she's right

[williamsan13]

ugh thank you john mayer for creating a soundtrack for my life everytime.  I appreciate it.

[supersingerevan]

You know those quotes that you come across in your life, that just shoot straight to the depths of your soul the moment you first hear them? John Mayer is the master of doing that to my soul, and this little outro is just another example of that kind of quote. Pure brilliance.

[sadstephen]

WOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!! Love it when he segued to The Hurt!!!! Wooooaaaah!!!!

[sharonsu1109]

Nice one!!

[Sakurautada]

i wish the vid didnt stop where it did. i wanna know what he says next..

[beranny86]

i just can´t stop listening battle studies,,, every single song hits my heart, specially this one....

[freakles28]

he looks so stoned in this video

[dborges1993]

just beautiful ! the hurt... what long time, wonderful song!

[kayteeaa]

i wish i could have been at this show, he looed like he had so much fun! love love love

[johnnnybruce]

Love that tone :)

[dollygirly31]

he is AH-MAZING! :)

[deathcabforjessie]

i love this live version good GOD he's amazing

[stephskiba]

loving this. He speaks the truth :)

[albertstroke]

love that ending chord progression

[smullie38]

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

[dancoulsdan]

Love his pure soul... i connect so much to his music...n were born on the same day :)...

[elbasha123]

Cave man to lady Gaga..it's the same thing!

LOL :)

[Lindenlc]

I dig how he'll just start sampling Alisha or someone in the middle of his song.

[diswan5]

@wilsonea5707. the man is 32

[wilsonea5707]

Yo for real, this dude is a 24 year old genius!!!!

[sashakjv]

very beatles-esque

[sashakjv]

I wish i could just hang with this dude for a couple of days just chillin! I love this song sooo very true painful but true!!

[lizzzzzzyyyyy]

Favorite song from Battle studies :)

[colmas]

dislike jack johnson, like john mayer

[theblueside55]

@colmas like jack johnson, like john mayer :)

[colmas]

@theblueside55 ill admit... sometimes i feel like i waking up slow. but only sometimes

[MJT4FREE]

@colmas

Like Jack Johnson, love John Mayer

[pumukellll]

@colmas

why should anybody do that oO they are both great in their way....jacks the chilller and john wakes me up, dont know why but thats it!

[MrOdellBrown]

@colmas

They are not comparable

[pumukellll]

@colmas doesnt make sense, their both great...

[TheJzai]

Hey that's not right. take your family for example. What is he suggesting? You have to love your family but not treat them as a friend? (or other way around). There's a tiny hole in his logic there.

But great song!

[srvalfaro]

@TheJzai um no..are you a lover with one of your family members? cause that's called incest..lol you can love your family, but by lovers he means partners or mates.

[schaflava]

@TheJzai Yeah he's most definitely referring to a relationship....he says that at the beginning!!

[HDIDDYINC]

I totally think i heard Demi Lovato in the background.

[timfresen]

Next time you film this guy, keep the camera pointed at his hands!!

[KyllahSoriano]

Does anyone know where I can find the ending of this song - where he's singing those clever lines? Or how it ends anyway?

[kinney1990]

its from a song he had called the hurt, he never recorded it there is a live video of him playing it at eddies attic

[johnnnybruce]

B-E-A-utiful guitar sound wanna have it

[2browndogs]

Beautiful!! No one compares to Mayer live! Cant wait to see him in KC. I have followed him around for years and he is a musical genius.....lyrics, voice and crazy guitar skills!!

[ClaireJubb]

Sick fun. Love it.

[TheJzai]

1:16 ... you don't need to outline the obvious

[soiimagiinee]

HI. I'm from Chile and I'm learning english, I love Mayer.. his music is beautiful. and live is much better..

but Can someone write what he said on the beginning? because I understood like half of what he said.. so please anybody.. would be great :)

[nesselegant]

you are so lucky..youve met my man mayer ..oh my

[snowman3645]

show his hands!!!

[TobyKruit]

What's he singing after The Hurt?

[pickmeuptaylor]

i think he's making words up for fun

[bvseattle]

Gotta see John Mayer play live some time.

[katedawg1588]

I wish the hurt was on the album, one of my favorites!

[thehalfcast]

ok if ur tired of him y did u watch this.the fact that you probably think that u have a superior taste in music compared to "mayer fans" is pretty arrogant and immature. Facts are facts.People like his musics.If his music is getting airplay over your jealous and insignificant criticism then you should take a look at your life and see the differences of where you are compared to John Mayer. His creativity is clear to the rest of the world. Just accept that he is talented.Whats so hard about that

[SaladTaste]

Sir, would you kindly crawl back into the one-dimensional metal rock you have chosen to live under, and let the people that enjoy Mayer actually enjoy him.

Thank you.

[ASFS11]

badass

[Samfie]

this song sounds just like the Old Cape Cod song- Patti Page: "if your fond of sand dunes and salty air..."

[hrzlvn]

battle studies is so fantastic.nothing could be better

[listentothesetunes]

continuum?

[graymatterrx]

There are almost NO artists I would say this about, but Mayer is much better live than his studio works. He sounds better, relaxed, entertaining, creative . . . he brings it to the audience. His blues stuff live is very rewarding.

[JMraiderssoccer06]

yeeesss exactly!!!

[BalancedAction36]

John Mayer and Jason Mraz are both as good or better than their studio albums

[SarahBahar]

how often does he go on tour?

[JMraiderssoccer06]

it depends on when his albums come out

[SarahBahar]

@JMraiderssoccer06 but its mostly yearly right?

[JMraiderssoccer06]

yeah pretty much

[Nikoh04]

this is so true, jason mraz is also very good live, they just both love music

[kangalex]

@Nikoh04 as much as i LOVE jason mraz... you cannot compare john mayer and jason mraz, especially live. i consider jason mraz to be the *highschool talent show* version of john mayer :| harsh.. but true. john mayer is in his own league

[pranilseoni101]

I wish Mayer, Mraz and Jack johnson toured together. god, that would be good, and they would make a fucking killing lol

[Goyel04]

unreal line up mate haha

[pranilseoni101]

lol man that would be incredible

[Levidamanguitar]

Ive always wanted to see Mayer and Jack Johnson do something together. Sure, their style and way they play is WAY different, but I cant help but wonder how well it would sound.

[aprilforthepoet]

@pranilseoni101 omg i ve though of that trio so many times lmao

[wammybarsolo21]

@pranilseoni101 ben harper should be in there on that tour hes killer

[DrumminFoo92]

I think the world would explode....

[alecmacneil]

@pranilseoni101 maybe DMB as well, even though that's a bit different, I think it would still be sick haha

[cumberlands]

@pranilseoni101 yessir

[WeezyTiff]

@pranilseoni101 omg. i would kill for that tour

[AlanDavidMusic]

What are the chords in the outro??? Same chords as The Hurt but what are they?

[magikmike22]

would anyone agree,that the tempo of this version is better than the album version? could be that i just got used to this 1 before the album dropped...

peace

[browneee07]

I'm in the same boat. I like this version better but then again, it could be that we just got used to this version. I like the tempo on this one better but it's all good. =)

[Garrydeee]

Saved the best til last on the album definately!

[pleasuremuffin]

He doesn't seem particularly smart to me. Doesn't seem like a prick either. Guess he gets too many girls or somethin to make people hate him, I donno.......

[bholloway546]

It doesn't matter if hes smart or not, hes personable and a good entertainer. Plus he did study music at Berkeley for a year or two so he knows what hes doing.

[novus7065]

berklee in boston darling not the berkeley in cali.

[bryson4t]

your name is 'pleasuremuffin' whens the last time you got a girl to hang out with you.

[pleasuremuffin]

What the hell does that have to do with anything I said.

[lizzzzzzyyyyy]

aww i love this song! it's one of my favorites off battle studies!!

[DarioDallago]

he`s good hey

[davidcarr90]

I'm really glad he used a piano on the studio version. It's a piano type of song.

Somehow it reminds me of the outro to Layla by Eric Clapton!

[whonoseguy]

i actually like this version better. thats just me

[leosgf]

This song is so Eric Clapton Feat George Harrison (main riff in studio version)

[Supaj00]

trying to figure out the chords to this but they camera person did a great job of missing his hands : (

I know its A, B, Bm some kind of E7 I need to know more about thumb over barre chords

[wannabefun]

I think those 4 chords you said are voiced like this:

5x765x

7x785x

7x775x

x7677x

and then that little riff he plays. No idea how to play that, though it can't be to difficult to find out by yourself

[kyudooooo]

i don't thikn she's really interested in the chords.

[BW9191]

verse is- A, B, Bm, E7, D, A. the chorus is- F#, B7, Bm, E, D, A.. just mess around with the chords and you'll get it.. thats what I did

[BSx6]

How does he do it? He manages to always change his stuff up a little on each CD but still keep that John Mayer greatness...

[mxrdr18m]

yah! but its 3 days till battle studies buddy. but im ok i pre-ordered my shit haha getting that album shirt to

[Estelle101]

9 days! Battle Studies in storessss! :D

[zosoandbadcompanyman]

stoned blue rock and roll sure helped US through

[carammela]

the bonus track is a version of "i'm on fire" of bruce springsteen, at least on itunes. can't wait to hear the studio version of this song!!!

[soldoncookies]

can't wait for the album. also, check out KEVIN ROWE. similar voice to john mayer, but piano, not guitar. he's awesome and new on the scene.

[samucalencar1]

looking forward to hear this song studio style!

[paulefty]

Haha at like 0:31 he reminds me of Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock!!

[brandodeano3]

Honestly. Best song on this new album. Taking on Water is definitely more deep. But, man the ending line of this song is just awsome.

[theblackdahlia88]

i just hope he's intrigated 'the hurt' somehow in this song on the album...i love that song.

[gman3288]

Check out John's youtube page @mayermusic. He has a clip of the end of this song incorporating The Hurt. :)

[oilerfan1416]

taking on water isnt on the album. i actually thought it was. on amazon the track listing does not show taking on water.

[lucbossink]

Actualy, Tacking on Water is on the album. It is one of the iTunes bonestracks!

[KDUBZ06]

I can't wait to get his new cd on the 13th.... I know it comes on the 17th but my friends dad owns a cd store and hes gonna give me the copy 4 days early :)

[milindrakulugammana]

Oh my GOD!!! I'm going to see him on the 24th of November.. I love that last verse. "Anything less than yes is no, anything other than stay is go." I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH!!

[gangstah09]

LUCKY YOU! i cant go i'm not 19 :(

[milindrakulugammana]

Well, his winter tour's coming up, you can definitely go for that, so don't be too cut up about it :)
