It means that the song has 6 half beats per measure (you need basic music knowledge to understand this) 6 half beats is 3 whole beats that is why you can count to three while following the rythm in this song... and he actually does this at some point in the video. Hope it helps !!
When he says 6/8, it's a time signature. It means that there are 6 beats in a measure and that each beat is an 8th note. That's why in Daughters, if you try to dance to it, it'll be kind of a waltz.
I like how he says New Deep will feel good to play every night, and I can't find a live version anywhere. I love New Deep, but it seems it is one of Mayer's least favorite songs. I wish he played it more.
Ironically, he says "I know what you'd say, 'this won't last longer than the rest of the day', but you're wrong this time", and it didn't last much longer.. :P
Redfining pop music....exactly what i've been saying. I'm glad I can actually quote him now. It's perfectly similar to the way I treat my music. Blues/jazz with a pop sensibility. It's so honorable to write songs that John Q Public can get behind, but also push the creative limits and give the listener something lasting to think about. The pop/art boundry hasn't been pushed like this before in a very long time. Thank you Mayer for inspiring a new generation of musical conquest.
lol around 1:00 when hes playing new deep i bet thats what one of his rooms looks like except no glass cases he just has all of his guitars and pedals sitting out man that would be awesome..have a guitar center in your house haha but u own everything and u can just mess around all day

i think that daughters is actually in 12/8 but i mean it's not much of a difference just how many beats are in the measure lol =]

wow, very well said, i coudn't agree more, it's very nice to see "pop" be so bluesy/jazzy, like i never imagined it would be!
