John Mayer Trio at Tower Records NYC

[surfer1211]

Guys, guys, guys. You got it all wrong.. Mr. John Mayer is up there playing a Fender Stratocaster from 1969, the year Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed the Apollo 11 on the moon. That's why its painted pearl white to emulate the bright, shine of the moon. If you look closely their signatures are on the 13th and 14th frets; thus the reason he's using the pickups known only as the Lunar Rover set. The neck pickup is 1,500 USD alone. He's playing a real classic guitar; a true piece of history.

@surfer1211 How can we look closely at the frets in this video?

[surfer1211]

@DiamondMusicChannel Well on a Mac when you can zoom in and out of your desktop by holding 'ctrl' and simultaneously sliding two fingers up and down; than once you've activated the zoom feature, you can use one finger to move about the desktop as it was before just in a zoomed view. To exit, hold 'ctrl' again and slide two fingers down and it will return to normal. This of course is on a laptop, I don't remember how to use this on a desktop...

[DiamondMusicChannel]

@surfer1211 Oh alright :)

[stlbadger]

I'm sure it really matters what guitar he's playing

[JohnMayer07]

@puchalaka No, you show me your source for spewing bullshit. Anything I've ever heard about the Black One has said the same story: It was built by John Mayer and John Cruz at the Fender Custom Shop Factory. If it was a Mexican-Made, it would be in regular production, which means everyone could have one.

[PorkInTheBiscuit]

FYI, John still owns, and plays his first US made Fender Strat, a 96 ESRV signature.

He bought it at the shop I worked at - Pro Music on Black Rock turnpike. That guitar actually was about $699 or $749 or in that naighborhood. AmSTD's were $499.

Gone are those days, homies. :(

[GiZm0130]

I have that guitar. Its looks as beautiful as it sounds.

[JohnMayer07]

i'm sure, because you can TOTALLY tell just by the color and aged hardware, right? give me a break

[GiZm0130]

lol. i seriously do. its a fender 60's classic series strat sonic blue edition with an aged pick headstock and pick guard. it also has vintage 60's pickups. i have the same guitar.

[Malosovich]

agreed

and ignoring his amp/effects, of course

[EdestavMusic]

Not to offend you in any way, but do you think that john mayer would play a fender guitar that costs about 700 USD?

[Bwoods612]

@EdestavMusic It was in the 90s, economy was in waaaay better shape, everything cost about half of what it does now

[SrvMaYeR25]

its definitely oomm..very good srv style

[kingjasper2]

do you not think the guy that was there and took the fucking video knew the song?? he was there, he heard, you didn't! It is oomm

VIVA JM3!!

[moltenslag]

This is gravity, not out of my mind

[filamante]

it IS out of my mind. how could you confuse the two? you are bizarre.haha.

[flabscabble]

Its gravity as its in the key of G. Out of my mind is in the key of D. Fuck off

[APachinoMusic]

this is out of my mind..

[flabscabble]

Gravity. Listen to this and out of my mind on another video. DIFFERENT KEY!

[toosdedoos]

dude don't you get they're playing a blues progression?

[flabscabble]

don't you get that gravity is a blues progression? fucking morons! IN G MAJOR

Check another video of gravity, this is the extended solo

[texbls]

you are wrong, it's quiet common to mix d with a and g minor, its something like tournaround thing, btw listen what Pino plays... thats not bassline from gravity.

[sochries]

Can you not hear the light organ in the background? G major. Your talking shit bro. This ISSSSSS the solo to gravity when he plays with the trio. People are deaf I swear

[texbls]

ok for me sounds very bluesy like Out of my Mind, but that can be Gravity, because he often used this strat on this song on trio tour. Gravity has also this more bluesy part of solo Srv type.

[Golfmackan]

Haha you are immensely retarded. This is "out of my mind".

[filamante]

gosh. i hate it when people act like they know everything. just listen to the darn bassline. its out of my mind.

[tystratocaster]

its gravity pino is playing a blues progressing but that how the song goes on the extened solo aslo this is in G oomm is in d , and their is an organ in the back round, oomm doesnt have an organ in it

[NateLovesBlues]

Good Stuff, John Mayer is very talented

[ogodefacto]

When you watch/hear SRV playing Texas Flood it puts John Mayer into perspective: he really just rehashes licks and sounds like a freshman compared to the masters of old.

[SummerTeethEtc]

He's a damn good player, but he loses amazing amounts of credibility for dating Jessica Simpson. I mean, she's hot.... but damn is she useless.

[FenderSupersonic]

texas Flood by SRV??

Dude Texas fl00d was a cover outta of 1952 or 1954 ...

So anyone who's ALWAYS pointing to SRV is a f00l

SRv was and is a legend.... but John mayer is amazing in his own way...

If someone out there can play texas blues in G without sounding at leats A BIT like SRV is just playing dum or a unknown legend

[jimidelmusic]

right on bro.. ur comment put a smile on my face!!! srv rocks,mayer rocks, blues rule.simple :)

[dreamtheater21]

I love the idiotic comparisons. You cats wanna play that game, you should be careful you dont get burned. Next time you see an SRV clip, im going to bust in with this equation: Albert King + Jimi hendrix = SRV. Everybody is influenced by everybody. Thats the way it works, get over it. Dont make me ocme back and own you punk snots again...

[thenewpollution]

you guys are idiots, just becuase someone plays blues in the same fucking key, doesnt mean its copying srv. jesus people you are all wastes of sperm

[rixills]

its aint gonna give up on love, srv.

[bobbarkerrox]

Yeah he definitely had Texas Flood in his mind when he was improvising this

[tempeston]

'Texas flood' by SRV

[xmeltedfirex]

wrong, its called the blues, its a style of music, check it out

[user5236]

No, you are wrong, a good amount of that was very similar to Texas Flood by SRV. Still very cool though.

[kicker44]

No, xmeltedfirex, you are right. If you play blues on a strat its gonna be pretty difficult not to play something that is "very similar" to SRV. Im so sick of that comparison.

[kicker44]

And since this song is Texas Flood, he might not be able to help playing Texas Flood licks on his guitar. Makes sense to me. This is not Out of My Mind. Out of My Mind is in a totally different key and the bass line is not like that at all.

[bsb90]

goddamn yall, does it really matter what song it is? just agree that it is a blues lick and it is well played.

[crushme41dmb]

man, when will John learn how to play guitar? HE SUCKS! (being really sarcastic. . . go jm3)
