it's too weird to me that a guy that plays the guitar so well could repeatedly be up for "best pop" awards. lol seems like he should be in a genre of his own to me.
I recorded this 3 years ago when my son was a baby. Whenever I would play it he would stop in his tracks and watch or if he was crying and upset all it took was the first few notes of this song! I love this man.. he soothes my soul.
she probably cut him off. i agree though the natural resolution would sound very cool but, on the other hand, the feeling of "leave em' wantin more" from that unresolved chord is a killer too. Either way, the song fucking rocks!
the way he does it is hard he puts it in between his 2nd and 3rd finger and he plays with his thumb and first....i put it in my first finger i like curl it around and then i use thumb and second...i just got used to it before i even heard of mayer

he sings so good live. that's when you know somebody is truly amazing. when not just their album sounds great.. but them performing live sounds even BETTER!
That is an awesome comment - I have loved EJ's stuff for my entire life and only recently have I been distracted by JM's songwriting...I hope it turns out to be true!
oh my gosh he is amazing.. like some people are like "he is so boring" and stuff like that,,... but like listen to him live or go see him live.... he is AMAZING!!!!! <33333
I like how he lets his fans into his personal life it makes you realize that he is a real person. Most celebs are to Hollywood for me. Mayer is one of the few real talents out there today.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love his music, I just wish his personal stuff was muted. I think his blog quotes etc. probably turn people off that would otherwise listen to him sooner. I know that was the case for me.
i love it how his live versions are always a little different from his studio version. that's how you know he's actually singing, instead of lip syncing. i love it when he changes the lyrics a little! it makes each rendition of a song a new experience.
John mayer ....this guy has so much to offer to music that its just amazing. He is so talented that there is no question in my mind that he is with out a doubt in legend status all ready. Thanks john for bringing me so much to my life. Your music will always be the center point of my life.
that is what happens when you are a guitar player. You play one guitar for a long ass time and learn your way around it. "Aged" guitars can be bought, but it brings with it a certain skill/seniority that cannot be bought. So it's kind of expected that you will be skilled when others see you with a beat up, aged strat!
more than likely it is a fender custom shop made to look like that. It shows similarities to SRV's number one look and it would have had to of been played heavily for many years for that much wear and tear.
well figuring that SRV is john's main inspiration and hero, it would make sense if john got custom made strat to look similar to Stevie's. you can tell by this song that john was influenced by SRV cause it reminds me so much of Stevie's "Lenny".
he's always been good guys. judging from his first album i just knew he was gonna be always different and successful. he's great.. one of the best, humble and he's with jessica
Continuum definitely tries to culture some of those mainstream kids, getting into...better music, as opposed to "hey hey you you I don't like your girlfriend." JM brought out the blues on this album.
I have had so many occurences where people have started talking about JM collaberations on shows, etc. and have brought up, "yeah he was with some new guy Eric Clapton"
I never respected him for the stuff he had on the radio a couple years ago, and although I heard he was moving to bluesey stuff I hand't heard any. I saw this performance on TV a couple weeks ago, and the guy knows how to right songs. Hes also got a really good guitar sound! I like it!
I don't know... doesn't seem to bad. Continuum was all his own, he produced it and everything so I would think it's the way he wants it to be which would mean he's not fed up, not totally.
he's amazing
