John Mayer - Crossroads Guitar Lesson

[TheZukMan]

0:49 isn't he teasing Slash?

[Carlovfx]

Everybody stop with this stupid arguing about the guitar model! It's clearly a Jackson!!

[king666nothing]

@Carlovfx Jackson??? Looks like BC Rich Warlock to me.

[FAYEandAJ]

some people like apparently don't understand that musicians aren't at all like regular people.. they just see things differently. of course he's not your hollywood movie star/celebrity.. he's a fucking awesome musician with a killer feel for music.. NOT a douchebag.

[wdennis8]

what I love about this guy is that he loves to play and he's great at it. The music continually evolves and there is something totally primal about it.

[itsgeraldt]

wtf why do people keep calling him a douchebag? fuckin hell..

[jr4chargers]

@itsgeraldt mostly because he makes jokes that people don't like, he used to be a very sarcastic person but he stopped since people where taking him to serious.

[chikisam9]

I can hear the sound of gibson les paul. Cant you???

[leeportcam]

Hi I'm john mayer and I'm a douche bag. My father didnt love me. My mother made me suckle too long...until 15 i think but I blocked most of it out. So all I have is my guitar, and even that I rip off everything I can play. I have no style. So bear with me while I attempt to act cool. Oh and I sing like a girl..

[orgi13man]

@leeportcam Nice attempt at trolling, but you fail. Goodbye now.

[leeportcam]

@orgi13man goodbye my love...lol

[orgi13man]

@leeportcam By the way, I sense a bit of jealousy because you aren't a talented and successful musician like he is. And because of the fact that he can get more pussy just by "singing like a girl" than you can with a million dollars worth of reconstructive surgery. And that, my love, is how you troll.

[quincywho]

@leeportcam fuck you

[fattirevsbud]

I like his playing but man is he a douchesack

[LexOpJeHoofd]

I used to have a Gibson Les Paul like that. But then I took a Fender Stratocaster in the knee.

[elfhermie]

Good playing.  HORRIBLE teaching.

[MimilJD]

I hate his Les Paul, i prefer Clapton's blackie Les Paul !!!

[shawnfraser16]

all these people are on crack hes clearly playing a fender strat ....but i'm sure everyone knows that they're just using sarcasm....right?...right??

[jaxpower1]

@shawnfraser16 Nah, he's playing a Gibson Les Paul. Sunburst with maple flame top. You must be hallucinating if you think he's playing a strat.

[ntrbluesx]

 John Mayer...... Calvin Kleins answer to the blues! Diet coke of blues guitarists, the guy needs to spend a couple of years in a dumpster, he's far too clean. Probably uses moisturiser or some shit!

[BeatBuster]

john Mayer is a guitar god..

[F3FisGoodforYou]

What a Douche.

[dahughes44]

jamming on a tuba....trombone...harmonicka.­.......fiddle...stick or big stick. Tell what,when,who and with what or shut pie hole......ty.

[dahughes44]

the vid I'm watching is a Fender not a Gibson....not even close.

[GalaxyHorse]

The guy seems to have settled down quite a lot. Gives a balanced, cogent survey of the piece,

without too much B.S; got to admit it is treading on hallowed ground after all....

[EbHIMYM97]

That's a Fender Strat, he was kidding.

[screenpuller]

@king666nothing.... John was being a smart-ass at the beginning. He's playing a strat, I should know, I own seven of them.

[77roaddog]

damn yall lighten up and realize his sense of fukn funniness..dudes a master and a good guy as well

[MrSpecialK121]

If that's a les paul, my whole life is upside down. I'm pretty sure that was just another one of his jokes at the beginning.

[CJSchecter96]

"Take 6"

"Hi Im John Mayer and im Retarded."

he makes weirder faces when playing guitar than i do!

jk hes a great player

[danakerman]

John Mayer proves 3 things here: 1) He's a very funny cat; 2) He has AMAZING technical skill on the guitar; 3) most importantly, he's an inherently musical and intelligent guitarist who knows how to wisely use those skills.

[king666nothing]

@danakerman 4) He plays Gibson Les Paul.

[holdemstacy]

@king666nothing Looks like a fender to me. :D

[king666nothing]

@holdemstacy Watch the video, dude. The guy himself says it's a Gibson Les Paul - it must be true.

[rallyivan1234]

@king666nothing You are a gullible, John is obviously joking.

[KidsOnOverload45]

@king666nothing haven't watch the whole video yet. But I can totally tell that, he is NOT playing a gibson les paul. That's definitely a fender stratocaster.

[king666nothing]

@KidsOnOverload45 Are you dumb or just stupid?

[simonandre95]

@king666nothing probably both

[SmoothShavingCream]

@king666nothing I think Mayer was being sarcastic when he said its a Gibson Les Paul. Look at those pickups, the shape of the guitar, where the volume controls are, and where the pick up selectors are.

Google "fender stratocaster" and Gibson Les Paul and see which one is more identical to the guitar Mayer is playing in this video.

[fulivius]

@king666nothing lol he must be stupid

[VivaLaPeacecore]

@king666nothing funniest fucking shit iv seen on youtube in awhile!

[JEUXolim]

@KidsOnOverload45 seriously man, you honestly think we're being serious?

[JLaLomia90]

@KidsOnOverload45 lol, we're aware of this. I actually think he was joking.

[xalancampbellx]

@king666nothing He's clearly taking the piss

[stagm3]

@king666nothing lol he was trying to be funny by saying it's a gibson it's a fender john sense of humor is pretty quick, you can't take a lot of what he says seriously or literally or he'll make you feel dumb lol

[clavedesol89]

@king666nothing c'mon, that's a fender stratocaster!! He was totally joking!

[fenderstratguy]

@holdemstacy That's the new Les Paul silver anniversary Leo Fender Limited Edition.

[mysticalzero]

@holdemstacy Naaah, of course that's the Gibson Les Paul - John Mayer Signature.Model dude!

[leeportcam]

@danakerman You forgot one thing dude....he's a cocksucker, but you already knew that.

[danakerman]

@leeportcam Actually, he's not. Ricky Martin... yes. John Mayer? Nope. Actually he seems like a guy I'd love to have a beer with. He's fuckin hilarious

[IamJokie]

and this of course is a gibson les paul..

[machash25]

facinating fingerwork

[king666nothing]

@machash25 That's what she said. ... Sorry, couldn't resist.

[TylerGillMusic]

@king666nothing hahahahahahaha, strong.

[cheeseUout]

man he's so good at explaining the musical reasons why he does things. So much better than people just giong "oh you do a D maj, then G min" only

[101DIGITAL010]

@freshboi8745 it seams I need more than a paragraph for you to understand stop trying to change my opinion. you are wasting your time. why does it bother you so much I think he sucks? lots of people do. you don't like dimebag and I'm not here trying to convince you to jump to metal. hell no...in fact stay the hell away.

[DrBlues90]

Hey everyone, this is a bit cheeky of me but I have a youtube channel where I have a few tutorials, jams and blues licks in the style of John Mayer and SRV. It would be great if you could check it out. Cheers ;)

[TheGuitaruler]

@magnusforguitar don't listen to this guy, he's a troll :)

[Mads92789278]

Hello my name is John Mayer and this is a les paul hahaha :)

[verywavy]

He's a very good guitarist and a talented writer. That said, the guy has turned into a total douche, Battle Studies sucked donkey dicks, and his version of Crossroads is nothing short of embarrassing. It sounds like a half-assed demo, rather than a studio cut on a real album. Pull your head out of your ass John. Your first two albums were pretty damn great. Beyond that, the edge is gone and you're sounding more flowery and ego-centric than ever. All of that Hollywood tail is rotting your brain!

[xddlolx]

@verywavy ... have you even seen what he's like now ?

[ebayisajoke]

this guy sucks

[ghall0420]

hes baked as shit

[mbowen9o]

@ghall0420 haha yeah i was just thinking that, damn he's stoned

[danbreen13]

5:19 even his burps sound musical!

[101DIGITAL010]

@snowfosho2 yo dude, don't like anything from this guy. please don't try to convince me. I don't tell any1 to go listen to dream theater. I like it and thats all I care about. This was on my recommended cause youtube is stupid like that if not I would've never commented here trust me.

[pntblnguitarists]

Wow I want that Les Paul so bad!!!

[101DIGITAL010]

@snowfosho2 my opinion ain't gonna change just cause a reply. post your opinions. no need to reply to me for this insignificant thing dude. yeah I think he sux so what? you probably don't like a lot of things I like, surprised?

[king666nothing]

@101DIGITAL010 He's a very good guitarist. It's just that the music he chooses to make is fucking horrible pop bullshit.

[101DIGITAL010]

@king666nothing Steve Vai is great, Tosin, is great, govan is great...this? like I said dude, I got my opinions and of course I know there are people out there that think different. Thats why I don't waste my time replying right out of the bat on a video. I only reply if some1 like u replies me.

[king666nothing]

@101DIGITAL010 I get your point. But I wasn't talking about "great". Not every guitarist is destined to be great. Mayer is definitely not on the same level with Vai, but saying he sucks is a little unfair too.

[101DIGITAL010]

@king666nothing I dont know dude, I look at this and cant help to think he sux.....lol i mean you should know. you even have dimebag as your avatar. you should be use to amazing playing. I just cant lie man, he sux to me forget it

[king666nothing]

@101DIGITAL010 Ok. Cool.

[TimmehTRP]

@101DIGITAL010 You do know that this is fake? They dubbed theirself playing very bad over this..

[101DIGITAL010]

@TimmehTRP no they did not omg let it go he stinks and its my opinion geeesus

[freshboi8745]

@101DIGITAL010 darrell sucks a fat one. just saying.

[101DIGITAL010]

@freshboi8745 the earth is flat. just saying

[freshboi8745]

@101DIGITAL010 john mayer could easily do whatever he played. metal is going up and down solos at fast speeds. no soul or feel at all.

[101DIGITAL010]

@freshboi8745 to you john mayer could stop a bullet with his mind. so, why bother reasoning with a person like you. your only nailing your own coffin as you speak

[freshboi8745]

@101DIGITAL010 oh the ad hom argument style of the majority of the internet. arguing like that just makes you seem petty and unintelligent.

[101DIGITAL010]

@freshboi8745 to be honest I couldn't care less about what a john Mayer's stalker would think of me. you cant even bigging to understand how you've made yourself look like. As I said before, the more you talk the more nails you put on your coffin. Do me a favor and think about changing styles of music cause by the consistency of your replies it sounds to me that you don't have any Friends to talk to. Might be cause you like john mayer the way you do. which is kinda creepy.

[freshboi8745]

@101DIGITAL010 says the man who just typed a paragraph reply to a youtube comment.

[AnaMenendez05]

@willyjaam Thanks! :)

[thatboyzee]

You can't fuck with this dude. He's a sick guitarist/songwriter. AND he pulls hoes like no other. Quit hating.

[voodooblueskid]

now i can play the 90210 theme song!!!!

[king666nothing]

@voodooblueskid It's safe to say that Beverly Hills 90210 theme song is the greatest song of all time. And now you can play it too. Welcome to the club.

[boddumblues]

He's on to something here.

making pauses freshens thing up an let real inspiration hit you, not just playing rationally.

If you do this, even the simplest playing doesn't get boring or predictable.

You start playing a phrase, but having the courage to listen inside for the answer in a call and response fashion, is where playing transends, and everybody can do it!

It is just a question of courage, letting go of rational control, and let music come through.

Go John!

[101DIGITAL010]

omg kill your self you stink at guitar

[VividCourage]

10:03 fart.

[erperejildo]

@VividCourage hahahaha

[bluesky8921]

very good guitarr player, but a real douche

[3117ss]

yuck....terrible tone

[king666nothing]

@3117ss I think it works for the song. Or at least for his version of the song and what he was trying to accomplish with it.

[Jazda1Jazda]

this of course is Gibson Les Paul hahahaha

[MrPauldell]

yeah peter cornish pedal.

[MrPauldell]

what a sound !! what distortion does he use here ?

[Ferrera14]

@MrPauldell think is a fuzz pedal.

[southamptongraphics]

Magic vid but I still don't get the jeff beck thing!

[fenderguitargirl]

He can't play bad even when he tries! :D

[sublime88sublime]

I have never really been a huge fan of John Mayer's music, but i am a big fan of him as a guitarist, he really knows how to play

[outtacastatv]

this guy is a fat jew wanker

[acledfloyd]

The nut on his guitar looks metallic, what kind is it?

[scoobers90]

@acledfloyd its the lsr or lrs or what ever its called, I'm pretty sure thats a jeff beck signature model judging by the but and the heel contour

[king666nothing]

@scoobers90 Yes, this is Jeff Beck Signature Strat.

[acledfloyd]

@scoobers90 Thanks.

[montify]

What he doese here :(

[FiestaWithAD]

"Hi! I'm John Mayer and today i'll be showing you how to turn everyone off at parties" 0:43 What true words....

[TylerGillMusic]

@FiestaWithAD yeah except he can't even suck at it, it still sounds amazing lol

[LucasTheGreat1]

Maaaan... 'Bounce' Is the perfect word to describe the feel of this song! Maybe i'm just too tired, i'm probably thinking too much.. Sush now lucas..

[CR0SSJ]

lol on the jokes at the start :) good sense of humour

[15viceandvirtues]

John is really a joker who likes to mess around sometimes. Haha!

[oliverandm]

Oh he's just the biggest douchebag ever, but i love him for it hahaha

[6whatusay9]

could you slow that down a little bit john

[JustusFriedolin]

i LOVE that solo, every note is perfect. and the way he put that bouncy feel in, this man is a genius. i cant play this for shit, and i tried around with using the thumb as a pulse, as in why georgia etc. gotta get back to this

[stevetom805]

he says how to turn off everone @ 50 sec...i've heard dat b4 ...wat song is dat??

[ALIDH88]

@stevetom805 sweet child of mine : Guns 'N Roses! :D

Merry Christmas :)

[sswgaming]

@stevetom805 sweet child o mine by guns n roses

[TheMaersk12]

[solreva]

@5:19 burp!

[solreva]

@solreva @5:18 actually

[solreva]

@solreva @5:18 actually

[artgonewrong]

I still can't stand this prick.....

[upnorthbacon]

Dude too funny

[inagod]

ZZ top riff,if you ask me

[king666nothing]

@eloelo14 Beverly Hills 90210 theme song.

[OttoAndMusic]

Haha I love this dude's style of playing. I laughed at 9:40 "It's such a fast paced song, I wouln't want to go *plays some nasty licks*"

[brathx]

what's this crunch? great!

[geordie2001]

So hard to play 

[maxamo1000]

Ohh now I know how to play it! Jk I didn't learn a thing because I'm not a guitar prodigy. I play with a pick. John Mayer doesn't need one I guess. I'm a n00b.

[smooretogo]

Somebody PLEASE tell me the tremolo he has on that strat......

I'm building a Carvin strat and need some advice please

[EricPlummerr]

@smooretogo its a jeff beck strat idk what tremelo just look on fender.com

[smooretogo]

@EricPlummerr Thought I did that pretty closely. It's nothing Fender Sells that I can find. If those are tuners I see....I cant identify the Brand..

[11GuitarRyan]

@smooretogo American 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with Stainless Steel Saddles and a LSR Roller nut would help

[smooretogo]

@11GuitarRyan That's exactly what I needed. TYVM!

[11GuitarRyan]

@smooretogo you are welcome, for future reference you can get more detailed specs on fendercustomshop(dot)com.

[heroinhero69]

john mayer is a great guitarist....i dont get why he plays all the poppy lame shit

[decadence18]

4:54 show of hands..... JM should make a ska/raggae album!!!

[CasioJM]

@decadence18 err awkward

[mrkung19]

Hahah that´s a Fender stratocaster!! 

[MrCoverLover]

@mrkung19 Wow really ? thanks for clearing that up !

[smooretogo]

Is that locking mech on the nut???? Or maybe steel or brass... I ALWAYS wondered what a brass nut would do for a strat. I have Carvin V220 with one...lots of sustain...

On another live vid he looks like he has foam under the strings on the pegboard....???

[smooretogo]

Is that a steel, or brass nut on that guitar?? Or just a lock??

[AnaMenendez05]

Its funny how people dont get the Gibson Les Paul joke.

[Themillen6]

@AnaMenendez05 Yeah I'm none of those guys. Can you explain it? :)



[AnaMenendez05]

@Themillen6 Sure, he is saying with sarcasm the wrong name of the guitar, but he knows the type of guitar.. It's a Jeff Beck Stratocaster. :)

[king666nothing]

@AnaMenendez05 Cannot be - Jeff Beck plays exclusively BC Rich Warlocks.

[MrThom509b]

@FannyEssen1 yeah

[MitchellJKnight]

he is such a wanker, that poor strat

[WillsTechShow]

WHAT IS THE FUZZ PEDAL ON THIS CALLED?

[kartman74usa]

@WillsTechShow ..... pete cornish fuzz pedal...... he also said in the mag that he doesn´t like that pedal because it only sounds good enough playing on stackato mode.

[JohnDCvlog]

@WillsTechShow Paul Cornish NG-2 :) hope you can afford it dude hahaha

[MrThom509b]

no he dont he use fender stratocaster. duh!

[AnaMenendez05]

"Hey Im John Mayer, welcome to a ____" I dont understand, please some say to me what did he say there!

[neontrain]

@AnaMenendez05 he says welcome to....how to shred

[willyjaam]

@AnaMenendez05 "how to shred".

[100misslm]

What song Does he play after he says : today I'll be showing you how to turn everyone off at parties?

[Dave24hrs]

@100misslm Guns & Roses - Sweet Child O´ Mine

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@100misslm Sweet Child Of Mine.

[100misslm]

@SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1 yeah I knew that I recognized the song.... thanks for responding

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@100misslm No problem dude.

[zaBleza]

What a tone.

[STORYTASTIC]

the best there is today

[gould0453]

[IMaDEM0N]

that was Beverly Hills 90210 theme played in the style of the theme from the movie Top Gun by Stevie Stevens

[stockmarket101]

@IMaDEM0N win

[nakedtreepunk]

He's playing a Strat...

[VANCOUVERISLANDBUOY]

[musicolai]

He is so damned skilled with his right hand!

[Jaguar9310]

okay...now show us how a normal person would play it (:

[FreaquedeMusique]

I love these kinds of videos.. they just make my day..

this is prolly the 10 millionth time ive seen this..
