I don't know where you all get the idea of him saying he used autotune - yeah he has said in the ustream that he uses autotune, but that was fuckin ironically ment! I'm more than sure that he polish the vocals when mixing, that's common, but i've seen him live and i'm 99% positive that there's no autotune, and if there is it's not the autotune t-pain uses that's for sure...
yea he's admitted to using autotune. i know it's so widely used these days and don't really have any problem with it being used as long as it's not noticeable. I just thought that it stuck out like a sore thumb on 'every' at 3:59 and couldn't believe that it had been released like that (i know this is only a home demo though).
I think his singing has really come on a lot since his early days though
@huesofblues Wow, I've never had a problem with Mayer's use of autotune (because tbh, there's almost always a better live version than the album version for his songs), but yeah, at 3:59-4:01, on that "every", the autotune is really annoying. Oh well, not a big deal though.
He can sing ridiculously well live as we all know, so who cares if he uses autotune, we all know he doesn't need it, he's just a ridiculous perfectionist, lol.
Besides, to me, his guitar work is the real beauty.
@KovieMatt but remember this is a home demo so he wasnt able to record a production quality track it was meant to just record a "rough draft" for the song thats why some lyrics are muttered, he didnt have the lyrics down yet
@sirfreakish Sigh... it's disappointing just how misinformed people are about auto-tune. I don't particularly like it, but seriously... Are you willfully ignorant or just lazy and/or dumb?
@KovieMatt You seem to be talking about yourself when you say "misinformed". Mayer is sliding up to a note just past his vocal bridge on that one and you mistake it as auto-tune.
So are you willfully ignorant or just lazy and/or dumb?
@huesofblues I'm not hearing a whole lot of autotuning. It is normal for artists to correct their pitch in the studio, which I'm sure he's done, but I'm not sure I'm picking up one what you mean. One way of telling if a musician is worth their salt is if their live singing sounds like their studio singing.
This is the kind of music JM needs to focus in on. He is the man when he gets that blues feel going, songs like this, come back to bed and especially covered in rain. His new album was too heavily produced and didn't have the same kind of blues and soul put into it.
yes you are right in a way, but johns new album is definatley something to show that he can come up with amazing hooks and melodies that are similar to room for sqaues and heavier things, the man has already proved so much in different genres.I thought the same thing but then I kept listening and fell in love with the album. It just makes me so excited to see what he'll do next
this is how the sound on the battle studies should have been, but sadly.. nooo, noo. i think the continuumish style is more interesting and musical, basicly just sound much better! the other will die in the crowd
I had the people at my school in the arts department paint me one up with airbrushes and stuff. It came out really really good and then I had then finish it with a clear coat. They didnt even charge me because it was a "project", I was really happy.
Wauw the production is alot like Room For Squares , i actually like this version better than the studio version he has on Heavier Things, but i still think the one from Where The Light Is beats em both :P
Lots of people make replicas of them, some pretty damn good. Have a look on, ebay, they pop up from time to time. One of the fender custom shop ones would set you back quite a bit.
They're several companies that replicate that particular model. I can't name them for you though. You should try and search for Jimi Hendrix' Monterey strat model; that's what it's actually based on.
I'm planning on painting one myself, don't know how that will come out though.
Dude, AWESOME. I think this for one shows John's incredible writing ability. He really wants to make the song perfect when he writes it. Secondly, I think if John had a say in his early albums it would have more of this feel. It is still laid back and has pop elements in it but it mixes in a little blues-rock element that makes it soulful. This is the real John Mayer genre. More "Continiumish" as markitymark90 said.
this is so much more laid back and chill and smooth this is definetly my fav. version....even the singing is laid back hahaha...this cud definetly b a song u listen to when ur stoned hahaha
I love this song so much more when he uses his strat, this is kind of in between the acoustic version and his trio version, although his trio version is still like over the top awesome.
This is really cool, but what's he saying right before the chorus? He's kinda mumbling something about a queen...does anyone have the lyrics to this version?
Thanks for posting this man, it's beautiful! One of my all-time favorite songs. :)

Yes, it is quite similar at the Grammy's but I think his best jazzy/bluesy version HAS to be with the Trio on the live album Try!
Check it out.
The vocals are a lot smoother as well, and Pino really tears up the bass.
