  • I think the guy is just misunderstood

  • DeLa IS the man haha

  • Sucha beautiful song. still 32 dislikes

  • DeLa was the man...

  • No one is perfect, including artists. As a matter of fact, alot of artists are tortured souls that convey themselves through their music. If our lives were under a microscope, I'm quite sure we would not pass the test either. Leave him be and let him do what he does best...provide us with great entertainment, lyrics and music.

  • i love this song =)

  • John Mayer, vc é foda cara, sem palavras, minha maior inspiração, meu idolo!!!

  • I llluuuv the song, I was travelling in a train looking through out the window watching the landscape view... oohh so nice...

  • lol this was obviously before his omjm was created for him

  • I remember when he was a nerd and a nicer guy..

  • what does he mean at the start "trying out for the part of scarlet"?

  • can anyone find me an instrumental to this song?!!!!!!!

  • @mariahphilmrazem You could learn guitar.. haha :)

  • how to make the video repeat on itself,i dont want to "violate" the law by downloading this nice song.

  • He's not an a-hole, just a kid growing up who has said some dumb things. Not anything uncommon for a young talented musician. I met him personally 5 years ago and he was really cool and down to earth. I still remember what he said to me-- if you want to sleep with LOTS (and I do mean lots) of women, (with an only half-joking smile) be single like me." I applaud his honesty and candor. It's not for anyone else to judge, he's not married for a reason. Oh, and he's simply epic on the strat..

  • @imprezzi agree. i think john is a good guy...search how hes old days...so smart

  • he's such a talented guy, why is he still such an asshole? Incredible...

  • @izzy2607 i havent seen any signs of him being an asshole. the media wants to make everyone look like fools though. he's actually a pretty humble and intelligent guy :)

  • is this video from the 90's?

  • @alanpomcfly nope...

  • Age is he here?

  • beautiful

  • his voice makes my heart beat faster.

  • @DavidCookFan146 im inlove with this man..so intelligent,so simple...

  • a real artist!!!!

  • How old was he here?

  • FUCK!!!! best artist ever...

  • My favorite John Mayer song!!!!!

  • im pretty sure the bass player is playing a squier. niiiice haha.

  • 10 years and still awesome. awesome =)

  • i loved this album in highschool. he lived in atlanta and wasn't on the radio or tv or anything yet, but had a following. his personal life is what it is, but the guy is amazingly talented.

  • just a pop singer, we shouldnt take it serioulsy

  • @RafaelJackmout go back and see wait until tomorrow in where the light is, and then say hes "just a pop singer".

  • @RafaelJackmout His music might be popular, but I don't think this can classify as pure pop. Seeing that's usually crappy and this is gold.

  • @Gregospinky Maybe "deeper" isn't the word... I don't know. He's become deeper to me though I guess because he seems to be figuring himself out in a way that I completely relate to. I just feel like I haven't gotten to the part of becoming a bitch/slut whereas he has found where he wants to be: being a douche.

  • hes so young here. can tell how muchs hes grown and matured over the years

  • hahaha he wasn't the best singer back then

  • Watch my videos for John Mayer covers!! :)

  • Time..Bring us back the old John Mayer..plss..

  • he made funny faces as he sang even back then.

  • Hahaha he still had his crazy facial expressions back then.

  • Any know what guitar he is playing on this version?

  • @Antongmusic I think it's a Matin, don't hold me to that

  • @MrKramerstein You're correct. When it comes to acoustic guitars, John exclusively plays Martins.

  • @Antongmusic It's a Martin, obviously, but I think it's the Dave Matthews signature he used to play a bunch in those days.

  • Not the Dave model. The Dave model has all of Dave's hand drawn inlay on it. I think it's an OM-21

  • Comment removed

  • @sfdix2 Its actually an Eric Clapton signature Martin. You can tell because the 24th fret right next to the mouth of the guitar is Eric Clapton's signature.

  • @mattrca no its a martin dave matthews dmb, the eric clapton madel is a ooo body size and that guitar is a dreadnought.

  • @musicdude195 I thought his signature was with Taylor.

  • @EddieVedder13 Dave matthews is with taylor now but back in the late 90's he endorsed Martin and he still plays his signature martin sometimes when he does the acoustic tim reynolds shows, John owns one of his signature martins and played it alot back in the room for squares era.

  • I miss these kinds of songs too...still love u John~!

  • I miss when he used to make this kind of music!

  • I would totally merry him if he would sing me to sleep! He has one of the greatest voices ever, and the man can write a song. =)

  • i remember seeing this video when i was still in high school. i saw it on tv. everything about this guy has changed.

  • i really love his voice (:

  • He's playing the part of Scarlet; not himself. "Not Myself". Get it?

  • i love it ♥

  • did anyone get the joke "I'm trying out for the part of scarlet" and care to explain it to me? :)

    On the song itself, I'm addicted to John's music for almost two years now, he never ceases to amaze me... haven't heard many others who can pull off guitar&vocals so amazingly....

  • There's no one better

  • Love it!!!

  • awesome ya.......... i love him very much :** imean his songsss, touched.. geniussss

  • Adoroo!!!

  • Greatest musician ever! he is my idol :)

  • Greatest musician ever! he is my idol :)

  • talented and handsome

  • he is amazing :) what girl wouldn't stay with him??

  • @AndyHurleysChicklet7

    A lesbian? lol

  • @AndyHurleysChicklet7 At lot of women -- he's done some REALLY absurd hollywood type crap to women. He's probably a jerk in real life like most hugely paid stars. That doesn't mean his albums aren't polished and great, though. You see only one side of it :(

  • @goodbrushwork Yeah and you see the other side? Nah I don't think you know what you're talking about. You don't know John Mayer.

  • @ztbsk8er yeah well it think its important NOT to idolize him and see him as a perfect human being just cause his music is so unbelivably good, which it really is. i am a huge fan, but its important to stay subjective to his actions outside of his music.

  • i love this song

  • jhon mayer doesnt have any swagger at all..lol

  • This song is beatiful

  • Nice music to relax to when youve had a day.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my gawdd. They both look so young. Where's Dela these days eh? I love this era of music.

  • i dnt really like his hairstyle like that ! curly 1 is the best ! thumbs up ?=)

  • so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the best

  • If i know an artist like John Mayer???

    - It's IMPOSSIBLE to find an artist like John Mayer...Impossible...

  • how old is he here? i absolutely love this video, i watch it whenever i get nostalgic for old school john..which is quite often.

  • @PinkAndGreenTogether .. yea sometimes me too!

  • this isnt k9 instructor...im chris, using is comp, and let me just say..john mayer is the reason im bi! i love him so much!!! aint he just cute with his many different hairstyles?

  • This song....wow

  • I love this song. It reminds me of me. I tend to lose myself. I really feel lost sometimes. My husband is so paticent with me. I love him for that.

  • "Would you want me when I'm not myself? Wait it out while I'm someone else."

  • Suppose I said...............

  • Whats so crazy about his hair.......

    so... its long? wtf

  • haha, i love the way david plays the bass in the background :D

  • This is JBTV right? In Chicago?

  • awesome... way back 2002...

  • inlove with john mayer...;)

  • Ha ha! He's playing the Dave Matthews signature guitar!  Closet fan.... I knew it!

  • He's not a closet fan.. He's often said he wouldn't have started making music if it wasn't for Dave Matthews. He covers Lover Lay Down. And he has among other things called Under the Table and Dreaming a 'melodic tour de force'.

  • lol its pretty obvious he is a fan he sings just like him. on purpose.

  • ''where do you want me when am not myself '' :))) love the song adore him .!!!

  • *would* you want me when im not myself? haha

  • Mayer <3

  • How old is that vid?

  • my guess is prob. 2000 or 2001 or 1999

  • its summer 2001, right before room for squares

  • sik enom ker arek iki...

  • does anyone know the chords in the chorus?

  • As much as i love John, he has changed since he started out...music is bette, deeper, and more mature, but his actual self...idk i think dating all those hotties went to his head...

  • I dunno about that. The new stuff has some great blues and jazz influence and hes still talented as hell. I enjoy the earlier stuff more as well, but it's all very good. Btw...how do you know which is more "his actual self". I'm not trying to be a dick, but you don't know him and who is actual self is. Plus I'd say the messages are fairly on par with the old stuff still. I'm sorry, I just don't get this comment

  • How come everyone says that. Like I am not criticizing you for your comment I just really want to know why everyone says he is a douche. Where did you here that or like why do you think that. Cause i have never really got that vibe from him in interviews or anything. Just curious.

  • He charges 10$ per picture. Hows that for your curiosity.

  • yea where do you get off charging that much for a picture????

  • that was a joke dumbass, he doesnt do that regularly, he just likes screwing with the public.

  • Dude he's flat out said "I'm kind of a duich bag" Lol. I love John I think he's one of the most soulful singers and guitar players around anymore and personally I don't think he's a duiche but thats what He's said. He's great either way and I think his old stuff is better in these later years because if you go back and look at his live vids from around 04 his voice sounds like shit! But his "where the light is" concert was nothing short of AMAZING! Just sayin'

  • he got singing lessons before "Continium" as far as I know.

  • He might have but listen to him play some of the stuff live a year or two ago and then listen to Where the Light is and there's a huge difference! In the others its almost like he's afraid of his voice but in these he's amazing... Thats just my opinion...

  • @emperorkrunchy Continuum and no

  • @JeevesMorris1 idk if u see on his guitar he has a capo

  • @fro164 Aaaaaaannnnnnnnndddd... What exactly does that have to do with my comment?

  • @JeevesMorris1 Amen to that......where the light is showcases his style, soul and alot of the influences that make this guy tick. Where The Light Is gets steady play in my ride. As far as a douche.......check out "john mayer has a tv show". it's old, but funny. His voice still isn't great but he get every last drop of goodness out of it that he can. Big John Mayer fan and I agree and thumbs up and etc, etc.....

  • @JeevesMorris1 dude btw you spelled douche wrong

  • @musicdude195 Yes I know.

  • @JeevesMorris1  wtf

  • this song is my flavor of the week- i've listened to it at least 20 times today!

  • he is a very versatile guitarist he is good playing blues..

  • haha YOUNG:D

  • HAHA why feorgis, thats hilarious :P

  • this song is so beautiful!

  • David's hair makes him look like Trevor from trailer park boys :P lol, but great video anyways

  • He is really overtalented! It's so unfair :P But i'm gonna stay positive, i'm only 16, and played guitar for 2,5 years, maybe i can become as good :) He was 24 or something when he released Room For Squares?? Definetly have time to become as good :P But he will forever be the best :P

  • have you treid learning any of his songs

    why feorgis is a good 1 to start with its esy

  • Why Feorgis? Why Georgia?

  • Comment removed

  • @oliverandm play for 4 hours a day with direction and lessons from a bad ass and i think youll deff get it

  • @oliverandm im now almost 24 and wish i had my time again to focus more on my guitar... dont waste the time youve got bro, put the effort in now and youll be set. i might be good when im 50 at this rate...

  • @oliverandm it's possible unless it isn't. you'll eventually know what i mean.

  • @oliverandm he was 21 and signed with columbia on his 22nd birthday

  • @ansem143

    Ah okay :) Well overall i wont compared myself to Mayer, but i'd like to know that the game has only JUST started seing as i'm 21 in a 4 years and that i know from my brother, a musicians career can really suddenly take off - with rocket haste! So i'm practicing, creating, evolving :)

  • @oliverandm Put that time in! Practice with a purpose, and find you a good teacher if you need it! I believe you can do anything if you are hungry enough for it! People looked at Michael Jordan and marveled at his talent, but not once asked, how many time do you shoot the ball at the goal in practice. 500 times in practice

  • If you got the passion for playing and writing music, nothing can stop you.

  • @oliverandm You americans are lucky to have talented musicians in your mainstream media. (and the same applies in Britain). In other countries, such as Spain, 99% of music on the radio and TV is shit.

  • @oliverandm You can be better than him... well i'll be :D

  • @oliverandm Yeah I'm 18 and been playing acoustic guitar a year and a bit and am optimistic that given time I can become as good as John. It just requires practice and a strong mentality.

  • @spiffcorgi but he's always playing so by the time you think you're that good he'll be even better. took him many years.

  • @imdave1990 What I'm saying is that by the time I'm 24 I'll probably be as good as he was when he was that age. :) I'm only 18

  • His first guitar? He definitely got that shit for his thirteenth birthday.

    Learn your shit, lol.

  • he may have gotten his very first guitar at 13 but he got his frist "real guitar" in his words after saving the money he saved working in the garage. owned haha

  • john mayer is an inspiration, he left school and worked in a petrol garage to raise money for his first guitar. his parents didn't really take his music seriously but he did and look at him now!

  • Left school? He graduated Highschool....he however didnt graduate from berklee. learned what he needed then left and made it on his own.

  • Sorry. by 'left school', i actually meant that he left high school (at the end of it, having graduated) and then didn't continue on to any forms of higher education!

    Bought himself his first guitar aged 18 having saved up the money.

  • lol he said he bought his first *real* guitar. Which he means his SRV signiture model. He ment a guitar that could be used for actually playing live and sounding good.

  • @snoozeyoulose19 he attended berklee college of music...

  • my new hero

  • he's so cute here..... i love him <3 soo talented

  • who is scarlet?

  • awesome song though, :)

  • The Richard Marx thing was a joke.

  • He writes some of them.. but i know Richard Marks helps too

  • does he write his own lyrics?? :)

  • why would anybody give me athumbs down? xD sry for asking

  • yes dumbass

  • you're the dumbass ;)

  • Does anyone know what kind of martin that is?

  • It's for sure a Dreadnought of some sort. It's a signature model (there's a signature on the 20th fret). It looks loosely based off of a HD-28 except the one he's using has butterbean tuning keys. He has a couple of his own Signature Model Martins but they're both OM models.

  • they werent out when this video came out

  • its a dave matthews signature model martin

  • No, it's not a Dave Matthews Sig. Model. His has a wedge of some kind of African wood in the headstock. This guitar in the video clearly does not have that.

  • ops. Yes, it is a Dave Matthews. From the reflection of the lights I didn't see the contrast of wood in the headstock. It's a Martin DM3MD.

  • thank you so much for this video i cant get enough of old john. in this vid he looks like he does in the room for squares booklet same haircut and everything haha

  • This song is so great. The melody compliments the lyrics perfectly.

    I've got to learn this song soon. Too good.

  • u can tell his voise i kind of raspy and cant quite hit the high notes yet. but soon he will.

  • aahahah he alredy can

  • sheesh jm look like hes 18. wow is he young but he is still a good singer but his life is kind of screwed up now.

  • It looks like he's using the Eric Claption signature acoustic. Not for certain.

  • I can't believe he did a cover of Radiohead.

  • what song did he do?
