John Mayer - Stop This Train - Live @ Berklee

[xzHaV0Czx]

yeeaahhh bustin out some simon and garfunkle at the end lol

[epicalice]

there's only one JM.

[riffmeister76]

wow. great stuff

[droid740]

few people will admit that the size of your hands/length of your fingers is a huge part of being good at the guitar. But if being tall helps in basketball, then it has to matter with guitar.

[superwifey]

I love everything about this song. I love John's acoustic sound, whistling, range of voice, such personal lyrics that most everyone can personally relate to as well. Beautiful!

[amangonecrazy]

3:09, hpw the hell odes he do that. is his hands just big or what

[Haslamrocks]

hey i uploaded my cover of this song so check it out! feedback is much welcomed! have great days

[dr05guitar]

it's amazing to me how much you can do with what looks like such simple hand motion on guitar, guess it's just technique and practice

[Toerix]

okay you are partly right. but look at that picture at 3:09. If somebody does not have big enough hands, cannot grow another ones, you know. so i am really-really upset too, coz i never will be able to play that song exactly the same way, coz that hand motion is impossible to do to me too.

[dr05guitar]

well you just have to do what you can, you know, with what you have...in my comment however, i was mainly referring to the right hand technique of fingerstyle with slap that he does

[Toerix]

oh okay then :) i wouldn't say it's easy, but yeah it's all about practice and time.

[dr05guitar]

yep :)

[mikeymac1529]

@dr05guitar I'm not trying to be a jerk or start a fight but I hope you know....this song is not simple to play....at all hahaha. It does take a lot of practice. The really hard part is the plucking and strumming, not necessarily the chords.

[dr05guitar]

@mikeymac1529 just goes to show how hard communicating online is haha....notice I didn't say that what he's playing is simple at all, just that it looks simple. The real reason is because when a pro does something, they make it look easy.

[mikeymac1529]

@dr05guitar Now I gotcha my mistake hahaha. But your absolutely right John Mayer is amazing he makes everything look so easy for him when it would take the longest time for others. He is the best!

[dr05guitar]

@mikeymac1529 haha no worries...

[minhdiszles]

@mikeymac1529 it's not really that difficult after you learn the pick n' flick. but like JM said earlier in the clinic, he's just the master of "duh". it's incredible how good music can come from such simple things but the question is, how do you come up with it in the first place......

[ams914]

@dr05guitar There is nothing simple about what he is playing... actually hahah

[dr05guitar]

@ams914 you're right, and that's why I didn't say it was hahaha

[thomasmiller]

wow, that's Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" at the end!

[DannyWrigley]

Not his best performance

[likeROCKSTAR]

I WAS THERE :)

this is great quality, btw.

[nateguitarsoccer]

great song. i guess it could seem similar in some parts if you listen to them separately. but no doubt JM has some great originals

[Clement8617]

y hate him? i love his voice... it's so sexy n nice 2 listen 2.

[Jdplaya47]

....stop watching john mayer videos if you hate him so much

[gbluez]

ya seriously its pretty sad you keep going to all his vids to post hater comments.

If you hate him so much, quit fukin wastin your time tryin to find his vid. You are the lookin like a douchebag.

What is the score?

obviously john's winnin.

haha

JOHN MAYER FTW

[gbluez]

What did john mayer do to you?

are you his crazy ex or something?

[mtskier05]

[ClashRocker66]

Berklee Represent. I was totally there.

[carolzinha43]

orbit18

sorry i marked you as a spam instead of "reply" =/

so, i guess he said "Thank you very much"

as he always says at the end of a song!

:)

[orbit18]

what did he say at the end?

[conormang]

Great videos, man. Did you record "Who Did You Think I Was"???

[mattclear]

I did. I need to upload it.

[mmrecordinginc]

great video .... i was there today and recorded 80 minutes of the clinic with my mini Disc recorder ... i got a great stereo recording to add to this video =) rock on !

[sideburnsbob]

I was there - second row - any chance we can get a hold of the recording?

[mattclear]

I'd love to have that.

[bigski432]

yeah I would love to have a copy of it as a well, is there any chance we could.

[davidsafc]

Would be amazing if you could upload that somewhere
