  • whats the name of the second song he played?

  • We need to stop comparing god to John! I mean he's good, but he is no John Mayer. :/

  • @hardikbhatia You're so original!!!

  • Oh My God...So impressive!!!

  • What guitar is he using?

  • @LasseHeideDanielsen Gibson L-5

  • @shikurno Thanks!

  • @LasseHeideDanielsen

    Gibson L-5

  • what loop station is he using?

  • @MrJackWrightable Pretty sure it's the Line 6 DL4

  • @theyflykites thanks man ill look into that.

  • i hate watching these videos at 2 am at night, cause it makes me get out of bed and play guitar for another 2 or 3 hours :)

  • did he steal power from the hollywood sign or is there an army of john mayer signature hampsters running on generator wheels?

  • For a guy who has such a great sense of time his foot-tapping is all over the place

  • 2:55 I'am a badass and I know it

  • what model is this guitar?

  • @aaronsheah911 That's a Gibson L5 in Blonde.

  • @DamianMunozMusic Just a slight correction: the color is Natural. Although blonde is close, the GC website has it listed as Natural.

  • @timijai22 You are correct, my mistake.

  • @aaronsheah911 If u had payed attention at 1:18 you'd notice it's ingraved in the guitar....

  • Farhan says jewish

  • Shameer Says Hi

  • with those pedals, i bet he could create magic and beat Merlin.

  • Fuck mayer, does anyone know how to get to that location?

  • @chinosofer Go to LA, look at the hollywood sign, look left, head to the hill?

    I guess it's that simple, though I've never been to LA...

  • i want that guitar

  • You Know

  • Comment removed

  • @lerlo pretty sure he meant the feel of the night. I can imagine being in that kind of place with the instrument in your hands, its inspirational and you feel like you can do something with it. Would it have made a difference to you had page, gilmour, or keith richards had said it? Or would they be douches also?

  • @sr1129 they will NEVER say it as douchie as him. Come on seriously, normal people will put it the way you did. " The feel of the night was awesome, I was totally over comed by the atmosphere.... blah blah" WTF is " I feel the night was really authentic, I feel that my music is a lot more necessary."

  • @lerlo haters gonna hate...at the end of the day, you seem to have come back to this video a second time even though you think mayer is a douche...every amazing artist is not normal...and thats what separates them from the rest...if you want normal, go elsewhere...

  • @zerok000 Lol, i came back to show a few of my friends what he said. Sorry I just cant get over it. Its the most pretentious thing Ive EVER heard!

  • @lerlo to a lot of his fans, his music truly is necesssary. ever think maybe it took that night for him to feel that his music really is that important to so many people? yeah he's famous, but that doesn't mean playing in front of that many people doesn't seriously affect him. i think he's coming from a genuine place. not a douchey one.

  • someone please give me a two rock and a dl4... and a taxi to mullholland drive!!!

  • wait is this in the DVD?

  • @SkirtSoPlain it's at the beginning. One of the best live DVD's i've ever seen! Beautiful!

  • At 2:55

    He impressed himself ahahah

  • @ddavidd1987 i think he messed up. 

  • LOL all you need is a portable generator/large battery packs. You guys make it sound like it's witchcraft for him to play guitar outdoors.

  • i wonder how long that extension cord had to be.....

  • my heart jus did a backflip wen his foot hit the pedal and the guitar sound came out

  • Is that a 2x12 Two Rock Cab??

  • @peteandrews2010 it could be, otherwise it is an Alessandro custom cabinet which is what he tours with all the time.

  • Could somebody please tell me (like an address for google maps) where this is at? I'd really appreciate it

  • @erikgee123 he's not sitting there anymore, dude.. relax..

    lol

  • @OMERTA011 Hahah I just like the view that's all

  • @erikgee123 I'm just kidding.. ;)

  • I watched the DVD not 100% because I was like: hmmmm don't know all these songs, but I let the DVD on while doing the dishes and I was like..... damn! All these songs are great

  • I wonder where the power supply is plugged in... See the trouble with playing electric guitar outside is you need a power source lol

  • thanks. other thing... what guitar?

  • @puntzpatz007 he's playing a Gibson L5. in my opinion THE king of jazz guitars. mad expensive though. can run u up to $10,000

  • what's the loop station he's using?

  • @puntzpatz007 a Line 6 DL4

  • @puntzpatz007 line6 dl4

  • the im gona find another you bit... is awesome.

  • love how he makes those 2 loops with such ease, damn hes good...

  • awesome! but how the hell did he get electric up there??

  • Comment removed

  • and that's how he met your mother...

  • and that's how you make a baby

  • i want that guitar sooo bad....

  • man im 100% straight but i would totally do him

  • why so hot

  • What kinds of things do you need to learn as a guitarist to be able to play this sort of style?

  • @ANorthernParadise Blues and jazz scales, phrasing. Listen to as much blues as you can. 

  • @Blackbeltjawa Awesome. Thank you! I appreciate the advice :D

  • @ANorthernParadise blackbeltjawa gave you some great advice but another thing to do is to transpose music by ear. And contrary to what most people would say i would NOT write it down because then you really learn it. So heck right now try and figure out some of the licks he's playing in this song.

  • @ANorthernParadise To be able to play like Mayer, you have to be one of the top 5 greatest guitarists of all time. So you need to be either Mayer, Clapton, BB King, Hendrix, or Page.

  • @SkirtSoPlain take page out and put stevie ray vaughan in.. and you have a valid point my good man!

  • spizdi u kurac

  • look at all the colors in the sky..

  • @jeropage95 That's called smog!

  • ive always liked his playing better on the gibson L5

  • I have a 3disc pack of J Mayer that i bought, and the front of the pack is a photography of this video, with that amp, guitar and that Hollywood background. It's really beautiful, and now i know where does it come from.

  • that pedal is amazing!  anyone know the exact name?

  • @carsguitars92 it's obviously a line6 dl4.. and a boss tuner next to it

  • @carsguitars92 from what i can see its a line 6 so you can start from there :P

  • It's been 4ish years since this dvd came out and with all the times ive watched it, ive never noticed the guy walking in the background @1:29.

  • I could probably listen to john mayer be contemplative while playing guitar all day.

  • his music gets better evry time he plays it ;)

  • God, December sun is just the best. Summer sun is too hot, december sun is perfect in every way. mmm.

  • I love to see his face when he's playing the guitar... he feels what he's doing <3

  • what kind of guitar is he using? gibson.....?

  • @bennamenify Gibson L5. Think it's like an '51 model with p-90 pickups (technically that would make the guitar a L-5CES, but basically an L5). can't tell exactly.

  • It also has some flat-wound strings on there, which akes it sound even better.

  • @bennamenify 1977 Gibson L5

  • what two rock is he using?

  • the guys in 1:42 must been like, who the hell is that idiot sittin there playing guitar with no one else arou- OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!

  • @kizz4000 it's probably Steve Jordan looking for his drum-kit

  • The tone on that guitar is streets ahead...

  • lol i would love to play guitar where he's at right now

  • thank!

    

  • What did john use under his right foot ?

  • @ericbcs: It's a loop station. To record a track and then play over it.

  • turn that amp against the city and turn up the volume.. and the pussy will come running at 100km/h!!

  • the line 6 sucks his tone

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever written played in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

  • i could sit there all day with that guitar and that two rock haha

  • @garbear2321 That two rock's tone is soooooo tasty.

  • I'm not gay, but Johnn Mayer is the only man who makes me think about it.

  • @driftingboyy if you want to be gay then be.... its the second video ive seen you comment that... if you have such a strong desire to be gay then go ahead

  • @driftingboyy hahaha! my cousin and me say that all the time! lmao

  • what guitar does he use in this video?

  • @asharfina4186 Gibson Custom L5 Hollow Body

  • I dont understand him!

    i dont hear any single of his songs as "pop"..

    i dont get it..

  • @FredeGredde pop = popular is what he means.

  • @FredeGredde well i guess you could say 'waiting on the world to change' is pop? just my opinion though...

  • please tell me what the two pedals which he used at 0:13 are

    thanks a lot: )

  • @c199208 LINE6 DL4 Delay (green) and Boss TU-2 or TU-3 Chromatic Tuner (white).

  • @c199208 He's only using one pedal. :P. One's a Line 6 DL4 and one's a BOSS Chromatic Tuner.

  • I played the gonna find another you part for my audition to Berklee and got in!

  • @OwensMusic1 congrats man

  • @OwensMusic1 All seriousness you can just play a cover of a song for the Berklee audition??

  • That must feel so good, under a beautifull sunset on a hill like that just playing guitar.

  • @Moshgfx THAT * guitar ;)

  • if that was britain a load of chavs would come along and trash his gear n nick his wallet

  • hairs on the back of my neck are standing!

  • I'm in love with this song! :)

  • OMG !!

  • that tone of guitar, i wish i could find it on my les paul

  • @jeremymanao

    its a hollow body played through a two rock dude... pretty specific sound combo. get a gretsch and you might get close if you play out of an older amp like a 70's fender reverb or something of that nature. just my opinion but I feel like the les paul pick-ups are too high output to sound as light and natural as john's set-up here.

  • @jeremymanao If you turn the tone down and play on your neck pick-up, you'll be able to come close.

  • i love yooou *-------------* sz

  • I don't understand why this video only has 136,681 views

  • sir john mayer.

  • it's good to feel necessary..! 

  • L5

    What a guitar.. beautiful sound

  • what guitar is he playing??

    

  • @LloydSteffan That, my friend, is a Gibson L5-CES. Don't bother asking how much it is....

  • @phyraxis wow... sounds so good though!! :'(

  • For me, John Mayer, is the only artist, who has not made a track that i did not like. Sure i like other artists, but all of them, has made bad music as well.. i guess, thats just not possible, being as good as Mayer !

  • stop talking! we wanna hear you sing!

  • when im in LA this summer im gonna go sit on that hill and listen to this song

  • @rockthered21 So, did you do it? ;)

  • @yoorheinez yes :) i went in august and it took me forever to find the exact spot lol but its so beautiful in person, you can see almost all of LA

  • Comment removed

  • i have to acknowledge the fact that Mr. Mayer here is my favorite musical artist. I love absolutely all his music. He is a GREAT guitarist.absolutely. But then there are some moments where hes playing where the combination of notes sound so sweet it hits me on a level that i dont even know. almost like its intimate and euphoric. nearly sending me into a trance because it sounds so freaking good to my ears. That is the best part about his playing.

  • @southpawvike17 I feel the exact same way!

  • pure soul man  listen too kulu change of heart on youtube

  • i literally find myself hating this guy, for the exact same reasons that i love him (no homo)

  • did anybody else notice the two randoms in the background from 1:29-1:45

  • 00.47-00.57 is the most genius collection of notes ever put down

  • good jazz and blues player.

  • man john mayer is the bomb! plus he's got the hair!!!

  • bend at 2:32 made me jizz in my pants...

  • My hands were hurting

    My ears were hurting

    My ass was hurting (because he can obviously fuck himself)

  • John should make a whole record in this style, slow blues instrumental versions of his previous work.

  • i bet his hands smell of pussy and steel strings

  • @bobski9595 best comment on a john mayer video xD

  • @CabbatheHot :D

  • Comment removed

  • jooooooooooooooohn lovely mayer<3

  • Comment removed

  • @puchalaka I think your original idea is right.... the dl4 is the only one that really resembles it..... if your looking to buy one go with the boss rc2... its a third of the cost and pretty simple to use....

  • random ass guys in the background at 1:35. never noticed that before. oh hai!

  • lol at the camerman for zooming in wen the people in the back show up

  • Got halfway through this, and though, fuck, i could be watching this in 1080p!

  • My first impression of this guy is a douche.

  • 4 people are jewel ....(Y)?

  • @heavycrashdr Thanks Man! Ill try ;)hahah
