John Mayer - Waiting on the World to Change (Acoustic)

[ScoversMe]

He looks somewhat like Heath Ledger in "10things I hate about you" in this video

[PeterdasBlatt]

such a great text

[homeroom101]

that last chord just ended it so perfectly



[KronSnatchels]

I'm pretty sure Marty Schwartz has a how to video with open D and G chords and also the way John plays it with barre chords.

[SuperDukuman]

Brings back memories

[cheekyyshizz]

marry me?

[CriticThe95]

[LuisaMpreta]

Wonderful John

[MrDharampaaji]

Best 240p video ever!

[TheKatyLady1]

@MrDharampaaji Actually best video ever :)

[Antoniolosoy]

D, Bm, G.... is amazing all he can do with just 3 chords

[kbui97]

@Antoniolosoy There's also an A :-)

[nannerpuss1996]

vocal monotony is not his thing, in a good way, very good way

also ni like how he sings his own back up vocals

[kbui97]

@nannerpuss1996 Yes. something about him singing the back up vocals amuses me for some reason haha.

[mendez09078208888]

but i'm not sure that i have the complet chords hehehe lol

[mendez09078208888]

good for me i have a tabs for this

[Antoniolosoy]

@mendez09078208888

use your ear, tabs are usually wrong

[snoookie456]

@Antoniolosoy so fuckin true, this is probably the first comment I ever saw on youtube dissing tabs...

Now I know there's hope! XD

[eminemhasvdyahoo]

pretty good

[TheKokokiss]

why did he have to say something racist? Such a great artist.

[ztbsk8er]

@TheKokokiss Because he is human. Everyone says something stupid every now and then and Mayer is no exception. He really isn't racist either, he has at least as many black musicians in his band as white musicians.

[TheKokokiss]

@ztbsk8er Don't get me wrong. I think he is amazing.

[123rebollo]

that is professional person!

[captainpoe1]

pretty good

me and my band have been playing it

[captainpoe1]

[artheodoor]

[kingsolomon671]

[Shaq76Dezzy]

How could anyone could dislike this song

[rileyaw03]

"...when they own the information, they can bend it all they want..." How true is that?

[8wotruthe]

his vocals in this song kinda remind me of james brown .Really soulfulll!!!

[ingridp23]

[bramzel95]

[Realist201]

Love the sound. I hope the guitar is 18+

[Mistermoller]

i would kill for the specific tabs!



[kimberly1450]

Mayer's music is hypnotic for the soul.

[ToxinalX]

A message to The Goverment:

Don't push it any further.

9/11 was 10 years ago.

Despite the talk of peace - despite the winning of a war - despite the winning of a peace price : There is STILL war. Innocent bodies are destroyed.

We don't want you to print more money, because you don't spend it right.

We don't need "naked scanning". We don't need a "demographics unit". We don't need traceable ID cards. We don't need any ROBOCOPS patrolling the streets.

Don't push it any further.

Ron Paul 2012

[bolaji321]

@ToxinalX watch?v=xggDrHs_RV4&feature=ch­annel_video_title

[OttoAndMusic]

I love this song so much. Mayer has so much emotion in his licks. Check out my page for some sweet acoustic originals!

[j4s0nb0ll3s]

[frenchexperience]

@j4s0nb0ll3s sorry buddy but was she shagging you or an ethereal version of Meyer?

[olwa1000]

[Rickyyy001]

Dude he went somewhere else in that solo. =)



[gnarlydragon]

john mayer video fights



[Duffman12241113810]

If we want to change the world then what are we waiting for? I say we start changing the world by loving our neighbors as we love our self. If you have a better suggestion I would love to hear it.

As for people dying for God, I'm assuming you're including the crusades in that statement. The crusades were not a holy war. But rather a war waged for money by the roman catholic church. More people have died for money then any other reason. But you can blame God if you want.

[DontReadThisUsername]

@Duffman12241113810 On a catastrophe. Id say that learning to love each other be a good start. But in my opinion a catastrophe has to occur to bring us together. It definitely wont be a quick thing either. I think it starts with the collapse of the US dollar in the near future causing profound effects on the entire world and the mass realization that today's leaders don't give a shit about the population. Time will pass, violence will occur, but one day we will realize that we're all the same...

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername

I hope you're wrong but I get what you're saying.

[M3taLLuX]

@DontReadThisUsername I guess the whole world is full of catastrophe.. palestine Iraq Pakestan they're all being attacked every day.. And I don't see why when they hit back they call it terrorism.. anyway..

[DontReadThisUsername]

@M3taLLuX I do agree with you there. Terrorism is a term created by the leaders of this country to infect the country with fear and hatred, that way they can justify killing people in the middle east.

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername Read up on your history if you want the true fact about what Islam is attempting to do in this world. The talking heads of the media won't tell you anything that doesn't help them sell add time.

[RoKr93]

@Duffman12241113810 i don't blame god at all. but it's clear that humans can't handle a concept like religion without starting wars and killing people over what is intended to be something that uplifts. it's sad. but that's why i don't subscribe to a religion, though i do believe there is a god somewhere.

i have a tremendous amount of respect for those who do live according to the REAL morals of their faith.

[M3taLLuX]

@DontReadThisUsername So you don't believe in god?? so who the hell created you..

[DontReadThisUsername]

@M3taLLuX No "god" created me or anyone else definitely not out of a rib and some mud. If you believe theres an invisible man living in the clouds keeping watch on the thoughts and actions of the nearly SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE on this planet then there is something wrong with you. Thats a form of mental illness. If you believe that he loves everyone on this planet why are then tens of thousands of children under the age of 5 dying from starvation in Somalia RIGHT NOW? I guess he REALLY loves them

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername People are starving because of other people. The world has been messed up by us, not God.

God gave us free will. What we choose to do with it is our fault. Everyone has sinned in the world. The wages of sin is death. That death leads to eternal damnation. However God has shown his love towards us in allowing his son to die for us on the cross. Now instead of going to the hell we deserve we can go to heaven by trusting Jesus Christ as our savior.

[DontReadThisUsername]

@Duffman12241113810 So people can control the drought in Somalia? If he loves us, why is there an innocent 4 year old boy that ways 25 pounds with a swollen stomach suffering day to day? There is no god. The god you worship sounds like a psychopath to me. Religion was created to falsely explain questions that couldn't have been answered in those times.They made up stories and rules and morals to live by to control the population. If you didn't live by them you were killed.

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername First God does not equal religion.

Second If you don't believe in God then why do you even care that a child is starving in Somalia due to "drought" (That's a lie by the way). If there is no God then that means that nature is simply taken it's course. The fact that you do care shows that you know something is wrong with this world. What's wrong is our separation from God. We choose to sin and therefore have fallen short of God's perfect standard.

[DontReadThisUsername]

@Duffman12241113810 1st) how is that a lie in any way? and yes I do realize the corrupt leaders of the area are keeping help from the people in need. 2nd) just because I'm not religious doesn't mean I don't have morals. We both obviously know the world is screwed up but we have polar opposite views on the reasons why. So sit back, watch the freakshow, and listen to music.

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername I'm not doubting you have morals I'm just asking you to examine where you got them from.

[Duffman12241113810]

Respond to this video... As for Somalia, yes there is a drought. But there are always droughts somewhere in the world. The reason the people are dying in Somalia is because certain people of a certain peaceful and tolerant religion are withholding food for political reasons. So no people can't control drought, but they can control what they do during one. It's fine to insult people as long as you know your facts, otherwise you kind of look silly.

[DontReadThisUsername]

@Duffman12241113810 2) But yes, this world has been fucked to death by the human race. Take America for example. It used to be a prestine paradise when it's founders stole it from the natives. Centuries later, it's a coast to coast shopping mall. Disgusting.

[Duffman12241113810]

@DontReadThisUsername And if the story ended there you would be right, the God I worship would be a psychopath. But instead he sent us Jesus to rescue us from our sin. There is evil in the world becuase of man kind and we are to broken to fix it. But with the strength of God we can save those 4 year old boys. With the strength of God we can change the world.

[INS1GHTT]

best version of this song.

[WELEDEHWOLVES7]

Amazing Job !! Keep It Up :)

[thekilltime2111]

I can not find the offical video clip on my mobil!!!

Nice song by the way!!!

Goood luck with your carreer!!!

[claratabales15]

I love him! ♥

when he plays the guitar it sounds like if in the room were 2 or 3 guitars more.

[noebalt182]

cool



[Qwerty10040]

thumbs up if you like his voice better in the music video

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

Love the irony! Listening to this song and reading name calling comments proves that we are still waiting on the world to change.

[pubuman]

@FLIGHTCOMPANY FUCK YOU ASSBAG!

[VICJR98]

@pubuman Assbag? haha and I thought I could mix insults well! Kinda funny man

[gunit1467]

[xtoxiccupcakes]

My god this is amazing

[Yamaha27Style]

that's one of the worst songs made by JM (in my opinion ofc) - but it's still miles away from a possible dislike... that dude cant produce any bad I guess

[MrRloya22]

86 people already think the world has changed.

[goodride2004]

86 people thought it was the download button

[planetlychee]

I keep seeing Heath Ledger in John in this video. Maybe it's the hair...? hmmm his ghost lives on in others! hahaha

[Liscome]

86 people love solo's



[RAOclisto]

people dislike this only cuz the Q is very bad....coz this is so good!!

[California0aura]

such a great rendition

[BrechjeG]

his voice is beautiful! and @hoykarin I'm a fan of bieber too, so don't say stupid things like that haha

[hoykarin]

Im sure all those who disliked it are fans of Bieber.

[mcduffels]

@hoykarin such a generic response...

[mZuAsCiHcS]

does anyone know the tabs for this song

[MrAndrey1101]

@mZuAsCiHcS congratulations on being the only comment that is music related. the rest should eat their hats... but no... no idea where the tabs are. good luck in your search good sir.

[mZuAsCiHcS]

@MrAndrey1101 thanks man lol,

[TheMercuryMusic]

@mZuAsCiHcS I dont have tabs but check out Ultimate Guitar on google they got good tabs. Just learn the chords for the song then the barr chords and then try and learn it from the video really good practice for the ear.

[earthlyradiodotcom]

@mZuAsCiHcS marty shwartz guitarjamz dot co m does.. its easy when played differently..

[xCityisMinex]

he needs to release an acoustic version of this song while we all wait for his new album!!!!

[j4s0nb0ll3s]

mhmhmmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm­h. shakes head at people argueing over youtube... mhmhmhmhmhmhmhm

[theUSC10]

i wish i could roll up some john mayer and smoke him..you couldnt get much higher

[KronSnatchels]

@louisaisaloser Obvious typo...Should I bring up the fact that "atleast" is actually two words? No because I know what you intended.

[786Vahi]

@louisaisaloser

Honestly, they probably aren't smart enough to know how, if they disliked this video.

[DrivenMind]

The chords he uses for this song on acoustic make it that much better.

[valvopaul]

Nothing like JM acoustic just him and his guitar. Now that's a true sign of talent! Very few of the same caliber as John Mayer!

[katieamoTV]

I'm waiting for a world where people stop fighting about stupid things like a john mayer song!!

[orwin8]

84 PEOPLE ARE REALLY WATING FOR THE WORLD TO CHANGE !!!

[dabawla]

Great song for this time in history. Make me want to vote for Ron Paul 2012.

[DonnaFirsty]

*sigh* Waitin'... waitin' on JM to come back...

[overrata]

84 people should imitate Van Gogh...but with both ears

[chris52695]

Great song, John Mayer is a genius when it comes to guitar. A hero to me and plenty others; I salute you John Mayer, for beinf an incredible role model :D

I learned how to play this song on guitar... In more than 5 different ways and variations, and it's amazing in every single form :)

[GabP309]

Stupid mic I cant see his hand playing the guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMarkTheGuitarist]

@GabP309 check out seminole224's tutorial and once you can play that, this version is very similar just with a bit more funky!

[forbesfoofighters]

@GabP309 without that mic you prob wouldnt be able to hear his hands playing the guitar aha

[pumukellll]

someone knows how to play the little embelishment (sorry if i spelled it wrong) he does at 1:56

[cer526]

Just remember--Profanity is the crutch of inarticulate shitheads.

[Steveeeeeeeeeeeeeeey]

@cer526 Did you contradict yourself on purpose?

[davefistr]

cool singer !! smooth

[DaRose12]

@MyCinder1 agreed.

[Cbluesrocker]

There must be some mistake. It says there are 1,792,442 views. That's not even half of my personal views!

[harrisKiss]

so we keep waiting.. !

[MyCinder1]

One thing that cracks me up is the people fighting on these comments and yet fail to listen to the song and its meaning
