John Mayer Special Edition Black1 Strat

[okamasphere]

Great man. Really nice to hear Mayer's material on his signature guitar. Lets hear some of your original stuff on this beauty

[quilicimusic]

@okamasphere Thanks, man! I'll be making a new channel soon with original material on it. Some demos can be viewed at soundcloud[dot]com/maxquilicim­usic.

[reppinthatseattleblu]

ok tabs for slow dancing intro...

[Yauger2007]

how much did that guitar cost you

[okamasphere]

ah yes, the make your own trouble version. nice playing.

[EricPlummerr]

no dislikes! nice job man, im thinking about going to berklee but im not sure if i want to go down the music path, is it easy to find work when you graduate?

[quilicimusic]

@EricPlummerr Thanks a lot, man, I appreciate it. I actually haven't studied there...I'm 17, and I just received a scholarship to the school, so we're in the same boat! I'm going to wait until spring and decide whether I'll be studying there. Best of luck to you.

[HeemNHuggie]

You have Mayer's style down pack, man. Jesus..



[sugga57]

damn, you can play.



[MJGirl94]

This is great guitar play! One of few who really knows how to show that "mayer feel." Watch your video over and over again. Specially Vultures. My Favourite song of all time and u work it! Great job

[gerrytimtammusic]

such good style man. you've got that john mayer tone but at the same time you have those insane and unique little licks of yours

[zeppelin5100]

awesome playing, similar to the seminole channel

[opcer]

Awesome playing bro :).

[McKeee0326]

I'm glad you can play as well as you do, ive seen people with the 1/500 black1 who suck and all I can think is why don't i have that guitar. Cheers

[crazyfreak1919]

you got fantastic tone!

[shuvitupyours2011]

i swear this video beats porn anytime :)

[TheOneTheyCallRyYan]

Great job man!

[ramsay811]

Great tone man... hoping to get my hands on one of these babies soon.. :)

[melaserrano]

Were you using the Lovepedal Kanji Eternity during the Vultures segment?? this is really amazing.. thanks..

[richieadamsmusic]

Great Playing Man, have this Guitar too. Love It

[tacomb975]

Once again SO FRIGGIN WHAT! Gold hardware, glad your dumb enought to think it makes a difference.

[Pwn3d360]

great job man, i can actually feel your playing. haha, keep rockin!

[ilivestrong25]

What kind of distortion are you using on the out of my mind section man? Oh and by the way, absolutely amaaazing playing! Wish I had those chops!

[12ozElephant]

*drool* :F

If digging up dog shit from my front yard and eating it was the only way to get this guitar I would...probably do it. Probably. :P

[arlwdabeast95]

THIS IS SO AWESOME xD

[arlwdabeast95]

THIS IS SO AWESOME xD

[Carthsgtr]

That thing is the sex... How many did you spend and how much would you sell it for?

[ERSlowhand94]

Spot on bro! You should come live in Pennsylvania haha.

[wstreetlyf]

so it must be the guitar that makes the player! just kidding that was awesome man

[AreaCode978]

Thanks for that Vultures loop; I've been playing it all day and my girlfriend already came twice.

[TheWasabiNoodles]

Teach me!

[AreaCode978]

Is there anything about these new JM strats that differ (other than appearance) from the older ones?

[dejongpersie]

you are the best imitation of john mayer. the way you played is so john mayer. please upload more videos.

[mikebrownonline]

can you do a few vids of some licks! your playing is ace

[eliabandrade]

wich amp ???? nice tone !!!!

[ItsRossG]

NO QUESTION, Best John Mayer style player on the internet! I've watched TONS of impersonators, you are by far the best. Keep it up man!

[mayerfan09]

@ItsRossG UM NO! seminole 224 is the best



[ZackZaroMusicChannel]

@mayerfan09 seminole224 is really awesome bro no doubt, but this guy is just fuckin amazing and only has 5 vids too. i could literally close my eyes and think its john mayer when he plays. plus u could tell he has a little of his own originality sprinkled in there. i don't wanna start any beef or anything. just my opinion man.

[mayerfan09]

@ZackZaroMusicChannel naw man im not trying to start anything :) yea its my opinion that i like seminoles vids this guys pree awesome too i just like how many more vids semi nole has :D and im glad this guy has a blk 1 it sounds fucking fantastic :)

[ZackZaroMusicChannel]

@mayerfan09 oh hellz yea. thats the reason we clicked on the vid. im pretty sure ALL of us mayer fans that play would KILL for this guitar.

[KBinning]

i'm just glad someone bought one of these who can actually play guitar. i hate seeing spoiled kids or people who are stupid with money absolutely murdering expensive guitars.

[geordie2001]

@KBinning If you have earned the money to buy one.. then you deserve one. Simple. If playing two notes on it gives them the satisfaction of playing.. fair enough. You can't have ago at someone because they put their hand in their pocket.

[KBinning]

@geordie2001 i can't help but think you've totally misread what i wrote. and you have to be kidding me if you think it's justified for someones parents to dish out crazy amounts of money for their kids to play something they'll soon lose interest in.

[MrNebelful]

man that's a lot of hum.. you've substantially  reduced it in your second video with this strat. how did you?

[KBinning]

@MrNebelful something tells me the hum isn't coming from the amp in this video.

[cocoblues78]

@quillcimusic thats awesome mate im still trying to sort it out if you can do a tab aswell send me a message thanks mate!!!

[cocoblues78]

hey mate do ya think you could do a cover of gonna find another you the mulholland version?

[kottaaz]

this is freaken awesome man!!! i aspire to be as good as you soon! whats your take on the Black1? worth it??

[SjaakShirly6559]

This is THE best 'imitation' of JM. Hands down. If JM have a day-off and don't want to play he should call you. Great playing man!!

Greetings from The Netherlands

Sjaak

[jrose152]

love this. great sound, great feel. keep it up

[MrGearguru]

Holy shit. How old are you?

[TheChondriac]

Yum. That's some tasty playing right there. Holy hell.

[Arajus1]

Hey man! How does this guitar play??? Looks awesome!

[NXC78]

Great demo, you do the guitar justice!

[vallorus]

This video should have way, waaay more views

[pattygilmour]

@quilicimusic You are sooo tasteful!! I haven't seen such great blues in a while :D

[samurainite]

freaking sick man, some of the best john mayer covers ive seen :)

[oooscasianooo]

What kinda settings/pedals are you using for the Out of Your Mind portion? I love that tone man! Great playing!

[bohemianbrian]

What kind of bassman head/cab is it? blonde? silverface? blackface? year? nice tone!

[djgca1]

Amazing playing. Amazing guitar. Been looking for one to buy for months.

[inchskater]

some parts of your version of vultures kind of made me think of "jazznowsee". you both play amazing! I hope I reach your level of playing one day! and besides, nice guitar you got yourself right there :D

[quilicimusic]

@inchskater Thanks so much, man. I appreciate it. He's actually a personal friend of mine; we both attended some Berklee programs this summer. He's a real talented guy. Thanks for checking it out, brother. 

[pattygilmour]

@quilicimusic You have such a presence and such personality with your blues!!

[bohemianbrian]

i really want a bassman after watching this....

[txedo23]

i MORE videos!

[EdestavMusic]

Hey! First off, NICE PLAYIN'! Is it the Bassman combo with 4x12s or a Bassman head with a cab?

[quilicimusic]

@EdestavMusic Head with cab.

Thanks for watching!

[toxto]

your clean tone is amazing

[JimboMansonMB1]

Dude, you're amazing. Any tips? How'd you get this good?? (Besides practice, of course!)

[Handel16]

it's good to know that you did not waste your money you have the talent and know you have the guitar Black1 gotta get it but money's tight damn you economy.

[RezaReza22]

outstanding demo, please do sown tutorials on some of those licks!

[1020fender]

Great playin man. You do this guitar justice.

[fjaviersaiz]

Holly shit you got the music in your fingers man.. the best covers I've ever seen

[IdoKento]

sick playing

[pds0911]

i should've bought jm black 1

[zxssded]

hy dude, wats ur amp settings, for both clean nd overdrive. i lyk both very much =)

[StockholmSyndrome08]

nice playing bud, wish I could afford a Mayer strat, but can't get jealous when I see somebody whose playing is deserved of one

[Ba2GPR]

Wow, that's the best demo ever! You're a great guitarplayer!

grts from Amsterdam

[Fenderboy93]

Where did you get that?!!!?! I would love to buy one!!

[Goodtimes1333]

damn son that vultures riff you used on the loop at t eh very beginning was so fuckin tight, damn, well its my 21 and im getting whatevr guitar i want, no more cheap mexicans for me, its been so long awaited, i would love the black one but everyone freakin else is like gettin it now, hmmm....

[TheRealRayJ]

Awesome demo of the BLACK1. I have the same strat. I'm curious why you use the Katana on Vultures? I've been debating whether to get the Katana but I don't know if $200 is justified for a clean boost. Does it color the tone in a certain way? Or is it literally equivalent to turning the volume up?

[Plocky241]

are the pickups really that noisy? great playing by the way!

[richieadamsmusic]

Great Playing Man, You defo have the Mayer feel and touch. Bought one of these, waiting for it to be shipped to Ireland.

[dkfone]

great playing. I'm a massive mayer fan also. Have a standard 2004 us strat and am agonizing over whether not i should get this guitar. Is it better than a normal strat or a big leap ahead. Could you advise me please. Or should i just get big dipper pickups

[lindsayell]

Great job!!

[GoingCamando20]

hey man do you think you could possible do a tutorial for slow dancing?

[mikman46]

Great job pal. I need to put in the time to play mine like you do...the best demo of the black 1 thus far! Keep it up.

[somaAndi]

thanks for the nice words but your playing is so much better!

what amps n pedals do you normaly use?

[salvamg89]

I'd say you are one of the few who truly diserve this guitar

[kujofox]

of all the john mayer wannabe's on youtube, you easily are the best i've heard. if john died, you could effectively play a tribute act of him. you obviously have put a lot of hours in and have gained some serious talent. that said, becoming a clone of another musician is a dangerous game. then again, it depends what your goals are.

[TheSoulofBlues]

great guitar and great playing! I have the John Mayer Signature guitar, not the sunburst but the green one, and I just want to ask you if the tone of the Black 1 it's different from the Signature? the problem it's that I'm Italian and I think that they don't sent any here!

[quilicimusic]

@TheSoulofBlues They're pretty much the same. They both have the same big dipper pickups. The only difference is the hardware and the other cosmetic appointments.

[fEkuaR]

Very good playing mate. I recieved my black1 yesterday it sure is a beautiful guitar, had to ship it from the US to Australia I dont believe they sent any here. I'd be one of the lucky few here!

[Hezzmania]

is it possible that you could make a video tutorial on the techniques you use, for soloing in the john mayer's style? Your playing has really inspired me to learn his techniques.

thanks very much

[pabloj3]

wow. that slowdancing really did burn the f*ckin room! congratulations, pal.

[JoshwaBurke]

Some very cool guitar licks in your video =D

[tellycastin]

Bravo, great technique.

[63stratguy]

Amazing dude. Put some more stuff up.

[64ccd]

Like gmalox said: your're a true fan. I'm 18 and I've playing for 3 years now. I can just begin to hope that I'll ever become that good :) Thank you for this wonderful video!

[lotr589]

Good stuff mate!

[bech2002]

YOU sound great

[jameskalas16]

Beautiful.... Wish i could make my strat sound like that! Is there a tab for that version of slow dancing?

[JacksonBrowneFan]

siiiiiiccccccckkkkk skills! and great sound. Very Jealous man.

[gmalox]

a true fan. watches the video of crossroads way before battle studies (in studio). and then learns it. 5.42 of this video is the coolest part in that other video. good job. getting my own one of these in 20 days.

[alEE4l]

Omg, can you PLEASE tab that little diddy on crossroads, I've been trying to find out how to play that version forever!

[alEE4l]

Best demo of the black1 so far, thanx for flexing your guitar muscles :D

[EdWARdGUItar159]

how old are you? thats some really great playing

[quilicimusic]

@EdWARdGUItar159 Thanks, man, I appreciate it. I just turned 17 and I've been playing for 4 or 5 years now. Thanks for watching.

[eloelo14]

[tylerdwells]

you know how to play your instrument.

[jazznowsee]

Lick at 3:38 is fuckin crazayyyy. This is sick dude

[texbls]

man very cool mayer style licks,and vultures jam was really great.

[haaaUNDaemmm]

great...best Black1 demo on youtube.

[patrksimmons]

Insane! I thought the Black1 strats were all sold out by now, and you just picked one up?

[quilicimusic]

@patrksimmons Yeah brotha. I went to the shop, asked for one, and it came a few days later.

[rexy84]

@patrksimmons Yeah go to your local guitar shop. I went to guitar center and they still have a few floating around in their system. I just got one shipped from Cali today.

[kevlar1818]

@patrksimmons they've all been sent to stores, so people looking to order online or preorder were out of luck a month ago.

[lefte18]

damn that was awesome..
