John Mayer's belief guitar solo lesson

[anyday82]

good video - but when u play slow and bend the notes it confuses the shit out of people

[thigarciaable]

Thanks man! I really love this song, and now i can play because your video is very good!

[russwsmith]

you're tone is too piercing. Something warmer would be nice

[iConverseMyLife]

did you learn this by ear ?

[Lefthanderz]

Cheers for taking the time to explain this,cool tone too!!!!

[radiohm3]

Thanks for the help, if anyone wants the tab for this video just send me a PM.

[DecemberSean]

@radiohm3

Hey can you send me the tab? Actually... I am looking to pay someone for that lesson from Berklee, the BB King one that is super popular, I would honestly pay you to tab that. Thanks Sean

[WarehouseRepublic]

So much better than the rythm track and well done on the tone!

[TheBluemayer]

solid! nice tone too

[papaping]

What about the second solo part? Mind sharing it if you've got it laid down?

This video's awesome by the way. Helped me a lot. Thanks!

[effected112]

Great video! Thanks for posting. 

[MatteSweden]

Dude, this is a good tutorial, but it would have been so much easier with some tabs! Sure, you can see what you're playing, but you have to watch it through a couple of times and try to find where the notes are taken instead of just reading the tabs and let the video tell us how to play them. That's my opinion.

[DasMiguel]

a really big help, thanks!!

[Siege2992]

Im having trouble following, if only u could say the fret number every time :(

[Guitarman2k104life]

[romeorodeo]

[romeorodeo]

[Irishman99]

What kind of amp and reverb unit are u using??

[kalenen]

GOD I LOVE THE sound of ur guitar! OMfg i im in love!

[totonecontuti]

the HQ is the same shit

[ughthisisgay123]

humbuckers dont belong in strats !!!!

(if thats a strat)

[musicvari8ion714]

@ughthisisgay123 Its called a Deluxe Big Apple Strat, I have one and they are awesome!!

[jorgerocksyourmundo]

Something amazing about the way that john plays, is that he didnt use alot of effects for continuum!!Its simple but he gives it alot of feeling by the way i played it..

[ListeNROck11]

could you tell me how you have your treble mid and low ? please

[aliceinchains01]

everyone who watches these videos or feels that they need this to SOUND like john or Play like him....need to rethink their process....for god sakes, listen to Continuum and figure out the solo for urself!!! its more rewarding than copying it from this video.......ull seee

[catcherinred]

I completely agree. Often times I find these videos helpful when using them as reference for a lick, but sacrificing all creativity and playing note for note is cheating yourself.

[KCVolcom]

Great tutorial but the two note slide just after 2:28 shold be A and C (fret 14 on G, fret 13 on B).

[Eddbeard1]

He does doe play an A and a C though. just in different position. How he plays it is also into the scale aswell, makes it easier

[KCVolcom]

Of course, but for the sake of correctness, you can hear in the song that it's a different voicing..

[jayjoshted]

what amp settings, and effect do u use to get this blues tone

[blinkstareblink]

i love the brits!

[icebeamer100]

I found this extremely helpful. I was always an acoustic girl but now I'm learning electric and if you have a good ear, which I do, you gave a great lesson. Thank you. Wish you showed your face...you sound super cute :)

[revolver188]

I have a really bad guitar..............

[trayflip81]

maybe mark yang needs to play longer before he attempts this.

[hofsteveO]

Steve..

You are too fucking good.

I hate you....

[circleofpower]

great lesson, you broke it down perfectly

[123playdead]

This is totally Disected ! :S

That is Amazingly Helpful, Great Effort :)

Thanks

[MarkYang72]

This tutorial is not good.

you don't explain which frets the notes are on. you just play it slowly and expect us to understand it. its a good solo but just bad explanations.

[danyjcms]

He says the notes, study D minor pentatonic and watch it again.

[Parolu13]

well ofcourse he exspects that, its so easy! the only reason you cant do that is becouse you cant really play guitar, so then you shouldnt even try this solo....

[Danklin24]

Markyang, you might want to learn the notes on the guitar neck before attempting anything John Mayer. Not trying to be an asshole bit it'll take forever to tell which fret every individual note is on. A good rule of thumb though when you're playing where he is, is that every note you play on the 12th fret is the same note as that string. So you can just learn the notes around the 12th fret

[ghani666]

wow imagine someone hoping you can actually copy so0mething in slow motion when you are staring straight at the fretboard and listening to him tell you EXACTLY what to do! No offense, man, I would normally let these kinds of things go, but honestly, what more could you want? He's not gonna tell you the fret for EVERY single note in the solo. That would be a 47 minute long video for fuck's sake. If you know the pentatonic scale, it's pretty easy to follow this.

[182BCaR182]

what do you use to get this tone?... bad ass vid man

[guitarfreternity]

Hi 182BCaR182,

I basically went straight into the computer via a cheap soundcard and added a spring reverb plug-in! All the tone comes from the Seymour Duncan Neck Position Humbucker. I also use Dunlop Jazz 3 Plectrums which are very hard!

[inthenude145]

dude this is very helpful but i cant really see when ur doin what...so could you please tab that out for me

[guitarfreternity]

Hi inthenude145, after the initial solo is played at speed, the solo is disected and played slowly with reference to all the frets and notes played. No tab needed!

[MelodicBlues]

Great tone and playin' buddy.
