  • If anyone on here knows about guitar playing, theyll know that this is fake :P

  • i'm just saying.

  • Berkelee is in San Francisco, Northern California.

  • @lena15206 No its not. Berklee college of music is in Boston, MA. Berkeley is in California. It has nothing to do with Berklee, the college that Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, Steve Vai, and yes for a brief time, John Mayer attended.

    Berklee is a college of music, Berkeley is a liberal arts college in California, very big in the 60s.

    Got it?

  • @jojomellon Berklee is also a city right across the bay from San Fransisco. Been there. Famous college there. Hippie movement in 60's

  • @MaloneyGuitars No, thats Berkeley.

    As I just said.

  • @jojomellon Did you create this shred video?

  • i thought Berklee was in California

  • And people STILL don't know what "...shreds" videos are.

  • If you want to stop the terrorism in the middle east, play Mayer's stupid fucking music in Iran and Syria and all of Al Quaedia will come running out of their camps to surrender if you promise to stop playing Mayer's music. That’s it, we will have won all the wars. Mayer’s music is worse than a fucking nuclear weapon.AHHH!!! It destroys the minds and taste of dumb fucking teeny boppers. Go fuck yourselves Mayer fans! :)

  • Anyone who likes his music has zero class or taste in music. "I want to run through the halls of the high school" is the most asinine, insipid, silly set of lyrics I have ever heard in my life.

  • Some sensitive dumb asses can’t take a joke. Some men are so gay for John Mayer that you have to protect everything he does? It's funny how many men that get upset about this that they sound like they want to suck John Mayer's dick. That's o.k. fags, I'm sure Mayer would let you give him a reach around. John Mayer's music sucks big fucking elephant balls.

  • 3 greatest guitar players ever:

    1) John Mayer

    2) Katy Perry

    3) Lil Wayne

  • weak Tom Morello owns this guy

  • Good stuff. We laughed our asses off! Watched it 2x!

  • sure theres probably 15 other john mayers in every university but how come they havent been as succesful as john mayer or have earned respect from the best.... BB king, buddy guy, clapton a bunch of male guitarists who know that copying licks only gets you so far....john mayer admits he ripps people off but he has his own style and he learned to express himself through the inspiration of others......iow no idea is original

  • I love these fake vids. So funny.

  • lol john mayer really sucks tho he could have played the original audio and it would have been even funnier

  • @wagz420 except he's sick...

  • Copy a bunch a SRV licks from Mayer that SRV stole from Hendrix and Albert King. Nothing's new under the Sun.

  • hahahahaha

    

  • how could anyone honestly think john mayer is not a good guitar player

  • lmfao

  • Only the guitarists get it!

  • Ha Ha! I can't believe you guys didn't get the joke. I a "HUGE" John Mayer fan and I think this was funny as shit!! It looked like you did the right things in the over dub to match up with the video, sorry man, I'm crackin' up over this! I'm also a guitar player and have to send this one along to my musician friends. Fuckin A, laughing my ass off because at first I thought...what the hell?? Great joke man!!

  • god this guy is lame. 

  • Mayer shreds lettuce for his salad...that's the only time pretty, boy pussy - whipped un-talented lil' john shreds....he don't matter.....

  • The problem with doing a "shred" vid for John Mayer is that the people who like his music are 14 year girls who don't play the guitar. Thus nobody gets the joke.

  • This guy plays for a band called "The Warmups"

  • Can't believe i wasted time watching this...shred? more like stumbled upon notes that mildly worked together

  • @jojomellon that was probally your bitch ass untalented ass playing over his real playing you big dumb sack-o shhiiit!

  • @RazDaz2000 um, yeah, thats the joke. Welcome to 3 years ago. You're a quick one.

  • @jojomellon 4 years, even!

  • @RazDaz2000 hahaha what a moron

  • @RazDaz2000

    doooooh dooofus.....u dont want artists to fuck up on stage then dont watch them shreds vids.

  • what the fuck was that, it sounds like hes only been playing for 6 months

  • If you think JM sucks, try to copy his playing.

  • @topjimmyfairwarning That would imply that he has his own style of playing. I can cop a bunch of SRV signature licks and crow bar them into some bad love songs with my whisper singing voice too. Anyone can. Seriously, theres about 15 John Mayer types at any music university you go to. Rich kids with an extreme sense of entitlement and zero originality. If you're impressed by his playing you should really listen to some more music.

  • @jojomellon I fucking love you! :,D

  • @jojomellon fucking well said.

  • @jojomellon "i can cop a bunch of SRV signature licks too"? Good luck, dude.

  • @jojomellon exactly john mayer dave mathews fuck that ill take neil young srv clapton hendrix etc...

  • @jojomellon Mayer is a fucking scumbag SRV/Trucks fanboy. Fuck his life.

  • @jojomellon I don't like his op stuff, but his stuff with John Mayer Trio is damn good. When he plays blues, he can fucking play.

  • @jojomellon you're so stupid. John Mayer got BORED at BERKLEE!!! as in the top music school on the west coast and maybe even the whole USA. do you really think other people can do what he does? he doesn't play more like SRV, he plays like BB King more. and really, he has his own playing style. listen to gravity live. there's not a single one that's even similar to one another.

    go check out other music before posting something like this. it just shows how shallow you are...

  • @avin4723 Im stupid...... Okay, and Berklee is in Boston tough guy. west coast? All your credibility just went out the window. Any time you'd like to have a music theory debate, hit me up.

  • @jojomellon listen to live versions of his songs and see if they sound close to either BB King or SRV. they actually sound like hmmmm let me think... JOHN MAYER

  • @jojomellon If it's so easy, why don't you point us to some vids of you playing something cool?

  • @jojomellon Im not a big Mayer fan,but I can listen to him a bit.As far as the SRV thing or the whole signature licks are concerned,where do you think SRV was getting those so called signature licks from?All he did was string together a bunch of licks from old blues players and Hendrix,but he could play.He just not as original as you are lead to believe.SRV was exciting,but not all that original. You have to know these things.If you give Mayer that charge then you have to give it to SRV as well.

  • @topjimmyfairwarning oh alright I'll copy it, I'll just go break all of my fingers, de-tune the guitar, and then maybe go deaf...will I be ready then, OH BOY WILL I BE READY???

  • @topjimmyfairwarning who the hell thought this was shredding ? Like me piss all over a 12 bars blues and call music , R U serious? that out of key , out of time, and horrible

  • @chrisg021477 moron...

    

  • @chrisg021477 Ummm, it's a joke. It's supposed to sound bad.

  • screw berkle, it all about juliard

  • @okamasphere Screw spelling, too.

  • This is just a video of how a person is fairly good at tuning a guitar. Nothing moore.

  • Sounds about right. ;)

  • There are 2 reasons for these "shred" videos. That is because they're hilarious and also to see how many dumbshits actually fall for it lol.

  • You gotta realize that John went to Berklee. You don't get through that school without talent.

  • @fingerboy18 Rich parents get you through Berklee. John never even graduated anyways. Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, John Scofield. Those are destinguished Berklee alums. Not the guy who wrote Say What You Need to Say. I knew plenty of rich kids with no talent who got admitted to Berklee.

  • @jojomellon It's not about money. I know some really poor kids who got in because they were incredible. No one that graduates with a performance degree is ever "bad". John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy went to Berklee and also dropped out for the interest of their band. They are some of the best musicians on the planet. I don't think John Mayer is anything special, but he isn't shitty.

  • @fingerboy18 'Dream Theater' arent exactly a good example of Berklee churning out good musicians.

  • @jojomellon LOL

  • @jojomellon Seriously. DT is the classic example of shitty berklee grads that play theory wank music.

  • @fingerboy18 I'm at Manhattan School of Music right now. The situation is the same there. Talent sure helps, but if you've got a lot of money, they'll welcome you with open arms.

  • @fingerboy18 He also dropped out... JS

  • @fingerboy18..Lol, Yeah ofor like 1/2 a semester and left.

    .."say what you mean to say......"""

  • Oh well. the original was worse, so they had to put this in front of the original. So clear.

  • Sounds like my old chinese shoebox amplifier. John really has improved in tone here. Best I've seen him play.

  • Nice! :)

  • WTF!...........

  • hahahahah omg people are idiots

  • John Mayer FUCKING sucks shit anyway. So anything done to his music, satire or not, is a huge improvement. This guy is a pretentious piece of shit that needs to go away. Generic coffee house crap.

  • @Rushthatspeaks Oh yeah, I forgot! Everyone knows that the only good music is the music that YOU listen to right? Everyone else's musical interests suck isn't that true?? NO??!! Well than shut the fuck up and stop looking at videos of people that you hate just to comment that you hate them. It's pretty fuckin pathetic dude, just sayin' isn't there anything better for you to do??

  • no jimmy page

  • @shredr18

    Ok how am I an idiot... If that actually is shred, it's terrible

  • @mikeb929man1 Its supposed to be terrible. Its fake., Its been overdubbed., Thats the joke genius.

  • Man these videos never get old lol i cant believe people think this is actually him playing

  • Lol :p

  • WTF he bends out of tune?? And that's not shred

  • @mikeb929man1 ...you are an idiot

  • You're a huge faggot for making this video.

  • this is obviously fake.... 

  • suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!

  • Shreds?? This is fucking terrible! Jesus, you want to hear some people who are actually good, there are plenty on youtube. .Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, . . .. . I wouldn't trust this jackass here to tune my guitar.

  • @M3CoupeC50 He's better than you so do yourself a favor and shut up...

  • @M3CoupeC50 please figure out what a shred video is before commenting.

  • @M3CoupeC50 Lol clearly you are retarded caus this isnt actually him playing ha. It's overdubbed. It's a joke ha :p

  • @M3CoupeC50 i think you are as smart as jar jar binks or something like that

  • does anybody have the tabs to this???

  • He's all kinds of fucked up... hollywood drugs.

  • Mayer is fucking asshole moron.

  • @lastertower get the fuck over it

  • Mayer seems like an utter asshole!

  • this clip fuckin sucks man...try to find something better to put up..waste of time

  • dude, you made this excellent. i thought it as real for a while

  • @kylegas1900 if you thought this was real for more than a second you are fucking retarded

  • I love it when people fully understand the joke, like the two jokers above.

  • all the people who don't know what shreds are make me laugh more than the actual videos.

  • HAHAHAHA, seriously, laughing my ass off at the two guys who obviously don't get that this is fake!

  • lmfao!! this is hilarous, love it !!

  • macgregor don't get it.

  • This guy is fucking shit.

  • @MacGregor88 The audio's not real, this video's a joke...

  • @MacGregor88 are you fucking retarded? this isn't john mayer its some retarded playing over his vid.

  • You people know what a "shreds" video is, right? It's fake. Hahahahahaha

    You dumb asses.

  • boring!!!!

    

  • this was hilarious! it would be the funniest thing if he actually came on stage by himself and played this exact same thing

  • This is not impressive, I'm sorry. Family Guy was right, just stop John Mayer. You try to be bluesy and cool, yet write gay pop songs that only little girls like. Half of my Heart is the worst song of the 2000's.

  • @SoulSurvivor3989 dude i sooooo agree with you i dont like john mayer at all

  • holy s@#$ john mayer can actually play the guitar

  • hahah this is brilliant!!!

  • @cheese0tron you're a quick one

  • Comment removed

  • @eenque What is your point?

  • Comment removed

  • @yoeasypunk Its a joke. John Mayer isnt playing in this video. You arent that stupid are you? THATS THE JOKE

    Christ. Some people......

  • @yoeasypunk: hahahahahaha, you're a moron.

  • @eenque you do realize this is a joke..right?

  • Comment removed

  • @eenque Your sense of humor doesn't exist. Look up the word "parody"

  • @eenque wait...did you think this was real...its part of thos 'shred' series of videos where bad playing is dubbed over real footage. lmao this is great.

  • @eenque "shredding" has taken a new meaning in the youtube community, please do research before voicing your ignorance

  • I cant believe you think this is real!! Moron.

  • this shit is funny as hell thanks

  • I love *artist* shreds videos because there's always the huge amount of dumbasses who don't get it

  • Ive had to sit through a few soundchecks with this guy and i must admit he wails! Hes not a shredder but hes pretty good. I hate his songs though. Same story with Keith Urban!

  • @00sven00sven00

    Dude, Keith Urban is a redic guitarist. Definitely one of those musicians where his music does him no justice.

  • @00sven00sven00 hahaha yeah right man John is by far the best alive.

  • love john mayer hes one of my favorite blues and rock guitarist at the moment, but hahaa john mayer doesnt shred, hes not a shreder, this isnt shredding, wanna know the defination of shredding, look up michael angelo batio, yngwie malmsteen, paul gilbert

  • @smallz120 Thanks for explaining the joke.  Nothing gets past you.

  • @jojomellon This is probably his best solo.

  • @jojomellon your smart ass remarks are awesome... you have my support!

  • @jojomellon HAHAHHAHahhahaah

  • @jojomellon hahahaha smalz120 man what a loser

  • @smallz120 ARE YOU RETARDED!!!!! Thats not Mayer playing its a joke!!! and a funny one

  • cum in john mayers throat

  • he could have atleast played the halloween theme using two handed tapping...thats easy stuff

  • haha i love all the people who think this is real

  • derp derp

  • @pjking18 have you ever herped so much that you derped?

  • What is this? LIES! John Mayer can't shred!

  • @vbdude006 says the dream theater fan....ouch!

  • @jojomellon Can't take a joke? :P And yes I love DT..is there a problem? :P

  • @vbdude006 nah theyre a great cover band.

  • The idea of these "shreds" videos are to make the performances worse than they actually are. You didn't change anything.

  • @SonicThunderBYG We have a winner.

  • this sucks

  • @Tyril hey asshole i play guitar and i play metal and i kno john mayer doesnt but i can say jh\ohn mayer sucks i honeslty think im better than he is he plays shit to get chicks so its all nice and melodic. and thats why anybody listens to john mayer or they have a good job and want to look good

  • lol...he will have to work a bit to get to a real guitarist status, doenst have a chance against Slash and company

  • @Pingkonk Slash is one of the worst guitarists ever

  • @25Ragz Haha, yeah right, dude.

  • @Pingkonk hahaha coming from the kid that likes green day.Slash sounds like shit every time he picks up a guitar.I watched this one video of him and this guy was telling him to play something and he just went blank. He kept saying idk what to play and then hed play for 2 seconds some the shittiest sounding stuff and then stop and say idk what to play.. he doesn't have it ..he's a terrible musician...he is not talented. John Mayer destroyed him when they played together.. Slash shit himself

  • @25Ragz Yes I like Green Day, but you do know that one can like a band without them being skillfull musicians? I know GDs music is easy as shit. I play guitar myself. To only listen to music that is hard to play is fucking retarded. Obviously you havent listened to Slash/GnR enough. He is really good. Thats a fact.

    And in the end its all about tast, douchebag.

  • @Pingkonk I disagree.. i think he's the most overrated guitar player of all time.

  • That's not really good shredding... VERY mediocre.

  • I like John Mayer and all...but this is really bad improv. I've got friends who pull waaay better shit at their ass and they are like 17

  • @DDRRUUMMEERR Joe Bonamassa.

  • Comment removed

  • this aint shredding this is bull shit this mother fucker is a shit guitarist

  • @RRMI6ironmaiden lol its sad if you truly thought that was real

  • @RRMI6ironmaiden hhahahaha you're really dumb

  • wow! more thumbs down than thumbs up...

  • hahahahaha i love shred videos !

  • hilarious. whoever doctored this is the man.

  • @Tyril Rich white boy playing SRV licks. Thats not good dude.

  • @jojomellon he's rich for a reason you know.

  • @epicalice yes, because the general public will buy whatever is marketed to them. Happy being a sheep?

  • @jojomellon yea you're 100% right. There is no point trying to enlighten these fucking airheads tho. Leave them alone and let them believe what they want. I'll go check out John Scofield like you said.

  • @jojomellon SRV was white... and rich.

  • reminds me of a tuning session for the grateful dead...

  • john mayer wishes he sounded this good

  • fucking noobs

  • ITS FAKE

  • @thearctic111

    well done idiot

  • I thought this was a "shred" video, not grandpa's blues solo

  • wtf was that

  • way to hate mayer just cause you cant play guitar.

  • not john playin 

  • Wow what uninspired crap. This guy actually played with Clapton? What was it a guitar lesson or something? I think he could definitely use a few more.
