Very nice sound m8!! What kind of set up are you using to record?The Tele has a great setup and very sweet sound.I really like this cover and lesson of JM's really awsome song.

[kubyn93]

@edwebo he bend it whole step. Maybe you did half step.

[ahmadaz96001]

he didnt strum... and the chords are wrong...

[VoVikMakaR]

why did u prefer tele for john mayers track?

[mzrainpl29]

these should be slides, not bends

[Iameverything]

@mzrainpl29 look up in YT: John Mayer - Gravity (GRAMMYs on CBS) and apologize

[myloveformusic12]

I DONT WANNA BREAK MY FRIGGIN GUITAR STRING TRYNA ''BEND'' IT! WHAT DO I DO!?

[machogriz]

@myloveformusic12 be gentle with it :)

[myloveformusic12]

@machogriz but i think my guitar is different because no matter how high i bend the string, i dont get the note you get :( help mee

[mattsavedbygracengai]

@myloveformusic12 get thicker strings

[IpodJunkk]

@myloveformusic12 when you cant bend you have a really bad quality guitar ;)

[myloveformusic12]

@IpodJunkk oh, well that's always nice to know O_O

[ede93]

@myloveformusic12

@jerseyPE1207 get an Epiphone SG the G-150 is about $200 and is great and what I have has the pearloid frets and it is the G-400 and is about $300 the G-400 looks more professional but both have exceptional playing tone and quality for their money.

[LienSdrawse]

great lesson - thanks v,much

[SugeBradley]

youre a great teacher

[weriwulf]

Great lesson!

[alangriff1]

A great tutorial. Fender Teles are just the most - what a crisp sound.

[binhleau]

[djfinger4]

really great tutorial! much better than any others i've seen. thanks for the help

[pudzianoski96]

:D Nice lesson. Thanks for help. ( hate sitting with tabs )

[damo1493]

[Swax6302]

[aneliees]

[madmax21029]

Wow. One of the best online lessons I have seen. Thanks!

[BOGGLEO]

why did you film yourself itching your leg at the beginning???

[myloveformusic12]

sounded like he whistled to a girl at 2:04

[myloveformusic12]

sounded like he whistled to a girl at 2:06

[TryingUnique]

I cant bend a string worth crap

[fuelfreak108]

@TryingUnique Get lighter gauges - Try 9s or 10s.

[727jesusfreak]

that was great thank you so much!!

[dbfruer]

it was ok, you just got the rythm a bit wrong.

[Rockerkm97]

You guys realize theirs good guitars other then strats and teles right?

[omangion78]

thank you !

[timvelden93]

Great lesson. Thanks

[Froobspwnz]

hey instead of playing the 5th fret on the intro play on the 7th fret cause if you play the song back and play with it on the 7th fret its just like john mayer but other then that you did pretty good thanks i'm pro at this song now thanks to you :D

[sSsj4goten]

hey thanks a lot bro. If i could, i'd buy you a nice cold pint or scotch, but since i dont really know you, i will drink it for you =)

[IOWSSam]

This bid is so helpful! I'm just a little confused on the second part of the beginning, the B,E then back to B. Is that part together? It sounds like it's separate. (Maybe it's me, but do you strum the B&E at the same time?) But great lesson man!

[LooseSand]

@IOWSSam He strums the B and the e at the same time.

[MrShiningbubblegum]

epic intro..XD

[wesleyyostmusic]

Love Tele's but they're not much of a jazz guitar;) You've got a perfectly good Strat back there

[alf92ru]

Strumming pattern is : D D (percussion and muted) U D U

[personaltip]

Man! You are a great teacher. I really like the way you are teaching this song. Thanks a lot man.

[theguitargod145]

[Guitarman1337]

hey dude !

the lesson is very good! i like i very much but i don't know any chords so that's kinda hard to do, but THANKS!!

greets!!!

[ayanacampbell]

awesome lesson! very helpful, thank you so much!! :)

[jerseyPE1207]

im lookin to buy an electric guitar..any recommendations?? been playin for 2 years and i don't want to spend that much money..anything good in the 2-300 range??

[machogriz]

@jerseyPE1207 maybe a squier classic vibe strat or tele. They are supposed to be very good quality for the price.

[jerseyPE1207]

@machogriz great thanks a lot..great video btw

[AngadSinghMusic]

@machogriz i'd say the same! =)

[kradkyle]

@machogriz hahaha squires are shit

[kradkyle]

@machogriz hahaha squires are shit

[Play4theWorld]

@machogriz if it were me id buy anything OTHER than a squire but it works for a lot of people. For 2-300 you could get a decent iBanez or even a cheap ESP or something...buy used too save a ton and theyre just teh same usually

[fuckyouvevo11]

@machogriz its a telecaster. strats look nothing like that i have both lol but i agree

[imCanadianEh123]

@jerseyPE1207 you say 2 years? after 2 years I got a telecaster its got a rich sound and good pickups but only two

[jerseyPE1207]

@imCanadianEh123 i just got a really nice used mexican fender strat..excellent condition..i think i need an amp now...i have an old squier amp..sounds good but i think it will sound a lot better with a better amp

[renaultcescco]

@jerseyPE1207 nice job men congratulations

[DonTheTurtleDude]

@jerseyPE1207 i reccomend gibson.

[jerseyPE1207]

@DonTheTurtleDude any gibson in the 200-300 range? or just epiphones?

[plastic191919]

@jerseyPE1207 Haha, I wish there were gibsons in that price range

No, youll find only epiphones at that price, and not very good ones.

What i recommend, though it costs more than 200-300, is either a mexican fender strat or tele, which will run you bout 400-500 us if you find a nice one, or a DBZ guitar, not veryfamous, but very beautiful looking and sounding guitars.... Would probably cost a bit more than the strat tho.

You might get em for your price range if you buy em second hand. GL :D

[jerseyPE1207]

@plastic191919 awesome thanks...i got a mexican fender strat

[plastic191919]

@jerseyPE1207 Enjoy it mate :)

[bmanmess]

@jerseyPE1207 I Have a Hagstrrom D2F, and its a great guitar. paid around 300 used for it and it sounds similar to a Les Paul.

[zspar123]

@jerseyPE1207 just shell out the extra bit of cash and get a fender strat or gibson les pual itl be worth it in the long run

[nikolajhansen15]

@jerseyPE1207

if u havent bought ur guitar yet i would recommend the gibson SG special faded..really classy guitar...or maybe a fender telecaster classic player, or jaguar classic player...very good guitars for the money.

[lewtfish]

@jerseyPE1207 I considered a squier guitar. Somehow it didn't realy feel nice so I bought a Cort zenox Z42. I highly recommend it because is has is own look and sounds like a 500-600 range guitar

[ceddy1968]

What type of amp do you use and what type of pedals are you using on this song if any?

[machogriz]

@ceddy1968 Amp was an emulated Fender Bassman amp in POD farm in Line6 UX2 studio. No pedals were used.

[Totar95]

@machogriz

In garageband what would the amp and pedals be ? If you are in fact using garageband. Great lesson by the way !

[travismiller77]

@machogriz I've got a UX2 as well... and any time i try to record a cover, all that the computer records is the guitar through the UX2, but not the backing track. Are you using external speakers, and recording with a digital camera? I just record with the webcam on my mac... But not having any success. Any info would help. Great lesson by the way. I'll be using it to learn the song. Thanks :)

[UnoAmbs]

thank you :) if it wasn't for you i would of gave up on this song <3

[daisukiosan]

yeah i enyoud the lesson i realy like john mayers music and i like to lern all johns songs

[carlicomadreja]

Nice! where did you get the track without de guitar line? One more time, great lesson!!!

[kevkevkevkev4]

needs more dexterity. 

[bdc64]

Great lesson,thanks for taking the time.

[slurpeexyza17]

hehehehehe g string....

[TopGunWolf]

thank you .. helped a lot

[TheJohnemmanueL23]

thanks for all the lessons :} possible to show acoustic versions of john mayer's songs like clarity etc? thanks!

[A7X514]

u think ur the shit and i want to smack you

[MarieASFamjsn]

I saw a video where you slide from the 3 fret up to the 9th and not the 7th fret up to the 9th....which is right? o.o

[machogriz]

@MarieASFamjsn Good eyes! I think that either way will work, but the slide from the 3rd fret will probably sound more accurate.

[MarieASFamjsn]

@machogriz oh, i see :) thanks. :)

[SuperChance17]

Amazing lesson! however i was confused a bit by the chords, i wish they would have been explained a little slower but other than great great lesson!

[xalancampbellx]

Class man thanks

[CPunkDrake6363]

Thank you soo much :) I play by ear and i only got the solo from listening to it. The chords was what I got stuck on.

[Deanomiteaz]

Great lesson, but I am wondering if you have the tab sheets on it??? If so please hook a brother up. drbrownfield@yahoo.com I cannot find them the way you play it anywhere. Most are in the 14ty and 16th frets? Your way is much better. Thanks in advance

[xxguitarhero48xx]

Not exactly how he plays it.. but aiy..

[Seanboyguitar]

Do you have a video showing a close up of your right hand as you're picking the intro? I'm having a hard time figuring out John Mayers fingerpicking style. If not, can you create just a short video giving an example?

[Andregda10]

You rock

[TheVinster17]

Very nice, a difficult one on the chords for sure. Thanks

[grade21]

I'm an experienced player and I had been wanting to learn this song. This was an excellent tutorial! Thank you very much.

[johnmustio]

gooood !!!!!

keep doing this lessons due! 

[Bsinsi]

fantastic!!!

you're the best, man!

[brodster11]

you just cant get a strats tone out of a tele.

[mv1841]

Great lesson!

[paulopvpaulo]

Great lesson guy! Whats the software u use in PC?

[machogriz]

@paulopvpaulo For video editing I'm using Sony Vegas

[paulopvpaulo]

@machogriz OK u have a nice guitar, and your lessons are amazing. I try to learn this!

[paulopvpaulo]

Great lesson guy!

[CageMichaelW]

great lesson and video could use a little less tone and it would sound great

[HenkexMattssoX]

Yes i enjoyed this awesome lesson thank you it helped me alot! Btw nice guitar mate gonna buy a road worn 60's strat or a tele in september

[jokerflguy]

very good informative video  thank u for posting

[jactheripper007]

brilliant lesson man:)

[eviIbreebIes]

Are you certain this is in G? It seems more like C to me.

[shocb]

@eviIbreebIes G maj - Am - Bm - C maj - D7 - Em

the chords fit with key of G.

[machogriz]

@eviIbreebIes Yep, absolutely positive

[Jordanwinston1776]

@machogriz it is - i have the official guitar book.

[SLIMTM22]

@eviIbreebIes i was working with its scales, its in G

[TheDesignSims]

@eviIbreebIes

It is a G indeed

[InsuranceBrax]

GREAT MAN! i looked everywhere for the tabs and found the intro tabs but i was wanting the part in between the intro (when you went up to the 3rd and 5th fret) and thats what i needed. THANKS ALOT!!

[hike21]

very good, thanks.

[Princepersia94]

great man, It's so useful!!

[gilyosko1]

great lesson!! real good!!

[omangion78]

thanks a lot for this lesson, very clear

[4ty5]

This is totally different than the original :/

[Wake2Blake]

[lincolnposte]

Yeah, what everyone else said. VERY well done and please keep doing tutorials.

[NickLynch11]

dude, Make more lessons on songs. these are awesome. best on youtube

[Funkmasterpfc]

Hey... Is there any way that you can show the chords on tab sheets? I am having a little trouble seeing a couple of chords clearly. I am pretty new at this...Sorry. You are doing a wonderful job!

[JohnMayerFan98]

dude that was awsome man. i loved it. u are the best teacher ive ever seen. i love this song and i can now play it with ease. thank you':):)

[tunatwo]

that's nice! thx... simple and SLOW enough to actually get something from it. Thx for taking the time to do this!

[alex2matrix]

great man.. what are u using for backing percution? Thanks in advance:)

[machogriz]

@alex2matrix a backing track. Google it and you should be able to find it

[colinfirthfan]

AMAZING . NEED I SAY MORE

[tristan45160]

awsome lessons for 1 and 2 great job helped me alot...already got it downed packed thx!!!!

[Glew1992]

your guitar sounds amazing :) love you man

[theaxemansmithe]

thanks....but try a BbM7 instead of the Gm Nice playing and great tone

[mhh96]

you did a great job with this...i like how you were slow enough for us to catch on...this helped a lot! Thx

[Trixxxable]

dude I would like for you to make new videos your so great at teaching them thanx bro!:)

[Stinnie89]

Not that I can do it, but your vibrato is horrible. Like every other cover on youtube. Vib on a bend is so hard!!

You have the same problem I have, the notes go flat.

[rwbrdms1]

great playing but i think the tele sounds kinda thin.imo
