The thing about this song is that this is all you need: guitar, vocals, drums, bass, and organ. But this organ part is just too repetitive in this version. It's barely moving chords at all, and even when it does, it doesn't sound different enough to be defined as a chord change.
Great version, though. One of the best of the early ones I've heard thus far.
@oliverandm I think his arrangement needed it in this one. Just a trio man! and I actually love how it all ends with the organ still ringing out, really sets the mood for the whole finale.
howcome can drums, keys, bass, guitar and vocal be played by a trio? and why must the 4th man, who plays thoose really really nice hanging chords in the backgruond, not officially be in the band??
@DKoutposting well if there really is an keyboardist onstage (I don't think there is), he would be considered an accompanist to the trio, a guest onstage. if this was the case, john surely would have recognized him.
i like this guitar but for this song it just dont feel like that dark navy blue strat that he has.... i think the pick ups might be different, idk but i can tell the other guitar has a more meaty sound. but i still love johns music

@chasingmisery Agree ... the whole time that rimshot sounded like a cross stick to me. Steve Jordan is superb - so tight and clean yet he never loses the thread and it's verrrry easy to drift off for a moment or two in a song like that (it is for me, anyway lol). Quality musicians.
Gravity is a great song!! Written by a great artist!
after watching every video on youtube of him playing this song with the entire band, i find that the trio version has a lot more soul than any other!!
My new favorite version of the song! and my new favorite artist!!
@ardiandhani that's not his signature one, even though it looks a lot like it! on the signature, the string guide is farther from the nut. Also, you can see it's a nitro finish on this guitar while the signature's got poly finish! and I prefer the sunburst than the white one, even though they both kick ass!
@StevoRayVaughan ya ya, i just saw the string tree. the signature one is farther. i dont have any idea about the differences of the finishing. yes, i love his sign strat, but i prefer the srv's :D
@ardiandhani nitro finish is an older finish that Gibson uses on all of their guitar use and Fender uses on the vintage and the relic models. it's a lot thinner and more fragile than polyurethane finish, but let the wood breath more, so the guitar sounds better. Polyurethane finish is a lot thicker, and really hard to relic, and when it's reliced, it's usually an ugly relicing since it's almost like a plastic layer over the wood, but it's gonna keep your guitar looking new longer than nitro :P
@StevoRayVaughan how do you know that? all the "nitro" vintage guitars had a thick fullerplast undercoat, much thicker than poly. what helps the guitar is a really hard really thin finish. back in the 60's nitro was thinner and harder and cheaper. today poly finishes can be much thinner and harder than nitro. also you are confusing the vibrations of a soun board with how a solid body vibrates.
@brownbigb ever heard of twisted necks, bro? that happens because the wood is working and moving after it's cut. and that means that the wood is alive AND NOT DEAD. go learn biology for yourself and stop telling shit.
@brownbigb allright sweetheart, there's no need to get rude around here. but that seems like the only way for you to compensate your lack of knowledge. have you ever cut a tree by yourself? i don't think so. 'cause then you would know, that AFTER THE TREE IS CUT, it dries, and something that's called "shrinkage of the wood" happens. and that means that the wood is breathing and it's alive. face the fact: you sir, are the idiot.
@MultiYeahohyeah you are dense beyond belief. after a human is killed and their body shrinks after (see mummies) because it looses its water content. by your definition the human is still alive long after getting killed. it is not breathing you moron, it is drying. sit down before you hurt yourself. i'd be seriously surprised if your iq is in double digits.

your english is bad enough, your german is not much better. you didn't go to school much did you? try hoch deutch, or maybe that is too much to ask. where in austria are you? voralberg? i lived in austria for 2 years. in innsbruck, in lenzing, in baden and in hochneukirchen. lived in wien as well. most austrians i met were much more educated than you.
@MultiYeahohyeah the only austrians, that were very uneducated and dumb, i met when i lived in lenzing and worked in vocklabruck. they were lumberjacks, and as dumb as the chair they sat on. just total darkness. other than that, i had very good experiences with austrians, mostly knowledgeable, educated, nice people. my aunt was a violinist in the innsbruck symphony.
one of the most emotional songs and live performances iv ever seen,lol when that solo first comes in its stunning,the organ sound fits amazing.john mayer is fucking god,my idol,i hardly play anything else on guitar these days,only his stuff
so much dynamic, emotions from all musicians. the atmosphere of this song is incredible. awesome musicians! if you look into john's face while he plays a solo you can see him putting all his emotions into the solos.
I believe it's a loop pedal which has recorded it. If you listen carefully then it's the exact same note throughout the song. I believe he uses the guitarpedal he also uses on In repair, to make the organ sound - awesome :D
its not a loop pedal.. there is a guy in the back playing the keyboard. and it sounds like its the same note but its not. he has the same chord changes as everyone else.
John's music is amazing, he plays beautifuly, and he just puts more "soul" into it than other modern songwriters. his music takes me to a big beautiful city. it reminds me of my trip to chicago. all his music is amazing! :D
@ieatchicken133 It's called emotion. He actually feels his music when he plays. Unlike today's music that just talks about getting drunk and senseless other things. haha
this appears to be a 60's Roadworn series strat as far as i can tell. It is weird that he's playing one, its kinda like a poor-man's custom shop relic.
@AlanDavidMusic Ah, you're probably right... it dates from November 2005. Those roadworn strats may have been in the concept phase... but didn't come out until 2008?
sorry dude. it's one of his personal models. The off white cream, with aged pickguard. they sell em @ guitar stores. it's a great guitar if you can get your hand on it. all his models kick major ass.
4:51-5:18. Pretty good attempt at copying derek trucks. trucks does it with a slide on a gibson. sounds ok with the strat w/o slide. johns got good tone during this performance. saw him at rothbury outdoors last year 4 first time, he had terrible tone. i missed gov't mule 4 it too. little dissapointed. but this is a good performance with some sick ass tone comin out of that strat. but u can't top trucks no matter what. even if he does look bored
HAHA! He's pulling an old hendrix move there, and he does it a little cleaner than hendrix, which is why he does it more. SRV used to do it too a bit. I don't see how that compares to Trucks and his role model for guitar, Duane Allman...and artists like Mayer and Mule and Trucks do better with love and peace anyway man, I'm sure they'd both agree. Warren plays all the time just so you all can see him as well, though I'm sorry you were disappointed by the expression of an artist.
It has been reported that he sometimes works with a leslie so it could be a Pog generated effect (guitar to organ sim) effect being sent to a leslie speaker ...who the f knows lol
His vibroking that flanks the two rock heads and cabinets is such a unique tone of his time with the trio I cant say I hate his new or old choices of equipment these days. Btw I have always wondered for this 3some song if they implemented a tape loop of a studio B3..could it possibly be a guitar looped organ effect driven by a Pog generator and then given a rotary effect ...sounds kinda uni-vibish ..theres sound amplitude shift but no apparent change in sound position. U never know with him!
The Organ loop really doesn't add anything to this performance. It's actually very distracting once you've focused listening for it. It's also kinda funny at the end when they finish playing and it's still going, cause for a moment I actually thought the organist wasn't paying attention and then I remembered, there isn't one!
This is actually the worst ive heard him do this song. Usually he's great but he was really off key here. I guess nothing beats the Live in L.A version.
he's not even worrying about the key. he's just playing what he feels. which if i had 2 pick, play in key or play what you feel, I'd pick feeling it anyday. but that's just me.
hey circa215, mayer used to play metal! his early influences were 80's hair metal bands i think. he started playing the blues when he heard SRV. i think he's already badass anyway. just wish he wouldn't play pop anymore.
their needs be another blues reawakening. a lot of people just don't understand it and it needs to launch again. its the truest form of music in my opinion. except this is more R&B which is still amazing.
for all the nay sayers out there: this does not suck. just because you don't get the genre of music and it doesnt hit the spot doesnt mean its shit for everyone. don't be so fucking narrow minded.
Man. This guy doesn't just love SRV. He worships the ground he walked on. Hands and knees. The scarf, the one handed thing, every lick in his vocabulary. Good fun.
Ha ha, yeah! I was wondering the same thing. It's the John Mayer TRIO, and yet there is an invisible organ player well versed in the G Major chord and it's close variations...
so what now we can`t apreciate music today just because it has some influence? it`s almost imposible to make a dong without influence because there is a huge volume of music in this world u might make a great song and not even know that it hase some influence from another song.... great songs came out of influence and great song will still come out of influence stop talking shit and btw awesome song ;)
Can we get something straight about influence? First John Mayer acknowledges his influences. I swear I get so fucking sick of the influence arguments. EVERYONE WAS INFLUENCED BY SOMEONE! Clapton was influenced by someone, The Commodores orignal writers were influenced by someone! Chuck Berry was influenced by someone! But just because u are influenced doesn't mean you can perform. God-giving talent also has to come into play. I am an African American who enjoys Mayer's music period!
In that case I apologize. I thought you were implying that Mayer or any white blues artist somehow stole the music from black people and was conspiring to hide the fact that it wasn't there's to begin with. I clearly read to much into your comment. Oh well
history of music! the blues is born in the mississippi delta invented by black people then the rolling stones and elvis take it and make a fortune. chuck berry invents a style and the beatles take that and make a fortune.
singing about hardships(a.k.a. the blues) has been around since music has been around, it's not just an american thing...claiming rights to items such as music is though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i wouldnt say anything if it was good. what do you do with this song? put your hands in the air and sway back and forth? the solo sucks. Zeppelin has blues influence, but they are technical visionaries, they inspire, they rock. Mayer doesnt do anything.
The thing about this song is that this is all you need: guitar, vocals, drums, bass, and organ. But this organ part is just too repetitive in this version. It's barely moving chords at all, and even when it does, it doesn't sound different enough to be defined as a chord change.

It has been reported that he sometimes works with a leslie so it could be a Pog generated effect (guitar to organ sim) effect being sent to a leslie speaker ...who the f knows lol

Ya I know he uses a Pog. In Repair was recorded with a Pog.

His vibroking that flanks the two rock heads and cabinets is such a unique tone of his time with the trio I cant say I hate his new or old choices of equipment these days. Btw I have always wondered for this 3some song if they implemented a tape loop of a studio B3..could it possibly be a guitar looped organ effect driven by a Pog generator and then given a rotary effect ...sounds kinda uni-vibish ..theres sound amplitude shift but no apparent change in sound position. U never know with him!

The Organ loop really doesn't add anything to this performance. It's actually very distracting once you've focused listening for it. It's also kinda funny at the end when they finish playing and it's still going, cause for a moment I actually thought the organist wasn't paying attention and then I remembered, there isn't one!

There actually is no 'guy', it's just a sample being played throughout the song. I agree that it's freaking annoying though :P

This is actually the worst ive heard him do this song. Usually he's great but he was really off key here. I guess nothing beats the Live in L.A version.
Danklin24 3 years ago
he's not even worrying about the key. he's just playing what he feels. which if i had 2 pick, play in key or play what you feel, I'd pick feeling it anyday. but that's just me.

I wanna see him try and play metal haha cuz if he could that would be badass.
circa215 3 years ago
hey circa215, mayer used to play metal! his early influences were 80's hair metal bands i think. he started playing the blues when he heard SRV. i think he's already badass anyway. just wish he wouldn't play pop anymore.

John Mayer is very good but a blues god he is not. He plays in the wrong modes and box patterns a LOT...

There's no such thing as "wrong" modes or box patterns.

their needs be another blues reawakening. a lot of people just don't understand it and it needs to launch again. its the truest form of music in my opinion. except this is more R&B which is still amazing.

for all the nay sayers out there: this does not suck. just because you don't get the genre of music and it doesnt hit the spot doesnt mean its shit for everyone. don't be so fucking narrow minded.

Man. This guy doesn't just love SRV. He worships the ground he walked on. Hands and knees. The scarf, the one handed thing, every lick in his vocabulary. Good fun.

Ha ha, yeah! I was wondering the same thing. It's the John Mayer TRIO, and yet there is an invisible organ player well versed in the G Major chord and it's close variations...

its called "panning". it gives the song more depth and reverb.

so what now we can`t apreciate music today just because it has some influence? it`s almost imposible to make a dong without influence because there is a huge volume of music in this world u might make a great song and not even know that it hase some influence from another song.... great songs came out of influence and great song will still come out of influence stop talking shit and btw awesome song ;)
BoBo4ndrey 3 years ago 4
Can we get something straight about influence? First John Mayer acknowledges his influences. I swear I get so fucking sick of the influence arguments. EVERYONE WAS INFLUENCED BY SOMEONE! Clapton was influenced by someone, The Commodores orignal writers were influenced by someone! Chuck Berry was influenced by someone! But just because u are influenced doesn't mean you can perform. God-giving talent also has to come into play. I am an African American who enjoys Mayer's music period!

this is a "Style" of music. theres nothing new here. Im not saying it shouldnt exist but at the same time, whats the difference.
nicework12 4 years ago
In that case I apologize. I thought you were implying that Mayer or any white blues artist somehow stole the music from black people and was conspiring to hide the fact that it wasn't there's to begin with. I clearly read to much into your comment. Oh well
Goatboy667 4 years ago
history of music! the blues is born in the mississippi delta invented by black people then the rolling stones and elvis take it and make a fortune. chuck berry invents a style and the beatles take that and make a fortune.

singing about hardships(a.k.a. the blues) has been around since music has been around, it's not just an american thing...claiming rights to items such as music is though

i wouldnt say anything if it was good. what do you do with this song? put your hands in the air and sway back and forth? the solo sucks. Zeppelin has blues influence, but they are technical visionaries, they inspire, they rock. Mayer doesnt do anything.

Mayer doesn't inspire or rock?
Because I personally think he does a hell of alot of both.
