John Mayer - Ain't No Sunshine (cover)

[06johnstonn]

@Shnuff3 Yeah you're right but usually girls, and I'm not saying that in a general accusation or that it's the case with you, but usually girls who like John Mayer like the pop side of him and his voice.. This video isn't that, it's blues and guitar focused.

[ghettocumquats]

why does everyine always say john mayer is so weird??? he really isnt

[06johnstonn]

Any guy at this concert wouldve been rockin out

Any girl at this concert would have been bored out of her mind

[Shnuff3]

@06johnstonn unless she liked john mayer, which she did, which is why she was there in the first place :)

[antonantonantone]

@06johnstonn whys that? makes no sence at all.

[TheIgothacked]

Finally "liked" one of john mayers videos . . . I think it's because I finally accepted the fact that he's a "gr8" musician.

[aftertouchbeatz]

i feel like mayer would sound so much better if he didn't put his lips directly on the mic all the time

[rhettcprice]

Berklee ftw :)

[7787Surfer]

sex

[grantnbrandonwazhea]

i have literally been replaying this video for the last hour. Should I start on my homework? nah i like this better

[adunkley92]

does anyone know where I'll find a tab for this?



[TheWardonovan]

@adunkley92 listen to it and figure it out

[adunkley92]

@TheWardonovan Not really what I asked was it.. prick

[TheWardonovan]

@adunkley92 oh i get it. you just rely on tabs. well there ya go!

[morgyrenee]

@adunkley92 yeah, john mayers brain

[wildcatsoccerman]

0:09 thats what i tell me teachers while i take a test. "Hold up, Lemme get my groove *Throws pencil* ooh"

[ilivestrong25]

@wildcatsoccerman hahahahahaha

[TheIgothacked]

Fucking dammit! I despise John Mayer . . . Why does he keep covering my favorite songs!?

[TheWardonovan]

@TheIgothacked why is that a bad thing

[TheIgothacked]

@TheWardonovan Because I don't like John Mayer . . . I thought that was obvious through my last comment . . .

[BritTheSinger]

CHECK OUT MY COVER!

[Ela1337]

now THIS is the real stuf!

[CoIeMusic]

Words cant describe!! Really well recorded too!!

[VividCourage]

0:18 "let me get my groove on" throws pick, plays sexy slide, screws the riff up a bit, turns to the drummer for a laugh and gets right back to it un-phased. I love this man.

[JNRcoolbeans]

he can play the blues

[PhilipPhan]

musical sex...

[Wiggles1414]

bloody pompous douche .... but such a musical legend !!!!

[mrhackcomic]

@Wiggles1414 true!!!!



[ouiali]

i really really really really reeeeaaaally want to be that guitar.

[SanaKamranButt]

how can ppl talk n do stupid things while such magic is taking place before them is beyond me :S

i wouldnt even blink !!

[EpicVidzUK]

The diffrence between a normal guitarist and a Great Guitarist is the soul and feeling you put into ur performance and instrument....This does what he does because he enjoys it ..That why he is so AWSOME!

[Mkisho]

Making love to that guitar son!

[beearwalken]

Bill is one of those voices that shouldn't really be covered.. but good lord, can he make that guitar cry!

[tedrobcool]

If you want others to hear the voice of angel, skip to this part... 5:45  then thumb up!

[VivoAmorVida]

the first solo....my knees...oh lord

[tuquituful]

i just love your video, and..... john mayer, obviusly, perfect

[dozoomzdayz]

this is just terrible, he should stick to that singer song writer crap

[rockford28]

@dozoomzdayz The worst cover of this song is still amazing.

[asharfina4186]

can I get pregnant from this?!

[marts1233]

@asharfina4186 hahaha

[tuquituful]

@asharfina4186 hahahahaha maybe, after i saw the video i was.... FORGET ABOUT HOLLY SPIRIT! john mayer can make it reeeeeal

[EliseCPS]

Oh. My. Gosh. Favourite artist, favourite song....genuinely feels like I'm in a dream right now.

[Marauder667]

Bit self-indulgent

[tedrobcool]

@Marauder667 "bit" haha, but gotta love his playing lol

[MatiBtodo14]

I covered this song in a recent gig, so chill.

Guys help me out by visiting my music page.

Im an 18 year old musician. Uruguayan living in Brazil.

Search "Mati Berretta" in facebook pages or soundcloud

Thank you

[trynuxxx]

0:00 to 6:31 its just like orgasm

but 2:45 makes me touch the heaven

[tedrobcool]

@trynuxxx i love that part too

[HASHlRAMA]

this is surprisingly easy to masturbate to, and im not even really watching the video.

[BestChannelNever]

What kind of camera is this?

[PopRocksV]

I think I may have to take a pregnancy test after that.

[nolenhammer]

i,de toss his salad lik nobodys business

[nolenhammer]

id toss his salad like no bodies business

[snshnegurl04]

how about next time, we replace the guitar, with me..... (;

[yazzman13]

Was interesting then he overdid it..there is only so much soloing anyone can take

[SmiffyDelta]

@yazzman13 That is by far the most stupid comment on youtube! this is fuking bliss!!!

[kathyuk28]

OH my GOD do you see what he does with those hands on that guitar? Imagine that on the nether regions, gals.

[xDreamTheater92]

This made me jizz all over my new iPad, thanks john.

[trisha170]

@MrDearlife This IS porn. He's making love with the guitar, can't you hear it moaning?

[spankyx2006]

im totally straight but i gotta say johnny makes me moist

[bigcar401k]

I need a cig after this

[rhylee90]

KILLER



[slappywag88]

His guitar tone is sick!

[mikeyhart20]

@spottedflare the fact that you still say "gr8" makes your point invalid.

[BassHeadsProduction]

@mikeyhart20 has there been a non retarded person in the history of life to ever seriously (as in a non satirical fashion )use 8 as a substitute for the phonetic sound "ate"? the answer is no.

[blooplefacethewise]

@BassHeadsProduction Tupac Shakur wrote an entire book of poetry using such language. The number 4 instead of the word "for", the number 2 instead of the words "to" and "too", and so on.

[blooplefacethewise]

@blooplefacethewise It's called "The Rose That Grew from Concrete". It had an album based on it.

[spottedflare]

@mikeyhart20 Dude .. with all due respect .. John Mayers is a good artist .. I like most of his performances.. I said "gr8" only in context of the song as performed by MJ and Bill Withers.. not in context of this perticular recording .. my point hence remains valid .. In the end, not that it matters, but I dont have anything against ur favourite artist :)

[mayerfan09]

@mikeyhart20 Chirpfest?

[socool09]

DAAAAMN!!!! This man is amazing! I would let him have my babies...

[Truwarier14]

poor guitar isnt a virgin anymore

[spottedflare]

Alright, this was the 5th version of this song I heard today. I found the one sung by MJ as the best by far. Does anyone know if MJ has sung this song later on in life as a grown up ??.. that wud be a gr8 recording. I found the version of Bill Withers gr8. Sting was a bit unbearable ..BUT THIS ONE IS SHIT!!!!!!!! .. .. Sorry if I hav hurt the feelings of Mayer's diehard fans .. but he spoiled a gr8 song!

[tedrobcool]

@spottedflare lol true but.... the solo is great

[njdkidd1231]

@spottedflare shut up dumb ass bitch

[tempuramonster]

@spottedflare You must be one of those non-musician types.

[MrVaddiReddy]

@spottedflare If you were sorry you wouldn't post that

[esprit15d]

@spottedflare that's not a valid opinion. even if you don't like it (which i hold-heartedly support) he showed a degree of musical virtuosity that most artists and guitarists don't even possess. On his worst day, he plays better than 90% of what you hear on the radio on any given day.

[spottedflare]

@esprit15d Okay dude .. i m no music critic .. It jus didnt make me feel as good as the version by MJ or Bill Withers .. It made me feel like as if he made a mokery of a song full of meaning .. may b my opinion had something to do with a cultural difference.. thanx fr not being harsh in your comment .. i appriciate it :)

[8motofox]

@spottedflare you forgot to write "The" infront of shit

[Almak47]

This man isn't normal

[VjmtkV680]

John todo lo que haces es sexy.... es increible <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[bondarenkorama]

kjghfszghjghkjhjgffs sorry just whipping off jizz of my keyboard

[drewastuart]

Me Gusta.

[TheJedden]

The original is so so so so so much better than this.

[belfasthyde]

if hendrix herd this ...........

[spottedflare]

@belfasthyde Yea I know how u feel brother! .. :x

[BludySkinz]

I think John Mayer is a fine guitarist, he's acutally really talented, but his singing, It never got me



[esprit15d]

@BludySkinz he's not the best singer, but I think he gets by, and he's DEFINITELY improved since his early days. he's taken some voice lessons i know. he sounds really good on his duet with tony bennett.

[TheCharliePetch]

@Macadog1 @TheHammond44

It's a Gibson Es-335.

and I was there yee

[TheHammond44]

@TheCharliePetch lucky bastard.

[TheHammond44]

what guitar is he playing?

[macadog1]

@TheHammond44 I would also like to know. It sounds beautiful

[SeriousSwann]

Now I know why John Mayer can''t keep a girlfriend, he's cheating on them with his guitar. If I were him I would marry the guitar. No women in the world makes amazing guitar solo sounds while you make love to her.

[tedrobcool]

what scales? lol

[tedrobcool]

@TheLyricalgenius85 it aint that good man

[chandlerherbert2]

This is truly a great talent! I will get a bit of his music!

[MrBlackashell]

[gulictba]

@MrBlackashell Gay.

[shanetube12]

[Steeeezey]

[leahlu15]

[pasiakalka]

He`s not the best singer of our times but the one of the best guitarist and songwriters for sure! He`s play and words of songs that he writes are like an emotional bomb..!

[pasiakalka]

@pasiakalka And this cover is so sensual and almost extremely sexual.. like a magnet, baby :D

[Constowe]

hey everyone search baldy and burke and listen to their songs, they're so good!!

[Lildrummerboy714]

what did u use to record this? Great quality!

[chaimra89]

damn epic guitar faces

[KJizel1010]

How could you not feel this?!

[nietorm]

bought a pair of pumas casue of this video......forgot about that classic

[imprezzi]

Props to JM for keeping it interesting and putting people's enjoyment of his concerts over the demand to only play his own music. That was an entirely original version and I wish he would have played in when I went in Denver! Rock on John Clayton Mayer!

[Sakij76]

He thought he was a lot better then anyone else did...

[sk8rbuoi]

@Sakij76 who?

[Sakij76]

@sk8rbuoi john mayer

[sk8rbuoi]

@Sakij76 Oh ok that's weird I didn't know people could actually mind read

[DanKoh7]

I think I jizzed at 6:30

[MrsBenaglio]

DAMN. fuckin hot.

[nethour]

Dear eleven:

the only thing you gotta do is picture your self as the guitar and then i dare all of you tell me u didn´t like this cover

i mean

[x3xRockStarrx3x]

Eleven people have low libido.

[Princessjhoe]

JM + his guitar = hot!!!

[CirraPattinson]

!!! why are they sitting down.

[TheRiggenbach]

guitar needed a smoke after that

[PopRocksV]

@TheRiggenbach Damn... I needed a smoke after that and I don't smoke. Good grief that was HOOOOtttttt....

[jaypru1121]

wqdertyjuikwsfrgthy that was me wiping the jizz off my keyboard

[aniskiewicz1]

[scooby272]

[TheElixirGuitar]

[crapolaist]

[VoVikMakaR]

[FallonLaylow]

[siamuDhaeL1997]

It's like he's making love to that guitar.

[screamifyoulikerock]

I have to say that that guitar solo is utter poop - great dynamics but certainly not close enough even for jazz!

[GabriellaBMonica]

looks like he's having sex with with the music

[benziboi91]

this is amazing quality dude

[kyudooooo]

john mayer > megan fox

yeah i'm a dude. 

[JulianHuxtable]

damnnnnnn. this is mayer at his fucking best. that accidently at like right after 1:04, is sick!

[mattbeermusic]

5:55 his like adam levine-ish voice with that vocal run.. amazing.

[lechence]

That's how makin love to a guitar sounds (L)

[ilivestrong25]

So far I have read comments about his hair looking stupid. Looks like a normal haircut to me. Then I've seen comments how he shouldn't be covering this song cuz he's "making money from it" and because he said those things in the press. Artists don't make that much money touring. It's basically just getting your sound out there! I'm pretty sure Bill doesn't mind John making his song even MORE famous. Withers doesn't need youtubers fighting his battles. John does a great cover. Haters go elsewhere

[anna61081]

This is better than porn.

[ihaveherpeas89]

Who gives a fuck wether or not the song was made by a black artist to begin with? Is it not a great song to begin with? That's the beauty of music that it's universal and it doesn't matter wether you're black Arab, or Asian. Music is music and you should just respect and be grateful that we have somebody as talented as JM. As far as nothing being original in this song I think you may be deaf because it is a cover of a song, but mostly all of it is improv. This was definitely hands down the best

[drako96969696]

@jcurry3school I know !  I get frustrated and mad at him too because of how skilled he is and we aren't. But you gotta live with it.

BTW you should channel all this energy you have with something a little bit more useful, than hate on youtube videos. I don't know, read a book or something.

[jcurry3school]

Take it back to the seventies, Al Di Meola's - the Wizard stomps on anything John can ever put out...no cover all origional.

[bambisbear15]

lol its alright, wth is up with his hair btw?

[peterstrohm]

lol @ people who "own" music, especially racists. fuck racism. PERIOD.

[loveyoulovers]

@jcurryschool unfortunately it's not up to you what sing he sings, and noone gives a fuck if you aren't for it. So build a bridge and get over it.

[alygovs]

can i be the guitar?

[musicfreakkkkkk]

why are people saying that he doesn't deserve to cover this song?

[Guitar1hero23]

@musicfreakkkkkk because certain people go a little nuts, and call somebody racist for covering a song...im not pointing fingers, but if i was...it would be at jcurry3school

[timvanaarst1997]

wich concert is this.?

[SeeGabeGo]

white boy got some soul there

[jcurry3school]

John Mayer doesn't deserve to cover this song...PERIOD. Fucking joke...

[Tcyphers06]

@jcurry3school your a joke dude

[jcurry3school]

@Tcyphers06 Im a joke and he still doesnt deserve to cover the song...

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

@jcurry3school anyone can cover anything, its called freedom of speech. Let the boy do his thing, and let everyone else do what they want.

Sidenote: I know I created a paradox, and if you spotted it, kudos!

[jcurry3school]

@TobyEllisSongwriter Nope...not this time, if he would have kept his mouth close I'd leave him alone but, he can't say racist shit (directed towards black people), cover a classic by a black songwriter and make money off of it without me saying "he is a piece of shit." I'll let Justin Beiber, Fergie and Dixie Chicks cover this song, before I let John Mayer get close to the sheet music. Fuck John Mayer PERIOD.

Sidenote: Missed the paradox but, you should upload your own cover of the song.

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

@jcurry3school then thats fair enough, but i would still be inclined to forgive him as much as we all forgave Eric Clapton for his racism (which was extreme and exclaimed on stage to audiences, rather than Mayer just trying to be funny and failing, not realising that the jokes he can make with his black friends who say even worse things he cannot get away with in public).

BTW: racism is an equally bad thing no matter what race its directed toward, not just black people.

[jcurry3school]

@TobyEllisSongwriter This ins't about racism in general, its about John and the audience he chose to appeal to (you know, the one that thougt the joke and the rant were funny.) To take the side that he did and, cover this song, this way, is an insult. If he performed this song pro-bono or for a charity, I'd leave him alone. But he is making money off of it, he doesn't deserve it period.

I'm all for artsist crossing genre's, just not him and not this song. Maybe I'll leave him alone one day.

[drmrsavvycraig]

@jcurry3school Your just pissed because he can play guitar better than you and get any chick he wants.

[jcurry3school]

@drmrsavvycraig I can too...nawl thats not the case, if Im pissed its because my community seems to accept and even promote his behavior. He's covering a song by a black artist. Its funny because so many rappers get crucified for sampling (legally), and John can get away with insulting the race of the artist who wrote the song he's covering.

As far as the guitar is concerned, the riff is origional but, its only one riff and I swear I've heard it before. RHCP I think. Its good but its not epic.

[voodooblueskid]

@jcurry3school he can't read music anyway ;)

[voodooblueskid]

@jcurry3school he can't read music anyway ;)

[EazyE9252]

if this guitar could bust nuts...the whole front row would be covered.
