i love the accoustic. when i first learned the song i got it on acoustic because it just added a new groove to the song. its always fun to see variations of songs. some are great and some are not so great... now this one.. is great
Not as much as you'd think... He accentuates it because it makes his singing unique, but as far as I can tell, his new album is much less... whiny and lispy? Listen to his interviews.... no lisp there.
@lXJoseOleXl he still has his trio, it hasn't broken up yet. he switches between them and his normal band to play specific songs man. Thats pretty sweet to have two bands to back you like that. lol. If you look closely at his new performances he includes them all, the john mayer trio and john mayer band.
@MACWILLIAM42 No Its amazing, and it just show's how talented he is to be able to go out there with an acoustic guitar and a mic and still be awesome.
@MACWILLIAM42 You understand he's playing a Trio song solo and completely owning it right? He's got the bass, his guitar part and some percussion gping all on his own.
"see if u can spot this 1" tht line was used by eric clapton whn he played layla unpluged the first time...cool tht he used tht line too here wher he plays this song in acoustic
lol, leaving before the encore?!? Having said that though, when he played here, we waited for 10 minutes or so, bloody ridiculous but at the same time so so so worth it
haha Clapton shout out in the beginning.

He should have an acoustic version of this song on an album... this song is so cool
Nathan4841 3 years ago
Yep, if it's any consolation he has an acoustic version of Good Love Is On The Way on his Village Sessions record
MelleB90 3 years ago
Yeah I know, it's good, I just think it sounds cool when any electric song is played on acoustic. It's not as loud, but it's better IMO
Nathan4841 3 years ago
i love his acoustic versions of gravity, the heart of life, clarity, and waiting on the world to change that he plays on the vh1 sessions.
