well if he messes up in recording he can always do it again so he SHOULD sound better in recording...plus they have a bunch of equipment that can make him sound better
The first half of the guitar melody in this has a lot in common with the sax line in the recently release Jens Lekman song Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo (although I have no idea which song was actually written first). Almost positive that that particular musical... bit was original from... I'm thinking a jazz rendition of some christmas carol from the 50s or thereabouts? Anyone have any idea?
im so gay for replying to something you wrote 1 year ago man. but i looked up that song, its pretty cool but the sax line straight ripped off of mayer. heart of life came out in 06 and jens lekman's song came in 07
i wish i could play like him. You know how humans only use like 10% of their brains? Well John Mayer must use all of it to be able to play like that AND sing at the same time. Truly one of the best, no doubt.
man, i dont degrade john mayers skill. i'm listenin to him often yeah, and i love his music, but if you've learned this pickin flicking slapping part, its quite easy TO HOLD THE RYTHYM - thats actually what i said, aight?
I totally agree, misterkupo! lol and when you said "You know how humans only use like 10% of their brains? " it reminded me of the part of the wedding crashers where owen wilson said "you know how they say humans use only 10% of their brains, I think we only use 10% of our hearts" haha. but nice commment!
John mayer is one of the best guitar players ever in my opionon he ranks with Hendrix and Clapton and even SRV.. have you ever sat down to play "neon" on your acoustic? with the "taps" try it see how far you get lol
yankees if u open up ur eyes u dumbmuthafucka of all the guitar greats they played different genres of music but had similiar principals 2 their music such as creativity with the pentatonic scales . Hammer ons and shredding is not necessary 4 today's modern desire for music , maybe a lil finger plucking? No one wants to hear that shit except for dumb motha fuckas like you and depressed emo kids
Regardless of your opinion on him at least he still does a live show, unlike others who make you pay a small fortune to hear their album played through massive speakers and have the nerve to call it a concert.
What a gay Jimi Hendrix/Clapton wannabe... HE SUCKS. I Would up there shredding away on my strat, doing hammer ons and wild whammy tricks. What ever happened to rock?
First of all stop talking out of your ass. John Mayer has his own style of playing and just because its not the same genre of music you listen to doesn't mean you have to be a prick about it.
Very ill informed. Certainly he has used elements from these guys but even those guys weren't originals. John overall has a diverse style way different from either of those guys
shawn dont be a fuk hed... seriously ur jelous or what hes made alot outta nothin and what ur doin a 9-5 job? johns making a name for himself and u.... ur just another ant in the hill...
Thats where you're wrong grasshopper. I met John Mayer before you even knew who he was. He was a tool then and he's a tool now and you my good friend... you're still an idiot
HOW DID YOU KNOW?? OMG! YOU MUST HAVE BEEN THERE!!!! actually I didn't know he was a tool til he did speak to me- you're full of wrong assumptions tonight, you should probably stop while you still have a little dignity
and now he's making millions of dollars, become an excellent guitarist and has the choice between more women than any of us losers on youtube put together. Hes a hell of a tool
Yeah, superb camera used.. What brand is it? It zooms in and out every second.. GREAT !!
