the guitar isn't out of tune he's just playing in E# and not E for some reason, probably just trying something new if it was out of tune he would have stopped and tuned up...
i love how he can come out with messy hair, a 15 dollar pair of shoes from wallmart, and a t shirt with cargo pant, and make 1000 girls go crazy with his voice and his guitar.
lol... it TRULY is nearly identical to 'BAD' by U2... can't blame him though, it's hard to create something COMPLETELY new these days.. but this truly sounds like a rip-off (even if he claims it's not)
Damn! John Mayer is my absolute favorite musician, but this is the worst performance of him I've ever seen! It sounds like the guitar is out of tune, and that the guitar maybe has an effect on his voice as if he cannot focus on his vocal. Does anyone agree?
@kasperhertz agreed. he can do way better than that. (we all know that) for the record, he was kinda sick that night; well at least didn't feel well. but there is more wrong than just him feeling bad - the technicians didn't do a good job in my opinion. and hell yea, who the hell tuned his guitar before the show?! my grandma does better tuning than this one!! :)
@kasperhertz ... yep... that guitar tech probly got fired, put it that way... not easy to sing with an out of tune part like that. no doubt john wishes this wasnt on the internet.
@kasperhertz Yeah, sounds a little outta tune. John's a good singer, but don't be fooled. I'm sure there's a few tweaks on his voice when he's in studio. Great musician!

I used to think John Mayer was just another one of those corny, modern pop "stars." But I have to admit, after observing his guitar playing and listening to some of his songs; I conclude that I was very mistaken. The dude's got talent!
been listening to JM for 6 yrs non-stop thanks to a husband who likes him and I have to admit...I may not LIKE him as a person but the guy has talent, voice,and guitar to match he has won me over...took my hubby to this concert in Newcastle and I really enjoyed it although I didn't expect to....He's awesome as a muso!!
If I was john mayer I would be offended about the amount of women who just show up to scream and point. that shows that they are not Mayer fans. Music is not about attraction.
John Mayer will always be one of the most amazing musicians of all time. He is a man and men make mistakes. However, as a musician, he is flawless, creative, and absolutely amazing with those strings.
You people are stupid.. period.. John Mayer is a freaking musical genius. His songs and the meaning to them are amazing. If you dont like him or have anything GOOD to say about him and his amazing music then dont say anything at all. Grow up and go somewhere else...
you must be white/gay, you are a moron, he is a theif and a straight up racist and a loser? GET....can you guess the next word all knowing one? who then shall we follow on our quest to general ignorance and homophobia? you from american by any chance you monumentally stupid and generally ignorant moron?
haha, if John Mayer was racist he wouldnt have 4 of his band members be black. Seriously. He didn't even use the "N" word as a racist statement. Haters get over it. To the people who think he has no talent, I would love for you to sing, play guitar, or write songs half as good as he does. It's ok if you don't like his music, but don't say he doesn't have any talent, or just stay off of his videos, it makes no sense when you hate on somebody but still watch their videos
Haha to all the haters out here especially lekeesha... I'm sure John Mayer could give to big shits what someone like you thinks about him. The guy's famous, can play decent guitar and is making millions. Yeah I'm really sure he cares what you think about his music.
@lekesha00 You know, if you bothered to actually look deeper into any of the claims you're making, you'd realize he's neither a racist nor a thief, and isn't only existent because of a rich white-girl fan base, but because there are people out there (of all races, male and female) who appreciate talented musicians who make good music in this day in age. You don't have to like him OR his music, but you also don't have to make comments that make you sound like an ignorant douchebag.
it doesn't matter if he has an african american drummer or not. he is a straight up racist and thief of other peoples music. his words and actions speak for themselves. wake up moron.
who's he stolen from? i'm not diggin into you or anythin, but awhile ago i didn't like john mayer at all, prefered to stick to old blues, allman brothers etc....but now i dig his music, i reckon i was wrong about him......
@Talesofspace8 this song is stolen from U2. listen to the song 'bad' and listen to this crappy song. and then tell me if this is not stolen. mayer is a racist thalent.
but man, i reckon u2 are shit, just listened to bad, pretty lame, just my opinion, don't get them, never have, never will. And like i said, i never used to like john mayer, but his guitar playin is fuckin sick, but hows he racist?
@Talesofspace8 first of all, call me mam. second of all, his comments in playboy are racist. look them up if you didn;t read. and lastlty, he stole the song from U2. i hope they sue his talentless ass.
it almost same with U2-Bad if you listen. but if you look at the music score,it is totally different. Learn music before you talk fuckingg all haters. you know nothing but just using your dirty-mother's shit-contained ear. fuckingg noob!!! john mayers not good. it just, dont say if u know nothing.
as i said. this song is 95% rip off off U2's ''bads'' i know music because i recognized it from the very beginning. you are in denial you loser. this racist creep is a thief of other peoples music.
well u dont listen to true music and john mayer is one of the ''true music icons''...now what does the industry have?lady gaga,akon kesha,death cab for cutie,eg all of whom of todays heavily influenced by technology which i don't understand the songs they produced.
if you think mayer is a true music icon, you need your head checked. he is a production of a music industry who sees him as a vechicle to get white girls in the burbs to buy into him. he has zero talent, well talent enough to be remembered in years down the road. he is another johnny bravo but atleast bravo didn't steal music and belittle women.
How funny, I'm black and I support Mayer because I know his comment wasn't racist. Read the article and read his comments on why he said what he said. Damn, people always running their mouth before they know the facts
@annml36 I'll have to agree with you.. it's not racism, it's just a matter of his own personal preference! If someone says that they like blondes better than brunettes, is that being racist? He pretty much said he prefered white girls to black girls.. I can't see any racism in that, I don't find non-caucasian girls that attractive myself, but that doesn't mean I hate them or that I feel any kind of prejudice towards them..
@annml36 - i agree with you 100% man im black also... and that shit John Mayer said was meant to be purely a joke and very parodical ....i mean you cant forget the guy wants to be a comedian and correct me if im wrong didn't he do a little stand up a while ago...give the guy a break hes an amazing musician and singer let him do what he loves to do and stop bashing him for nonsense
Thank goodness! Someone with a brain; not to mention, take a look at his band. Tell me what half of his band is.. if anyone out there really thinks he's a racist than take a look at his band. That's all I really should have to say..
@lekesha00 Come back and say he has no talent after listening to the John Mayer Trio and their TRY! CD. Now that I think about it, you'd probably find some dumb excuse to say he has no talent. Oh well.
@lekesha00 But did you listen to the TRY! CD? I'm pretty sure you didn't. Ripping off? Do you want me to go down the list of musicians that have ripped off of other musicians?
@SubsistenceSC ...he is also a bigot. mayer is a 'johnny bravo'' type. his mold was made in some record company and he fits it. their mission: for surburban white girls to buy his music. if he gained like 20 lbs and grew a beard. nobody was care nor would be get air time. sorry, the truth hurts.
@lekesha00 Have you heard him play? Like, seriously sat down and listened to his music? I don't give a damn if he was a fatass neckbearded fuck, i'd still listen to his music. Why? Because its GOOD music. He is VERY talented with a guitar, and its a shame that you're putting him down for making good shit. Put simply, you cant play guitar worth shit, he can, gtfo if you're gonna start a flame war. Especially in a video of a musician you dont even fucking like, faggot.
@brandon3467 hey loser. first of all, i'm a female. show respect. i can't help it that you have a man crush or gay attraction on some no talent. i have listened to this fool play, it's shallow music w/ no depth or soul, hmmm sounds like yourself. well, anyways, if he is such a talent, than stop stealing other peoples music as he did with this song.
@lekesha00 HAHAHAHAHAHA your so dumb....it makes me feel good about myself =) ....I just knew that Berklee let in no talent assholes like John Mayer....and hes so talent-less that they gave him 7 Grammys over the years....just cause they feel sorry for him......saying John Mayer has no talent and being a complete idiot i feel i have to clarify and tell you that was sarcastic
@lekesha00 i noticed from your comments that, for one, your musically uneducated. two, your not musically openminded. but dont feel left out. half the world isnt openminded about music. this guy has stood on stage with robert cray, ben harper, bb king, eric clapton but he doesnt have soul? and about stealing other peoples music...if you havent noticed theres no such thing as original anything in this world. the artists i listed will tell you they were influenced by others music. dumb bitch
@lekesha00 if your gonna try and make a fool outta me do it in a public forum so ppl can see your stupid ass attempt. im guessing your black from you saying hes a racist. have you noticed his band members? no you havent cuz your not paying attention. your just making a fool of yourself. you act like every single song hes made was put on mainstream radio. so im gonna stereotype you cuz your the stereotypical black. you dont know what good music is. your wrapped up in rap or "r&b".
@lekesha00 shit that doesnt have talent. some do but they all use the same thing. autotune. and your comment about respect? you dont deserve it cuz your not giving it. just cuz your a female doesnt mean shit. you think john mayer has equality issues look at what your saying. mickey mouse shit? teenagers dont listen to this and thats the biggest marketing group. why, you ask your retard self? because they listen to radio. john mayer isnt on the radio. one song maybe two from every album.
@lekesha00 im actualy in the music business. im a booking agent and have been playing instruments since i was 10. i graduated from SAE Institute of Audio Engineering. so i have come in contact with plenty of ppl who have been in the industry and they would all agree with me. your outta your fucking mind bitch. this cat is a fuckin genius with melodies and putting songs together. as a matter of fact my main instructor was Alan Shacklock. a producer of Jeff Beck. look him up
@lekesha00 in this day and age theres no such thing as stealing music or style. you are influenced. might wanna look that up too slut. i believe everyone else here would agree with me that you dont know shit. who do you listen to or think makes great music? chris brown? ludacris? drake? lil wayne? they know jack shit about good music or talent. they all have ppl to make melodies for em. and they sing or rap for 5 min. most of it being written and autotuned.
@lekesha00 sorry i dont like being personal and send messages making you look like an ass. ill do it in a public forum because you deserve no better. bob marley would be ashamed of you. oh wait....your probably someone who just thot bob marley is an icon for pot smoking. as any other musically retarded bitch fuck thinks. good luck with your effort on converting any jm fans. cuz theyre some of the smartest music fans out there. just cuz a man likes or loves jm's music doesnt make them gay. retard
@riffmeister76 music is music and nobody owns chords we all use bout the same chords for a whole bunch of different sounds and tones thats why its music. Mayer is a genius tho and needs to be hailed like all the other legends before him....zakk, buddy eric kenny, and keith urban yeah all these great guitarist play wit mayer. you dont have the legends jam with ya if ya aint any good...
@MrRider099 Dude are you mental? i was being sarcastic. ive met him. i own a Black one and yada yada yada .Long story short you are preaching to the already converted
@lekesha00 john mayer has admitted many times that he knew it sounded like u2's "bad" when he was writing it and that he probably created it subconsciously as a result of U2's song.
His drummer is black... long before he made those comments by mistake his drummer has been black and touring with Mayer.
In fact, his drummer is the co producer of his album. He made comments, it was misunderstood and he apologized. People make mistakes.
The only way to live in this world is to forgive others, so they can forgive us when we make mistakes. And his technique is from Beck, his idol is Clapton and SRV- there is no shame in referencing your idols.
he is a racist thief. this song is a total theft job from U2's ''bad'' listen to it. this moron is only existing b/c his fanbase is rich white girls from the suburbs. i don;t care who his idol is, gives him no right to steal other peoples work. if that's the case, i will make whitney houstons & arthea franklyn songs and pass them along as my own. wake up!
not only is mayer a dirty racist but he is also a thief. this song is a rip off from U2"s "in the name of love'' listen to it, it's totally stolen from bono.
I've done this in the past actually, but I've found when converting a youtube video to a dvd, because of the resolution of a video on youtube, it tends to turn out all grainy and stuff when watching it on a big tv.
Of course, your not going to get near the quality. Ive done it many times with other kinds of videos on youtube. I actually made a 2 hour dvd from youtube videos. Also it could depend on what your converting it with.
Why would liking a male musician make you gay? That was an ignorant comment. Now if you said you wanted his wiener in your butt, THAT would make you gay.
where does this whole comparison to dave matthews come from? ive never understood it....from vocals,to guitar playing,to the song writing itself i hear absolutely no similarities.
I just think its cuz he was the first one after Dave to hit the big time bearing an acoustic guitar
i like battle studies, mad heads on itunes were smashin it when i went to buy the album...its not continuum by any stretch, but its cool in its own right, i'm diggin it.
Funny when people comment on this song that probably couldn't play a simple 3 chord progression...let alone do the stuff that Mayer can pull off live..great tune by a very talented guy
I don't think the guitar is out of tune. If you listen to it again you'll here that the note on the one is sometimes in tune and sometimes not. He's just making a mistake. Bending the string a bit when he plays it.. Even guitar-gods make mistakes. Whit that said. Amazing song by in my opinion one of the most talented and true musician in music today.
there's no way to be sure. but i would be very surprised if he means to make it sound out of tune. cause it doesn't sound like the record. Then again, Hendrix had his guitare tuned half a second from original tuning. So maybe it's a guitar-genius thing haha.
@Foukez I hear some Jeff Beck in it myself, especially when I watch him play - the style of the solo and his use of the whammy bar are very Beck-ish, not to mention I think he's also playing a Jeff Beck Stratocaster (with a sticker on it)
the guitar isn't out of tune he's just playing in E# and not E for some reason, probably just trying something new if it was out of tune he would have stopped and tuned up...

@annml36 - i agree with you 100% man im black also... and that shit John Mayer said was meant to be purely a joke and very parodical ....i mean you cant forget the guy wants to be a comedian and correct me if im wrong didn't he do a little stand up a while ago...give the guy a break hes an amazing musician and singer let him do what he loves to do and stop bashing him for nonsense

Thank goodness! Someone with a brain; not to mention, take a look at his band. Tell me what half of his band is.. if anyone out there really thinks he's a racist than take a look at his band. That's all I really should have to say..

@lekesha00 Come back and say he has no talent after listening to the John Mayer Trio and their TRY! CD. Now that I think about it, you'd probably find some dumb excuse to say he has no talent. Oh well.

@SubsistenceSC not only doesn;t he have talent, he is a hack & a thief. this song is a ripoff from the U2 song 'bad'. anyone can do that.

@lekesha00 But did you listen to the TRY! CD? I'm pretty sure you didn't. Ripping off? Do you want me to go down the list of musicians that have ripped off of other musicians?

@SubsistenceSC ...he is also a bigot. mayer is a 'johnny bravo'' type. his mold was made in some record company and he fits it. their mission: for surburban white girls to buy his music. if he gained like 20 lbs and grew a beard. nobody was care nor would be get air time. sorry, the truth hurts.

@lekesha00 Have you heard him play? Like, seriously sat down and listened to his music? I don't give a damn if he was a fatass neckbearded fuck, i'd still listen to his music. Why? Because its GOOD music. He is VERY talented with a guitar, and its a shame that you're putting him down for making good shit. Put simply, you cant play guitar worth shit, he can, gtfo if you're gonna start a flame war. Especially in a video of a musician you dont even fucking like, faggot.

Delusional much? Yes, yes you fucking are.
This guy can hold the stage with BB king, no soul?
Rene Martinez, S.R.V's tech approves of this guy.

@lekesha00 shit that doesnt have talent. some do but they all use the same thing. autotune. and your comment about respect? you dont deserve it cuz your not giving it. just cuz your a female doesnt mean shit. you think john mayer has equality issues look at what your saying. mickey mouse shit? teenagers dont listen to this and thats the biggest marketing group. why, you ask your retard self? because they listen to radio. john mayer isnt on the radio. one song maybe two from every album.

His drummer is black... long before he made those comments by mistake his drummer has been black and touring with Mayer.
In fact, his drummer is the co producer of his album. He made comments, it was misunderstood and he apologized. People make mistakes.
The only way to live in this world is to forgive others, so they can forgive us when we make mistakes. And his technique is from Beck, his idol is Clapton and SRV- there is no shame in referencing your idols.
He may just love U2!

Of course, your not going to get near the quality. Ive done it many times with other kinds of videos on youtube. I actually made a 2 hour dvd from youtube videos. Also it could depend on what your converting it with.

I don't think the guitar is out of tune. If you listen to it again you'll here that the note on the one is sometimes in tune and sometimes not. He's just making a mistake. Bending the string a bit when he plays it.. Even guitar-gods make mistakes. Whit that said. Amazing song by in my opinion one of the most talented and true musician in music today.

there's no way to be sure. but i would be very surprised if he means to make it sound out of tune. cause it doesn't sound like the record. Then again, Hendrix had his guitare tuned half a second from original tuning. So maybe it's a guitar-genius thing haha.
