This is what daughters would sound like if it was on the continuum album.

Dude, AWESOME. I think this for one shows John's incredible writing ability. He really wants to make the song perfect when he writes it. Secondly, I think if John had a say in his early albums it would have more of this feel. It is still laid back and has pop elements in it but it mixes in a little blues-rock element that makes it soulful. This is the real John Mayer genre. More "Continiumish" as markitymark90 said.

@KovieMatt You seem to be talking about yourself when you say "misinformed". Mayer is sliding up to a note just past his vocal bridge on that one and you mistake it as auto-tune.

So are you willfully ignorant or just lazy and/or dumb?

[KovieMatt]

@sirfreakish Sigh... it's disappointing just how misinformed people are about auto-tune. I don't particularly like it, but seriously... Are you willfully ignorant or just lazy and/or dumb?

@KovieMatt LOL that's not auto-tune buddy.

Looks like you need to hit up some T-Pain videos for a crash course on auto-tune.

@KovieMatt What autotune? There is clearly no autotune here. Just brilliance.

This solo is of the hook!

@KovieMatt

Haha that's not autotune, that's - as Jackb0b1 says - falsetto, and one that he just dosen't do very well here.

If you can't even hear the difference between technique and production tools...

First of:

I don't know where you all get the idea of him saying he used autotune - yeah he has said in the ustream that he uses autotune, but that was fuckin ironically ment! I'm more than sure that he polish the vocals when mixing, that's common, but i've seen him live and i'm 99% positive that there's no autotune, and if there is it's not the autotune t-pain uses that's for sure...

[Jackb0b1]

@KovieMatt It's called falsetto. It's not autotune.

@KovieMatt but remember this is a home demo so he wasnt able to record a production quality track it was meant to just record a "rough draft" for the song thats why some lyrics are muttered, he didnt have the lyrics down yet
