Something For The Playaz

- I thought it would be cool to share a bit of what I've been putting together on the guitar lately... My guitar teacher lingo is terrible, so I'm sorry if you know the word I go for before I do... ("position" up and down the neck is what I was searching for)... I've been listening to a lot more of the earlier blues players lately and I'm digging a more "stately" approach to soloing.
"all you gotta do is.." *epic guitar solo* "and then all you do is" *another epic guitar solo*
haha i know right. it's THAT simple?
This is my favorite comment of all time.
true
LOL so true
He made neon!
Quality youtuber, definitely hope he branches out
he has a tv show on instagram now ;)
Bonga Khumalo I heard about this, something about some currents and some moods was it?
I heard he made some things happen for himself.
Yeah, I heard he released a few songs as well
We need more For The Playaz!
TinyGamers we so dooooo
Seriously, how lucky are we to have him just casually share his craft like this? Top notch.
Yeah you're pretty good but can you play Neon?
nah.. he's not that good.
Sagar Bajaj oh, what a shame.
He made neon!
He invented it.
@@prasantaghosh4957 trueee
3:21 John's hands ran out of strings
Hahaha
Time to buy him an 8-string
this guy is good, does he do weddings?
He's a mainstream music artist, so unless you'd know him personally, I highly doubt anyone could get him at your wedding unfortunately!
Check out his VEVO channel on here, that's the main channel of his.
His schedule is kinda full; but you can call Clapton and see if he’s free? :)
Lol! Yeah, he's OK isn't he? Haha!
Nope. He specializes in bar mitzvahs though.
Lmao if he does play at your wedding, the girl is not gonna marry you for sure.
I come back to this video way too often
So do I. I was already kind of familiar with what he is talking about but for some reason having a refresher lesson from him is pretty damn cool. I really wish he would do this type of thing more often... or at least gear videos. He has A LOT of fans who are guitar players who would love to see that kind of thing.
Brandon Look guilty
here I am yet again
As you can see, the "Mayer faces" he always has on stage is not just for show. This man is deep. He really gets into his guitar playing, as you can tell, and he just grooves with it. The guy is awesome.
making faces when you play guitar isn't a deep thing. Literally the dumbest thing Iv'e ever heard about playing an instrument.
maybe not deep, I think she was meaning that john isn't putting out an image that sells like "the weird faced sexy guitarist" guy. when he makes those faces he's really deep into the groove and feeling the music with passion. Not trying to put words into Anna's mouth though. Don't gotta be a dick about it buddy.
Well it is a deep thing, whether you agree with it or not.... It brings out expressions that are practically uncontrollable. Mr Mayer himself would agree.....if you play yourself and don't get into it deeply, well I don't know then man. haha
Actually he has a condition he had to get surgery something like that
@@ltzp2 so you don’t play guitar
I didn't know I was watching John Mayer this whole time lol... I was thinking who the hell is this guy. He is way better than anyone I've ever met
Great to find this type of material from the source. My 16 year old son and I are huge fans, and are working on learning many of Mr Mayer's songs.
I know people have written pretty rough reviews of some of the his remarks, but when you really listen to the lyrics of his music, preferably in a chronological order, I like to think I get an understanding of how he made them. As a quick minded young person, especially one who spends a lot of time alone, it can become a habit for your brain to run ahead of the filter for your mouth. Or perhaps I'm full of crap, but this is what I chose to believe.
Ether way, when a person shares their time and passion with others, with no reward other then the joy of sharing, I think that says a lot about them.
The teaser release of the new song, "Love on the weekend" seems to be pretty popular, and we are hoping the rest of the material is consistent with that feeling of seeing hints into the creative mind of what we believe to be the best singer/songwriter/guitarist of our generation.
Thanks Mr. Mayer for sharing,
John and Corwin
John Throngard your post made me genuinely happy man... not only do i totally agree with it I really love how you and your son can bond over this. Carry on man!
Wholesome 💙
I learned an "E" chord today...
2020 gang
teach me !!!!!!!!
Was it worth it?
Noice
🤣
Not evey top musicians gives free lesson like john mayer, respect....
Cant believe i have never seen this until now. A lesson from the master....
WTF I just found this also. Really cool he does this.
Josh P lol, you never headrd of different scale positions or what
+Anton St he means the video...
But.. i found this now O_o
I honestly wish he would make a series called "For The Playaz". I would watch that day and night!
This guy is going places
Nuraddin Sabrie no he isn't
I'm pretty sure he's kidding.....
Finn Demaco What?....it is John Mayer dumbass
Ben Fowler nope
you're a nope
best blues guitarist of the new age
jay_ar Tabotabo Derek trucks though...
Olle Bridal Derek Trucks isn’t a blues guitarist tho.
Derek trucks and him
Greenwood Mills what is he then
Those you all mentioned probably had their time. But this is his time I would say.
I've been watching this video for 10 years and it still makes me smile. He just loves guitar so much it's awesome to watch.
Hey it's Marty Schwartz from guitarjamz.com
Lmaao
Love that guy lol
His guitar is worth more than the potatoe camera he recorded with
george brundish probably worth more than my car, and house put together.
+James Florin a 335 gibson only goes up to around $5,000.
"only"
🥔🎥 FTW
Yeah and this was recorded in 2009 soo
Man this may be what I needed. I've been in a serious rut with my soloing probably for the last 2 years or so. ive just had a hard toime branching out and away from some of my really comfortable habits. I like this.
Over 10 Years later! Who is still here? :D
Looking forward to be hearing more blues stuff on your new record! Keep up the amazing work. You're the inspiration John!
He’s pretty good. He could probably make a career as a session musician or something.
That’s funny because no guitarist can make it on a solo career 🗿
😂😂😂
Bro wtf he has already a musical career
@@nehemiahzo_ thats literally what john mayer has done lol
@@Rothley131gamezz clearly the joke went over your head
Jimi and Stevie are looking down and smiling.
Well jimi is probably looking up..
Awsomesauce4me savage
This is more B.B. King style. Jimi and Stevie played with a more "harsh" sound, whereas this is smoother, and the lines are more like B.B.'s
Jimi's too busy in the next universe over blowing them away
NateMantle Listen to Stevie's cover of "Done Lost Your Good Thing Now" Yeah, it's a B.B king song. But the phrasing he's doing here sound more like Stevie's cover.
this 4 minute video has done more to help me to understand what escaping the box is and how it opens up your playing than my last year of lessons
John this just unlocked a key to blues that I didn't have before. You fucking rule man
That’s the kinda tip that you only get from very experienced players. Thank you John for sharing the knowledge! I really appreciate it!
John, thank you so much, this really helped me, also learn quite a bit by watching your subtle nuances. Please make more when you have time, cant' wait to see you again soon (Toronto)…
God Bless,
Jeff
wow im so glad you put this up. i always used to feel like i was alone when i would get sick of playing the same riffs over and over again, and at the end when you described stopping playing to refresh, its what i do pretty much and it just makes you seem all that much more human.
John, I've admired your guitar playing since your first album. Sharing this knowledge with the crowd proves just once more how great an artist you are. In body and mind.
Thankyou for the teachings Jon
Mike Tomlins he's a good teacher
You're the real guitar hero Mr. Mayer!!!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Really nice mr. mayer;)
I play for about.. 13years now and it is really simple what you just told about that "moving up and down the neck with the same scale-thing" about the difference in toneshape... its really some sort of extra that separates you from most of the players.. I once noticed that it indeed sounds a bit different.. I play a lot of styles and it works everywhere ofcourse, but in blues it really makes a great difference!
THX John a lot of people are happy with these lessons!
Wow man, keep it up and you will be famous one day!
Thank you for your ALS challenge. Gotta say, a wet T-shirt has never looked so good! My uncle who was a Phoenix police officer until he succumbed to ALS thanks you for your efforts in raising awareness. I've been a fan of yours for decades. So thank you! However, you need a west coast D&C tour next year. See you New Years! ✌💙⚡❤
I like to get stuck in rutts then just PRETEND im playing more complicated stuff by adding delay and wah....
yea...i do that.
Remember this?
Do you still do it 12 years later?!
@@jwaj it’s an important question
We still need to know!!!
mmm.....music to my ears.....Sounds very nice! :)
You're the best!!!!!
Thanx John
amazing mr mayer.....we need more artist to do this so people know that no matter how good u are there is always room to improve and grow as a musician.
I love the way you are in touch with musicians and fans at home - it makes listening to your talents all the more sweeter knowing you respect your audience as fellow music lovers and learners. Good on you mate!
Thank you John ! Do more of these !
I like this because it's learning something different and getting "out of the box" like you said. I hadn't really thought about it that way.
Most people, if they wrote tunes as great as the ones he writes, would rest on those songwriting laurels. This is why John Mayer is the musician he is......always thinking about how to get better. Much respect!
Every serious musician is always focused on getting better, no matter how good at techniques or songwriting etc they are.
DO THIS MORE OFTEN. It is a dream come true to have a mini guitar lesson from Mayer himself. Thank you.
this guitar costs more than my house
+mr marshall you got a $3500 house?
no,i'ts becuase i live in braazil ;D huhuehuehuehue
+TheAmaterazzzu mayers ES-335 is definetly more expensive than 3.400$
I think it's about 5.000$
maxsmssn no man, you can actually get one for 2000 still
TheAmaterazzzu yeah, but John Mayer would always buy a premium es-335 because he has the money
Gracias Juanito!!! I needed this. I’m 7 months in to learning which has now become an obsession. Ciao!
ever thought about using that voice for singing ?
vhollund ummm he does
*whoosh*
No he sings with a different voice
...have u really never heard of jhon Mayer sing..or u just too sarcastic
I was just joking
john u are by far one of my greatest influences musically in my life. u and srv have kept my interest so solid. I just wanna thank u.
Not here yet. Is a lot to digest, but i keep this in mind, once i can digest this, i come back. Rewatch the whole thing all over again. Imma subscribe. Fujita lead me here. LOL.
Really relate to this comment!
that happens to me all the time, but it never comes out dead on same. theres always a twist. and I think that twist, provided by distance from the original track, allows us to make something new. i think you just described a big part of what originality truly is.
"And why that is"
...
That was really quite generous of you to share those insights, thank you.
ML
Gotta love how every 5 seconds in between talking he just casually bangs out a riff that takes your brain like 10 full seconds to process and then you miss out on whatever he says next
Oh. Thanks a lot! It's like you were answer a specific question of mine. I've been caught on the "Texas Flood" licks forever, and as you pointed out (esp. on a strat) that can get pretty redundant. A trick I often use is flipping to the neck/middle P-up and picking with my thumb. That was my way of taking care of the "ring!" Thanks so much the tip.
So then you're here in the A pentatonic and all you have to do is [rips a blues riff normal guitarists can only dream about] and then you're already to the D pentatonic there
And that was when I threw my guitar out the window
Just a stock BB King lick but John makes it sound so damn good
@@greenwoodmills1381 yeah you’re real, I knew someone would question this
Found this very informative , Thanks John !
You should do more video with playing tips like this video
Seen this once and didn't have a clue.. come back every few months to try make sense of it and it sort of is after learning so much of his stuff. Thanks JM
mayer is a god.
We were right about this guy.
See, I think for a living, and don't play guitar, so the esoteric stuff may be lost on me, but..... What I can tell you is that it the rare gift -- THE absolute harbinger of intrinsic talent -- that may grow into genius, is the one that knows to share.
We were right about this guy. We are fortunate to watch him grow.
I've been wishing forever that he would put out some guitar lesson videos for us guitar playing fans!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!!!!!!!!
Well unfortunately thís was 7 years ago...
This is a reupload so it's understandable
As in he may have hidden it and now put it back on for the public
Dude....I could listen to what he just did for HOURS and never get bored.... I am so glad that I decided to sit down and give Mayer a chance. He is starting to inspire me to really put more effort into playing the Guitar, and I’ve been playing for almost 4 years!
Thank you very much
It's cool that a man like Mr. Mayer is willing to share with us!
Seriously good tone.
Exactly why I love your music!
I think Tomo taught us this back in the day!
You know your shit, I buy it. Cool. 😯
jesus, to just be able to riff like that without even thinking about it. amazing
Thanks, John Mayer.
john, for me u wil always be the best guitar player of all time, thanks for the insight it really helps a lot to make my head click with all these little tips and tricks
"tags: John King Mayer"
awesome!
It's really great to here that there is still a musical artist out there that actaully KNOWS MUSIC and can tell the difference between tones. I love you.
I remember as I was learning the pentatonic scale all of those riffs he's playing just came naturally to me probably because I heard them so much on the radio has anyone else experienced this? replies welcome
mike HAS THOUGHTS That happens to everyone dumbass
dont think you're special
It means you are playing with your ears, that's a good sign!
REV DeLeon you are obviously very angry at somebody I don't know why you need to take it out on me calling me a dumbass is not going to really let you know make me feel better or anything it just going to let me know that you have insecurities
Thanks John for this vid. I always try to find ways to get outta the same box all the time. And it helps me to watch and listen to another guitarist because I instantly get ideas and I try and branch off of the norm a bit and it helps greatly. Thanks again. Huge fan.
Dude, You're Insane -_-
This video was really encouraging! The fact that you stopped playing for a while and still play really good, just gives me hope and not to feel bad for not playing for a while too. I won't be doubting my playing efforts to much now.
Sounds very Peter Green
That's just because P.G. was amazing... And so is J.M. :D
Thanks John... Very special to see this kind of stuff
just did a fuckin 8 ball thought i better show you guitarplayrz outhere what i been messing with rel quick
Thanks John, I'm gonna be fiddling around with that concept some more. It is really crazy, how you can get so caught up in a scale, that you rely on it so heavily.
This video is 3:55 long. Coincidence? I think not.
PS Yes I'm aware that once you open it, it's 3:54.
Anyone watching this in August 2020? great content for practicing guitar during quarantine.
why did i get this recommended
THANKYOU SO MUCH JOHN !!! for me at the moment he is the best guitarrist in the world , better than going fast and all that shit , love the way he expresses himself with the guitar , just amazing. John should be inspiration to us all
"Hey did you know you can pay the same notes in several places and the sound changes?"
Wtf this is probably the most basic shit he could ever teach
true. Still a good player though
Agreed. But, getting out of the box in simple ways that are easy to locate will be a point of breakthrough for those approaching an intermediate level. Also, its good when one can be mindful of dynamic differentiation up and down the board while also being aware of how standard licks feel in different positions.
John, after all the success you've had...to be here sharing insight on Blues guitar is why I love you man! Also, the trio is awesome!!!
Enter your text here
thank you so much for being a great artist and being friendly and able to talk and communitcate with fans like you have on youtube, its amazing :D
John,
Thanks. I'm a big guitar fan, fan of your playing, student of guitar.
I'd really like to hear more of this type thing.
Thanks from Phoenix,
Wayne
What I would give to be a good enough playa to play anything you just played. Well my soul. I'd give my soul.
The idea that your next album might be influenced by "earlier blues" gives me chills, can.not.wait.
Thank you for having mind open to your fans. God bless you John ;)
Thanks John! I have been trying to figure stuff like this out. Thanks for the help!
John, I NEVER get tired of hearing your music... Not just singing... or just playing... THIS IS MUSIC!
Right on John, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
its amazing. you can hear him play everything.
Im starting to learn to play the guitar, and this intimidates me, but also inspires me, which is nice.
Mooooooooooore...Exactly what we want to see!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tx for sharing.
John Mayer, thanks for what you are doing in music today. I definately am making the most of the instrument in my lap. Thanks for the inspiration broham...
Man, I hope he does more of these. Really awesome to see inside his thinking of guitar playing.
this has been really helpfull to me honestly. i know what you mean when you say, my ears are getting tired of it, because, once you start playing that a penatonic in the same place, you get really tired of just palying the same little box over and over and over, kinda seem like you run out, but yeah, thank you john, it actually has a widened my playing alot.
