In my opinion the live in la version is better
man i cant decide which i like more, for me the ideal version would be the voice of the studio version and the guitar playing of live in la
James Bannan the live in LA solo tone is why I have a strat!
James Bannan way better bro, I agree.
I think when he is testing out his Two-Rock signature prototype is my favorite tone of his. It's probably my favorite piece of playing from him as well.
facts
Tone is everything, which is why I sound like a dying cat when I play.
Yes. Thats the reason.
I sound like a pregnant moose when I play.
What setup do you use? My rubber bands across a tissue box can’t even come close to that dying cat sound.
@@robertfpjr thats sexy as hell. Take me
Yeah... That's why
John said himself, when he was demoing the PRS Silver Sky, that he rolls the volume knob down to 9 to roll off the highs for his “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” tone. He also said that he uses that song as a reference for the neck-middle split on Strats. Definitely an iconic sound, even to his ear.
John Mayer: "I always hated the sound of midrange and started rolling off the tone on all my Strats down to 5"
Tyler: "I'm gonna go and boost the mids" :D
Scoop the mids definitely falls under Mayer Tone 101!
Yeah, honestly. JM, at least in that song, is sans mids. Not sure why this guy's first instinct is to boost the mids lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the PRS interview John Mayer did, he said he turned around on midrange, and loves the middle pick up now.
@@NeonLeonNoel True, but he said he thinks the middle Pickup in his Silver sky is now finally usable. It's still by far not his signature sound. His Dumbles and Two Rocks Have the middle and bass around three whilst the treble is at like 9. He also turns off his tone controls half way on his guitar and even has the silver sky pick ups engineered in the way to sound rolled off, because he doesn't enjoy the mids he gets from normal single coils. So if you want to nail his slow dancing tone you're definitely better off to scoop the kids.
@@NeonLeonNoel That comes playing with Dead & Co. Jerry loved the middle pickup.
Anything John Mayer related I'll watch.
John Mayer in the title
Any comment with John Mayer i’ll read
Same
My favorite guitarist for sure
which is why so many guitar channels feature him. click bait.
Tyler this is a really cool idea for a video series! Maybe you could do some on more artists? For example Hunting the tone of James Hetfield Steve Vai Jimi Hendrix all those guys have pretty interesting guitar tone also a good way to learn about amps and pedals and settings
Bill McElgunn
If you want Jimi‘ s tone, check out the TH-cam channel Millstap he nails it to a tee!
I’m 100% in on that series
Look up dave Simpson's series "how many tones can you get out of the orange cr120"
Could you do a synyester gates tone chase?
Don't forget Eric Johnson
Do comfortably numb next
@Sourav Biswas fuzz and tons of reverb
@@tnikoli40 and a fender stratocaster!
@@cheekyboy5000 not necessary.
Can be done on a les paul

Play in E with delay and reverb
I think this guy likes john mayer
sasha bowers who doesn’t?
No shit, sherlock
@@salatieljyrustumanan4929 It was irony
@@iamanactualcat not really a bash to your comment. Just seems obvious enough
@@salatieljyrustumanan4929 IT WAS A JOKE CALM THE FUCK D O W N
I tried slow dancing in a burning room. The fire got so hot that I ended up slow burning in a dancing room...
Very good , Mate . That's the first laugh for the Week !
Mayer has mentioned in a few interviews that he rolls the tone on the guitar between 5-8 (never 10), depending on the strings, venue, the life of the tubes, etc.
Um no, do your research
Just remember that his pickups have some difference in tone, in therms of frequencies
Nerf__Operator29 watch the silver sky demo. He actually claims to have never used a strat past 5 on tone knobs because he thinks the frequency range after 5 is unusable
Interesting when I play my strat I can't take neck or middle above 7 or 8 and bridge maybe 6. Eric Johnson amazing strat tone may not have tone knobs rolled of but his Marshall tubescreamer and tube driver all have mids or tone on zero and it sounds incredible
Nerf__Operator29
He actually did his research, you on the other hand....
You have to do this with bohemian rhapsody. The tone on the solo is my ideal tone, simply amazing. The guitar sounds like a powerful engine, at least to me
Check Andertons "Sound like" videos !
There is a guy called HarryAndAGuitar who made already great video on that song, check it out mate.
That’s the world of Vox AC30
Sanderson Martins oh ye, Brian mays tone (not specifically talking about his finger tone) is incredible
Pickups wired in serial out of phase of 90° pluged into a treble booster and a germanium transistor amp
Cool to see John Mayer finally getting recognized for his tone and general musicality.
Who's John Mayer??
Lol John mayer gets alot of praise already
where have you been? John is widely recognized as a fantastic musician and guitarist.
People have been chasing John's tone for 15 years
What do you mean finally... lmao
I am convinced that "Tone" Is just "How much reverb can I get away with?".
Please do Cliffs Of Dover next. That tone is eargasm
@@benfennell6842 ikr
Oh please
Uman ...i have in my channel
@@ketutgitar isnt it pretty much a Fender Twin with a Fuzz Face and an Echoplex?
It's impossible, unless Eric Johnson does it himself.
'John Mayer in the title experiment' continues...
Sick video!!!
My god the playing at the end was amazing!!! LOVE the tone you got from that setup too. Brilliant stuff.
The intro was always throwing me off, as I couldn't realize how the first note sounded off when I played it back. It was cool that you found out that it was a finger tone and now my life is complete. thank you
If JHS isn't paying you for this, they should. This is literally the best demo of what this pedal can do that I've seen so far. Well done. John Mayer is a tone master and you pretty much nailed it.
You are a very talented man. That solo at the end I was getting into it just as it ended. I’d like to hear more improvisations from yourself. Lovely.
dude i never realized how good of a guitarist u really are until now. jeez bro rock on 🤘🏼
At 6:37 he sounds more like Knophler than Mayer
I love watching videos like this. This gentleman is top class, on a level most people will never reach. That being said it shows you why John Mayer is considered one of the greatest of all time. That’s not A put down it’s a put up for John Mayer and why he’s one of the greatest of our generation.
Finally Happy to see valuable video. Not big fan of funny vids from stores, so I started to skip your movies, but with this it’s getting my attention back, this is important to share your knowledge, way more than make fun with funny stories.
Thank you Tyler
I went to your TH-cam channel when you were about 25k subscribers. Now you 617k! Congrats man you deserved more! Great content as always
John mayers tone is always so juicy man. Even his earlier stuff, if you listen to the solo on city love. I never understand how he can get that clarity with also the low end quality. Maybe some dynamic compression or something in the studio. Plus he's basically mastered the feel of that straty sound with his delicate touch.
A lot of the clarity comes from playing super clean and tidy, as well as rolling back tone and volume a tiny bit to supress noice without using a noice gate.
DO MORE TONE HUNTING VIDEOS!!! These are so fun to watch and help me affect my tone in ways I woulda never thought to try
My God Tyler, that was fucking badass. To tastefully show off to that degree of technical prowess on the fretboard is an accomplishment in its own right. Keep kicking ass brother!
Man, you're a seriously badasss guitarist. Thanks for sharing and happy new year!
I’m a simple man I see John Mayer in the title I click
Eduardo Pereyra Same man, John is amazing.
Eduardo Pereyra We still doing this robot comment? Well at least you didn’t say “I click like.”
I also am a simple man I see John Mayer in a comment I like
That’s what he wants you to do man
Longest ad I’ve ever watch
Dude is just flexing all his shit just to show everyone how much more shit he has than everyone else. Guy is a total tool bag
@@DbolOnlyGangster awee jealous?
Allen Sosa not even at least I have my money still lmfao
Allen Sosa Phillip McKnight is the most humble gear head on TH-cam. Phillip McKnight and Paul Davids over this guy any day
@@DbolOnlyGangster cant really see where he is flexing
Pretty sure he just explaining his gear
The jam at the end was beautiful! Thank you!
Sooovamazingly done! I was itching to hear that high guitar harmony on the riff tho! Sooo well done ✅ I love this channel
This tone nails it… I don’t think people realize the bass on the first note is half of the feeling that hits me deep with this song tone. The guitar is pure but that bass with the guitar is what I love.
13:59 what the hell did you there? Nice thou...
really like these! It's fun and interesting to try and get close to tones, I remember back when i had my Hot Rod deluxe it's something we used to talk about after shows, Pedals, Strings, Amps that the guys we all listened to played and even each other in the blues circuit in my town. I found myself seeing what i could get out of my amp. It reminds me of talking shop over drinks after the gig ended. You can learn a lot from old blues cats. I ended up going home putting on blues records and taking apart tones. Cool way to find your own tone as well
Nailed it! I've been working for that tone for awhile, but didn't have your extra pedal choice..
The playing at around 7 - 8 mins reminds me alot of knopflers tbh, sounds great!
Slow dancing in a burning room was recorded on a Two Rock amp i believe.
Mad skills man I love your personality of playing absolutely beautiful keep it up bro 😎🤘
Coincidentally I've been researching the Mayer tone extensively for the last couple of days. What a surprise when I saw this in my feed, posted 29 minutes ago. Nice one, mate.
I was sucked in by the title, and then discovered a brilliant demonstration for a new product!
"tone is all in the gear man. The more you spend the better you'll be"
-SRV
i was JUST looking for a similar tone as i am learning the song myself! thanks!
I was just learning this, this morning! Perfect timing
I hoped to see John himself in the video... I saw too much of your latest Instgram post haha
what was in the IG post?
@@M7M777777 Tyler with Betahny and John Mayer
A guitar tone that's always really intrigued me is on the guitar solo from "The A-Team" by Ed Sheeran.
Not a particularly noteworthy guitar jam, but the solo in that song, coming out of nowhere with it's echo-y, punchy, slightly distorted "je ne sais quoi" of a tone is killer.
What you played at the end was REALLY good!
It's one of the sickest tones ever recorded... no doubt. John's a sound genius and has unbelievable sound engineers so ya that's how that comes. What's amazing is not only the killer riff but how to get to that. Truly genius.
I thought about this tone a long time. You're close, but I think you would've come closer with a compressor either instead or in conjunction with the JHS-Pedal. Mayers sound is pretty compressed and has a lot sustain for a clean tone.
yeah i agree theres a clap like sound that is generated in burning room
Yep . I think a lot of People mistake his Sustain for heaps of reverb . Does that sound like I know what I'm talking about ? Where's my fucken Bong gone ?.......
more chasing guitar tones episode please!
Great feel. This is the first video of yours I’ve actually watched from beginning to end lol
Smooth! Great video. Nice work on the improv.
Could you do this for Stevie Ray Vaughan? Pleaseeeeee
As far as I know SRV just set everything to max.
genius
Turn it all to 11
He’d need those Texas Specials back in his guitar. Dunno why he removed them to begin with, but ig some people just don’t like custom shop pickups.
Marshall w a tube screamer and texas specials in the strat will work
Drop your mids. I think I've listened to this song 20,000 or more times.
Awesome vid and tones very impressed with your playing 👍🔥🎸🦅
You’re amazing bro!
I love your content
Aren't you supposed to disclose when something is an advertisement?
alphabetterthanu yeah man so clearly the whole vid is an excuse to advertise the clover, and comparing a quiet weak signal with the louder boosted pedal tone is so misleading cause any big volume jump will sound “better” and livelier
Huh, JHS at the forefront, in depth features, link in description... I smell a sponsor.
That was some really nice playing there. Looked like a ton of fun
Outstanding! I’d love to see you chase the tone on John Mayer’s solo on ‘Guess I Just Feel Like”! 🙏
That was a pretty shameless plug for that JHS pedal, wouldn't you say?
Hey Tyler I would scoop the mids it’ll add that little extra Mayer flavor
And frickin phenomenal playing at the end wow!
excellent work you captured the sonic interrogations very well on that tone, I've been wondering since 10 years + how this organic strat sound was made in Continuum. thanks !
13:19 and that sound is why I love guitar
13:26 too, amazing!
Only things you need: Expensive watch, Gel for hair, Guitar face, Stylish clothes. (Not bashing John -- love him.)
Love your videos man.
Awesome jam at the end brother!
I find plugging a strat straight into a fender amp with some reverb to be just fine...
yip
I like how some people say tone is in the finger and then touch his amp as it was a transformer..guys/ladies..if i would put it in number i would say is a 50/50 finger an gear.
Or maybe you can say is 80% finger or anything it depends on the situation. If i put 10 great guitarrist together and put them to play the most simple thing in the most simple way they would sound different, a bb king bend is not like a gilmour etc etc.
Also, it would be boring if we all sound the same, i guess we all love to try and search for a tone that make you feel something, how many times you managed to get a different tone you never reached and because of that inspiration you created a new song.
Idk if is the case here (which i dont think so), but im tired of the overlook about the tone most of the time with the saying 'is in the finger' which is true in a lot of cases and not true in a lot others.
The amp is like the voice of a person, they all can be manage to sound different and there is the cool stuff.
I believe sometimes people misunderstand the both meaning, the ability to play certain way, like a pro, is gonna make almost any tone you use, to actually work, that doesnt mean tone is innthe finger ( i know this is like qn obvious argument) but put say it sometimes as if they really mean to. Tone is the sound you work in your amp, nothing more, the fact that you can actually sound good with your skills doesnt change anything. There are a lot of normal players that make great songs because of the tone and not ability.
I think is like we wanna keep it flashy and emotional and stuff like that, but for me is very simple.

Tone is in the amp
Facts.
Agreed. If I'm playing a LP with distortion then I'm not getting close to this tone. People reference fingers too much, fingers and playing abilities make for great phrasing ect but not tone
NAILED IT... That was AWRSOME Tyler.
Great version, great additions, well done👍🏻
When you do the guitar slap, you should stop the drums and everything (12:39)... That would sound awesome!!!! But u know what, im not complaining haha this cover fucking rocks! Nice One
The issue is that your clover has a substantial volume boost as well. Almost anything sounds better with a higher volume. An objective tone comparison should try to elimate differences in volume imo.
That ending was insane haha just learned the intro and yours inspired me to learn more
Subbed man, really enjoyed that and I could tell you did too. I'd love to see more of these tone chasing vids!
Texas flood tone hunting next?
Wasn't John using his custom Two-Rock amps when he recorded Continuum?
Indeed, but this song was recorded using a fender deluxe. Go to John Mayer gear on Instagram. Great page for Mayer knowledge.
I dunno man, I was just settling in for the ride. Now I gotta go tone chasing other things to make up for this journey being over too soon. Happy yet sad at the same time. Thanks, Tyler. This video, strangely enough, saved me today. Maybe not to that extreme, but I was definitely needing this motivation to get myself out of my head
I don't trust myself is definetely a video you should do. What a really unic tone! Great video too
Do comfortably numb please
1:40 THE DOOO lol
The
Dooo
?
@@matthewtalafous2004 it's a youtuber
Punks not Dead what does that have to do with the dooo
The Meme Dream Team the dooo doesn’t show his face and only shows his lower half and guitar so it looked like him
Love the way you play and your persona makes me smile because you don’t take yourself too serious. Your tutorial on Rock w You is unbelievable and has saved me much embarrassment although I still suck at the whole song vocally and guitar wise but they’re going to have to deal with it because I’m doing the damn song even if I suck at it. 👀
Thank you for doing this. I've always loved that tone and wanted to achieve that sound. I second Bill McElgunn's comment about doing a series of these "tone" videos.
I think the tone you got sounds great but I listened to the recording and I think it's sounds really different. I think you over emphasized the mids and took out too much bass. But regardless your tone still sounds awesome :)
and meet him at NAMM as I know
Nice work Tyler! That was great! Sounded similar to the Live in LA tone
How am I only finding this video now! Love it!
Do chasing Mac Demarco's tone
btm wtfb wow great opinion! Very helpful
How to sound like Mac Demarco :: scratchy singing. Whammy bar crap tons of reverb so it can sound pretty without effort, and chorus pedals. Lots of chorus pedals.
btm wtfb Yikes man, chill out
People are dicks. Honestly just get yourself a chorus pedal and then the intensity and speed all the way up and throw on lots of reverb with a single coil guitar with a clean tone. That’s about it.
why all the Mac hate, he writes genuinely good songs. He’s minimalist with the guitar, when he solos though it speaks very clearly and his phrasing is very musical. His somgwriting is why we love him
Hell yeah why not Tyler
Sweet session. Love it
A good day to upload this video seeing as you met him yesterday 👍🏻
Great idea for a video Tyler, maybe you can do a series with other artists?
Mayer's pups were scooped around this Era. So let's boost the mids. Sounds about right.
What kind of finish is on your guitar
Sierra Sunburst
STEPHEN BENNETT satin hand stained honeyburst it’s a limited edition they did a few years back
Fantastic video. Feel like I truly learned so much
The jam at the end was exquisite man! Tasty af
Challenge: Money For Nothing
Funny because in a interview Mark said he doesnt remember how he got that tone and also doesnt remember how exactly he did the riff.
@@juannunez4436 you got a link to that? I'd love to watch it!
@@jdavidmoreiraify gimme a min, he talks about that in a interview of that particular song, honna check videos now
LES PAUL
Isn’t that a Les Paul, Marshall, and a wah pedal pushed down halfway with the tone knobs on the guitar at halfway?
That’s what I use to play it
wait a minute, THAT AMP GOES TO 12 WHAT
WHY 12 JUST MAKE 10 LOUDER
ITS LIKE SPINAL TAP BUT OVER THE TOP
12 hours
Oh dayum! Love it! Though it’s videos like these where I ask, will we see some tunes like an EP or a full album sometime soon? Haha I know you mentioned at one point you might. Your playing is great and the tones you make are delicious! Thanks!
OMG! That start is so beautiful
