yo I'm going to reharm this
Yeah !!
please do
To those who are about to look it up âreharmonisationâ; taking an existing melodic line and altering the harmony that accompanies it, often seen in jazz. Love to see it Adam.
@I Adore . . . kinda thought the same, would he have "reharmed" it if John didn't share it? We won't know.
Just do it! In fact all CZcams guitar channels should do it! #harmmayer
Please write his next album
What about a complete discography?
I totally agree with the weird accent bearded guy! đ€đŒ
I agree too!
...Dutch what he said.
Iâm just here for the Paul Davidâs comments.
I heard John Mayer did a cover of this song
I triple dog dare John to cover Marys cover.
Damn!! Beat me to it
@@srsanders455 Knowing him, he probably will.
So who claims copyright on this once it's finally released? :D
John Mayer did a cover...long time ago Toto Africa he didn't like it guess he's right on track now Different lyrics but still right on time
Plot twist: Mayer's new song comes out and the algorithm automatically demonetizes it because of Mary's version.
Hahaha that would honestly be fantastic and what a tribute to Mary that'd be
đ
It did
LOL
@@merijn4440 EZ Money
Can we just appreciate John Mayer recognizing this and sharing it on instagram
Im so glad he sent me over!!
I donât know that, and actually came looking for his comment.
Yeah I think thatâs amazing he shared it, and go Mary for getting his attention!
A king.
I can't find his IG post :(
It's so nice of Mary to bring attention to smaller artists like John Mayer. (!)
đ±đ
Like Rihanna did with FourFiveSeconds and this bloke called "Paul Macartney" or smth!
Small artist!? He is a Grammy winner
@@randomrants6500 woooosh
@@merijn4440 he might not be a very well known artist nowadays but most of the artists idolise him fr.
Now that the official songs been released who else is rewatching this version again? đ
This version is actually better ngl
yep
@@christophergradiz1962 agree 100%. JM song is too close to toto and doesn't have much originality sort of all homage. This is a throwback with it's own flavour. Mary's voice is stellar.
Me, from the same country.
@@christophergradiz1962 true John mayer just likes staying poppy and rich even though he is well capable of making complex music.
10:22 is epic!!
Holy shit that's high praise, this man literally taught Mayer how to play! đđ
Tomo which root fifths!!đđ€
đ
@@aidanmackle5751 Tomo has taught and played with so many legends. He never plays unecessary notes, every note has a purpose. His use of dynamics and bends are just beautiful too. Love tomo, he has a great course too.
OMG! Sensei is here.
Mary was worried she was gonna get a copyright strike from John. He praised her work instead. Super awesome!
Where is his reaction?
@@eliashjelmseth1072 yeah same I'm trying to find it
@@eliashjelmseth1072 he put it up in an Instagram story.
@@richardharrold9736Its his label not him if I understand correctly
@@nathanielvalla6142 yup that is correct
Ha ha!! Canât wait to hear the new JM single to see how close you got! Amazing job regardless đđđ
Hey Andertons! I'm still waiting for that long awaited/promised video with John! Is it cancelled altogether or just postponed because of covid?
Mary didn't expect that Mayer would make the verse the hook of the song. More of the riff backing the verse. Verse > Refrain > Riff hook/verse
Not a big John Mayer fan, personally, but that's cool that he's laid back enough to share this with his fanbase. We need more musicians being cool and less doing takedowns.
Ditto. Not a Mayer fan but I admire the passion his fans have. And his PRS models are pretty sweet if not a tad overhyped.
Not initially of his solo work, but hearing him pull off joining Dead & Co. earned huge respect from me!
@@tedsmart5539 *if a tad overhyped
Itâs really smart of him to do because look at all the exposure and extra hype his song is getting because he did it. Now all the people who watched this video are gonna listen to his new song just to hear the difference
@@soundtrackreimagined1854 don't worry, we'll only listen to the song once to hear the difference, and then the only version that we'll play on repeat is either Mary's or Adam's reharm
Who's here after the release of last train home đ
loved both of the versions â€ïž
GUYS 30 mins ago John Mayer himself shared this video on his IG stories.
Awesome job Mary!
Is there a link? Cant find it. :(
Wooooooohooooooooooo go girl đ
I knew John Mayer would like this. A rockstar who doesn't take himself too seriously is so rare. Kudos to him!
Fun, clever and challenging!
john mayers mentor bruh
Everything about this is stupendous: the work, production, musicianship, vocals, commentary, filming, editing, setting, message, hope, joy, smile, even the English weather! You are a ball of efforvescence MS! đ
Johnâs probably frantically re-recording his right now, so itâs not the same... :-)
hahahahaha
Or so it is the same....
đ€Ł
i wanted to like the comment - but its at 420 right now - so here, get a comment
Or re-recording it to sound the same because it's so damn good
I think John should get you to open up for him on tour... Then you can do a few numbers as duets.
Yes ID PAY for that
We should start a poll or something!
#marymeetsmayer
#mayertourswithmary đ
He is john mayer dude
Slow your roll
So the single released and I heard it today, and I just had to come back and compliment you at how close you actually got. Bravo Mary!
I came here once again, because I sang it all last day. I didn't listen to John Mayer that much previously, but I back to your video because I love the melody and love the way YOU did it, Mary! Very great job! Song is not even released but you did such a soulful pre-cover. I hope JM will add yours to his album's extended version. Really enjoy it!
HE NOTICED! Not only that but he put you on his Insta Story!
Hell yeah Mary! Go get it!!
This is a brilliant idea. Genius. I hope he hears about this.
Thank you Tony
He did!!! âșïž He linked this video on his Instagram account đ
@@photogirl0207 brilliant. Well done @Mary Spender
I think you could find yourself in a bit of hot water based on interference with the label's marketing & distribution endeavors which under the law would be considered tortious interference. He hasn't even launched the song yet and the new thing is to "troll" the impending release. That's what we're doing now? In addition to the troll, you are opening yourself up to all sorts of copywrite issues, mechanical issues, synchronization issues, etc. I appreciate the love that you have for him but I would be leery of uploading this type of "sampling/interpolation" without the proper clearance. Good luck.
@@jnfe well he has shared it on Instagram so I think heâs rather impressed.
What an absolute JOY !! Absolutely loved this video, thanks Mary, you are a STAR !!
The single is out and here I am just rewatching your video!!!
Your "big budget" video captured more pure joy than I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your talent and your love of music. This is something very special.
As a long time fan of Mary, I understand how HUGE of a deal it is that John mentioned it!
Impressive how well you nailed this - down to the strong 80's vibe in the video!
This is actually a really good idea for learning to write songs. Start listening to a song and stop after a few bars and try to predict the rest. Great for ear training and learning to structure songs. I'm definitely gonna start trying to do that. Great job! Video was beautifully cheesy and I loved it!! A musician should always embrace being eccentric and having a good time and never worry about looking silly or being embarrassed. Keep having fun and making great content â€ïž
Incredible skill required.
I think you are so, so right.
Apparently, the advent of man may have begun when they started consuming mind altering mushrooms, as their way of thinking outside the box.
I'd love to see you interviewing Mayer, that would be so much fun
Yes it would be.
I second this.
Also, it was John Mayer's post that got me to this video, so I guess that's kind of a success.
She actually kind of has! đ
Oh yeah
She kinda did at NAMM once. We still need a proper interview and to be more ambitious, a duet
Canât describe the happiness in seeing John sharing this on Instagram. Way to go Mary!! Incredible stuff!!
Who's back here to compare John's version with this đ
Nailed the JM facial expressions during the solo. Thatâs the most important bit.
John Mayer endorsed this himself. Amazing job !
Please tell us where did he mention this, have to see it đ
@@alethephobe7586 it was in his IG stories. It's gone now sorry.
@@alethephobe7586 Mary posted a screenshot of his Instagram story on her Instagram account so you can see it there!
That mock Mayer swagger in the music video was perfect đ
MAD SKILLS! I love how you piece all of it together. YOU ROCK!!
Mary, This John Meyer thing is what caused me to be a patron/patreon. It was a great idea and you did a wonderfully great job finishing the song.
one of the coolest musical things I have seen in over a year. i hope John gives you a call for some sort of collaboration on the back of this.
Thank you!
Came here for the single, stayed for the waterbottle ASMR
This is sooo good: that voice, that vibrato, that groove, that tone, that solo!
Coming back here after watching John Mayer's The Last Train Home early in the morning... I love both version! Thank you.
Mary, you should make this a challenge for your next release... Send your you tuber friends a portion of your next song and see how close they come (you accept fan submissions as well and have a prize for the ones who come closest.
It's definitely on my mind :)
@@MarySpender Or invite people to collaborate by building off your song idea. Just one song. It would be amazing for the winner.
@@SeanKerns and also a potential legal nightmare for MS.......some idiots grand children will fight it in court for years .
@@redrock1963 Doesn't have to be. Contractually, it could be a work for hire.
I love the song challenges with a basic beat & beginnings provided by CZcamsr, then hearing the creativity from the fans/viewers/subscribers! Exciting!!!
Oh my I love this video so much đ yessss Mary killing the prod.
Watching the music CZcamsrs supporting each other makes my heart warm. Yâall. đ
Love this video! sounds amazing! looking forward to hearing how close you got! Need John Mayer to see this! âșïžđ€đŒ
This self challenge might be the beginning of a new trend of anticipate to artist's new releases.... Well done Mary! One step ahead đ€đ»
Who else is here after John posted this on IG? this is amazing Mary! You have a new fan :)
He did? Wow! This is even more awesome!
Nope, I don't follow the John (despite being a fan) gonna go check it out now though.
Seem John live, probably my favourite ever gig (close to Bonamassa).
I'm so excited for John's music release, I can't remember the last time I was this excited about something. Love this content Mary, you're greaaaat
This is so good. Enjoyed watching your creative process. Great job producing this!
Your solo PERFECTLY captured John's signature guitar tone. I've been following Rick for years and he is why I am now subscribing to a very creative, talented and intelligent Mary Spender. Well done!
What a creative idea, Mary! You just invented a new form on CZcams. Finishing pre-released songs. It is a win win, because it boosts everybody's curiosity about the real tune.
Came from Johnâs Instagram story!! Congrats Mary! This was such a unique video idea- it was so fun getting to hear your take on it!
I would watch/listen to you sing the phone book!
Terrific video--love the explanation of how you put it all together, and the "high budget" video wrought from this experiment has the perfect synergy of harmony and humor. The camera loves you! Thanks for putting this together.
Very very good. And itâs a while since I got the feeling from one of your videos that youâre having fun! Wonderful! You truly deserve to have fun!
John Mayer sent me here to watch this...and I'm so happy he did!
Such a cool idea for a song "Variation on a Theme by John Mayer".
hahahah
I'm back after the release of Last Train Home!! Wow
I absolutely love finding unbelievably talented musicians unexpectedly on youtube. Now the journey starts to watch all your content. Thank you
Wow this sounds incredible! Great job and I canât wait to compare your version to the real thing when it comes out! đđžđ¶đ
Back to listen once again after John Mayer posted this to his Instagram story! Well done Mary for the incredible video idea and for getting recognised by the man himself! I have a feeling your going to go far and who knows maybe youâll be able to play with Mr Mayer live sometime that would be incredible! Have a great rest of your day! đđ„ł
CZcams should have a âfkn geniusâ button for this video â€ïž
I agree!
Every time I listen to âJohn Mayerâs versionâ I have to come a listen to your version! I love both!
Love what you did with the background vocals. Great job! Thank you! đžđ€
MARY F*CKING SPENDER!!! đđđ»
Your voice is so beautiful, Mary!
would she be considered an alto?
Simp
@@roinerwonkler8754 Shut up
@@roinerwonkler8754 lmao wtf
DrPengin Guitar ok white knight
This is so brilliant. I can't wait to hear the song officially and compare. This was so well done.
You go, Mary Spender! The solo is near spot on! The background vocals, too! Bravo! I love it!
Who is here from John Mayers IG story post?
What??đ
Couldn't believe it when I saw, Mary's hit the big time lol
Me lmaooo
Me. What a crossover.
Me đđ
Really great video Mary. Super mix, playing and vocals. đžđŹđ§đââïž
Hats off to you both
,Mary and John !
Love it !
This is one of the most genius videos Iâve seen. I hope a lot more people do this kind of stuff throughout the future. Thanks Mary !
You're an utter gem, Mary. Thank you for this!
Coming back to compare after John has officially released his cover of Mary's single đ
same..lol
sameeee
they sound so similar!
Johns version is better, obviously.
@@joseppi4cinqua I honestly prefer Mary's Vocals... Better lyrics and better performance, I also enjoy her guitar tone.
This is just incredible Mary!! This is the best track Iâve heard in a long while!! Reminds me of a cross between John Mayer and Haim
Thatâs awesome John re-wrote your song!! What a great concept. Loved your version! It was đ„
Considering how much I've been letting those Tiktoks play on repeat, when I saw your title I FREAKED. This is so awesome, my favorite of your videos so far. Such incredible work, the song is awesome on its own, but this is definitely going to hold me over until he releases his version of the single hahaha. Keep rocking, Mary!
Absolutely fkn brilliant. Hahah. Omg. The fact that JM posted this on his IG Story shows you how brilliant it is. Congrats on getting attention from the man himself. Genius!!
You killed it!!
John should be honoured at this remarkable homage
So much talent. Truly blessed as a musician and what a voice!
This is absurdly impressive great job!! Im sure these are tons of work but that new song he previewed after this would be cool đđ
Mad props for taking on this innovative challenge. I don't think anyone has done this before. You help make this writing process look so natural.
This is awesome! You are extremely talented. You did such a great job with this. I havenât heard his parts of this song until now, so I canât distinguish between what he wrote and what you wrote. It just sounds so good to me that I could see this version hitting the charts. Your voice is beautiful and I love your style of guitar playing. Loved the video.
Loving the video production! So fun!
Haha, he gave you cred on Insta saying "I Snooze, I lose" that you released his new song before he did!!! Way to go Mary. Been following you and Leo for a long time. You are super talented. Keep it up!!!
This just might be music video of the year :) Seriously good work on all ends.
This was awesome!! Clearly a big fan of John and crazy talented! Well done!
Very creative idea. With killer execution. You crafted a great song out of snippets, well done Mary!
You are now my favorite CZcams personality and contact creator. John Mayer better take notice and I don't know why there are not mega labels knocking down your door if not the BBC Clamoring to give you your own channel. You have just the right mix of personality talent of course good looks and you're just fun to watch I can't wait to see what his song turns out like... maybe yours is better. It certainly was fun to watch. Keep up the awesome work!
Just watched the premier..... you nailed it!
I love coming back to this video! Itâs so fun!
This version is super cool too! Congratulations and so much admiration for you Mary, :)
This was a great idea for a video, very entertaining,. more please!
Mayery Spender! Loved it... clever in all the right ways
This was such a joy to listen to. You are and sound amazing.
I love you. This was so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. â„ïž
"I don't know why I'm doing this.." Because it is cool as hell. It is the sort of thing I would do if I had any talent at all. It is a spectacular song writing challenge. I'm and engineer and I've learned so much re-creating other people's work. As a challenge or as a necessity to repair broken things.
Here because JM posted it!!!!! Congratulations đ
This was SO fun to watch. Great challenge and project and a really nice end result. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
I can't wait to see! Love it!
John Mayer posted this in his story damn you made it mary! đ
John actually put this in his story that day . It's great to see all the CZcams guitar legends on the comment section in support . I agree to Eric Clapton on everything but not on his statement "guitar is probably over " well sir not yet not over yet .... We will try to keep your legacy alive our level best . Guitar players like this in the name of Jimmy , George , and stevies name ....
I think you need to put the video up on it's own so I can add it to my playlists. This is seriously great!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing your bravery in setting a challenge and sharing your thought process. Your version of the song has a certain sweetness to it that I connected with. Keep going, you are an inspiration.
