Dashiell Gregory I actually have a feeling that he already had the last solo down and practiced and that he was just jamming and trying different shit before playing it in the end here for “the first time”.
John Mayer - "I can destroy you on a guitar" Me - ".... Yep" John Mayer - destroys me on guitar Me - "I can record video in landscape mode" John Mayer - "touché"
John Mayer, AKA "the guy that can get away uploading a video to CZcams filmed as vertical and using only camera mic for the audio, and not have everyone bitching about it". My respects for that. And for that amazing playing too, of course.
Might just be my favorite blend of “guitar solo mixed with the songs backing tracks”ever. It just serves the music so incredibly well. There’s a vid of just the solo that made it on the album and I’ve listened over 100 times. I love how he knew he nailed it and put the guitar down haha. Incredible stuff
Evan Keough The Prophet John looks at the individual and says, “ Silver and Gold have I none, in the name of JESUS rise up and walk, “ he hits a chord, walks away and the person is healed. 🎸👍👏✌️🙏😃
@@thijshalsema2764 I saw him live in 2017! Prepare to be amazed. Especially now that Sharkey is onboard too on guitar. Mayer himself, Pino,Steve Jordan, outstanding! And so were the backup singers
@@ChrisMolyneaux93 Totally agree! I've even noticed that the first part of the solo in "It's in the Way That You Use It" is basically the same lick as the beginning of "Last train home".
@@adaptiveagile wow man, dream life. Also, weed is legal in Canada now, not sure it was when you paid a visit. Strippers and cocaine (is a song) or strippers and weed are closet things to heaven on earth! I'm sure your stockbroker friend, like the wolf of wall street, must be snorting off of strippers T&A ! Einstein said E=mc^2 which according to me is, ECSTASY = Massive ass and tits * Coccaine * Crack 🤣😂
3:28 the perfect timing to start a guitar lick. The trick to Mayers playing is to keep shuffling that timing and combine bluesy licks around the beat whilst feeling the overall pulse of the song. He takes the basics and brings it to another level. All in all, It's just good ol' "simple" blues but building a solo and seeing that big picture in the context of a song, I believe, is Mayers main strength. You don't get bored.
100% agree. He has an impeccable groove and roundness that I just can’t get enough of in his playing. It pays such great homage to the greats that mentored him like Buddy Guy, while being a style completely his own. You can easily pick his playing out of recordings with other players and I think that’s exceptional.
There are casual and fun parts like this during recording but there are also very stressful moments where everybody has their game face on to get the best take. It’s a balance
More musicians should post content like this! I really appreciate the " behind the scenes " vibe. It feel like I'm witnessing something very natural and magical at the same time.
As a huge fan of Prince, I would die to see this kind of in the studio footage from the GOAT. Kudos to John for releasing this. It only adds to his stature. The best guitarist on the scene today in my eyes. He hits the feels as soon as he starts noodling.
@@MrHestichs it probably isn't, when in a recording environment like that anything that is musically coherent that you have created you literally get the biggest boner over 😂😂😂
When I played around on garageband as a kid (totally not a musician btw), I got so much excitement out of singing along to songs and then adding effects on my voice and whatnot, and then playing it back. I did not use that software to its proper potential, but I can understand how real musicians can get all up in their feelings when they hear their creation coming together. Plus the joy of being able to capture the creative process on computers or videos instead of their brain dump being lost to the environment, never to be replicated again. :P
I just lost my son to an accidental overdose. I pain I can’t take. Your song brings me back to earth. The pain I’ve experienced with lies was unusually cruel. Thank you writing the song John. You’re helping me through.
I’m sorry for your loss. 🥺 But isn’t that the blues….and the sincerity of the music? To express that loss/pain that words sometimes can’t say? But a guitar or some other instrument expresses perfectly. One step at a time. 💪
He is so soulful ,just flows beautiful on the guitar,I listen to him while I drive for ups makes my day as I sway and play air guitar just flowing with him.
I could listen to this on a loop driving through some Colorado mountain roads and lose myself. Brilliant playing and example of taking your time and breathing. So good.
I've been listening to JM for the entirety of his career, and consider myself a pretty big fan. Seen him 3 times in concert, and love nearly everything he's ever done. The solo on "I Guess I Just Feel Like" took sole possession of my number one favorite solo by him, over EOD. It's just beautiful, and speaks so perfectly to the vibe of the song. Now, John, let's get on a new album, eh?
Room for Squares was released the year I graduated high school and I instantly fell in love. Now it's on a whole other level. I could lock myself in a room with JM and listen to him play all. day. long.
Sob Rock is a brilliant album. You have to listen to the album as an entirety to make it an even better experience. It may not be as “loud” as previous albums - it’s actually more like a sweet breeze of cool air that I sorely need in this day and age. Been listening to the album daily since it dropped.
I also think it's his best solo. It's just magical. I'm so thankful that JM is uploading stuff like this because it's both amazing to see as a fan and as a musician and guitar player i've learned so much from him.
@@d43imoet This is the perfect description of Sob Rock! It's an underrated and subdued beauty that you learn to love over time. It was not my tempo at first, but Sob Rock has turned into my favorite album of all time.
there's nothing more satisfying than watching john go through and figure out what he wants in a song. I hope he continues to release these... they are extremely entertaining
I can't resist seeing and hearing this magnificent solo by John. I'm not a guitarist but I know how to appreciate what I feel when listening to it, I just know that I get chills every time
I remember when this first came out, had just broken up with my first ever gf. Plugged my guitar in played to this on repeat stealing all the licks for almost 2 hours, needles to say I felt much better ;))
dude, fuckin like 10 years ago now (I'm so old :( ) John did this thing he does once or twice a year and performs unannounced at this bar in Hollywood, which was down the street from my house but I missed it cause I wasn't much of a fan of his yet. some patron there filmed every song and put it up on her channel a few months before my heartbreaking breakup at the time and I found his performance of Slow Dancing. just him playing alone acoustically in like my favorite version of that song he's ever done. I obsessed over that performance for like a month, learning it note for note over the course, which helped me get over the sadness and anger. I love it, probably listened to that performance like 1000 times, and it's funny cause people in the comments talk about how good the solo is and that vid has over a million views, so something about it connected with people too, even tho it's just John alone in a bar playing a song he was already famous for.
@@ROOSTERPOOTERS and how do you explain New Light? He's talked a lot about how he might just keep releasing singles because he doesn't know what to do creatively. He's so versatile that I think he's trying to find some cohesion but isn't positive how to do that. He's going on tour because he has a ton of fans and he has been playing with the Dead for the last few years and wants to adapt that format for the masses. He clearly just loves playing live and touring.
You can just see on his face he has something special while he is ripping on that last solo (the one put in the song). It's like he's trying to carry a baby as safely as he can down the stairs. Just magic.
YES me too, totally Mark. I’m loving how many modern artists are starting to appreciate Dire Straits. Lots of songs on the past 2 Dawes records totally crib from their style too.
Editor 1: I have an idea! Let's have John play awesome guitar solos for 7 mins straight.. Editor 2: yeah... Editor 1: ...but film it vertically Editor 2: okay... Editor 1: and have it so it doesn't fit vertically on the screen and there'd have to be giant ass black bars when they rotate it! Editor 2: ...brilliant!
No pick! That's one of the reasons why this song sounds like Mark Knopfler. Definitely an inspiration. Way to go, John. You are one of the few on the same league with the great Knopfler.
Past Knopfler...just because Mark was first doesn’t mean John can’t do that and more and taking what mentors have taught us and adding our own flare is what it is all about. Mark, BB, SRV all had their own influences, yet they are talked about as if they invented the wheel and weren’t influenced themselves.
One of the best solos I’ve heard in the last 10 years.. and the way he made it! we’ve had also the privilege to watch the full creative process video.. simply perfect, a genius and a real master. Thank you really much John
I’m just grateful and blessed to have had the chance to listen to his whole catalogue of music, be it live or studio... And that generations to come will also get that same chance.. Cuz Art lives forever, if it’s captured... Thanks John...
Johnny, I've been obsessed with your "I Guess I Just Feel Like" guitar solo since you shared the first snippet in October before we knew what it was, so this 7+ minute guitar solo development video is manna from heaven. Thank you! ❤️
Everytime I watch this back, I learn something new about phrasing and how John builds solos. Everytime I watch it there's a new nuance that I missed the time before. I would give a lot just to hang out with him for a day.
Thank you for this John. I would like to thank you for finding the perfect balance to attract both the pop audience and the rocker audience in this record👌🏼
First of all thank you John for uploading this beautiful video. Then, incredible sound with that Casino, I'm amazed that despite having a contract with a different brand of guitars, you let yourself play the one you want 👏😉 Finally, it's great to hear live that sensation of having recorded the exact solo that appears in the final version, and enjoy the process of coming up with it as well. Thanks again, regards from Argentina. Martin 👏👏🇦🇷
Going to see him soon live for my first time and I can't wait, even if my tickets are shit I get to say I was in the same room as John Mayer, my biggest musical influence alongside B.B King and Jimi Hendrix. John has given me the inspiration to challenge my guitar skills and become a better musician and I am so glad I found his music soo many years ago. I have a spotify playlist of all of his songs that always sound like I am hearing them for the first time because of how deep and intricate his guitar playing is and how amazing Pino and Steve play and structure their musical conversations with John. Absolutely amazing.
I sure love the direction of his electric playing with the fingers... he completely exits the derivative SRV stuff in this approach... dude just keeps growing as player... inspiring
Can't believe this is from a year ago! Loving the new album. It's very John Mayer.... so smooth and interesting. So cool to hear this, and observe this process. This song gets me everytime.
As a fellow guitar player is was great watching John piece this together! He's become so comfortable in front of his phone/camera that you can almost see him zone in and out during the solos when he's obviously conscious of the camera and playing to it and then towards the end when he turns away from it and plays some of the tastiest parts of the solo. Almost like the first half was a bit of showboating for the folks at home and the last half was "time to go to work and nail this solo..." Great playing and really cool song. Thanks John!
Nice to see and appreciate how much work this Guy puts into a single song, this video is from 2 years ago but I just heard the song from the new album the other day.
One thing I looove about music is how influences blend in so nicely with your own personal touch. Even slight probably subconscious head movements like Stevie or BB come through while he’s playing. Love it. Hope we have another generation of some guitar greats to keep the inspiration going.
Awesome! So good! Already the first take was ACE! And how he switches to his pick at 4:52...MAGIC! The tone of that Epiphone 230TD...fantastic! (Makes me regret that I sold mine in the early 70s because everybody wanted to hear Fender Strats...well you live & learn!)
my favorite guitar player" glad hes making all these youtube videos to keep us entertained and inspired, im watching this right now with my guitar plugged in trying to play along and copy everything,maybe one day the muscle memory will stick and in stead of copying it i can beable to instinctively do this on my own over a backing track ;] thanks for all these video posts.

SO TRUE😂
We need better terms
Me and a buddy usually refer to lead lines or solos as the squiddly dos of guitar and if you mess up its a squiddly dont. Just though I'd share haha

That feeling of listening back, hearing yourself and going, "whoah, that's ME??" One of the best feelings in the world.
Yes it is......agreed
True! Rare, but true 😃✌️
NumbNutz12000 so true
Big facts
Fuck yeah!
It's so cool to hear the solo that ends up on the record being played for the first time. Something very special about that
Dashiell Gregory I actually have a feeling that he already had the last solo down and practiced and that he was just jamming and trying different shit before playing it in the end here for “the first time”.
@@JakeFields92 that totally could be it yeah
Jacob Fields he said before the last solo which made the cut that he’s gonna ‘stop playing for the camera’ hence getting himself in the zone properly
Felt the same way many times..! A moment preserved in time and you get to witness that..!
I just wish he'd stop fading out his tracks right as the solo comes in. I know it makes the live versions more special, but still.
John Mayer - "I can destroy you on a guitar"
Me - ".... Yep"

Honestly he can get away with playing that in a musical context but he acknowledged it as a mistake
Can i suggest Over 60 minutes of guitar solos as a new album from John Mayer?
Lol, just go to one of Dead & Co shows. Your ears would be satisfied
I would buy it!
no
yes!
lighthopkin great That’s probably just the LSD in the air that’s making it seem insane. No doubt it sounds good though
Watching this you realize what Clapton said of him "even he doesnt know how good he is" is bang on.
When he let’s go. But just like the greats…..sometimes he is too conscious of himself. But when he’s not….whew!
Don’t think! Feel!

The amp is a 10” Fender Champ that John dimed to its limits for that wonderful tone
Don’t know, but guessing he ran a boost into it too, just to get that little push over the cliff. Real minimal.
It’s a gnarly tone. Plus the guitar, plus using his fingers. Really cool and interesting sound

Editor 1: I have an idea! Let's have John play awesome guitar solos for 7 mins straight..
Editor 2: yeah...
Editor 1: ...but film it vertically
Editor 2: okay...
Editor 1: and have it so it doesn't fit vertically on the screen and there'd have to be giant ass black bars when they rotate it!
Editor 2: ...brilliant!
Lol
Yeah. Taking a break from Instagram. CZcams is more educational to me/less of an addictive time suck 🤔😎😂
I’d rather vertical video than no video
I hate that. I do I really do
lol
No pick! That's one of the reasons why this song sounds like Mark Knopfler. Definitely an inspiration.
Way to go, John. You are one of the few on the same league with the great Knopfler.
100 clones and still not close to the dynamics of Knopfler
radialdrift give Davy Knowles a listen
Past Knopfler...just because Mark was first doesn’t mean John can’t do that and more and taking what mentors have taught us and adding our own flare is what it is all about. Mark, BB, SRV all had their own influences, yet they are talked about as if they invented the wheel and weren’t influenced themselves.
@@braddaddis371 There is nothing dynamic or innovative about John's style.
radialdrift i cant think of a more incorrect statement. The solo? Sure very little dynamics but johns one of the best dynamic wise when live
A true magical video being able to see and hear.."I Guess I Just Feel Like"comeing alive!!!love this.Many thanks and appreciation.
So cool listening to the finished product and being able to go back to this video to hear how the solo develops
More of this please! Love seeing behind the scenes, especially the making of your incredible solos!
He is a magician on the guitar. The way he introduced the pick for that ending run was stunning.
This vid pops up in my feed often. I can hear this riff in my head every time I see the thumbnail. That's how catchy it is. So great!
You never have to change the tune. It’s a good one. Keep playing it. John. Love hearing it.
This is one of those "watch every single day" videos
It's two years later and this is still my favorite solo of John's, and having this video is just priceless. I get chills every time.
thats the pinnacle of guitar craft.
When mastery of the instrument allows you to express your emotions.
One of the best solos I’ve heard in the last 10 years.. and the way he made it! we’ve had also the privilege to watch the full creative process video.. simply perfect, a genius and a real master. Thank you really much John
Unreal solo
This is my Fav. Song of yours love the tone everthing about it
I can feel the vibe in this practice as if it were a full blown concert . His heart and soul is always in every sound.
Thank you for sharing this video with us! So authentic and inspiring!
His music is an absolute gift to the world. Thank you.
6:08 absolute magic. Everything just aligned perfectly. So cool you upload these videos. Hugely inspirational. 🖤🔥
I’m just grateful and blessed to have had the chance to listen to his whole catalogue of music, be it live or studio...
And that generations to come will also get that same chance.. Cuz Art lives forever, if it’s captured...
Thanks John...
Your guitar expressions no words can describe as you played it through your soul
I’m all over this song! He jams like no other!! You know this to be cool!!! 😎💜🌹💚☮️☮️☮️
He is one of the 'real artists' because his music is so real and touching
Johnny, I've been obsessed with your "I Guess I Just Feel Like" guitar solo since you shared the first snippet in October before we knew what it was, so this 7+ minute guitar solo development video is manna from heaven. Thank you! ❤️
Everytime I watch this back, I learn something new about phrasing and how John builds solos. Everytime I watch it there's a new nuance that I missed the time before. I would give a lot just to hang out with him for a day.
Damn! That is so COOL to see the creative process and how it’s done.
Love that each take is unique. Shows the importance of not scripting your solos!
Thank you for this John. I would like to thank you for finding the perfect balance to attract both the pop audience and the rocker audience in this record👌🏼
♥️♥️♥️ love this. Hearing raw talent, unscripted, unedited. It’s pure pleasure. Pure genius. Pure Johnny.
I needed it, thank you John. Stunning work, as usual.
He's won so many awards and continues to play all over the world, but he's still a kid deep down who loves to play. Like us all.
“You wanna punch into that right there?”
John: mmmnooo
"oh...."
Thanks for sharing this experience with us John. It's selfless and very cool.
First of all thank you John for uploading this beautiful video.
Then, incredible sound with that Casino, I'm amazed that despite having a contract with a different brand of guitars, you let yourself play the one you want 👏😉
Finally, it's great to hear live that sensation of having recorded the exact solo that appears in the final version, and enjoy the process of coming up with it as well.
Thanks again, regards from Argentina. Martin 👏👏🇦🇷
Going to see him soon live for my first time and I can't wait, even if my tickets are shit I get to say I was in the same room as John Mayer, my biggest musical influence alongside B.B King and Jimi Hendrix. John has given me the inspiration to challenge my guitar skills and become a better musician and I am so glad I found his music soo many years ago. I have a spotify playlist of all of his songs that always sound like I am hearing them for the first time because of how deep and intricate his guitar playing is and how amazing Pino and Steve play and structure their musical conversations with John. Absolutely amazing.
I sure love the direction of his electric playing with the fingers... he completely exits the derivative SRV stuff in this approach... dude just keeps growing as player... inspiring
Can't believe this is from a year ago! Loving the new album. It's very John Mayer.... so smooth and interesting. So cool to hear this, and observe this process. This song gets me everytime.
Fantastic tone and touch.
As a fellow guitar player is was great watching John piece this together! He's become so comfortable in front of his phone/camera that you can almost see him zone in and out during the solos when he's obviously conscious of the camera and playing to it and then towards the end when he turns away from it and plays some of the tastiest parts of the solo. Almost like the first half was a bit of showboating for the folks at home and the last half was "time to go to work and nail this solo..." Great playing and really cool song. Thanks John!
Great to see John powering an Epiphone casino.
It’s a gem
Nice to see and appreciate how much work this Guy puts into a single song, this video is from 2 years ago but I just heard the song from the new album the other day.
One thing I looove about music is how influences blend in so nicely with your own personal touch. Even slight probably subconscious head movements like Stevie or BB come through while he’s playing. Love it. Hope we have another generation of some guitar greats to keep the inspiration going.
He knows the importance of the notes you don't play. Amazing skills. Perhaps the most talented guitarist alive.
Thank you for this John! Truly enjoyable.
This guy so the real deal. Humble, always learning, experimenting, giving back to the universe. Mr. Mayer my fav.
I absolutely LOVE this song💝could listen to acoustics all day amazing!!!
Awesome! So good! Already the first take was ACE! And how he switches to his pick at 4:52...MAGIC! The tone of that Epiphone 230TD...fantastic! (Makes me regret that I sold mine in the early 70s because everybody wanted to hear Fender Strats...well you live & learn!)
Nicely done. I can have this on loop for hours. ⭐️💜🌹
Same…I’ve been doing so for at least two years. Not THE WHOLE TIME - but mostly at night before sleep
my favorite guitar player" glad hes making all these youtube videos to keep us entertained and inspired, im watching this right now with my guitar plugged in trying to play along and copy everything,maybe one day the muscle memory will stick and in stead of copying it i can beable to instinctively do this on my own over a backing track ;] thanks for all these video posts.
I love to see the heart and soul of a true blues player not to mention a true guitar player #blessup
