I believe that the main components that it takes to get to that level are TRIADS and Major and Minor Pentatonics. You'll get there if you love doing it!
You can definitely tell he’s playing into an interphase but it goes to show you that these pickups are phenomenal on this thing. I know that my noiseless ones on my strat don’t come close to having that spank when into a DI
@@berorah737 There are plenty of great cover bands sounding exactly like SRV, Hendrix etc. John Mayer is a master guitar player, but he could and should go more unique (more of his own voice). He has the skills, that's for sure. I hope he is evolving forward and grow more of his own, not just getting even better at playing guitar
Morten the cover bands do not have the skills nor the creativity to take srv’s and Hendrix styles and build on top of it plus improvise while doing so...
It's better just to not use words like that. It ends up being a flame war of Mayer stans who think he's the GOAT and ignorant people who write him off as a talentless dbag. In my opinion I think he's in the top 20-30. I think he shows too much restraint (guitar wise) in his albums to be considered top 10.
I mean yeah he makes douchey faces and is generally a douche but hes very skilled. I was probably drunk when I said he's top 30, I don't think he's that good but I do like his playing and it's the only thing I wouldn't criticize him on.
John is a beast who doesn't get seen for all his talent because he is best known for some of his bubble gum pop that was what labels wanted. I love to see him drop jaws
Harris yeah i guess i agree, but technical doesn't always mean boring, for example eric johnson can be VERY techincal but i wouldn't consider himself boring at all. At the end it always comes down to personal preference
Harris guthrie govan is probably the best right now he can play literally everything he wants from complete dumb non musical shred to a nice funky solo like this one
Looks like he’s plugged into the starship enterprise too. Didn’t intend to put anyone down by implying he is the best. It’s just my opinion, not a fact. There are many greats out there.
Strat straight into a DI always yields killer clean tones. Hell, even into a shitty headphone amp, the neck pickup always sounds phenomenal. And yes, I'm aware this is a PRS strat-clone
I think 8bar blues with 2 extra at the end... I I I I IV IV 2bars turnaround then I I stop 54-56bpm ish? OR 16bars 108-112bpm with 4extra at the end...
I mean he picks it up and really just starts that. Where he goes who knows right.... remarkable player. Clapton has said it, BB king, you name it... so well its probably true.
John should make a funk album in the vein of Nile Rodgers Chic...Ray Parker's Raydio (it's time to party now)....Rick James (Glow one of the best funk albums EVER!!!)
Lol, that tone is nothing special. You must be a noob guitarist And single coils are capable of the best tones for every music genre except metal and maybe some rock tunes
jmanxoom as long as I don’t have to see the headstock it’s fine. He’ll be going back to playing his Fender soon when this or stuff is over. He has hundreds of them. He’ll never run out of them.
If I could play like that I’d never be bored
yeah if you suddenly got the skill, but it takes so much patience to get up to a decent level
I believe that the main components that it takes to get to that level are TRIADS and Major and Minor Pentatonics. You'll get there if you love doing it!
Slow down the video and start analyzing his style.
practising so la do re mi can take you there :D
It's so cool how you can see Tomo's influences in John's playing style. Both such amazing guitarists
Someone mention that smooth pickup switch.. daamnn
right? damn that was slick
was it a conscious move? his right hand comes damn near close all the time to the switch
Yeah I think that was on accident. But did help lol
naahh he is talented enough! SRV did it all the time but it takes alot of practice!
He switched back after the video cut. Pretty sure it was an accident but it did sound super nice. :)
Dang John is everywhere ,but most certainly he deserves all the attention being a guitar player of his caliber
@Daniel DeSoto who hurt u dude?
@Dbomb Danny Hello Mr....... "I Know it ALL"!! Whats up!
I dont know if that pickup switch was intentional, but it sure was badass
Best player alive right now. He's ascended into that master class with Clapton, Page, Hendrix, SRV
Must be joking, Clapton maybe.
SRV and Page are in a league of their own
Hendrix is god
Page and Clapton are still alive.
@@richardsmith9615 id say he's better just because those guys are older, he's closer to his prime.
@@joegarrison5911 bub....john is 43, SRV died at like 34 and hendrix died at 27...
@@sccanj Stevie was well beyond hendrix abilities.
Hot damn the man can play him some funk. Damn.
MattyK USA do you know the name of the song
@@richiemazze5141 It's just a jam that he did
@@samme79 Pretty sure it's a song someone named it on a different video I can't find it . Tasty either way.
@@richiemazze5141 it’s just a random jam but the first bit sounds very like his song Who Did You Think I Was
Slowly working this out by ear and piecing a tab together. What a jam!
Did you ever finish those tabs?
ya'll dont need to

@@isaacting1301 awesome
Isn’t this riff in one of his songs? Which one was it
You can definitely tell he’s playing into an interphase but it goes to show you that these pickups are phenomenal on this thing. I know that my noiseless ones on my strat don’t come close to having that spank when into a DI
His name will be spoken along side the names of SRV and Hendrix
Nah, he didn’t break a new style
Michael Steven but does he have too?

@@michaelsteven1090 SRV sure as hell didn't break a new style
He posted this on instagram and said - this is the silver sky plugged directly into the board
He has reverb on at least. Not fully "vanilla" tone
I have a million guitars but there’s something about a strat that always brings me back. Even if it’s not really a strat and it’s a prs
Master of Groove,Master of Technique,Master of Feel just Master of everything!😀😀😀😀😀this is Badass Playing!🤘🤘🤘✌✌✌
I was so excited to find the extended version of this to see where he took it after the short cut off. Thanks for playing the short twice...
no way to gauge the "best" player, but he's definitely one of them!

I can listen to this my entire life. Amazing!

Man I would love to see and hear him play a gospel quartet bump
This makes me want to grab my strat and practice
God damn he is the best player out there at the mo!!
Jake Fowler not at all man wtf are you saying
Gilbert is still playing

Anyone know it this is a song? Or just jammin? Love to learn it
Just improv
PaulyM856, Wasn't a video cut, they looped it at 0:40
the dude is a beast of a player
His groove is deep
Man...this is the Silver Sky straight into DI. No amp in this video. He can squeeze some tone out of a guitar.
Yes. ALL in the fingers
About $15000 worth of rack equipment
Strat straight into a DI always yields killer clean tones. Hell, even into a shitty headphone amp, the neck pickup always sounds phenomenal.
And yes, I'm aware this is a PRS strat-clone
@@Apathesis0 you're not wrong there, strat neck pickups always sound killer no matter what you're playing through
Don't know how you can't love this stuff.
Now we know his secret tip. John Mayer practices guitar during his free time.
He’s playing directly into an 1176 compressor In case anyone was wondering.
i believe in hardwork, but this guy is pure talent. and that talent is on another level.
You're kidding yourself if you don't think he practiced hard as hell to sound that good
@@SevenTwoDrew thank you, people say oh so talented but really it should be more like oh so much hard work
Amazing.
Very gifted musician
Damn he's so groove
Underrated
that tone... damn
He needs to make more songs like this!!!! 😍
He s very slow at putting out albums lol
@@tylerd1297 he said in an interview he isn't focusing on albums any more but singles
I think 8bar blues with 2 extra at the end... I I I I IV IV 2bars turnaround then I I stop 54-56bpm ish? OR 16bars 108-112bpm with 4extra at the end...
HOLY FUCK. His playing makes the guitar look beautiful as hell.
i know everyone knows who he is. he's still under rated. guy can shred anything
You need to finish this riff dude! It's jammin!
tomo taught u that?
Like a kid who's really enjoy his new toy. :D
I mean he picks it up and really just starts that. Where he goes who knows right.... remarkable player. Clapton has said it, BB king, you name it... so well its probably true.
You can be a legend man
LEGEND😍
Bring the blues back John. You might be the only one who can.
Gary Clark Jr. too!
That "hendrix" chord
Reminds me of Jeff Beck!!!! Killin that groove man!
The best. Period!
"play that funky music white boy, play that funky music right"
Cool sounds like a strat
This guy can play!
Legend.
hear me out: 10 hours of this on loop
That Prender sounds good
Any suggestions for where I can find more music like this?
John Mayer Trio should satisfy your guitar listening needs!
Cool
John should make a funk album in the vein of Nile Rodgers Chic...Ray Parker's Raydio (it's time to party now)....Rick James (Glow one of the best funk albums EVER!!!)
Tabs for this, anyone?
www.riff-hero.com/tabs ;)
I love you dude
I can't believe someone actually tabbed it
Vinicius Larrea love ya vini, great effort
Vinicius Larrea you are the best! Dude you rock it!
Man I wish I could play like that
Love John! He's awesome, but I prefer his fenders 😍
Relax guitar
How to master funk music
What pedal did he used? I wonder how he can dial such a tone on single coil
That why he left Fender. Listen to other player and you'll hear the tone is the same through a clean channel with nothing on it.
Lol, that tone is nothing special. You must be a noob guitarist
And single coils are capable of the best tones for every music genre except metal and maybe some rock tunes
This is soul baby...
Does anyone have the tabs for this?
It I find it I’ll copy paste it for you.
SWEET STRAT...
Please get back to this stuff John. You are so good. The new stuff is terrible. Your one of my favorites. ✊✊✊✊
Gonna learn this, gonna take months 😂
Why is the headstock out of frame.... I, uh.... oh....
And I believe he saif it just the DI signal of thr guitar. I may hate PRS for copying Fender but dang that thing sounds great.
does anyone have tab?? really wanna practice
Nice strat
jmanxoom it's a PRS guitar
we all know the truth.
jmanxoom as long as I don’t have to see the headstock it’s fine. He’ll be going back to playing his Fender soon when this or stuff is over. He has hundreds of them. He’ll never run out of them.
It ain't a Strat, Bitch. Ain't no Strat.
Goddamn it Vince, I thought we discussed your anger issues!
Insane....
what is the DI model ?
ลำเพลินจักบาดแหน่น้า ป๋า
Ok that was groovy
I wonder if the cameraman intentionally cut off the headstock in the video XD
Funky Johnny! Rip it Son!
john can throw down
*NO EFFECTS JUST PLUGGED INTO THE DI*
Nice Fender tone :D
Very big compressor !
YUGEE
Nice strat with weird headstock, that's what some people think hmm... Nice tone btw
guys!how to get the guitar pro?
I want tabs :(
Song??
I quit.
No please dont!😀
0:25
What’s the name of this song I can’t remember it for the life of me
@Thomas_ - he does have a song with a similar riff
nice ax
Does anyone want to be a hero and tab this?
The guy who review this PRS JM Strat plays really well. Would prefere more John Mayer style to really judge it. Anyway the playing is good
nothing special except his smile s of being recorded
anyone tab this out?
Ummm, is this a recorded song? Please tell me it is or it will be?!
definitely not this is just some standards blues chords with some riffing between
The chords are reminiscent of "Who did you think I was." But it's really just him riffing around
maybe his next album will be all funk, yes please! epic... and Steve Jordan holding it down, yep!
Goosebumps!
i want tabsssss
with the headstock out of the picture... this could just be a strat w/ custom inlays. Strange move to me...
Dan Herrick Idk man... Does Fender make Strats with necks that have eagle inlays too now?
the guitar tone is just sexy
what the hell is on that 32nd beat? is he just swich the time or what?
John and Paul helped create a great Strat... But it's PRS. Need I say workmanship
Those are Gold speakers, no?
colaboytje nah, Golden fingers
