It must have been so hard for John to design a copy of the Fender stratocaster.

Dude sounded the best on the red 355. Honestly im suprised he doesent play bursts like bonamassa

John thanks for being accessible appreciate true humility along with your undeniable talent always enlightened.

"Jerry loved a sad song." -Robert Hunter

Jerry grew up playing bluegrass. He would have no problem with Dead coverbands.

The joke's on me, cause I was super excited to investigate what this modern non-strat guitar called Silver Sky looked like.

I just love this This will become my Quest in Life

He could take you from sleeping to dancing in the street ,move 30k people ,make a goof just to get the crowd up ,I miss the Jerry years but am happy I could see couple hundred shows ,I've never saw a bad show it was always an owsome moment, one of a kind

I never have a day that I do not listen to something by Bill Evans. And yes sometimes get a tear in my eye. The music makes takes you to a great place.

Feminine? No. Contemplative, almost philosophical wandering,,,poetic maybe...Those are masculine qualities if they had to be categorized but of course women have these also.

People bashing him for making replicas w/ prs but think of the dead spec model. The more affordable “se” line and whatever next they come out with.

this is what V-logging was supposed to be! Thank you John M. So valuable

Do you or anyone else have a link to the complete masterclass? Would love to hear more feedback from John on songwriting. A songwriting course by John would def be amazing!

🤤that parlor

If you have the link to the full video please share with me would love see it!

From a guy who never learned how to play any kind of instrument or anything about music during the 60 years that I've been listening to ALL the classics. I'm never going to understand the technical talk about music, although I like listening to Keith Richards talk about music. I fell in love with Jerry's guitar playing when I was around 11 years old. It resonated with me from the instant I first heard it and for the rest of my life. That's all I can say about Jerry's guitar playing because that's all I know. I've always felt a mystical connection. I can't explain it.

F@ck this guitar... Its like 20 000 dollars!

❤

jOHN you are so crazy.

What’s that intro lick from?

7:01 That thumb can't move like that...C'mooooooon

He described the process so perfectly

pickup music represent

Superb.

1977 Barton Hall solo in "Loser", I think I hear that with every ounce of my being.

Love this guy. When he first came out I didn’t. Just didn’t get it. But over time I’ve realized what a monster he is. And the fact he takes time to teach is just amazing. I can see him doing a teaching stint at Berklee at some point. Hes such a natural instructor and has a wealth of knowledge. Paying it forward when he certainly doesn’t have to. Go John!

i love the way he talks about this

Bill Kruetzmann, the man of many faces 😂

Is John drinking?

⭐😇

😊

❤😊

Trying to understand this, is all he saying is use position 5 instead of position 1of minor pentatonic? I don't get the trick here...

Fantastic insight/point Mayor made regarding JG playing more like a piano. Just stated the obvious that really hit home.

Bought his first CD in 2004. Twenty years later, I heard him perform Assassin acoustic in Amsterdam. Best song of his show that night. His songs ‘evolve over the years’, always surprising. Superb!

The fat man rocks

I’m glad you’re doing these lessons! Now if I could only sing!😅 Thanks John! You’re truly a professional….🎸

Just know your boxes! There's only five. In my mind always really explaining is everyone knows box one Don't forget five is just behind that then four so on and so forth.

Everyone must have their own "greatest guitarist" favorite, or top three, or top ten. It's all so subjective. There are guitarists, surely, who played faster than Jerry. There are guitarists who played in a more disciplined way. There are people in the jazz world and classical world who do this in their sleep, they are so good. Jerry, if he had had more self-discipline and less self-indulgence, could have been all that. But what I hear when I listen to Jerry play is that, to me, he is the most MUSICAL guitarist. When he was good, before the ravages of heroin, he could be spellbinding. His playing could just apprehend me, grab me, and pull my ear in, and it was so FELT. It could rip your head open like a split cantaloupe. It had power. Sometimes he was a "noodler," but most of the time he would do things, and you would think, "WHAAT? He's going deep!" And his vocals: Jerry wasn't a Bennett or Sinatra caliber singer. His voice was kind of reedy and a little thin (cigarettes?), but he was a great singer of his songs. His delivery, phrasing, empathy, breathing and voice control were all phenomenal.

One man gathers. Once you know.

hi John mayer here, check out the next story where I'm showing you my new fender........*showing his car's fender

It’s weird ask questions about a dead man’s perspective

Sorry, I don't see the glamour of acting like a complete jerk in France ....threatening drivers in the street for fun. I thought John Mayer seemed embarrased for him

Standing on the moon - But I would rather be with you Somewhere in San Francisco - On a back porch in July

The most basic thing for him, it's a f****n awesome riff for me

bruhh this guy knows music theory fam

He's an amazing instructor, I wish he was't famous so he can be my guitar teacher.

i'd love some john's commentary on some his favorite bill evans songs
