MASTERCLASS with Eric Harland: Special Guest John Mayer

[@sebastianvander9281]

I feel like Mayer has a unique way of articulating things that most people think often but cant put into words, he brings thoughts out of his subconscious so effortlessly and it makes him very relatable as a musician.

[@avnishkalyankar5247]

I understood this... but could never put it into words

[@brennanbrownmusic]

A video of John trying to learn golf would be one of the greatest videos of all time

[@deborahmolenda2112]

John Mayer is a beautifully well spoken soulful human! SOB ROCK Tour is/was the Best! Thanks for all you do and joining in this superb interview panel! Love'n y'all!

[@kamogelomvemve4908]

I started listening to John Mayer in 2017. The song 'Moving on and Gettin' Over' was a sonic therapy session during a cold winter and an even colder break up...I've loved him ever since. You're my Bill Evans, John.

[@baldbearded9601]

Hopefully you listen to his earlier stuff too! The DVD Where The Light Is, live in L.A. has to be one of the best live recording shows of all time. Worth watching it's in entirety!

[@kamogelomvemve4908]

@@baldbearded9601 Thank you for that. I will definitely check it out. I Love the earlier work! So after listening to the "Search for Everything" i went back and listened to Born&Raised and that's when I knew I was in for the long haul Lol.

[@kimberlykairo]

John Mayer is such a brilliant beautiful cat. Always gives a surreally insane interview. He’s like none other. Broke the mold. Love all of his work. Love him

[@judetteeloi2620]

THIS is my FAVORITE JM interview of all time. I`ve practically seen them all. But THIS one does it for me. It dethroned the Oxford interview he did many years ago which use to be my favorite interview. The Oxford interview is like the other book end to his great interviews. I can watch this interview over and over again and NEVER get tired of it.

[@ryanriley746]

completely agree! well put

[@winslowwong9719]

His podcast with dean delray was great too

[@tanaya4340]

Omg this is one of his best interviews, I can't help falling in love with him 😩

[@eferro7903]

What an amazing interview. Stuff like this is why I continue to become a bigger fan of John as time goes on.

[@marcelodellamea]

One of the best interviews with John. Thanks! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lordgraga]

One of the best JM interviews I've seen/heard. So many gold nuggets.

[@TheRealLange21]

I love how he seems to know that as great as he is and as much as he tries, he'll never be able to sound exactly like Jerry. Nobody can, Jerry was so unique. He gets very, very close to Jerry, but it's not a 100% replica. So he puts a little bit of himself in it and creates something fresh. It's great. I've seen Dead & Co live 8 times, and every time there's always little moments in the songs when you can hear John being John instead of Jerry. He does such an incredible job of carrying on the music for the old Heads and the new generation alike.

[@mayankneil1]

Soo true!!

[@tombiondi9969]

I loved Jerry just like a lot of people. I think Jerry would have LOVED John because of his playing and his personality.

[@LowdenOs]

JM has grown soooooo much over the years ... I really started to like him only recently (couple'o'yrs) but he has really learnt his lessons ... such a smart guy.

[@dibyayan388]

20:35 this is exactly how I feel about the early 2000's when listening to John's music from back then.

[@jameshamer3173]

23:40 JM is like the caring dad of songwriters

[@gszenderski]

Thank you so much JM for making me look up and listen to Bill Evans.

[@DaveElke]

John Coltrane is my Bill Evans. It’s like going to church when A Love Supreme is on. This is a deep conversation, loving it.

[@carterwatson1949]

This is one of my favorite conversations with John & I never heard of Eric but he seems like such a genuine guy & a great musician.

[@brian91145]

JM seems like such a cool guy

[@hazemsherif3120]

john reached a point where he's thinking deeply about everything and can use words to express his thoughts in a totally higher level to the average human being.

[@judetteeloi2620]

That`s precisely what I love about him.

[@skierpage]

John Mayer is far more verbal than most musicians and he finds himself endlessly fascinating, but he's not on a "totally higher level", he's actually not that great a communicator because as he sings on "My Stupid Mouth" Mama said, think before speaking No filter in my head There's a reason there's no "books by John Mayer" section on Amazon. I came here after listening to Joscha Bach talk, now that's higher-level thinking.

[@hazemsherif3120]

@@skierpage i agree with you yet when i think about it not that many people either on KZbin, TV or in our daily life thinks or speaks like him so yes he is on another level for me.

[@skierpage]

@@hazemsherif3120 yes I sounded too harsh. Many songwriters are terrible interviewees, they can't express interesting thoughts about their process and great compositions. JM is reliably insightful. I like how he says he starts talking already on page 12 of the book of his idea, so it's fractured and often opaque.

[@JacksonMankowski]

"Great music.. makes you think to yourself, did I love a woman in 1962?" ~ That's some real shit.

[@JordanLippman]

I loved hearing from John again

[@judetteeloi2620]

Also, I fell in love with JM`s music when I first heard ``Dreaming with a broken heart`` it let me know he was more than just your standard issue pop singer. BUT I fell in love with JM when I heard him speak in an interview. His speaking will always trump all his gifts for me. Maybe because I`m a Sapiosexual. Its like a 2 in 1 bonus...you get a legendary musician AND he`s a genius what did we do to deserve this is how I feel about this man.

[@azmomconnection]

Giiiirl.... So he's like my prototype. Have you found a partner even a little like him?

[@margiesplace259]

Wait til the whole world gears whats really going on out there in the world, We are all cocooning coming out as butterflies at the end of all of this. Love this interview John did a great job

[@iDannyism]

This is a sentence everyone needs to learn: "Okay, I think I know what you're saying, but could you say it again a little more explicitly." Think what you want about John Mayer, but the guy tries incredibly hard to listen. He really focuses on paying attention and giving his best answers every time.

[@adamtaylorguitar]

Thanks for posting this! I'd love to hear that collaboration between John and Eric.

[@dennismurphy8375]

You had me at guitar...Classic John Mayer - only you can be you bro...I be hugging cool riffs...if you ever get riff-block and I know that's a thang...let me know I got you...bravo!!!

[@pedroaguirre258]

Hearing a song that you like for the first time and is or isnt a Hit, just renew the faith on yourself to make music.

[@pawelzabicki7785]

John, articulate and reflective as always. :)

[@mcl6107]

I think when you're younger, the fire in your creative output is a reflection of the self-discovery of your experience. When you get older, perhaps you're not discovering as much new, or you're not as fascinated as you were when you made all those associations as a youngster. Start seeing more experiences as fragments of the same game and sitting with them, as opposed to feeling the need to get it out there...

[@IndyDead]

Thanks, guys. I tell my wonderful daughter repeatedly that the "subconscious truth that you should investigate" is the key to the highway of being dialed into something much bigger than oneself.

[@JoeEndozo]

Thanks for posting this! Been thinkin bout it all morning

[@tonefish3825]

I just watched the Joe Perry Rig Rundown and the way his tech described his setup each night says exactly what John is saying. He doesn't have a number 1 guitar or even a set guitar for a song. Improvises his tone nightly. Joe said "I don't want to be an Aerosmith cover band, I want to be inspired"

[@donnaroper5086]

This is your old friend in Greenville S C glad to hear from you and see you again!! I have been concerned about you these last few weeks!! This Cornovirus has been bad for all humans in every part of the world!! I continually listen to your music to get me through these times!! I don’t tweeter or stream but great with txt and e mail!! Donna H Roper

[@donnaroper5086]

John please send me a message and let me know,if you are OK! I know your Dad was in assisted living and no visitors! My Mom was in assisted living and passed away Tuesday!! It was not Covid but I thought of all the months I missed seeing her!! You looked me up one rime I am sure when I gave you my full name and location , if you could just txt me , I have had same phone number for years!! I maybe 70 , look like I am 50 ,I don’t know why that should matter only that I have been sick for 2 and a half years and been to Johns Hopkins and Duke University and they say I will never walk again without a walker and that is just not me!! I have tried to intelligently come to terms with it but I can’t!!! As I said before I am not a stalker I just think I have replaced you as my son since my son died!! I know you think I might be crazy but believe me I am not but wish I was!! It is hard to get crazy with IQ of 148! I just couldn’t tell you about my illness the same time e I was talking about my son committing suicide it really would have sounded not real!!! I worry because you are a legend and alone and also a man of high IQ one can always recognize another!! This whole year is like f-k this!! Anyway don’t know that you will ever see this but I keep you and my music in my heart!!

Some people use HiFi gear and systems to listen to music. Others use music to listen to the equipment. So JM's philosophy also transposes to the end user of music.

From this pre-planned interview John Mayer is the best thing that exist in life..no you been rickrolled

[@MatthewDavisMusic]

At 16.50, he says that he’s far too comfortable with people, and then what does he say after that? He has to do what in his living room? Current something?

current mood, it's his instagram podcasty kind of thing, follow him on instagram, every sunday he releases an episode

@@skierpage Start from the beginning - Room for Squares. The few songs of his they play on the radio DO NOT tell the whole story. He is the most versatile and skilled songwriter and guitarist.

He doesn’t need his expensive barber and not that hard to understand. What’s the problem? He needs a haircut he can get it right at home. End of story. What’s a rock star to you? He’s not one. You’re just saying he’s so great he’s a rockstar to you? Ok. Moving on and get over it.
