Change It - Doyle Bramhall II and John Mayer (Crossroads 2013)

Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013

[@mikegrand4181]

I love reading all the negative comments from wanna be hacks. Two great musicians giving us a rockin rendition in tribute to another who passed too soon.

[@AP-ui7oi]

Anything negative about these two cats is ridiculous. Coming from people who's giging experience is at Guitar Center or infront of their dog at home.

[@Phubby]

It’s all about doing what you can to embrace what you enjoy but hopefully give everyone something they’ve all loved while not being too corny it’s hard man

[@KarlaMcMeans]

The writer of the song at that. Written by Doyle Sr for SRV.

[@jcsegura6541]

Doyle Bramhall II is a genius

[@ACE-us4oh]

I love this track! I never realised that SRV didn’t write the song?! What a beautiful tribute by Doyle. In my view Doyle is one of the most underrated musicians in the world today💯

[@georgesheffield1580]

Father and son both outstanding . Mayer too.

[@albertaddad364]

He play. Like Albert king the bass chords down

[@MrDino1953]

Fact is, he’s not under-rated at all. He’s famous and well-appreciated. You hear all those people clapping, see all the views his videos get??

[@robdemare8250]

Your pops deserved way more credit! And mam you kill it for him; Mayer is great too!

[@ACE-us4oh]

I can’t say a solitary negative word about Doyle! I think he is an incredible musician💯

[@hubriswonk]

Doyle Sr was a great guy and always took the time to talk to me after his shows. Very genuine and may he RIP.

[@KarlaMcMeans]

I absolutely love this version! Keeps coming to the forefront of my brain & I have to listen again over & over!

[@brothergilam4031]

Doyle is the coolest person walking this planet

[@theanthonyv]

1000%. He’s the real deal. The world pees it’s collective pants over John Mayer, but Doyle is the guy John wishes he could be.

[@Alicia1984NL]

Love this version. Stays in my head and I keep listening to it. Great effort. Real musicians. :-)

[@KarlaMcMeans]

I completely agree! An amazing version (my favorite) that keeps coming to the forefront of my brain. 😊

[@ELI-qm6bx]

GOOSEBUMPS, TEARS AND A SMILE. 💜

[@staciecarverd8136]

I loved the SRV version of this, it still continues to be one of my favorite songs of all time; but this is amazing in its own right as well. A wonderful treat to stumble across it this evening.

[@RobinLull]

Doing Daddy proud. Great job Doyle~

[@RobinLull]

Nice work by John as well!

[@dougcollier259]

I had an interview with his father, great guy. One of them would be advertised to play a show and, quite often the audience showed up and saw the wrong Doyle Bramhall. He added, though, that the fans always left satisfied, because they both put on great shows. I was really ignorant going into the interview. As it progressed, I'm thinking, holy,,,,I'm interviewing a very important figure in music history.

I always thouht that Stevie wrote the lyrics to this song :) RIP to your father what a beautiful song!

[@gracefeutz997]

Respect !! Doesn't get any better than this.

[@nickb3250]

Wow, so many negative comments. I'm sure if John wasn't wanted on stage, he wouldn't have been there. You're all making a fuss of nothing

[@AP-ui7oi]

I've John Mayer live three times. He's amazing. I've see Doyle about 10 ten times...He's amazing too. Negative comments are not worthy.

[@tszegvary]

I think the recording is just really bad, the acoustic sounds are too muddy....doesn‘t sound good. I am sure live it sounded fantastic.

[@sonofrichard5875]

RIP Doyle Sr. Doyle Jr., true artistic beast, you don't need Mayer. He is a beast in and of himself. You are both beasts. I need two more albums by 2019. No excuses, just do it...

[@gasar8964]

All the love goes up to Big Doyle & Stevie Ray 👍👏💯

[@sloburnjo]

this is Literally 'The Crossroads' Rightiousness to the left and John Mayer to the right. DBII is blessed.

[@annaholder-eb7bb]

Doyle is awesome and so is John. And, it don't hurt that Doyle is awful easy on the eyes❤😅

[@WynneRichardson]

Respect + Wisdom

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤️ we got a smile out of Doyle ❤️

[@BurgerGrabber]

you dont play this song unless you are a real stevie fan. most ppl learn pride and joy at some point. but stevie had a lot of overlooked songs like this one that were also really good.

[@SamSveistrup]

everyone of his is incredible sometimes i skip wham but i'm usually listening to or playing him everyday

[@SamSveistrup]

I said hey Siri play wham as soon as I saw someone like my comment tho

[@elliottfuimaono5771]

this song was written by Doyle's Dad,pretty cool connection

[@deandee8082]

Doyle wrote this song FFS

[@donjohn2695]

They shouldn't have bothered Doyle and John ain't fit to wear SRV jockstrap

[@nannetteleonard2973]

I love this! I remember watchin Doyle play this at frogers long ago, always been my most favorite

[@potterman83]

I was there and that set was awesome. When you know about dissonance them talk about it, and when you have the balls to play in duo in msg then we will talk again..

[@sheefree]

Two of my faves 🌷😌🙏🏼🌹💓

[@williambourke6620]

Great stuff from both of them. They really played with gusto

Change It Lyrics You can't change it You can't re arrange it If time is all that we got Then baby lets take it Loving is loving The moment is right It's worth all the years in the past Lets go one more night Get away from the blind side of life Honey I want you to be by my side Me and my backdoor moves ain't no more Get away from the blind side of life Honey I want you to be by my side Me and my backdoor moves ain't no more Get away from the blind side of life Honey I want you to be by my side Me and my backdoor moves ain't no more Good night oh my darling Another day is past Forget all the painful memories It's all going to last Lets go little baby Lets go one more time Come on whoa come on I'll slide out the door Lets go lets go

[@larrywhite2574]

A great song and a awesome musician.

[@KarlaMcMeans]

Two awesome musicians!

[@johnhorky7811]

Read y'alls comments from ore the years...not a one mention of the words Bramhall's father wrote or why SRV sang/played it soooo well . AMAZING !

[@billciarallo7502]

he started the song ..giving credit to his dad for writing it for srv

[@marksaulnier2222]

Glad I was sitting only a hundred or so feet away for this

[@druwk]

So tasty! One of my favorite SRV songs…real tribute to Doyle I and SRV. Love Doyle II music, amazing writer, singer, player, performer. John ain’t too bad either 😉

[@myvirtualuniverse]

DB should be as popular as John Mayer, his solo stuff is great....on a technical note, the camera work on Crossroads 13 is poor. Thanks for the upload

[@kirkjohnwiggle]

I've not seen Mayer play acoustic live until this. DB is fantastic and I had to Google him to get his connection to ec. His left handed treatments were spectacular in his appearances with The Master of Blues (ec)..... Mayer is dissed way too much. Separate the personality from the work and it's all good folks . Music is celebration, acrimony it is not.

[@robdemare8250]

This is special...nice job boys!

[@clairecoffey8966]

I respect and like your comment Donald, because I think it embodies the dischord of change/moving on as the motivation..mirrored in the dischord in the range, Mayer being the bass of it, kind of exemplifies the base of a need for change, dischord.. I am bummed i can't find it in a CD though. I am not a streamer..

AMAZING cover!!!!! thanks man....

[@JayMon39]

You don't get the absolute BRILLIANCE of Doyle, unless you play. There, I've said it. John Mayer is no slouch, but he is taking his cues from Doyle here. Seriously. You have to watch Mayer play and towards the end Doyle makes eye contact with him. Then you might see what I'm talking about.

[@sheefree]

Both great 'modern' bluesman, both held in high regard by the old guard blues guitarists. Yes I'm a super fan of both, ,☺️🙏🌷

[@scottavery9108]

Yes

[@Barbara-fd6pv]

WOW

[@TiggerToo27]

This is an awesome live acoustic performance by Doyle Bramhall and John Mayer. It's a total tribute to Doyle's father. John Mayer is one of the world's best guitarists, but he's also a freaking tool. Still, a great performance.

[@troyowens8779]

Anybody have the chords Doyle was playing? I'd love to learn this version.

[@cam-the-bassist]

+Troy Owens if you hold an A major chord with your index finger and then put your middle finger on C (on the A string) while still holding the A chord with your index finger - that's the riff. SO it's AA-CC-AA-CC- then F major. Then on the third time around it goes AA-CC-AA-CC-G maj - F maj-AA-CC etc. Then the chorus is C major - B flat major - F major - AA-CC etc. hope that makes sense

[@brucematlock9520]

If you want to play like Doyle, lear how to play left handed and upside down. You might get close ... someday!

[@นาดดีไม่รู้]

Good

[@markkennard861]

These guys are awesome but man its so difficult not to compare this with SRVs version. Chalk and cheese.

[@budskyjak3263]

Play on DB II, play on...

[@theafrogang1927]

Unfucking real

[@Idevournarcissist]

John just learned something from Doyle

[@bradnelson4778]

Doyle doing justice to his dad. John out of sorts here. Go and have a look at the version by Gal Nisman and Idan Shneor - by far the best acoustic version you will hear and second only to SRV. All great musicians just the same.

[@operationremodel]

DB2 just naturally cool and real and JM is a huge poser

[@paulvsmith]

BD II has a great voice.

[@Kevin12321]

Wait. Is dB playing upside down?!?!

[@zac3392]

Always does...

[@HellbillyHalloween]

It’s called being left handed

[@Kevin12321]

@@HellbillyHalloween numb nuts. Normally left handed people will string it upside down... his strings are are still as if he was playing right handed

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

[@christopherdewalt663]

See,John Mayer you would make my life fulfilled in the ultimate goal to be next to you playing improve,covers,or your published/unpublished ....hell we could chill and if moments and feels get to flowing right,write some songs together..... Just saying I fucking love it all.... Especially when it all comes from you. I could still listen to a -SECURE,CONFIDENT- >MAN< play on a six string in those fashions (FOREVER. ) For eva,eva. For the longest time. No turn back time.... 🤪😘🍀 🙈🙉🙊 P.s. MOST days large crowds can overwhelm me....🙀😿 Sincerely Loved by,👶Okc,ok👣 👣SouthSide~BaBy👶

[@paulanthony36]

That was good. But would have been better with just Doyle. Although I am a john fan as well.

[@eyeta2]

yeah John looks a little nervous, look at his expression around 2:20. I guess I would be too, playing with DB2...holy shit...

[@tahcofan]

hes not nervous its that the emotion is different when a Fender rep hands u a 12-string acoustic guitar backstage u have never played before, u run thru the song once or twice and walk out and play in front of Madison Square Garden and all of Clapton's entourage...he was dominating the song and dominating the guitar. he was having fun but not in auto pilot mode like with his own guitars. that is the face of getting it done the hard way! Mayer is not a nervous player he is confident. He joined the Grateful Dead without really knowing many of the parts to most of the songs. he is not my favorite player but the guy is a professional, and this particular video kicks major ass

[@pschobilly1964]

No Fenders here, tahcofan. Both are Guild guitars. Just an observation... I enjoyed the video. Both guitarists are much more accomplished than I.

[@tahcofan]

Guild was owned by Fender thru 2013, Clapton and Mayer have big Fender endorsements. u bet there were Fender reps were there with those Guilds! Doyle also has an old Guild M-65 from the 60s

[@samanarisingofficial]

@@tahcofan You are correct about Fender endorsements for Mayer and Clapton, but only for electric guitars (and amps for Clapton). They are both endorsed by Martin acoustic guitars and have been for a long time.

[@MaxTovstyiMusic]

Great video but awful sound, why it is clipping?

[@TiggerToo27]

I hate John Mayer, but I love this song.

[@ROH1897]

Some things are best when they're left alone.

[@kevinherd3437]

DB2 is criminally under by the masses but abundantly talented, one of the guitar mags had a top 30 blues guitarist and DB2 wasn't in there, Johnny Lang was though, LoL. That being said, John Mayer is a great axe man too. Probably because he's banged many of the worlds most beautiful women people discount his ability and they're wrong.

[@renatosarabia9574]

Mayer should have played a six string cause he's totally drowning out the other guitar.....his solo would have sounded way better in my opinion

[@robertmantell5466]

I thought John's solo started nice, but then went a little off. He's really quite good though. Sucks about Sr

[@teresapuppo1388]

doyle dai 1000 volti

[@marcocecconi3376]

Il Doyle che preferisco in assoluto é quello con gli occhiali da sole, la collana di SRV, vestito ottocentesco, capelli lunghi raccolti e ancora senza barba, ossia quello degli Arc Angels, 1992.

[@CFALLIS0002]

12 String = Not a Success

[@wriglarzzz]

Agreed

[@SuperCrackerjacks]

Have you seen Stevie`s unplugged? Not success? This duo sounded a bit like amateurs. Doyle sang really well first two verses. Blues is so easy to play, isn´t i?. Anyway I love Doyle!!

Are you joking?! the 12 strings sound chunky and awesome!

[@AP-ui7oi]

Lets hear you play asshole...

[@macreviewz7187]

those 2 don't blend well.(here) ..I'm a fan of both! also 2 x 12-string, way to cluttered sound... plus 2 males with similar vocal range - you're hitting the mid range so hard, you lack the nuance that both artists could shine on otherwise... - not surprising..Imagine Hendrix or SRV playing with a clone of themselves singing together ....at the same time...it might be great..would it be 2 x better than alone, probably not... - either way...these 2 will come together in time... - once they let go who's Eric's best friend, and who's the next SRV...

mmh not powerful as It could be...

John needs to be more vulnerable... was good though... Doyle isna desteoyer tho... fkn killer

[@hilljack68]

No hate for Doyle Bramhall II or John Mayer, but "in my opionion" this is a crappy cover of SRV's "Change It". His dad may have wrote it, but he can't sing it with the same emotion. If you disagree that's fine. Just watch SRV perform it live and come back. Mayer is just out of his league on this one. Great musician, but this is not his forte.

[@lisaclover4021]

🐷hilljack68. YOU ARE CRAP FOR JUDGEING THEMl!! DOYLES BELOVED FATHER COMPOSED MANY GREAT SONGS! BELOVED DOYLE BRAMHALL I, IS PROUD OF DOYLE & JOHN GREAT JOB!! 😇😄😎
