John Mayer - Wheel - Live from Max Sessions

[@psvth3b3st]

John Mayer always gives some extra to his live performances. Love it how he always gives another twist to his songs when he plays them live.

3:50 - the fill that would eventually make its way into gravity!

[@JonKaneshiroGuitar]

his clean tones are just so amazing. it may seem thin at times, but it is so pleasing to the ear

[@oliverandm]

Falling asleep to this song only assures you're gonna wake up with a smile! It's one of the most comfortable songs i've ever heard, both lyrically and musically it's just so complete it hurts my brains xD!

[@aw0193]

5:31 He brings so much passion in his music

[@ddferrer]

My favorite John Mayer song. Beautiful lyrics, message, music, and solo.

[@dcjlove]

Agreed. "I believe, that my life's gonna see, the love I give, return to me" Those are absolutely religious lyrics for me!

[@fedegiby]

one of his best songs I believe and the playing just makes it even more soulful

[@Almogmonn]

I bar my index finger on the tenth fret then take my pinky off the second string (13th fret) and down to the sixth (13th fret) for the second chord.

[@brunaestevanin]

such an underrated song. one of his masterpiece's, for sure

[@benwade7334]

one of John's best songs, and that says a lot...

[@NeoSoul6]

I believe that my life's gonna see, the love I give returned to me.

[@callyjohnwell]

love this song - live or album. I got into mayer through his blues in continuum but i realized how good he makes pop sound. He surely raises the bar for pop music as far as musicality goes.

[@cs16331]

Rare mistake/ wrong note at about the 4:00 mark. I point out it because of how he handled it. He didn’t make a face or a grimace or even acknowledge it. He just kept playing. Amazing musicianship

[@Tylertbon]

It's about the different relationships you have in life. Breakups, get togethers, hookups, endings, and beginnings and how it all continually rotates throughout your life. The backbone is repeated in he end, he hopes that the more love he gives the more he receives despite everything else.

[@NatIonality999]

absoluitely love this song. oh my goodness. so good.

[@jorihaar]

Aahh the melody is so catchy! And the solo is awesome.... Just like the solo in come back to bed from max sessions

[@vitor3000]

just brilliant

[@dimeb135]

not to mention puree talent and skill.

[@nebulae87]

4:05 nearly made me cry. "you can find me baby...if you ever want to give. I'll be around the bend" :(

[@rynman47]

Yeah, the solo from this song is amazing.

[@nandaah09]

love it!

[@StephenRothDeveloper]

@abolocks Thanks for the encouragement, I have been practicing and now I have a three fret stretch of the thumb at mid neck, but I am still working on the 4 fret stretch at the 12th fret, almost there!

[@justfavoritevids]

You can't dislike this !

[@isabeluska1]

Amazing

[@donmichael3781]

Why hello there, IWC Big Pilot on John's wrist. We meet again.

[@live4491]

he's always wearing my favorite number, 44 :)

[@showstoppa47]

holy shit. 6:20 and on gives me the biggest chills ever.

[@JonKaneshiroGuitar]

Any idea what amp that is at the 1:49 mark? It has an oval grill cloth and blue power light?

[@kleinball]

the two-rock amps and custom strats help, it'd be nice to have the best of the best equipment available...

[@SupernothingTK]

This is one of my favorite songs of his. I don't like his voice much here for some reason but that solo was so beautiful.

[@hampson2]

"gorilla hands" That made me laugh :D I am on the same boat as you though, man!

[@StockholmSyndrome08]

I have super small hands, adult sized gloves are always too big for me :( Everybody notices how miniature my girlish hands are, but somehow I still get this just fine, so I wonder whether its more down to have a certain amount of strength and bend in your thumb, rather than having large hands. I use the exact same guitar as he does in the video too, so neck size plays no part.

[@leofranklinn22]

That song...

[@pantera6]

i cant get to the second bass note with my thumb, trust me ive tried many times...

[@StephenRothDeveloper]

@kaneoheGrown glad to know that I am not the only one who can't do the 13x101210x (the second chord) the book calls it Fadd2. It is physically impossible for me, and it totally bums me out as this is one of my favorite songs. I have been playing it without the thumb on the 13th fret... but it is such a light bass song that you can notice... Can anyone give me some pointers for an alternative way to play this?

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

the wrong note is an Ab, or the b3 of the scale. the reason it sounds so jarring is that we are in Fmajor, so the bear mi3 against the maj3 is quite the clash. That clash is actually what makes the blues the blues sound, but thats because of its phrasing. Unintended note, definatley. Thinking about music in terms of worng/right in counter-productive. Unintended most certainly.

[@mynameissol]

@kaneoheGrown just play the 8th fret on the A string, that's what I do, it's the same thing

[@antony5linteau]

@spiffcorgi you said it all :P

[@KEPHALLE]

do you know Michel Petrucciani? think of him everytime you feel you'll never reach your musical goals.

[@gerisyandrayusman9595]

keur euweuh tattoan...

[@spiffcorgi]

@callyjohnwell The music isn't really what I'd call "pop" though. It has catchy melodies like pop but pop is forever changing. The Black Eyed Peas are classed as "pop" and so is Lady Gaga. They're nothing like Mayer. I think Mayer creates an absolutely astonishing coalition of pop, rock, blues and jazz which is why he's one of my favourite musicians on the planet. You can't call him any straight genre, really.

[@ffallenaangel]

@spiffcorgi its soull

[@fc7alibi]

I was about to write the same thing :(

[@afg22ify]

@callyjohnwell Yeah you got on the best path in discovering Mayers music. He's a gifted blues musician but he opted to stop "introducing" blues to the mainstream. That's a shame in my opinion, he was very inovating in doing it. And this last album he wanted to change his style so badly that it lost all the depth except for Edge of Desire. Continuum is still is masterpiece, but Covered in Rain, Why Georgia, Wheel, Clarity, Man on the side.. What a great artist. My favourite at least.

[@Jonjey2112]

What do you consider pop about this song? I'd call this some sort of subgenre of soul.

[@aFrantasia]

use your thumb, trust me mate, couldn't play it until i realised he did. :L

[@jogabola]

did he play a wrong note at 3:59?

[@shawnfraser16]

THAT THUMB IS SO LONG

[@123bitterbro123]

@kaneoheGrown bar the 10th and it'll stop you from moving your thumb from 10-13

[@paulherzmann7258]

LOLOLOL

[@OscarRichardson]

@thedesignbystephen x8(5)585

[@ericmcast]

@kaneoheGrown Stick with it. I have tiny girly hands (I'm a man) and I was able to get it. :) He does have Gorilla hands, though.

[@cortei209]
