John Mayer - ASK:REPLY

John Mayer answers fan questions in VEVO’s ASK:REPLY series. In this episode he talks about wearing mismatched socks, the song that touches him most during a performance and being an inspiration to young guitar players.

[@DariusVincentHughes]

I love how he so serious about the sock question. Freaking great.

[@emmarink9299]

I messaged him asking how he gets his socks so white. No reply but I live in anticipation. And appreciate this exclusive sock info.

I love how Mayer doesn't take anything serious by sarcastically taking everything seriously.

[@joshblahnamehere2308]

hah, astonishing observation. Somehow stating the what should have been obvious, yet not understood till you clarified for me. :) Accidently went a little over my weed micro-dose. A line like yours is just too inviting to think deep on atm.

John Frusciante & John Mayer Collaboration ..... uuhhhh Goosebumps!!!!

[@pepperjanehq]

Fv E 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮👌 yes! I’m thinking of releasing a covers album called ‘The John Album’, where I do probably something off Paradise Valley, Song To Sing When I’m Lonely or hmm Ricky... and Take Me Home Country Roads (Denver) All Of Me (Legend) and maybe something John Butler... I’m still figuring out HOW country I take this thing ☺️ oh didn’t mean to highjack your comment. I had ‘In Your Atmosphere’ on repeat today for about a 40min drive and I would most def put a JFxJM collab on rpt for longer. There would be so many layers 🎁🎁🎁

[@michaelburns3693]

Yes yes yes!

[@VanisleGirl1961]

what a sweetheart.

[@dillansouthpawtaylor1776]

I had heard about John Mayer when I watched the special features of the Live at Montreux DVD of his idol, MY idol, Stevie Ray Vaughan but had never really heard of his music until I went to Denton, Texas to visit a friend and we had music playing on the tv and Come Back To Bed from Heavier Things came on. I stopped and listened through the whole song. That song made me a John Mayer fan. The guy has soul, has talent, I'm not gay but he's a handsome guy and has a good sense of humor. It's because of his guitar playing that really made me want to learn and experiment and put melody into my guitar playing. Keep being an influence on a lot of people around the world, John. I hope to see you in concert in the near future.

[@el_pabb]

After watching this and watching something more recent you can just tell he's grown as a person. Nice to watch and nice to see. Comforting to know we can all change for the better.

I've got a tatto with the last stanza of Born and raised... Show your face to the morning... It all comes on to the morning. The entired album speaks to me. Speacially the title song and If I ever get around to living. Thank you, John for that album!!!

[@blok31092]

That was awesome, I wish he did more question answer things like this. As a guitarist hearing his journey is so inspiring and my dream is to someday have people lining up outside an arena just to see me. Doesn't get much cooler than that. You the man JM!

John made me start writing songs five years ago. He inspired me to pick up the guitar and create something i still am very proud of today. And the capacity to write music has helped me though a lot of problems in my life, so for that i thank you. Love you John and thank you for inspiring people to become better

[@Dazzleglass21]

I loved seeing this video! John, you are such an inspiration to me, and so many other people. I will forever listen to your music, and be a dedicated fan. Thank you for everything you do.

[@stefdijksman]

This guy always makes me feel awesome. Without him i probably would still not have started playing guitar! If you ever read this John.. well I hope i ever get the privilege of meeting you in person! until then i will look forward to seeing you play the guitar!

I do love his sense of humour and his life observations.

Love how he really tries to use time on thinking the question through, even though he have picked out the question himself and had lots of time thinking about it before he started the video. Mayer..

I'm 17, and 4 years ago John inspired me to pick up a guitar. He's always been my music idol and inspiration. Last month I got a "just keep me where the light is" lyric tattoo from the song Gravity because he's influenced me so much and I always want to keep that with me and show it off. Maybe when I see him live again on the 27th I could somehow get him to initial by the tattoo and then get that added to the piece. If not then, maybe someday!

[@judylmb8254]

Well I must say I have some new respect for John Mayer. When I worked at a hospital, my first job as a charge nurse, there was an intern there that could have been Robert Redford's brother (what he looked like when he did the Butch Cassidy film; gorgeous). I was newly married, and the intern wasn't, but he hung around my desk all the time. He asked me out several times, but of course it was a no. We still became friends, and there was this nurses aide that was not just admiring him, but she thought passionately in love with him and she asked him out to dinner. This poor girl was really heavy and obviously life had not been kind. My heart broke for her, but he was amazing. He tried to be kind, he just didn't say "no," he asked her to have lunch with him and explained to her he was trying to not get involved until school was over, but they could be friends. I was stunned and so proud of him. Men with that kind of compassion are hard to find, and after everything I wish I could have looked into the future and realized the marriage was a poor choice for me; he and I might have been more than friends.
