John Mayer - Back To You (Acoustic)

[@lambda494]

I've loved this track since 2002 when I first heard it. Had a random dream about it randomly. It's timeless.

[@Ela1337]

What was the dream about?

[@lisaproust638]

This is by far the most complex song I’ve ever heard I cannot find a decent cover ... Only HE can go up and down with his voice in such a spectacular manner I didn’t know how good he was until I searched for 2,5 hours for a cover and failed to find one ... his voice here is unreal

[@Drew-jm7kc]

Not even mentioning how insane his guitar is. Mayer is a special talent

[@gabrielsparda5994]

Check my cover, I try my best kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZCzXqqVpaZlqKc

i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Ayaan Alberto instablaster ;)

[@ayaanalberto7712]

@Yahir Adan Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@TGWotring1]

That is one of the most crisp guitar sounds ive ever heard mayer produce.....one of the few who can play a song very crisp, yet silky smooth and mistake free.....and to top it off at the end he says mother fuc*** yeah and the world is a peace.

[@tomanderson9462]

If i could say, "Motherfucker yeah" like he does at the end, my life would be complete.

[@brendahawkins3965]

Hi would 💕 to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/immknqKHlshpic0

[@ShorsBones]

I can lol

[@beccahaywood7636]

He's so talented it's scary. His skills are so damn amazing!

[@drakeryker5858]

Once in a generation talent is what i call this, btw nice to see someone coming back to this (no pun intended)

[@asmit_plays]

I grew up with this

[@viniciusguedes6443]

I'm swimming in a sea of faces trying to find my way to you but it's no use, in a crowded room where everybody wants you

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some old-school JM fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my channel. Real live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace out.

[@TheKlauspc]

this part should be on the album

[@tattoofthesun]

this is my favorite john mayer song, for the meaning, the memory of the first time i heard it and because i love the intro on the CD witht he drums..... but really, i go back to that girl so often, i see her this weekend as a matter of fact, so cheers for real with this one!

[@carpenoctem7307]

Damn that guitar part is catchy af in this version

[@561S]

I caught myself bobbing my head at the beginning of the song without realizing. The mighty power of John.

[@Zerkxh]

How awesome is the first 23 seconds.... Takes you away to your own world.

[@Torikan]

This is pretty awesome. He filled in for the band very well with the acoustic

[@jumpmonky1]

Captainhere, this was performed in Athens at the 40 Watt, you can find songs from the performance on John Mayer Tapes channel...fly away like a hummingbird hehe

[@camarolkee]

it's near 2012 and i still keep on coming BACK TO YOU, to this song, really like it..

[@i.m.4044]

Jan Plot 2018 and i still keep coming back

[@i.m.4044]

@Empricus wow....it's been 3 years.

[@etmaille]

2023 and until forever this exact version will stay with me as one of my favorite songs ever

[@dari1O]

[@MusicalManchild77]

Yes. John is an Odd Bird. But A MotherFucker Player and Songwriter.

This is a live performance from a show that took place August 23, 2000 at the 40 Watt club...it's not the Inside Wants Out version.

[@ajcblanco]

dela + mayer = magic

[@csanchezcuba]

but well the reason I decided to log in the first place... this song is awesome in acoustic, I had never heard of this version until recently, is so badass sounding, ive been trying to get it but as with all of john songs, its freaking hard, even trying to come up with the chords is hard seeing him play, imagine without seeing his hands...

[@PeterZeeke]

shows how important bass is to this song

[@brendahawkins3965]

PeterZeeke my 16 year old grandson played a version of this recently. Would love to know what you think kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYCmnHuth7inmZo

[@joehorton5048]

"MOTHERFUCKER YEEEAAAH"

[@raymondfowler6014]

best version of this song ever!!!

[@bizzmartin9213]

I used to go to HUdson Valley Commmunity Collge in Troy, NY and lived in a Dorm/Apt "morrison Manor"... I was one of about 5 white kids that lived in this 200+ student housing.. i was just learning guitar and my Neighbor , this bad ass Black dude from Newark would hear me play that opening riff and said "Thats my intro music, Whenever you hear me walking down the hall. play that shit"

[@heathinvaderstudios]

i got a 2 disk cd of "room for squares" from the local library, and the "acoustic" version on disk #2 was a little different. the drums & bass guitar were still there, but the electric guitar was replaced by the acoustic guitar. played the exact same tab, though. disk #2's tracklist was as such: 1. epk. - an intimate session with john mayer 2. back to you (acoustic) 3. no such thing (acoustic) 4. lenny (stevie ray vaughan cover) (live) 5. the wind cries mary (jimi hendrix cover) (live)

[@walkerw5932]

you commented a long time ago but it sounds like the japanese release of room for squares

[@heathinvaderstudios]

@@walkerw5932 You’re probably right. And WOW, that old comment of mine was from nine years ago. Who would’ve thought? 🤣

[@superigno]

Never gets old

[@BigYoch43]

INCREDIBLE!! That just became my favorite Mayer song! Thanks for sharing, partner!

[@torduc22]

sounds like he's down tuning it to C, which is the one and only song, Neon :)

[@4TheMus1c]

Think we should all know by now that chaferbud is john mayer haha. And even if he's not, thank you thank you thank you!!

[@luisknott5424]

Fantastic!

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

In their defence, Oasis and Ocean Colour Scene have tunes which are recorded in teh studio with applause and crowd noises dubbed on, its quite a cool effect actually. But yeah, this is live: you can hear its recording the vocals coming out of speakers... And this tune is a TUNE. top notch! :D

[@darylferreras6241]

Motherfucker yea! Its 2023 and i keep coming back to this song...

[@pipocavenenosa]

John Mayer, come to Brazil

[@k.pintoirish]

I love this song from the firs chord!

Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/immknqKHlshpic0

[@theDanDeleon]

Brenda Hawkins that’s a solid cover. Ur grandson has a lot of talent. Thanks for sharing! I wish the audio was better, do you know how it was recorded?

[@brendahawkins3965]

Dan Deleon thanks for your kind comments, I know the sound quality is not great that is because all the songs on this channel were recorded on an iPhone at live gigs / open mics. This is effected by the quality of the hosts equipment, the noises from the crowds and the limits of the iPhone recording ability, That does not make for brilliant recordings but it does show Josh’s ability to produce a watchable performance dispute the difficulties. Can I point you to Josh’s other KZbin channel which is more dedicated to his home recordings and produce a better sound quality. Please have a look kzbin.info

[@theDanDeleon]

@@brendahawkins3965 I'll def take a look at the channel. Also, I went to school for audio engineering so I can make a high recommendation for something like the Zoom H1. They're great for the price, about 100 bucks, and better audio quality. Best of luck to you and Josh!!

[@brendahawkins3965]

Dan Deleon thanks Dan we bought him a Zoom for his 18th birthday a couple of weeks ago 👍🏻

[@mauricioblanco3544]

Why isn't this version on Spotify!

[@Jakemusicful]

This is from Inside Wants Out.

[@idjit7298]

Bassline Is way more chilling 😮

[@MsEmoprincess1998]

I'm so scarred to tell him I still live him, I'm waiting for him to tell me even tho I know tht I shouldn't...we just got over the awkward stage n r back to tlking band he was so happy, he's always starring at me and blushing and smiling and I wonder if he still loves me too...I always go back to him...

[@tayDdD]

whoever said this is from inside wants out is wrong. it's from room for squares, hehe love that one

[@sunny4lady]

@guitarst69 I agree, just awsome..wish that part was a bit longer :)

[@Shoz3344]

Just watch this tab: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/john-mayer/back-to-you-tabs-29401 Open this tab and watch out for Part 1 [Verse]. The chords you finde there beneath are the chords Mayer is playing (at least for the intro and first verse), just with some little variation he does with his pinky at the beginning.

[@oredaniel]

@@Shoz3344 oh god thank you, i was trying to figure it out but was off in a few parts

[@Haskeir]

@andy21212121rfggadg no this was the only electric song on "inside wnats out"

[@maristereo]

chaferbud, im almost sure you're John Mayer.

[@Kentheinfinite]

Does anyone know where I can learn this?

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

Basically, the cliche is "its the least you could do", but he is playing with that cliche by making it explicit to the situation, since she didnt smile. So "the least you could not do" is the thing he wanted her to do: but she didnt do it. Make sense? :)

[@dhruvpathak1850]

Is this version played with a capo ?

[@Shoz3344]

Nope, standard tuning without capo. Just watch this tab: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/john-mayer/back-to-you-tabs-29401 Open this tab and watch out for Part 1 [Verse]. The chords you finde there beneath are the chords Mayer is playing (at least for the intro and first verse), just with some little variation he does with his pinky at the beginning.

@@alfiemusic1370 I sent you a link, but I think KZbin doesn't let users to paste links on the comments unless they are KZbin links. Just search on Google: "John Mayer Back to You acoustic tab" You will see a lot of results. Do click on the header with says "BACK TO YOU by John Mayer" from the Ultimate-Guitar page. The author of the tab is one guy called "zpeed" and the last modification of the tab was on December 5, 2016. I tell you this, 'cause probably you will find more tabs of Back to You linked to the website when you search "John Mayer Back to You acoustic tab" on Google.
