John Mayer - Jones Beach Back Stage Tour (part 3).wmv

Back stage video that john shot for Ustream, part 3 is of his sound check at his recent Jones Beach concert. John play with his new signature model that is coming out, its the less expensive repro of his famous "Black One" guitar.

[@zzcalebzz]

I love how John just picks up a guitar and starts letting loose on it to warm up, and the other guys just kind of softly play a chord or two

I think this is the one profession where you can come home and say damn I can't wait to do that again tomorrow

[@BeefNEggs057]

Til the 100th time and then you need the pills, etc to get you through it. Don’t glamorize other people’s jobs. It’s a lot harder than it seems. Follow that dream though!

Bob playing careless whisper during sound check kills me 😂

[@MsEcstreet]

I love this footage of JoMa and his musicians just chillin' at a rehearsal on Jones Beach. All very low-key and down to Earth. I don't get a vibe of the whole "fame" thing--which is so cool of him just keepin' it real. Jones Beach is a great venue for summer concerts. Lookin' at this, I can just feel the sunshine and smell the salt in the air. I love summers at Jones Beach theatre, and JoMa's music is the perfect go-to summer beach concert to hang with friends. Thanks JoMa for the tour!

It's like WHOA!! I love it and him. And this was only a sound check. A very organic sound check that you can only get to see and hear from A Creative Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING ❣💡🌟💎👑🎄

[@AnthonyEdwardVaughn]

i could watch this man play all day.

[@mnk7711]

Vultures is so tight and groovy here!

[@The19763]

Mayer is in the league of masters now, it must take something special to stay cool up there in that atmosphere and tension... The guys playing at that kind of volumes are playing a different game from most.

[@6whatusay9]

his composure is remarkable.

[@ipodvalentina]

i like the fact that you mostly just hear him on the guitar...it really makes you take notice of how genius the music is

[@rickygamez5064]

Anyone here after they played careless whisperer on the sob rock tour?

[@ilPitproductions]

i love that he says the 1200 dollars one sounds exactly like the custom shop

[@BeefNEggs057]

It does when you have a $80,000 dumble and a $30,000 two rock. Guitars are like 10%. A decent tube Amp is like 50%. You’re abilities 35%. Pedals 5%. You’re still going to sound like crap through a Walmart amp even if you’re JM.

Wow, that tone is thick as molasses!

[@ElAl4ever]

Careless Whisper! I play the Alto Sax and it is sooo much fun pissing people off when I play it :P John just gets right into it though!

[@esprit15d]

john just likes playing. this is not even in front of an audience (except for ustream) but he is still "on". which makes me giddy.

[@onlyonetigger212]

@RubyTuesday93 I think the compression sound is coming from the fact that he was using his fingers during some of the vid. I'm pretty sure he was using a boost pedal.

[@carr0222]

thanks a lot for these backstage vids!!

[@mmg1195]

@mbasketcballb He was promoting the replicas that you can buy and just explaining that they would be similar to the one he was about to play.

[@likenootherhh]

What ?! no 4th part? damn.... :P

[@Gupps0123456]

@mbasketcballb Did you listen to what he said? he was saying that just because it isn't the exact repo of the 'Black1' doesn't mean doesn't sound the same because it has the same spec's but a different finish. Simple as that. There's always going to be people that think that the exact version is the only one that has the same sound and he's correcting that thought

[@onlyonetigger212]

@strato1392 He also might've been using the Ibanez TS808 during Who did You Think I Was.

[@TreyDee45]

i usex to own that guitar and sold it like an idiot 6 months later for 1700 now they sell for 5 grand...

[@richblais9386]

why?!? I have one too and I check ebay every couple of months to see where they're at. Honestly in 20 or 30 years...$$$ i paid 1800 new for mine though. GC Dallas,TX

[@alvincruz12089]

Rich Blais What kind of strat is that? Thanks man.

[@fernank017]

@Alex Snipz No. The "piano black" or "make your own trouble" version of the Black1 is not a custom shop run. It's a Fender Factory Run of the guitar with polyurethane finish on the body and neck. They made 500 of them, and honestly the price is not worth it.

[@fdoninellir]

thats jamming in the key of vultures

[@Bitchflakes666]

why no monitor ?

[@onlyonetigger212]

@strato1392 Holy Grail Reverb, Keeley Katana Boost, and most importantly the pickup is on the neck/middle position.

[@alecstuckey3777]

@deangtrs One of these specific guitars now costs almost 25 grand.

[@kyle.buss_guitar]

do you think hes using a boost pedal, or a compressor.. or both?

[@IPlaySlots1970]

Whats the song that they practiced as a whole band together? The one before they played Vulture?

[@sjf9535]

I think it's chest fever, hope this helps six years later!

Is he still using an Ibanez ts9 in this?

*Plugs cheap guitar into a million dollar sound system at an amphitheathre* - "Yeah... It sounds pretty good!"

[@BeefNEggs057]

$1200 for a piece of cheap alder and cheap maple (thin veneer of rosewood), metal and strings is outlandishly expensive if you think about it. Like $400-$600 is seriously what strats should cost unless they are true 50s/60s strats. Guitar is not really all that important to tone. Swap pickups to decent ones and get it setup right and a player can make it sound amazing through a decent amp (amp is much more important - way more).

[@PeterChunmusic]

$1200? its more like $2100...
