John Mayer "On the Way Home" Guitar Lesson

[@bhalenMEDIA]

I don't comment on many videos, but I felt compelled to thank you for this haha! This album is something special and i want to learn every song on it. Thanks again!

[@aarons3166]

I like how you open with the intro being the hardest part, then drop some nasty right hand picking like it's no big deal. Thanks for the tutorial, I'll probably just strum my way through the back half haha.

[@AdamCantor]

I was on low sleep when I made this, and I tend to get a little confused/goofy when I'm tired haha. As for the nails, I did major in guitar as an undergrad. I don't coat my nails with anything, but you're right steel can be very rough!

[@AdamCantor]

I get nervous every time I play in front of people. The best way to deal with phobias is repeated exposure. I force myself to play in front of people as much as possible, and I learn how to deal with stress and use it to my advantage. Another factor is practicing. Practice builds confidence. Keep raising the bar while practicing on your own, and your live performances will also get better.

Great playing, great lesson!

[@AdamCantor]

Thanks! I really like the acoustic stuff JM's been doing recently. Very fun to learn and cover.

[@MrPreustingT]

For some reason, I have to see your vids once and i can play it like i've been playing it for years.

[@hfgy7]

its awesome you took the time to teach this....i subscribed...youre a great musician.

[@Orcblaster]

Dude, awesome job! You have a fantastic ear, and thanks for sharing!

[@firefly4444]

Beautiful lesson alan ....but would like to point out one small thing that i saw in live john mayer concert while playing this song was that during the last section of the intro instead of hammering ur pinky from 2nd to 5th fret john mayer does a pull off from 2nd to 0 fret....else everything was perfect

[@JustSebon]

Thank you, man! Really kind of you doing this

[@peterottosson5053]

Its a little hard to follow at times, but you are still a good teacher and you rock at playing and it still helped so thanks for this. You seem very nice too, just keep working on your teaching method:P

[@MrSanderrrG]

Many thanks for this. That intro lick really has an Irish feel to it. I should do a riverdance cover ^^

[@truffle.kookie]

Thanks for the advice Adam!

[@Gtraxx1]

Dude this is awesome, such a great song/lesson. New album in 2 days.. cough* cough*

[@marifersh7]

amaizing tutorial, thank you very much :)

[@snowcoveredtracks]

You're nails are rad. Are you a classical guitar student? Tough to not have them break or wither if there is no coating on acoustic strings huh? This is excellent, you're ever so kind to put this out. Thanks for teaching so well! Gave me some good laughs in this given your modesty, as well as a new song to play. Thanks again!

[@xibuya]

u play very well man !!

[@christomicic1]

dude you so awsome haha thank you so much for this. subscribed forsure

[@AdamCantor]

No problem. Good luck with your audition!

[@truffle.kookie]

Awesome, sounds good :), thanks for taking the time to reply, your awesome! I'll definitely check it out now thanks again!

[@truffle.kookie]

Hey Adam :), Love all your covers, learn so much :D I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on Gabrielle Aplin's "Panic Cord"? I'm trying to learn it buy ear, but i can't quite get the finger picking. Trying to learn this song for an audition, there aren't any tabs online, just chords and strumming and I really want to learn the acoustic version (finger picking). It would be amazing if you could!

[@YogaWithMike]

you're incredible

[@Snowingblacksnow]

like the videos, good teaching some is right on, I'd like to see some Mraz, more Mayer, and Sheeran for sure!!!! Do this and I will name Earths star after you.

[@AdamCantor]

+Jeremy S Thanks, I have multiple tutorials for each of them on my channel!

[@ErikhetViking]

Thank you, this was great. :-)

[@karli34]

Nice tutorial - thanks for sharing! In the Info/Description it reads "Uke: Kala Tenor" ... guess this is a rather Taylor guitar ;)

[@AdamCantor]

Ah thanks. That's my default description and sometimes I forget to change it.

[@AdamCantor]

Hi Rebeka, Don't know if I have time to make a tutorial, but let me point you in the right direction. The pattern is very similar to "Time of Your Life" by Green Day. Here's a tutorial for how to fingerpick that: /watch?v=xoM-M6P08uo The strings you pluck might change for certain chords, but the basic pattern and rhythm will be maintained. Hope this helps! Cheers, Adam

[@vitalismed]

Adam, I have a question for you. Have you ever had a problem at performing? I mean being nervous and stuff. Because it's terrible for me, no matter how hard i try, my fingers shake the life out of me when I'm performing, even for the smallest group of people and I sound horible. How can one deal with this?

[@AdamCantor]

these are d'addario light gauge

[@AdamCantor]

That makes two of us.

[@stevenrao3017]

Thankyou so much :)

[@AdamCantor]

Happy to help!

[@austindavies607]

[@jakeflanagan7431]

[@sharonlike]

No u didn't say at the first ...

[@pranukvs]

lol I thought it was your pet mouse !!

[@willhelliwell]

Hey Adam Cantor, thanks for sharing this tutorial! You've got a nice relaxed teaching style. I've still got the second half of the song to learn but I made a short video of myself playing the first half after working through your tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4ium6iHjZ6VetU

[@AdamCantor]

Sounds great, well done!

[@willhelliwell]

Cheers Adam! Thank you for watching.
