That whole album is awesome

[@SummitGuitarSchool]

[@Jagermeistery]

Definetely, the album that we can see john's maturity as songwriter.

[@SummitGuitarSchool]

[@dommccaffry3802]

That martin is beyond beautiful

[@kimberlykairo]

Awesome John Mayer picking. Love it. Love him

[@tomyates2551]

His best album.

[@mariomatusmusic]

my favorite album for sure !

[@mercharris5266]

That was amazing. I wonder how much influence Jerry’s playing has made on that song. At same time, Meyer’s style is so recognizable

[@bsherbine]

None

[@jimbobaggins27]

This song was written years before Mayer even got into the Dead so yeah none. I can see what you mean though

[@TheClickParade]

@@jimbobaggins27Actually John had already gotten into the Grateful Dead’s music by that time, so I wouldn’t rule it out even though it would be another couple years before Dead&Co became a thing.

[@satyaacharya611]

This was just before he really got into the Dead. In an interview he said the Don Was gave him a copy of the Working Man’s Dead, but didn’t get into it much until the aftermath of his granuloma issue. Pretty insane how Dead-adjacent this song is either way!

[@michaeldorcey9305]

Just amazing

[@pauljennings7316]

Thanks for sharing John. I thought I had all worked out,but there are a couple of runs I have been doing differently/wrong.

[@canyonproductions7683]

This dude has become one of THE best mainstream artists.

[@richadambudgen7520]

Yeah considering he is in the mainstream he is one helluva player

[@dwp6061]

[@user-kl1rr6vy5p]

This is a nice video. I love the atmosphere ❤ I'm a singer in Korea, too:) I will see you at the BLUE NOTE tokyo at the end of this year!

[@kweinfurt]

More like these, please!

[@danieldiaz9948]

Freakin John Mayer, writes guitar riffs so hard they even trip up John Mayer sometimes! Honestly, seeing him stumble a few times made me feel a lot better about the weeks/months I’ve spent banging my head on the wall trying to learn some of his songs while cursing my parents genetics for not giving me the thumb length of a spider monkey

[@dxdelafu]

See you Saturday at the AAC in Dallas!

[@Mun_Marann]

Wishing to get a guitar gift from John🎸

[@darioscomicschool1111]

I want to learn this and play it as Liquid as John does GOD!

[@user-hn1kq7nz8z]

❤❤❤

[@jjcnau]

What guitar is this?

[@saharamarocain7834]

🙏👍🎩💚❤

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

F-ing phenomenal

[@jcrit743]

Yoo is John using a word processor?

[@_dnk]

goofy hat great song

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

Such a killer song he gave us.

[@mitchellphillips4691]

>shredding

[@eljosecamero]

some please help me out, what is he doing at 0:47, i cant figure it out, he goes up the neck for a second before returning to the G and i cant figure it out..thank you :)

[@user-rz9yg1lt9e]

So it’s just a bar with the ring finger across the 9th fret 2,3,4 strings making a C bar chord,but ignoring the capo it would be an E chord. So a B chord to an E,then back to the B then down to an A chord. John likes to use the Hendrix style of the chords by using his thumb for the root. Hope I helped :)

[@eljosecamero]

@@user-rz9yg1lt9e ohhhh, so it’s just a Cmaj triad second inversion! Thank you so much, I imagined something much more complicated but you’re right! :D

[@MSC-Songwriter]

*Man that's cool.....flatpicking a bit. It ain't easy. I love when he laughs at a riff...I do that shit too...sometimes it just tickles*

[@Bigrich6400]

I would be curious to ask John about the inspiration behind this melody. Hearing this early version without vocals, I swear it sounds like something right out of a James Taylor song

[@landonbohinc8146]

Jesus loves you all!

[@DaCheat100]

My favourite John Mayer album by a country mile (pun intended)

[@ThePnikola007]

what kinda China - Martin copy is that? :P

[@dcallan1]

You're human?! lol. Good playing and tune!

[@barianpixandvids]

Killer

[@robinhenderson5202]

John, have you talked Ed into selling you the 5208P yet?🤭😇❤🥳

[@user-lg4nq7wc9d]

Country bumpkin song nice country try john the hillbilly

[@user-lg4nq7wc9d]

He seems like he's on happy drugs constant and films people in homes

[@sijoy6572]

The Cliche hat when playing an acoustic guitar 🥱
