[@Jagermeistery]

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

[@SummitGuitarSchool]

[@jeetkatariya9113]

[@kimberlykairo]

[@tomyates2551]

[@noahjohnson6414]

The king of right hand technique

[@mariomatusmusic]

my favorite album for sure !

[@dommccaffry3802]

That martin is beyond beautiful

[@canyonproductions7683]

This dude has become one of THE best mainstream artists.

[@richadambudgen7520]

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

[@chrispywilliams1992]

I Love this pace and speed!

[@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.

[@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!

[@TheHonudiver]

Jerry Shmerry.

[@BenK.]

Such an awesome Riff!

[@michaeldorcey9305]

Just amazing

[@jasoncook1276]

Cool to see you picking on the couch, love this piece too man!! Shes steppin out again ❤

[@miltonchristen6430]

Sounds good!

[@anthonypolizze4059]

Such a great song and album! I always like when you separate and simplify. This album EIN my mind really shows who you are. Well done as always

[@rejanefontellefontelle7612]

❤Love you, John Mayer ❤

[@StephenOshea]

sounding sweet

[@amomentformusic]

Love it! 👍🎶🎶 Thank you for the music!

[@dwp6061]

One of my Favorite songs & LP! ❤

[@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

[@Christ-is-King-]

The best

[@kweinfurt]

More like these, please!

[@RomeKim]

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!

[@OwenPowell-zx5bs]

Love this

[@celinegarcia4158]

Hope you had a happy birthday. Please release an acoustic album. Thanks.

[@darioscomicschool1111]

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

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

F-ing phenomenal

[@spencerreid9864]

His best album to date, not to say the others aren’t f-ing awesome

[@irenemaychak2187]

Hey John. Happy belated Birthday !

[@Rose_grpa]

💜

[@Groundhog-Jam-Band]

*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*

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

Such a killer song he gave us.

[@reizdub]

QUE COISA MAIS LINDAAAAA

[@dxdelafu]

See you Saturday at the AAC in Dallas!

[@landonbohinc8146]

Jesus loves you all!

[@jenniferg099]

10/10

[@DaCheat100]

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

[@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 :)

[@0-0-s0s]

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]

@@0-0-s0s 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

[@Mun_Marann]

Wishing to get a guitar gift from John🎸

[@mitchellphillips4691]

>shredding

[@jcrit743]

Yoo is John using a word processor?

[@_dnk]

goofy hat great song

[@NadineCarbonneau]

❤❤❤

[@jjcnau]

What guitar is this?

[@saharamarocain7834]

🙏👍🎩💚❤

[@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

[@robinhenderson5202]

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

[@dcallan1]

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

[@ThePnikola007]

what kinda China - Martin copy is that? :P

[@HuhWho-w1k]

Country bumpkin song nice country try john the hillbilly

[@barianpixandvids]

Killer

[@HuhWho-w1k]

[@sijoy6572]

The Cliche hat when playing an acoustic guitar 🥱
