John Mayer Trick & Slow Dancing Lesson

[@tomasrivera04]

man, the index finger slide trick blew mi mind, literally i never would have imagined that. Thank u.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Man that index finger move is great. It’s so fast. Great tone

[@alexlawsonmusic]

Thank you so much for explaining this slide

[@Raja_Sahin]

Mate that was sooo well explained! Thank you so much, please feel free to do more tutorial videos like these to Johns other songs!

[@brunomillalaf8553]

This is an amazing video! Hope you make a full tutorial. Willing to pay 💰

[@Brandon-youtube]

The fact that you get tone this good with that gear is nothing short of miraculous

[@maatiqs]

Thanks Brandon, safe to say you’re one of my top fans (and loyal since you’ve been following me since the early vids 🙏🏼😄). And yes I’m fully into getting the exact tone as John Mayer, but then not spending anywhere near as much!

[@lonelupus8090]

Great Lessons man! Keep 'em coming, please and thank you!

[@maatiqs]

Thank you! Stay tuned, more lessons are coming! 😊

[@randomstoragespace]

Thanks mate. Sounds great

[@bso6371gt]

Great touch!

[@canaljefte]

Maan. I had left a comment in your Old Love playing video and I didn't knew it was you coming back to youtube and uploading new videos!! So happy to see this, because your tone is my inspiration. I have a Strat from Squier, it's the same model as your fender, but is a squier. Sometimes I love the sound it makes but sometimes I don't. Anyway, I'm glad you're uploading new videos during this quarantine :)

[@maatiqs]

Hi thanks for the kind words! To ease your mind, I also like the sound of my guitar sometimes but not always. But that’s exactly why I LOVE my guitar, because it’s like a friend, sometimes I agree with it, and sometimes I don’t 😊

[@iampossiblemusic]

this is amazing. so well explained thank you!!

[@maatiqs]

Glad you found it useful! 😊

Slow dancing in a burning room, two rock lesson please.

[@UnderscoreOwens]

What a lesson, great playing, I always found mine wasn’t “accurate” - now it is, thanks for lending us your ear and talent my friend

[@sixStringsforWords]

Unff that smoothness. Thanks for sharing

[@maatiqs]

Thank you for the praise! Really appreciate it 😊

[@CCPlaetean]

[@shanewilson1160]

This is sick!

[@leonardvincent9593]

Ohh my godd!! I found it thank youuuu

[@stanislawcronberg3271]

Really great lesson. Suddenly I cannot not hear the half step slides in his playing:) I'm trying to figure out your two rock version but am really struggling. Would be great if you managed to do a short video on that.

[@maatiqs]

Hi thank you! Yeah once you get it, it makes everything clearer 😊. Great, I’ll try and make my own lesson on the two rock version

[@brunomillalaf8553]

@@maatiqs please 😭

[@44dean44]

Wow thanks for the tips! How do you set your tone knobs on the guitar?

[@maatiqs]

Hiya, my tone is set to 4-5ish for both pickups, it seems like that would take away too many highs but my amp is pretty bright so it sounds good. 😊

[@44dean44]

@@maatiqs Thank you! Just got my first electric guitar recently, so many adjustable settings to choose from.

[@maatiqs]

@@44dean44 wow! Congrats and welcome to the amazing world of electric guitars 😊

[@CowCow5354]

what pickups and amp are you using? The tone is immaculate.

[@maatiqs]

hx Thank you, I mention it in my video at 2:08 😊

[@komag710]

Hey could you please do a full tutorial of this version because every other version has smth wrong in it and i think your version is the perfect one! Or at least link the tutorial of wich you think would fit your version best! Thanks a lot

[@maatiqs]

Hi there thank you for the praise! Yes I’ll try and make my own lesson on the two rock version 😊

Nice lesson. Change your smoke detector battery!!

[@maatiqs]

Hahahahaha thanks will do, I’ve gotten used to it beeping (which isn’t safe tbh)

[@maatiqs]

Changed it yesterday ! Thanks 🤣

@@maatiqs Good work!

[@SlickD1869]

@1:02 How do you do that consistent percussive slap?

[@maatiqs]

Hi there, for that particular slide as I’m slapping my hand I use my index finger to pluck the string I need to play as well. In that case I play the A string

[@maatiqs]

Or sometimes I play nearly all the strings if I’m fretting more than one string. Hope this helps!

[@SlickD1869]

maatiqs Reverb may also help for the percussiveness if I'm correct? I like how you give attention to details/nuances which it's how supposed to be done. Looking forward for more of your tutorial videos (pls do some eric gales). Firm handshakes Sir! 🤝

[@maatiqs]

Thank you! Yeah reverb definitely helps, as it accentuates the slap. Also I’m glad you like my videos, because I see a lot of guitar players focus mostly on the tabs and exact notes to play. That leads them away from making their guitar sound nice and humanly! (I used to be like that initially as well 😄) We just have to remember that these songs/solos etc weren’t written on paper with tablature, they were played by the artist feeling their way through the song. So that feel shouldn’t be lost 😊 I got super philosophical there LOL Firm handshake to you too !! 🤝
