John Mayer & Zane Lowe

[@akingscraft]

What he’s said before is, just write. Don’t make loops but flesh out songs in the moment and get it all recorded instead of trying to make endless loops and staying stuck.

The John Mayer creative process: Step 1: Master the John Mayer creative process that you know nothing about Step 2: Repeat

[@MrMitop]

This short is shit, he explain it in the interview : - he try to sing something over everthing he improvise, instead of just improvising something with just the guitar

[@AslanW]

He needs to make this a song immediately. God damn.

[@lukemarcello1229]

That "get yourself right get yourself right now" it's so dope

[@mattsharpe2861]

Unbelievable. That little improvised ‘song’ he just wrote would have taken me 11 years 😆😆😆

[@tetopolo]

Or some stupid bravery ;)

[@jaycielle]

​​@@tetopoloxactly! It wouldn't take you 11 years to write this if you get into that non-judgemental flow state where you just let things come out, good or not, then you hone in on it It might take 11 years to get that going on, but then you'll be able to crank out first-draft songs like nobody's business - way more than 1 song in over a decade for sure! You can do it, it just takes practice, time, and stupid bravery

[@Cleme21]

I love that song.

[@bscotthelm]

There is no process for real artists, it’s all about what you’re feeling at the moment.

[@Jeremy-hx7zj]

No. Every artist is different. Some do have a process.

[@nicopillay4059]

He showed you instead of telling you. You have to have a strong musicality and let it flow without thinking too much. You get yourself in the zone so quick.

[@TLK3]

Need him to release this song

[@TheVictorianesseth]

Fucking goosebumps at the corner of the wall

[@TheTailors1]

The words "improvise" and "freestyle" seem to have a very loose definition these days

[@mikesmeltzer6921]

lol meaning what? You’re saying that’s already a song? Or you just proving that you’re jealous? Bet I know the answer.

[@Tempi_]

@@mikesmeltzer6921 it’s most definitely something he just hadn’t released

[@mikesmeltzer6921]

@@Tempi_ I see you’re the jealous kind as well

[@Tempi_]

@@mikesmeltzer6921 it’s a fact lol, not jealousy. I’d happily admit to want to be John.

[@TheTailors1]

@@mikesmeltzer6921 calm down dude, Jesus, I was even dissing anybody. Just saying that this isn’t just off the top of the dome.

[@robertfeldman2417]

This is edited, he says it’s no good to make loops or chord progressions without singing something that could be a meaningful hook. Then he starts singing

[@cbowman212]

What is a loop exactly?

[@jeffreylebowski2440]

He just pick ups a guitar and makes a song Bieber or Sheeran would be releasing as a singel.

[@niekvanwensen]

That chord progression already was wayyy too complicated for Ed Sheeran or Bieber 😂

[@joepbailey]

Oh shit. Is this a bad way of writing. This is what Ive done for 15 years... No wonder I can't write for shit..

[@munky1806]

This is the way hes saying that its good

[@MoggioRDNZL]

There is no melody. It’s a scam, like last Muse’s albums

[@youztuber5000]

He created a really crappy song here, but it still sounds so pro

[@jacktravis2718]

Watch the actual interview, the poster cut out a hugely important interchange of words between mayer and the host. Garbage youtuber posting garbage content

[@dr.darkroom]

Pretty cringe. Anybody that knows how to play can randomly rhyme over their playing.

[@jallakka7149]

Yeah but context is everything and who wants to listen to him singing about chicks lol. Boring.

[@jacktravis2718]

The ENTIRE context that was snipped out of this video is that Mayer is stating that lyrical intention is what transforms a structure into a song. No fucking idea why the dude that made this video cut out such crucial information. This short is trash.

[@munky1806]

Bro nearly every song is about a breakup or a partner or that sorta thing in one way or another

[@jasontodd1141]

Overrated imo
