John Mayer, 'Waitin' On The Day' (Live)

November 28, 2013 After a long hiatus without speaking or singing publicly to allow his damaged vocal chords to heal, the Grammy award-winning artist is back. Watch him perform "Waitin' On The Day" from his new album, "Paradise Valley."

There has to be other songs sung/recorded for this session. There's no way John Mayer, the man himself, went all the way down to the NPR studios, where someone, probably a team, had set up a whole bunch of cameras, lights, instruments, recording stuff, monitoring stuff, etc etc, just to record one single 4 minute number? Come on NPR, we want the rest, at least reply to a comment and let us know what the story is?

Exactly I can give all I have for them!

Self introspection a little bit much

This song is so good. “Will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise”

[@gtrevino007]

Best freakin Mayer's song. His show last week here in Austin was awesome. He has a unique way to write about normal emotions/stages that a person goes through life.

[@kidjiujitsu]

Great song. John Mayer is the man. Swear he knows what you're thinking.

[@jackbrockley7697]

This song is so relevent to every listener in some way . He paints that picture so well . True musicians create a mindset that you want to revisiit over and over again and music gives you the power to do just that . Simply incredible .... thanks john .

[@kimberlykairo]

Love this tune more every time I hear it.

[@Angel-fz8dr]

Best version

[@telecaster305]

By far 👍🏼👍🏼

[@sjonesxoxo]

was just giving the album a listen and really fell in love with this song in particular. the lyrics are amazing in painting a story and picture of things people can truly relate to their own lives and it gave me a lump in my throat. beautiful.

"Can you love me all the way... When you take my side on every little firefight..."

[@DjuBarreto]

What chords is he playing at 2:06 - 2:22

[@Shootaj]

11 months too late, I'm not very good at weird variations of chords and what they're called exactly, but the three chords are Bm (2-2-4-4-3-2), some variation of A (5-5-7-7-7-5) and some variation of a D (10-10-12-12-12-10)

[@andrewka]

It's a Bm7 (x-2-4-2-3-2), then D (x-5-7-7-7-5) and finally G (x-10-12-12-12-10)

[@guitarbygus]

Going back to the acoustic clarity type of chords / phrasing. At the end “ooooooooooo” bit .

[@tonicogsf]

I Guess it’s probably something like: x24430 (Bm(add4) x57070 (D(add4,add9) x 10 12 0 12 0 (G6 - not sure if he’s letting the high E ring here though, what would make a regular G)

[@johng2880]

Isn't it great that they managed to exclude his left hand from each and every camera angle?

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

2019 Hi NPR! A W E S O M E P R O D U C T I O N please share what "Camera" and "mic" set-up you use. please. please. please. this is awesome. T H A N K Y O U

[@michaelvarneyLLNL]

NPR stinks for many reasons... but especially for not hiring a cameraman to properly capture John playing his guitar. Many people like to see how he is playing his songs.

We are edible to your liking
