John Mayer just does not get enough credit for how funny he is

[@Winteramen]

I think early on in his career he's always expressed he wanted to try comedy. I think there's a video from way back where he tried stand up?

[@76irodriguez]

That’s because he isn’t funny. This video is proof of that.

[@fach4422]

@@Winteramen thus why him and Dave Chappelle like to hang out

[@Ron_Don_Valante]

@@76irodriguez i mean he isn’t stand up funny but he seems cool

[@tiffanylockett5950]

This is the absolute truth! And so effortlessly. Ever since he was young.

Isn't E minor played with the B note on the A string, and why is the high E string muted? we can let it ring, and just play the open E note right?

[@JonSebastianF]

@@Kipchoge475 These are just the specific voicings that JM picks. But, yes, in this case, adding those two notes would not be the reason people left our gig :)

Perfect youtube experience

[@kimberlykairo]

John Mayer has influence. He can sell anything with his humor and cleverness. I love it. I love him

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

John just sold me a Pontiac Grand Prix.

[@Angry20Something]

The 80's man. They went so hard.

[@jhavajoe3792]

That is an original angle at humor. I just realized, it's an all out battle of the wits and humor out here in internet land. Bring 'em on!

[@comicsrcool5483]

Someone needs to give John Mayer his own Variety show....

[@FriendM2010]

Oh… That’s cold brother .. Making us watch ad’s from the 70’s… Johnny has so much power his ad’s cannot be skipped!

[@dieselyeti]

The ad literally said 1989 Pontiac..

[@jamescrumpler8384]

​@@dieselyetiRight? 😅😅

[@Agrclark]

you win this time John Mayer - I've played it 5 times just get the damn chords, touche - also, what are you wearing...

[@dieselyeti]

Funny clip. That dude in the commercial looked like Steven Segal with the slicked-back 80s hair.

[@ImmaFlamingo]

That’s what I thought as well 😂

[@RedBeardReaper]

🤣 at least you still gave us the chords 🤣🤣

[@seintmike7907]

Yes

[@WyattWinters]

he knows all the chords

[@jan279]

I swear, John Mayer coulda been a stand-up comedian if he didn't pursue music. 😂

[@JoshsCarCorner]

Jon Mayer IS Pontiac. He builds excitement, and just like the 89 Grand Prix, he disappoints us.

[@taylordevault]

We are ready for a new album Johnny boy

[@qwertmom]

Dropping this month

[@tiagopeixoto1974]

@@qwertmom and body know when?

I haven't seen that commercial since I was 9....literally. If it isn't the ride of your life, bring it back.

That was fantastic

[@joshmaddux]

This is pure god damn GOLD.

[@blanfortech1640]

John - Thank you for your music/your voice/your humor/your guitar skills listen to your music every day. Let me stop here. and say thank you.

[@hardingkinnaird5021]

Why do I have that feeling of getting rickrolled

[@jessejive117]

Haha “thanks for watching”. He’s got such good comedic timing. I’d love to see him in a cool film like wolf of Wall Street as some LA a musicians side character. Everyone would fall in love with his character lol

[@fuumaley-ar1798]

four right chords can make you cry

[@analogdad9235]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Grand Prix step aside, the fire-breathing TURBOCHARGED Pontiac Sunbird convertible is what was THE epitome of “excitement” by Pontiac in the 90s...hands down. Btw, John Mayer is a world acclaimed guitar player, but his TikTok game is f-ing off the charts so far. #RIPtoPontiac #TransAmsWereForSissies

[@george-st-george]

My Pontiac .....and my 4 chords are still going strong!!!!!!!!-------it's just reality that gets in the way!

[@jefferydavis3332]

Takes me back to being a kid! I miss those days!

[@motodrummer]

I am so looking forward to your solo stuff again. Hope you have your fill of that dead stuff soon and get back to playing what we all miss.

[@_Error_404_Goodbye]

As soon as the commercial started, I knew I was going to finish watching it out of spite.

[@vehemore]

after this john mayer is my favorite guitar player. nay, john mayer is my favorite MUSICIAN

[@caprise-music6722]

This is the best TikTok video I’ve seen. Nice work John. That car commercial, brilliant

[@rachelandryan]

Isn't that D/F#?

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

All us guitarists noticed that immediately. Funny.

[@lucino359]

I know he made me question my fretboard memorizing skills..

[@chenhuan6686]

yep, i think so

[@d-rosejames4553]

Yup. I watched in super slowmo. You’re right 😂

[@noodkhannavin]

Yep

That Grand Prix was my first car I bought. And it was in teal! Yes teal!

G6 and A6 are basically the same chord. I feel cheated, unlike the feeling I got after I bought my first 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix

[@BraveRC]

This is the new Rick Roll... And I love it.

[@castinglighthealing]

I call that "The JT walk up." It's found in "Close Your Eyes", "On The Roof," "Looking For Love on Broadway," Intro in "Shower the People," and John Mayer's "Dreaming With a Broken Heart." ✌️😎

Got it, thanks
