Who Did You Think I Was Guitar Lesson - How To Play Who Did You Think I Was by John Mayer

[@themandohunter3969]

Quick little thing when you have to go from the 8th to the 5th with the little bends John actually plays fifth on the D not the A and it’s subtle you can actually feel and hear the difference 🎉

Your pace and explanations are really great. Totally refreshing in terms of what's across the internet. Thank you!

[@yga]

Glad you like them!

[@CousinOlivier]

Thank you very much for all your explanations. This really helps me. Just a little mistake @10:30: Actually, the correct placement of the right hand rhythm is the 3rd sixteenth note of beat 3, so down, and the 2nd sixteenth note of beat 4, so up. Then, back down on the 1st sixteenth note of beat 1 of the next measure.

Great lesson! All I need now is a visit from the sit down and practice fairy

[@yga]

Haha! I hope she does indeed pay you a visit!

[@michaelgreen4935]

Hey Dan, I finally got it!!!! Persistence is one awesome dude. Thank you! I hope you do some more Mayer stuff from the Continuum and Born and Raised albums. Your dedication to being the best is really impressive. Again I thank you!

[@JimiGLee]

Never really comment on KZbin videos but this is an awesome tutorial, thanks a lot mate. Really appreciate the video.

[@yga]

Wow, thanks James! Very proud to have encouraged you to comment! I think it does help that I love this song, and it’s just sooo good! 😂🤘🤘

[@Gauravmsr20]

I don't have words to express my gratitude, this John Mayer series, can't thank you enough. Your playing is awesome. I will recommend this to every individual who would ever like to learn this. You are awesome.

[@andreasschwab99]

Thanks Dan. Best lesson of this riff on KZbin by far. You have the best intermediate lessons dude!!! ❤😊

[@marcotonetti]

Best lesson on the internet for this song!

[@flynnjjnt7850]

Great lesson I thought my skills wouldn’t be able to play this song but I followed the steps easily and I got it down.

[@2speedy4u22]

Dan is an amazing teacher. Thanks!

[@douglaschristine8387]

I call the crunch, crunch, chika and chika ,lol. Thanks for a fantastic lesson.Peace, your so good.

[@tomsandowtz]

You got the main riff actually wrong. You're playing the D note on the A string for the riff where John actually plays the G note on the D string. So the intro ends with the C-G-C and then the C-D ending. Then through the verses the riff always is just with that C-G-C ending. The D note on A is only played for the riffs second ending in the intro before the vocals kick in

[@syedwamiq3103]

amazing lesson, cheers man surprised with such a low turn out

[@yga]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and good luck getting it together!

[@71ibanez]

Great lesson and playing as always!

[@yga]

Thanks dude! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@levbilokonskyi41]

Cool and very clear lesson 🔥🤟

[@georgeodonnell7459]

Great lesson as always. I can't believe your content is free. I've come on leaps and bounds thanks to you. Great stuff. What settings did you use to get this tone? Is it a TS? Or just a tube amp being pushed?

[@yga]

Thank you! I think we were just using the Kemper for this one :)

[@ChocolatMudBaby]

Nice! I learned it by palm muting. So difficult to unlearn. Thanks!

[@Ahmedeooo]

You need to do a tutorial of that Jimi Hendrix outro too

[@douglaschristine8387]

Love your lessons my friend. Been with you off and on since I started playing three years ago and now doing John Mayer songs and John Frusciante and the list goes on. Do you like Kings X? Well let's get busy. Thanks for all your excellent and extensive experience. Peace out.

[@yga]

Thank you! We're happy to have been part of your practice! Can't say We've listened to much of them, would you recommend them? 🎸

[@douglaschristine8387]

@@yga listen to" It's Love" by King's X to start. They've been around since the 80's. A couple more, Lost in Germany, Black the sky and Dogman. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

[@BOAChannel]

Its not C-D-C , Its C-G-C string skip from 6th to 4th.

[@CertifiedZXNE]

I was in your livestream watching you guys learn this!

[@yga]

Yes I remember! Finally got it all together 😀

[@CertifiedZXNE]

Your Guitar Academy Awsome

[@2speedy4u22]

Awesome lesson. Great detail and pacing. Thanks!

[@yga]

Thanks!! So happy to be able to help 😀🎸

[@station2station544]

The opening A you play with your thumb is not a staccato 16th note. It's held and rings out as the slide is happening. Don't let go. Great lesson on all the other subtleties and strumming though!

[@MrSongwriter2]

It’s a good lesson but lacks the feeling of the original it’s a bit too “quantised” once you’ve learned the notes you then need to watch Jm trio for the vibe and feel

[@michaelgreen4935]

Man, I'm killing myself trying to get the timing right. I'm using the Metrodome but somewhere I'm missing it, and that's without the ghost notes. HELP!!!!

[@TheJufrasson]

Hey man! tnks for the lesson! What pedals and effects are using in this song?

[@yga]

Hi Juliano! I think that we're using a Kemper in this video for the effects :)

[@fnzago]

Hi friends!! Why he used F#m??? because that song i think is in Am. I supose the "correct" will be F.

[@CousinOlivier]

No! It's in the key of A major. He's playing A7, which is a dominant chord with a M3 and a b7 (tonal tritone). But actually, in exact harmony, it should be in D major or B minor.

[@kraytkopacki4034]

Man that muting is imposible

[@yga]

Not impossible, just hard at the moment! Keep it up every day - it will defo be sloppy for a while, but you’ll get there 🎸🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ChaoGardenTastic]

A blues scale actually, not a pentatonic
