Is it just me or do most of JMs songs sound a lot better when he doesn't overproduce them in the studio? You can totally tell that this is the way he writes the songs, just him staring out the window playing guitar. He should totally release an acoustic album!
only thing i would say, and this is super knitnpicking because his absolutle worse is not even in the same ballpark as my mediocre lol BUT i feel he ever so slightly (just a pube) “affects” his voice to get that rough sound…sometimes he doesn’t do it as bad and it’s perfect when it’s natural voice without the affect.
Just love him. I have seen him plugged in and unplugged shows. From Eddie's Attic to John Mayer Trio....He is just the best. Mixing up the versions of his songs he cuts in the studio and just blows them out of the water live.
The fact that most his songs are so challenging to play and sing along with shows his skill level, and yeah, his professionalism as well...For example songs like Neon, I believe he just wrote in order to push himself to his best. He just commits to being able to play songs like that on stage, and that's why he's one of my favorites...He commits to what he does consistently and spices it up wherever possible. John Mayer has to practice vigorously before each concert, unlike lots of other artists
Beautiful version of this song. I had stopped listening to JM for a few years, just only recently got back into his music with the release of his EP's. Forgotten how talented he is....
Lyrics: I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been Then you come on crashing in Like the realest thing Tried my best to understand All that your love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you With half of my heart I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else Made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself Lonely was the song I sang 'Til the day you came Showing me another way And all that my love can bring Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you With half of my heart With half of my heart Your faith is strong But I can only fall short for so long Down the road later on You will hate that I never gave more to you Than half of my heart But I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you I can't stop loving you With half of my Half of my heart Half of my heart Half of my heart's got a real good imagination Half of my heart's got you Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That half of my heart won't do Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding To a bride with a paper ring And half of my heart is the part of a man Who's never truly loved anything Half of my heart
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you) Oh, with half of my heart I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself Lonely was the song I sang, 'till the day you came Showing me a another way and all that my love can bring Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you) Oh, with half of my heart With half of my heart Your faith is strong But I can only fall short for so long Down the road, later on You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart But I can't stop loving you (I can't stop loving you) I can't stop loving you (I can't stop loving you) I can't stop loving you with half of my Half of my heart Oh, half of my heart Half of my heart's got a real good imagination Half of my heart's got you Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That half of my heart won't do Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding To a bride with a paper ring And half of my heart is the part of a man Who's never truly loved anything Half of my heart Oh, half of my heart Half of my heart Oh, half of my heart Half of my heart Oh, half of my heart
This is like impossible. You can play all you want but playing and singing at the same time is where the title professional comes in; i've come to realize.
Oh I’ve been listening to this version for years and it’s not gonna get old to me. I’m taking this one to the grave with me. Words can’t describe what I feel when I watch/listen to this.
Ive been to his concert 2 weeks ago, and dear person I can ensure you that it was instrumentally awesome. I was a bit sceptic about his voice beforhand, but the vocals are solid again :)
Hace 9 años comenzaba a enamorarme de alguien compartiéndole esta canción, sospechaba que sería genial, mágico, y vaya que fueron 9 años hermosos, 9 años en los que esta rolita me recordaba siempre esa sensación inicial, ese nerviosismo por no saber si le gustaría. La vuelvo a escuchar hoy, ya solo, y decido escribir esto pensando en que si alguna vez, quizá, también recuerdes esta rola y la vuelves a oír, e inclusive puedas leer esto, quisiera que sepas, tal como siempre te dije, que te amaré siempre siempre, que no pienso olvidarte, y que te deseo toda la felicidad del mundo, la que no quepa en tu pecho, lo deseo y desearé de corazón porque te lo mereces todo, recuérdalo siempre. Cuídate mucho mitad de mi corazón.
Pause at 0:03 you can see the pick sticking out from between his fingers. He does what a lot of guitars players do. He chokes up on the pick so only the very edge sticks out. It keeps your hand close to the strings for easy muting not only with your palm but with the fingers your holding the pick in.
To those wondering chords are Bb - F - C - Dm Also, can anyone tell me what kind of mic he's using here? I would definitely like to invest in something like this.
Fave guitar song: with Albert King, BB King, Stevie too, and all the bluesmen I have met in my personal time...Keep working hard John, love this one :)
John Mayer traveled to Japan by himself and his Martin guitar to take some time off. He got his sleeve tattoo done and loads of other personal accomplishments.
i mean as to my opinion he is the best improviser i have ever heard i mean today i heard jimi hendrix's wait until tomorrow and realised that how immense was the improvisation of john
He's amazing. Its a shame nowadays its not about the art but the person attached to it. There's a bunch of popular musicians who can't read or write music or play an instrument but they accept the title "artist" very comfortable. But hey, life is not fair.
Bb and A# are enharmonic tones meaning they actually are the same note. However, @matsou is referring to the keys of Bb and A# which are completely different from each other.

You can tell sometimes when he plays he's actually thinking about other things simultaneously, he's that good.
meh, any musician does that. my mind wanders a lot thinking about things while I'm playing/singing/recording. I think of my childhood mostly.
@@zerosoma33 not as impressive as John who is literally the best guitar player of his generation
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 touché
Oh, so he did went to Japan eh? I thought it doesn't matter if he even goes
lilly collins
Seems like nobody appreciated your comment, but i did hahhaa
Hahahaha!
Who says?
Pretty sure he got stoned too
lilly collins i love this comment hahahahahah hes fucking stoned too

still agree with you after 11 years lol
Yes
yes

ur right he still gotta do the acoustic album, kinda
he has so much music out anyway though
Im on the bed and when he slapped his hands at the beginning, my phone fell on my face at the same time. Kinda stupid but I just wanted to share it.
El oh el
nacho Cela funny image in my mind 😂
what i coincidence i did the same,it was hurt as hell on my forehead
I have to confess that John Mayer has the life I ever wanted for me. Hope one day I can get there
Nicolas Cabral If you believe in yourself and have talent you can go taller then you think
me too. I think people are destined for it and other people aren't. that helps me with my sadness anyway.
Hope you are
@@zerosoma33 your destiny is what you actively make it. Don’t listen to that stuff
He has so much hardships of his own. Don't think it's all fun and happiness up there.
John Mayer covers himself))
Is it sad that I love the acoustic versions better than most of the originals? This is so damn good!
AmericaWest90 I feel that way about only some songs. For example I love the acoustic version of “Something Like Olivia” more than the original
2v_5r you got a great point
The price of being a guitar virtuoso is that sometimes people forget about that voice.
@@TheVirginianRambler0plpl000⁰p⁰⁰
Just love him. I have seen him plugged in and unplugged shows. From Eddie's Attic to John Mayer Trio....He is just the best. Mixing up the versions of his songs he cuts in the studio and just blows them out of the water live.
This is seriously so hard to play and sing like he does... so much soul and feeling, even with good guitar skills... Amazing version
After learning how to play stop this train, neon and shadow days, this seems like a peice of cake. Damn you john, you're just too good! 😄
Damn that's a big accomplishment
Anyone who wants the chords --
- X1333X, 1X321X, X3555X, X5756X then repeat
James Allen Get that pinky embellishments too of course
James Allen theres two more during transitions x5333x and x7555x
just gave the basics so people can follow, you can add all that too.
+James Allen I love you man... hahahah
+James Allen It sounds nice but I thought it was pretty repetitive. This proves it.
How could this simple homemade video be better than any other covers or version on youtube?? Simply, it's John Mayer!!
This is so beautiful, he knows exactly how to communicate with his guitar and his music gets to me every time
John Mayer and Japan - two of my favourite obsessions in one video! 💕
ありがとう
best version of this song for sure
The fact that most his songs are so challenging to play and sing along with shows his skill level, and yeah, his professionalism as well...For example songs like Neon, I believe he just wrote in order to push himself to his best.

Yes, back for the millionth time, this is so soothing. I could sit and play this forever.
This is my all-time favourite version of this song by a country mile
He is a great musician.
His voice and guitar playing is always a joy listen to.
I love this version so much.
One of the best musicians out there. I love this man
I love this version! He's so original and "funky fresh"
Beautiful version of this song. I had stopped listening to JM for a few years, just only recently got back into his music with the release of his EP's. Forgotten how talented he is....
Lyrics:
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come on crashing in
Like the realest thing
Tried my best to understand
All that your love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
Made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang
'Til the day you came
Showing me another way
And all that my love can bring
Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
With half of my
Half of my heart
Half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart
His voice is so pure here! Love
And that's how a guitar should sound... Thanks Jonh!
last of a kind. this is PURE acoustic pop in it's finest form.
This should have two like buttons
I really love this guy, so much love in his music!
this song speaks to my whats heavy on my heart rt now. love john mayer he is effortless when it comes to his display of talents
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
Lonely was the song I sang, 'till the day you came
Showing me a another way and all that my love can bring
Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
Oh, with half of my heart
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
But I can't stop loving you
(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you
(I can't stop loving you)
I can't stop loving you with half of my
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart's got a real good imagination
Half of my heart's got you
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding
To a bride with a paper ring
And half of my heart is the part of a man
Who's never truly loved anything
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
Half of my heart
Oh, half of my heart
John Mayer and Jacko Hooper are all i can listen to at the moment. Beautiful, beautiful sounds! My two favourite J's.
This is like impossible. You can play all you want but playing and singing at the same time is where the title professional comes in; i've come to realize.
I am from Brazil, Me and my wife love your music John. Thank you por too much talented delivered.
2017 and I still love this.
2019 and still going :)
Oh I’ve been listening to this version for years and it’s not gonna get old to me. I’m taking this one to the grave with me. Words can’t describe what I feel when I watch/listen to this.
Every time I listen to this I get inspired.
once again unlimited creativity by john
Who’s watching this during the Coronavirus??
It's my life's anthem
Half of my heart ❤️ got a grip on this situation.
yes
we need more johns on the world!!!...hes an genius
Ive been to his concert 2 weeks ago, and dear person I can ensure you that it was instrumentally awesome. I was a bit sceptic about his voice beforhand, but the vocals are solid again :)
It's still crazy how far he stretches!
A true hero of mine. Great song writing!!!

john mayer is epic dude. all of his compositions are great. keep it up!
Because he's authentic. A genuine musician. I like it. I like him. Can I come to Tokyo with you next time John? I, too, love this version the best.
This version is still one of my favourites.
that guitar sounds amazing.
2024 and still going!
Love how he takes a pop song to kind of a blues....
just wonderfull
Jonathan Baker got it right. It's a Sound Devices 722. The microphone is a Schoeps X/Y Stereo Microphone CMXY 4V.
Love when people answer questions before I have to ask :)
Thanks man!! I clicked just cuz of the equipment!
I love how he clapped to get the video in sync
OMG...this song has come a long way fro the acoustic Hotel Cafe days. Awesome vid and son. THANK YOU JM. : )
his voice is awesome and his jacket too
lyrically this is his best song imho, meaningful, revealing, honest
This is the best version of this song
I don't care if its challenging or simple.. This sounds great.. I play guitar and sing also myself and John is just so clean... Very talented guy
Beautiful ❤
love it! Dig his EC/Fujiwara Martin 000 too! always thought any stripped down version of a song leaves no room for errors....genius that's for sure.

Also, can anyone tell me what kind of mic he's using here? I would definitely like to invest in something like this.
dunno the mic but the recorder is a sound devices
This is simply incredible!
this reminds me of a song and it sound a bit like missing you.. ❤️
Great easter egg in the Deluxe version of Battle Studies album
Fave guitar song: with Albert King, BB King, Stevie too, and all the bluesmen I have met in my personal time...Keep working hard John, love this one :)
this is soo much better than the album version. Acoustic ftw
You give him a guitar, he gives me eargasms and other gasms.It's that simple.
Thank you for introducing my page！
JM is only happy when it rains….love the chase …like the journey only….girls stay away from this serial heart breaker😀
John Mayer traveled to Japan by himself and his Martin guitar to take some time off. He got his sleeve tattoo done and loads of other personal accomplishments.
I like that version too!
i mean as to my opinion he is the best improviser i have ever heard
i mean today i heard jimi hendrix's wait until tomorrow
and realised that how immense was the improvisation of john
I love that 13 Witness is his pal and shot this. Good stuff.
He's amazing. Its a shame nowadays its not about the art but the person attached to it. There's a bunch of popular musicians who can't read or write music or play an instrument but they accept the title "artist" very comfortable. But hey, life is not fair.
This man is so amazing! Ahh!
just adore him
Please john mayer come to taiwan, i will waiting for you until I'm die
@default1337 oh my goodness. that camera is disgustingly awesome. wow. i'm thoroughly impressed.
Oh God,Oh Man,Oh My John..
He's awesum and amazing!Best song ever!
I like how he doesn't play his songs EXACTLY like the original every time. That gets annoying if you hear the same thing every time.
mesmerized!
OMg thats amazing thanks for uploading honey :))) lovelove Mayer ♥ ♥
sounded great!
Simple and beautiful is John Mayer.
This is heaven.
love from Portugal... for me you are the best
So good!
Bb and A# are enharmonic tones meaning they actually are the same note. However, @matsou is referring to the keys of Bb and A# which are completely different from each other.
Awesome John🎸🎸🎸🎸
The heart of the song is really nice
I own a Martin HD 28 but hell that black Martin sounds damn good with its richness and deepness.
man thanx for the video .. its awesome ..
I need to go to Japan !
1:18 good to see an artist helping another artist ...!
i want that jacket that he is wearing
I want that talent, keep the jacket LOL
I wonder which jacket it is I've trued doing research as to what brand it is.
Bobby Gibson any luck yet? Or have you found something similar. Want a bomber jacket just like it
funky fresh indeed john... funky fresh indeed :)
Just wow.
Then the cool bit after the chorus is:
F, C, Dm7, A#
HOW CAN SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS..... seriously
lovely
