  • John Mayer talks about his latest collaboration with Fender-the new John Mayer Special Edition BLACK1 Stratocaster guitar. Mayer himself is seen here onstage playing the guitar, which is based on his favorite instrument, nicknamed "BLACK1." The new model "has the absolute heart and soul of the BLACK1," Mayer says here. And when you watch this clip, you'll feel just like he does when he says, "I wanna plug this thing in."

    @tjcoffey 10 лет назад +31

    Don't you think this is purely a subjective argument? Page is my favorite gutiarist of all time, but I also know damn well that Vai and Satch are "better" players. Mayer's a damn fine guitarist, and he's also humble enough to admit he's still searching for his own voice on the instrument. And in my view, Mayer's a better songwriter than SRV ever was. But that's my subjective opinion. Maybe you feel differently.

    • @efrainmeza9872
      @efrainmeza9872 6 лет назад

      Vai and Satriani , they are more prepared and studied they have a title and they are very great composers, it is not only the technique it is the creativity the feeling with which they play and the phrasing of the notes, just melodic and very good to play, Page is good but you can not compare them , Page is a legend but now they are too and far more than many will be and they are, if you only look at the technique and that kind of things you have to look more closely, musical reading and compossing is very important, if you go have a profession you have to do well prepare and study, since that will open the doors, you can not opniar of successful people graduated music conservatories, you can not give a bad opinion or make less to successful and studied people in music conservatories who know what they do if you are not even higher or at least at their level, it is very bad manners.

  • @Nightwizard17

    @AlexanderHasford yeah, i kindda knew that story, thing is, those strats are painted in thin nitro and the one we see on the vid is polyurethane, same thing they make the buttons from your shirt. so, is reaaaally harder to relic in any way (use or "lab relic" hahaha)

  • @RLeem7b5
    @RLeem7b5 13 лет назад

    @RKRClassic It's probably specked more or less just like his main guitar just without all the wear and tear. Maybe some different pickups, neck carve, etc. A small thing you can notice right away is that the string tree is set a little farther back on the headstock (not to say that makes a profound difference)

  • @jadkins00
    @jadkins00 11 лет назад +3

    I agree with you. I've always understood why BB King was regarded as a pioneer, but I've never understood why people placed him in stratosphere ability and execution categories. If you watch the guy play, he's super solid, but he's also quite simple. That doesn't discredit his pioneering of blues sensibilities, but it does keep me from putting him in the same category as SRV, Halen, or even Mayer in terms of sheer prowess.
    To 1954 Tele: Like him or not, Mayer is objectively a great player.

    My understanding from guitar forums was that Mexican strats did get respect for being affordable (well, back before Fender raised all their prices some years ago). I can tell you that my 1997 mexi made strat is fantastic. Of course you need to replace the steel saddles with graphite and the hardware does corrode after several years in a cold room, but I've replaced all the hardware on mine anyway.
    All the mexis you played were made in the last couple years? Maybe they are worse now?

      @707king 7 лет назад

      Alex Haggar they came with Big Dipper pickups. They are different from the vintage noiseless. They have a big mid scoop, which is a big part of the sound of the pickups. People sell the pickups sometimes for around $250-$400 for all 3 I think.

  • @jlim200
    @jlim200 12 лет назад +2

    just my 2 cents, i think the relic process or removing the paint does affect tone somewhat, because without paint the body can resonate hence affecting how the strings resonate. not better or worse, just depends on what you're looking for. I always thought john's tone comes more from his amps and pedals vs his guitar. never the less, that guitar is sexy as hell

I watched a few of these clips, this guy really takes himself seriously, like he is a real blues player. SRV wouldn't spit on him if he were on fire, to mention the two in the same sentence is guitar blasphemy

  • @bpastorb
    @bpastorb 10 лет назад

    It worked out okay for him cause he's amazingly talented. It still doesn't change my disagreement with his reference. If any sort of guitar could be related to a 'blank canvas', it would be a standard american strat. Not a signature version strat, thats more like a painting in the style of another artist.

I did see a really nice mexican telecaster recently and that sounds amazing lol. Might also have to do with the way they're made like body finish and stuff like that. it'd be cool if they actually made only a few models a year and stopped mass production, then they might be able to add these features!
