The theoretical concept isn’t the part that is hard, it’s coming up with such a good fucking song that is hard. The melodies are beautiful, the rhythm is tight and right in the pocket, the lyrics are written in a way that illustrates a scene perfectly, and when done live you get treated to the best singing faces of all time.
Some minds just different you know. You can teach a person to write a song but it would never be as good as someone who is so in-touch with the music they’re playing. It’s like the force from Star Wars, give yourself to the music, hold nothing back. Some people just don’t have that. Best example is probably hendrix in terms of someone that is so incredibly in-touch with the music. If you played hendrix to someone that had never heard or seen hendrix then asked them to draw the embodiment of that music, they would draw hendrix.
That's the difference between "celebrities" and actual artists. This guy loves playing, and he genuinely would love nothing more than to help YOU learn how to play.
Mayer is such a legendary musician that loves music and wants to spread the love of music. He's the most down to earth famous person I've ever seen. He truly cares about mucic more than money and fame. That makes him the best musician of the century in my book. I'm not even into his style of music but i still learn because what he is saying and teaching makes music of all genres make more sense.
@@Bobbleheads56 rock music? Lol I guess you need to study much or understand before commenting.. it's blues mate! Im not surprised why people think it's girly shit because maybe of the lyrics.. he has played with Eric Clapton and BB King ... Only thing is he makes it sound so easy but it's quite hard to cover his songs.. not your average green day!
Know exactly how this feels this was me ab a year ago but now I know exactly what’s happening here so never give up it all starts with learning the notes and the chords and that they’re all connected
Well you have to pass the threshold of putting in a pretty minimal amount of effort to start learning music theory, and once you do that it will make sense.
I was trying to find out why double stops are called double stops. What exactly does the stop part mean? First, it can also be a triple stop or even quadruple. It comes from the violin. As I understand it, it’s simply playing any note that’s not an open string. Double stops can have an open string though, despite what the term “stop” implies. It’s usually called fingering, but I think they mean the same thing. If anyone knows more, please feel free to comment.
Really not sure of the origin, but I do know like you said, it's a term from stringed instruments like the cello. You can maybe think of the stop like "stopping on a point on the string, and a double stop is stopping on a point on two strings simultaneously. Other words to describe playing two notes together, but not three are just naming the interval "a sixth, a third", could be a "diad" which is two notes of a triad, but not all three...
@@PowMusic I think your right about the stopping point thing, considering how all notes are a matter of the length of the string. Fingering a note is certainly a stopping a point.
I love when I see and realize other guitarists who view the neck the same way I do; "A and E are next door." If you didn't really learn with a record player and vinyl albums and use your ear to really pick things out - then it's probably hard to understand.
It is and I know barely any theory lol everyone who's chirping doesn't realize this isn't for people who are beginners. Go watch Marty music if that's what you want 🤣.
John. Wow man which amp do you have in the back that is on fire and are you alright? That was a tone for days without having to even get out of bed! Bless you in everything you do!!!!!
I wouldn't do that. The fretLIVE animations are made by us to make things great players teach more understandable to guitar learners. We add that to the original video. We aren't just reposting it. The animations take many hours of work to create and have been viewed/appreciated by millions of people. I've even had some of the original artists thank us or even share our videos of their clips with our added fretLIVE animations.
When you’re watching a short and there’s all that shit on the screen, is there a way to just view the video and not all the stuff overlaying it? Drives me nuts, especially with guitar shorts
Yeah but why is he naming the song " slow dancing etc etc" he has not earned that honor to be verbalizing a song by name,( like everyone instantly recognizes him and the song.( he's not one of the Beatles.) He's not Paul McCartney saying'" Okay this is the key to blackbird." His music is not going to go on generation after generation ( ware he has to name his song like it's so iconic) This guy unfortunately will fade out.The songs are not going to be remembered unless there is a name in front of it. Meaning someone will say his name and then speak slow dancing ,etc etc.. whereas with a Beatles you don't have to say the Beatles and then speak a song people will identify the song just by saying Sergeant pepper or just by saying Blackbird do you know Blackbird do you know Sergeant pepper do you know Helter skelter do you know ....so on.You don't have to say" do you know The Beatles ,and the song Sargent pepper....Get it ... There's a big difference! this guy's a legend in his own mind. Also what would this guy do without without guitar pedals ,without guitar pedals he wouldn't be famous right now. Same with Pink Floyd. Although there is sound effects in the music David Gilmore didn't have to have sound effects to become a famous guitar player. Also you don't have to speak his name to say "do you know do you know another brick in the Wall." I promise you in 30 years from now if you say do you know Slow dancing in Etc... without saying this guy's name first no one will be able to identify it only if your still a fan. Probably in 30 years no one will even remember the name with the song. How come generation after generation people know the Beatles Pink Floyd etc. This guy is milking the same guitar melody like it's a classic, like he's Mozart.
What kind of crack are you smoking? He's literally been around for more than 20 years. He's considered one of the greatest blues guitar players of all time. He's played with the greats. Everyone in the mainstream and musician world knows who he is, and he has a list of radio hits that are still being played today...after 20 years. He had a signature guitar with Fender and now has one with PRS which he is playing in the video. Guitar players all around the world are playing his guitar and his songs. And this guitar is literally PRS's most popular guitar. Having his name attached to the guitar gave it legitimacy because of his skill as a musician. But, your opinion is way off base, so I don't know if you are just trolling or are really old and haven't listened to music passed 1975. You don't have to remember the names of his songs to understand the impact he's already had on the music world. No one is The Beatles or Pink Floyd. That's an impossible standard. You can insert anyone's name into your rant and have it be true. But, most of those names don't have their name etched into a guitar, or have people learning to play like him. I'm not even a fan of his music,

@@lettucekisses you think they seriously would draw a picture of jimi ? thats trippy to think about
@@weezysmokes2257I like to think one can embody music like this
It’s actually incredibly easy if you know how to get play a I IV V Vi
@@erpaderpa4469 whats I IV V VI?
Mr Mayer is definitely a chilled dude, he’s handing out his knowledge for free, like your best mate teaching you a lick 🙏🤛
That's the difference between "celebrities" and actual artists. This guy loves playing, and he genuinely would love nothing more than to help YOU learn how to play.
Makes a lot of sense, thanks John you have inspired me to try another instrument.
I freaking love how he’s taking the time now to explain music and things in terms of theory. This is awesome, everyone should be very appreciative.
The chord progressions in this song always gives me goosebumps. Love John Mayer.
Johnny's here but his eyes are far away in another time. 🍀🎸🍀
Such a beautiful sound, and pretty easy to follow concept! Thanks to a true legend! 👍 🙏🙂
One of the best lessons I've ever seen (I'm talking about the diagram). Fantastic work!
John your music has helped me through so much. Keep it coming
Goodness this format is amazing! Please keep uploading more!

thank you John that you do these for us is very much appreciated.. this one I enjoyed especially..thx
I am going back to guitar! Simply awesome! Thanks mr. JM ❤️
This is a very nicely done tab video.
I wish they all could be like this.
Excellent
I'm lucky enough to have watched him play live. This song is so much better live than the studio recording (which is already amazing)
I just love his playing. Wow! And I love that he shows us how to do it
Yep, cleared it right up, definitely understood all that.
I've tried and this is so damn helpful!! Thank you 😭
Thank you so much!
oh thanks so much for putting tabs over it and mirroring the video correctly 😁
How much talent is someone allowed? Genius!
I love this tone.
John is always so helpful
Ahhh you are a gift. Adore you. So brilliant.
This is so beautiful edited ! Thank you 🙏🏽 🔥
Thank you this is amazing work your doing for future musicians and especially guitarists
Beautiful tone…
Im not even a huge fan of his music, but its awesome to see one of the greats showing his fans how to play the songs
U mean you are not a fan of good music just mediocre stuff lol
@@aribloddykool mayer is pretty basic bitch boring rock music. I really only know girls that actually like his music

This guy is the coolest!
please do more of these
So nice!
Love John Mayer, love this song, love the phrasing of the riff, don’t love how flat that low E string is 😮💨
I am so jealous of how good John Mayer is at guitar. Gosh I need help.
Thanks a lot, master ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

dude looks like he’s sitting in one of those cab sim rooms you’d see on some plug-in 😭😭
"SLOW DOWN FANCY, ITS BURNING MY MOOD". Went right over my head... Its okay ill just watch it continously repeat
I love you john mayer.love lisa
This is a awesome lesson
Also known as Say It Ain't So by Weezer, or Luckiest Man by the Wood Brothers. All 3 are great songs
I love this guy
John Mayer learned to play guitar under Tomo Fujita at Berkeley, now he's teaching you
(You Can Do It)
I love when I see and realize other guitarists who view the neck the same way I do; "A and E are next door." If you didn't really learn with a record player and vinyl albums and use your ear to really pick things out - then it's probably hard to understand.
Shoutout to the tabs down below, that looks neat!
Sooo Good!!
Great one Mayer rules
Lovely sound
Makes want to mess round with my guitar
Спасибо!)
more of this
❤
Wow why is he even spending his time teaching this?! Great stuff, awesome share
What a fucking bad ass!
Legit Micheal Jordan of guitar
Every time John tries to give me a tutorial I think he forgets how talented he is 😂
Exactly! Like….I’m decent at guitar and this means nothing to me. He’s just so great. Seen him live 4 times.
I love how my bro here knows his music theory 💪
Man I miss John being on IG all the time and posting amazing stuff.
this is actually very helpful to me lol
He is using the Caged system for stretched chords
I like this músic
Is that a PRS guitar?
What software is that?
I thought it was too annoy music store employees with the new "Stairway"
Why is the fretboard upside down and backwards, it's literally the most confusing way that you could possibly show it.
Must be some chorus effect on there or a reverb pedal
Beast
Nice
The best guitar players are quite smart.
where did you get this video?
Aha....Explains why I found it down in position 1.
Oh right of course.
Anyone know what the fretboard visualiser software is?
What amp to get the guitar sounding like that?
He did some of Vultures too
This is why I stick to drums
All I got out of it is something like the chords are stretchy.
Not sure this is “theory” really… but who am I to correct a guitar/music god!? Beautiful song regardless.
Sure it is. He gave you the key, the scale, the chord names/numbers, and told you which inversions he is using...
It is and I know barely any theory lol everyone who's chirping doesn't realize this isn't for people who are beginners. Go watch Marty music if that's what you want 🤣.
Anything you are sure about? Dont sit there and judge John Mayer's lesson bruh. You wack as shit
Is that just reverb or is he also running a super short delay?
John. Wow man which amp do you have in the back that is on fire and are you alright? That was a tone for days without having to even get out of bed! Bless you in everything you do!!!!!
I had a hard time trying the left hand version.. Maybe this will be less difficult
Clutch
a voir plus tard
If you say so John 😅
I was trying to play along to your diagram but it seems it needs to be flipped around left to right for right handed people
Eyes & brain: easy
Hands: nope.😑
Nice that, I’ll get one of your records. Which is best? Asking the comments
Continuum
I need some help
At no point did any of what you said make any sense. I award you zero points and May God have mercy on your soul.
don’t try and claim johns video lmao

Literally just watch a video of him saying “I don’t know any theory” amazing guitarist but it doesn’t add up😂😂
Famous musician sitting there showing people his songs teaching them his songs licks and techniques. If this guy isn't cool nobody is.....
The vids backwards
actually, I corrected it because it was originally backwards :D
bruh why tf is your neck diagram inverted
When you’re watching a short and there’s all that shit on the screen, is there a way to just view the video and not all the stuff overlaying it? Drives me nuts, especially with guitar shorts

Try to write the same one, with the same purpose but with mort love feeling than hate feeling. It would be a good exercice for you. ♥️
Remembering song names don’t matter.. you’ll still know who’s playing 5 notes into it, in 30 years or not
because its the name of the song..? what do you want him to call it? Twinkle Twinkle?
Omg more pentatonic John...
