got chills....great impromptu use of class as a soulful background choir. gotta love the individuals who try to falsetto after the chorus to get noticed haha
The man is an inspiration. I love him so much. God bless his soul! I've got dreams, dreams to remember! One day I'll be up on stage with John Mayer & we are gunna rock it out!
man how incredible this must have been to be there John Mayer is unbelievable...just unbelievable Props to those singing with him. You all sounded great
John you are unreal sir!! The part where the crowd started singing along made me feel some type of way; that's what great music is all about it's like time stops 🤘🏼
What an awesome moment. I attended Berklee and remember these classrooms. I would have loved if I went to class one day and John was there. What I can’t understand is the 56 people that thumbs downed this? Really? Even if you don’t like his music this is a wonderful moment and must have been special to the kids there. Especially when everyone is singing the “dreams” part near the end. Brings tears to my eyes. I had dreams when I attended there, as these kids do. Great job John.
I'm not really an emotional dude and haven't cried or whatever in...I can't even remember how long but that last minute made me tear up and I have no idea why...its just so powerful.
I went from thinking Mayer was annoying to being a huge fan based on his work with Dead & Co. Incredible talent and somehow a perfect fit there. Who would have thunk it?!
Same lol. I had him down as a sort of bog standard blues guy for some reason (my own assumption). Boy was I wrong he writes some mind blowing hard hitting tracks. Stop this train is my favorite
Really love this video, so good. I always laugh when he asks the crowd to take turns singing what he sings, and they sing EVERY line, haha. They were so pumped
This is the very very first time that I could hear the distinctly different sound of his pick ups. During the solo you can hear it crystal clear. Nobody else is using that tone.
Wow. One thing is being there, listening to John Mayer play and sing like only he can, but when they all start singing with him, when they become part of it that's just magical. I'm sure any musician would've given anything to be there. I would've, and I'm not even a musician, at least yet. WOW.
hot damn... it got pretty magical there towards the end... john mayer is fantastic. like honestly, coming up with a composition like that out of nowhere.. the wa his musical mind works is PHENOMENAL!
Very refreshing to not see a bunch of phones held up everywhere (obviously, other than the one recorded on, which could be a camera and the odd one or two around). It's all about experiencing the moment and not recording it on a device, otherwise you never truly experience it. This is how it should be.
@@talonpilot Yh, on second look they're using anything BUT phones to record. One girl even has her laptop facing John to record hahaha. I stand corrected
The chord progression he plays over "I've got dreams" is pretty close to: G - Am - and now your 3 chords - Bm (maybe Bm7) - C - D7(4) D7(4) = (10, x, 10, 11, 8, x) (from the top string). A really cool sounding chord with the clashing 3rd and 4th in the top. Works pretty well all over the fretboard. Use your thumb for the top string with all the chords in the progression - it really is a very usable way to do chords which I use for most chords. Hope it works for you :-)
comke on now, John Mayer is an awesome singer and an even more awesome guitar player. hes very respectable..he really deserves where he is at right now
Were you really my student? We need to start over again....

@@tjay2384 he was, he's talked about it a couple times in vids

Imagine being sick when John Mayer comes to your school…
I'd kill
Here we see about 50 people and one Mexican strat watching John do his thing.
😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀
Did not catch the joke hehe could someone break it down for me?
@@oscardiaz3636 he’s referring to the guitar’s headstock in frame, which appears to be a mexican stratocaster :)
@@gabrielhiggins9991 never heard of anything like a “mexican strat” nice!! Thanks!
@@oscardiaz3636 from the angle of the video the guitar looks as though it is watching John perform as the audience is.lol.
What a beautiful site.
A room filled with people following their dreams, being lead by a man that represents all those dreams.
Wow!
altclyti you described it perfectly.
altclyti such a well written comment
so naïve... you know he got the phone numbers of half that class and let them all know what hotel room he was in lol
What a beautiful site.... RUclips.

It's been a few years, any luck?
how are you doing after 12 years?
How’s it goin man
Keeping it up
How you doin buddy
It's soooo rare to have an audience harmonize nicely with you! What a blessing! I wouldn't expect anything less from students at Berklee.
damn that entire class can sing
Well you know what Berklee is , right ?
well no shit. if you're gonna study music you better know how to sing.
@@John-bw2vr why? I study music and can't sing well...

@@oliverspackman6766 Don't have to have a good voice, but you should be able to sing in key if you've been playing music for a while.
John just took us to church
Do you have a minute to talk about John and his guitar licks? I mean verses…
Oh lawd
to get a roomful of ppl all hyped up is one thing, but to make them all hold their breath is whole another level of awesomeness...
Gravity is an absolutely magical song. Recently got the lyrics tattooed on me. It will literally never die.
You literally don't know what "literally" means.
@@estebanb7166 okay just shoot me down, I know my mistake, I was in a good mood, back off, literally. 😂

this version is AMAZING! another hidden gem on youtube
I fucking love John Mayer!... I don't like to swear but that is the only way I can express how much I like him.
Leon Lush effective
Hell yeah me too
Who knew Leon lush was a John Mayer fan
That’s sad. You can express way more without using curse words than by using them.
Didnt expect to see you here
The moment they all started singing, goosebumps went all over me.
Shit. The power of music right here
The ending part, i dont know.. Kind of gave me a goosebumps.
Michael Angelo Rayco ditto
I’m not gonna lie my eyes got teary there’s just something about people coming together and singing that’s so special
the part where everyone is singing while John and Tomo are playing... gives me chills every time
.
10 years later and the end still gives me chills.
I would've given every dollar to my name to experience this.
4:53 Girl, your voice is heavenly!
Agreed. Wish she there was more.

Anybody know her name?
@@tsega60 yeah
@@user-ce6ry8eh2r Well who is she?
2023... Still a RUclips classic
Shit, I was trying so hard not to wanna be like him, but I really wanna be like him!

I cant believe this guy is real...
wow....that part where everybody comes in and sings....wow. Talk about the power of music. This touched me in awesome ways...
me too bruh... touched me deeper than my Uncle Tony
@@ericpatton3276 We must have the same uncle.
this is SOUL music. you cant help but feel alive when listening to this

I've got dreams, dreams to remember! One day I'll be up on stage with John Mayer & we are gunna rock it out!
man how incredible this must have been to be there
John Mayer is unbelievable...just unbelievable
Props to those singing with him. You all sounded great
this is so GOD DAMN good. wow. first youtube video to ever TOUCH me. i love it. literally, love.
John you are unreal sir!! The part where the crowd started singing along made me feel some type of way; that's what great music is all about it's like time stops 🤘🏼
I got dreams! Dreams to remember!
~ the harmony of that line has been on my mind for so long.
this brought me to tears, once the choir came in I was in complete awe
Insane that's gotta be the best, most in tune crowd Johns ever had singing his songs!
Sends chills down my spine with the all vocals. Gravity is my all time favorite Mayer song.
John mayer plays with so much feeling and soul
the boy is BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
keep on blessing us the that soulful music Bro

currently wiping tears from my eyes, you sir are amazing. I that Voice during the vocals, you know THAT ONE voice? Who ever you are YOU GO GIRL!
I'm not even a John Mayer fan but,
this is one of the best videos on the internet.
No bullshit.
I love watching John mentor, give back and work iwth students. It warms my heart.
in this video, John looks like he could be a homeless guy outside of Berklee singing on Mass ave
Those vocals were simply amazing...
Frick that was beautiful!
I love how he got everyone involved as well. They sounded so good too. Makes me wish I were talented enough to goto Berklee.
I'm not really an emotional dude and haven't cried or whatever in...I can't even remember how long but that last minute made me tear up and I have no idea why...its just so powerful.
wow! this really shows that music does bring people together
this is amazing, with tomo too for sure
Best video on RUclips, it gives me chills every time
well done john, a wonderful atmosphere your gift is creating
the guy in the fron with his flip phone is priceless
His head voice is so perfect in this
Man this brought me goosebumps!! This is what you call real music!
And no AI could ever replace human dynamics when it comes to creating real, soulful music
Wow! Goosebumps all over, sounds like heaven
His vibrato technique is incredible.
Brasil também curte John Mayer e aprecia boas músicas 🎶
this was beautiful. just simply beautiful.
My God! That is phenominal! There was a real sence of unity in that room. Mutual respect John seemed to respect the students as peers.
lol you know you're in Berklee when the audience KNOWS how to sing. Mayer should have something like this in all his concerts
this must have been so magical for the students.
he made me cry. i love that guy
the harmonizing at the end got my palms sweating and the hair standing up on the back of my neck...amazing.
they all sing so well...
Music is beautiful.
water is wet.
August Muller V you're trash
Water is not really wet.
I still do not get tired of watching this video 😍
SO amazing! Thank you for uploading this! I just got accepted to Berklee for the fall 2010 semester and I'm so excited that I can barely stand it! :)!
How was your experience there?
holy fuck that bit with getting a room full of berklee students to sing was so fucking good
I went from thinking Mayer was annoying to being a huge fan based on his work with Dead & Co. Incredible talent and somehow a perfect fit there. Who would have thunk it?!
He is kind of annoying. But really talented, inspires me a lot even to this day.
@@raulsouza5866 I never get why people find him annoying, have you seen his latest ig live stuff or just anything from him from the past 5 years
Mostly misconceptions.
Same lol. I had him down as a sort of bog standard blues guy for some reason (my own assumption). Boy was I wrong he writes some mind blowing hard hitting tracks. Stop this train is my favorite
Really love this video, so good.
I always laugh when he asks the crowd to take turns singing what he sings, and they sing EVERY line, haha. They were so pumped
true about the goosebumps.. thats the thing about music when u love it: the emotions it brings and how it makes you feel!
what a moment.....
The drummer was outstanding!
You know sometimes I think I'm not much of a people person but dammit as soon as everybody started singing together... tears Just came to my eyes...
agreed, he is amazing, and an amazing songwriter, one of the best. I wish I could have been there.
the last part is simply amazing...beautiful voices some of those girls have
the whole group getting into it at 4:00 is so awesome.
I am so jealous
Thanks John for helping me find my voice and not letting the noise drown it out.
Mayer singing that day was on fucking point bro
Magical.
This is the very very first time that I could hear the distinctly different sound of his pick ups. During the solo you can hear it crystal clear. Nobody else is using that tone.
..... Goosebumps.. So many talented singers.. :(
The choral harmonies, felt like CHURCH OF MAYER, felt it in my soul. x)
I was wondering why the people weren’t recording 😂then I realized this was 2008
5:49
2:52 oh myyy! that was amazingg just sound like pianoooo!
You are one amazing guitarist! Watched your other videos. Enjoy your playing very much!
I've got dreams, dreams, to remember!!
YEAH!! Can't help singing that over it now ! love it, Tomo is legendary too!
must have been an unforgettable experience.... I'm just jealous of all those people right now lol
Has John ever done that "I've got dreams" thing in a concert to an actual paying audience?
At the Where The Light Is show live in LA he played this as an intro to gravity.
he did this several times in his tour last year
Both of these responses are correct
Well sure but I've never seen harmonizing as good as this in one of his audiences... XD
Yeah check out live at Pinkpop, it’s one of the craziest shows
Thank you John and Berklee for making me smile, i am i mid revision! "I have got dreams to remember" x
This is one of the coolest things you could've posted . . . ever. Thank you so much!
Does anyone else ever daydream about singing and playing this well in front of your old class? Or am I the only psycho?
Wondering how many people then or now know the “I’ve got dreams to remember” part is an Otis Redding song.🤔
Preach. Otis GOAT
