Guitar Habits of John Mayer 

"we don't wanna be copies of john mayer" ...... Yes we do.

1:02 John once said somewhere ‘you develop a style once you fail to sound exactly like the person you are trying sound like’

Habits of Guitar George please. He knows all the chords!

do one for lil wayne

You should make another video about John Mayer, as he’s been working with dead and company his style has diversified immensely and even in his own solo shows his techniques have changed a lot. I would love to see an updated version of some of his habits and tendencies!

People might already said this, but the stop this train slap thing is more of a "slap with thumb, flick/hit another string with first finger" thing, so when he slaps he also hits a string at the same time.

this is by far one of the most usefull series of lessons on the net. keep doing it man.

Love this. Mayer is a favorite, and as a self-taught player for 30 years, I could actually swing the stuff you're talking here to go to a higher level. So glad to have found your channel.

You have no idea how happy I am that you made this video. He's one of my favorite guitarists, thank you Tyler!

You're failing at the "Stop this train" technique. What JM does is, at the same time that he makes the slap, h also touchs the strings

This video is so well structured and explained that even as a non-guitar player, I loved it and easily followed what he was saying! Will be listening out for these habits now, thanks!

I've been playing for forty years and have a BA in music - ur lessons are fantastic as is ur playing . Thank u!

Make sure to check out Guitar Super System (bit.ly/G1SS1u) for a full breakdown of the magical chords known as triads. Also, comment and let me know which guitarist I should break down the habits of next!

Great video man. Really enjoyed it. I love John's playing and I have definitely learned a lot by studying his style.

Great video. The lick where you improvise waiting on the world to change is gold. Keep up the good work !

That strat color is sexy

Tyler, You're like a good, helpful brother I can always find when I feel about lost about learning the unfathomable bits of guitar. Thank you very much.

Thank you my man for putting so much of your time to explain this and give examples. Your riffs are sweet

I feel like I'll watch this video a lot of times, a lot of great stuff in a relatively short video, awesome! Do more please

Every Tomo's students loves triads

Finally!! I was dying for a John Mayer video, Thank you man!

Wow - great job demonstrating those 3 stylistic JM techniques. I was unaware of the prep-rake sound but once you demonstrated it I could spot it immediately. I'm impressed that you can discern those nuaces and then show how us the standard approach and how JM is a cut above in his execution and unique voicing of chords. Thanks for sharing amigo! Cheers.

Every time I watch this video I realize how good you are, but no mater what it is impossible to play exactly like him. No matter how hard you try nobody can exactly copy someone's style. Everyone's articulation and feel is different, and that's what I find beautiful with music! Love your videos keep it up! Much love

Thank you so muuuch! I will add it to my playing, i always love your dynamics and funny lessons, keep it up

dude your one phenomenal guitar player, your entertaining and all the tools you've given us has helped me in a lot of ways, and it would be so killer to see you teach us the habits of Synyster Gates

I thought this would be a video about cocaine and Victoria's Secret models. I am disappoint.

Man this vid is rad. You did a great job breaking those habits down. Thanks for sharing. Keep'em comin' will ya.

Thanks for explaining a bit about the "Hendrix style" of wrapping your thumb around to the top strings to replace the barre chord shape. I always thought it was just a trick to mute the top strings so you don't accidentally strum them when you don't want to. I've even have had other guitarists claim it was a sloppy hack for sloppy strumming.

Habit of BB King and David Gilmour please!!

I love how important it is for you that we have our own style! I agree so much and i really dislike to hear someone copying too much, because they are missing out on the joy of making something your own!

Well done on all your vids... love the way you distill technique and tone, and translate things to a workable "language".

Very nice video dude, only discovered Mayer a couple weeks ago but absolutely love his sound and technique.

we need habits of john frusciante

The camera angle is great to see the techniques. Great review of Mayer Style. Thanks so much!!

This is a much better and instructive video format than your old channel. Thank you by the tips.

I'd loooove to see a habits of Mateus asato!!

I enjoy your videos....thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge!

These habits videoes are so awsome! The triad part reminded me of the one of john frusciante wich is also a hendrix inspired player

Solid lesson. Simple pieces of info, but they add some nice sophistication to progressions and riffs most of us already know.

Man you've got a tone that's fantastic. Great explanations. Keep up the good work.

Great video, I got one note on the first technique you talk about: John flicks the strings when he slaps on stop this train, also on several other songs(Heart of life and Who says for example) It seems like just a simple extra technique but it takes quite some time to get the hang of.

Interesting approach Music is Win. Thanks!

Excellent lesson, cheers!

Great video! Thanks for all the info.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

love you for doing this

i just wanted to buy the same guitar on reverb but it has been sold just a few days ago. now i see you got a honey burst strat too, love it.

Your amplifier sounds glorious. thanks for videos nice work.

I hope Lee Anderton sees this

JM actually plays note with his pointer finger when he slaps his thumb on bass string in half of his songs ..including 'Stop this train' which you played muting the note with each slap, thereby killing the feeling of the song. Who says, heart of life are some other songs where he plays note while slapping instead of completely muting all strings.

You're a slammin' guitarist, man; concisely informative for the intermediate - advanced guitar player. At 11:23 it should be "adopt," not "adapt." I wish you continued success with your channel!

will be giving these a go today, awesome video!

i love john mayer!! nice video and thank you!!!

This video was super helpful! Thank you so much!

I would love to see a "Habits of .." video about Chuck Schuldiner. I really love his complex composition of his riffs and solos, and I would love to learn about his guitar playing. Thank you.

This is an awesome series. Great contente. That up raking is SO TRUE. Congrats. I'll look for the "Habits of Clapton", Santana and Al di Meola. If there aint, please make them, you're too good at analysing styles and technique.

Great Vid! Love John Mayer - Also, Habits of Mark Knopfler?

How does he do the guitar faces and get all those girls?

Well said on the intro brother. We are all unique. Celebrate it.

Spot on! JM's one of my favs #bluesrock

My request has been granted Thanks man!!

Nice job. Great info. Thx.

These habit videos are awesome. Way more useful than your typical "how to play this lick" type stuff. Can you do a Trey Anastasio habit video?

Such good vid man! Thanks for all this data

Habits of john Mayer on acoustic guitar.

Habits of Peter Green.

Haha!!! I literally just put on john mayers "love is on the way" when i got this your video notification.... i love the guitar in this song and was gonna try to learn it ;)

if you did a lesson on how to play who did you think I was the way that you did it that would be awesome and I would play it. thanks for being a great teacher bro, keep up the good work

We need one for lil wayne

Great video!!!

Excelent video!

I just subscribed I'm a noob but get lesson I luv all of those little crafty cool ass techniques!!I'm a fan!!

Thank you buddy for uploading my john mayer's habits

Amazing lesson

I want this Strat. Love the finish.

Nice video! Thanks a lot

Nice video about technics. Thanks!!!

This was awesome! 🤘

It'd be interesting to see you try "Habits of Ryan Adams". I'd appreciate it at least! His guitar work back in The Cardinals from 2005-2009 was incredible. He holds back A LOT nowadays.

Tyler: Really great job on this series - far more interesting and helpful than typical song/tab type lessons. Definitely provides deeper insight into the individual stylistic quirks of our fave players. Have you done a Satch one yet? For sure, Joe has a ton of unique little things he does :) thanks and cheers!

habits of Chuck Schuldiner. I absolutely love his riff writing and solo composition and think he is a severly underrated guitarist. would absolutely eat up a video about him

Good tribute to JM, I'm a fan forever.

Habbits of James Hetfield, he has a lot. including down picking pretty much everything

You’re awesome bro 👍

excellent lesson

6:45 that was one of the sweetest riffs I've ever heard

habits of @robscallon please

Awesome video. Learnt a couple stuff. Btw your voice is so clean even tho you are not close to any mic. What mic or how do you record it? Cheers mate.

Related to this you did a video about a rhythmic blues solo approach. Would be great to see an in depth video about that

an international artist...he does Amazing songs

great find! keep shredding dude, makes me itch for a jam so bad watching you play ☺

John is the man and so are you.

Great eye-opening context!

Amazing!!

Great video

Hey man! Can you please do "habbits of zakk wylde" ? The dude's a legend and i think it would be great. Love your videos,keep up the good work!

John said the he actually don’t like the ‘slap’ technique. It surely can get overused and then becomes a problem, but it is awesome.

great video - thks

On Stop This Train John actually uses what one calls thump-slap teqnique where he slaps with his thump and at the same time strums the strings lightly with his index finger
