John Mayer - Last Train Home (Ballad Version - Official Video) 

It just works!

And we love it ☺️

Hi Paul

you don't know what you're talking about...oh wait 😳

Had a bowl of cornflakes this morning, Surely enough i was ripping into those little crispy flakes with minor pentatonic licks and a little dance

Is it just me or did he just reinvented a signature riff that he also used in Ryan Adams' song, F*** the Rain? It's just so good

I always thought it lacked a solo. Now it is done 👌🏾👌🏾

AGREED!

Seen him live a few times and I get chills everything he goes in to the zone with these solos

Mayer used put importance on originality. Now hes just regurgitating a whole decade of boring ideas. I bet the 80s sound is pretty neat to fresh ears. But to the rest of us it's a thousand wrong turns that led to the most excessive decade in the record business. That solo has almost no relationship to the song other than being mostly in key...typical 80's 🤷‍♂️. Hes John Mayer, his bends shouldnt bush league....

Exactly what I’m thinking

Agree!

I actually now think this, this version, is the best song John Mayer has ever made. This is SO GOOD

💎 He's underrated.

@@nemanjaristic6821 yassss sir! 💯 💕

Eric Gales should be considered

One of the best, the best at all those things, maybe that’s an exaggeration in my opinion, it’s not a competition tho

lol cmon pal

its subjective pal

Kingfish too. Very soulful blues player

that " do more like Continuum and now i realized ..... " same thought... and it is absolutely true

I think the diversity of his albums is what makes him so special. Not many artists have the guts to experiment with different sounds like he does.

@@sicboi I hope John sticks to the thought of loving melodic songs, but you could be right and he might experiment in the jazz direction one day.

Srsly man.. i didn’t know that his guitar playing even can get improved more, because he has been a master player for last decade. And now i’m like.. wow.. that touch

I am glad he went a different way with any album, continuum remains one of my favorites, but sob rock CD is staying in my car whenever I need some good 80s sound

I'm with ya my man. Reminds a lot of _"Prince."_ ei Were he still alive I could 100% see him singing performing this song. The guitar similarities are uncanny, the way on occasion you can't distinguish it from his voice (or vice versa) as they both convey so much raw emotion that's chaotic, almost pleading, but somehow still under control.

@@crzyces1693 Nothing like Prince at all. What are you talking about? Lol.

Hey I'm 80 and I'm with you all the way on this. I think his best song ever is Gravity, and I've listened to various renditions of it probably a hundred times or more, but this guy is really special and this song made me tear up the first time I heard it not even halfway into it. Thanks for posting, I'm glad to know I'm not the only person into senior citizenship who thinks this guy and this rendition are bleeping AWESOME!

Mayer somehow somewhere manages to make atleast one really good stand-out track in his albums. I believe it's the most difficult things to do when you're sort of confined to one genre.

Wonderfully said.

Same here, John's music revives me

Aye lmao I'm subbed to you, you're a true fan ❤️

I hear you, but it can't be just his hair! He stole the color of my Staggocaster! I demand a rematch.

Yeah lol, nice hair leads to great art....🙄😬

@@danrebolledo8385 no talent does but he's just saying that because continuum was arguably his best album and he had long hair for that one

@@ChilliCasperCorbett that's a great record by any definition. And while it changed a lot of people into Mayer fans and produced a couple classics, Room for Squares changed music (short hair) 🤷‍♂️

Agree 100%! That lick was awesome.

100% agree as well. I totally love it. Been listening to it many many times now. Came out of nowhere. I wonder what he was singing to himself during that lick

@@DaveRevst4548he was definitely thinking outside the box there.

hey man can you blame him?

@@brandonh1977 nah i’m thanking him

I read this as “closet solo” and now all I can picture is him playing guitar in a closet.

lol - for sure!!!

@@lisamiller4096 He's a deeply closeted soloist

Most likely it's not even too far away from the truth

See if you can spot the bum note.

There is quite a bit of editing there. What makes you think it was only one take?

Yapsss to sweet for a crazy man like him...ahh mayerrrr

It goes to show that guitarist will jump in and play on ANYTHING

The guitar can.

Agreed. This version is definitely better than the original, which I can't listen to because it sounds like Africa.

Mary Spender

He’s the gift that keeps on giving. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 You need to go Church ⛪ Then you'll know the true meaning of "Soul Full"

No kidding. This is pure magic.

I feel like each times he performs live he never play the same version of the same song

That’s what his love shows are like! Plays the song with an extended guitar solo. I remember hearing him say that he takes that into account when writing a song

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0tUSkPgOBgo.html

would you mind shutting up?

LONGER SOLOS

awesome

Same here

John Mayer is good and all, but you're definitely missing a lot in life if you ignore literally all other musicians in the world lol

Same

@@Itza-Me i havent ignored everyone. I'm well rounded in my musical taste. I like everyone from classics like beatles, floyd, zepplin, to new age songwriters like Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, and Feist. But Mayer remains my favorite and go to.

No doubt about that. And the crazy thing is, he can replicate it!

💯

One hundred percent

Really makes me consider just being a banker or something.

Can’t wait to see him live for the first time in Toronto in 2022! I was going to go to the 2019 show but decided against it and then covid hit - I said to myself I was going to the next show whenever it was.

The great ones always do 🥰🥰

@@hockuspockus911 enjoy saw him twice live and will be seeing him in February. To me he sounds much more free when playing live. Also he rips a solo on like all of his songs lol so good

And singer too

Musicians

Lyrics are pretty deep

You mean Billy Strings

Amen to that.

Well said!! 😂😂

😂

😂❤

LOLOLOLOLOLLLLL😅

Feel you Sir 🗿🙂

The sheer joy on John's face at 4:20 is a sight to see. My son is a musician and he calls that the moment you and the instrument become one and you both soar.

@@donnav7103 that’s the best moment ever as a musician, your not playing the guitar and it’s not even playing you, you ARE the guitar, and it is your vessel to soeak

It's my second favorite next to "A Time and Place"'s guitar riff

@@matthewmoran5297 never heard that ima have to check it out!

@@mparr-_-3984 You should. It's an underrated gem! 😊

Hearing Sob Rock on his tour next year will be breathtaking!

Exactly the same, it’s sooo comforting ❤️

Yup 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Well said! It's definitely my most listened to album this year by far. It's incredible, and the production is absolutely stunning. 👍

i completely agree. this album has been everywhere with me. so many experiences and memories with these songs. it never gets old. always find myself reflecting on life and growing more every time I listen to it. i think john mayer is one of the modern GOATS. people that bag on him know nothing, and are probably living in the shadow. we all have to go through it.

Modern music is a shit.

Last time a modern song felt so timeless ? Maybe- " Gravity " ?

this isn't really modern. Song could have been made and performed in the 1980s. It's great though both the original and this slower version :)

@@Faiunsoldecaralllo No it isn't. You're just not very good at finding the good stuff.

This is so true!!!!

To be honest, I think this is the case for any song ever.

You know it's a great song when the music hits harder than the lyrics

@@karishmasharma9432 you know when its a good song whit it hits you in general, unlike 99% or music now a days hahaha

Hes a liberal hack that hates America

Hello 👋 Thanks to you all I call my fans, I appreciate all the support and love you have been given to me all this years you all made me whom I am today I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind gesture towards me and am most grateful to have you as my fan...

EXACTLY - john literally wrote a new chorus with that solo and the way he plays it with such passion! Spot On!

Yo si conocía de la existencia de JM , pero me había negado a escuchar música contemporánea, y eso que apenas tengo 27, pero como iba pintando la cosa, solo conocía a JM como un intérprete del blues y el jazz , como un guitarrista de apoyo, lo veia junto a Erick Clapton, BB king y nunca dude de su habilidad con la guitarra, pero nunca me llamó la atención investigar su carrera de solista porque dije , seguro es una *@#$ , pero me cerró toda la boca luego que encontré Gravity , solo espero que en verdad sea suya y no un cover o remake de alguna vieja canción, pero de todas formas ha hecho única esa canción , es increíble, igual a esta y su solo, ojalá siga así

Wooow 🌟

@@kippsguitar6539 Where?

@@kippsguitar6539 You obviously know precious little about guitar playing......

@@kippsguitar6539 try playing Neon, never mind singing it at the same time.

I tried but he cancelled all of florida

Dude I chased him back to back in 2013 saw him 3 times that summer, after coming out of the pause year for his throat surgery and got to hear, born and raised plus paradise valley. I scored a state fair ticket just so I could be as close to the stage as possible. I have a huge problem with not being close to the stage just annoys me being in seats plus constrained but the state fair I got standing tickets and literally was one of my favorite concerts ever. It's hard to convey what it's like seeing him live it seriously is. I'm just glad I've seen him 5 times but should have over the last 20 years seen him like 40 times plus had gone on the mayer curiseship.

@@ryan0150 why’d he cancel Florida?

Agreed! I just saw him in LA a few days ago and my god was that show special. Like you said, you will go through so many emotions and every bit of time and money to be there is worth it

He was being very spontaneous in Denver. He emotes more than many players I've seen live. And his band is top-notch. I'm just happy to be alive at the same time he's here.

Hi Tomo, good to see you here. Have a blessed day.

Tomo you can clearly hear your influence on Jm’s playing ! You both know exactly when to leave space and when to completely take off and soar ! The best thing I learnt from you was that the notes you don’t play are just as important as the ones you do

@@TJjjjjjjjjjj Fujita san. So good to see you here.

Do you give online lessons ?!?!?!? I need guidance

@@jq206 Thanks for asking me about Skype lessons. Currently my Skype lessons are not available. Please join my Guitar Wisdom. I teach everything there! Only $9.99 a month subscription video lessons so all you have to do is skip one lunch a month!

no not at all he is widely celebrated and respected musician, his music is like wine the older it becomes more beautiful, generally people who pass him off are the people with little or low affinity in music and the less talented ones who knows they can never play as better as him

I think the word underappreciate is quite not true, but yes some people do pass him off as just a pop artist while he’s actually an awesome blues dude

@@sauravprakash7542 yeah thats true i used the wrong word, I just meant that he is written off as something he's not too much

@@jayceoksiuta9082 highly addictive music each song has so much tones, colours, progression, lyrics to explore, generally guitarists love such type of music

❤

es cierto

In my opinion his vocal work is better now than it has ever been. And that's even after losing 2 or 3 notes in his upper falsetto range, post vocal surgery. He has gotten away from the throat whisper thing he did his first 2 or 3 albums and he sounds better for it.

@@ronaldmckee7542 Wow thanks for the insight

@@ronaldmckee7542 his voice peaked in 06-07 its been downhill since his issues with his throat.

@james carrol, dude freaking awesome comment I can't disagree with you on that. I've be listening to him since his first album and such fascinating evolution he's had..

Maybe his more passionate w/ his guitar playing than his singing...✌️

Fantastic! And 4:49 also

Jason Mraz is another artist who just has a ton of joy in every one of this song, and many sound like a jam session, such a great vibe to them. His live stuff is excellent.

​@@TheTommyCraft Definitely appreciate Mraz's songwriting, he's got some beautiful songs. But I'm sure you'll agree with me in saying the subtly juxtaposed combination of Mayer's voice, lyrics and guitar chops just... works. A beautiful, complimentary trifecta of talents that you just don't get from most artists these days.

Tell me you’re an infectious disease doctor without telling me you’re an infectious disease doctor

@@tomtankengine0 I concur that Mayer is the better artist, no doubt. I was just pointing out that pure joy of expression, jubilance of having fun is consistently in Mraz’s music as well. It isn’t anywhere near as technically accomplished, but you can’t help but hear the fun Mraz and his band is having and a lot of his music lifts your spirit regardless. Mayer is another level though, no doubt.

@@TheTommyCraft My bad, I misinterpreted your comment completely. It has become so easy to assume people are just sparking 'Mayer vs XYZ' arguments these days! Mayer, Mraz and Jack Johnson are all in a similar, 'warm-hug' kind of vein.

Hi to

Oldies but goodies

Yes he told that it was a one taker! Incredible musicians ❤️

Best concert I've ever been to, Stockholm 2019. Absolutely unmatched with everything i have been to.

💯. Twice I’ve had the pleasure.

I've been listening to JCM since Room for Squares, when I was a mere 30 (? oh god, I'm so old)... But am still blown away whenever I hear anything post-Heavier things. I mean, Jesus, he was already in the pantheon of songwriting with his first couple albums, for chrissakes... But then along comes Continuum and it's like - okay, WTF, is there ANYTHING this man cannot do? Album after album, live performance after live performance, NOPE. Clearly not. Hell, he can even ACT. Erudite as FUCK, a charming bastard to boot. Trying not to be bitter, okay... Some people are just blessed by the cosmos. It's for the rest of us mere mortals to simply lie back and enjoy it. So to speak. If I had all the money in the world, one of the first things I'd do is get front row seats to his tours. I mean, yeah - set up a trust fund for my kid, a foundation to get low-cost housing set up for my hometown... but definitely front row seats would be a top tier priority. Something I'll never get in this lifetime, otherwise. 😉

Never thought the rug lady I like to watch would be here

That pink guitar looks the same one that given to Blackpink Rose as a gift from John Mayer.. (not sure tough if exactly same thing as seen this video or just same model.. )
