Thanks John. I’m one of those lucky dude who has one of those friends

Brilliant

Love this fuckin guy.

So he rhymed IT with IT

Miss the old way of writing

I was super skeptical about John leading the Dead but I only knew about his pop career in the 90s. But he has more than won me over. He’s a musical genius and arguably one of the best singer guitarists ever

One of my favorite songs on the record.

❤❤❤❤❤

Also, the fact that it ends up rhyming on "some how you got through it" makes the thought of getting through something tough feel even better while thinking of it. The rhyming resolve makes the musical resolve that much better and visa versa.

It's cadence and timing along with wordsmithing very well.

I just started playing bass and slow dancing was one of the first songs I learned. It's really simple, but brilliant and incredibly fun to play. totally changed the way I see the song too

This is something a lot of musicians spend most of their lives never learning. Music is diverse. There might be certain recommended guidelines, but it's still an art form. You can bend and break rules and still make something sound beautiful. John is one of many artists who use this as a tool rather than a restriction.

one of my favorite songs. masterpiece.

Ha the algorithm provided for me as I'm trying to learn this riff right now

Many videos comment on how great other musicians's songs are. Only John Mayer can make a video on why his songs are great. 😂

😊

I Wish i could have such a long thumb

huh?

Seeing John's thumb peek over the fret board makes me feel better about doing it

What guitar is that? Doesn’t look like an OM. Some kind of D-series Martin? D18? 🤔

Shave the mustache - looks stupid- and otherwise u r very handsome!

So useful. Thank you. In one of his videos, John talked about learning a riff and then reverse engineering it. Why does it work? This is perfect for players with knowledge, but trying to learn how things fit together. Fantastic.

Imperfect rhyming will result to a more rare and more genuine lyric and sound because you can carelessly tell or sing every word you like, there are no rules. Also Its not for the ears of masses and thats what uniqueness means like this song.

can't write lyrics for shit my guy, every song is corny

Listened to this album yesterday. Still as good as when i first heard it.

Achei que era o Luan Santana. I was thinking it was Luan Santana from Brazil. 😂😂😂😂

Never even realized this song doesn't rhyme

thank you...

He's totally rhyming... it would sound very different without the inside rhymes

Great. Now I’m crying.

But you rhyming with cadence Eninem

Dang, he just rymed “home” and “alone”. Knew it was too good to be true 😭

Mayer is one of the greats

He immediately rhymes yourself and innocence lol

I’m 38 and have been a huge fan of John Mayer since I was in high school! I’m so grateful he’s still producing music. His older songs fill me with such nostalgia, driving the same country roads listening to the same music as I did when I was 16. Makes me happy and grateful to be alive 😊

I went from hating that guy to taking notes when he talks.

👍🏼

No one knows what chord he played 😂

Bro rhymed it with it and the comments are like he’s the second coming

The master of musical mysteries..awsome

Reminds me of what my grandpa used to say: "I like to take a little hammer and hit my head with hit for a few minutes sometimes, so it feels so good when I stop"

Next play a completely out of tune guitar with no rhythm and one handed monkey boy

So true JM👍can I be your friend?😂

Fucking genius

You might not like his music (I do) but you gotta respect that hair! That’s honestly his greatest gift as a middle age dude

Except it does rhyme. Not consonantly, but assonantly. Lots of musicians know about this trick and the fact that meaning is way more important than perfect rhymes

A lot of older folk music does this

great song! But actualy... he did rhyme "it" with "it"

For a more pro skills (only if you master pentatonic and the modes) is working in grade substitutions, in this case C# is the iii from A so it sounds like Amaj7, C# also is the relative vi from E and it sounds like the E scale itself

Fucking genius. I love him.
