To those who are about to look it up ‘reharmonisation’; taking an existing melodic line and altering the harmony that accompanies it, often seen in jazz. Love to see it Adam.
This is actually a really good idea for learning to write songs. Start listening to a song and stop after a few bars and try to predict the rest. Great for ear training and learning to structure songs. I'm definitely gonna start trying to do that. Great job! Video was beautifully cheesy and I loved it!! A musician should always embrace being eccentric and having a good time and never worry about looking silly or being embarrassed. Keep having fun and making great content ❤️
I think you are so, so right. Apparently, the advent of man may have begun when they started consuming mind altering mushrooms, as their way of thinking outside the box.
Nope, I don't follow the John (despite being a fan) gonna go check it out now though. Seem John live, probably my favourite ever gig (close to Bonamassa).
Absolutely fkn brilliant. Hahah. Omg. The fact that JM posted this on his IG Story shows you how brilliant it is. Congrats on getting attention from the man himself. Genius!!
"I don't know why I'm doing this.." Because it is cool as hell. It is the sort of thing I would do if I had any talent at all. It is a spectacular song writing challenge. I'm and engineer and I've learned so much re-creating other people's work. As a challenge or as a necessity to repair broken things.
Wow this sounds incredible! Great job and I can’t wait to compare your version to the real thing when it comes out! 😁🎸🎶👍 Back to listen once again after John Mayer posted this to his Instagram story! Well done Mary for the incredible video idea and for getting recognised by the man himself! I have a feeling your going to go far and who knows maybe you’ll be able to play with Mr Mayer live sometime that would be incredible! Have a great rest of your day! 😁🥳
Your solo PERFECTLY captured John's signature guitar tone. I've been following Rick for years and he is why I am now subscribing to a very creative, talented and intelligent Mary Spender. Well done!
I would watch/listen to you sing the phone book! Terrific video--love the explanation of how you put it all together, and the "high budget" video wrought from this experiment has the perfect synergy of harmony and humor. The camera loves you! Thanks for putting this together.
Not only are you more interesting than JM, you are very daring, stretching beyond your comfort zone, and you are quite talented. I really appreciate how you share your thinking about many aspects of your music. You are really a star!
With total respect to my favourite artist of today Mr Mayer, the spender version chord variation & soloing was to to my liking greater then the original also the lyrics awesome structure well thought off!!! lady spender smashed it!!!!! Video also is better IMHO!!!
Was reminded of this from your latest video about your videos lol This was my intro to you, and when I subscribed. Since then i have discovered much more of your content, new and old. It is all informative, entertaining, and well worthy of views. Thanks, Mary, for all that you do. Keep sharing your music and your valuable insights!
I love your voice Mary. Calming. John recognizing and sharing this on instagram is a brilliant move. We love him for it. I do anyway. Do you? Full aikido move on his part. And his recognition is positive and uplifting.
Fantastic!!! The song by the way is really cool, I want it as a bonus truck on John’s new album... or I want your new album with the John Mayer’s song as a bonus track😂 hugs from Italy
@@civ20 where the light is, isn’t a blues album. Yeah it’s got his trio set, but it’s mainly focused around his more mainstream stuff. “Try” is his blues album
yo I'm going to reharm this
Yeah !!
please do
To those who are about to look it up ‘reharmonisation’; taking an existing melodic line and altering the harmony that accompanies it, often seen in jazz. Love to see it Adam.
@I Adore . . . kinda thought the same, would he have "reharmed" it if John didn't share it? We won't know.
Just do it! In fact all UA-cam guitar channels should do it! #harmmayer
Please write his next album
What about a complete discography?
I totally agree with the weird accent bearded guy! 🤘🏼
I agree too!
...Dutch what he said.
I’m just here for the Paul David’s comments.
Plot twist: Mayer's new song comes out and the algorithm automatically demonetizes it because of Mary's version.
Hahaha that would honestly be fantastic and what a tribute to Mary that'd be
😂
It did
LOL
@@MerijnH EZ Money
Who's here after the release of last train home 😌
loved both of the versions ❤️
John’s probably frantically re-recording his right now, so it’s not the same... :-)
hahahahaha
Or so it is the same....
🤣
i wanted to like the comment - but its at 420 right now - so here, get a comment
Or re-recording it to sound the same because it's so damn good
As a long time fan of Mary, I understand how HUGE of a deal it is that John mentioned it!
Nailed the JM facial expressions during the solo. That’s the most important bit.

Incredible skill required.
I think you are so, so right.

I think John should get you to open up for him on tour... Then you can do a few numbers as duets.
Yes ID PAY for that
We should start a poll or something!

#mayertourswithmary 😎
He is john mayer dude
Slow your roll
John Mayer endorsed this himself. Amazing job !
Please tell us where did he mention this, have to see it 😁
@@alethephobe7586 it was in his IG stories. It's gone now sorry.
@@alethephobe7586 Mary posted a screenshot of his Instagram story on her Instagram account so you can see it there!
So the single released and I heard it today, and I just had to come back and compliment you at how close you actually got. Bravo Mary!
Who else is here after John posted this on IG? this is amazing Mary! You have a new fan :)
He did? Wow! This is even more awesome!
Nope, I don't follow the John (despite being a fan) gonna go check it out now though.
Seem John live, probably my favourite ever gig (close to Bonamassa).
Absolutely fkn brilliant. Hahah. Omg. The fact that JM posted this on his IG Story shows you how brilliant it is. Congrats on getting attention from the man himself. Genius!!
Impressive how well you nailed this - down to the strong 80's vibe in the video!
You just know John’s gunna superimpose his face over yours for the music video
Oh my I love this video so much 💜 yessss Mary killing the prod.
Watching the music UA-camrs supporting each other makes my heart warm. Y’all. 💛
John mayer just did a cover of this song! :D
😄
This is sooo good: that voice, that vibrato, that groove, that tone, that solo!

UA-cam should have a “fkn genius” button for this video ❤️
I agree!
Wow this sounds incredible! Great job and I can’t wait to compare your version to the real thing when it comes out! 😁🎸🎶👍

This self challenge might be the beginning of a new trend of anticipate to artist's new releases.... Well done Mary! One step ahead 🤘🏻
MARY F*CKING SPENDER!!! 😍🙌🏻
I predict a Mary Spender-John Mayer collaboration in the future.
Let's all just take a moment to appreciate the choreography of the music video portion of this.
Keyboard Mary is my new favorite music video character.
John won’t strike it Mary, he promoted this video
I loved your silliness also! We should never take ourselves too seriously 🥰 I love your music! I guess I’ll have to buy some, huh?
Who is here from John Mayers IG story post?
What??😂
Couldn't believe it when I saw, Mary's hit the big time lol
Me lmaooo
Me. What a crossover.
Me 😂😂
I would watch/listen to you sing the phone book!
Terrific video--love the explanation of how you put it all together, and the "high budget" video wrought from this experiment has the perfect synergy of harmony and humor. The camera loves you! Thanks for putting this together.
Not only are you more interesting than JM, you are very daring, stretching beyond your comfort zone, and you are quite talented. I really appreciate how you share your thinking about many aspects of your music. You are really a star!
Exactly! Mayer is old and in the way. Mary needs to be a fan of better/ more interesting musicians. Mayer shot his wad a while ago.
I love how that guitar changes colors outside in the sunlight.
MAD SKILLS! I love how you piece all of it together. YOU ROCK!!
Just watched the premier..... you nailed it!
I'm really worried that I'm gonna enjoy this more than the actual John Mayer single
Teeheeeeee
So do I.
Right?
John Mayer is worried, not you.
Mary Spender ft John Mayer(remix)
I absolutely love finding unbelievably talented musicians unexpectedly on youtube. Now the journey starts to watch all your content. Thank you
It's here, JM released the single! Let's hear your take on how close you got musically, can't wait!
ua-cam.com/video/zXL_Grv3WWk/v-deo.html
John Mayer posted this in his Instagram story. Congrats, Mary!!!
See... triads!
Whatever happens tomorrow, THIS is the song that's been stuck in my head for two months!
This was a great idea for a video, very entertaining,. more please!
Great version of this song. Would love to hear more Mary Spenderified covers 👍
With total respect to my favourite artist of today Mr Mayer, the spender version chord variation & soloing was to to my liking greater then the original also the lyrics awesome structure well thought off!!! lady spender smashed it!!!!! Video also is better IMHO!!!
Loving the video production! So fun!
That’s awesome John re-wrote your song!! What a great concept. Loved your version! It was 🔥
I love that you've got the same twinkle of genius arrogance in your eyes as John used to when he was younger haha. Kudos!
Beautiful voice, beautiful guitar playing and just beautiful in general to be honest 😊🎸😍
Was reminded of this from your latest video about your videos lol
This was my intro to you, and when I subscribed. Since then i have discovered much more of your content, new and old. It is all informative, entertaining, and well worthy of views.
Thanks, Mary, for all that you do. Keep sharing your music and your valuable insights!
Crazy challenge... AND a video??!?! Great job
Man John Mayer's cover is almost as good as this. If he keeps it up he might be good enough to open for your tour one day ❤️
Good on you, sporting a Norman's Rare Guitar shirt! John will appreciate it too!
Definitely enjoyed the final play through. Talented young woman...pleased to meet you. Look forward to more.
I think John should sing Mary's song now !))
This is like the musical equivalent of Marvel theory videos and I’m here for it
Mary, you are really the coolest! Love it! Thanks a lot for spoiling us with your great work. So talented! God bless you!
John needs to see this.... Such dedication Mary, as usual! 💜
An excellent way to get hired for his coming tour
Awesome idea for a video. Also, I am now obsessed with that dark Knight Fender Strat
I love your voice Mary. Calming.
John recognizing and sharing this on instagram is a brilliant move. We love him for it. I do anyway. Do you? Full aikido move on his part. And his recognition is positive and uplifting.
4:56 go 'home' and write the lyrics. the song is called Last Train Home. you were onto something 😳
Now this is what u call a cool challenge! great vid!!! amazing content!!!!
This was such a joy to listen to. You are and sound amazing.
Seeing that Dark Night Strat over and over again on this channel is making me wanna get one :(
Awesome idea Mary!!!! Can’t wait to hear BOTH versions now! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏻❤️❤️👏🏻🎵🎧🎤🔊🎹🎶🎸🎸
Still impressed with how well you nailed this one. Well done.
That music video was so cheesy in the best possible way. This was real fun to watch.
The mv is sooo darn good and hilarious! hahaha was smiling the entire time. this is geniuuus!
After watching this I treasure Mary that little bit more.
One step closer to John Mayer on Chewsday Tawks
Lots of work! But it makes us smile to see you happy!
Love what you did with the background vocals. Great job! Thank you! 🎸🤘
I can't wait to see! Love it!
Young Lady, you are Very talented 👏 ❤! I appreciate your musicality! Also, I've appreciated your co-labs with Leo.
Guys who came here after listening to JM's latest single??
...figuring out "those bits"... my favorite state of mind, hah. Love your plectrum style Mary!
obviously I meant *plectrum-LESS
WOW. Good job Mary.
I’m not a huge Mayer fan, so there’s a good chance that when comparing the two, I would like this song better😂 Sounds great!!!
Awesome to watch you go through this!!!
I can smell a duet coming online soon
okay so i need a video about both songs now 😅🤷♂️ both great !!
You’ve got johns support so that’s absolutely amazing!
This is killer. Mystery to be put together. Good work there Mary.
I could see this being better than John Mayer's version.
Well done! I really like your vibe, mindset and the way you produced it! All the best! Respect!
God this is great. You're a genius Mary. I'm not a fan of Mayer but if you were to write a song together I wouldn't be mad.
who else thinks high budget music video should have been in the "new light" style
Sounds awesome cheers from Canada
This is kinda like those "AI finishes the song" videos, but it's Actual intelligence and talent and artistry doing it! Love it!
He actually used your opening solo riff or am I tripping? Cause I’m pretty sure he did it
He did
@@dogpd3 highly improbable. She probably got the beginning from the teasers
I cannot with this 80’s/90’s music video 🤣
You think John's New Light is any different?
@@whitewalker608 yeah it’s no where near as good as this
Incredibly original and interesting content. Congrats. This was wonderful (and really nicely produced).
Mary Spender, you are awesome! Delightful approach for demonstrating your appreciation and creativity and ingenuity...brilliant.
Holy shit Mary, John Mayer posted your vid on his IG instagram.com/stories/johnmayer/2537453509814807902/
Way to go!! and great vid!
What a playful soul inspiring story told by such a treasure of melodic wonder 😀 Love it Mary!
Fantastic!!! The song by the way is really cool, I want it as a bonus truck on John’s new album... or I want your new album with the John Mayer’s song as a bonus track😂 hugs from Italy
That guitar solo ✨✨
Brilliant Mary 🎸🎤🎸
love this video already and only a few minutes in.... & love that guitar...
Still waiting for John's blues album...
@@kitano0 would love one, but don’t think it will happen 😭
Don't hold your breath....
He already has one of the best blues albums. Where the light is
If you're looking for a blues album, look somewhere else.
@@civ20 where the light is, isn’t a blues album. Yeah it’s got his trio set, but it’s mainly focused around his more mainstream stuff. “Try” is his blues album
Very cool idea...enjoyed the process.
