These clips are part of what sets you apart from other musicians. You can tell that you truly adore your fans as you should because you have some of the best fans out there! Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the new album...
Wow! I can't wait this new album! the song of 0:45 it's very cool and "Heartbreak Warfare" it's really beauty, thank's John for all your music, God Bless you. Greetings from Spain.
Thanks John. You`re so sweet to the fans, letting us in to the Battle Studies progress as much as you do! :) This sounds great, and there is no other album coming out in 2009 that I`m more excited for than this one.
You're by far the most inviting celebrity out there. This is great stuff, John. Recording at home just like small bands except with big boy toys to record with. That paul threw me for a loop, but I guess everyone experiments with different tones from other guitar. Keep playin' the blues man. That's one hell of a trio you guys are in.
thats a dream come true to see your creative process working, instead of fantasizing about the mystery of it all. its a big machine, your creative process....and I like to see its parts...and see how I can match my parts up to it....I can tell its going to be a big STEP UP, and step TO THE SIDE from the last thing. Different and better is the way my man, you perpetually have my attention sir. :)
Love the jam at :45. Love Steve's comments on the lamp though: "Keeps us honest... No we got work. We're working." Well keep on doing work Steve & John! Can't wait to see Battle Studies in full action. I'm ready. (Also loved the disclaimer thing. "Battle Studies" back to the regular Room for Squares/Heavier Things font)
somebody commented on here: "I am so in the mood for a rock record." and I absolutely second that! i like this... getting in the making of an album, while it's still in production, whitout taking the surprise out of the final product. those short videos are a good idea!
That's definitely every musicians DREAM! haha Nice man =) New album is gonna come out swinging, I sure. Looking forward to more videos of the studio! Thanks for posting!
This is good, real good. Books made into Films can sometimes not live up to the hype you create in your mind by reading the printed text.. I read the print on your twitter before coming here, and the hype has indeed exceeded itself.. So, Awesome =)
John, I don't know if you know it, but it is just fantastic that a great artist such as yourself, still cares enough about his fans to post UA-cam videos of what he is currently working on. Much respect.
Great video. I'm such a huge fan of yours, but at the same time I feel like I don't know anything about your work. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for posting these videos. I really appreciate it. Ethan R.
Trust me that sound at 0:45 reminded me of Jimi Hendrix!... and few songs of Stevie Ray Vaughn it good The tunes John has revealed till now(of the new album)... are really great,,, this one, half of my heart, that one with the sunset, heartbreak warfare! I think this is gonna be worth a big thing!
I love your music! Your vibe is always heartfelt to me...Do you ever think about adding strange sounds like the shofar horn, harp, Middle Eastern sounds, .etc.,...to a song every once in awhile....those are always spooky in an enlightening sort of way. ~Raven
The groove at 0:45 is super slick. A fatter, more "rich" tone (thank God for Les Paul) than what Mayer has had in the past. I hope the hook is as good as the riff...but now I'm jonesin' to hear more of it.
Let's be honest here - when you open the video with "the house" and then flash that gorgeous mansion on screen, I think we all know that you're not fooling anyone...that's an epic abode, sir.
that is such a sick song. I cant believe it didnt exist till now! I had to replay the part in the beginning where he was blabbing (jk) to hear it. i can not wait to full on hear it. master this shit and let me have it!!!
the4 amazing thing about mayer is, theres heaps of guitarists out there that are much better then him technically like on youtube and stuff, but his guitar playing is so lyrical and his songwriting is what pushes him from the head space of being "just another blues player" he is amazing!!
Good god. And to think I can't even record electric guitar tracks properly because consumer sound cards can't handle that hot a signal across that many frequency ranges. John man, that's an EPIC studio. It takes the meaning of home recording studio and makes it just a liiiitle different, don't you think? :)
some day I'm going to have talent and I too will be a world class musician able to build my own personal Musicians disneyland right in my own damn house.........course I also have a thing for tree forts, so I might put it all in a big ass oak tree, and then maybe tool the tree in such a way it becomes a musical instrument in and of itself as well.....I'm off to get some talent. Can't wait for this album!
As not only a big JM fan but as someone who's mildly obsessed w/ the studio world, this video made my eagerness for the new album multiply by like 30. Pretty much all I can think to say now is PUT OUT THE FREAKIN' RECORD, ALREADY!!! ... *achem* Sorry, um... please? :D
nice sound around the 50 seconds... really kind of a not-so-now-john-mayer but it seemed like you caught other thing... cant explain! (you figured that out!)
@jaimico777 I'm 99.99% its a song he was making for Battle Studies called "Rock Song". He mentioned it once via twitter. Too bad he hasn't released it. This, my friend, is all we have from that song.
i dont want to sound like i know everything, but albums take months to produce and refine, and i would guess this comes out like a month before christmas, or just after there, but hey, he could put it out much earlier.
i want your lifestyle man, you're living the dream
These clips are part of what sets you apart from other musicians. You can tell that you truly adore your fans as you should because you have some of the best fans out there! Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the new album...
could turn out to be one of my favorite documentary's of all time
yes yes yes yes. yes. LOVE how Steve still rocks on just a simple snare, cymbal and bass. YES.
It is awesome that you are showing what is going on behind the scenes. I look forward to watching it come to life and eagerly await the final product.
Thanks for sharing, John! Looks like a wonderful environment! I can't wait to hear the music that comes out of that place! Keep the videos coming!
Wow! I can't wait this new album! the song of 0:45 it's very cool and "Heartbreak Warfare" it's really beauty, thank's John for all your music, God Bless you.
Greetings from Spain.
Loving the updates! Please keep them coming! Can't WAIT for the album!
Awesome video! Thanks for letting us in to see you working your magic! Can't wait to hear it when it is finished!
Thanks John. You`re so sweet to the fans, letting us in to the Battle Studies progress as much as you do! :) This sounds great, and there is no other album coming out in 2009 that I`m more excited for than this one.
If John isn’t a musician, I believe he’ll be a great salesman
You're by far the most inviting celebrity out there. This is great stuff, John. Recording at home just like small bands except with big boy toys to record with.
That paul threw me for a loop, but I guess everyone experiments with different tones from other guitar. Keep playin' the blues man. That's one hell of a trio you guys are in.
THANK YOU JOHN for giving us updates on your album making 8)
you have no idea how pumped up we are!!!!
thats a dream come true to see your creative process working, instead of fantasizing about the mystery of it all. its a big machine, your creative process....and I like to see its parts...and see how I can match my parts up to it....I can tell its going to be a big STEP UP, and step TO THE SIDE from the last thing.

honest workers create admired grooves
thanks for letting us in on the creation
That riff at 0:52 is so badass. I can't wait.
somebody commented on here: "I am so in the mood for a rock record."
and I absolutely second that!
i like this... getting in the making of an album, while it's still in production, whitout taking the surprise out of the final product. those short videos are a good idea!
That's definitely every musicians DREAM! haha Nice man =) New album is gonna come out swinging, I sure. Looking forward to more videos of the studio! Thanks for posting!
thanks for updating us! i get more excited about the new album with every video!!
I hope that Hummingbird will find its way onto this album; I miss it. This video and the jam with Steve gets me pretty excited! Keep it up! :)
0:44 ~
Badass hook, this is the kind of style I'd love to see Mayer implementing into his new material...
This is good, real good. Books made into Films can sometimes not live up to the hype you create in your mind by reading the printed text.. I read the print on your twitter before coming here, and the hype has indeed exceeded itself..
So, Awesome =)
Loving this! Can't wait for more.
John, I don't know if you know it, but it is just fantastic that a great artist such as yourself, still cares enough about his fans to post UA-cam videos of what he is currently working on. Much respect.
WOOOO TRIO!! I'm so excited right now you don't even know!
I really dig the jam at 0:45. It awesome! I hope it is on the record!
Great video. I'm such a huge fan of yours, but at the same time I feel like I don't know anything about your work.
I have a lot to learn. Thanks for posting these videos. I really appreciate it.
Ethan R.
Love this. How exciting!
Really looking forward to the next album! Wish I had a studio like that ha!..
Rae x
whatever that beat was around the 50 sec mark, was HOT!!! I could see myself jamming down the road to that easily...LOVE IT :)
I can't wait for a new album!! Hurry it up!! :D
Your tat looks bad ass, you should show it more often^^
I had to leave my country to watch this video. Completely worth it.
Rock out! Looks like a fun place to grow music. I still love what you did with Timberlake's "Love Stoned."
Great stuff John!!
This makes me really excited!
Man.. Seems like you have such great life. Life as a musician seems so great
How awesome!!! Thank You John!
Trust me that sound at 0:45 reminded me of Jimi Hendrix!... and few songs of Stevie Ray Vaughn
it good
The tunes John has revealed till now(of the new album)... are really great,,, this one, half of my heart, that one with the sunset, heartbreak warfare!
I think this is gonna be worth a big thing!
nice studio and nice groove with that riff
yessssssss =] MAYERS BACK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO ENGLAND WHEN THE ALBUMS FINISHED YOU INSPIRE ME SOOO MUCH
0:08 - Marshall Bluesbreaker, Fender Bassman, Dumble Overdrive Special, Soldano Head, and a Two Rock. A guitarist's dream! :O
Its so that the whole album is a new experience, recorded in a completely new way and the whole album can be as organic as possible
Thanks, John! I need that new album, pronto.
I love Steve Jordan so much. Such a character!! 🤣
Fuck!! This is gonna be awesome, I never expected battlestudies would be like this!
so pumped for the new album!
Looking good, man, looking good.
Wow, amazing studio :D
Cheers for the updates john :)
I love your music! Your vibe is always heartfelt to me...Do you ever think about adding strange sounds like the shofar horn, harp, Middle Eastern sounds, .etc.,...to a song every once in awhile....those are always spooky in an enlightening sort of way. ~Raven
Supa stoked for the new ALBUM!!
I can't decide if I love knowing all of this or hate it because I'm so anxious to hear the finished product, either way thanx
Oh man, the new album is gonna be great.
it's all about the home recording studios... word ;)
@johncmayer great set up! looking forward to more videos and ultimately the record. =]
CANNOT WAIT!
The groove at 0:45 is super slick. A fatter, more "rich" tone (thank God for Les Paul) than what Mayer has had in the past. I hope the hook is as good as the riff...but now I'm jonesin' to hear more of it.
Let's be honest here - when you open the video with "the house" and then flash that gorgeous mansion on screen, I think we all know that you're not fooling anyone...that's an epic abode, sir.
The groove at 0:44 is so sick
everytime this updates, i get more excited for the new record.
like, right now, i am at about a 7/10.
that is such a sick song. I cant believe it didnt exist till now! I had to replay the part in the beginning where he was blabbing (jk) to hear it. i can not wait to full on hear it. master this shit and let me have it!!!
You have to come to montreal this year. Im craving a live john show.
the4 amazing thing about mayer is, theres heaps of guitarists out there that are much better then him technically like on youtube and stuff, but his guitar playing is so lyrical and his songwriting is what pushes him from the head space of being "just another blues player" he is amazing!!
Technically maybe, but the man has got one of the most lovely guitartones on this planet
Good god. And to think I can't even record electric guitar tracks properly because consumer sound cards can't handle that hot a signal across that many frequency ranges.
John man, that's an EPIC studio. It takes the meaning of home recording studio and makes it just a liiiitle different, don't you think? :)
that is a sweet setup! i can't wait till the new album comes out! do ppl still say album?? lol
ily!! =) you make me smile!!!
0:44 anyone know what guitar John is playing here? It looks like a Goldtop Les Paul. It is so rare to see John playing Les Pauls.
The Distance!! XD
aaahhh, that seriously made me laugh out loud.
does anyone know what monitor is the one with the white speaker at 1:21 ? I think it's a yamaha, but don't know which model.
I'm pretty sure that's a Fender Tonemaster head+cab. Soldano head (of sorts) on the floor next to the Two Rock.
Can someone help me figure out the chords/notes he s playing at 0:45 please
it's the crossroads riff
I love studio footage.
Cool John 10X FOR sharing
John with a Les Paul I see at 0:44?! Awesome riff and video btw.
man....this inspires me 2 work harder on my album coming up
Dunno what it is but it sounds awesome, I think it's just something new he made on the spot
some day I'm going to have talent and I too will be a world class musician able to build my own personal Musicians disneyland right in my own damn house.........course I also have a thing for tree forts, so I might put it all in a big ass oak tree, and then maybe tool the tree in such a way it becomes a musical instrument in and of itself as well.....I'm off to get some talent.

... *achem* Sorry, um... please? :D
when is Battle Studies coming out?!
I can hardly wait.
I am so in the mood for a rock record.
john has the coin to live the fantasies ive always had myself, color me jealous
stevie is the man........
my fave drummer of all time
nice sound around the 50 seconds... really kind of a not-so-now-john-mayer but it seemed like you caught other thing... cant explain! (you figured that out!)
is that a brown tremolux with a 15 inch speaker box? can anyone have a go at naming all the amps at 8 sec...
looking forward to the weekly updates!
is it gonna be another trio album? awesome
Who's house? Why?
Very cool Mayer is this going to be a more Rock & Blues album?
exactly. it takes away the element of surprise of the finished product. art needs time to breathe and needs not to be broken down!!!
does this mean we will be seeing more of the trio!? i sure hope so
What other artist does this? this is great!
what song is he playing at 0:46? that riff is awesome.
@jaimico777 I'm 99.99% its a song he was making for Battle Studies called "Rock Song". He mentioned it once via twitter. Too bad he hasn't released it. This, my friend, is all we have from that song.
Sweet studio. Think I come by sometime? Haha
this is fucking AWESOME . . . seeing behind the scenes his is some valuble shit!
@lewiswhiteroom Man, if there was one song to put in Battle Studies it was this one!!!! Where did it gooo?
Indeed! Where is he?
love the HD
i dont want to sound like i know everything, but albums take months to produce and refine, and i would guess this comes out like a month before christmas, or just after there, but hey, he could put it out much earlier.
that riffs sick
no one know what song its gonna be on yet
gonna be on the new record i hopee
I wonder if all this stuff is gonna go on the special edition cd?
