    This is a performance cover to accompany my guitar lesson on this song which can be found here: • John Mayer - City Love...
    This is the live version of City Love from the "Any Given Thursday" live performance. I liked Mayer's solo better in this one. The backing track is from this video • City Love - John Mayer... which I have modified to have extra bars in the live solo section.
    The guitar I used is a custom Warmoth quilted maple body and bird's eye maple neck that I constructed in 2001. It has Seymour Duncan Nashville 5-2 pickups with on/off toggle switches (both are on for this performance) the neck is an SRV model compound radius neck and it recently had a brass nut installed by fellow UA-camr Woodeso, a video of which you can see here: • Installing A Brass Gui... .
    It positively sings now.. Thanks Woodeso!
    I am running a Line6 POD HD Pro X and the effects are a Blue Comp into a stereo delay (maybe a bit too much delay in the mix) into a dimension chorus using only SW1 and 2-4 turned off and a 100ms room reverb. Amp model is the Roland JC-120 (an Amp I own in real life, they are wonderful. The Amp Model is called Jazz Rivet) into a virtual 67 Condenser mic.

    oh damn I didn't realize until now that the chords he uses in the bridge are the intro chords to covered in rain, I knew covered in rain was a part 2 to city love but damn, these two songs have to be the most well written, well thought out John Mayer songs.

      People laugh when I say he's the modern Hendrix, everything he does has meaning and isn't just done to "pay the bills"!

  • @jakejudy5455

    Been following and learning a ton from your videos. love the cover of this classic bluesy pop tune! You sing jm well with similar vocal techniques but with your own voice. I tried to sound exactly like mayer but have learned to focus more on developing my own voice.

    • @Zartimus
      @Zartimus  7 років тому +1

      I tried to do the same at first, but for his voice, you sometimes have to sing like you're trying to fog up a mirror. We're not born with his unique vocal chords. I find his falsetto hard to replicate because his voice is pitched lower than mine so I started to do his falsetto in full and that works out for me(Mayer's falsetto seems effortless for him).. Definitely try doing your own thing, you won't go wrong doing that.

    Are you going to put out some new tutorials soon. I think there's still a lot of great performances from wtl is, that would be great to have. For example slow dancing in a burning room or good love is on the way. Also I think you should check out the performance of edge of desire live at the Hollywood bowl. That's one I'd really like to learn, but there just isn't any good tutorials on it, anyway thank you for all your great work on all the other tutorials!

    No one has yet to replicate the perfect tone to this version yet. You came close, but there's just something off about it. Then again, I wouldn't expect any of us to have over $10,000 worth of pedals and effects

    • @Zartimus
      @Zartimus  7 років тому

      Check out the first few minutes of the tutorial. It sounded nice in the room. I think it's the brass nut and prevalence of open strings;-) and the DELAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @Zartimus
      @Zartimus  7 років тому

      Probably heart of Life or "I don't Trust Myself with loving you" WTI version. OR Neon "On his own", I listened to that one again recently. Lifelines is on the to do list.

    • @rafaelmolinasanz9771
      @rafaelmolinasanz9771 7 років тому

      Zartimus As always, thanks for answering! Any of those songs would be perfect. With Neon "On his own" version, you could just tab and teach the intro and chorus, due to your past Neon tutorial. Keeping the Mayer Army up until next album comes!

    Are the chords you use here the exact same chords that John uses in the demo version of the song? Awesome cover by the way

    • @Zartimus
      @Zartimus  7 років тому

      I'm not familiar with the demo. The chords are what he plays live in the "Any Given Thursday" performance. I look at them in waveforms and I eyeball the fret positions. It will disagree with many TABS out there because I think they are wrong ;-)

    • @4310267205113

      OLD guitar. I built that in 2001 from parts from Warmoth.com. Just had a brass nut put on it so it became the shiney new toy again. If you watch teh last 5 minutes of the Tutorial I show it under construction way back when.. It's pretty neat guitar..

    This great, technique is great¡ but the guitar should sound a little louder than the voice, and less agressive. John Mayer follow SRV techniques where he pkays the guitar a lot and doesnt sing thar much. Sorry for my english.
