Great series! Very well produced and to the point content. Keep making these! 🎸
I can't believe you were able to uncover that majestic tone- let alone do it with such few pedals. 🙌
Great video helps one figure tunes in general and sounds spot on to john mayers tone!
Oh that is a good tone! Favorite crunchy sound. Love this series. Keep it going. My favorite tones are the Slow Dancing Intro (from WTLI dvd), Bold as Love Mayer’s album version and Tin Pan Alley. Bold as Love on the Continuum Album is just so chewy (As usual you have two tones - “rhythm” and the solo - think I like the “rhythm” tone best - like choosing between pizza and ice cream).
That is a lovely guitar. !! Pink is my favorite color.
One of my alltime favorite songs... Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Riviera Paradise -Srv
Hate to be that guy, but after the main riff, I think it’s an F#minor, not a F#major. But I may be wrong. Anyway, great playing and video ! Thank you !

First off, great video. I like how you’re taking it through the steps one by one rather than just listing the effects that you were using. But it would be great if you were showing where your knobs were set on the amp as well as the pedals.

It's actually 8th fret on the 6th string, 5th on the 4th string and back to 8 on the 6th string for the ending of the main riff the first time. Instead of the open 6th string in between, you can clearly hear the difference and see him do it live.

Hi, what's about some older stuff, easy, but hard to get the sound, like "Willin" by Little Feet?

Comments on the tab: I don't think the 5/6 slide to 6/7 sounds correct (in the start after the A). It sounds better with a slide from 5/4 to 6/5 (strings in order GD). I.e same G-string position but change the D-string.

@@dbo4506 You are right about that for sure. You got to get your own style and own touch. However I thought it was appropriate to give my opinion in this case. As the tutorial says -"how to nail the playing and the sound of your favourite songs". If the intention is to teach somebody how to nail a song, I don't think there's much room for improvisation for the teacher. The improvisiation is for the student in the next step. Start with the original and the improvise on that. But hey, there's no rules. But if I was about to learn some basic riff from AC/DC or something similar I'm pretty sure I don't want to learn some dudes own interpretation at first.

Okay. So first, this has way to much gain for that riff. Listen to the Try! album, it's almost clean. Second that riff was LITERALLY a TS808 and a Boss BD2 into a Blackface Fender.....so why would you recommend a different pedal and a differently voiced amp when all the ingredients are readily available??

Adrian Jordan yeah but you can’t say it was literally that tone because those Two Rocks definitely made up majority of it. And sure they are derived but they don’t really sound like a black face at all. Way too many dumble qualities to say they are simply a blackface clone. They go way beyond what a Blackface can do. Should I start calling my Two Rock “just a blackface fender”? No If you think that the tone is just a blackface fender you’re totally wrong. A blackface isn’t going to nail the tone either, but a 100W Two Rock will. So again, you can’t say its a blackface Fender tone. Cause it isn’t
IMO, this tone missed the mark
