How To Play A CASIO PT-1 Keyboard With John Mayer Feat. A G-Shock
Ойын-сауық
The G-SHOCK Ref. 6900-PT1 By John Mayer features a dusty matte blue case and strap, a more playful color combination that’s an excellent companion to the first two collaborations. Peach, coral, and turquoise from the PT-1 keyboard were brought in to highlight the “Triple Graph” display, which sits right at home in the soft cream dial. Darker grey was pulled from the sharp and flat keys of the PT-1 keyboard and added to the illuminator button. All four indicators for the buttons share the navy color from the writing on the PT-1, a perfect accent on the lighter blue background. The G-Shock Ref. 6900-PT1 By John Mayer gives you both the toughness you expect from a G-SHOCK with a colorway that will make your inner creative child smile.

That is the most realistic sounding piano patch I’ve ever heard. Simply beautiful

I'm a huge fan of John's. Something about them not showing his face at all makes this really amusing to me. This is how you make an ad for a watch. I love vintage casio keyboards, I've got a couple, and knowing the inspiration for the watch was this keyboard makes me want the watch.

I never get tired of the way John delivered his words. He is so talented.
We need another full blown episode with John talking about watches. That’s what kept me most entertained and I know NOTHING about the world of watches.
This is wild. I had this EXACT Casio PT-1 in blue when I was a little kid in the 80’s. The image of it and more so the sound bring back so many memories. I never even knew how to play piano, and what you could do with this little toy of a keyboard was extremely limited. But I used to love just fiddling around with it. It was laying around somewhere in my bedroom growing up for years and years. No idea where it ended up. Likely sold for a few bucks at a garage sale. But who knows, it could still be up in my parents’ attic.
John Mayer Special Edition Washer/Dryer with jingles written and performed by John Mayer himself in baby blue is all I ever want for xmas.
Haven’t enjoyed much Hodinkee content lately but this was a breath of fresh air.

I got the Casio PT-1 keyboard for Christmas in Kindergarten. Mine was pastel pink with soft teal and coral accents and I would probably cry if there was a watch themed after it. I spent almost every waking hour trying to figure out (a very basic) Chariots of Fire by ear and was made to take piano lessons after I did. I instantly rebelled against practicing and reading music and never touched an instrument in front of my parents again. 😂 I can't play a lick, but I’d wear the heck out of that watch.
Talking watches with John Mayer 3 please!!
We need another talking watches with John.
i wonder when there will be a square DW5600 version of these, that would surely be the biggest hit of them all
I had that keyboard, got it for Christmas probably around 1984, I wish I took care of it and kept it around! The sound brings me back!
I didn't know I needed John Mayer making Pokemon music
What a lovely looking PT-1
I just learned that the beat from Fergie's song Tumblin is from a toy Casio piano

Wow... this man is breathing inspiration.
I had the predecessor to this Casio keyboard as kid back in the late 70s early 80s. I think it was the first electronic keyboard Casio ever made. It didn’t even have a piano like keyboard like this, just buttons arranged in a keyboard like formation. It’s claim to fame was that it was used by a German Industrial Rock artist/band on their one hit wonder song that climbed up the charts in the UK and Europe back in the (very!) early 80s. I remember watching the singer with said keyboard in hand performing on Top Of The Pops. I just wish I could remember the model number. I might still have it lying around somewhere, but haven’t used or even laid eyes on it in decades!

Wow, the fantasy music reminds me of some really old school videogames
honestly this is the coolest mini synth keyboard i've seen. Good keyboard review John.
I wanna buy both now
Nice one John mayer
I had a Casio keyboard when I was a kid. Brings back memories lol
His little song at the end reminded me so much about Pokémon
The beatbox setting = Clumsy by Fergie 3:05 😱
Man! The most smooth roasting i have ever knew!
I had one of those as a kid in the 1980s. My mother found it and gave it to my stepbrother (a musician) 2 yrs ago for Xmas. He was politely bewildered at the joke. If only this had come out first! 😂 I would have gotten him the matching watch! 🆒
Man this guy is so wholesome
found one of those keyboards at a garage sale for $2. Best purchase I ever made
PT1 sales just skyrocketed
ordered this today! very excited to get it! it's the nicest one imo! fits perfectly the playful character of the g shocks.
So much fun. Made me dig mine out from last year 😊
We had that keyboard when I was a kid! Love this
Iconic,ever entertaining John Mayer, lovely watch..
You got me trippin, ooh Tumblin, oooh Trippin, ooh Tumblin, ooooh 😂😂😂
This is absolutely the best one out of all the John Mayer collabs.
OMG. I used to have a g-shock that looked just like this when I was a kid but it was in yellow (it gave me a hell of a rash). Years later, I bought my first CD, Room for Squares. I learned to play like John Mayer learning through tabs (shout out to sympatico! If you know, you know.) I'm going to buy this just for the nostalgia it brings to my actual life. I love you John. Thank you for the last 20 years. Your music has impacted me more than I even know.

great, another john mayer single stuck in my head
such great items to have
This is such a perfect video ❤
I think they intentionally didn't show John's head just to make it about the Casio PT-1 and the watch itself.
Love this.
This is one of the most fun commercials I have seen in a while. And I work for Nikes most biggest productions 😂
I used to love those 2 big buttons at the top right corner. If you had a sloppy performance recorded...never fear...you could replay the steps using those 2 buttons! Maybe speed it up or leave a note late for that dramatic effect.
This was a really fun fun video! Love the emotion of John Mayer into watches, gadgets and memories. Love his storytelling. I am also very existed that I bought one. Couldn't buy the first 2 but will definitely have then 2nd hand.
great colour
Definitely that is awesome play with sound
And a sweater from the Swedish brand Fjällräven 🦊
This makes me wanna buy both watch and the keyboard
You got me Trippin (oh), stumblin (oh), fumblin (oh)
Got one already!
its the same blue hue as his pink jackson!! thats amazing
bro he made some stuff straight out of Gen 2 Pokemon GSC at the end that's crazy
I enjoyed this.
I can't believe I finished watching an ad for G-Shock from start to finish willingly and it didn't star Ryan Reynolds. I'm even tempted to buy the watch now. Shows how well designed this ad is...
Big pokemon game boy throwback.
Just ordered mine, can't wait to get it on my wrist!
The part about the C up top is spot on, I own one of these and it’s beyond frustrating trying to work with it sometimes. It feels impossible to get it to sound good most of the time
3:42 This deep cut is about to be a legendary trivia question someday.
Now I want one
John's one of those people who is genuinely liked for who he is by essentially everybody.

I know this is going to sound crazy but just before the release of this watch, when I saw the photo teaser of a Casio keyboard on Hodinkee a thought came to me. "Wow, this is awesome, John Mayer is collaborating with Casio and Hodinkee to come up with a new mini keyboard. I hope it has a few extra features that John would've liked to see when he was a kid." The watch actually looks great but I was sooo...disappointed!
Sounds exactly like the VL-1 (which was used for "Da Da Da" by Trio in the 80s). 😃
that Bb at 4:20 is so beautiful
That Royal Oak doe
That lick gives ghibli vibes
Thanks for the ear worm John!!!
Nice 😊

I have this same keyboard I love it very much mum left it out in the rain n still works (:

that tune he played would have fit so nicely in the old gen pokemon games.
