I definitely feel like John Mayer is the kind of guitar player where even if you aren't really into his music (like me), you can definitely find one or two songs that really stick with you, especially if you're a guitar player.

i really dislike john mayers "music" he releases. its terrible (i think) but you are absolutely correct, as a guitarist i love him for his playing ability. the john mayer trio stuff i dont mind, but i would enjoy a album more where john focussed on playing guitar and someone else say

Y’all are trippin, his music is incredible. Lot of it is sad but the theory and meaning behind it is beyond what 99% of modern artists can accomplish. Definitely take a second look into his discography, cause I thought the same thing y’all did at one point

@@poorrich3601 i was a budding guitar player in 2001 when i heard no such thing i like the chord voicings before i knew about voicings then i started leaning his songs and learned about chords more....then i realized he could also play blues like SRV and i had already been an SRV fan since i was a little kid so it all clicked.
Everybody knows John Mayer’s most difficult and technically advanced song is “Your Body is a Wonderland” 😤🤟🏻

@@kaistroup6898 It’s notoriously screwed up ha. The timing of the second guitar is always bound to f*ck one guitarist up….each wants to lock in with each other.
The opening riff is right out of John's song "Who did you think I was." Great stuff.
I’d have to say the intro to Try! Is his best! So groovy, dirty, and just pure

I bought a custom made Modern Eagle V a year or so before PRS added it to the core lineup, and it is easily my favorite guitar I have ever owned. Insanely good tone when plugged in to any of my tube amps.
Guitar supersystem changed everything, would highly recommend!
The solo at the end is so beautiful 🥲

I can't agree more on that one ;), btw ignore the fake spam ;).
awesome analysis! absolutely love John's improv🎸
I love how you always pick at least one moment in each closing solo where you go face-meltingly crazy with it
This is so wonderfully presented.
Hearing the Modern Eagle V sounding that good just going direct is getting me quite excited since mine is on it's way (hopefully a month). Can't wait.
John's definitely become one of the greats. Great vid - great lesson. I have two US PRS, an SC594 core, and a Silver Sky, and I really want an MEV now. And a Studio 22 . . .
Maaannnn.... That Modern Eagle PRS is just KILLING it!!!!!! Love the vid.

The rest of the backing track was equally tasteful as that ending solo. Great job
Dude! I saw the announcement and knew you’d get one! I even guessed the color you chose
Great playing!
Nice, loved the intro
Zartimus made a great video analysis on it . Very accurate like always
I would certainly welcome an extended look at the Modern Eagle V after you've had it for a few months. Would be awesome if it was genuinely the only guitar you'll ever need (I could probably even sweet talk my wife into letting me buy it if that's the case).
Wonderful outro👏👏👏
You're an inspiration to me and my son
Very Sweet Guitar....along with your playing!
that's a lovely backing track. where would 'borrow' it for practice reasons ofc!
Great riff on a great guitar!
Wow! Sounds real good DI, but woahh at the end! 🤘
I was just listening to Where The Light Is and I have to say. The riff intro to Wait Until Tomorrow is so damn groovy
Nice lesson!
John Mayer is my favorite guitarist hands down

I second what @joeconnolly9336 said. Also, thank you for Guitar Super System!
That ending solo was the best I've heard since John's sob rock tour
You truly are one of the best guitarists
It would be a dream come true to own a modern eagle v. I feel very fortunate that I was able to be given a squier (decent quality) as a gift and that I was able to buy a used custom SE 24 Floyd. The modern eagle would be the only guitar I’d ever need, unfortunately I guess I’ll have to accept the fact that I’ll never be able to afford one 😅.
shout out Zartimus for tabbing this out and teaching this a few weeks back!
Man I thought the quilted charcoal on the announcement video yesterday was sick but this blue😳🤯😍
How about doing a long form video like an Album where you Jam to your favorite licks or improvised versions of songs. I could listen to you play like you did for the outro for hours. Great new Video, thanks.
Intro to “who did you think I was” from the trio is very similar. I’ve been saying this since the first time I heard it.
I'm from the Philippines, ang yeah I watch your videos. I can see my self as future you the way how you play is so good. It would be a dream come true If I could have a guitar that came from you sir.
yes this is one of the best thing's he has ever played in my opinion too! I long for John Mayer to become the funk god that he is.I saw this riff, and other funk riffs he played on his horizon red silver sky on another video, and i was like..."he is the funkiest ,catchiest person i've seen this side of any existing or past guitarist! please release an album that is all funk,no vocals even needed"
The 7th shape with 1, 7, 3 and the damped A string is Freddy Green’s standard shape. This is from the ‘40s. The chord sequence is the 1, the 4, then a 2/5/1 with the 2 being a dom 7th, the 5 being played as the flat 2 (a tritone sub) and the G is a passing the 1! Or yiu could think of it as a 9th variant of the 1. So it’s basically a jazz blues. Played with lots of cool clever riffs over it.
My dream giutar PRS♥️
Cool! Thanks! :)
Lovely guitar, great video Tyler, Paul's Guitar is me fave out of all PRS saw this Eagle5 on twitter, and thought it was a New Paul's?
It's definitely 100% inspired by SRV. In fact, I'm kinda sure I heard something very similar in a live recording. Awesome piece of music. Also digging the stuff at the end man, nice playing.

I don’t like those white pick up rings…😢 but the rest looks sick. Great playing as always!
the root third seven thing is very common in Bach chorales and classical 4 part chorales. I’m guessing that’s where the inspiration derived from.
Tyler are you going to release an album already? You are one of my favourite players - not just content creators, but players - and you seem able to come up with beautiful music effortlessly. I'd love to see your musical prowess in the form of a song and not a jam!
That riff is SOOOO good. If I wanna learn that it would take a thousand years HAHAHAHA

I was thinking 'toma' then you said it. On youtube toma always starts B flat 7, E flat, F. You already know this better than I do, I'm sure.
That sounds like something I'd play when I'm noodling around.

Makes me really wonder all the cool things John Mayer plays off instagram
The whole reason John had gotten the super eagle was he was chasing the Garcia tone
No where near the best thing John has ever played but its cool.
I wonder if Tyler could convert Rhett Shull over to the PRS family? He has nearly every model they offer.
As many of you probably know we lost Jeff Beck today. While he may be gone his art will live for generations.
Pretty sure the run of ‘diads’ you keep talking about is actually played as triads
Still wish there were a PRS SE version of modern eagle.

i injured my left thumb about a year ago and cant bend it all the way so rip to any john mayer song with a thumb over the neck for me
No Such Thing was my jam
So I hear Vaughn, Montgomery, and Garcia tones all rolled into one that ascending minor starting at the 5th sounds like a Jerry Garcia technique.
we need a vid on jeff plss
Nice $12,000 Guitar. Very Cool.
