@@jakobmorningstar Came here to say this. Quick story - I didn't pay ANY attention to John Mayer until a Family Video was playing that live DVD on their in-store TVs. Until then, I mistakenly thought he was just a heart throb corny pop singer etc - I didnt even know he was a guitarist of ANY kind until I was 'forced' into seeing that. This was surely right after that live DVD was released, so I got to enjoy 'Room for Squares' last days and be a DAY 1 Heavier Things album LOVER!!! :) Only seen him live once, bit it was outdoors, with my daughters, on vacation, at a venue in Ohio that has got to be one of the prettiest settings for a show (its like a state park kinda environment), kind of a midwest USA version of Red Rocks. Mayer's music has been with me for 20+ yrs now and it feels like just yesterday I was a 20yr old dude obsessed with his tunes.

He wrote this song, and some of the other songs on his debut album, with one of the guitar players from the Zac Brown Band. I think his name is Clay Cook. They were a duo really really on. Clay has a version of the song so that’s probably why John hasn’t done a version

Clay Cook is an incredible musician. Look up the video of him playing Blackbird and Maybe I'm Amazed in Eddie's Attic. He literally plays every single instrument for Maybe I'm a Amazed and uses loopers to put it all together to make the whole song and sings it as well and he does it ALL LIVE! It's insane!

@@jakobmorningstar Came here to say this. Quick story - I didn't pay ANY attention to John Mayer until a Family Video was playing that live DVD on their in-store TVs. Until then, I mistakenly thought he was just a heart throb corny pop singer etc - I didnt even know he was a guitarist of ANY kind until I was 'forced' into seeing that. This was surely right after that live DVD was released, so I got to enjoy 'Room for Squares' last days and be a DAY 1 Heavier Things album LOVER!!! :) Only seen him live once, bit it was outdoors, with my daughters, on vacation, at a venue in Ohio that has got to be one of the prettiest settings for a show (its like a state park kinda environment), kind of a midwest USA version of Red Rocks. Mayer's music has been with me for 20+ yrs now and it feels like just yesterday I was a 20yr old dude obsessed with his tunes.
Covered in the rain is so underrated. I’m glad people are starting to notice it.
I think as many have said, John Mayer truly is one of the last guitar heroes with a huge pop following. He is a really fluent and inspirational guitarist for modern players I'd say. Appreciate this one!

Love the SRV tribute he does at the start of the live version of this song, definitely one of my favorites by John Mayer
A couple of John Mayer songs that I feel like are sleepers are Come Back To Bed and Friends Lovers or Nothing. Both of them have really cool changes in them. Something Like Olivia is another song that's really simple but he enters Clapton's tonal territory but with incredible groove.
This is one of my favourite songs and it makes me so happy to see someone give it the recognition it deserves

He wrote this song, and some of the other songs on his debut album, with one of the guitar players from the Zac Brown Band. I think his name is Clay Cook. They were a duo really really on. Clay has a version of the song so that’s probably why John hasn’t done a version

Clay Cook is an incredible musician. Look up the video of him playing Blackbird and Maybe I'm Amazed in Eddie's Attic. He literally plays every single instrument for Maybe I'm a Amazed and uses loopers to put it all together to make the whole song and sings it as well and he does it ALL LIVE! It's insane!

This song was my everything near twenty years ago when I was seeing a girl whom was in a bad relationship and I was her man on the side. It was an intense, deeply romantic relationship that despite our bond was destined to fail and this song has been my reminder ever since and never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Let’s gooo Every time I see him come up i know I’m up for a treat
I agree..I’ve been playing/enjoying this song since the first time I heard it on “Any Given Thursday”. I heard it was one of the first songs he ever wrote. I don’t know if that’s true though. I would love to have a high quality recording of him playing it. Thanks for making a video on it. Love your channel.
One of the first songs I've learned by JM, criminally underrated!!!
Dude. Man on the side is awesome. I heard it for the first time when the live in birmingham DVD came out
The song is on the live album "Any Given Thursday" as a combination "Lenny/Man on the Side".
Shoutout to Clay Cook for the co write on this one. He also recorded it. Different from Mayer’s version tho.

Don’t forget John was roommates with Matt Mangano (the bassist of Zac Brown) at Berklee. Clay lived across the hall from them in the dorms. Matt recorded a bunch of their early tunes (like Victoria) in their dorm room before John and Clay dropped out and formed the lo-Fi masters.
As a guitarist playin originals for bk trailers who's always been inspired by the John Mayer Trio, I liked your playing here since your tone is so clear and keep those melodic lines very pretty and steady. Nice accents that keep the ear captivated. Inspring!
Finallyyy somebody is talking about this song. I not too long ago found out about it and i noticed nobody was really doing any thing about it. I've heard that john made this song during his first year at Berkeley...pretty cool, thanks alot Tyler🔥🔥
I listened to this on repeat about a year ago when I was going through a very relatable time. Masterpiece of a song
There's a demo version he recorded for Lo-fi Masters with Clay Cook, its on youtube. And Clay Cook actually did a proper studio recording of the song which is on Spotify as well.

The most Claptonesque I've heard him sound was on Something Like Olivia. That sounded like a song that could have been on Reptile with the tone he got. Really simple song but with a phenomenal groove.
John wrote this with Clay Cook a long time ago... love it!! Everything they wrote together is just so good
This song and Covered in Rain from his early live album completely changed my impression of and respect for JM. I was so ignorant of his skill and work, having only heard the pop radio hits, before then. Man, was I dumb!
OMG. I LOVE THIS SONG. This has always been my fave john mayer song - beautiful melody and words, lovely guitar. So glad to see this vid because I’ve never talked to anyone who actually knows this song

Been loving this song for a while, the acoustic intro is gorgeous highly recommend
Covered in rain is definitely my favorite underappreciated JM tune
I love that he’s using the John Mayer signature for this.
John actually has a recorded version of this song in an album he released with Clay Cook, it’s really underground tho
I love your John Mayer videos. He’s my favorite musician of all time and I love to see you recreate and express what he does
Any given Thursday FTW. Covered in rain solo is outrageous on that.
I was so happy you did this video, this has been my favorite JM tune for quite a few years and I never really heard anyone talk about it. So thank you!

I found a CD in a charity shop that had his live performance of SRV's Lenny that transitioned into Man on the side. I had to learn it. To this day, it's still my favourite song to do a slow jam to with my drummer mate. Good stuff Tyler.
Learning this has opened my eyes, I really appreciate it. I used to never go up the fretboard, but now I see all of my options in where I can play chords. You da best
Man on the side and Lenny. I love this..
It’s a song he wrote with clay cook of the Zac brown band. It’s on of his solo albums.
One of my favorites.
Awesome job with this lesson, glad it popped up on my feed!
Covered in rain is awesome but as a die hard mayer fan, seeing you do man on the side is awesome
Every time I hear this song, I have to listen to message in a bottle too. Loved Any Given Thursday.
Jm's rendition of lenny/ man on the side will always be one of my favorite songs.
Man on the side. The best mixup with SRV
I would definitely agree that this one is very under appreciated! I have been obsessed with this song ever since I first heard it a couple of years ago! 🤗🎸
I USED TO PLAY THAT SONG IN HIGH SCHOOL! I gave me so many points in the "cool" department. I need to pick up my acoustic and figure out how to play that again.

"Man on the Side" definitely goes in the "Underrated Mayer Songs" category. It's up there with Covered in Rain and Something's Missing.
I have the studio recording of it, it exists. It's also also associated to Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughn cause he usually gets into this song from licks from Lenny when played live
Man On The Side. Great song.
YOU KIDDING ME , HARDCORE MAYER FANS LOVE THIS SONG
I always listen to this after I listen to covered in rain!
"Epilogue" - Martin O'Donnell features John Mayer!! Now that's a deep cut! Check it out 😎
Dude Man on the Side is a BANGER!
5:03 I see this as an (inverted) Esusmaj7 (E=root, B=5th, A=4th, Eb= maj7th) because it leads to Esus (E=root, A=4th, B=5th) which resolves to E (E=Root, Ab=Maj3rd, B=5th). But that's just my theoretical interpretation. Either way great video.
This is incredible. You are such a great teacher! Somehow you made it accessible even to this Padawan learner. Thank you. 🙏🏽🎸🎵😊
