I have seen so many John Mayer’s live videos but rarely to see John use bar-chords instead open-chords or use his thump to press on the bass note he needs for each chords, amazing playing style along with amazing tone.🎸✨🎸

Thank you! Yeah that's right. He rarely used full bar chords. He would often play the triad chord and use his thumb to play the bass note. This is something he took from Jimi Hendrix's style which means he can embellish chords with melodic lines while keeping the core of the chord in place. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video. Really nice breakdown of his style, with all the basics up to the really intricate stuff.

Thank you Tom. glad you enjoyed. Mayer's style is quite hard to copy because he does a lot of little subtle things and his phrasing and feel are just incredible!

can you tell me which exact tokai model are you using?

@LeighFugeGuitar 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Saransh, It's a Tokai Goldstar Sound from 1983. I don't know if it has a specific model number. I think they just referred to the early 80s ones as Goldstar Sounds before they brought in the numbering for the models. It doesn't have a model number anywhere else on the guitar that I've noticed and all the others on eBay and resale sites are all just listed as Goldstar Sound too. Hope that helps

are prs guitars (except the silver skys) good for john mayer type of songs and tones?

@isaacjinn4721 4 жыл бұрын

Any strat will get you there regardless of brand. And most prs guitars like custom 22 are mostly associated with his dead and co performances but if you like prs you should get one but generally a strat will bring you a bit closer to a jm tone.

@@isaacjinn4721 I agree! A PRS will get you in the ball park (But it would need coil splits - the JM tone is very Single Coil based rather than humbucker). A lot of his tone also comes from the combination of the neck and middle single coils on together. So even if you have a guitar thats HSS, with a humbucker in the bridge and two singles, that will still work. The neck and middle single coils are the main tone you hear. It's a slightly hollow, out of phase tone. That coupled with an American voiced amp. Fenders, Dumbles etc.. The Blackstar Studio 10 6L6 i used in this video works great. Any 6L6 amp with lots of headroom and is super clean!

It really depends but you’re going to need a single coil for sure, it’s a critical part of the Mayer sound!
