Don’t understand how he solos like this on acoustic

2019? hellz yeah

He really needs to release an acoustic solo album. Just him and a guitar. Or like a Bootlegs album of all these demos and unreleased songs, but at studio quality

2021... still great

Wow he sounds amazing. Always does on these acoustic versions.

Wonderful song. Always love the solos. John Mayer never cease to amaze me, What an excellent singer/writer and a very versatile guitarist both electric and acoustic. Thanks ybiawl83 for uploading this.

I came here thinking "this isn't really an acoustic song.." As usual, John proved me wrong.

This song reminds me of my grandma who passed away in 1998...her name was Lydia. It also reminds me of a verse in the Bible Matthew 5:14-15 because of the word city & the fact I hid I was a John Mayer fan for years...music greed. I have since repented. I ♥ this song... good music should be shared... and bought legally.

Amazing & Beautiful.. .way for this girls Sunday afternoon wake up ...right on 🎸💫Z

This is one of my favorite songs and his RFS album is amazing. play it in my car every day

I drank and got my heart broken and the next day I learnt this entire song from Scratch by ear with this video

Who's still listening in 2017?

Any one 2020?

whoa thanks for uploading this. city love is a great song already, didn't think it'd get better!

1:34 to 2:00 the way he sings is my favorite part. he is our era of a great song writer and guitarist I say not to bad to that.

@BlaKSoKsNPinKStripeS It's what we call "scratch tracks" it's just an acoustic version of the song that was probably used so John Alagia (producer of RFS) could get a feel for the song and prepare to record it. It's not an album.

I love John Mayer!

2021 baby

Looped, demo, live, taped...who cares??? Doesn't matter because it sounds excellent! Always wondered if an unplugged version of this existed, and now I know. Thanks a lot for posting this!

this was badass!!

@diegofernandin Right, he has an OMJM signature which is the best semi for plucking and doing whatever JM does with his guitar. Mraz uses a Taylor612ce. But he uses classicals more. :)

"And I knew I was through. When I said 'I love you'". Did he say those words, like the 2 guys in Extremee's song, "More than Words"? Or did he say it like, “Love is kind... It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking...it keeps no record of wrongs"?

Yeeeeeee

202222222

he looped it, i saw him looped in a video before.matt bellamy from muse looped live too. so its not impossible...i love this song none the less..

My favorite part is 1:37 to 1:54

2021

@diegofernandin Jason Mraz usually plays taylors with nylon strings

This is where the elusive Covered in Rain song originated

@diegofernandin At "Where the light is", he mostly plays on a Martin 45 i think... Awesome guitar

simply awesome...where do u get something like this?

amen ma brother!!

You would be right if this wasnt live. What i meant was live looping. The musician would record a certain chord movements (usually with an effect box that comes with this feature) and play it back when he needs that chord progression to add another layer of melody or whatever he/she wants to layer it with Usually used for bands that lacks another rhythm player. Either way, iam not saying u are wrong. =)

Thanks man!

2020

He uses the OM28-JM, not the OMJM, which is the budget version of the OM28-JM. He rarely uses the OMJM, but almost always uses the OM28-JM.

Mraz plays Taylors and Seagull (affordable Canadian brand).

@diegofernandin OM Martin Size Models. His Signature Martin is awesome!

did ever get one? if you're still wanting.. i tell everyone to get a seagull.. phenomenal guitars and not as expensive.

has to be two guitars during that solo. or he looped it. if he just did what I think he did this man is a God.

where did you get this'???

he plays the OMJM. its about $3300 new at guitar center. if youre new to playing you should be looking for a cheap guitar unless you have that type of money to blow.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

You sure this isn't Village Sessions?

Mraz plays Taylor guitars. He has 914ce, 314ce, and a bunch more...

hahaha what a genius.

he already is, coming from a mayer inspired attic player.

can someone tell me where to get this AMAZING

@ybiawl83 Haha, thanks man. That helps, sometimes my brain just gets too tired... He's really inspiring, thanks for all of JM stuff you've put up here. Eating it all up. *nom nom nom* lol.

2220?

Whats the tuning?

No. He usually plays the OM-28JM

@silvertoneDUDE I thought he was playing with an another guitarist.

Hey ybiawl83... I think you're right about liking this one. I WANNA BE THIS GOOD! I've gotta start busting my ass on the guitar.

2026 ❤

dude could u please send me this in high qual mp3?

haha you sent me a tab instead of da download o and wut was that song i playd it and i dont recongize it

This wasn't live. That was a loop.

Good point... but it still doesn't sound live.

John Mayer does not use loops this is a demo, not live, so it has to be a muti track recording, but that doesn't mean that you have to call people fucktards haha...

that's an overdub man

@diegofernandin He plays Martins but theres a ton of great acoustics out there. Personally, I'm a fan of Gibsons, and taylors are also awesome (jason mraz plays a taylor)

2023333

No he doesn't lol. It's 2 tracks.

2 guitarst, not solo and rhythm... hahaha
