Shit I've been here for about 9 years! Funny to look back and realize all the different "me" listening to this over that time. Some things never change.
his skills on the electric guitar are pretty well known but he's an absolute animal on the acoustic. the rhythm, funk and complexity of it all is incredible
winslow wong The groove he creates on the acoustic version of 'Something Like Olivia" is stupid. Not easy to get people to bob their heads with just an acoustic guitar.
How his vocals are overlooked! I'm a blues jazz singer and it cannot go unmentioned how adept his vocal skill is!! This cut makes me want to quit singing lol skat skatting is SICK
John Mayer's initial "phase" makes me feel very nostalgic, yet I started listening to him in 2015. What an amazing musician, surely one of my favorites of all time.
I wish was there to grab the mic before the performance and say “Ladies and gentlemen, this guy will one day be the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation and this will be the only recording of this song, please be quiet so we can hear it clearly in 2021”
John Mayer's catalogue is enormous including unreleaseds. He always has a rabbit up his sleeve to tickle our fancy. He's so master artist class. I love it. I love him
when you have made it this far to comment on this one particular song there is a reason your here your searching through one of the most talented singer/songwriters of all time, who can adapt/evolve into any genre of music (only ones that require talent ) his talents are one of a kind
Normal people write this song: "woahhh I can't believe just wrote this!! Get this recorded and sent out to all the labels right now!!!!" JM writes it: "Meh"
Felipe di Oliveira no it's not. I'm mad I just discovered this today. If someone said, ",swear on your life, you've heard ALL Mayer music", I'd say, "take my life, I have". I've been duped.
@@ArtesExatas idk man, paradise valley and born and raised are pretty amazing, this definitely is as well, has a different flavour but music for artists is a reflection of themselves, let's just say he's not this song anymore
How funny it sounds like he’s playing at bar or something by the conversations in the background. Before he was famous only a few people looked. What a strange interesting time that was captured here.
I believe this recording is from a concert that I was at around 2003 maybe. It was in New York at a place called the knitting factory and I think it was an invite for fan members only. place only held couple on people.
I heard this maybe 10 years ago, still love it like it was today. John makes some damn good music. Met him back stage in Charlotte, was super cool. Thank you John
I really dig this period of his music. The guitar work is complex and has a jazzy feel to it. Also he sounds confident and hopeful. His bluesy phase is great too (like that on Continuum). I wish he'd do another album in these styles. Cool picture by the way - the New Yorker building in the background captures some of NYC's art deco goodness.
KBblues,greens yeah these times, he had a lot to prove to people. Its funny because some of his pop songs are probably some of his most complex songs technically. He's just too talented
If he would just do stripped down versions of his music that would be awesome. For example when he released born and raised, it was ok but over produced and not something I can personally listen to. He releases those vevo videos of him doing the same songs on the acoustic and its unbelievable, like some of the greatest stuff ever imo. I have always wondered how he feels about it. Does that overproduced sound really help with sales? I was lucky enough to see him on the room for squares tour and when he toured with the trio following heavier things. Those shows were great! He is still the best songwriter who ever lived, please give the people what they want John lol.
KBblues,greens keep in mind he was fresh out of Berkeley and a mentorship from Tomo is very jazzy. I personally think he’s done much better by dropping some his jazz influences.
This is the thing that amazes me about him. Not only is he a GREAT songwriter, but his guitar playing is almost always filled with loads of interesting little things that elevate it to a completely different level. To me, this is muscianship of the highest caliber.
He was heavily influenced by Charlie Hunter who plays an 8 string guitar and plays rhythm guitar, bass guitar while playing the guitar solo all at the same time. The guy is amazing! You can definitely hear his influence in this song. Nice upload! Thanks.
John Mayer = EPIC!!! He is my hero. Without him and his music I don't know where I would be in my life. He gets me through lifes tragedies and turmoil. Thank you love!!!!

Why he does´not released this in an album? These lyrics are great ! This is amazing!! He could released an great album full of songs he did not released yet.
Look up John Mayer's next potential album after The Search for Everything which may be called "Zero" which releases a few unreleased songs he performed live. This one seems popular that it could make an appearance on it :)
God I remember the entire crowd singing the whole song with him, word for word, at nick's fat city in pittsburgh, 2001. An entire crowd knew the words to a song that was never recorded. The song writing displayed here and at Eddie's Attic makes anything he put out after Room for Squares sound like a different artist... a much worse songwriter. I like this John Mayer. I hope that he, in time will come around like he said he'd always do.
fully agree... John front-loaded his best work to establish himself as a star (and who can blame any artist for doing that?). The 2003 follow-up album was strong, but ever since then, John has only done a great song here and there amid the gobs of stunningly bland stuff that he apparently records to satisfy his fat contract... i just hope the dude is happy, because he's earned the right to it.
He actually states in an interview that "if you wanna make it you better be damn sure play your best music on your demo and debut album and if you don't you may never make it." A very smart strategy, almost seems comical not to, haha!
Well in a sense he has continually toned down his own personality in his lyrics to make them more accessible and ultimately sell-able. The lyrics on this song are extremely personal and it's unlikely that the listener would see themselves in the lyrics the first time round the song plays. What works for room for squares is that the lyrics are simple enough (even if they're well woven) that the listener can connect with them and have the illusion that John is literally speaking to them. And over the years he has toned his lyrical "quirks" even more... to the point that songs like "new light" and "carry me away" are literally mirroring the lyrical elementary-ness of other contemporary pop acts. He is tryna fit in, but it just hides how good a songwriter he is (or atleast was at some point)
Because 'No Such Thing' also starts with a major7 chord played in the same shape. This one starts on an F as opposed to an E, only a half step apart. In less musical jargon- by removing this from his catalog, it makes/made 'No Such Thing' stand out more by not using elements present in other songs in the catalog. The slappy thumb lines are also reserved for the live versions of Neon.
Matt Orlando he also utilizes the Emaj7 in St Patrick's Day. There are many ways to play the chord around the fretboard. I think he just likes the chord. It could just be that he didn't like the song enough or didn't think it would sell. May not have anything to do with the similar sounds. Who Says and Stop This Train sound similar and he released both. Just a thought
the emaj7 is a great chord. i learned to love it from jm songs and now it always seems to creep into my own songwriting. esp the open version he uses in st patricks day.

Man I have nothing against Mayer' new music but I prefer this side of him, it's rawer in my opinion. Personally I love his acoustic stuff and his Trio work.
because that is what makes them GEMS for the die hard fans. :) like a special little gift, a best kept secret, but i know what you mean. it'd be nice to have a clear version of this song to turn up good and loud on the stereo.
I just cannot get the same sound as this song,I tried learning it by ear, and reading up on the only tab available for this song, and I just can't get it right. I know it's HIS song,but still! It's a great song and I want to play the way he does.
MisterJatip It's all in the right hand man. Just a tip, but try using all four of your fingers as one, and your thumb independently. Keep at it. Don't try to do a lot of stuff. Play enough you'll get the groove. It sounds complex, but it's just a matter of playing until you get the groove.
And to be easier to find them all. Die hard or not, he has a huge amount of unreleased songs, and it's just easier if they're all collected. I've found a few on reddit, but still...
Here’s to hoping John finds another jazzy acoustic phase in future.
It’s gotta still be in him right?
@@giothemath Sure. Dude's just holding back.
@@giothemath we all hope
Here's to a growing musician
Congratulations to everyone who's made it here, now you're a true JM fan
sick
Glad to be here! Ive finally arrived!
Shit I've been here for about 9 years! Funny to look back and realize all the different "me" listening to this over that time. Some things never change.
Always brother
Just now sir 🙋
his skills on the electric guitar are pretty well known but he's an absolute animal on the acoustic. the rhythm, funk and complexity of it all is incredible
yesss!
winslow wong The groove he creates on the acoustic version of 'Something Like Olivia" is stupid. Not easy to get people to bob their heads with just an acoustic guitar.
He's honestly one of the all-time greats
How his vocals are overlooked! I'm a blues jazz singer and it cannot go unmentioned how adept his vocal skill is!! This cut makes me want to quit singing lol skat skatting is SICK
That's definitely how I fell in love with his music! Those acoustic numbers on Any Given Tuesday got me :)
John Mayer's initial "phase" makes me feel very nostalgic, yet I started listening to him in 2015.
What an amazing musician, surely one of my favorites of all time.
Same here!
Yes nostalgic. It make you feel like you are living in the early 2000s again somehow.
Discovering hidden gems like this is one of my favorite things about life
Imagine that people are probably in just a bar listening too this for the price of their drinks.
Simon Frisén who are the idiots talking while this is happening?!?!
@@lilbrusselsprout8261 the sound of talking makes this song better in my opinion
@@bluesyace9564 guess that's why he put talking in 'Waiting On The World To Change' :-D
And here I am, 2021 and listening to all of his unreleased songs like a crazy fanboy.
i thought i was the only one man
if you're still looking for unreleased stuff type in "John Mayer Tapes unreleased 1" the photo is just a cassete
@@lexilu8492 you're not alone either!!!
Go watch Covered in Rain, Any Given Thursday! Absolutely amazing!
Don’t worry bro. 2022 and I’m still doing this. The John Mayer train is bonkers.
I wish was there to grab the mic before the performance and say “Ladies and gentlemen, this guy will one day be the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation and this will be the only recording of this song, please be quiet so we can hear it clearly in 2021”
Haha true. Then again there's something so perfect about the imperfections of this recording
Greetings from 2025, person of the past!
The music and the New York image just fits perfectly right at the start, I don't know why but it just does.
And also right at the end with that kinda jam bit - it's just so blue note, chill jazz. Loving it.
Hao Le NYC is synonymous with jazz. You're right.

I wish he still did music like this.
would be so cool if he went back to his slap jazzy roots into a newer album mixed with his newer style
The Search For Everything is a little closer to this style, but I sure do feel you on that one man.
Jacob Windsor guys, the newer songs aren't good as this one ;-;
@@ArtesExatas idk man, paradise valley and born and raised are pretty amazing, this definitely is as well, has a different flavour but music for artists is a reflection of themselves, let's just say he's not this song anymore
@@Arrezinal yes the current new 80's revival is boring as F .!!!
Wish he'd put this out randomly on his next studio album.

I believe this recording is from a concert that I was at around 2003 maybe. It was in New York at a place called the knitting factory and I think it was an invite for fan members only. place only held couple on people.
This is likely Eddie’s attic in Decatur, GA but they have a strict crowd noise rule so possibly not. I would say somewhere near Atlanta though
I heard this maybe 10 years ago, still love it like it was today. John makes some damn good music. Met him back stage in Charlotte, was super cool. Thank you John

And here we go again. Another funky acoustic guitar jazz chord driven song. Never heard it but already like it.
You know other songs like this?

Top 10 Mayer songs right here
If i was in a bar and John Mayer was playing i would buy him the whole fucking bar !
he should've made this an actual studio song
I like this song more then the whole battle studies album. I miss those jazzy/blues/pop songs of his old albums!!
This song is like ten years old at least. It was most likely recorded in Atlanta.Back then he wasn't famous- hence the talking.
if i got the chance to listen him live ....i m sure....it will his music not oxygen...which will help me to breathe....lots of love JM :)
0 people dont know what the good music is
beautiful song
Real music.
The nostalgia 🥰
Still listen today in 2023!
He gave a new meaning to the word WOW!
this song is just incredibly good. i want to hear it in better quality..pls john record it!!
Staring at the pictures of the album we forgot about
sooo fucking good! He's never written a bad song in his life.
Why the gum-balls was this not released. This is fire
The warble in his voice... yeah he was in his twenties.
I had a warble like that. Wondering how i can bring it back.
if I was john mayer, I'ld have my own bar by now
I love you John mayer
Has a John West sort of feel to it. Diggin it!
Man I have nothing against Mayer' new music but I prefer this side of him, it's rawer in my opinion. Personally I love his acoustic stuff and his Trio work.
because that is what makes them GEMS for the die hard fans. :) like a special little gift, a best kept secret, but i know what you mean. it'd be nice to have a clear version of this song to turn up good and loud on the stereo.
3:35 reminds me of the solo before Neon from Where the light is.
loveeee Mr Mayer!
Awesome tune!!!
Holy FAAACK what can't he do?!!! Straight Jazz AND. AAAND skat. I'm going to throw up, pls excuse me, folks I'm done
sooo jazzy! hes straight bad ass.
I just cannot get the same sound as this song,I tried learning it by ear, and reading up on the only tab available for this song, and I just can't get it right. I know it's HIS song,but still! It's a great song and I want to play the way he does.
MisterJatip It's all in the right hand man. Just a tip, but try using all four of your fingers as one, and your thumb independently. Keep at it. Don't try to do a lot of stuff. Play enough you'll get the groove. It sounds complex, but it's just a matter of playing until you get the groove.
I found some really good tabs that helped me play this SPOT on. If you want, I could send them to you?
please do !
Zartimus did a good tutorial.
paizão ainda fez referência à Sina no final. brabo.
Perfect! 2018
this sounds and reminds me of his room for sqaures style of playing.
Amazing song !
He wrote this good back then!? O.o Wish he'd bring out stuff like this these days
is he using a pick for this performance? I can hear it or its just me
mayer just added damn good lyrics
No one confessed how good that was there i guess
You know you're John Mayer when you have no dislikes on a video
The background chatter adds a jazzy vibe to this song. Honestly it would be weird without it
he's coming to london in october! I'm at his show :D
Someone must know when this has been recorded?! I hear the number over and over again on my ipod while biking on the way to the gym.
I hope this goes on his next album o_O
Yeah
LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Why won't he RELEASE all his "unreleased"?!?! Seriously drives me insane!!
Love!!!!!
It is from Eddies attic in 99
sounds he was listening to a lot of stevie wonder when he wrote this. so many moments that remind me of him
Genius
And why hasn't this been released ?
Wnkw eternity in my new 🌎 together forever. I LOVE u. My joy 🌹God💋
Definitely Lifelines
And to be easier to find them all. Die hard or not, he has a huge amount of unreleased songs, and it's just easier if they're all collected. I've found a few on reddit, but still...
Eyyyy teases of Neon licks in this
