You know what, i think it is. Like it. You then it didnt feel comfortable not to have it. Sleep in mine. Charlie let me remind everybody, gary clark jr. Live north america 2016. Charlie john mayer is here. He told oh sold more than 30 million record. He shared the stage with guitar loans like bb king and car santana and erik clapton. Returns with first album in four years. Search ford the everything welcome. John thank you very much. Charlie this is so good you had in stages. It john i believe in the songs so that i thought deserve to be seen without distraction from of entry soarrier many songs all at once or other in and sort of there being so many songs, songs that great. I felt like the boldest thing i can do is say i think i did it. Take a look these. Response to it has not only been positive for the work but positive for the format of way. Sing music that i was not alone. Im onehalf consumer and onehalf artist. Seeing some really great records from great artist apple. On my spotify or i go, 12, deep dive. Singles now. R the i wanted to put music out the way that i myself, would want to hear it. Charlie is it hard to get acceptance from album requests. Musicians say, what happened to albums is disgraceful . John i think ive been known an albumally now as artist. Think have trust with my audience about making records than maybe other artist have. A dinosaur in this time. Being a guy who makes records. I sort of broken up the concept of a record. Want to openly have a record. With this was was about making for people to its an easier point of entry. Atimately it ends up with record that has an arc. We think about sequencing. The power oft song. Izing one it may not matter now. I think it may matter a again. Want to do is future and when so that if people go back to albums you never looked frightened. Charlie the writing is ability. Beyond learned process. Did you have the same thing as a guitarist . Did you have some sense of music so you adapt to the guitar and turn to praise people like others . And john yes, my father was a piano player. This was that was my first music. Ction to a piano. Instrument. Rval it is a calculator. It is a keyboard. I go to show someone how music works. I wouldnt show them on a guitar. The very graphic its a graphical representation of good key of c. Guitar is transposable. The guitar has this geometry. Just a scale here, you move it up. A piano becomes relative to the sharps and flats. Cant put a cape on a piano. Do is use a can digital piano. Quickly. P you start to subdivide it. Calculator. I knew early enough what that was. All selflearned . John for the most part yeah. Selflearned sitting at a piano out. Orking it little bit of guitar lessons when i was a kid. Stoppedr teacher. Eaching me how to read music because i took off on this other thing. He would do 15 minutes of book stuff and 15 minutes of like teaching a song, hell you how to play the song. Songs. Ing blues the curriculum gathered quickly on this blues thing. Werent doing the book stuff. My parents said, i think they were on to it. Remembering credible correctly, they were like play this. Cant play that. Of e what kind john i was going to do that. Calling. My its still is. Wenti was 13 years old, i got it. I remember the first night i had a guitar. It was before i had lessons. Now tell parents who say what do i do. Guitar for two months. Them discover their take on things. Then fold in the actual theory. Do. s what i was able to i remember i found the most distant room for my parents. Play in the middle of the night. I immediately figured out chord. Will never forget i went, okay. That okay was so vertical, it went through everything in my went, this is what i am. Charlie i want to talk about things you went through. Was left of what did you learn from that . Is so part of the American Culture . A lot of people and lot moreheyre a accessible than fans. Lot more accessible than people like the barrier of entry. Now. It if its presented to you in the songs itsnce of phenomenal stuff. I seem to see this extort of love sort of fraternal love. Left for ifn you four years in montana, where were you going and what was the point . John its a bit of reductionist thing. Putting your fault for it in those words. Charlie you put it in the right words. John 2010, i go, im at the end of this idea. This pop star, flat iron hair, Leather Jacket thing. This isnt working. Dont have a dream. Charlie not working or you tired of it . Dreams past their third record. Youre a kid in high school, youre not dreaming about your record. Youre not quite sure how to say for this. Ve a plan youre not quite sure how to should take ay i break. He dropped in the top of the mountain. He knows what hes doing. What i would call now tidy fashion. An old idea. Of where to go. W charlie you didnt want to go where you were going . Didnt know where to go. I like organization. You can have organization on your first record. You can state your case and the can understand it. You start throwing other things it. Misrecipe of who misrepresentation who you are. Theou look at misrepresentation who you are as your job to sort out. Known that. You want to get engaged. Im a people pleaser. That one of the people on my way in here didnt like me, i would get up from now and start shouting who it was. Charlie one person who doesnt of them or like them. They can see 99 people who love them. They dont go this people. This they go to the one person. Okay. You want to make it theres no possible way we well. Theres nothing more dangerous than being a person who means well. Charlie help me understand. The time you took a break john i didnt take a break. 2010 i come off the road. I go i want to make a different record. Born and raised. Im living in new york city. Im left alone. I didnt move to montana until 2011. I made born and raised in new york. Montana. Achines vocal situation that prevented me from singing on tour. I wanted to make records. Do. s what i i love guys like stephen king can write a short one or big one. George clooney is who everybody be in theire to career. Make a big one and black and one. It gets flattened and reduce sod that people can charlie what is the picture that people have drawn thats not true . John for me . Thats a huge responsibility to about. St theres probably some stuff in there i dont deserve to say should be. Thats a really good question. I moved to montana and wrote song. F country thats not that far off. Bothers me. Thats always bothered me. Looked into all of the times where i sort of went me and my mouth kept. Oing and my brain wasnt there i been me my whole life. I watched me. You make these dissipations in decisions in life. Do you the right thing. You get the sense that theughout your life, you do right thing. Youre going to be known as a person who does the right thing. Nothing like the hollywood machine getting your information wrong. Information. F i would be much better off if i answers. Up. Less tnt wire when they get out, this idea of in. Nizer comes to say im bristling at it is under statement. Its a complete distortion who i am. Breeds this idea, if you got wrong, then im going to be as wrong as you i think am. Where that time from. If you say im this, im going this. Vert charlie youre influenced by you. People say about you decide i want to do a parody tosome way, i want to go some extreme what youre saying just to say john the intent is to make people go, hes not that. Hes playing off that. But thats asking a lot of peoples Attention Span to be able notice that and intelligence. Can give youple i im sure you heard this paparazzi onu have the way to restaurant, they say, of should stake a picture them. Why dont you go outside and take a picture of them. Idea whenbodys first they feel little bit captured by something. Is so fight back. Back isnt fighting intellectual. You cant contain me. Were talking hyper extending myself. Way beyond what should be taking place. Back tont to do is get where its clean. Heres who i am, heres what i do. I promise you im this and not that. I mean well. Torlie the reason they want becauserize you that john there was a period of time of moving ort explain. To its hear to explain im still impacting it. A situation where you did a lot of big names. Name. A lot of big i think people get the size of thename mixed up with number of people that been with. Charlie seem like youre out a lot of women. Long time to me a realize people do not Google Search me. Take a glance at you and away. The take theres not complete it. See he made born and raiseraised in paradise. They see the spikes. Because the music i was making entitle me to the kind of press that i was generating involved in. Charlie what about the music . Happening, ids up start going, im not that. A correction that needed to happen for me. There was a market correction. Sent me into a tailspin and hurt me, i never me, i wouldnt admit to it, the best thing i can do ouch. To say best thing smart person is to say ouch. Lead you to the truth. Truth will lead you charlie ouch is better than it hurts me . John its the same thing. Makes me feel bad. I wouldnt admit to it. Isticl become more military about it. Now i know. Wherever you yell the loudest is about to cry. They yelled the loudest and they take anything. Its second before they about to crumble. Was. S where i you cant get me. Charlie how long ago was that . John seven years ago. Charlie today past all of that stuff. It. past all of understanding that people are mayer completist. It might take a second to review a little bit. You may have to go it again with people. Expecting that not everybody is your mark. Charlie some of that in this album . John not really. Born and raised a lot. That was a wounded thing. Ofot a lot of music out going deep in myself. This was a different dive. Into being ae certain age and i think theres a loss in relationship. Theres always one relationship loss i feel like that takes you with it. Not just somebody youre not parting ways with somebody. Theres one kind of takes you down. Something. U lose john yes. This is this idea of being as canlutely beautiful as you be. Outwhoever sort of rock lets and journalist say its lighter, its bland. Be as beautiful as i can be about being sad. Thats kind of what this was. Back to the song called emoji of a wave. Feels like. This this is as an artist, musician, you dont normally get. You come close. You go well, well get them next time. 80 how that feels. Songs that i listen to, i go, i did it. Good enough a musician now how something00 felt. That is a possession as an valuable. s more charlie what artist can do, not only express how they felt but that all theso thats where the connection is. Like imple say i feel looking in mirror. I feel like you said something i at this exactugh time in my life. Charlie i you cop back. A great pleasure having you here. Stapleton, grammy Award Winning has been called countrys reigning outlaw.
