John mayer berklee audition

Just applied to Berklee, however I have my doubts self. I am a current senior in high school and I applied to Berklee roughly 3 days ago I am auditioning with an acoustic electric, playing Neon by John Mayer the Nokia theater one. However, I just started learning guitar roughly a year ago and I am probably at a huge disadvantage in comparison to other people who will be applying with guitar as well. One thing I do have going for me kind of is that I predominantly produce music, in-fact the reason I want to go to Berklee is so that I can undergo the EPD Electronic Production and Design pathway and progress far as a producer. TL;DR, do I have a fair shot of getting in? I currently take music theory and I do well in the class, so I am not too worried about falling in that area. Just letting u know if ur gonna apply for that majors like that. Ur music sounds good tho so u might get in first try. But hopefully my production based skill and enthusiasm will get me places. Shoot me an email if you could please, I would love to keep in touch: namankluthra gmail.

After opening with his song "Clarity," Mayer told the audience that this was his first time leading a clinic, and that he had prepared a lot of material to share with the audience.

In turn, his cool-professor vibe helped give all the songwriters confidence to deliver their impressive songs, not even flinching when he suggested they sing it again with a new line or chord progression—sometimes even harmonizing with them on a second run-through. Mayer followed the epic workshop session with a performance of "You're Gonna Live Forever In Me" which was inspired by a bad note he struck while practicing the Grateful Dead tune "Friend of the Devil" as well as an unreleased original, giving the students and audience a chance to see the inner-workings of his own process.

Mayer went on to say that in his estimation, there is no single "discovery moment" that leads to an artist getting a record deal. He recalled that six years ago he had been playing in nightclubs with just a few people listening.

Little by little, he built an audience and doors opened. Mayer encouraged the students with their studies, telling them to "plug in any bit of static knowledge that anyone gives you as soon as possible. Then convert it to colors.

Hopefully what you are doing is taking information and developing taste and style. Throughout the two-hour clinic, Mayer displayed wit and a genuine desire to share what he has learned in his ascent to stardom. Introducing his song "Daughters," he said, "I wrote this song in my hotel room about a year and a half ago.

I missed all of my press appointments that day. When you have a song coming out, stay there. If you miss your class, I'll write you a pass.

It happens so rarely, don't move, just keep writing. I didn't leave until I was done with this one. Afterward, Mayer said, "I think phonetics mean more than lyrics ever will. It's all in how the words sound. I've heard some lyrics that were incredibly clever, descriptive, and moving, but they were set to music in such a way that it was hard for me to remember them and sing them back.

I like songs that feel really good rolling off the tongue. Almost all hit songs have lyrics that are great to sing. Opening up a discussion, Mayer took a number of questions from the audience.

He answered queries about overcoming writer's block. Another questioner asked what Mayer's biggest challenge has been. He spoke about reconciling his original intent with the final results in his music.

It has been my biggest challenge to realize that is me no matter how hard I try to bend it. Mayer was enjoying himself so much that he extended the clinic a half-hour. He took out his electric guitar for the songs "Come Back to Bed" and "Wheel. He performed a long fade-out with his volume pedal on "Come Back to Bed," leaving the crowd in a hush.

Mayer was realistic about success and discussed the arc of an artist's career. As he bid farewell, he said, "You know, I've been back to Boston about 12 times in my career, but this is the first time I've come back to Berklee. I feel really comfortable here.
