This might be my favorite era of JM... by this point, he had truly become a master of the guitar... he found the perfect blend of BB, Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie, etc. while still keeping his own style. You want a reggae vibe, JM has got you... you want a blues vibe, JM will do it... you want a R&B/Jazz fusion, yup, he's got that too. Wait, does the record label want bubble gum acoustic pop? Yup, JM crushed that as well.
To me, this is just the true definition of virtuosic guitar playing. Shredding is impressive, but almost anyone can do that with enough practice. This, on the other hand, is having the *skill* to shred, but knowing how to hold back and only play what you *need* to play. Musicianship, particularly the blues, is as much about the space between notes as it is the notes themselves. John Mayer also uses more than one technique in every performance -- slapping, harmonics, finger picking, etc. to add even more depth and personality to his playing. It is a sight to behold....pure talent.
Amy mjik hahaha just because you find him handsome dosent mean it makes him the best guitar player :P joe satriani steve vai john petruci and alote more are just as good or better deppending on the style they play
Amy mjik Where does that put Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Dickey Betts, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Elmore James and the rest of them?
I have a theory that Steve Jordan was supposed to cut out with Pino at 3:20 when John waved them off, but either he forgot to or decided not to. The result was spectacular and my favorite part of this! The bass drum triplet, snare crack and hi hat sizzle and the way it fits with what John is doing and perfectly leads back into the groove. So good! And you can see John crack a little smile right after it at 3:27. I’ve been coming back to watch this video for years, lol.
@@nicbordeauxpeople with no musical ear are the ones screaming and dancing over the performance in my experience. I feel ten times more appreciated when people actually listen to me and applaud after a solo or Song when i play live. It shows respect and and being actively engaged instead of the ones who are just dancing. At least the bluesy and jazzy stuff…
If all I'd ever know about John Mayer was his pop songs, I'd have completely ignored him... But he's prove himself to be top shelf in blues guitar and that just blows me away... You can't keep the company he keeps with the legends of blues and not be the real deal...
"That bass player" is Pino Palladino, one of the best bass players ever graced the earth ground. He's was leading in the music industry by the time John's first tooth fell off.
Pino is my favourite Bass player, he's played with a lot of the greats, Paul Young, the who and many many more, one of the most sort after Bassists around.
i personally believe mr.john mayer is one of the best guitarists of recent day.very hendrix based.yet innovative and when live very good at improvising
prctice everything at quarter the time to a metronome even if you can play it and sing it separately at full speed. That way you cant bullshit your way out of learning where each note and each syllable is within the harmonic and rhytmic framework.
For a blues artist singing and playing guitar is too mainstream. Many people say he's influenced by greats like bb king, clapton, henrix but i think he is gary b b coleman reborn.
I was eighty last week. In all my years I reckon I’ve listened to just about every sort of music. But . . . So what! I have never, ever been more moved by a piece of music. The combination of the all time great BB and the stunning Gary Moore will never be surpassed. It was a miracle how they made those two bits of wood literally talk to each other. No more words, I’ll just play it again Sam!
i love how he builds up all the stress in the solo and how he releases it at 2:36. John Mayer tells a story on his instrument and its so beautiful to hear/watch.
This guy has to be the most soulful and creative guitar player ever. Man, he just lets the sound creep from the depths of his soul into his guitar (and it clearly takes a stop by his face). And don't none of you comment sharks say anything, that man gives me chills with every note he plays and thats all the evidence I need to say that he is one of the best that ever played.
DeanGoulding Haha man, if you only knew the amount of time I have spent listening to, and trying to learn songs from Stevie ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix and the like. They are all legends and you can't really compare them to each other because they are all so good in their own ways. John is just one of my favorites, I like his style.
DeanGoulding BB King is so over rated! He has limited playing skills and always has. Albert King played circles around him. He only had one hit..kinda with the thrill is gone and he didnt even write it! Name a song he has written we all know! Cant because there are none! SRV..thats a different story.
Leave BB alone; he's a legend. He didn't just have one hit... If he's not a legend, then why does practically EVERYONE who knows music consider him to be a legend? He, along with Albert King etc, brought blues into the mainstream and he influenced countless guitarists. If Albert King or SRV heard you say that about him they'd tear you a new one.
Not exaggerating: I have been listening to this song EVERYDAY since I first discovered it 6 years ago. Maybe because around that time I finally realised that I've lost my chance with her for good. Thousands of kilometers away and she even probably doesn't remember me. This is the sweet and sour reminder of my dream of her, which will remain as my dream till I finally give my last breath....
Too bad most people only see john as a pop artist he's a super fusion of all the blues greats..if only the radio played good music then people like him wouldn't have to sell out
It gets tiring telling people, he's more rock/ blue's, they're the ones missing out, Eric Clapton said he was a genius on the guitar, that's enough for me.
He is not sold out. He simply gives what his label wants, he needs to earn money anyway, and his album are all amazing. He is now playing on smaller venues to be able to play what he wants to play, with trio. When he needs money, just go go big stages. Simple. If i were him, i would've done the same thing.
This #JohnMayerTrio performance is great! John's 🎸 solo at 1:24 reminded me of #BBKing so much I teared up. ♥ John performed with B.B. and told him he listened to recordings of B.B. before each trio show to get his head into the blues space. There's no greater tribute to a blues legend than to continue his legacy. Keep on playing, John!
To play with a legend such as BB is a blessing, and im sure john is not the only one who felt that blessing as did Eric for quite a few sessions.... But noone will ever be able to recreate that magical touch of BB's fingers making 'lucille's unmistakable tremolo ball!
People say Mayer is a pop guitarist but this easily solidifies him as a rockstar in my book, seeing him play with Clapton and BB King too.. how many people do they let jam with them? Far and few. Incredible!
He did it the smart way. Even though he's a ridiculously talented guitar player, he made some crappy pop music to pay his bills and get him premium celeb tail. Now he can live off that money and play the music he wants.
@@rollotomassi4768 haahaha i agree, although his earlier pop tunes were a bit cheesy, theyre also musically interesting , his first album songs are filled with crazy intricate acoustic chords (look up st patricks day)
John Mayer is an enigma to me. Such a talented guitar player, plays with the dead, loves the blues, but he only releases pop albums. It's quality pop, but pop none the less. I wonder why he doesn't mix it up and release some music that's more in line with this version of him.
Look up the John Mayer Trio..... it's not much but it's absolutely worth a listen. He plays with the same trio on his 2007 live album as well. Thank god youtube exists.
The problem is referring to his first three albums as such. Mayer was as experimental as Bjork or Radiohead. Creep is more "Pop" than anything he's done.
Awesome version of a classic song. John Mayer has a very unique voice. You can really tell how much blues music influences his guitar playing. John's guitar playing is full of soul and I hear alot of SRV style guitar licks which makes this song that much sweeter.
Crazy to think I couldn’t stand this guy in middle school bc of “Your Body is a Wonderland”. So glad I saw this through bc now I’ll see him every time he comes through my town. Guy is a guitar god that plays with as much soul as I’ve ever witnessed during my existence.
I think him, Lady Gaga and probably some others did the same thing. Its unfortunate, but music like blues/jazz just doesn't sell. The general public and radio listening folks don't care about it... to further illustrate my point - go listen to the radio and tell me how often you hear songs that aren't "Your Body is a Wonderland" and the other few big hits he has - you won't hear them. Same with Gaga. Obviously I cant know this for sure, but I'd be willing to bet money they started out with pop because they wanted to make a living performing music and it was either pop or it be a weekend thing for the rest of their lives. Now that they've got a solid income flowing in, they can make the music they want to make and do what they want to do. It sucks.
Gibson ES-335. Guitar has been around for over 50 years; a staple for jazz, blues, and rock players. I'm sure some country players have used them, too. They're great guitars; the semi-hollow body gives a rich acoustic resonance.
when some guitar player sound like this man , no matter who it is, or where it comes from........automatically becomes legend. This man is a genius , this video is proof !
Although people will hate it when others say that John is one of the best guitarist out there, I definitely believe it to be true. Most guitar fanboys are focused of speed without meaning they don't appreciate the richness of meaning of John's style. He's not just a guitarist, he's an actual musician.
John is one few musician from today era thats still rockin the spirit of rock n roll and blues and not get teased by clubs tune unlike chris martin and adam levine.. bless you john
Beyond Talanted...A Gifted SOAB. Thank you John for your music, your voice and your guitar!! I mean WOW WOW WOW !!!! Keep up with your amazing music to my ears😜
Absolutely, that timing in the pocket is the best I’ve ever seen Steve and Pino are perfect, at 1:55 too... they make it look easy, I couldn’t even get timing like that editing it in protools...
Pure talent and what soul this guy has, such a wonderful groove, didn't want it to stop, guess I'll just have to play it again and again and again and again 😀
Yep. Clapton influenced him but not the degree that Hendrix, Vaughan, and BB did. My opinion obviously. Regardless, we're all winners because this is a great rendition of a spectacular tune.
Damm man, John mayer is in my top 3 influences Such a great musician We don't speak about guitar playing here no more, it's music, it's one and it's whole ANd this dude's got it
Positive vibes, for the young Mr John Mayer! I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know! I love the way you take someone else's song, and make it your own. Amazing!❤❤❤
What kind of good vibes shit is he smokin, and where can I get some? Lol. Seriously though, this proves John Mayer is way more than just a stereotypical pop artist and that he can actually play some pretty damn good blues music. I just wish he would make a strictly blues album.
@@alexmickmusic and adding onto that, you might want to check out Continuum and Where The Light is, although Where The light is is a live album, it has blues songs on it which are brilliant

bruh he mastered guitar while he was still a teenager lol, he wrote No such thing and Neon when he was like 19 or 20
I agree
I think this is when he had truly mastered the blues, but he was certainly a master song writer by 20
I think he’s always been a master, just in constant change. Look at him a the Dead, he’s a guitar god for sure.
@@diegomahoudeau934 for sure! Dead & Co really allowed him to blossom and play to his full potential...
Mad respect for that drummer too.. dude is on spot the entire song. Epic cover!
Don't know if it is post or tuning but the drum sounds on this track jump out at me... The dry poppy snare is incredible!
@@ikepotts3673 that is 100% Steve Jordan's natural attack. His snare playing is immaculate
It's the wood rims

And all those techniques present a different guitar vocal expression if one can call it that.
Oh great another Clapton nut hugger trying to beat his chest and smear another style of music. Just listen to what you like and don't bash.
Shredding is only impressive to guitarists, actual music storytelling is impressive to everyone.
He's prefer to be 'listenable' not shredder
That's what you call playing from the heart

The thing that makes Pino Paladino absolutely the best bass player…is he knows when NOT to play. And when he DOES play…damn. He plays incredibly.
Such a great crowd. They shut the fuck up when this dude was playing, and cheered when he was done

Did anybody notice the bass giant Mr Pino Palladino on the bass ?? A monster hides behind the guitar beast...

I’m not sure but that may be a 339
Beautiful guitar!
It's a es 335 clapton reissue. Basically a es 335 1963 reissue
Keep in mind that John is a
super tall dude
Whoaaa! Insane! The best JM ever! Killer.
I'm speachless! :) This was grand!
This is one of the best cover rearrangements I’ve ever seen
May Bill Withers legacy last for future generations of fans & I (i.e. "Lovely Day"). Beth
That solo is addictive
Every time I come back to listen, the performance slaps my expectations. Unbelievable!
Love this cover! My wife hasn’t seen this & I know she’ll love to watch it, instant brownie-points, fellas.
You wanna hear some great guitar playing? Well here you go.... he’s a freaking MASTER!!!!
You know it ..the man is constantly evolving, master of his soul, talent and destiny!
when some guitar player sound like this man , no matter who it is, or where it comes from........automatically becomes legend. This man is a genius , this video is proof !
Although people will hate it when others say that John is one of the best guitarist out there, I definitely believe it to be true. Most guitar fanboys are focused of speed without meaning they don't appreciate the richness of meaning of John's style. He's not just a guitarist, he's an actual musician.
Gave me a chill through the body and thoughts in my mind
John is one few musician from today era thats still rockin the spirit of rock n roll and blues and not get teased by clubs tune unlike chris martin and adam levine.. bless you john
Beyond Talanted...A Gifted SOAB. Thank you John for your music, your voice and your guitar!! I mean WOW WOW WOW !!!! Keep up with your amazing music to my ears😜
I LOVE the chemistry and genius at 1:23. Christ almighty
Absolutely, that timing in the pocket is the best I’ve ever seen Steve and Pino are perfect, at 1:55 too... they make it look easy, I couldn’t even get timing like that editing it in protools...
I love how simple Pino plays, doesn't play any difficult licks that would drown out Johns playing. shows how good Pino is
John has such a great way of playing around the pocket that just gets me every time
Nothing like a classic tune being covered by John Mayer.
I'll never get tired of this cover.
nobody can ,t say thats musik ....that is the best Blues ever....omg.....thank u john
Nice groove, awesome guitar and I can only wIsh I was that talented
Pure talent and what soul this guy has, such a wonderful groove, didn't want it to stop, guess I'll just have to play it again and again and again and again 😀
Best live guitar performance in the history of the world, even though he made three or four audible errors.
Man, I’ve probably watched this 50 times! And it never gets old...
Love John Mayer great guitarist great cover BUT Ain't No Sunshine is OWNED souly by one ☝️
Did not think anyone could best Steel Bill Withers, but you got it.
best trio and the best version of this song i've heard in my life
I come back time and time again to watch this. It's incredibly
Tremendous skill. Thousands of hours of practice. The result? Mastery. Beautiful bro.
To all the Mayer haters. Yes his lyrics are written to sell albums to the teenie boppers. But this proves the man is a guitar god!!!
That's why he is Slow Hand Jr
Hell yeps
dont think he took after Clapton that much. more Hendrix and Vaughan i think. maybe thats just what ive listened through idk.
Yep. Clapton influenced him but not the degree that Hendrix, Vaughan, and BB did. My opinion obviously. Regardless, we're all winners because this is a great rendition of a spectacular tune.
Rich Giroux I don't think teens have ever listed to his music. College girls, yes - in the Room for Squares era, but no longer.
John Mayer is an amazing player/singer. Fact. Right on the money all the time. Cool John.
The solo (1:27 - 3:08) is one of the best live expressive solos ever - a rich library of licks to adapt. Great tone as well.
I've watched this about 500 times
Damm man, John mayer is in my top 3 influences
Such a great musician
We don't speak about guitar playing here no more, it's music, it's one and it's whole
ANd this dude's got it
Right on!!
Positive vibes, for the young Mr John Mayer! I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know! I love the way you take someone else's song, and make it your own. Amazing!❤❤❤
The licks on that Bass. Man.
He rocked that song. I never thought I would like any other version. And the instrumental who out of this world. I'm loving it
Glad he made it through his "fun" stages and is still bringing his genius to us.
What kind of good vibes shit is he smokin, and where can I get some? Lol. Seriously though, this proves John Mayer is way more than just a stereotypical pop artist and that he can actually play some pretty damn good blues music. I just wish he would make a strictly blues album.
closest rendition to that would be jm trio
@@alexmickmusic and adding onto that, you might want to check out Continuum and Where The Light is, although Where The light is is a live album, it has blues songs on it which are brilliant
the drummer is always amazing at his shows
