Admit it, we all have fantasised about being John Mayer in this concert
no doubt ... 0:17... \o/
@@razielol oh definitely hopefully one day soon
Can’t believe he’s from my town, it’s so motivating. One day we’ll make it, mark my words. Good luck to y’all.
Cant even lie. He completely made this song his. He's fucking in it man.. Musicians know.
Ray Hoodoo Na
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.
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...
That Bass player looks like he's about to say "NOICE".
noice!
"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.
@@shahafshavit1114 noice!
BRUH u just killed me
nah hes like fuck mayer improvin on a bar this wasnt planned
Did anybody notice the bass giant Mr Pino Palladino on the bass ?? A monster hides behind the guitar beast...
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.
At 1.55, so tight it hurts!
Probably Steve Jordan on drums too...
I love how he’s just GETTIN IT in the background the entire video 😂
@@oldfart4751 Didn't he play with Clapton too?
Such a great crowd. They shut the fuck up when this dude was playing, and cheered when he was done
The boy can throw down, vocally and guitarically.
Lughnerson
"Guitarically"... Lol..awesome
Guitarically.
@@palmsofdestin1 lmao
Great googly boogalee
Why I thought that was a word 😭
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
Imagine that, a good drummer in fromt of that many people with John Mayer? Shocking
It’s the very definition of pocket
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.
This the kind of music that makes you pick up the guitar and fucking practice!
askmehow25 damn right Brother
So how did you both do? Its over 3 yrs now. Have you mastered the song?
thats factuals
hahaha yeah right?
i dont know :D but I can play it without mistake even blindfolded :D
that snare >>>>>>>>>
I agree. Sounds fantastic.
Reminds me of Chad Sextons snare from 311, sounds awesome.
J V forrrsssure
The guys a fucking metronome
Pebble is l
This was 10 years ago, it’s 2020...... and I still watch this
RIP Bill
its incredible
Get a life
2021 still here!🙌
2:38 gives me the chills everytime
1:55 is awesome too love how tight the drums and bass are hitting laying down that simple but fat foundation... whole thing is pretty dang good...
Is he using a pick there??
@@bentorodrigues3871 I don’t believe so, looks like he is just putting his fingers in that shape
So, much fucking emotion. I fucking love you John Mayer, you're the shit!
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.
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
insane
ikr
Gone, but not forgotten. "We all need somebody lo lean on" RIP Bill.
This song is an emotion.
Miss Misery &
@giri kotte haha edgy
always spins me out how he can play guitar like that and sing at the same time
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.
Avinash Satheesh R K agreed on that one
Yes. He can even chew & walk at the same time. Amazing, huh?
You are so right, man.
Little did they know they’d be listening to one of the best live performances of a cover ever!
JM is a guitar master but the drummer 😰WTF! Is awesome
Steve Jordan is incredible.
He's absolutely fantastic
Pino on bass is no slouch either, those two make this awesome, John is just filling in the gaps, rather nicely, but man the drums and bass are absolutely killing it...
Ikr that kick sounds awesome
John Mayer Trio baby
John Mayer kills it everytime he gets on stage......Respect!!
yeah, he's actually better on stage which is exceptional
One of the best guitarist of our generation
of all time
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?
Sakran i dont like steve vai or john petruci, to me when the play its almost robotic.
SonnyBoy Novoselic
He said ONE OF the best, he's up there with the rest.
When you become one with the music, instrument, the song, your feelings..
so so incredible right
I wish he would exclusively come out with an album like this.
Nobody besides a "hater" would bash this.
i don't even like John mayer but this is legit. He is undeniably talented.
+Jerry Zelda Couldn't agree with this comment any more. I really don't like his character, but god damn does he nail this song!
+Eddie Rolfe He is good at giving people what they want.
+Jerry Zelda Would be happy to give you some suggestions on some stuff of his to watch if you like this hah.
I agree but, playing guitar isn't a talent. its a skill you get by dedicating your life to practicing.
Anton Alvarez your talking about technique. Anyone could learn the mechanics but you gotta be born with the heart and soul
Dayum. Didn't even know I was a John Mayer fan. Guess I am. :)
i'm finding that out too! man's got soul
Check out John Mayer Trio or Dead & Company
👏👏👏👏👏
rofl!
Fred Dalzell, cool!
Anybody else just vibing to this? What a band man...
Even these years later, its still the same.
Owned. It.
(With silly sunglasses).
Total respect dude.
How the guitar can sounds delicious!
Joungu Lee really really true sound babe!
It's in the fingers
Joungu Lee mustann
Timothy E Gann w musttang
it's dumble sound
Now that is how the electric guitar is suppose to sound like.
the electric guitar is supposed to sound however the player wants it to
@@marcosm802 but not every guitar players are able to get the sound they want
that’s where practice comes in 😉
A wild Tom Morello appears
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 Hey, even his crappy pop music is still slappin, his worst is still great haha.
@@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)
If you don’t know you don’t know
Listening to this version of Ain't No Sunshine is like watching an old black and white movie in colors. An absolute master of the instrument
Agree my brother
Its actually Freddy king version
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.
if there ain't no sunshine, why is john wearing sunglasses
MrVendorist she's not gone yet lol
Yes
So much fucking yasssss
!because he is stoned as shit obviously.
He'll wait for it
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...but your kids are going to love it"
"Marty, that was very interesting music"
Steve Jordan puts on an absolute clinic here. No one should be that smooth, its unfair.
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
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
Amen at that Bro 🙌🏼🙌🏼!!
+ROBERT ASHNER I'll second that. The man definitely slams his soul into it.
Don't forget that Stevie Ray influence
+Bigwilly Pacino It's there, but Mayer really does evolve it into his own form of expression.
John frusciante
That solo is addictive
Guitar must have directly plugged into his heart.....
can't wait to listen to this high
fuck yeah
William Mason juat you should loll
If you can’t listen to this dead sober and still find it absolutely amazing, you got issues buddy
JCPatten he was just getting into the music
William Mason dude I’m so fucken high rn tripping over John Mayer 🤘
3:26 The drummer's feelin it!
How could you not?
my man is holding down the fort
I didn't get that far. He was rushing so much.
The drummer onows where she's gone
@@LordeMarsh il
anyone seen it more than 10 times ? (guilty)
This is the best version of this song!!
I like that drummer doesn’t face the crowd. It tells me his focus is the band and not the gaze of strangers.
I've watched this about 500 times
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!
He’s playing Clapton’s legendary 64’ 335 ... holy wow 😳 history 🎸
I wish it was 4 hours long. This is just pure talent. So soothing
Did John get those glasses in a Happy Meal?
Holy Cow that comment cracked me up. I laughed so hard I am crying....thank you!!
Thrift Geek fuck off geek
Rofl they are small
the sad thing is those are prob worth more than our entire net worth's combined
@@adrianpike5467 savage AF lol
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.
I would definitely LOVE a full studio album from this trio. Maybe John just likes the live performances of this nature though, I could understand that
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.
Born and Raised wasn’t a pop album. It’s probably his best studio record
John Mayer trio is their best lineup 100%
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.
@@JeffReigns Love that you included Gaga, she's one of the most talented voices of the ages. Same with John, you're so right though man.
Everything about this is absolutely sick. The drums, the bass, the guitar and most importantly of course, the glasses
God, that's just utterly and completely gorgeous. Curls my toes!
The licks on that Bass. Man.
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....
Pino and Steve bring out the best in Mr. Mayer, imo.
Couldn't agree MORE! The Trio is where John is at his best. Most fans don't get to hear the 3 of them together. Can't wait to they make another album and tour!!

Agreed!
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.
"John Mayer is a master" - Eric Clapton.............
One of my favorite JM performances of all time. Love the tone he's able to send through his fingers on that gorgeous guitar.
Same. I have been playing this song on a loop for a decade. So much to learn from JM on how to feel each and every note.
Does anyone know if that guitar was an es3339? thanks
@@bobkempa2754 no its an Eric Clapton Crossroads Signatre ESS335 from the custom shop. A 64 reissue to be exact. Rare guitar.
SOMEONE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY FFS
most underrated guitarist of all time
harpoon308 mike mcCready
can't tell if you're joking or not sorry
I'm pretty sure you haven't even heard of Nuno Bettencourt.
He's not underrated
not really bro, I think everybody knows he's whacking it!:)
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
The slap on the string.. the snare. Solo... everything.. 😍😍
Nice groove, awesome guitar and I can only wIsh I was that talented
This is one of the best cover rearrangements I’ve ever seen
I didn't even have John on my radar. Knew he was a "great guitarist" but Jesus Christ...smooth. New fan.
This version is beastttt
god.. this is what we call the artist...
How in the hell have I only found this GEM now
He just vibin in his own world and we were just witnesses
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.
internet has killed radio
Lol by no means is he a fusion guitarist. Don't lump Mayer (a great player ) with phenoms like John McLaughlin and Al di Moela real fusion guitarist.
Don't listen to them. Just listen to this guitar playing legend, and think about the fact that you have the ear to enjoy beautiful music. Just enjoy🖖
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.
when he said "THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING US??" wtf who will not accept such artists?
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 !
the drummer is always amazing at his shows
Gave me a chill through the body and thoughts in my mind
I have to watch this daily
Three musicians that know how to let the song breathe!!
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!
I'm speachless! :) This was grand!
I wish I can forget and rediscover this
On the today's class, gents, Mr Mayer will teach you some feeling
I think the level of emotions that this version of this song can give, is incomparable.
I know right? I think John Mayer just hit the record for making the most women wet in one sitting.
Save some pussy for the rest of us John LMAO.
cybertree yes
I'd disagree. Michael's vocals were much more soulful.
God The Real One it's an opinion... neither right nor wrong. AndrosThor didn't present it as fact either. Soooo you're dumb. (👈 my opinion 👍)
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 😀
Glad to know ppl still listening this masterpiece
That was "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers who thankfully is still with us...
This comment has not aged well...
@@ethanmack5402 You can say that again, sadly he is no longer with us.
I'll never get tired of this cover.
If anyone ever asks you what “guitar face” is, just show them this video.
Damn, this guy has a real future in the music industry.
Man, I’ve probably watched this 50 times! And it never gets old...
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.
Yeah it looks too small to be a 335 to me.
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
Unlike a lot of artists. He actually sounds great live just as he records. Props to the mayor
Thats why hes played with all the legends on stage like jammin session Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, BB King Ronnie wood etc with confidence.
JM3 is musical perfection. The moment I start to credit one of the three, I feel I am being unfair to the other two lol. So good
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
John Mayer is an amazing player/singer. Fact. Right on the money all the time. Cool John.
John Mayer, John Frusciante, Jonny Greenwood, Jack White, Matt Bellamy, and Tom Morello: great guitarists of this generation
PenacHo 13 gary clark, joe b, kingfish, eric gales, many more
Tom morello is just overrated. He's just abusing his whammy bar
Pino Palladino at 3:33 sliding into some bass chords and looking totally in the zone
the POWER in this performance omgggg
This song gives me chills. E V E R Y T I M E
