I've been playing guitar for a while and I watch Mayer playing guitar and still watch in awe like viewing a magician pull a coin from my ear for the first time.
When sky blue gets dark enough To see the colors of the city lights A trail of ruby red and diamond white Hits her like a sunrise She comes and she goes Like no one can Tonight she's out to lose herself And find a high on Peachtree Street From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always Heavy into everything She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon Who knows how long, how long, how long She can go before she burns away I can't be her angel now You know it's not my place to hold her down And it's hard for me to take a stand When I would take her anyway I can She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon Who knows how long, how long, how long She can go before she burns away
@TH3MOUV3M3NT even though i heard the kevin cossom song before i heard john mayer perform this, im sure he got it from its original source and song title, "uncle tom's diner" and im more than positive KC sampled the song too
One of the best versions of Neon i've heard
that boy play with his soul
I've been playing guitar for a while and I watch Mayer playing guitar and still watch in awe like viewing a magician pull a coin from my ear for the first time.
i don't understand how people can hate on his guitar playing... He's good, really good.
there are people hating his guitar playing??
hate?😂
Who tho?
Shut up
I like that alternate ending he did at 6:23 - 6:32.. Awesome stuff...
learning the regular version is hard enough, no one could ever be able to play anything close to this
fucking sick..
how the crap can he top himself like that?? that was utterly amazing!
Damn! That was by far the damn best neon I've heard. Shit was dope!
"When you try to learn Neon"'s face 2:49
The intro and bridge solo are legendary.
That thing he does with the main riff at 0:25 is awesome
video A++ clear, great quality and by far the best shot of him rocking 'toms diner' in the middle. Thanks alot man
madness? THIS IS NEON!
The Tom's Diner part blew me away. \\m//
Johns face when he sings "burns away" xD
This is music.
Thanks for Sharing! I was at this concert, and it was great to re-live it through your video.
Best version of neon
John Mayer is good he covered himself.
5:02
John Mayer: YEAH IM THAT GOOD!!!
5:14
Crowd: YEAH HE IS!!!!
still a very underated guitarist
superb talent
this was an amazing show!
and this is an equally amazing video :)
4:42 Did Fall Out Boy use this part for their song centuries? Sounds a lot like it.
PhantomNobu yes sweetie
No, it's a melody from a song called "Tom's Diner" which Fall Out Boy sampled on Centuries.
Thanks for posting this gem!
simply AWESOME !!!
that was a beast. definitely gonna cover this song!
Hey, im from the future. You still havent covered this song
That's why I love John Mayer :)
wonderful!!!
oh lovely
sick.
Madness?
THIS... IS... MAYER!!!
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
Um dia tocarei assim
Eai?
beast.
OUT OF SIGHT!SKILLS!
sick!
This ain't no skill...it's lifetimes of devotion
5:10 He's using just his thumb? Like Victor Wooten? Or a combination of index finger and thumb...any ideas?
+Leon Naraine Thumb and index you got it
only thumb and index
the quality is hurting my ears but i am still watching........
Ikr lol John Mayer the only guy I go through ear rape for
@SteelySin
Madness?
THIS IS JOHN MAYER!
The diner is referring to the song(Tom's Diner) that's being played in the solo.
@bmawnz Thanks, that makes sense (thought it was a venue when I read the title!)
@rgriffithmusic It is, it's called "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega.
This is not every song you listen till the damn end nowadays.
4:42 to 5:01 should be a song itself
yes, and it's the intro of "Tom's diner"
dam..😲
still trying this song😢
damn. that's a nice diner
4:41
That's 'cause he's playing like he has "Tiger-blood" in him! ;)
Wait! He can sing, while he is playing THIS! NO WAY !
He 's a compositor of this music,for him is ez
@TH3MOUV3M3NT even though i heard the kevin cossom song before i heard john mayer perform this, im sure he got it from its original source and song title, "uncle tom's diner" and im more than positive KC sampled the song too
