the coolest part about these 2 is they seem completely different john over there with his eyes closed just feeling the music and keith rocking out head banging and getting with the music yet they both work together so freaking well it’s amazing
John’s solo and guitar tone is beautiful. The fact that he can never duplicate that solo ever again and it was all on the spot played with feeling makes him one of the greatest we’ll ever see
I love how between 4:51-5:30 Keith plays these complex riffs on the mid-ish frets of the lower strings. This allows John to be a little bit more creative with those jazzy riffs higher up on the frets. I wish they made an album together with music just like this. But the way record labels are these days, this unfortunately wouldn't happen :(
I'd guess both have big enough names to make any collab album somewhat commercially viable. Mayer & Urban on an entire album would be spectacular indeed, brilliant artists who compliment each other perfectly both as guitarists and singers!
Both of these guys are fabulous guitar players. To say otherwise is to short change both of them. They play different styles, both can play lightly or shred as necessary. Enjoy them for what they do and be glad they are both around to be listened to...
I like it that John Mayer doesnt stick to blues and pop only. other artists just say that they dont want to play in other styles because they dont dare and think it will not sell anymore or wont be as good as usual
This is fucking great. Keith is a great player, all tight, stinging melodic bends and sweet runs, but he is also totally generous here and gives John lots of space to play his looser, improv jazz-inflected bursts of rhythm and melody. Works really well together, really rocking, authentic take on the song.
wow bro or sista , your just totally hating John Mayer. there's no way in hell you can put down John Mayer's ability to play the Guitar. Just because he produces a different style of music than you like the guy can play the Guitar. every style every beat every rhythm and, PLAYS THEM ALL GREAT. When he just jams like no one ever to music. Now as for Keith Urban........... WOW. I had no idea this guy could jam like that. NO IDEA this guy at all (thought he was just a country singer) but this guy jams. they play GREAT together. its an interesting combo that works.
I personally think his two best albums were his live ones Try! and Where the Light Is. This man is a musical genius. He can play the guitar like no one has ever seen before, acoustic or electric, and can sing just as incredibly!
Being one of the biggest JM fans on the planet, I can say that Urban played a really melodic solo, and comped ingeniously for John. The two meshed beautifully.
John starts his magic about the 4:00 mark, it's just moving to watch and listen to what he is really hearing and his ability to play it. It just ooozzz out of him and his guitar.
Nothing here is truly improvised I believe - these are things guitarists of this caliber have touched up on many times- that said, if one had to pick a couple of guys to plead one’s case in front of St Pete at the gate with only six-string at hand, one would have to go with John for his playing and Keith for his spirit- divinity from minute 4 onwards....
@@fgb4159fr tho, however many yrs it is later I still think these guys didn’t give af about the audience by the outtro. By the 3:30 mark they were talking to God together
I agree. You can see that in some of the older guys famous for guitar. The ones who stuck to their one genre became tired and repetitive, where as their peers who branched out are mostly still going strong. And its on both sides just like the two in the video. Clapton and Willie Nelson for example. Old dudes rockin it. You should check out some of Willie's work outside of his famous country stuff, its amazing. And Clapton has jump started his career several times in different genres.
Its honestly rare to see another guitarist keep up with john, especially someone whos main platform is just the guitar. Keith really shows off his chops, hes definitely on John's level, really impressive
Awesome. Love John's solo and his interpretation of the chorus on guitar. Not digging his new look, but guess that doesn't matter. All about the Music!
@obga18 its hard to notice but he actually has his fender plugged in if you look at the amp left of his knees you can see the wire... i think he might of been adjusting the volume of his ear plug-ins
@obga18 can you not see the rather long cable looped through the strap and then draped behind him? I've never known Mayer to go wireless. I know Clapton does and I'm pretty sure that Buddy Guy does but not Mayer.
I did not realize how tall John Mayer was...unless Keith Urban is exceptionally short? I'm not a fan of country, but I did like this, mainly cause of John...
Who says he cant try different genres? I play guitar and i play multiple genres and if i ever get famous i dont plan on limiting myself to one style, more styles means a better player
he isn't a poser... when you can play as good as him, sticking one genre gets boring after a while. it's called widening your horizons.. ever heard of it?
Don't ever sleep on the drummer. One of Greatest live songs EVER
the coolest part about these 2 is they seem completely different john over there with his eyes closed just feeling the music and keith rocking out head banging and getting with the music yet they both work together so freaking well it’s amazing
When John kicks in for that final solo… goosebumps
This is the greatest piece of music i've heard in a very long time. Flat out destroys anything on the radio today!
John’s solo and guitar tone is beautiful. The fact that he can never duplicate that solo ever again and it was all on the spot played with feeling makes him one of the greatest we’ll ever see
Wow, the way John's folky major chords and soloing in the breakdown changes the song is absolutely remarkable. Even Keith is intrigued by it at 3:58

+Luke M (11OCTOBER10) "LOOSER" means more relaxed. Not "LOSER" which means idiot/dumb/stupid.
love how john builds the groove in those interludes
These two create fire works together at every performance!!
Fantastic - they sound really great together
awesome!!!! two great tastes that taste great together!!!!!!!! John + Keith = beyond amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Minute 3.49 onwards says all one needs to know- sweet guitars, teenage love and beautiful friendship!
I personally think his two best albums were his live ones Try! and Where the Light Is. This man is a musical genius. He can play the guitar like no one has ever seen before, acoustic or electric, and can sing just as incredibly!

Every album is a surprise and something new.
I have to come back and listen to this on a regular basis. John just checks out to a very beautiful place. Wish I could get a glimpse!
John starts his magic about the 4:00 mark, it's just moving to watch and listen to what he is really hearing and his ability to play it. It just ooozzz out of him and his guitar.
These two should play together more! Awesome music!
So Much Talent! 💗😊 Love them! They're great playing together. 💗😊 You got a great recording of them.
Those last screaming notes John plays at the end of his solo were amazing considering it was all improvised...
Could you try to transcribe the CMT version ? I tried so hard... There are so many golden licks :D

Keith is a fantastic guitar player, but John playing is just amazing the beautiful sounds that comes from his playing just goes to the soul.
Love these guys together. I like how John added the Jerry Garcia flavour into his noodles
John Mayer is the Definition of a Blues Man!

My 2 favorite artists singing together!!!:D
John is a legend. I'm telling you now.
4:00 onward is what my Heaven would sound like.
i would like to think so :)
I think the same damn thing everytime I watch this!
Love that drummer
awsome tune and john being epic as usual, what can go wrong?
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Glad to have another version, in addition to the CMT one:) Thanks for posting!
love this song and them together
agreed!
Sweeeeet guitar duet!!!
Beautiful!
King john...
very cool... i love it !
I see where James Bay got his look from
holy shit, amazing solo together
Genres are a crock! They are a marketing ploy. Music is Art and there are no borders or boundaries.
This is sick!
3:55 - until the end of the song just and amazing sound!!!!!
Its honestly rare to see another guitarist keep up with john, especially someone whos main platform is just the guitar. Keith really shows off his chops, hes definitely on John's level, really impressive
John is fuckin' amazing.
Mayers tone at 4:17.... Holy crap!!!
he is using a marshall major instead of a two rock here. fucking weird right?!
how do you know he's using a marshall?
Darren Kanagy I almost cried
they're such a great couple musically
I need to know what magical tone device he switches on at 4:00
Awesome. Love John's solo and his interpretation of the chorus on guitar. Not digging his new look, but guess that doesn't matter. All about the Music!
pretty damn cool
AH...MAZING......
@obga18 its hard to notice but he actually has his fender plugged in if you look at the amp left of his knees you can see the wire... i think he might of been adjusting the volume of his ear plug-ins
CHRIS MCHUGH 5:48. Miss this guy
ShaneHurleyOFFICIAL REALLY miss this guy*
ええ曲や～
Mayers on a entirely different level. KU can hold his own too!!
@jojo595901 It's my favorite of all his many guitars! Love it!
с 5:58 ...Джон, разве так можно круто играть?..просто улет!!!!!!! 20 раз перематывал))
Yeaaah monterey strat!
@jojo595901 ever since he got it he played it:P
its there but its a wireless.. the cable is plugged into this "thing" in his strap :)
Yea i agree
@obga18 can you not see the rather long cable looped through the strap and then draped behind him? I've never known Mayer to go wireless. I know Clapton does and I'm pretty sure that Buddy Guy does but not Mayer.
Canada ❤🎉
at 2:46 i thought john was picking a wedgie then i saw the cable and was like oh hes fixing his guitar lol
That scream though 🤭
4:09 is the moment you leave for your happy place
@ChewyPabz this is correct.
Great
eargasm
I did not realize how tall John Mayer was...unless Keith Urban is exceptionally short? I'm not a fan of country, but I did like this, mainly cause of John...
Who says he cant try different genres? I play guitar and i play multiple genres and if i ever get famous i dont plan on limiting myself to one style, more styles means a better player
Dhardy.... Haha so true! I love this video, it would have been stellar if only John didn't wear that hat. Great jam to end the song.
I know he has that wireless "ear thingy" that lets him hear specific things like his voice or guitar.
That's what I was saying
True bromance
well I can't imagine too many leaugues exist, so that's not surprising.
i heard keith did a cover of this john mayer song
It seems he is using a wireless transmitter, you can see the lead.
So like are their shows titled "John Mayer and Keith Urban" or is it just one of their shows and the other surprises people?
T H A N K Y O U.
John back to monterey strat :-)
This is unreal.
nope.. hes turning up his ear volume
Keith looks right at the camera at 3:02ish.
Keith cut John's solo too short @ the end...John was going places & he wasn't done yet...Dang!
agree, john could of easily gone on for another 3 minutes...easily one of my fav solos of his.
They get so close together I thought they were gonna kiss...
he isn't a poser... when you can play as good as him, sticking one genre gets boring after a while. it's called widening your horizons.. ever heard of it?
4:03 creative..
@karmiquebelle
keith is pretty short
@jianwan84 Anything under 6'4'' is short.
Wizard
just got pregnant. im a guy btw
Zo Urera it's been a year-how's the baby?
Lol 😂
The drummer at 5:56 doe
i love how much taller john mayer is compared to keith urban
John must be about 6'7 with that hat. never seen a strat look so tiny lol
There is a lot better version of this on crossroads. Check it out
John's hat is epi-cute ~ And sexy.
@aggieofcourse I'd go with guitar 'sex'.
keith is not short, John is just 6'4 lol
