      Years ago, John Mayer played a show at Buddy Guyy's "Legends" club in downtown Chicago. Towards the end of the set, they did a duet with dueling solos and Mayer absolutely played Buddy off the stage. You could tell Buddy was seeing red after getting shown up in his own club like that.

    • @Cashappfool
      @Cashappfool 9 місяців тому +1

      A good musician plays for the song and the vibe, to truly play tastefully takes time with music god and your instrument , it takes soul. Serpents play well because they are in competition with natural children of god. Real music is played for love and is creative and signature, it is from source from what will not be mentioned as to not devalue what we don’t understand by feigning comprehension, to be creative is to love and share and to be competitive or in competition is to be primal, the devil is you, and rewards you for not identifying with your true self because you have dominion, anyways what I am saying is humans are equals and have infinite carnal knowledge and use it as a weapon against there equals AGAINST THEMSELVES, because of lies and fear. John mayers professionalism stems from him being humbled by god I would imagine he probably Dosent understand it because no one does but his art is his alone and there is no other John Mayer because he isn’t competing with man he is sharing in gods love all glory to the most high I do not use the term god anymore unless it helps me share the truth but to describe the most high with one dimensional meaningless words is mouth malevolence and is a mockery of true experience which is a blessing beyond our comprehension and must thus just be accepted glory must be given to identify with your true self which is described in manIPULATORS WORDS as being a demigod with actually magic powers that can only be experienced by not using free will and anything else is anmockery and a egoic flesh worship, Satan’s musicians lack creativity and you lack discernment I know the difference because I can keep up with anyone musically or carnally and my life and music is the proof, I don’t validate in the flesh at all so i won’t be worshipped like an idol, that dosent mean John Mayer is the devil tho just because you are lol you are Satan and Satan rewards others for denying the truth because Satan is a narcissist control freak because Satan is you and you know you are doomed by your ignorance of ignorance and your primal survival instinct ego that is a lie you tell yourself to begin with, you play the victim to victimize and demon time is ded god mode has been in affect but will now be taking control of this realm one child of truth after another you will no longer be able to destroy children who retain there connection with the most high and truth because you can’t discern them and that is why I am here speaking the only truth the truth that makes you face yourself and your lies, the truth isn’t at war you are at war with your true self all glory to the most high

    John rocked this entire song. Three verses and three different movements before that solo in this arrangement. First was in the pocket. Second was experimental. Third, John knew what he wanted to do, and then he finished off with that solo.
    There were levels to this performance. This short made me listen to it again and I was vibing with John the whole time. Simply awesome.

      @@JohnMayersTop4Fan I'm going to lay down a comment that may or may not be a good point. Gustavo Cerati was an artist that casually walked kind a similar path on guitars owned. Let me explain: Gus started playing Soda Stereo with a Stratocaster, which was robbed of him, then played a Jackson Soloist, similar to the john's one in this video; then went to PRS to own a Custom Multifoil which went on to be its main guitar. Also owned an ES335. On acoustics they differ, cerati using Guild, yamahas or Ovation, and also a Gibson Chet Atkins SST.
      Cerati mainly did rhytmics, very treble-y sounds, which i think contrasts with John's preference to warm and blues-y sounds.
      just a little bit of info.
      Should check out how that PRS Custom Multifoil sounded, its amazing
