      Well.. looks like I’m going to be calling Zane “Snape” for a while” 😂

    I like the studio version so much, when he plays with the solos and changes, adds more stuff, that's even more beautiful and i enjoy it a lot. This guy is so underrated because of his personal life but hes a brilliant musician. And only the ones that has a good taste in music could enjoy it that much like me so im lucky about it. Bless you jm!

    • @luciaterenzi9445
      @luciaterenzi9445 9 років тому

      what's with his personal life? I don't know him too well so I wouldn't know about his bad reputation

    • @luciaterenzi9445
      @luciaterenzi9445 8 років тому +1

      +vw s/he said that he's underrated as an artist because of his bad reputation and i was just wondering what he did that was so bad to partially ruin his carrier. I was just questioning that part of the comment since I don't know anything about him, I really don't know what you're talking about, i know his/her comment was mostly about him as a musician.

    • @boratepe
      @boratepe 8 років тому

      +Lu Te I think he made some unfortunate statements about his love life and maybe some racism, i don't know that much too. I'm not american, but whenever i ask an american about john mayer's music, they say he's a douchebag instead of commenting on his music. I think he's a great person besides being a great musician.

    • @AirekxD
      @AirekxD 8 років тому

      +Lu Te he's a ladies man he dated multiple women back then like Taylor swift, Jen Aniston, Katy perry and more. He also made racist remarks but he said that he has like a dark humor and didn't mean it that way some cause of that people always over look his music.

    • @lexrex3
      @lexrex3 7 років тому +4

      I heard a little it of a Hendrix sound, too at the beginning of the solo. But, then he goes back into his own grove which is a nice kind of hybrid. Great singer, song writer, and guitarist all around.

    • @jackcarlson9645
      @jackcarlson9645 7 років тому +12

      No, just no. Was he influenced by Hendrix? Yes. Is he a reincarnate of hendrix? Absolutely not. Is he better or more versatile? No. Hendrix pioneered and reinvented how to play the guitar. John Mayer has not done that. Hendrix is the greatest guitar player of all time. John Mayer is a hell of a guitar player though!

  • @maryscottoconnor9711

    Every single live performance of this is better than the last. But the same can be said of every live performance of any song. I have yet to NOT be blown away.

  • @DiegoAvellar

    The best live version of this music!! John Mayer is an amazing artist!! I'm glad that I saw him live in Brazil last year. I'll never forget that day.

    • @maryscottoconnor9711

      I know, right? I've got it on repeat with "Last Train Home" (ballad version) and "Born and Raised." Of course, it'll only be a matter of time before I get on a kick with another group of songs. "Gravity" live? Puhleeze - sublime.

  • @cuatro336

    Imagine the pressure of being John Mayer's lead guitar player.

  • @brewer9565
    @brewer9565 9 років тому +9

    Solid performance from all. Zane Carney's playing is sublime and his solo is so elegant and tasteful. You can see by John's smile at eye end of it that he loved it. Great keys in the break. Solid rhythm section with Aaron Sterling on drums and Sean Hurley on the vintage Fender P-bass capped with a killer solo from John on the Strat. Love this!

    For the beginner guitar players out there. Look up the B Minor Pentatonic scale and practice, practice, practice on improvising over this song. John is one of the people who influenced me to play and pick up the guitar!!

    Goodbye cold, goodbye rain
    Goodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
    I'm headed out west with my headphones on
    Boarded a flight with a song in the back of my soul
    And no one knows
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down
    Hello beauty, hello strange
    Hello wonder, what's your name?
    Looking for the sun that Neil Young hung
    After the gold rush of 1971
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down
    If you see her say, "Hello"
    Just don't tell me, "I told you so"
    Joni wrote Blue in her house by the sea
    I gotta believe there's another color waiting on me
    To set me free
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down, down
    Get down

    The cheer the audience does at 4:05 comes across as phony due to how quickly they cut it off. Just as it was starting to crescendo, it just died suddenly. Like it was an "applause button" someone pressed. Drives me crazy when people do shit like that.

    • @toastskill
      @toastskill 4 роки тому +1

      I guess it's cause just a few ppl were excited when he picked up the e guitar. So they cheered and stopped cheering as he started playing. Doesn't seem that phony to me.
