John Mayer plays the way John Mayer plays. He's not overplayin, he's not playin sloppy, he's just like a little child that dreamed his whole life of playing next to this legend. Instead of analyzing this performance and nitpicking it for mistakes that aren't even mistakes, just sit back and try to enjoy musical improvisation for once in your life. Blues is all about the blue notes. The ones you call "sloppy". The thing I hate most about negative reviews is that they never seem to come from anyone who has ever done something like this in their entire lives. Oh and btw, happy birthday to the king.
I was walking out of a vegas music store years ago, BB was walking in, we both stopped at the door, and gracious as ever he stood aside and said come on young man, I, being raised properly, also stepped back and said no sir you can go first. but he insisted, so I went ahead and said thank you sir, only when I went back in did the guitar tech say "you know who that was?... B. B. king". I hadn't even recognized him.
I got to see BB live back in 2004 and he’s was such a humble guy just a regular man. As soon as the concert started he was sitting on a metal folding chair at the edge of the stage and he said “Turn on these lights! I want to see who I’m talking to!” And I was in the third row center I could have reached out and touched him! He played his Lucille and he told lots of very funny personal stories. Most of them were about his ex wives LOL 😂 it was soooo SPECIAL getting to see him live. What a great guy he was and we MISS you BB ♥️
Listen to b.b King I wish I could start my life all over again I definitely would be playing the guitar the sex piano and the guitar if you're so much life and so much happiness to everyone
BB was so kind & there will never be another that can touch him. Once in a while, God gives us someone who touches our soul and that was BB. God bless you BB, can't wait to see you again, hell of a band in Heaven!
It's fascinating to see two very different career stages, years of life and levels of experience through their playing so clearly. Mayer is so eager, all over the place in the best way possible, full of energy. And the King has done this for so long that he doesn't even "play" anymore, he just sits back and lets the guitar do its thing. That said, two unvelievable fucking musicians. Amazing.
And its built on the respect that both of these dudes have for each other, BB is just happy that someone is left to honor what he did in the past and John is as close as he gets to star struck
I was a finalist for the king of the blues competition and was there that night! I got to watch this part sitting next to Cheech Marin in one of the box seats above stage right… great memories! I got to open up for BB again in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Theater on 6/1/14!
Congratulations that’s a serious accomplishment! I wish I could’ve been there to see this, I’m sure you’ll cherish that moment throughout your career. Best wishes for the most success, keep doing what you love and feed your soul my friend!
BB King - such a humble, genuine man. I love it how he always recognises any musician who is playing alongside him. They may be not as good as he is, but he acknowledges them and that makes him a big, genuine man.
I love how people are always talking about how "John Mayer sucks"....he's up there with B.B. KING and holding his own with a guitar. Post your videos of your jam session with B.B. and THEN talk shit. Thank you, I'll be here all week.
I'm 73years years old (on July 15th of this year) and I can remember the night I saw BB King live in a small blues club in Phoenix and I was immediately hooked by one of the old school masters of old school blues
Its meant to b heard live too. Eating, drinking, dancing, while listening to a bluesman hit ur soul all night long. Its the only type of music I can think of that a live voice and live guitar is better than a fixed studio sound. They can tweak it in the studio to make it sound as clear and on rhythm as much as they want. It won't b better than hearing a grown man put all his pain in the mic during a live audience. Never
I was down for taste of Chicago in the early 80's and heard these guys playing serious blues on a porch. My friend and I asked if they minded if we sat and listened... It was BB and Buddy Guy! I Actually got to play guitar on his porch with 2 of the greatest bluesmen that ever graced us with their gifts! I was only like 25 and wasn't even close to having the chops to shine their shoes!
I'm a small town Alaskan guy who discovered something that spoke to me in the blues. I walked into a little club in Little Rock while it was having a blues jam and it transported me. Decades later I watched BB King perform in Anchorage. This concert with John ties those decades together and their music soothes me.
Litterally everytime I go back to listening blues after a month or two, I take my guitar and start playing some jam tracks, It's really fun to do so even when I am only an amateur player
I knew John could play very well because he plays Jerry Garcia tunes, but to play w/BB the way he did was marvelous. And BB was having fun taking it in as were the fans... The appreciation taking place on the stage was stuff of legendary proportion
Wow, just wow. Two of my absolute favourites. And One is now gone. Lets all just take a moment to appreciate everything BB did for music. With all the shit thats going on right now, remember my fellow humans; One love, One life. Be kind towards eachother, despite beliefs, despite race, despite opinion. Please, PLEASE, end the wars around the world.
This man Mr BB King who stole my heart many years ago when I first saw him in concert. I choose to sit up high and rock back and forth in my seat then stand and gyrate with his guitar. This man was a mentor to all these young pups who stood in his shadow and sought to emulate him in his genius and down to earth connection with the BLUES!! I love you Mr King and thank you for passing on your legacy so that we may enjoy even after you are gone to that big blues jam in Heaven
I close my eyes when JM is playing and feel like I'm at a concert. I close my eyes when B B is playing and I feel like I'm sitting in the corner with my lady in an old juke joint enjoying the blues. Both are good, B B just touches your soul!
I have to say that John was really truthfully devoted to BB. Just look at him watching with real interest as BB play's. He is absorbing everything he can from the Master and he admits it. You are a real cool guy John. I like you as a person as well as a fine musician. - Peter

RIP BB KING. His sounds so smooth here, I think they complimented each other well here, aside from the tinty sound Mayer has on his guitar.For this style of music, The es 335-355 sounds so much richer and fuller for his songs. BB had a lot of style, and I appreciate his contributions to the music world.RIP BB!
And as John Mayer once said he learned how to play blues by listening to BB King albums and practicing the songs that he heard with the hopes of playing with BB at some point and this video shows that John learned how to play the blues good enough to get the invitation from BB King to join him in this concert in Chicago and BB really does enjoy playing with John Mayer, Eric Clapton , Jeff Beck, Ronnie Woods, and others in the blue eyed blues players world just about every chance he gets as other old school masters of old school blues like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy ❤😊😅😂😮😅😊
It would've been brutal to see B.B. King in concert. That soulfulness, the cool tempo, the smooth energy coming from that guitar. His soul was in that music. He was the best. RIP, sir.
I’m a huge blues fan! It calms the soul! I never really though much of John Mayer but watching this video multiple times now I can say I have respect. The beautiful thing about the blues not one artist plays the same! Mayer played his souls out! The king gave him some lessons and Mayer seemed to just simply enjoy playing along side such a legend who gave so much to the music industry. True artists are disappearing and it’s unfortunate!
My Daughter turned me on to John Mayer and for as young as He was I knew He wasn't going to fade away. John gets Better and Better. The way he plays them strings are Fantastic and BB King the King of Blues L❤VE L❤VE L❤VE. Every guitarist has their own style Rest in Peace BB your are Missed but Never Forgotten GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations
My first UA-cam comment in years but oihhh, I have to give it to them. Simply mind blowing. Listening in from Johannesburg, South Africa. Thanks for the upload.
BB KING I SEEN U IN 1997 AT THE MONTEREY BLUES FESTIVAL U ARE A MEMORY IN MY HEAD THAT BRINGS ME A SMILE EVERYTIME U POP UP THANK U BUDDY . U PROBLY GOT GOD FEELING THE SAME WAY I DID WHEN U PLAYED FOR ME
I like everyone loves this duo and this is a soulful melody. But I just can't stop wondering, how did the drummer keep up with these 2 and their random notes. Amazing skills and kudos to the drummer
This video highlighted to me the soul and emotion BB King puts into his blues music how even masters need a lifetime of dedication to a craft to reach immortal status. Did he have passion - immeasurably so. R.I.P. BB King
I noticed, John Mayar when he was just 15 y/o teaching himself the guitar/blues. Every day, after school, hed hide out in his bedroom, practicing. I knew when he had gigs with local pubs, BEFORE he was of age to drink alcohol he hit it big. Not only that, he reminded me of a young Bob Dylan, BEFORE the music industry labeled him as such. To this day, I truely admire John Mayer
Wow! And Thàt's MUSIC! I'm 67, lost most of my left leg, but I sort of play guitar and the music didn't die on me. UA-cam's an ocean of memories as well as new musical experiences. Connected my tablet to a Marshall blue tooth speaker. Enjoy life, be safe!

I just love them both... I love how you can see John really feel the music and his voice is just so smooth. ❤ And I love BB because his guitar is an extension of him and he's not gonna be hurried by anyone! He sets the pace and that's it; the blues takes time, and he is the blues! ❤ A wonderful performance all round! I must have listened to this 200 times, it never gets old! 🎵🎶
My first concert was J Giels band opening for them BB King I was not only hooked on the Blue's but I was and still am hooked on BB King. God rest your soul.....
Mr. B.B. KING will always be one the greatest guitar/singer/writer plus! He was the 1st large concert gig for me at 18 now 74 and I'll never forget being persuaded to go down front by 3 beautiful young ladies and I don't think that being the only white person among about 5,000 was any big deal! I felt great and very privileged to be asked to come down front as the place was packed and there was no room in this beautiful deep south venue and free ticket I got at the door then why not I kept telling myself! Had a great time for sure but don't remember much other than answering a question that Mr. King had asked me.
B.B. King is the tastiest blues player, and even those who are very great at the blues, thank their style's existence to B.B. King. He's no doubt up there with Robert Johnson, Django, and Wes Montgomery category of most influential guitarist.
Went to see his show in Memphis.....sitting 3 feet from him and singing along, he stop and ask me little girl what you know about the blues? I enjoyed the show and the picture with him is still on my fridge! Love ❤️ him. This is awesome.
Only when musicians stop debating who is a better musician, will they be able to become better musicians. Music isn't something that's measurable. It's a story made into sound. It's emotion you can broadcast to thousands from a speaker. Music is pure, and it's easily one of the most magical things in existence.
say what you want about Mayer - but he respects the heck out of B.B. King. SRV is his biggest influence and he learned on the blues. And B.B. King knew that and was happy to be sitting next to him. period. he wouldn't have done it if he didn't want to.
I can't tell you how tired I am of this discussion. Under every single John Mayer video some idiots have to constantly compare Mayer to SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, B.B. King,... I mean - what is the point of doing that? First of all, it seems like people cannot get over the fact that Mayer is a undoubtedly great guitarist. You just can't say that he's a "bad" or average player. That's just not true! Simply judging him on his technique, speed, touch and tone this guy is a fucking great guitarist and far above the average player. I also think that blues lovers and Mayer critics can't get over the fact that he is so versatile. He came from Acoustic pop, went on to the blues and now ended up making two country records. Imagine SRV writing a pop song - I don't know if he could pull it of. And he doesn't have to but all I'm saying is that Mayer succeeded in every single genre by winning Grammy's, getting great feedback by other artists and selling millions of records. To me that is what makes him such a great musician that he is a pure pop artists, while being able to play a fucking solid and beautiful blues (Out Of My Mind), and on top playing some laid back country without using all the cheesy lyrics. People can't wrap their head around someone who can do that. Step into another genre and just cracking it. Many blues players dedicated their life to Blues music and there's nothing wrong with that. But there's this Mayer guy who dedicated his life to all sorts of music so he can't be the master of every single genre he plays. Well, he's definitely on his way to become a true legend if you ask me. Then thirdly all those people judging him and his guitar skills constantly try to argue against Mayers unassailable recognition by other artists. Clapton doesn't just say things like: 'He is a master guitar player.' for no reason. He isn't inducting SRV in the Hall Of Fame for no reason and so on. And then there's the big discussion over his private life. Oh my God. Get a life people! When I'm interested in music I don't care about who's girl this guys sleeping with. And if you're that kind of guy you at least gotta respect him for sleeping with a list of women many of us would be happy to only shake hands with. Imagine you're getting overpured with money and fame in your early twenties. How would you react? It's just plain naive and stupid to judge him on mistakes he made without us being in his position. Anyway, that's just what I've been thinking.
+Maximilien Bartel Mayer is a great musician but for blues he is in the average guitar player, no problem with this, in this video he overplay,notice how BB King keep the intrigue going , in mayer playing there is nothing except a bunch of notes, he needs to breath.
It really bugs me when people make music a contest. If there is one thing in the world that should NOT be a contest it is music. Well, artistic endeavours in general. Art is subjective and about expression. Both BB King and John Mayer are undoubtedly incredible blues musicians. Neither of them needs to be labelled as better than the other. They've both blazed their own trails and are fantastic at what they do.
Thank You BB for Your Graceful moment's in Yer dressing room after Your concert in Coffeyville, KS, RIP Brother We All Love You & We'll miss Your Live Shows, A-Ka-Boy-Bone-Thaw BB!❤️

Blues is all about the blue notes. The ones you call "sloppy".
The thing I hate most about negative reviews is that they never seem to come from anyone who has ever done something like this in their entire lives.

I got to see BB live back in 2004 and he’s was such a humble guy just a regular man. As soon as the concert started he was sitting on a metal folding chair at the edge of the stage and he said “Turn on these lights! I want to see who I’m talking to!” And I was in the third row center I could have reached out and touched him!
He played his Lucille and he told lots of very funny personal stories. Most of them were about his ex wives LOL 😂 it was soooo SPECIAL getting to see him live. What a great guy he was and we MISS you BB ♥️

Yes I bet that's a day you will always remember.I met BB king on 47st.Car Wash I washed his car and help did his bus, the was so real...

It's fascinating to see two very different career stages, years of life and levels of experience through their playing so clearly.

Oh if I had only taken guitar lessons rather than piano I'd be an old happy woman. 70 yesterday.
And its built on the respect that both of these dudes have for each other, BB is just happy that someone is left to honor what he did in the past and John is as close as he gets to star struck

Guitarists have come and gone, but no one makes the guitar sound sweeter and soulful than the king.

It sounded like two buddies having a chat. John Mayer talking about the complications of life and B.B King saying everything will be okay.
so true that it made me laugh.
Ahahah genius

By the time I reached the end of the video, I found myself with an opened mouth and a smile on my face.

Thank u , I lost my brother last year n he was a collector of sweet guitars of all kinds, I miss him
simplemente... maravilloso!!! Gracias! Música verdadera!👍👍🎵🎵👏👏🎸🎸✨✨💖
I don't see why there is so much hate on John Mayer. He was invited to play with B.B. King for a reason.

WHY PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THAT.
RIP BB KING. His sounds so smooth here, I think they complimented each other well here, aside from the tinty sound Mayer has on his guitar.For this style of music, The es 335-355 sounds so much richer and fuller for his songs. BB had a lot of style, and I appreciate his contributions to the music world.RIP BB!
Dude was also in awe the entire time, as anyone would, and I assume he didn't want to have a louder guitar, out of respect
These guys...speaking their hearts out with their guitars.....DAMN!!!!!!!
Best definition of blues
@@stellinhaboni p
Amen amen amen
I love how by the end they're finishing each other's sentences. Beautiful.
And as John Mayer once said he learned how to play blues by listening to BB King albums and practicing the songs that he heard with the hopes of playing with BB at some point and this video shows that John learned how to play the blues good enough to get the invitation from BB King to join him in this concert in Chicago and BB really does enjoy playing with John Mayer, Eric Clapton , Jeff Beck, Ronnie Woods, and others in the blue eyed blues players world just about every chance he gets as other old school masters of old school blues like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy ❤😊😅😂😮😅😊
It would've been brutal to see B.B. King in concert. That soulfulness, the cool tempo, the smooth energy coming from that guitar. His soul was in that music. He was the best. RIP, sir.
I’m a huge blues fan! It calms the soul! I never really though much of John Mayer but watching this video multiple times now I can say I have respect. The beautiful thing about the blues not one artist plays the same! Mayer played his souls out! The king gave him some lessons and Mayer seemed to just simply enjoy playing along side such a legend who gave so much to the music industry. True artists are disappearing and it’s unfortunate!
My Daughter turned me on to John Mayer and for as young as He was I knew He wasn't going to fade away. John gets Better and Better. The way he plays them strings are Fantastic and BB King the King of Blues L❤VE L❤VE L❤VE. Every guitarist has their own style Rest in Peace BB your are Missed but Never Forgotten GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations
Saludos desde Argentina - Tucumán - Pasando la Cuarentena del Covid19 con estos dos Monstruos, Excelentes.
My first UA-cam comment in years but oihhh, I have to give it to them. Simply mind blowing. Listening in from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Thanks for the upload.
11 years later, he's still improving and probably one of the best guitarist around right now! Case in point = Dead and Company tours!
John was awe struck they both sound amazing and to see someone play with their idol like this makes me feel amazing
The late BB King!! I'm feeling soulful as I listen to this!!!! whoooo this is very nice!!!
Smooth and soulful!! Love it!!
Beautiful harmony!! Blessings to the King, & to John Mayer!! What beautiful music for the soul!
I saw BB four times in concert. 2x’s in Phx, once in St Louis & once in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Loved him!!❤
I got a sweet sweet good loving feeling with these happy Rockin Blues!
BB King, é, foi, e sempre será o cara! Desconheço alguém que não curta, que não goste deste Ídolo. Simplesmente fantástico.
damnit! i was supposed to watch only the beginning but i couldnt resist and watched the full video.
Same here!
damn rite.
yeah me too man just 17 times!
Gabriel Lima me too :-)
yup... can't say I didn't...
BB KING I SEEN U IN 1997 AT THE MONTEREY BLUES FESTIVAL U ARE A MEMORY IN MY HEAD THAT BRINGS ME A SMILE EVERYTIME U POP UP THANK U BUDDY . U PROBLY GOT GOD FEELING THE SAME WAY I DID WHEN U PLAYED FOR ME
I like everyone loves this duo and this is a soulful melody.
But I just can't stop wondering, how did the drummer keep up with these 2 and their random notes. Amazing skills and kudos to the drummer
normally you follow the drummer, not the other way around
@@METTI1986LA in this setting, yes. At a rock gig, sadly the singer sets the tempo, as ridiculous as that is.
This video highlighted to me the soul and emotion BB King puts into his blues music how even masters need a lifetime of dedication to a craft to reach immortal status.
Did he have passion - immeasurably so.
R.I.P. BB King
Bb king THE 🐐 IN BLUES 💯💯💯✊✊✊✊touches my soul every time ❤️❤️🍻🍻🤘🏻🤘🏻no one will ever top him In my history books 📚
Que musicazos,yo tuve el privilegio de ver en directo a BB King
B B King is the best bluesman ever! Absolutely amazing performance! He was my best teacher online playing blues on guitar
I noticed, John Mayar when he was just 15 y/o teaching himself the guitar/blues. Every day, after school, hed hide out in his bedroom, practicing. I knew when he had gigs with local pubs, BEFORE he was of age to drink alcohol he hit it big. Not only that, he reminded me of a young Bob Dylan, BEFORE the music industry labeled him as such. To this day, I truely admire John Mayer
I can listen to this man playing for hours gives me chills every time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
BB King and John Mayer showing us what old school blues are all about no matter whose playing them😊😅😮😂❤😂❤😊❤
Wow! And Thàt's MUSIC! I'm 67, lost most of my left leg, but I sort of play guitar and the music didn't die on me. UA-cam's an ocean of memories as well as new musical experiences. Connected my tablet to a Marshall blue tooth speaker. Enjoy life, be safe!
Thanks it sounds beautifully...
Blues is a conversation still being had to this day, each personality expressed differently
BB King, i always love your songs, love blues so much xo belgium
An Eric Clapton quote,
"i don't think John actually realises how good he actually is"
Good meros temas " the charly"
Now thats a honour to be mentioned by one of the if not the all time best guitarist...
I believe he called him a master guitarist also 🎸

One of, ok … all time = not.
Wow ... what a great musical performance ... Thanks for sharing ....
I just love them both... I love how you can see John really feel the music and his voice is just so smooth. ❤ And I love BB because his guitar is an extension of him and he's not gonna be hurried by anyone! He sets the pace and that's it; the blues takes time, and he is the blues! ❤
A wonderful performance all round! I must have listened to this 200 times, it never gets old! 🎵🎶
bb king was a gift to this world..
B.B. was awesome both on his guitar and as a human being
😊I don't believe he can or will ever be replaced 😢
This man knows how lucky he his to be able to play with this legendary man
He earned it for sure tho
Never got the chance to see BB King live, really makes me sad
My first concert was J Giels band opening for them BB King I was not only hooked on the Blue's but I was and still am hooked on BB King. God rest your soul.....
Esto es impresionante verlos , son demasiados buenos ufff no tengo palabras para palabras describir esto tan magnífico!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John is killing it,so talented.how awesome would that be?being up on stage with bb.freaking king

Mr. B.B. KING will always be one the greatest guitar/singer/writer plus! He was the 1st large concert gig for me at 18 now 74 and I'll never forget being persuaded to go down front by 3 beautiful young ladies and I don't think that being the only white person among about 5,000 was any big deal! I felt great and very privileged to be asked to come down front as the place was packed and there was no room in this beautiful deep south venue and free ticket I got at the door then why not I kept telling myself! Had a great time for sure but don't remember much other than answering a question that Mr. King had asked me.
So many memories and nostalgia when listening to these classics, good music never dies. Greetings from Spain 😍
B.B. King is the tastiest blues player, and even those who are very great at the blues, thank their style's existence to B.B. King. He's no doubt up there with Robert Johnson, Django, and Wes Montgomery category of most influential guitarist.
Don't forget Howlin Wolf
Never realized John Mayer was such an amazing guitarist!!🎉
The son and the father...amazing thing to listen!!!
Went to see his show in Memphis.....sitting 3 feet from him and singing along, he stop and ask me little girl what you know about the blues? I enjoyed the show and the picture with him is still on my fridge! Love ❤️ him. This is awesome.
Hello nice meeting you
Only when musicians stop debating who is a better musician, will they be able to become better musicians. Music isn't something that's measurable. It's a story made into sound. It's emotion you can broadcast to thousands from a speaker. Music is pure, and it's easily one of the most magical things in existence.
say what you want about Mayer - but he respects the heck out of B.B. King. SRV is his biggest influence and he learned on the blues. And B.B. King knew that and was happy to be sitting next to him. period. he wouldn't have done it if he didn't want to.
I love the sound of Lucille. Such a beautiful tone
Lot of Mayer-haters here. Just appearing on stage with King speaks for itself.
Correct
WHY HE GET PLAY WITH THE BEST
Mayer is just a talented copy cat.
YEAH RIGHT????👍👍👍💯
Whenever I go back to the core of the time when music was more than I could ever be I always wander back. Enjoy the show. Man did I ever.
Yes yes nobody but the blues man himself.Lord help me it ain't nobody like BB King even though he's gone on to heaven.
ese maestro solo con tocar la guitarra hace musica 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽👏👏👏saludos desde ixtapaluca estado de mexico
Imagino a admiração que esse jovem Jhon Mayer estar tocando no mesmo palco com esse MONSTRO DO BLUE,BB KING e sua Lucille.
OH MY GOD!!.. my heart just beats as the music goes.. they two are just too good!! there's nothing to compare between two of them.
sangpelarian you must be joking. Mayer is shite
I can't tell you how tired I am of this discussion.
Under every single John Mayer video some idiots have to constantly compare Mayer to SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, B.B. King,...
I mean - what is the point of doing that?
First of all, it seems like people cannot get over the fact that Mayer is a undoubtedly great guitarist. You just can't say that he's a "bad" or average player. That's just not true!
Simply judging him on his technique, speed, touch and tone this guy is a fucking great guitarist and far above the average player.
I also think that blues lovers and Mayer critics can't get over the fact that he is so versatile. He came from Acoustic pop, went on to the blues and now ended up making two country records.
Imagine SRV writing a pop song - I don't know if he could pull it of. And he doesn't have to but all I'm saying is that Mayer succeeded in every single genre by winning Grammy's, getting great feedback by other artists and selling millions of records. To me that is what makes him such a great musician that he is a pure pop artists, while being able to play a fucking solid and beautiful blues (Out Of My Mind), and on top playing some laid back country without using all the cheesy lyrics. People can't wrap their head around someone who can do that. Step into another genre and just cracking it. Many blues players dedicated their life to Blues music and there's nothing wrong with that. But there's this Mayer guy who dedicated his life to all sorts of music so he can't be the master of every single genre he plays. Well, he's definitely on his way to become a true legend if you ask me.
Then thirdly all those people judging him and his guitar skills constantly try to argue against Mayers unassailable recognition by other artists. Clapton doesn't just say things like: 'He is a master guitar player.' for no reason. He isn't inducting SRV in the Hall Of Fame for no reason and so on.
And then there's the big discussion over his private life. Oh my God. Get a life people! When I'm interested in music I don't care about who's girl this guys sleeping with. And if you're that kind of guy you at least gotta respect him for sleeping with a list of women many of us would be happy to only shake hands with.
Imagine you're getting overpured with money and fame in your early twenties. How would you react? It's just plain naive and stupid to judge him on mistakes he made without us being in his position.
Anyway, that's just what I've been thinking.
+Maximilian Bartel I agree with that my friend !!!
Of course he doesnt have to, hes dead
+Maximilien Bartel
Mayer is a great musician but for blues he is in the average guitar player, no problem with this, in this video he overplay,notice how BB King keep the intrigue going , in mayer playing there is nothing except a bunch of notes, he needs to breath.
Agreed
It really bugs me when people make music a contest. If there is one thing in the world that should NOT be a contest it is music. Well, artistic endeavours in general. Art is subjective and about expression. Both BB King and John Mayer are undoubtedly incredible blues musicians. Neither of them needs to be labelled as better than the other. They've both blazed their own trails and are fantastic at what they do.
The eye of the master translates the ear of the master! Lovely session thank you
Thank You BB for Your Graceful moment's in Yer dressing room after Your concert in Coffeyville, KS, RIP Brother We All Love You & We'll miss Your Live Shows, A-Ka-Boy-Bone-Thaw BB!❤️
