I'm a Marine, I go through alot of shit everyday. I used to be a guitar player long before I joined and whenever I need a release I just listen to this music and it brings me right back home.
Man people stop arguing about Hendrix and Mayer. Simply, Hendrix was from the 60's no other guitarist like himself! And for John, there is no other guitarist in his style. So we can just simply assume that neither one can be compared to each other. Different times, different people and different genres. Enjoy the music :)
and some people insist to say that he's just a pop show man. absolutely amazing...got soul, got love, got talent. To anybody that plays and to the ones that feel the music at it really is must recognize the talent that he is nowadays in the world of music.
Best version of Wheel ever. What a good mood (it's not only the guitar solo, but all the song, and the band playing really quiet and relaxed) beautifull. And the drum fill it's absolutily amazing too! it fits so well. John is a great composer, and lyricist.It's a shame that sometimes e speakes more than he should, but fuck that . I love his music!
Anybody id those shades?? "You'll never be the first to love anyone" - johnny boy . Wow that was deep . I've listened to this song for years and just now thought about that line and how real it is. True. ❤😢
Beautiful song . John’s voice sounds real , instrumentals flow together like a small rippling creek deep in the forest 🌳 Sharing in the Wheel of life is a sacred gift.
This is my favorite version of Wheel I’ve heard throughout a long time, however the version let alone performed that evening at the venue (w/ classic Mayer “re-touching” due to being performed earlier) is absolutely exceptional. Awesome
it looks like an Am pentatonic for the first part then hops up to the next octave then uses the Dm pentatonic after that which amazes me that the Dm worked so well there
it's a sound check/private concert before the actual show, it was 4pm in the afternoon and the actual concert didn't start till 7pm technically 9pm after Brett and Colbie.
That's his SRV strat (the one witht the the special pickups that because the base for his pickups in his sig. model) that was his main axe back from 96-97 through the heavier things album. I just haven't seen him pull it out in a very long time.
you are correct, you did forget to mention the signature on the front of the headstock instead back, as where johns is on the back and stevies was on the front.
Look at the bridge. It has the left handed bridge, that's a SRV model. The JM signature has a standard right hand bridge. The texas specials in it had a weak winding in it and that gave it the unique sound.. which was the base for his JM pickups.
John Mayer can outplay Hendrix by a mile. If we're talking impact, then Hendrix has obviously had a larger impact on music and guitar. But since he's talking pure guitar skills, then it goes to Mayer.
@diogo1eli....ive been deliberating on doing so as well after watching this performance...goodlord this man has talent and his band compliment him so well
@annievolleyball333 Im with you annie all the way. Im 23 and just learning how to play. My father has played all his life and unfortunately it was just now that the musical DNA part lit up in me. If you need any critique or just another person to share music with im here. Tkae care and best of luck with learning how to play.
very pentatonic, 5 positions (CAGED). Rhythmically its swung, with "jazz" phrasing on how he accents a note then plays one quieter to make each phrase swing. Lots of call and response. Those D shape triads move in parallel. Sometimes does semiquaver triplets filling in the middle of the swung feel. He lays on the back of the beat Later on in the solo, he starts comping using the F lydian mode (you could think of it as D dorian TBH). If your unsure of what that is, theres your homework project.
great performance yet its missing the core part of the song!!! well, the part i love at least. and if you never stop when you wave goodbye you just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again... you just might wave hello again
i like the way he performs every song differently in every concert
I'm a Marine, I go through alot of shit everyday. I used to be a guitar player long before I joined and whenever I need a release I just listen to this music and it brings me right back home.
Thank you for your service. Hope things are well. I think we all feel the same way when you say that.

That solo though
The image quality is bad, but thank god for the awesome audio quality of this AMAZING JM performance. What a playing, what a TONE, I love it!
I cite this as the song that ended John Mayer the pop star and began John Mayer the artist. First time we saw that untouchable tone
He looks so good and the performance was great. For those who weren't John Mayer fans in the crowd were LUCKY.
This song grips me, favorite musician.
he jammed out hard on this. Almost a foreshadow to his Dead & Co style improv.
Good ear!
Anybody id those shades?? "You'll never be the first to love anyone" - johnny boy . Wow that was deep . I've listened to this song for years and just now thought about that line and how real it is. True. ❤😢
one of his best songs lyrics-wise.
Beautiful song . John’s voice sounds real , instrumentals flow together like a small rippling creek deep in the forest 🌳 Sharing in the Wheel of life is a sacred gift.
Yea that was the first guitar he bought when he was young. He worked at a gas station all summer to buy it its cool that he still plays it .
This solo is givin me chills...
this solo is life changing. goooooodness
Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!
the way he adds all the harmonics into it! he is a bloody legend
Damn, I love this kind of mayer so much.. :)
this is one of the tastiest songs that i have seen john mayer do.....really great sound.
This is my favorite version of Wheel I’ve heard throughout a long time, however the version let alone performed that evening at the venue (w/ classic Mayer “re-touching” due to being performed earlier) is absolutely exceptional. Awesome
Gosh.... Gotta love his tone!

I always enjoy this song. Great version!

Absolutely sublime

One of my favority YT shares of Mayer evah! Thank you!
Best Mayer solo I've ever heard.
it looks like an Am pentatonic for the first part then hops up to the next octave then uses the Dm pentatonic after that which amazes me that the Dm worked so well there
Wow thank you for sharing this! It’s amazing!!! John and all of his band are amazing!!! Perfect!!! Just Beautiful!!!❤
WOW! HE IS AMAZING, ALWAYS WAS. gotta love him xx :)
Flawless!
That was soo fun.
I loved that concert.
the way he played wheel live during 2008 is the best
This is called "Wheel" - from "Heavier Things"
John mayer es simplemente Increible..
it's a sound check/private concert before the actual show, it was 4pm in the afternoon and the actual concert didn't start till 7pm technically 9pm after Brett and Colbie.
He is and always will be THE SHIT!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this!!
what an awesome solo johnny... best version of yours i heard thus far
That's his SRV strat (the one witht the the special pickups that because the base for his pickups in his sig. model) that was his main axe back from 96-97 through the heavier things album. I just haven't seen him pull it out in a very long time.
Too mutch perfection.
God, that solo gets chilling around 4:58. I'm sure I'll never find a song I love this much. Amazing.
those who are present and those who are not, you have wonderful taste
A d o r e A d o r e JOHN
My favorite song on Heavier Things!
i still hoping you will have concert here in the philippines
you are correct, you did forget to mention the signature on the front of the headstock instead back, as where johns is on the back and stevies was on the front.
Look at the bridge. It has the left handed bridge, that's a SRV model. The JM signature has a standard right hand bridge. The texas specials in it had a weak winding in it and that gave it the unique sound.. which was the base for his JM pickups.
John Mayer is my kinda man
John Mayer can outplay Hendrix by a mile. If we're talking impact, then Hendrix has obviously had a larger impact on music and guitar. But since he's talking pure guitar skills, then it goes to Mayer.
it was sound check. local-83 got to go to them. :)
dang thats good. im just now starting to really get into heavier things and realizing how much you can do as far as jamming these songs.
@diogo1eli....ive been deliberating on doing so as well after watching this performance...goodlord this man has talent and his band compliment him so well
6:33 is very cool and relaxing :)
wow, I didn't notice that the first time! good eye tarmactrr!! =)
good luck acomplishing that !!! i want to learn too
@SEV5472 yeah.. thanks.. remembered it a few hours later.. :/
yeah I haven't really seen this one either, but he has roughly 200 or so guitars and I can only recognize at max maybe 10 of them...
That's actually his signature strat I think. That strat has the Big Dipper pickups if I recall and the SRV one has the Texas Specials.
very tasteful solo
I love this song ♥ love him too...shhhh ; )
Was it when they formed the trio that Steve became John’s full time drummer for the majority of Johns earlier years in his career?
Yuppers
There are some tunes you have to respect the quiet, this being one of them.
john mayer strat
@anthony7563 It was a sound check!
Lindo maravilhoso gostozo demais !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow wheel....... Wow
I know I'm ahead of you on the wheel... but I fell back just so you could catch up with me... need you man!
When he begins he sounds very similar to Bill Frisell!
Agreed with the drumming. No need to be super fast with ultra complex stuff... this is a good musician is.
A minor pentatonic has a shape on the Dm pentatonic!
@townbiscuit thank you kind sir
6:35-6:42 is no doubt Tears for Fears "this is my . . . four leaf clover/ nah, nah, nah, nah, nah"
there's only a performance better than that, at least that i've ever heard
i wish fender guitars came with a box of talent
why is noone there?!?!? I WANT TO GO!
@annievolleyball333 Im with you annie all the way. Im 23 and just learning how to play. My father has played all his life and unfortunately it was just now that the musical DNA part lit up in me.

can anybody tell me where on his website is this audio...??i cant find it anywhere:(
doesnt he always have a katana on? BUT he has like 2 in them in the rack so POSSIBLY and he has a linebooster next to his midi board
@ashoka4327 ...you witnessed a rare performance.
great performance yet its missing the core part of the song!!! well, the part i love at least.
and if you never stop when you wave goodbye you just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again... you just might wave hello again
its not..that srv sig is the first guitar he bought himself
Bro, this video was uploaded in 2008.
When he says "real quiet"in 6:14 he looks soooooooooooooooooooo yummy !!!!
Thanks :) What can I say... I"m a guitar nut LOL
@jpo8423
