The hate spewed towards JM usually stems from emotion or distaste for the type of music he puts out. Emotional feelings aside, no one can genuinely disregard JM's genius level mastery of the instrument. His musical knowledge and overskill is unmatched by 99% of fellow guitar players. Once in a generation kinda player no question. If Eric Clapton refers to JM as a masterclass guitarist, then that's saying a lot!
Interesting comment..if you played this for me blindfolded,...I would have said srv in the intro...but then would have said..wait....no.,..that ain't srv,..but.,.not bad,...but,...again....do we really need jm to cover srv...?.…..not really..,.
This is an excellent cover of my favorite version of 'So Excited' by SRV - nice job JM! And FYI, 'Testify' from El Mocambo is another great song from that show.
No shit he isn't going to sound like Stevie. But to say burn all of your mayer records lmao that's like saying burn all your Stevie records because he tried to sound like Hendrix.
Damn this is what you will sound like if you dedicate yourself to what you love
Ait I will not dissapoint you.
I can only imagine what it would be like to have been there. The Viper Room is tiny.
Fun fact: this is the first show that the BLK one was played at publicly.
That’s pretty cool. Wish there was video footage
those bends.... feels familiar
THE BEGINNING SOUNDS JUST LIKE STEVIE!
A strat plugged into a cooking Fender amp will get you about 95% of the way there
@@imCurveee i know but his intensity, timing and vibrato was on point aswell
@@imCurveee Its all about attack and inflection. Anyone can play the licks but its truly about how you articulate them and carry momentum through them
Srv is one artist that is impossible to replicate. Many have tried none have succeeded
Agree, but John sure captures the spirit of his playing as well as just about anyone I've heard try.
@@alexcorll90 so so true. I'm a huge srv fan.
only 2.5k views??? this shit hard asf
Uau demais ....🎸👑🥰
anyone know the song?
It's called "So Excited"
Definitely go look at Stevie’s version from el mocambo. John does Stevie great justice but ain’t no one ever gonna do it like Stevie did
SRV IS THE MASTER!!!!😈
1:26 a little slip up from his back up band there..😀
sounds like srv.
Did he exit or excite 🤔
♥♥3
Good job but I feel you only 29 seconds at a time for srv baby
Bet he can't play it behind his back.
Listen to stevie off live at the mocambo an burn your Mayer records
That’s a bit aggressive don’t you think? Mayer is a phenomenal guitarist. No reason to bash him.

Nice try...
Doesn't sound anything like SRV. Sounds more like Buddy Guy, with band-aids on his fingers.
No one said it did? Like no shit a dude that isn't srv isn't going to sound like srv. Take the stick out of your ass and go enjoy some music.
@@BrendanOriginal I do enjoy music. Just not this guy, whoever he is.
@@whyis45stillalive whoever he is? You haven’t heard of John Mayer?
I’m not a fan of this guy but he definitely has that srv sound. Quit hating just cause your jealous he can play better than you.
@@hendrixj9901 His attack is way too weak. His tone is shallow. He plays technically well, he just has no 'soul'.
