@@theyrinthewalls There was nothing "weak" about the licks he played here at all... He obviously prefers the more grimy blues playing of someone like Hendrix than the clean bends and vibratos of BB King. It doesn't mean that one is necessarily weaker than the other...
Derek Trucks plays guitar like a soul singer. John Mayer can play blues jazz style like a virtuoso. John Frusciante can rock out and funk with amazing melodies.
John was trapped in a blues nightmare...he's a funk rock guitarist who is super creative - and you basically make him play 12 bar blues rythm for the entire interview...nice
This comment is 9 years old, but the internet is infinite and you might even get to come back tot this video somewhat fresh. With that said, i think what John mayer says afterwards is quite humble, saying that the slide can get infinitely more sounds than he can
I pretty much think John was pretty amazed at how could he play like that with a slide. He also has slide solos like Scar Tissue and Soul To Squeeze, so he surely knows how hard it is and knows what Derek was doing right there is practically impossible
Derek Trucks can just show up at a photoshoot, plug in, and get a tone that most would die for. What an absolute monster. Props to all three of these great players.
2:20 John Frusciante is so recognizable. What the other two are playing is more technical and complicated but I still like John Frusciante's unique style the most.
It’s been around for years. I saw this ages ago, but I am so happy it’s making the rounds again. Three guitar legends in an age lacking real musicianship. It’s beautiful.
In John Frusciante’s playing, he’s influenced by so many genres. The other two are mainly blues players, although masters of it. This is why for me JF is 21st century’s goat!
Mayer is the outlier here. He has everything you want and more while trucks is stuck in the he same slide world. They are both 2 leagues above frusciante
Frusciante is amazing, and I'm not hating, but to say what you just said when Derek Trucks is in the room... You must be out of your fucking mind (or just not savvy). And I don't think Frusciante would disagree. Trucks was 27 here... and already arguably the greatest slide player of all time. Seriously, don't take it from me. Fast forward to 3:08 and listen for yourself. Normal slide guitarists do NOT sound like that. And take a look at Frusciante's reaction where he stops playing and just watches. John Frusciante is one of my all-time favorites, but he is definitely NOT way above Derek Trucks... or anywhere even close.
I hate it when people start hailing and overrating John Frusciante, the world really doesn't move around him nor around an opinion about him. He said he doesn't want to be like a god up on a piedestal himself... This is the kind of people that should chill.
Thank you very much for posting this video! John is absolutely the most incredible guitarist I have ever had the privilege of witnessing play live. Ace Mr Rhodes Tracii Guns there all incredible in there own styles but my opinion, The way John improvise s his solos the loops the triads the Hendrix mixed with the slight Page style, the vintage tube amp crunch sound value's but most of all the man shares the feelings that come from his soul through that beautiful old Fender actually brings tears to my eyes damn! Sorry for the long response brings back awesome 👍 memories!
The 2 Johns are my favorite guitar players of all time, but I think they can’t be more different persons. Very interesting to see them in the same room.
It is not an offense! I'm just never understood how is it possible that someone who loves Frusciante likes Mayer too? The two people are so different, and not just in style... I think Mayer is an arrogant prick....sorry! (It's just my personal opinion)
@@alexnagy2044 well you for sure like artist, sport stars or actors that are awful people in secret, or is not that much well know. You can separate art from the artist
Mayer y Frusciante dos de mis guitarristas favoritos. Nunca supe hasta ahora que los habian juntado y jamás me lo hubiese imaginado. Ambos con dos personalidades y forma de tocar muy diferente.
@@StanAlter Ok, subjektiv. That doesn't mean they're not real artists tho. Mayer got a great voice as well, not a big fan off his work - but holy fuck, can he play the blues
@@asfgsify John Mayer is a douchebag and he pretty much just copies older black jazz and blues players. I've watched many interviews and he's really arrogant. Perfect example of someone whos success came too easy. I hate to say white privilege but he's the poster boy for white privilege.
I know with social media, there’s been a ton of players to gain loyal fan bases and reach certain stardom. Mateus Asato being one of them. But these 3 here truly are the only ones we got on a mainstream level as guitar heroes.

john mayer is actually an incredible player. you might not like his pop songs but check out the john mayer trio, he's totally underrated as a guitarist
@@cosmogamer9914 I agree. He's so talented, but there's something about him that is just so powerfully uncool. Same with Joe Bonamassa. It shouldn't matter, but it does 😂
Yep, he wouldn't be nearly as humble and actually show that he is more technical than both of them. Skip to 2 minutes in this video and look how technical Frusciante can be. ua-cam.com/video/5pnkzgIaf6c/v-deo.html
I’d really enjoy to see Frusciante and Trucks do an album together. Both of them are humble enough to perceive and appreciate each other’s talent. Imagine the mind blowing music too hot for streaming..
Stew B John Meyer is sick but not a genius sorry. Gifted hands and clean as fuck but hasn’t brought much innovation into the genre :/ Just pointing out really
Killian Paul true he hasn’t innovated much but i was just stating facts. But I mean I’d say Neon was hella innovative, releasing that in 2000 is crazy. That style wasn’t really a thing back then. But regardless hes hellaaaaaa more technical than frusciante
Very kool. May we have a version with the interview removed? I don't want to take anything away from the interview, I want to hear what these fellows have to say, and I don't care about who the better player is. We don't see nearly enough simple jams on UA-cam and this is a very good one.
But to most guitar players he's barely above average.. I love chili peppers but come on. This video doesn't give it justice. JM and DT are a few levels above
You're telling me there's a video of John Mayer and Frusciante playing together and I only find out about it now?!?!?!?!
I wished theyd talk
Dude, and Derek Trucks? All wizards.
I KNOW WHY IS THIS THE FIRST TIME IM WATCHING THIS AHH
Don’t sleep on Derek!

John Frusciante my f**kin guitar hero.
sameeeeee buddy's a legend
Jesus Christ,you even looked like him 😂
fuck you
Here’s to everyone who’s just enjoying the jam and not comparing
Only the best parents in the world would make their child learn the whole Sex Pistols album on acoustic...and then buy them a strat.
2:20 John Frusciante is so recognizable. What the other two are playing is more technical and complicated but I still like John Frusciante's unique style the most.
I agree. I was listening to this without watching and I knew that was John once my foot started tapping right there
100%
It’s crazy how i used to wonder about these two “John” jamming together ! N today is the day when I realise, it happened long ago!! Damn!!
Exactlyy
Where was this video hiding all this time.
I know right
It’s been around for years. I saw this ages ago, but I am so happy it’s making the rounds again. Three guitar legends in an age lacking real musicianship. It’s beautiful.
this is cool for many reasons but mostly just to hear Frusciante play some blues. thanks for sharing!!
Every video I watch where derek plays with other musicians they always turn and stare in awe of the things he does lol
every time!
Including the likes of phish, Santana, Clapton, the dead, the allman brothers, etc. Even BB King!!
You can just tell blues is Mayer and Trucks forte but that punk influence John has always shines through!
Exactly... in a subtle way he just says it : 'i am a punk rock guy in my heart'
If these three recorded an album together..dear god.
Takes balls to really commit to slide. It’s such a narrow avenue of versatility, but when it’s done right there’s nothing else like it on guitar.
He plays just as much without it these days, but when he was younger it was how he learned how to play.
This wasn't nearly long enough. This could have been another installment of "It Might Get Loud". It needs to be a full length feature
In John Frusciante’s playing, he’s influenced by so many genres. The other two are mainly blues players, although masters of it. This is why for me JF is 21st century’s goat!
21st century still has 80 years left
So you've never listened to john mayer before
are u sure about that? bruh
This comment is so true...
@@jimbaker5576 good guitar player but boring one dimensional
I come back to this video every now and then and always think it would be hilarious if BSSM era frusciante was here with these two.
why?
@@katalyst198 because he was an arrogant obnoxious twat lmfao (which we love btw)
@@katalyst198 cuz bssm John is a monster 💀
They should be thankful that their in the same room with most humble guy Frusciante
There is something about that slide electric that causes goosebumps.
Depends alot about the hands taking care of the slide. My wifes hair is rising and her foots are leaving the room when I take out my slide.
May the holy trinity rise again and jam once more.
Those five minutes these three musicians took out of their lives to record this video are giving me 5 terawatts of energy in 2020!
How tf did they get these 3 together. As someone else said it’d be hilarious if this was 19 year old JF here...
Rolling stone magazine around 04. They were all on the cover
@@jarrettthomas4865 Was it that long ago already?? Jesus
Derek is in another realm. Nothing taken away from John and John, they do their own things and are elite, but we only get one Derek Trucks...ever.
Except that Duane Allman and Warren Haynes came before Derek
Warren has said the same of Derek. Duane would have if he’d had the chance. Clapton has. Santana. BB King.
Mateus Asato leans into the lane of Derek Trucks pretty hard
Mayer is the outlier here. He has everything you want and more while trucks is stuck in the he same slide world. They are both 2 leagues above frusciante
jim baker educate yourself before talking. Derek plays equally as well without the slide. Quite often.
They should be thankful to be in the same room as a guitar legend like Frusciante.
Frusciante is amazing, and I'm not hating, but to say what you just said when Derek Trucks is in the room... You must be out of your fucking mind (or just not savvy).

And take a look at Frusciante's reaction where he stops playing and just watches.
John Frusciante is one of my all-time favorites, but he is definitely NOT way above Derek Trucks... or anywhere even close.
+Michael Barrett dude, chill.

Spot on Michael, Derek is on another level.
Fast forward to today and I would say the only one near him is John mayer.
I see a lot comments comparing these 3 individuals which is silly. They all have something to offer our ears. That's the beautiful art of music!!!
Thank you very much for posting this video! John is absolutely the most incredible guitarist I have ever had the privilege of witnessing play live.
