    This guy is the "virtuoso" of THIS time. Awesome performances, specially those with the "Trio" (without a "second", "third" guitarrist, without keybords, nothing ). In the future will be considered a GuitarHero, I have no doubts. He masters his instrument as few NEVER did before - he is very versatile and skilled musician and composer.

      @@BatmanHQYT I think the trio setting just allows for more interplay between the musicians since there is so much more space left to play around with compared to a large full band. I don’t mind hearing John, Pino, and Steve go off a bit. Fun to listen to

    If this doesn't confirm for you that Mayer is an absolute monster on guitar, I want you to go learn this song but make sure you are jumping up and down like the Energizer Bunny while you play it. After that come back and tell me you still feel the same way. Mayer is a top 10 guitarist easily. Really think about how easy it is to fill 10 spots too. I'm not even saying they have to still be alive either. Think about that .

    I'm really interested in how you would properly notate this song. Most of the scores I have looked at vary. It is not really in the key of D or A as such. I suspect one way to look at the verse would be to consider it in A mixolydian, which shouldn't even have a key signature, as the main riff is on an A7 chord (which is simply a I7 blues chord if it is a blues in A). The chorus seems to be more in F# Blues and maybe that works for the whole song (as it moves between C and C# notes), but still not sure what the key signature should be then. I am not a guitarist and would be interested in what experienced guitarists could suggest would be the best choice of mode or scale for soloing over this song.
