John Mayer trips me out..He does take his instrument seriously i guess i gotta give him that..For a pop artist he's got the right influences"well the blues anyway" and then theres Hendrix!..Not to mention he gets so much pussy..He's definitely doing something right! For a preppy guy he trips me out!
As the "owner" of this video( who is female and not male haha), Skins is right. I never said that John is a cheat, he's just playing a song that Jimi Hendrix once played and is playing it to pay tribute to how great Hendrix was when he was alive. Plain and simple that's what it is. Jimi is one of John's idols and he wants to honor his memory. That's it. If anyone has a problem with with that, get over it.
maybe, he thinks that john mayer is coverign the song, and thats why it says cover. read the discription: John Mayer pics with his cover of "Bold as Love" playing in the background
he obviously believes this is a COVER done by john mayer.
hey you know what if you dont like this kind of music then dont listen to it i sick of seeing people like you writeing like this about pure talent fuck you
omg i dont know if anyone noticed but he messed up on parts of this song of course he quickly recovered but it shows that he is human, and makes me feel better about my guitar playing. for example 3:59 he messes up
Youtube and stuff wasn't around when Hendrix was around. I'm sure hendrix screwed up a lot too but youtube and taping has made people much more exposed than they used to be. So now every show has to be perfect or else, when it's posted on youtube, everyone thinks you suck. i'ts hard to be perfect every single show.....
i never said he sucked lol i love john mayer and i know hendrix messed up alot. he was a lil sloppy he was still fucken awesome too. you gotta figure they prob play like over 700 single notes a song. if u mess up on 5 outta 700 notes, thats not too shabby lol
strat, add some Texas Special pickups, Solid Alder Body, Rosewood neck
-Amps
Either- Fender Hotrod Deluxe, Fender blues jr., (replace speakers with celestion vintage 30's on fenders)
-Playing style
Use a heavier pick about 1 mm and really dig deep and beat the shit outta ur strings when u play. u want to let your dynamics break up the sound a bit so it sounds almost distorted.
-settings
highest to lowest Bass Trem Mid. A bit of reverb and presence at about 1/2 to 3/4 even more

I'm aware what a cover is, this doesn't count as a cover, this is a slap in the face to music in general.
