  • 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!

  • Great tribute to Jimi Hendrix! Go John!

  • murders this solo.

  • i will marry this man!

  • qwerty, he means john mayer is covering the jimi hendrix version. he wasnt saying that he did this version, he wasnt trying to cheat or anything.

  • 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.

  • this isn't a cover, this is john mayer himself playing it. cheat.

  • 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.

  • It's a cover of Hendrix you turd

  • wow your mentally retarded hendrix is the guy that made this song great mayer even used the basics of the solo that hendrix did

  • wow you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, this is a cover. And a really, really good one too.

  • Name one Performer in this day and age who could do a better cover of that song than that

  • 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

  • does anyone know how to get that kind of "hard" tone like this song

  • -Guitar

    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

  • im not that big of a john mayer fan, but this was awesome...hendrix would be proud

  • he has this in a non-live version. i heart some of the pix!! :) hes sooo cute!! :)
