that wasnt a bad solo at all. Just because it wasnt super complex doenst make it terrible, it went with the feeling of the song and the feeling of that performance
Why did JJ Johnson stop playing with mayer?! I love that guy! Does Steve Jordan still record with him? And are the trio still alive? Im so confused, I liked it how it was in 2005-7
You gotta admit the kid's got talent.. Stop hating guys, with all the shit we have wrong in music today when some kid like this comes you gotta give it up for him.
Alright, I just discovered this kid with an amazing voice! I'm not joking around either. He does an amazing cover to this song, and he also has many more covers. If you love this song, you have to listen to this kid! I was quite surprised when I heard him. Please watch and comment on his videos. I want to see this kid go somewhere someday!

When he sing "The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear" - can it be, that it's a reference to Thom Yorkes song "The Eraser"? Well, I'm doubting heavily.
@jerowenlugte I think the solo doesn't fit the song very well. The LA version fits much better. Personal opinion only! Maybe I don't know music deep enough.
@hyperraiden I love both solos, but you can tell that the LA "solo" was not an off-the-cuff riff... he's played that or a similar version of it before. This you can tell is right on the spot, which is why it might sound sloppier than the LA one, but that's what makes me like this one more. You can also tell he's thinking of what to do next on the repeated bends. There really aren't many true solos that are as calculated and clean as the LA solo.
Hi ! I am an 18 year old musician and I just made a cover of John Mayer's The hurt. Now I don't usually promote myself here that much but hey the mood strikes me now and since my first album is on its way I thought it would be a proper thing to do haha :D Anyways you can find the cover on my channel, so go check it out and I hope you enjoy ! - Tomi Saario
@iplayguitar420 Now that I listen to this solo back, you're right. 'Live in LA' was perfect. Anyway, all of his solos for this song are great!! I love them all.
@LouieLand That is what the blues. Even if it isn't 'supposed' to fit you play it anyways cuz it feels right. And actually, jazz and blues aren't really so different. A lot of the musical elements as far as note structure and things go they are very similar. Both come from the soul :)
My ear isn't trained well-enough to know for sure, but it sounds to me that when he's soloing higher up on the neck, like at 4:58, he's adding notes from maybe the major scale when the song is in a minor key? It just sounds off to me sometimes, but not all of the time, which makes me wonder if he's mostly in the right key, just adding some "wrong" notes. Again, this is just an impression I'm getting. Anyone with a better ear know what's going on?
@LouieLand John Mayer is known for that, he likes to add notes that sound "out of scale" Yes they are out of scale, but in his music they all fit. It's like in Why Georgia the main riff contains an A note. It's not in the scale, but it still fits. (:
@heavydous Aha, that's what I thought. Thanks mans. Yeah, it doesn't really do anything for me, but then again, that's also probably because I don't expect it from the genre, whereas it's something I'm anticipating in jazz. That said, I do love this song, just not really those aspects of it. Guess that's what we'd call taste!
@KimCheeHuu i know how ya feel! i never really liked him because the media made him out to be some jerk and then one day I stumbled up on "Clarity" and my obsession grew from there lol :) he is an amazing artist
Now don't go hating on me.. I <3 JM's music. ^^
