  • Where the light is just goes to show just how ridiculously talented this guy is at guitar. He might be a top ten guitarist of all time..

  • sometimes i think john watches these videos and is just like "im fuckin awesome"

  • 12 memebers of the justin beiber fan club are on a mission to dislike every john mayer song

  • I'm always close to peeing when the "wherever I go" part starts..

  • I loved this song as soon as I heard it on 'Room for Squares'. I think it's brilliant. I didn't think it was possible for it to get more amazing. I stand corrected.

    I love you, Mr Mayer.

  • never listened to john mayer before and......DAMN

  • most of my friends dont even know john mayer and those who him think that he is gay

    i mean i feel so angry when i hear them criticise such an amazing and awesome artist like JM and BTW he is my fav singer right now

  • Is there another recording of this? Like with his band or is it just acoustic?

  • @jrckr1 there's the Room For Squares version which is with a band, you could find him playing it with the Trio as well.

  • ....I just peed my pants. <3

  • @ayari2300 i just pre'd my pants.

  • He's better Live than he's playing in studio! Best you can find

  • incredible guitar part . . . .

  • @giannisomagas and sometimes he doesn't look at the guitar....

  • He's just sitting there with his guitar, spotlight on him, thousands watching his every move. What a performance!

  • the fact that he can play that and sing at the same time proves john mayer is the real deal.

  • From the top of my head, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. And Jack White. Notice that I did acknowledge Mayer´s work.

  • Comment removed

  • He´s a great player. But best of our generation is a MAJOR overstatement.

  • @siricascudo18 ok, so show me one better. I'm not a Mayer Fan-Boy.

  • @siricascudo18 yeah dude you're an idiot this guy has sick mad crazy skills. so much that nobody in the world can pick like he can and critics even admit that he created a whole new style of guitar playing. who's better? clapton? stevie ray? they're good but not in our generation. name someone better? u can't cuz they don't exist IN OUR GENERATION

  • @specr77 Not to be bitchin, but we do have John Frusciante in this same generation.. But I won't take it further because, they are two different guitar players, and both equally good in the way they play. But still, he shouldn't be forgotten.

  • its just not fair.

  • mayer is a mix of clapton and pop music

  • I'd kill to have mayer's right hand.

  • @ultimatewarrior666 i'd kill to have his left

  • @ultimatewarrior666 yea dude LOL you literally made me lol

  • Listen to some Tommy Emmanuel, and then talk to me about crazy acoustic playing.

  • One of the best acoustic songs ever made. I'm glad I got it down, but no where near John. Fcking legend

  • It's hard to play. But not as hard as you all are acting. Learn the awkward chords hes using, practicing swapping between them, and get the ryhthm down. The legato doesn't get too advanced till the end.

  • man i swear if i could sing and play guitar like him i would have any girl i'd ever want. and it kills me lol

  • And people wonder why bitches line up for this guy?? Fucking WINNING!!!

  • @mickmobile winning what?

  • @austinha11 LOL just winning.

  • @mickmobile im confused

  • @austinha11 Do you know who Charlie Sheen is?

  • you cannot truely respect this song until you learn how to play it...

  • @RADIOWAVE2010

    I know, right.

    I've been playing guitar for about 9 years now and I've conquered many of the songs thought to be the 'most difficult'. I looked at this and half shat/creamed my pants, hahahaha.

  • @MarcusTheMadLad

    Ya i know right?....i sort of got it down, check it out on our channel. but theres like no tabs anywhere

  • Comment removed

  • possibly one of the greatest live acoustic performances ever.

  • 4:15 - 4:40 .... Amazing

  • This gave me chills.

  • He can be the neon to my orange.

  • I LOVE his guitar playin'

  • I don't really like Mayer that much. Just not really my style. But I can easily watch this whole show and be entertained just because of how impressive he is live.

  • JOHN MAYER = <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 AHHHHHHHHHH

  • pure genious - all of it, the music, the lyrics, the playing, the singing

  • Learn a mayer song on a guitar, you get laid, guranteed

  • @misinglink15 Yeah. I learned the whole continuum album and sure enough I got laid. This guy is not kidding.

  • @minhdiszles good on you, but you learned the album for the wrong reason, haha

  • @kontolraksasa not really i was jk about that comment. I mean I did get laid but that's not the reason why I learned the whole album. I know just about all of his songs because I'm one of his biggest fans no lie. I have my first john mayer mixed CD that i ever made and I still listen to it in the car til this day. since junior year of highschool baby!

  • @misinglink15 ive got a few covers of his songs up on my page...can i get laid?! lmao...my skill is no where near him in anyway but girls wont notice..hopefully...-_-

  • The way he plays his guitar at the start almost sounds like an upright bass. Weird. Crazy skill.

  • He's one of the best there is..:-)

  • this is one of the very few artists that can perform live and not sound horrible. now a days it's all about auto tune x_X. good job John Mayer.

  • That top sting hammer on actions around 4:30 is crazzzzzzzzy

  • That's the most chill concert crowd I've EVER seen.

  • 9 ppl forgot to clean their earwax and just couldnt hear well.

  • He is soo underrated. One of the greatest musicians of our generation.

  • @MrsLautner4lyf Not one of the greatest. He Is the greatest

  • one of the best, if not the best (singer, songwriter, guitar player, and performer) of all time!!!!

  • 9 people don't know where the light is ! U_u'

  • JOHN MAYER IS LIKE A FUCKING AMAZING DUDE

  • Say what you will about Mayer, but he's one of the best live performers in the business.

  • that is one bad mother.

  • Comment removed

  • ridiculous thumb action going on there

  • mayer can shred hahaha

  • i would suck his d

  • @thoughtshape he doesn't even need to practice that hard. he was born this way... it's not a matter of how many hours you spend in your room with a guitar, when you got the talent you got it.

  • I just got a boner thinking of the girls he gets with his insane guitar playing and singing..At the same time .. :o

  • @Guitar4sanity yeah, it's incredible. xP

  • good evening (switchs to toughts) *and now I am going to play the shit out of this guitar*

  • You can't figure out how he doest that.. Because it isn't human..

  • This concert was absolutely amazing.

  • @wazupjaghetermaya åååååååååh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! var du där?

  • @iidaw nejnej, var inte där, men den var absolutely amazing ändå, haha :( har bara hört cd:n och sett på dvd:n, men att döma utav de, så är konserten heelt fantastisk! :) jag önskar att jag hade varit där!!

  • @iidaw förlåt för otroligt segt svar, men kan inte kolla på den här videon längre!! var tvungen att gå till bara kommentarerna till videon och det tog ett tag att märka att du hade svarat! :O men OMG, jag önskade mig också den i julklapp!!!!! och jag fick den, blev så jävla glad :) HAHA så var det för mig med, det var det största skälet! ;) hur visste du att han inte har några planer på att komma till sverige? :O

  • Greatest guitar player of our generation

  • @dwolfggc I agree and you have to see it in person to believe it.

  • @dwolfggc Amazing guitar player, the best one for sure!

  • @dwolfggc that depends on what style u like but yeah hes my favorite too!

  • @dwolfggc you are clearly not a good guitarist. Shawn Lane shits all over him, as does Guthrie and so many others. He's a great musician and song writer but not the best.

  • @dwolfggc

    That would be Derek Trucks in my humble opinion, I love john too though. There's no competition though , it's all music. But check out Derek Trucks he's just so musical man

  • @dwolfggc I love John but I think Joe Bonamassa is a better guitarist but worse song writer (they are the same age)

  • @MiniMousePoo2 Yeah, I really meant it in more the Jimi Hendrix sense. Jimi defined a generation of guitar players and I think John will do the same. Jimi wasn't the most technically proficient player around in the his era (who can even judge that anyway) and neither is John, but i think in 30 or 40 years John is the one everyone will remember just Jimi is the one everyone remembers from his era.

  • @dwolfggc sadly, people wont remember him as much as a guitarist but more as a song writer. i cant stand John Mayer. but his guitar playing is superb!! He will never come close to the revolution Hendrix started. he is not even close. The vast majority of Mayer's fans are people who love his sappy little love songs, not his guitar styles. Hendrix could have walked on stage and played twinkle twinkle and blown people away, mayer cant come close.

  • @the80sareawesome1

    i laugh when i see people saying his not this good. He's really epic. If you see all the Mayer's stuff, u will be sure he's the greatest guitar player of our generation. In my opinion, after Hendrix, SRV came, and now John Mayer

  • this might be one of the coolest riffs ever written. including the intro jam...

  • Comment removed

  • why do you fools always respond with the same crap? Now I dont know what a guitar is just because I have a differing opinion. You clowns are the epitome of ignorance. Somebody could say Wes Montgomery wasnt a good guitarists and Ill respect ther opinion even though Wes was a genius TO ME. Half you fucks dont even know who Wes is. stop replying to me. you guys are beneath me.. plz

  • @atl2maryland you cant say someone is a bad guitarist when he actually isn't.. You can say you don't like his songs, or even his style.. But again.. You can't say he's not good with a guitar when he really is..

    You're stupid if you can't tell the difference, therefore you're still not above me, or anyone here nor will you ever be..

  • 7 people must've accidently hit dislike.....seriously this guy is darn good.

  • unbelieveable. raw talent

  • OMG I LISTEN TO THIS CD EVERYDAY! NOT EVEN KIDDING.

  • other than regi wooten i've never heard slapping done on a guitar, and that was absolutely amazing.

  • sloppy technique

  • @atl2maryland why would you even say that? you just had to say something bad didnt you?

  • @atl2maryland idiot.

  • @atl2maryland wow. i bet u dont even play guitar

  • @atl2maryland wow. i bet u dont even play guitar

  • @atl2maryland wow, you probably dont even play guitar. and its not sloppy he just does what he wants. unlike a probably 12 year old boy who can only have fun by commenting on youtube

  • @atl2maryland post a video showing me that you have a better technique than him and i'll accept it

  • @acousticheadphones I dont have anything to prove to youtube my man... otherwise it wouldnt be a bad idea

  • @atl2maryland leave this guy alone because he must have down syndrome!!

  • @atl2maryland

    hahahahha you are retarded sir. You dont know what a guitar is

  • @atl2maryland sloppy technique? really? lmao

  • @0wnt1 yeah what the fuck. this is precision

  • TEACH THE ME FUCKIN BREAKDOWN!

  • why does everyone try to compare one guitarist to another....they were all great in their time and john is the greatest of his time...one doesnt have to be better than another so lets just enjoy it

  • i saw him 3 nights ago... rocked my world

  • I can't weigh in on who is better or who is worse... all I know is that this literally never gets old.

  • I agree, claptons seal of approval is an amazing achievement. However, I believe that Mayers technical abilities and skills far surpass Claptons, but their styles originated in two different generations, so that could be why. Either way, This song is technically and melodically amazing.

  • I think he is maybe better then clapton, meaby not in everything but clapton couldn't play acoustic that good. He didn't had a fingerstyle you know. And john mayer has a really own fingerstyle and that thumb thing etc meaby clapton is better at electric but I won't compere them (this is a reaction of a very old reaction of someone xd)

  • @ocht6030 rolling stone called him the clapton of my generation. (i'm 24) I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU!!! It's funny because when i was in high school people would make fun of john mayer and his style. They would say things like, i'm gonna go home and sit in the dark and listen to john mayer and cut myself (trying to be sarcastic) but secretly we were all listening to john mayer they just didn't want anyone to know it.

  • @ocht6030 Can't play acoustic that good? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm a Mayer fan but that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Have you ever even seen Clapton play an acoustic guitar? Do you play guitar? Are you brain dead?

  • Whoa. Not only is he hot, but he's also a great lyricist. And he's a freaking awesome guitar player. I love this guy.

  • He is made of mad talent. Absolutely phenomenal guitar playing. John Mayer is THE man.

  • that's just how badass he is.

  • @Paradisecity1992 all one guitar and one man my friend, thats just how amazing he is

  • talent. holy hell

  • john mayer never ceases to amaze me...

    i loveeeeeee him.

  • legend!

  • Does he use his thumb at the bass?

  • @Christiannck yup

  • In a sense, He uses it mainly for the top 3 strings. He uses this technique so he can pick faster and play multiple strings at once to come up with good sounds like this !

  • I was just about to ask the same question Christiannck, It sounded deeper to me too

  • Best start sole i've heard !

  • well if you want to this you have to practise like my father did he was 7 years old when he started and practiced every day 7 hours long

  • heel goed bedankt

  • im going to go watch this guy play in seattle on march 31st its going to be sweet as hell. cant wait he is so ridiculously skilled i cant even believe it sometimes.

  • Crazy gat stuff man hahaha

  • Damn, i would give much for those guitar skills! If im ever gonna get that kind of skill i need to practice as i do the next 3 years or something..

  • 4:05 shows you amazing skillz!!!

  • dayum!!!!!

  • i know thats what i was about to say!!! thats the one word!!

  • goosebumps man

  • frickin amazing

  • i....still...can't...figure...­out how he does that riff and sing at the same time dammit!

  • I would have to guess that he rehearsed more than once!

  • just takes practice really. if you can sing and play other songs it comes to you faster. once you get the riff down and know what your singing just practice it youll surprise yourself

  • yeah, practice's hard to come by nowadays actually, i got promotion exams on till mid october.

  • ouch bro. well dude anytime you have free instead of maybe watchin tv or somethin jam a little bit on the guitar. all it takes is practice even ask the legends. good luck man, on the exams and on the guitar. hard work pays off

  • hey, thanks.

    actually most of my time for this month is either surfing for a bit or just plain studying, so after that...YEAH

  • I just tought the same, I just learn the song and is tricky enough getting it done..

  • @Yunero I can do it but it takes a shit load of practice haha not an easy thing thats for sure !

  • @Yunero not only does he do it... He does it very well.

  • @Yunero im with ya on that

  • @Yunero YEAH, IT's totally............ FUCKED Up xP i mean... he's so good. goddamn it. i wish I was locked away for 8 years playing guitar.

  • @bananforhud svenne?

  • @Yunero i can't figure how he does the riff! the singing it's an extra difficulty.

  • @Yunero he's the best in the world

  • @Yunero I can't either hahaha. Wow, he's ace.

  • @Yunero I know. He's John Mayer.

  • @Yunero

    simple. practice. 

  • I keep replaying this :D

  • this is one of my favorite songs and it was posted on my birthday :)

  • just tabbed out the intro! the link is in my profile underneath my name (cant post link in comments)

  • i tried it but it didnt work.. can u try again?

  • i deleted the tabs because they were just pictures of the pages that i tabbed out cause i was too lazy to type them out, but ill type them out soon and leave a link on this and all the other neon videos so ul be able to find it

  • I FUCKING LOVE JOHN MAYER!!!

  • one of the best comments ive seen!

  • hahahahahaha yeah if im not complimenting him im complimenting myself, i can play this osng but not the improvisation haha
