if there's one thing I've learnt from that video, its that being a world class keyboard player is not rock and roll.... you'll always just look like a windswept prick
My new fav John Mayer song. He is sooooo talented. So talented. When I hear music, I get chills and I get that tight feeling in my stomache. Hahahaha. Good feeling. Only one other artist does that to me: Christina Aguilera.
He is so fucking great at solos. sounds like SRV.. except different. more like john mayer. ok can't explain but I would give my left testicle to play like that one day
@seb110893 At 4:22, the older guy in the middle of the crowd has the same expression. It's kind of hard not to grin after that solo. Long live the Continuum Era of John Mayer.
The only thing I don't like about John Mayer, is his voice.......I just don't think he is a good singer, but his guitar playing makes up for his voice to me......
@arafat24 Well I disagree with that though, Stevie Ray had a great voice for what he used it for, Blues... Now if he started singing Ballads his voice would have been out of place...
JM is in a TRANCE from 4:20 on! The man has serious skills, even Robbie McIntosh's face at 4:19 is priceless, he's thinking "Dayyum son that was SICK!" and from then on it only gets better
this one was Chicago (Bridgeview, IL), doing it again this summer, same venue. If you can, go ... the assembly of talent is beyond anything you'll see... I saw the first from Dallas and vowed if they did it again, I'd go ... I was @ this show... won't forget it.
holy fucking slide - john's guit player is fucking unbelievable. the energy in his solos are insane. you can fucking feel that slide through your whole body.
You can buy a set of weaker, under-wound pickups that will do essentially the same thing. It won't sound exact to Mayer, but it will get you close. It is probably nearly impossible to sound exactly like him (even if one had the big dippers) because his rig is utterly massive.

At the beginning of the song
John Mayer: "I just want you to know that all of the notes that are comming out of my guitar is dedicated to mr.B.B.King"
At the end of the song
B.B.King: "Shit son I don't need that many notes"
