Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, BB King, Eric Clapton, SRV, John Mayer, and so on and so forth are ALL FANTASTIC guitar players. Anyone could argue that someone in that group is the best ever.
But I could care less about who's the "best," John Mayer is my FAVORITE.
When that man has a guitar in his hands...the laws of physics are defied. Gravity itself dissolves into the bowels of his majestic guitar. Jews start up charity foundations, Chris Brown stops beating Rihanna. Rick Ross becomes good at rap, fat people stop eating, Aids in Africa come to a screeching halt. Simply put, he is literally the best guitar player in the world.
@pfdlep Mayer actually tells everyone to bootleg and share all of his performances. He said as long as the venue permits it bring any type of recorder you want to.
8:47, just pure magic. He is in the middle of a solo, on the ground, and lifts his hand to communicate to the band that the end is coming.... Pfff, what a control, he is a real pro!
I hate it when a ton of people sing along at concerts (unless they're told to). seriously, the audience is there to see the artist, not prove to everyone else that they're a dedicated fan. shut up and enjoy the music. because this is damn good
I've always wondered how guitars get worn like that. Do some of them not have a clear coat? Because I've been playing my fender mustang for 10 years and it still has paint in those spots. Not on the bottom in places but that's from being smashed
@axlesteel12 He actually had it custom made like that. It's not old, though there are some players with vintage guitars who certainly do have guitars that beat up. He didn't want it laquered because it "doesn't breath" so he says. I'm sure he's right, but that' guitar isn't more than 5 or 6 years old I don't think.
@axlesteel12 I literally watched a 20 minute documentary last night on youtube about that guitar. It's around but i can't find the link. I believe it's called the Black1
it's so awesome how when the beat drop everybody and their ancestor start singing=) this is my favorite white boi song....i gotta learn how to playing this on piano
I love John Mayer's music, but honestly, this video demonstrates perfectly why I do not go to concerts. Pubescent girls screaming, people yelling, yes including guys..... and singing and talking during the songs, all annoys me to no end. I prefer just to buy the CD, close my eyes, and let the music take me to another place....certainly not a shitty arena with 15,000+ girls and guys screaming during a song.
Best concert I've ever been to, such an amazing night even if it was such a struggle to travel in through NYC during the blizzard. Was completely worth it, that's how you close a show at MSG.
Best concert I've ever been to, such an amazing night even if it was such a struggle to travel in through NYC during the blizzard. Was completely worth it, that's how you close a show at MSG.
How was this video posted over a year ago and I'm only the 350th person to like it? Our generation is lucky to have a musician like John...truly amazing.
omg i was here, but at way cheaper seats lmao. trudged through the blizzard that was beginning to form to get to MSG for Jersey lmao. thank you for posting this!! great quality too!! wowww
This is the beauty of music. Everyone has a different taste and a different opinion... And in my opnion... Mayer is the better performer in terms of stagepresence.
Then again, Bonamassa is the superior guitarist. In both speed and technical skill he is way better than JM.
And so is the opinion of all major guitarmags. They cant all be wrong, can they?
as far as raw feeling/emotion.... check JB's 'if heartaches were nickels' It can easily compete with JM!!
@MegaDutchdude I greatly agree with you that bonamassa is by far better at playing the guitar. He could probably play anything BUT, as just a guy playing the guitar, i'm sure most people would rather listen to mayer. At least in my opinion he has a better connection to it and seems much more natural when he's playing it. Bonamassa could play all sorts of things but john mayer really makes a guitar sing. Joe just seems a bit robotic
@MegaDutchdude I am a guitarist too and i envy bonamassa more for all the things that he can play. But as a listener I prefer to hear what john mayer is doing. I guess as a guitarist i mainly lean to the style that john mayer plays, especially in his bluesy stuff, just straight up blues and kind of jazz licks. But thats just what i prefer to play.
He is feeling the Music deeply......I can see he is a,,,,God of Guitar.
