All you guys who bitch about Mayer.. I would how well you guys can actually play the guitar..

Spend more time respecting and appreciating the music. If you dont like it, dont watch it..

[golfustevan]

I completely agree.  Quit posting how smart you are on the internet, and realize that every good musician finds their niche. Enjoy the video or stay quiet. Thanks.

You can bet your whole life that if SRV was still here... he'd be jammin with Mayer as much as their schedules would let them.

Why not right? All the legends still around have done it. (Including the rest of Double Trouble)

he really overplayed the shit out of this, I'm a usual fan but i did not like this at all

[mixwell1983]

@DarkManS32 - i believe if SRV were around to jam with John then John would've never came onto the pop scene but woulda been a bad ass blues artist but since blues in a popular genre only the blues fans would be into John.

@Satchmoeddie You cant really pirate a taped show... Especially when the artist encourages taping their shows... And it could be worse, they could have said it was a JM original song. Give them some credit and dont try to be a know it all. You just end up sounding like an ass.

Original by Guitar Slim, not SRV. great tune. RIP

Anyone who thinks John Mayer can't play blues obviously have never tried learning his songs or solos. He is undoubtedly one of the cleanest and most interesting blues guitarists, especially in terms of technique and phrasing. I suggest those people try and learn some of his live stuff from 'Where The Light Is', and then say he's not good.

[Satchmoeddie]

This is NOT an SRV song but Guitar Slim. SRV, Earl King, SRV, George Throrgood, and many others have covered this. None claim it as their own. ASCAP -- BMI have this copyrighted under Guitar Slim and not SRV. READ THE FINE PRINT. Oh yeah this is likely some pirated video, sorry I forgot. Where is the rest of the song? Was this part when security shoved the camera up you bum?

That hammond organ kills me everytime..

@xtopheraaron what if we watch it and hate it? isnt this America? we cant comment on it?

[theSuedeWade]

@thevuduchild Guitar slim did the original version and there have been a number of covers such as Earl King, Freddie King and of course SRV. Speaking of blues guitarists, Freddie King is the man and was an innovator when it comes to blues/funk guitar.
