I introduced my guitar teacher to John Mayer...

Will there be more vids of these reactions?

Does he know SRV or Hendrix?

You can pull up many videos of John doing this song, and the solos are always different. But one thing holds true... 9 months later, there is a guitar born that looks like John Mayer

He shouldn’t be a guitar teacher if he hasn’t gotten into Mayer

Your guitar teacher doesn’t know John Mayer?
How stupid do you think we are
Shame on you both

Having Pino on stage with him is JMs biggest flex

John Mayer loves Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall II, Jimi Hendrix and tons of other players, what you're hearing when he pulls those double note bends, is Albert King. Hell, most of John's blues playing is Albert King.

JM is a complete artist, others are your everyday guitar player, except vai who is also an artist himself..... the difference you ask , every tom dick and Harry can play a riff, shred , this that and the other...... but very few can compose something that breaks the boundary of genre, age group and gender, and mature like fine wine...... if you don't agree , you are a below average non musician, who can't tell a note from a beat

A perfect example of playing the guitar with your whole body.

A guitar teacher who dont know John Mayer 🤔

I introduced my gardener to plants

Doesn't suck that you have Pino holding down the groove.

This is my second fav performance of John's, the other being Covered In Rain from a super old live album. He's so good at leaving meaningful spaces between the phrases of his solos, and at getting a killer tone and feel from the guitar thats right on the edge of precision and dirty. This performance in perticular he gets so many amazing tones from that 335, which he almost never plays live. It's almost always a strat of some kind

I don’t know him but I’ve had to teach my students neon???

If your guitar teacher has never heard of the name John Mayer, you maybe should get a new teacher.

Check out the live version of wild blue. Has a great solo

I think your trying to say, Not play less, let it breath

Yeah John mayer was also a big fan of BB King

"like if BB King went to berklee" might be the most apt description of john mayer's playing i have ever heard

How are you a guitar teacher and you dont actually know or listen Mayer

Your guitar teacher …. Doesn’t know Mayer …. It’s been 25 years since John made waves. He has the number one selling guitar on earth. The number one selling used guitar, the greatest guitar album of the last 40 years , I would not take lessons from someone who not only doesn’t know Mayer. But doesn’t worship Mayer.

John plays guitar in pure flow state.

This is like showing your math professor Albert Einstein for the first time lol

Wow, if you have to introduce your guitar teacher to John Mayer, then I’m embarrassed for he and you! See what I did there?

John Mayers best guitar playing are the times he is playing live with Dead and Co. Especially this past ‘23 Summer Tour. Dude is in an absolute league of his own.

IMO John Mayer is the best possible ambassador you could have to carry blues music through the 21st century. That dude is extremely well respected by B.B., Buddy, and Slowhand.

Pretty good, but Steve Rayvon was still the king of electric blues I don’t care what anyone says

He makes music of substance accessible

There is a fluency and complete literacy in playing like this.

I would say Alex Turner is the only guitar/singer that is crazier than john

David Bromberg does that thumb over the top thing

Yeah he had a conversation with Steve Jordan. And he told him something like “why play 20 notes, when you only need the 3 right notes”. And to me that’s when he really started playing less when it was called for.

I get that he popularised the guitar in times when the guitar seemed to be forgotten, and therefore we feel to read into his playing things that are simply not there, but there is nothing there. He is a very average guitar player, which just happens to be popular. What he is doing is realistically simple, and stuff that wouldn’t even be level 1 for an average jazz player. I get that people like him and his playing, but this is just pop, and therefore inherently average. Just my two cents.

STV is his idol need I say anymore ❤❤❤

Pino in the background on bass... Nice👍

Lol. And this is the vid you wanna introduce John Mayer? I hope this is a joke coz you'll have to throw him back to when he played Neon a decade ago in a small bar with an acoustic guitar. Not to mention the live arrangement of Covered In Rain. Dude find a new teacher.

How is he teaching guitar and he doesn't know who John Mayer is?😢

If you have to introduce your guitar teacher to John Mayer then you need a new teacher. To be that ignorant of one of the greatest guitarists ever is crazy.

You should let him see John Mayer in colloberation with Keith Urban.

I introduced Jesus to a priest

change your teacher if he doesn't know john mayer..😂

All around, dynamics, picking , tone, feeling. I’d have to say this is one of thee best guitar solos I’ve ever heard

He can play the guitar like he was ringing a bell. I think he's had that thing in his hands every day for 30 years

What year was this Crossroads?

wtf, is he dumb?

i felt he plays more like albert king here with the muscle in it but goes down to bb sometimes to the subtle stuff

john is musician's musician

Umm oh umm hahah umm yeah yeah umm oh ha ok yeh umm
