We were actually messing around with that a lot on this tour (secondary dominance on the I chords aka V/IV going to the IV chord) so that f natural was 99% on purpose! - signed, the guy playing guitar on stage right (Zane)

If you hit a wrong note it’s the next note that you play that determines if it’s good or bad - Miles Davis

[Ravenzero-ozsf]

The way he transitioned from that "wrong note" to the minor lick was truly magnificent and he made it seemless.

I swear I hear one dude in the audience clap and cheer… he gets it😂

[MrA]

80% didnt notice. 20% did and noticed he saved it like baus

This is the guy who inspired me to pick up and learn guitar…in my late 50s. Thank you John Mayer.

The fact that he too revelled in the outcome, living in the moment, that’s what the magic of live music is all about

“There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.” -Bob Ross

[DareThink]

He described his whole personality in that solo.

Fell right back to his bag of BB king tricks.

For all you wanna be musicians who are worried about making mistakes on stage, this is evidence that even the best of the best make mistakes. It is what you do with those mistakes afterwards that matters, and this is how you handle it. Very well done!

[bloodtalon]

I love how the guitar is a representation of how he's feeling. He was laughing and his playing got a bit brigher and more excited.

[yotamgeller]

He went by mistake to the F natural note, which is the 7th note in G minor scale. That’s why when he switched from major to minor pentatonic, its sounds great

[saveyoursouls]

He’s a kid at play, and loving it. Pure Joy shared with others. Play on John, play on!

[LeroyVW]

John Mayer is an amazing guitar player and vocalist. I really enjoyed watching the Crossroads episode with John and Keith Urban.

[Kyhoodhero]

No one else even realized except for him and the band. So sick. Only the greats can go out of key and still bring it back right

[Vic-Valentine]

as a guitarist you get those to secs of panic when hitting a note like that, and the note you play next either makes it the best thing ever or worst, this was a sick save

[mitchelltaylor]

Man watching shit like this makes me cry and remember why I am so in love with and passionate about playing music. Music is magic.

[complexity]

To play with that level of confidence infront of that many people with that level of skill takes courage
