Mayer is the Clapton of my generation and I'm happy to have been able to follow him from his early days till date. Can't wait to see what more he has in store for us.

Big nod to Mark Knopfler by John. Stellar playing as usual.

There is nothing like seeing John Mayer in person. ❤🎶

Mayer is crushing both on his own beautiful music, as well as his incredible live performances with Dead and Company…his extended solos and exploration of the intricacies of the melodies and grooves are simply awe inspiring…I learn something every time I watch and listen to him play.😀🎸🔥thanks for this deep dive into Wild Blue👍

Best song on the album, imho. It really shows his influences of Knopfler, Cale and the Grateful Dead, and yet his own voice shines through in both the writing and performance. Super tasteful all around. Great job again, Michael!

I never cared for John Mayer back when I was in high school and he emerged on the scene. Songs like "No Such Thing" and "Your Body is a Wonderland" grinded against the rock aesthetic my buddies and I worshipped when we'd sit around and watch the Woodstock documentary over and over. Now, as an adult, I've come to appreciate his diversity and skill as a guitar player and singer/songwriter and his ability to shift from pop icon to jam band rocker. Impressive work on his part. I found it interesting how Rick Beato referred to him as the "last guitar god" or something like that, as he seems to be the last guitar-centered musician that can fill a stadium. I also liked how Mayer handled Mary Spender finishing "Last Train Home" before he'd even released it. Class act, there!

Thanks for the content! Amazing stuff as always

I hear The Eagles, i hear Mark Knopfler, i hear Fleetwood Mac..and i love John's playing, good trip!

John Mayer balance's his melodicness with his guitar chops it makes such catchy songs. Ive been to one of John Mayer's concerts years ago and his sound people are the best, great mix.

[jacobtillman]

YES I just spent like three days learning the parts for this and was having such a blast ! So refreshing to see this after that exploration, deeper than I ever knew!

I know very little about guitar playing and would always shy away from guitarists going off on long riffs. And then I listened to John . You explain so well about his use of melody throughout a riff. It's what kept me drawn to his music and now I can't wait for those parts, the longer the better. It's mesmerizing.

I feel lucky to be alive and able to appreciate music the way I do while John remains in his prime

[MrMusicMan]

Michael: we aren’t gonna go note-by-note
Also Michael: proceeds to figure out the entire solo note-by-note 😂

[adamschechter]

great video. JM is a modern day blues guitar master who is also a mainstream artist, not an easy feat.
ive grown more and more to appreciate him and his amazing feel and melodicism. when i was younger i was into more flashy and technical playing, but now i just love it when i hear a dude make the guitar literally sing.

and Knopfler and JJ Cale influence all over this one.

[RMDx]

Awesome breakdown. Mayer was absolutely flawless on this one.

[deep]

This video show how great jhon mayer guitar player.

I geeked out really hard when I watched this performance the first time right where you did around the 21 minute mark--where he hit that huge slide down on the third string seemingly out of nowhere. Sob Rock is not my favorite album of his, but, seeing you analyze this performance really helps me appreciate the genius of his craft. The dude never stops learning, growing, and challenging himself.

[georgecapon]

I swear, every video of yours I watch brings me further along in my development as a musician, thank you Michael 🙏

[bhvithai]

What a great breakdown of the chord structures and progression. Thanks!

[eMJay]

The whole record is so so awesome. So is this Channel. Thats the reason why i watched this video quite a few times. It brings together two things I like - John and Michael 😎🙌🏻
