John was in the zone....big time...check out his guitar phrasing after the solo when he sings...dude is still soloing lines as he sings ....not easy to do and make sound that fluid and natural

[michaelanthony]

This performance is a GOLDMINE for someone aspiring to be a soloist on guitar. His technique of mixing minor and major scales is nothing short of brilliant. Not to mention the licks, phrasing, and tone. Pretty damn special.
SRV and Hendrix would be proud.

[NickJardine]

The best modern guitarist covering the best all time guitarists version of a song by the best songwriter... for the best radio host!

[Jamesyates]

His rhythm playing here is unbelievable

[nkyryry]

The harmonic squeal at 4:16 is some of the slickest shit I’ve ever seen.

[bgsjun]

He is basically soloing through the whole song. Unbelievable.

[CLH]

Wtf that solo! Mayer just never disappoints. Never. He makes sounds come out of that strat that I didn’t even know were possible

[dcarpenter]

One in ear monitor out so he can feel the groove. Absolutely in the zone.

[realtruth]

John guitar playing is just so out of this world.
Love his personality and flowing energy.
This is how greatness sounds.

[lanet.]

Dam he's good at what he does, that intro was killer.

[corprdystopia]

Perhaps one of the greatest rock songs of all time

4:22 classic mayer hyperspeed pickup switch

[xc-wild]

Respect to the opening riffs. I picture Jimmy at Montreux when I keep replaying it over and over. Wonderful.

[guitarguy]

After all these years he just keeps getting better. He is incomparable.

[vangledosh]

He's the master of rythym and solo in one.

[GabrielBPerez_]

Im watching this every day to remind myself that John is only human after

[jamesreagan]

Imagine John Mayer performing like that at your birthday party. Howard is the fucking king!!

[niekvanwensen]

4:16 that’s by far the sickest lick I have ever heard holy shii

[cmptmff]

How can music get any better than that ? Amazing
