There’s a huge crowd in front of him, but John mayer is only trying to impress one man.

[vipakat]

If you're a musician, you'll more inclined to understand that this isn't a competition.
It's a conversation.

Morgan freeman + Morgan freeman = B.B king

[msve]

When BB King said " you keep that up imma get up and walk outta here" even I was like "okay ill be quiet now" ..

[kodekx]

every night, i have the same nightmare bb king points at me that its my turn to take the lead and then i wake up with my heart racing

[willsevy]

Good looking, jokester, gets all the the girls, and guitar playing as vibrant as his age... ah bb king what a guy

[ACoustaDC]

No matter HOW good your are.... It takes HUGE BALLS to play next to BB like that. I would be shaking in my boots!

[aaronjae]

BB King been playing the same 5 chords for 60 years and it still hits. It's that feeling behind it that drives it.

[yukigaming]

BB King is the perfect example of the saying “Less is more”

[FreakingRockstar]

You could see the age behind the guitars. Blues is a conversation, BB King is a wise experienced man...his words are slow, smooth, and clear. He's one of those speakers that doesn't have to speak loud for everyone to listen, people just know what he's about to say is good so they want to listen. While John Mayer is like a recent college graduate, he has a ton of highly technical knowledge and an expansive education and he's excited to share it with everyone so he speaks fast, almost tripping over his words. He has a lot to say and he tries to get it out in a single breath. They are both amazing musicians and its just interesting to see the difference in their styles.

BB's axe definitely looks and sounds like the Rolce Royce of guitars.

[Pk_Rain]

Man when BB gives him the thumbs up and claps during his solo… I can only imagine how complete that must make you feel as a musician

[Dewdaahman]

"The Blues is just a good man feelin' bad.."

[rian]

Get yourself a man that looks at you the way John Mayer looks at BB

[querbyvalencia]

Did anyone enjoyed without having to compare the two of them?

[ctpricemusic]

This is a conversation between an old man and a young man on guitar. The young man has soooo much to say. The old man waits. And waits. Only needs to say a few words that change his life. Wisdom.

[cityofghosts]

What's so frustratingly impressive about BB is that what he plays isn't particularly difficult, so you look at his tab and think I'll do that. But when I play it, it's so lacking something. BB king just makes every note so meaningful. His phrasing is perfect, every note is played as if it's the last note he will ever play

[adityasamuel]

This feels like a kid taking to his dad, so excited to tell him how his day went. The dad, patiently listening and chiming in, acknowledging the kid and conversing with the kid.

[mr-not-that-guy]

keep that imma get up AND! walk up out of here

john . starts singing because he knows he for real

[hamzaboogie]

The way bb kings face moves with every note he plays you can tell the music is in his soul. Truly a legend
