My 67yr old mother has been a piano player/teacher and a theory guru for most of her life. I was driving her from Florida to Colorado, and she had never seen your videos, so to pass time we watched your videos and I could see on her face how much joy it brought her to listen to you breaking down the theory and musicality of various pieces. We were able to bond over our shared love of music and theory! She said it felt like we were just 3 music lovers hanging out, listening to music, and talking theory. Thanks Michael!

Any Paradise Valley fans out there?? A lot of folks saying it’s Dead-inspired (which is true) but John’s been playing this style for well over a decade now with a couple albums of his own.

Johns phrasing is some of the best in the world but a lot of people forget that his rhythm feel is just as melting. Glad your ear and reaction bought his rhythm to the front of our focus.

My favorite thing about Mayer is how he does more with less than most players do with 100x more.

This style of lesson is so valuable for those who are self taught. It’s the discussions with fellow musicians, that I for one have not really ever had, regarding the intricacies of a song that really really allow one to understand the music theory while also cultivating the passion for the art. Great job ❤

John’s Grateful Dead influence is definitely trickling into his other music. Two of my favourite artists ever!

This oozes the Grateful Dead 💀 it has a kinda friend of the devil vibe Great tune

John Mayer is a perfect country guitar player...you just need to put him the place of a slide guitar!!!

John’s guitar tone is a callback to Paradise Valley

What a great song. Zach is such a good songwriter and the fact he got this legend to join in with him makes it incredible. Love your videos. Also, his guitar has kind of a JJ Cale feel to it as well.

You "Ear" is amazing at breaking down music and notes.

Thank you for this video. Congrats on 600k!!!

Your love for music is all your face. That’s what music is meant to do. You introduced me to Travis Meadows and I’m very thankful for that. You are a great talent.

Thank you Sean Penn for this excellent video

So simple and so powerful. The difference 1 note makes is magic. Thanks for that inspiration at the end, I’m picking the V up right now. ⚡️

I love your videos man and so glad you covered this one. I know you normally do live stuff so thank you for abandoning that for this video and breaking this one down. You getting excited about it gets me excited so kudos my friend. wonderful video for a wonderful song.

This is great on multiple levels! My daughter is 11 and a huge Zach Bryan fan which i think is awesome she appreciates real music so young. That being said when I showed her this she says..."Who is John Mayer?"😁

I'm astonished at the sheer volume of music Zach Bryan has and is putting out! He seems like he's not sure how long this thing will last and is trying to make everything of it he possibly can. Ride that wave!

Masterful as always! I always come here to love songs even more than I already do. Thanks for everything.

Dude just making that guitar SING the last 4 minutes

Thanks KZfaq algo for bringing me to your page. This was fantastic. I've been a Mayer fan for a long time and your appreciation for his playing is fun to watch.

What a voice

I was waiting for someone to post something like this, thanks sir 🤙🏻

I'm getting some Allman Bros. and Eagles vibes also. I agree, Zach Bryan is a great songwriter. Something In The Orange is currently in the song rotation for the cover band I play with, I may have to suggest this one too... Keep on putting out the good content bro!

Man....that was awesome! What a great song and breakdown! I was playing my SE McCarthy right along with you!

That song is so Greatful Dead. Of course with some tasty blues licks but it’s almost as though I hear some Dickey Betts Blue Sky vibe. Cool video dude. Great breakdown of the music.

Perfect song. Perfect teacher for it.

it is indeed perfect

This is a great song and I love the way you teaching the song step by step. Awesome old guitar reefs* Eric Clapton stile spiced testfully with some Jimmi Hendrix cords slides* Congratulation! Thanks

I basically play chords only. Know very little theory and don't know runs or solos or scales. You're way above me in every way, and I love this channel and everything you do. Thanks.

what winderful way to spend some monday morning time. thank you. 🌸

JMs playing feels like a nod to his Paradise Valley album, one of his best IMO

John absolutely melting it off the cuff at 9:18 kills me, hahaha. You're so inspiring, bud.

I enjoy your videos so much Mr Palmisano. Always so much positivity. Thank you !

You're the best, Bro! Thanks for your efforts!

Zach Bryan and John Mayer. What a great combination.

VI IV I aka the They Love Each Other. No surprise there, as I’m pretty sure that’s one of John’s fav dead tunes. So so good

Love this!!❤

The solo behind the solo is always my favorite thing about the solo

Beautiful man

9:11 Saving to learn that bit 12:50 too

Did you see the video he just dropped for this on his KZfaq? Pretty neat.

I know John plays with the Dead, but this sounds a lot like something Dickie Betts would’ve played.

“Better Days” reminded me of Paul Butterfield’s band of that name. Reaction suggestion for another studio track, their “Please Send Me Someone to Love” with guitar by the great Amos Garrett.

Tell me Jerry isn’t coursing through John’s veins.

Background rhythm reminds me a lot of Grateful Dead riffs. Great vibe!

PLEASE do a whole lesson on your chords with the pentatonic flair! I’m a guitargate premium member!

You go absolutely insane at the end of Oak Island

Came on your page to literally say jump on this song…can’t believe I’m too late

That's the prettiest PRS I've ever seen... and that's saying a lot considering they're all gorgeous

dude the riffing at 12:50 is crazy cool

He just released a live in studio version on his KZfaq channel. I’d say that’s worth another reaction!

this song will make you cry of joy Yamandu Costa - Serelepe (Guitar Concerto Night of 39th Shanghai Spring Inter. Music Festival)

Dang thats good

Hearing Dickey Betts in there a lot too

Hmmm, this song has an early Rod Stewart sound to it, especially the guitars.

I dig the hell outta that S2 594! I know PRS is known for their crazy figured tops, but they should do more solid color finishes IMO

OHHHH YAAAAA YES SIR

Hey man! Any chance you could do a lesson on the rhythm soloing and pentatonic inversions ?

Mayer / Dead mixes with Jason Isbell

I’m hearing a lot of George Harrison influence actually

what amp you playing through? sounds great

You should check out the band Wild Rivers. A good song to check out would be thinking bout love, or speak too soon

10:13 Journey “Lights” vibes.

"i'm so tired of...... The ways of this old world........ wasting it away" Hey driver - Better days

Would really like to summit a request. How would I go about doing that?

Has similar voicings / sound to cold rain and snow & I know you rider. Weir (we are) everywhere 🫡

This is a jam

Your guitar tone sounds more filled out than usual

my man you really gotta react to classical dragon

what do you use to do these reactions

I think is my comfort KZfaqr i feel like whenever i watch her videos i feel so relaxed, chill and happy 🩷🥹

Jesus f-ing christ man, palmisano does it again, te lo juro 🎉❤😎

...isn't it also just Jack Straw, especially where you're talking that great rhythm playing in the middle? Goes from Friend of the Devil to Jack Straw, basically.

There really is no way to put it, other than that this is a perfect song.

That jump-in by Mayer is literally a riff from Middle Of The Morning by Jason Isbell.

20 seconds into the video and straight to the song, no unnecessary jimble talk, just straight to it. Love it man! I always enjoy this quality content. Keep on going like this :)

What is this? Zack Bryan is terrible.
