Guitarist left to John was so impressed by that super lick at 2:29 he almost forgot to sing! Great lick for the record.

very frustrating when people just write this guy off as an mtv pop star. he's such an amazing guitarist/singer/songwriter, its only a matter of time before his reputation is sealed as one of the greats in blues

Mayer is without a doubt, one of the best guitarists on the planet, and he is quick to pay repsects and homage to his blues forefathers. I'm not a huge fan of his singing (nor the way he looks when he sings, but he has done some correcting of the "birdmouth"), but his writing is where he really shines. Playing great guitar is one thing...writing great material is quite another. This kid will be around for a LONG time....

I'll fill in the parts I know for sure... 1:14-1:33 John Mayer - No Such Thing 1:55-2:11 Eric Clapton - Old Love 2:17-2:58 Donnie Hathaway - The Ghetto 3:03-END sounds a lot like a BB King blues tune, not sure what it is though.
