Exactly

Get Rene Martinez as your guitar tech, that might help👌👌👌

He’s got them ever-tune Bridges equipped lmao

Fax

Your shit isn’t setup right that’s why.

ElDuderino502 Mayer actually hates playing Wonderland

Pope Raisin I don’t blame him i hate playing it too

Acoustix i never even bothered to learn it

well a wonderland replaced by voodoo child actually is not a troll...its a must 😂😂😂

Facts love the looks on the college girl's faces too

He did it because he is a guitar player

No he did it for the dads And because he’s a guitar player

Grandads*

He did it for dad: Jimi

@@tylerblackman6476 Stevie version of this song will always be my favorite

Lolz

Those are the songs that he wants to play vs the ones that make him millions and score the highest quality Poon on the planet ! Which is why every 14 yr old picked up a gutiaar in the first place !

Carl Fredriksson JAJAJSJJSJSJJJAJAJAH

Haha 👍

I just lol, for real. Fantastic comment!

lmao

there you go, 1 thousand likes

Dan D I have never heard of those guys before, and that's what makes John so good. He can bring killer guitar playing to the mainstream and introduce many people to a whole new range of music. He is how I got into playing guitar. His combination of listenability and skill makes him a powerhouse.

Dan D He's great at blues

Dan D im sorry but saying there is nothing original and good about mayers playing is plain ignorant. He is very fucking good. I can't tell if you dont realize this because you have never picked up a guitar or just because you dont realize what makes a good guitarist.

Dan D Guthrie govan is no doubt the best but john mayer is john mayer, he's a bluesman with a sprinkle of jazz and later country. Why are you bringing guthrie in this conversation

Dan D dude those guys are killer, but if you say mayer has nothing special, you really dont understand guitar. Neon and stop this train is really hard at guitar, and he play those songs while singing, and yet he is one of the guitarist who makes complex riff sounded so simple, it is so hard to do.

Yeah thank god ive grown up listening to hendrix(im 14)

Ha-Ha! I doubt that!

Let that be a lesson to you.

@@bucaro5336 😳😳

estupidos generalizando y creyendo que un género de una cancion es mejor que otra que cacas

no one can play like jimi

It's more of a tribute to Stevie Ray imo

he literally directly copied the stevie ray vaughn version of this song

He's trying to sound more like SRV than Jimi

He's paying tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan definitely... It's a Hendrix song on SRV style.

F u

Think I found a triggered feminist.

@santiagoisokay and?

There’s some pretty damn good female guitar players out there mate. That are definitely fans of Johns

@Wakanda thats just facts

there are a small portion of people who realise he is the best guitarist in popular culture right now.

flyde popular culture I said

spot on lol john mayer is THE guitarist of my generation

flyde John is probably better skill wise

I’m part of the guys who take their gf with them

That was so tasty...

Jimi sometimes did similar in live performances. I love how he could take parts of one song and play them over another seamlessly

And at 4:57

Haha that is so true!

Sad how he thought he had an idea what the song is.

Reiss Why are you making assumptions??

That's a lie! You can't say that man

So true! And he plays it so damn well!!!

Keith Carlock he's amazing

Unsung hero, his playing was stupid tight the whole way

He's not really 'unsung' - in the drumming world he's considered a monster with unfair amounts of talent. Check him out playing with Wayne Krantz 😃👍

I discovered john mayer through the drummer lol. Keith Carlock was one of my top drummers I studied.

edd stowe Ah! I see you’re a man of culture.

I CAN'T UNTHINK IT THIS WAY

I think your onto something

@@liamdewhurst9127 he is he figured it out

John Mayer has a tattoo on his left arm that continues until his wrist, pilky27 has no tattoos on either arm. Have I Changed your mind?

anonymous solver @ eddie van halen

It low key looks like he was mimicking what Jimi Hendrix was doing during his live show

🤣

​@@salvadorfindley3555 he's actually using a technique called feedback which jimi was famous for using

@@leonschick2895 so whats that about?

he has the ball to

Johnny Botts yes in a time capsule to 1972

I'm prety shure he is going to bed

between the preppy shirt and the pants he looks the next to tee off

Hahahahaha

yeah that climbing riff is sooooo good

You might wanna listen to Gugun Blues Shelter/Gugun Power Trio and Davide Panozzo for the Jimi type of guitars. If you wanna have some of the more jazz, you might like Tom Misch and Melanie Faye. Still a lot of _hidden_ talents in the internet.

If you want blues listen to kingfish, Eric gales, and Samantha king fish

buddies wife had too get him too go lmao

​@@Sergeant_UWU_best wife ever period

more of them probably thought he wrote the song

Jack O Exactly.. those lily white bubble gum chewing little girls were all looking at each other in absolute shock.. Who's Jimi Hendrix and what's a Voodoo Child..they obviously didn't get it, they only came hoping John would possibly make eye contact with one of them.. OMG.. did you see that he actually looked directly at me..LOL oh well

Jack O "Like, I feel like I've heard this before but whatever I'm sure it's his." Also, notice how only like 10 people cheered when they heard the wah strum intro. If that concert were full of guitar players they would've flipped out the second he turned the wah on.

Clay Hadley Agreed.. That giant Hendrix Wah Wah intro too voodoo child is so legendary and universally recognized.. Damn if that was the 80s or 90s the entire audience would of stood up and applauded... Oh well...Looks like the new selfie generation has reared its ugly head.. talk about.music ignorance personified...

PRE CBS STRATOCASTER'S Yup, it's pretty sad. Things like this don't get near as much appreciation as they should in this day and age, unfortunately.

QuAGOtH Official he’s in dead and co dude

The JM3 really brings him to his best. I don't know why he doesn't play as much in that formation

@@Matheus.Richard His last couple tours had both Pino and Steve in them and on a few they did entire Trio sets. He's doing these things but people arent seein em bc they arent Top 40. His stuff with Dead and Co is amazing...

​@Guitar Dudeo yeah no it created rock

Owen Miller it’s called the blues

Yes, great job all around.

Keith Carlock! He‘s an absolute master 🔥

Easily one of the greatest living drummers. Gotten to see him live 3 times. Twice with steely dan and once in his own trio. Incredible

HONESTLY MAN !

I tried really hard foe some reason to be an asshole hater but the more of his stuff I saw live, the more I became a fan. I’ve seen Dead and Co four times now and I’m heading back to Boulder this summer to see two more shows. He’ll melt your damn face off!!

Agree!! And Mr. Eric Clapton loves doing covers. He talks about John a lot and likes him. He plays with him, among others, and there's lots of others. So if U think John is a teen idol, U might want to listen to an unprecedented , 3 time, inductee into the RRHoF, a man who's played with everybody , no attitude , living legend/icon , who not only plays and has played with too many greats to mention, is the best guitarist , barr none, of the 20th & 21st century , and hear what he has to say about John . Don't compare anyone to Jimi or SRV, cause their not here. And it doesn't really matter how they would have turned out if they lived, cause they were pretty awesome exactly how they were. With my musicality, before I will ever take a step forward , I dig deeper right where I'm at. If u realize that there r only 12 sounds in all of western music, and you can internalize them (u probably have them stored in ur sub- conscious brain along with so many other songs, melodies, harmonies that go all the way back to when u first heard music, child songs, nursery rhymes , all generes), any exercise u do becomes that much more powerful. Even singing the sounds after playing them ,to get familiar with them, is internalizing ! And u want to internalize them to improvise (friends,2-3 people, jams , open mic) , so if u walk into a setting where's there's jamming happening, and somebody runs up to u and says "ok, here's the key and here's the chord progression ", and u say , "forget all that. Just let me listen for a minute and I'll follow u." U listen and then u play 1 sound and you'll know exactly where your at and the key and the chord progressions. Me ,I do that but I'll improvise . And that's where the fun is and that's what musicality is all about. Music theory is redundant . Play scales isn't improvising . Play some (which all come from the 12 sounds in western music)at 250 bps might impress ur friends, but it'll do nothing for ur improvising . The concept is how slow u can play each sound , then improvise with them and that will give all the info u need to play in any situations . You'll eventually forget about keys, and progressions and you'll always know where ur at, always! If you've ever been on a plane and u walk thru and ur greeted by the flight attendants and then u glance into the cockpit and look at the dashboard , u probably thought,"there's got to be a zillion buttons on there, how's the pilot know what buttons to push!!!!", Cause he knows what they do.........

Meanwhile Clapton admit that he is one of the best guitarist ever

Joe mama

Yep. Neon is my favorite original from him. It’s pop, but it’s just as complex as stuff Clapton. Hendrix, or Vaughn composed.

Meanwhile every guy whose girlfriend made them go was rocking out lol

+AdamWStudios Yesss!!

lol

Dai Young I know I'm a huge fan of jimi Hendrix I would've died

I cant even imagine a girl hating this music if shes there to see mayer. She would already be into him enough to pay attention to the art. This cover id sooo good that shes bound to jam!

He did amazing loved this version of voodoo toooo

TheMetalrap619 Tries too hard to be SRV.

Halen Jolley didn’t srv rip off hendrix too?

@@HalenJolley101 he has said multiple times that srv is his biggest idol, hes not trying to be him but he obviously likes his style, he isnt ripping him off anymore than whatever srv ripped off in his times

@@HalenJolley101 whats wrong with wanting to be SRV? Thats a blessing that he idolizes him

@@subhasishpam426 Can you not tell the difference between Hendrix and SRV's playing? You can copy, but you gotta grab your own sound. John Mayer has a hard time with that, I think.

And a bit of Bieber's stage presence!

Professor Musica With none of your stupidity.

***** Mayer even has an SRV tat on his shoulder.

he plays and sing like a pusy

nivdavid177 you for real gonna say that after seeing this performance?

Abhinav Ramesh lmao if you set up your bridge right(not Floyd Rose style) you can totally abuse it without it going out of tune. Hard work but it pays off

All you need are locking tuners

it's not the tuners dude its a variety of other factors as well. for example if the nut sticks to the strings they over stretch and drop tuning

Abhinav Ramesh if u add two more tremolo springs then ur straight

i did that on my 89 telecaster with a bigsby dropped tuning all strings had to switch guitars

melonhead34 Eric gales

melonhead34 Try the try album or continuum

The "dead" songs aren't dead at all you twat

Pawel Habrajski Sounds to me like melonhead34 is referring to the Grateful Dead; hence the capital letter at the start of 'Dead'. He's played with surviving Grateful Dead members in the band Dead & Company too so I'm guessing that's the reference

Jimi Hendrix’s Voodoo Child a “dead song”? That’s a crazy assumption.

monster?!

He is a monster guitar player

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrxpl9t32pPPc5c.html This version of Bold As Love aint bad either!

its not that good. The original is light years ahead. The solos are weak, and the rhythm is pretty weak too. But its good enough to fool people who don't know

@@Barefoot67 it's Go0D enOugH foR pEopLe WhO dOn'T knoW you clown

You should see Hendrix when he's live

@Drew Zaio: Well I tried the wah wah this morning, and it won't do all the crazy licks, must be broken or something...

Not witchcraft...it's voodoo

Your profile picture is you in a mask. Wtf is wrong with you cult members? Embarrassing soy boy

@@huelerhuelin3334 you don’t have a picture. Must break every camera in sight.

There are four you could argue for or against IMO: Trucks, Bonamassa, Frusciante or Mayer. They are each WILDLY different though. Slide, straight blues(-rockish), blues-pop and straight rock.

TheSocratesReborn he doesn't get as much creditas he should for his skill from most because he is commercial successful as a pop artist

excellent comment, well put

He honestly should, he's got the talent. It would be a nice change from all the poppy bullshit

Listen to the John Mayer Trio

Yeah I’d kill for a heavy rock album by Mayer

@@OmegaMarioMaster poppy bullshit is what sells nowadays sadly. he still should tho as just a passion project id definitely listen to it

He's been in Dead and Co since 2015. Where have you been?

Doug Shanahan hahahaha

Even better. 😂

I was thinking the same thing,

His out seems tame compared to Jimi and Stevie's.

But he definitely did it lol...

tyler borders hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons acoustic attempt at this. Hoping to find him some subscribers 😜 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqlim8aovdXYXZ8.html

He is one of maybe the best guitarist of this century so far. He just doesn’t do it on his albums which is a shame. You should listen to where the light is, he does many blues songs on it

SeemsLikeSomething Stevie Ray Vaughan was 5’5

Trident Editing Ok. I’m sure it’s not a strict rule. Just saying most are tall.

SeemsLikeSomething I know. I’m just playin brotha

Large hands makes access to the top end of the finger board much easier.

Get a smaller guitar if you need to dude, my hands aren't massive but it's just practise man

😂

Neon

Like when he took a stab at Beatles tunes

mmafan2223 he could have killed waiting on the world to change or gravity

@@SirLancelotTheBrave slow dancing or covered in rain with jimi hendrix on it, solo part is probably gonna be godly

Just look at all along the watchtower

Look up Gary Moore’s version, one of the best !!!

Abenezer Manaye John Mayer's Stratocasters have the modern tremolo block system installed, the new blocks are bigger and hold the strings more stable so those old whammy bar tuning nightmares are pretty much a thing of the past.. Even with a modern Floyd Rose tremolo system eventually you'll have to retune..

+PRE CBS STRATOCASTER'S Doubt he has a modern block. no way would he make changes to pre cbs strats.

I use my whammy bar everytime I solo and I don't get out of tune, just my low e everything else and fine. Maybe adjust your action?

ready teddy That's correct.. Staying in tune lies in the pro set up.. some people don't understand just how important yearly intonation maintenance is..

If you have a cheapo guitar, ya
