3:28 the perfect timing to start a guitar lick. The trick to Mayers playing is to keep shuffling that timing and combine bluesy licks around the beat whilst feeling the overall pulse of the song. He takes the basics and brings it to another level. All in all, It's just good ol' "simple" blues but building a solo and seeing that big picture in the context of a song, I believe, is Mayers main strength. You don't get bored.

dude, fuckin like 10 years ago now (I'm so old :( ) John did this thing he does once or twice a year and performs unannounced at this bar in Hollywood, which was down the street from my house but I missed it cause I wasn't much of a fan of his yet. some patron there filmed every song and put it up on her channel a few months before my heartbreaking breakup at the time and I found his performance of Slow Dancing. just him playing alone acoustically in like my favorite version of that song he's ever done. I obsessed over that performance for like a month, learning it note for note over the course, which helped me get over the sadness and anger. I love it, probably listened to that performance like 1000 times, and it's funny cause people in the comments talk about how good the solo is and that vid has over a million views, so something about it connected with people too, even tho it's just John alone in a bar playing a song he was already famous for.

As a fellow guitar player is was great watching John piece this together! He's become so comfortable in front of his phone/camera that you can almost see him zone in and out during the solos when he's obviously conscious of the camera and playing to it and then towards the end when he turns away from it and plays some of the tastiest parts of the solo. Almost like the first half was a bit of showboating for the folks at home and the last half was "time to go to work and nail this solo..." Great playing and really cool song. Thanks John!

Everytime I watch this back, I learn something new about phrasing and how John builds solos. Everytime I watch it there's a new nuance that I missed the time before. I would give a lot just to hang out with him for a day.

First of all thank you John for uploading this beautiful video. Then, incredible sound with that Casino, I'm amazed that despite having a contract with a different brand of guitars, you let yourself play the one you want 👏😉 Finally, it's great to hear live that sensation of having recorded the exact solo that appears in the final version, and enjoy the process of coming up with it as well. Thanks again, regards from Argentina. Martin 👏👏🇦🇷

Going to see him soon live for my first time and I can't wait, even if my tickets are shit I get to say I was in the same room as John Mayer, my biggest musical influence alongside B.B King and Jimi Hendrix. John has given me the inspiration to challenge my guitar skills and become a better musician and I am so glad I found his music soo many years ago. I have a spotify playlist of all of his songs that always sound like I am hearing them for the first time because of how deep and intricate his guitar playing is and how amazing Pino and Steve play and structure their musical conversations with John. Absolutely amazing.

One thing I looove about music is how influences blend in so nicely with your own personal touch. Even slight probably subconscious head movements like Stevie or BB come through while he’s playing. Love it. Hope we have another generation of some guitar greats to keep the inspiration going.

Awesome! So good! Already the first take was ACE! And how he switches to his pick at 4:52...MAGIC! The tone of that Epiphone 230TD...fantastic! (Makes me regret that I sold mine in the early 70s because everybody wanted to hear Fender Strats...well you live & learn!)
