Inception

I was just thinking the same thing.

10 or 20 or 200 years from now…this will be historical for generations to come about John Mayer

Miles Rohrbaugh 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯

This kid is completely unremarkable on guitar and singing, so "Amazing Spiderman" he is not. This is a random kid at the orphanage and Mayer is Bruce Wayne.

Hahaha perfect 👍👌

ADIDASects that’s so mean 😂 he’s a kid and will grow to be excellent

ADIDASects bruh you clearly have not taken the time to listen to Alecs songs, he has one of the most beautiful voices out there and he’s great at guitar. His audio just doesn’t seem too loud in this

lol'd so hard at this

Looool John Mayer is way too far from SRV

@@kcee023 Closer than basically anyone else in the world

@@diegocorrales844 Dude, best answer ever

Legendary comment

Ben Battista at least not like that. 😂

I would... ☺️😊😄

EVERYBODY needs a Hand Up now and then ... It's how you make use of the Help that counts.

it feels like all his songs are written that way, the same can be said about alec's songs, and a lot of other artists who actually write their own music.

alec would sound much better if the song was in a higher key. they have different vocal ranges

DUUUDE ik, but here he almost sounds like an amateur in a high school band, that’s not with every cover like that

Brad Wilmot haha got it😂👍

He had a recent video where he talked about how covers are weird to him because he wrote the songs based on his vocal limitations

🤣🤣

Lucas Metzger I guess that’s just a testament to John’s character more than anything else.

Bro these dudes have an awesome story now. I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to this video at least once a month.

Yes he IS glad about that

The Fishy Life ! By coldest dudes you mean john?

Was not always the biggest Mayer fan. But I’ve seen a lot of him lately and have grown ever impressed with his talent as a songwriter, guitarist and performer. He has proven himself gracious and extremely generous with whomever he shares the stage. And it is no different here. This is definitely cool. What a memory!

Yup. When Clapton calls you “likely the best guitarist of our era” you know you’re cold.

Other than at the end hahahaha

The oldest person at that concert is 17 please keep that in mind while writing comments it could make you look stupid.

Why do I think that look is a bit of nostalgia and hoping good guitar skill doesn't die

I think Mr.Mayer heard the drummer do something really cool that was not on his record and he smiled also to acknowledge the cool drum lick - he sounds like a good guy who recognizes talent - that was pretty cool

But it comes to Guitar he the meanest

I sometimes gig in a hoodie, it's hot and pretty sweaty underneath, but you can wipe your forehead on the sleeve ^^

I havent got in a gig that I didn’t feel cold. That’s why i use hoodies

muscianship!!!!

MUSICIANSHIPPPPP!!!

Isn't that the silver sky prototype?

I mean the PRS

No one cares

That’s a PRS silver sky

What are you talking about ? He hardly ever used his signature strats for Slow dancing ...Firstly the song was written and recorded on/with his “black 1” which was a 2004 master build by John Corona and the next most used guitar for that song is his 64. Both of these guitars played a big roll in the design of his silver sky which is why he probably almost exclusively plays them for live versions of slow dancing now.

No.

well yes, but actually no i mean compared to john he is a kid both in age and in music knowledge/song writing

Jax drummer is holding it down... pretty solid. Not sure what’s wrong with his playing

@Jax okay calm down, Im not allowed to commend other people for their playing? He did well playing with John Mayer, it still turned out to be a great show

ADIDASects I’m a huge John Mayer fan, but have you seen his fashion sense?? That’s probably the sole reason this kid got to play with Mayer

im just surprised john wasnt the one wearing neon sweatpants tucked into his socks

it was the "kids" concert he has song with more than 200.000.000 views

sorry 550.000.000 views

And his name is Alec Benjamin 😤

He's 24

colaboytje Alec is a very talented writer and John endorses the kid a ton. The whole stage has talent in excess.

@@seb4376 I didn't say he doesn't have talent, but when John starts, it's like an artist playing together with a band on a school dance.

colaboytje Well I guess you’re right, you didnt say that, but you certainly implied it a little.

John also has like a decade plus of pro music experience on the kid + hes playing his own song that he must have played 1000s of times live by now. Both are incredibly talented!

@@kennethkoh9998 Michael Jackson was 6 when he was on stage as the lead singer. Age or experience isn't the point here. It's talent.

Yeah. Fender Deluxe Reverb. It looks like the '64

It’s similar to a deluxe reverb, but It’s actually from a boutique amp company called milkman, most likely its the creamer. Great amps.

@@Sfoss7 but it says FENdER in the left corner

That's a fender deluxe reverb .

You've commented like 8 months on this bro is so mad 💀

Like he’s more from a hard rock genre

They needed a cage for him

Haahaa yes very true

i think its kinda difficult for him to sing this song in the original key hahaha, if the song is played in higher key i think alec could sing it more comfortably, they have different vocal ranges anyway xD

nsc217 HAHA that amp is a pretty powerful amp, looks like a deluxe reverb, i have one of those, it can be much louder than you're thinking it can, its a tube amp not a solid state

guitaristbiker That’s true. It is actually a pretty big amp. Usually he has tons of amps on stage for the big gigs

nsc217 for sure, i mean with modern sound equipment you just have to use what achieves the siund you want, volume is definitely not an issue anymore, many times something like a deluxe reverb is nice to use for the gravel but can lack clarity so guys will use a powerful tube amp with a lot of clean headroom daisey chained with the lower wattage amp and run it on 3-4 for a little clarity to go with the gravel, like a twin on 3-4 and a super reverb on 8 or so, i love my deluxe in smallish venues, id definite,y daisey chain it with a 60+ watt amp to add some clarity, again just depends what tone you like, thats a pretty small venue there so that deluxe style amp on its own is good to go on 5-6 id say for his style tone

It’s mic’ed. The crowd isn’t hearing John through that “little amp”. They are mostly hearing from the big speakers around the auditorium. As an aside, that little amp has a hell of a tone.

lol that amp looks tiny but it's not tiny one bit.

loma fender reverb amp, probably a ‘64

He didn't bring hisbTwo Rock with him, it will probably explode the venue with his heavenly tone. *lol*

KyleNoelMusic you sleep in a sweatshirt ?

A very talented songwriter. Named alec benjamin.

ADIDASects try listening with a headphones on. Keyboardist is playing the bass lines. #facepalm

@@reymondagpaoa6570 To quote Dave Chappelle from Half Baked, "You obviously missed the point of that story."

ADIDASects Sorry man, i think i totally missed your point. Can you enlighten me then?

Still 69 xD

Aniket C HAHAH 😂

He was sick. His vocal chords were irritated, but he still got on stage with john mayer. Also he has a very soft high pitch voice so its abnormal for him to sing this low.

it was literally his concert

@@braedencarroll I literally believe you. Literally doesn't change anything. Literally.

It's Alec's show. John Mayer was a guest. As the host you give props to your guest. Not the other way round. Even if said guest is the more famous one like John Mayer.

@@kennethkoh9998 No, it is your job to entertain and perform, regardless of billing. So when you invite someone on your stage who is eons more popular than you, you posit it with the gravitas it deserves. So you don't say some sort of lame ass generic "give it up" comment. What you say is "Ladies and gentlemen, that is...(and you could even insert a bunch of fun compliments to his prowess)....John Mayer." And I would suggest further to say something to the effect of "Let's let him know how much we enjoyed that he came to play for us." Not this bullshit of "It's my show. 'Give it up for John Mayer.'"

ADIDASects Everyone says give it up for (insert name here) whenever someone comes on stage, regardless of who it is. If John was really bothered by it, he probably would have said something to Alec about it. Also, I don't think you've ever been famous for anything seeing as how I have never seen your name anywhere, so I've got a couple questions for you. 1, how do you know about these supposed rules? 2, where's your rule book that you got this info from?
