Hey all. Since this video was so well received, I uploaded the entire show. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9zk_jXRJ8aw.html
Well that's just badass. Will def be checking it out - this version is ripping and you can tell he was on point, which means there are some other gems in the set. Cheers to you Bruno!
well he has learned from the greats and added in his own techniques. would love to see him have a guitar off with srv.clapton, stkins, setzer etc...would be a night worth 10X more than any usual concert.
@@philipsk are you kidding me? he writes amazing songs... check out continuum or room for squares, his songwriting is some of the best in the past 20 years, and a majority of it is written by Mayer only.
Jarecl Let's not forget all the behind the scenes songwriting John does for other artist. He definitely has a huge influence on the music industry and will for quite a while, even as his own music may or may not become less prevalent
This is first video that i saw John Mayer playing 5 years ago and i became his fan. Today i know every his song and he made me start palying guitar. Thank you Mr. Mayer
@@israelCommitsGenocide vultures is a good one as well pretty simple it's one kind of groove throughout the whole song if you get it how John gets it though it's awesome
@@chrisrichardson5834 that's funny.... I have a full house every night I plug in........ I wonder what they are doing here..? must be doing something right..... come to MI and check it out ....
@@TheM.O.V. That is part of the blues, but not all of it. Blues can be celebrating pleasure too, and just be something that is a part of your soul. John Mayer has blues running through his veins, even if he hasn't faced hardship. Saying that Real Blues is from hardship is like what you said in your reply, part of it. Blues is Blues.
AMEN to that; his tone is "out of this world" quality, and the groove is beyond that dimension --- from somewhere far out in the universe, just arriving to us after many light years of traveling through space and time; (or something)
Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees Asked the lord for mercy, said help me if you please I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride No one seemed to know me, everybody passed me by You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown That I'm standing at the crossroads, I believe I'm sinking down
So masterful, so Blues-manly and such a royal jam! I love, Love, LOVE him, like the verb. More evidence that John Mayer has LONG been a Master, the Man and the King ❣🌟💎👑
So grateful for good taste not dying out with age..It’s over the time, and people. It’s divine. Grateful for these tunes. This is the thing keep the world spinning. Absorb it.
That’s a Cornish NG- 2 pedal he’s using to get that sound. He uses it and talks about it on the crossroads instructional video. It’s a really expensive pedal but it sounds great especially through really good amps
I've been watching this video for probably just over a year and it still amazes me that he made that sound come out of a stratocaster. john really just is something else
I love this song, since its lyrics go so far in the history of the blues, where famous blues musicians played a song on their guitar in the middle of the night at a crossroads. All of this in order to magically master the art of blues, while also selling their life to a demon.
Oh I love this video, I saw it a long time ago and when I searched for it again I could not find it. I love how he performs this, the tone and sound is amazing.
He began his career doing pop because pop sells more albums and gets more airtime, but he's been playing blues at his live shows since the beginning. The Blues is why he started playing guitar.
John did 2 solos. The first one was eclectic and reminded me of Jeff Beck. The 2nd one, he went blues and showed Clapton just how far mayer has advanced blues
I remember in the 90's during grunge era, generation at those time mostly don't listen to blues anymore..blues has become music for oldies and few young musicians..
Great and many guitar Gods played this song but to my taste the best will always be the live version by Cream played somewhere about 1968. The singular reason 'JACK BRUCE'. This great man R.I.P is what all other renditions lack.
