This is a special bonus video of John from Where the Light Is. I was surprised I did not see this anywhere on youtube so it is a privilege to upload this little treat. It features his guitar tech Rene who used to be Stevie Ray Vaughn's tech and a little preview at the rehearsal space where the album artwork photo was taken.
#John Mayer #Stevie Ray Vaughn #where the light is
Gotta love the riff he plays on that L5 and SRV's Lenny replica.

Rene himself said Johns the closest thing we've got to Stevie. How can people continue to disrespect John after that?

***** Might not be Stevie, but when he played that strat it sure as hell reminded me of Stevie.

I love how not only is John such a big fan of Stevie, his favourite/most played guitar is his SRV signature he bought when he was 17, but he also hired his old guitar tech.

correction, he bought the SRV Tribute when he was 19 in 96' before he went to Berklee

John is a freak of nature when it comes to guitar playing. Like Eric Clapton said, "I don't even think he knows how good he is."

@HoldsworthLaneGovan 9 лет назад

Jazz players like George Benson, Tal Farlow, etc. have been using this rake/sweep technique WAY before shred players like Richie Kotzen existed. Mayer is not really into shred/metal stuff but he's a HUGE fan of jazz music.
