And BB seems like he is really enjoying the influence he has had on John and is really digging John's playing. What a joy to have come across this piece of musical history!

    1:05 - the line by BB and Johns "awkward" line in response, followed by his giddy, almost embarrassed yearning for approval from BB IS the most priceless moment of John's Career. BB is so fucking classy. He seems short and crass at first, almost as if he doesn't like john but it quickly becomes apparent that he appreciates his talent and youth, even if he has no patience for johns ego.

    One thing I'm being aware of, is that, when you're playing the blues, sometimes your own style and your essence tells you what to play, when you try to do more than what you're musicality is telling you, sometimes the blues kicks you back and you sound awful 😂 I can tell that BB has a style much more melodic and calm, and that's what makes him so interesting, not too much notes, just the right feel. Others like srv and Albert king, they're own style tells them to be that fast, and that's what we sometimes don't understand 😅 I'm starting to learn that I have to flow with the blues, talk with the music, feel my own rhythm and style. And man, that a hard way to go! Greetings, blessings and what a good comment!! 🔥🎶🌀🏞️

    Been reading some comments underneath and it seems like most people thinks it`s all about speed and technique, John Mayer holding back or trying to outshine BB, etc. To be honest I`m pretty shocked. My advice: stop listening and start really listening. Of course, when it comes to mastering a guitar, there is no hidden fact that John Mayer is on another level. However, when it comes to making music, finding the right connections of notes and most of all feeling it, BB is simply outstanding. Just listen to the fantastic licks by The King. Do people think he became the king by being the most technical player 60 years ago? Stop looking at the guitar like it`s just a piece of materiel and start listening to what comes out of it. Think about it this way. If you listening to one song compared to another, would you say that the fastest and most technical song was the best? No, because music is about getting touched, whether it`s rock or a soft song. The point is that it doesn't matter. And what do we do with a guitar? We make music and that`s what it`s all about. What is the point of playing 10 notes if 1 note can show you so much more?

    Smartman Additionally, the semi-hollow body guitar that BB plays (Gibson ES-335) has a deeper and richer tone than John's Strat. It's really perfect for blues. It's not as EASY to play as a thinner bodied, solid wood guitar but BB isn't concerned with "easy". BB's mindset is QUALITY just as you're stating here.

    Daniel Rodrigues And how exactly does that make you disagree with me? Just because I think BB King expresses more than John Mayer doesn't mean that I necessarily think that a fast guitar lick or solo is less soulful than a slow. Read carefully to what I wrote about music. "It doesn't matter" as long as the music reaches you. However a good guitar solo is like a good speech and most times you don't need that many words to express yourself. You gave me buddy guy as an example which by the way is one of my great favorites, I give you SRV.

Notice how BB is facing forwards playing for the crowd, playing the show, while john is almost always facing BB. John is playing for BB trying to earn his respect. It's almost like a master/servant relationship playing out on stage.

    All I can say playing guitar is like riding a skateboard you develop style effortless style , when I first watched this video my ego was telling me, Mayer I love you and you have created pure magic but don’t be disrespected the king like that and then I felt like bb was being rude in return but now I have come to the conclusion that this is pure love, a clash of beauty and extreme skill between 2 musicians this must of been a true dream realised by John and bb loved the beauty of a younger outstanding guitar player, would love to see these two play together again . Sadly that will never happen RIP bb’s beautiful soul ❤️ iv enjoyed this for years

    Well.... .. .I just had a musical education. Playing since I was a kid and being off the guitar for a few years I just checked in here put some diversity on my 7 years old's mp3 player. Suddenly it all becomes clear; hat off to John Mayer very talented guy, but there is a certain element that I missed and I think many of later generations have missed, even Vaughn to some degree: it's about more than shapes and moving through riffs, or even variety in that, the reason these old guys were great is confidence. They strike and bend with confidence and at the right time, that's important; rhythm requires confidence, rhythm & blues requires confidence and you can't make up for insecurity with variety. These old guys play most notes with confidence (not pride) they know there instruments and music so well, they know what sound is going to come out when they play a note and they're not afraid to let it ring, be heard and feel!

The blues is aboutta feeling. We all as blues players feel that sincere feeling. If you Hate on John you are not a true blues player. Blues guys love othe blues guys cause only we understand what eachother feel.

    mattsucksatmusic same reason I am watching this but JM should have just relaxed. The way to prove your greatness when you’re so privileged enough to play next to the greatest is to do as if you have nothing to prove and just enjoy the moment. That is greatness in itself. Technically couldn’t shine for itself because he was busy trying to outdo the master. Take Clapton on the other hand. He is technically a blues master in his own right, yet he treats King as blues royalty. There’s a difference in that.

    Mayer's great, but I have never heard him playing so tight and really out of sync with the rhythm section. You can say what you want but he caved that night. Couldn't handle the pressure. It's so obvious when you compare it to any of his other playing. He's drunk and or way too high also. Talking so much utter Bullshit.

    0:33 BB keeps hearing John repeating his major thirds he loves to throw in. BB knows this musical theme all to well, he knows why John likes it, he throws a lick that maybe Coltrane and Sonny and even Milt Jackson used to do, an inverted arpeggio that sings 5 - 8 - 3 -4 and trills between the 3 and 4, teetering between sustain and resolving, and he can resolve to the 3, or to the dominant 5 and land on a resounding 1. Where's he gonna go? Beautiful phrase that I remember playing many times on tenor.
