And BB just took off after, you can see John's admiration and appreciation during BB's solos and BB looking on at John with looks of "you did you're homework and you understand the roots."

It's the pentatonic/blues scales. Improving with these scales is so much easier than you think. The pentatonic scale is applicable to songs in both minor and major keys, you just take the scale shape and move it around accordingly. Once you start understanding things like this, blues licks will come naturally to you, I promise. Most jam tracks on youtube have the scale diagram on them, so fire one up and noodle away. It'll help you out a lot more in the long run than just looking at tabs.

@@JadwinManuel Exactly. I never really learn licks played by guitarists in the past with tabs, i've practiced with pentatonic scales and backing tracks for nearly 2 years now almost every single day and i'm now able to improvise and play comfortably across the entire fretboard. Once improvisation becomes natural with the pentatonic it's so easy to learn all the modes too, and it opens a world of opportunities

You could see the age behind the guitars. Blues is a conversation, BB King is a wise experienced man...his words are slow, smooth, and clear. He's one of those speakers that doesn't have to speak loud for everyone to listen, people just know what he's about to say is good so they want to listen. While John Mayer is like a recent college graduate, he has a ton of highly technical knowledge and an expansive education and he's excited to share it with everyone so he speaks fast, almost tripping over his words. He has a lot to say and he tries to get it out in a single breath. They are both amazing musicians and its just interesting to see the difference in their styles.

John knows right where he is. Many guys can play. Many can sing. Few know respect. It’s true. Been around live shows much of my life. The thing is is that John Mayer’s career is driven by gratitude. He’s a talent no doubt. But he’s genuinely cool and in the end that is part of what powers those that “make it”. I guess what I’m saying is that BB King is a legend for giving us a sound. Mayer pays homage and is grateful. He wants BB to see what he is capable of now. As a child might want to show off. It’s cool.

So hard to have the vocal and musical talent that John has a true prodigy, but while John maybe even more technical then BB at this stage the way BB plays the notes the timing the "feel" is so much better its hard to describe its just awesome we are lucky enough to see this recording.

He's a generational talent so yeah. At this point in time definitely considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Up there with all these guys. All thanks to his passion. He could have easily taken the pop route out after Gravity. Instead he remained true to his core passion. With that said, I want him to work on an album that is just him. Not meant for a commercial release but as a display of his talent and imagination as a musician.

why the fuck is everyone comparing these giants one against the other? They are playing along, not against each other. That´s how music is done!

John unpredictable? The nervous energy that surrounds him might seem unpredictable but actually when you listen to what he plays it's nothing out of the ordinary. He just overplays constantly without any interesting ideas. I don't think that's unpredictable, because anyone who is reasonably experienced with guitar knows it's the most common mistake people do when improvising. Don't get me wrong, I like John Mayer, but in this video he was kinda lame.

@@daviesquiro4089 BB King is the best when it comes to slow blues, but we all know Mayer is a SRV/Hendrix kind of player. You can't really compare at all, Mayer did hold his own in a style he's not 100% comfortable in and you can see BB appreciated that. If he can and you can't - you need to reevaluate yourself as a guitarist and musician.

I just wish John Mayer would make a strictly blues album with sounds similar to this jam. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Sure, It wouldn't do that well commercially, but blues fans and people who respect his musicianship would totally love it.

I have a lot of respect for John Mayer at the first place because he's very talented but as BB King is starting to play, a warm woman tone, a few notes, short sentences, you feel the age, the emotion, the experience in this video. I've to say that John's playing has become more mature during the years. He's putting more soul in his notes and phrases. He's a wonderful musician.

Seen BB at least a dozen times, each time is an experience, a delight, a warm hug to be wrapped up in and feel that everything is going to be alright. All hail The King (RIP, Sir).

Imagine being John Mayer in this situation. He grew up listening to BB dreaming about being one of the great blues men just like him, and here he is playing next to one of the kings. I would be totally fangirling no way I could play anything resemblent of a blues solo.
