A bit bittersweet how much exposure tracks like these get right out the gate. Seems like anything relatively upbeat on the contemporary side gets thoroughly depleted due to how rare it is. Reminds me of when that Pharell Williams (sp?) track "Happy" came out and it got wore out by appearing everywhere all at once. At least with this song, I've heard it a hundred times already and still like it.

One thing that really brings back that 80's sound is the synth sound. Full Toto patch.

Omg the 80's style intro though , 10/10

The tone on Kimmel is very different from the studio tone. I'm pretty confident that the studio tone IS a Soldano and might even be John's EC Grey Clapton Strat as well. I think what we saw on Kimmel was his latest iteration of live rig. There's a thickness and sustain to the studio tone that wasn't there on Kimmel.

I think I agree with Tomo. As I listened to that track, quite a few times, it seems like I am hearing a dimension. I hear modulation without much movement. Also, since I am the proud owner of a line 6 M5, I do have the dimension model, and I think it sounds pretty good. Also, I have to say, a couple of weeks ago at my local guitar center, I finally got my hands on a silver sky. One of the nicest strats I’ve ever played.

Great tone and playing from Pete, very close!

It also has Methane's patented chorus sound, although as an example of chorus I'd go with Jaco. But if they want to go back to the 80s and get chorus rock sound, there are better choices, like Boston's Tom Sholz on "More Than A Feeling" or if you want something more jazz, the Crusaders "Carnival of the Night" with Barry Finnerty on guitar, that has subtle chorus/flange. Or maybe Carlos Rios on Gino Vanelli's Sally. Or how about the Yellowjackets Elamar with Mike Miller. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6mpystrZ9O-qco.html all with chorus-like solos. No offense to John Mayer. As pop recording artists go, he's a damn good guitar player, but the 1980s were filled with great guitarists, and people liked hearing guitar solos - a match made in heave. Don't sell people short, just have them listen to the real thing.

Lee's tone at the end was so nice! Been fun to watch his playing improve over the years too... Great job Lee! Awesome video guys. Making me miss my old Japanese CE-2, but my Walrus Audio Julianna has all my chorus needs covered. I was born in the 80's so I never got to play chorus while it was in style. It hasn't stopped me from almost always having one on my board, but I love that John is making it popular again.

August being my second favorite EC album (after Journeyman) this song is really a serious tribute to that era, not only the tone but the licks are Slowhand's best of the best

What a fun video chaps! Tone seeking it's always a wonderful quest to do 🤘🎸

In my opinion, 23:03 thats it!!! For me the magic part is: simple song requires a simple sound and a simple solo. The most simple answer is most probably the correct one, so yeh I can dig that JM might have used a Clapton mid boost, Saldano and CE-2 because thats what Clapton used. I hope that JM never tells us because the mystery makes the song even more special :)

Great tone! The American Strat that Pete played with the mid boost reminded me of Clapton's tone with Cream on the 2005 Royal Albert Hall reunion concert!!

Such a great song, I'm totally obsessed! Great job on this video guys! I think I pretty much nailed the tone with my CE-2 as well on my cover, but with a completely different set of pedals after that :)

#Pete rips those E blues pentatonic blues licks pretty well. Sounding great! A salesman 'With' product knowledge . I can imagine Andertons are pretty well, all sold out on the PRS already. 🌺

I love Lee low key alluding to the fact he DM'ed John on Instagram to ask about the pedals. 😎

Chorus tone added is TIMELESS and even though people will openly disagree it would be nice to see their boards at home and notice everyone has a chorus pedal. Honestly, it belongs at the front of the board for more reasons than one. It has always sounded amazing, just admit it people!!!!!! LOL

As I said on another video and you also mentioned John got some inspiration from Clapton's Journeyman album. Especially "No Alibis and Breaking Point". Similar take on the use of the 80's DX7 type rhythm backing. Sounds to me like possibly an auto-wah or wah with a flanger/vibe.

They look the same, but the Silver Sky pickups and circuit definitely have a different vibe from the average Strat clone. My suggestion…get both.

I totally agree with lees statement about the angel wing chorus it sounded great,really performed well.I’d love to have heard that with the klon,talk about chalk and cheese 😂

In my head, it reminded me of the tone clapton had on "fathers eyes" but once I listened to it, it's much more modulated.

As soon as I saw the official video, I said "Clapton Soldano tone and licks for days." Then, I saw the SLO in the background. I think he recorded it with a Soldano, at least it sounds that way to my ears. Of course, there is way too much buzz over this song and video. Nostalgia is strong, that is for sure.
