I can't tell you how tired I am of this discussion. Under every single John Mayer video some idiots have to constantly compare Mayer to SRV, Clapton, Hendrix, B.B. King,... I mean - what is the point of doing that? First of all, it seems like people cannot get over the fact that Mayer is a undoubtedly great guitarist. You just can't say that he's a "bad" or average player. That's just not true! Simply judging him on his technique, speed, touch and tone this guy is a fucking great guitarist and far above the average player. I also think that blues lovers and Mayer critics can't get over the fact that he is so versatile. He came from Acoustic pop, went on to the blues and now ended up making two country records. Imagine SRV writing a pop song - I don't know if he could pull it of. And he doesn't have to but all I'm saying is that Mayer succeeded in every single genre by winning Grammy's, getting great feedback by other artists and selling millions of records. To me that is what makes him such a great musician that he is a pure pop artists, while being able to play a fucking solid and beautiful blues (Out Of My Mind), and on top playing some laid back country without using all the cheesy lyrics. People can't wrap their head around someone who can do that. Step into another genre and just cracking it. Many blues players dedicated their life to Blues music and there's nothing wrong with that. But there's this Mayer guy who dedicated his life to all sorts of music so he can't be the master of every single genre he plays. Well, he's definitely on his way to become a true legend if you ask me. Then thirdly all those people judging him and his guitar skills constantly try to argue against Mayers unassailable recognition by other artists. Clapton doesn't just say things like: 'He is a master guitar player.' for no reason. He isn't inducting SRV in the Hall Of Fame for no reason and so on. And then there's the big discussion over his private life. Oh my God. Get a life people! When I'm interested in music I don't care about who's girl this guys sleeping with. And if you're that kind of guy you at least gotta respect him for sleeping with a list of women many of us would be happy to only shake hands with. Imagine you're getting overpured with money and fame in your early twenties. How would you react? It's just plain naive and stupid to judge him on mistakes he made without us being in his position. Anyway, that's just what I've been thinking.

+Maximilian Bartel Spot on. I just said that to a friend the other day, i think most of the people that are hating on Mayer just can't handle how badly they wanna BE HIM, because he's so successful, talented etc. You can hate his music but even blues purists (i'm one of them) would have to admire his unbelievable feel on the guitar. he just has it. I'm not hooked on any other modern guitarist, as i am on Mayer's playing. Gary Clark Jr. is OK but no one can solo like Mayer, his intensity was last captured only by SRV. A few other great players that give me hope - Doyle Bramhall II, Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales. And a few younger players like Quinn Sullivan, Roy Goren.. They have some serious talent but they'll have to work on developing their own style like how Mayer, Bonamassa and Trucks did.

John and BB = best thing in the world

"One more time BB King, one more time!" classy givin' it up for class.

"I'll be voting for each and every one of you!" His facial expression right after he said that is priceless.

What I think is great about John is he is a playing chameleon. His usual style has a lot SRV and Hendrix but when he's playing with BB, he phrases his licks like BB. You can see the same thing when he plays with Clapton. Really versatile guitarist.

In 2022 I wish the people that still refer to John at the wonderland guy would watch this! Amazing!

The Jonas Brothers are just enjoying the good music, like everybody else in that room!

Nothing but the blues

Yeah. Nothing like a bit of king and Mayer ♥️♥️. Geniuses

Can you blame JM for crossing over, there are few blues clubs, even fewer radio stations that feature blues.its expensive to tour. He has talent and usually includes some blues in his show, so he's contributing in a bigger way than if he became an obscure footnote in the blues world...there are too many of those already.

They look like they are having so much fun togheter

It’s 2020 and I still get chills watching this performance. Wish this song and duo was on a record or something so I could listen to it on repeat

Great video with B.B King and John Mayer, fucking awesome blues Love it

you can't determine who is better...they are both great guitarists. they both highly respect each other.

Really makes a good combination

Blues will live I'm an up and coming blues artist out of PA and I will continue to keep it alive I was big in NY now I'm spreading in PA

Wonderful, wonderful BB King, what a privilege John Mayer, you are good and will be better as time rolls..

I could cry watching old pap😢😥

I wish that John Mayer would stick almost strictly to playing the blues. The only hope for the blues with the new generation is John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall 2 and Keb Mo.

Mayer held back bigtime. He's a modest guy (well not really...) but he needs to take charge and show everybody that he's the best guitarist in the world - by far.

this is what i call music

2.20 "John And B.B is in town" look at the face of the King! AWESOME!

no doubt john is the best blues player in his time..

haeven voice bro..perkhhhh..

i love how john has a huge pedal board but bb keeps it simple.

3:23 - 3:32 I love how it builds up and then John Mayer does that bend I dont know but it just sounds really good , even though its something that basic.

woow the Horns and the Jonas love

Use to think he was just a pop new up and commer but hes super phenomenal and super articulate speaking.

jonas brothers are amazed at real talent.
