I met John once when I used to work for Sony Music. The dude took the time to meet record label staff before his gigs. And he'd hang. No rush. He'd ask you questions and try get to know you. I liked that about him, he was genuine. Anyway, I fell in love with him from that point on and really got into his albums and this became my fav song of his.

Hey Abhinav - as a guitarist for almost 50 years now, I 100% agree with you - simply beautiful, understated, lyrical and utterly perfect for that moment in the song. This is why people should be inspired by their guitar heroes but always cut their own path and NOT try and imitate their sound and style. Sure I've "stolen" licks and ideas from all the greats, Mayer included, but there is a saying that "comparison is the thief of joy" which always rings true to me. I can never be Hendrix, Page or Mayer - I can only be me, just like they could never be Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters or BB King. Mayer is a true great of modern blues. Last guy close to him in last 30 years for me was Robert Cray. Anyway... those sublime slides man 😍

I was 19 and when I first heard Continuum I knew it was great, but took me until now, 33 years old, to really appreciate how diverse he is as a musician. Few artists actually go out and try something new or different. And by John Mayer doing that he has created everything from pop to folk to blues to country tunes. And they are all great because that man knows how to write great songs. You can be a guitar virtuoso, which he is, but you have to be able to write great songs. He stays true to himself via the music and in his song writing. And i am a life long fan.

This is one of the greatest live solo he ever did ! Flawless !

I totally agree with how amazing he is, However I wouldn't say under rated by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone knows this man, he's played with BB King and many others. He's doing well for himself. As he very well should. There is one pretty underrated guitarist I know who deserves more credit, and his name is Rabea Massad. Look up some of his 10-15min jams with his friends on youtube. He does a lot of stuff I love with blues and rock. Not a real big fan of his metal stuff, but to each his own, he's still awesome.

I wonder if people in the audience realized what they were witnessing in this performance? This is one of the most stylishly masterful, technically magnificent, live guitar performances ever captured. Clapton, the greats...anyone who plays would agree...after they picked their collective jaw up off the ground....I guarantee. Think what you will about the man or his celebrity or whatever - but there aren't any left like this. Just had to be said. Carry on with your day.

@@kevinjohnbetts someone just posted Brad Paisley and John Mayer crossroads from way back when Mayer's 2nd album debuted. And its impressive. Brad is great but you can tell Mayer is on a different when they are playing. Also it's back when Mayer wanted to make sure everyone knew he could shred and he was certainly showing off during some bits lol especially on "come back to bed".

3:10 holy crap that was so clean

if you play guitar, you will respect him as a master

I'd like to had seen Prince and John Mayer perform a duo, then have them play alternating solo's. Both being great performers not just behind a mic, but their ability to make their guitars gently weep.

It's not a silly little moment It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath of this love we've been working on Can't seem to hold you like I want to so I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you we pulled too many false alarms We're going down and you can see it too We're going down and you know that we're doomed y dear we're slow dancing in a burning room I was the one you always dreamed of you were the one I tried to draw how dare you say it's nothin to me baby you're the only light I ever saw I make the most of all the sadness you'll be a bitch because you can you try to hit me just hurt me so you leave me feelin dirty cause you can't understand We're going down and you can see it too We're going down and you know that we're doomed My dear we're slow dancing in a burning room Go cry about it why don't you Go cry about it why don't you Go cry about it why don't you My dear we're slow dancing in a burning room Don't you think we oughta know by now Don't you think we should have learned somehow Don't you think we oughta know by now Don't you think we should have learned somehow
