You 100% need to watch him play gravity live in LA. That single handidly made me pick up a guitar and learn to play. You will be blown away. It really showcases his genius as a guitar player much more than his studio stuff. This song was more of a throwback to sob rock style which is definitely 80s inspired. You're also correct about him being a world renowned guitarist. He's easy top 10 on most people's list and likely more like top 5 or 3.
Mayer is an artist that gone through different style phases in his career. This particular song is from a more recent album that was celebrating an 80s rock pop style. He is very accomplished blues rock guitarist especially in his side project The John Mayer Trio. The guest backing vocalist at the very end is Maren Morris, am accomplished artist in her own right. The Keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes, has also toured with Toto which is why the keyboard vibe seems familiar.
John Mayer is kind of a guitarists guitarist. Recognised as one of the greats by his peers but never quite gets the same public recognition as he should because he crosses the pop threshold where he is taken less seriously. Dig in though cause he is a beast of a musician. The obvious comparison to me is Eric Clapton. Huge inspiration for him and you can hear it. Loved when he and Eric played together live playing Layla and Eric just let him unleash.
I’m always looking for new John Mayer reactions, as popular as he is he doesn’t get enough attention in the TH-cam reactors community, hope you guys come back to his catalogue, any song from the Where The Light is show is gonna blow you away, just give Slow Dancing in a Burning Room a try and you’ll see what I mean

Could not agree more. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room from the same show. Daughters from that show as well.
A tip from Uncle Kicky: Asking a real musician if their music can be classified as yacht rock is a good invitation to get a punch in the head. ;)

John Mayer - Gravity live from LA is awesome 🔥
He also has a few solo acoustic songs from that same concert, specifically “Neon” is fantastic🎸
He's such an excellent guitarist.
Bigger than My Body, Why Georgia, lots more. Extremely talented and deserves more than a label “Yacht Rock”. C’mon guys.
I heard that John Mayer was going for the 80’s sound. I think he achieved his goal.
Great reaction. Waiting on the world to change is a classic!
The keyboardist playing on this great track was Greg Phillinganes, who funnily enough played for amongst many others Toto! Great video!
