He's earned it many times over. JM and Derek Trucks have summited the heights of guitar god on the trail out of blues/pop. There are other routes though, like the hard rock wizardry of Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan, the compositional complexity of Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders and Yvette Young of Covet, ... It's a great time for guitar greatness! ♥️🤗🎸🔥
How the hell around 0:45 is he plucking those high strings while kachugging on the other strings?!! Please tell me there is another guitarist outside the video frame. Incredible. Update: I've found a Tomo Fujita video where he teaches the kachugging, but no high chiming.
@@skierpage those were double stops in key of F# major. he does the triplets (kachugging) while muting the strings and adds the double stops randomly between the tempo
@@grecco4037 your "... and adds the double stops" reminds me of the guru teaching levitation: 1. Lift one foot. 2. Lift the other foot. 2a No, why did you put your first foot back on the ground?! Many-levels-beyond skills 🤪
Jeremy Mazuca please fill me in on who he stole these licks from. Having influences and incorporating some of their playing and licks into your own is just fine. I don't think it would be possible for anyone not be a "lick stealer" in one way or another
Anything this handsome talented man does is the best version ever... I listen to him daily, love all his music including his blues and his Dead & Co. I do have my favorite concert versions I watch over and over and some are older ones, his Good Love Is On The Way and Vultures is Live in LA version. He does not have any bad versions!!
Jesus, just when I tought I've seen everything from this man, he keeps coming with awesome stuff. His talent and inspiration are truly endless. That scratch thing on the guitar at the begining was fuckin awesome
Single coils. Thank the Gods that John is here to punch the tones that modern music seems to push aside. Everything has to be fat humbucker dirty tone. Definition and the silence in between is every bit as key to quality tone/music, as the notes and hand manipulation performed by a master.
This intro is bananas🍌🍌🍌Transported JM to a whole 'nother stratosphere of guitaring. He wasn't there. It was his hologram beamed in. Hail to the King ❣❣👑
I love how he groove right into the song after the intro. It’s like he’s unleashing the soul behind this songs groove, just legendary Mayer doing legendary things. 🤘🏼
@@yourmomshouse6984 it’s in f Look up srvs cold shot and learn that and then come back to this. Also if your not playing a high headroom amp it’s not going to pick up the nuances in the attack like a D style amp will.
One can definitely see the growth and maturity of his playing skills since the 2010 version of this song was recorded. It helps to be playing with the best rhythm section in the world too.
imagine how crazy it must be to be john mayer. I mean you're born pretty well. I admire him because he pushed himself, and his parents didn't really help him out. I had the struggle, but the fact that he lived through all this. I bet he is very much satisfied with his life at this point.
I love this version of ‘Vultures’ but my favorite will always be his rendition from Live at Pinkpop 2010. That performance will go down as a top 5 John Mayer performance of all time for me. You SRV fans out there will agree.
no solo lo que hace es dificil no solo suena a john mayer no solo sorprende con sus tecnicas sino que emociona te pone a disfrutar, no es como otros virtuosos que no emocionan solo tocan rapido y hacen locuras pero no conmueven nada
Steve Jordan and him swapped instruments in a few of his older shows live. He’s a decent percussion player, definitely due to his great sense of rhythm on the guitar. What’s more impressive is his ability to keep in time with a Steve Jordan playing bar chords lol.
Had a really cool jam intro to vultures in Milwaukee cuz it wasn’t on the setlist and he spontaneously decided to play it off of a fan’s recommendation so he was stalking for the band to switch out instruments
So what you're telling me John, while I'm hearing the most dope version of Vultures you're gonna throw Rage against the Machine in there? Get out of town 😂
Yes, he said something like he always wanted a little RATM in his music! Then he told the crowd to come back tomorrow night and watch him try to replicate it but without the magic lol
Some of us, we're hardly ever here The rest of us, we're born to disappear How do I stop myself from Being just a number How will I hold my head To keep from going under Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me How did they find me here? What do they want from me? All of these vultures hiding Right outside my door I hear them whisperin' They're tryin' to ride it out They've never gone this long Without a kill before Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me Wheels up I got to leave this evening Can't seem to shake these vultures Off of my trail Power made by power being taken So I keep on running To protect my situation Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me Whatcha gonna do about it?

John Mayer is the most prestigious guitarist of the 21st century.
Daniel Betancourt what the hell

Protect him at all cost
No doubt 👀
@@skierpage Towson Abasi is insane. Completely self taught I’ve heard
You can really see the influence Tomo had on him with that percussive intro, love it!
Tom Morello from RATM vibes! he even hinted a little RATM riff on the ending solo, awesome
@@FikriIzzaldini think you're wrong, Fraser is saying Tomo Fujita ... not Tom Morelo from Rise against the machine
the begining. wtf was that. he is more than a guitarist. creative genius.
How the hell around 0:45 is he plucking those high strings while kachugging on the other strings?!! Please tell me there is another guitarist outside the video frame. Incredible.
Update: I've found a Tomo Fujita video where he teaches the kachugging, but no high chiming.
skierpage Hey can you link that Tomo Fujita video? Thanks.

Many-levels-beyond skills 🤪
@@skierpage well tomo was his teacher so
Pino Palladino got serious grooves with the bass in the background
Groove is there in force
He is unwavering in his glory back there.
Daniel Edin right hes the best along with nathan east and jack bruce
REALLY serious ones
God he is so underrated I hate it. Just watch this man go that's some of the best playing I've ever seen
Justin Hobgood I wouldn't say he's underrated.. he's well recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of our generation
Sean Doyle I feel you on that but he's hated on a lot and doesn't get enough recognition in my eyes
Justin Hobgood he is great! Unfortunately people realize how good a person is when they are dead!
there is no such thing as a lick stealer haha.
Jeremy Mazuca please fill me in on who he stole these licks from. Having influences and incorporating some of their playing and licks into your own is just fine. I don't think it would be possible for anyone not be a "lick stealer" in one way or another
That grunt after he sings “wheels up” is what I live for
Wings up
@@TheSadMusician nah bro it’s ‘wheels up’
3:46
4:05 most in tune note hitted ever. Amazing. Increidlbe. Unbelievable.
the voice of an angle
Holy shit, thats the best vultures version ive ever seen
Best live Vultures version (Live in LA) High Def, just saying....but actually anything he does is great!!

Live in LA
Naw, Pinkpop 2010 y'all
Alex McMullen can’t believe I was there for this ! I feel very lucky right now
Jesus, just when I tought I've seen everything from this man, he keeps coming with awesome stuff. His talent and inspiration are truly endless. That scratch thing on the guitar at the begining was fuckin awesome
Sorin M thats why he is my favorite
@@DannyShipleyMusic It’s a guitar technique called, ‘scratch’. Players like Tom Morello are really good at it as well.
@@Shendowa Yeah, I use it all the time too. It sounds great with funk and soul music.
Tomo Fujita Style baby!!
Single coils. Thank the Gods that John is here to punch the tones that modern music seems to push aside. Everything has to be fat humbucker dirty tone. Definition and the silence in between is every bit as key to quality tone/music, as the notes and hand manipulation performed by a master.
Thats exactly the reason why Clapton switched to hard tail Strats when he matured out of his early career
Single coils are everywhere in pop music today .. unless you are talking about modern rock
This is the most real comment
He was feeling extra funky that day. Whooooo
His lead playing is amazing but his sense of rhythm has always been off the charts
Dam john can make a guitar sing he’s a legend
Also pino.. you’re like a lamp post dude I love you
Favorite version for sure. When he’s feelin’ it he’s so damn good. Even more so than normal.
One of the great blues trios. Mayer is a Guitar God
awesome, but I prefer Derek Trucks
@@anitafraga not really relevant to this.
Trucks is great tho
This intro is bananas🍌🍌🍌Transported JM to a whole 'nother stratosphere of guitaring. He wasn't there. It was his hologram beamed in. Hail to the King ❣❣👑
Just when you think he's pulled out every trick out of his bag and then this.
his sense of for rhythm is out of this world
3:41 her scream was perfectly in time & pitch w/ the guitar solo lol
Andy Jay it wasssssss❤🙌😍😭
HANDS DOWN BEST guitar player period!
It was the best concert I ve ever seen, I went to London from Czech republic only because of John.
This man is unstoppable, what a performance John..
Was really hoping to hear this song when he came to Toronto earlier.
This will do just fine.
I love how he groove right into the song after the intro. It’s like he’s unleashing the soul behind this songs groove, just legendary Mayer doing legendary things. 🤘🏼
In the universe of John Mayer, where everything is by default extremely at the top, this is one of the most inspired performances I've seen
nice to see him adding more and more improv to this work, dead factor rubbing off! always loved trio and this song in particular.
Dude everytime I think I have seen all of Mr. Mayer's work TH-cam gives me a new version!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am dead!
That intro alone...unreal!!!Much, much more to come from this kid.The boys got talent, bucket loads!!☘
The 17 people who gave this a thumbs down clearly have no clue what was going on here. MOVE ON!!!
I gotta learn that intro... time to keep this video on repeat for a couple months😂
lol honestly though
Lmk if you guys tab it out😂
@@yourmomshouse6984 it’s in f
Look up srvs cold shot and learn that and then come back to this. Also if your not playing a high headroom amp it’s not going to pick up the nuances in the attack like a D style amp will.
that's why he's the best blues guitarist of current era.
i feel proud that i have witnessed him as a greatest musician of our generation !
Would come back to this all my life.
0:39 has to be one of the coolest licks i've ever heard
If you like this, check “going for ads” by moving units
Its a very similar sound, its awesome
Every time i think I’ve seen every brilliant John Mayor clip out there, he just goes an does…this…
legend of our time
Shoutout to Michael Rosen behind John. Seriously, though, my favorite guitar player and I'm glad to be alive for his reign
One can definitely see the growth and maturity of his playing skills since the 2010 version of this song was recorded. It helps to be playing with the best rhythm section in the world too.
I think continuum was earlier mate, regardless it speaks volumes about his growth on the instrument and as musician
John’s music just so beautiful, it’s so good he can enjoy it for decades and we can enjoy even more! Keep on rocking 🤘❤🫡
Now that's how you improvise!
Damn this guy's a genius
His timing is perfect.
This is what being on fire looks like
wtf this is the most creative version of Vultures...
The tone here is gold.
clicked for the intro, came back for the smooth solo.
No one talking about the little Bulls On Parade he added in there
God I hope this makes it to a live record if he makes one for the world tour. This was fuckin' incredible
imagine how crazy it must be to be john mayer. I mean you're born pretty well. I admire him because he pushed himself, and his parents didn't really help him out. I had the struggle, but the fact that he lived through all this. I bet he is very much satisfied with his life at this point.
This song just brings out the best in him.
this song is John Mayer
This has to be the best version.
Nothing beats John with a fender
mother is on fire, why is he so underrated ?
Wowwww what an artist💯
im jealous him, he is great in any aspect, as an artist, entertainer, and so on
Wow..there is a person that is best..I mean look how amazing this is..what!!!✌🏻✌🏻✨🕊✨🙏✨🙏👍👍👍👏👏🤝🤝🤝✌🏻
I've been watching this video as my daily dose. Been watching this video since it came out and probably gave this video like 1,000 views alone lol.
His neck bob at the beginning always gets me 😂
Not only the intro is awesome.
I love this version of ‘Vultures’ but my favorite will always be his rendition from Live at Pinkpop 2010. That performance will go down as a top 5 John Mayer performance of all time for me. You SRV fans out there will agree.
Great groove by Steve and Pino
This man can do no wrong.
how he put a RATM riff in the middle of a rythym section escapes me
Best guitarist of this generation- right up there with Hendrix - EVH and that’s coming from someone that plays and loves EVH/JH
Excellent as usual.
no solo lo que hace es dificil no solo suena a john mayer no solo sorprende con sus tecnicas sino que emociona te pone a disfrutar, no es como otros virtuosos que no emocionan solo tocan rapido y hacen locuras pero no conmueven nada
Best Vultures I’ve seen
F*cking hell. He’s got his super bad ass pants on especially for this one. Legendary.
I got some Tom Morello vibes in that intro, so awesome. Also, Pino is the king of modern bass.
my boy just started playing bulls on parade by the end
John has some amazing rhythm. I wonder how he would be on drums? He would be wasted on drums but still he has amazing timing.
He's played drums on a couple of the recordings of his songs, forget which ones specifically but he's said he has before
Connor Wrynn I did not know that. I would assume he would've messed around on them but not recorded it on a track.
David D look him up playing drums on Rosie, he definitely keeps the groove going
Steve Jordan and him swapped instruments in a few of his older shows live. He’s a decent percussion player, definitely due to his great sense of rhythm on the guitar. What’s more impressive is his ability to keep in time with a Steve Jordan playing bar chords lol.
Had a really cool jam intro to vultures in Milwaukee cuz it wasn’t on the setlist and he spontaneously decided to play it off of a fan’s recommendation so he was stalking for the band to switch out instruments
That intro was stupid good!
I love his little hops
Best ever for me.
Genial un maquina
So what you're telling me John, while I'm hearing the most dope version of Vultures you're gonna throw Rage against the Machine in there?
Get out of town 😂
Hahaha, it's amazing!
The groove, my god
JOHN MAYER 🐐
John es icreible
Best version ever?
5:02 RATM - Bulls On Parade :D
I love Pigeon Mayer
Brutal
Was I the only one getting Bulls On Parade vibes at 5:15 ?
I was there and he mentioned it at the gig
Yes, he said something like he always wanted a little RATM in his music! Then he told the crowd to come back tomorrow night and watch him try to replicate it but without the magic lol
How about 4:07 the one singing in the background? Hahaha
How does he do that triplet technique at 00:52??
I think he got it from Tomo Fujita, he explains it here, and you can find several videos of them playing together.
/watch?v=r3NaPT4jcLg
James Dillon Young Got it! Thanks!
But how is he getting the chiming strings runs at the same time? Is he unmuting those strings and then pull-offs? Guitar wizardry.
It's actually not a triplet. It's a grouping of one eighth note and two sixteenth notes.
Its a herrta not a triplet
Best guitarist ever for sure ... that's just incredible 🎉
Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin' to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power made by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Em Sao Paulo eu teria ido ver o John Mayer que eu gosto.
Dayyyyum!
damn, Pino is so cool back there 🕶️
We need Stratocaster JM back now more than ever
everybody a gangsta until the boss brings his guitar riffs out
Pino looking fly as fuck in the background wtf
That intro had shades of Morello! How do you continue to add dimension to your sound?
how can he get such tone ？ damn it
mrPACarrier and amazing fingers !
I hope the guitar is over 18
John is channeling SRV. Awesome.
Best quote I. Ever heard about John mayer was by Eric Clapton......" I knew John was good....but not like that "...
Wtf is he even doing?! Who combines so many different styles and so much feeling into one song that a mere three piece band plays?!?
I wish there were tabs or something for this performance
I couldn’t even imagine what the beginning would look like
That tone 🔥
