      I started dating a woman 8 years older than me a year and a half ago.i asked her if she wanted to hear some good music! She said yes! So I played Vultures! She said no no no! I don't like John Mayer. I said just listen. When the song was over, she said.... Can we hear it again!?!? It was over for her at that point. We're going to see him in April!

      Dude every time I listen to this song I think of this comment and I never quite get it. Not that I disagree. But what exactly makes you feel like this song is so complete?
      It’s in my Top 5 Mayer songs for sure maybe higher, but I can never quite put my finger on why I love it so much…
      Could you explain your thought process?

    Not trying to compare or make hotheads angry, but this song and performance, with the organ bluesy version, the slowly built up climax and the jam at the end to let you just enjoy the chords make me think it could have been a composition by The Doors and America, think about it. John Mayer is not in the crowd of current artists anymore, this is just Legendary! An artist that will remain in the new age of geniuses.

      Maybe a day will come where John Mayer haters will realize it's all about the tunes man. You can be a great guitarist, world renown even, but if you can't write great songs it doesn't much matter. And John Mayer always delivers and his songbook is large and diverse.

    I love the new hippie John Mayer. It seems like every album he puts out he reinvents himself. I'm so glad he left a lot of the bubble gum sound he had on his "hit" songs in the early 2000's. When he made the discussion to let the world know that he was not just a normal guitar player but a guitar monster it bought him an older crowd of fans ranging from 20's to 70's. I think you can thank Buddy Guy for that when he did Austin City Limits with John. He devoted half the show to his "hits" and then he got down with Buddy Guy and let the world know Johnny ain't messing round.

      Al Kelly Only weak guitar players go on TH-cam to criticize and compare guitarists. Real musicians see that John Mayer knows what he's doing musically. And he plays with so much soul!

      @arnolddealiii4259 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think comparing Steve Morse to John Mayer or even Allen Holdsworth is comparing Apples to Oranges. Allen is a fantastic guitar player in Jazz Fusion and if that's what you like then yeah your right John isn't going to really do that. But I myself don't really care for Jazz fusion, I think they are brilliant but it just sounds like a guy that can use all 4 digits on his hand going off wide open for 5 minutes while the drummer tries to keep up with what ever changes Allen is going to do next. 2 minutes of listening and you've heard it all. I think John Mayer could step into that as style of music if he wanted to but I think the sales point for John is he is as equally gifted writing music as he is soloing over the music with a guitar. I think he used to have a great voices, but his surgery has clearly restricted his vocal range which hopefully with a vocal coach and training will return if not get better. I most certainly don't think he's the best guitar player in any form of music, but I think he can hold his own with anyone living or from past generations. To sum it up he pretty damn good!

    John’s concert in Baltimore following The Search for Everything release, was simply amazing! I have seen him perform numerous times, but this night was the best of his shows I have had the pleasure to attend. I wish it could have gone on and on. I have seen many concerts of many artists over the years and this show is in my top 5 ever. Sublime. He is just so darn talented. 🙂

    Maybe a day will come where John Mayer haters will realize it's all about the tunes man. You can be a great guitarist, world renown even, but if you can't write great songs it doesn't much matter. And John Mayer always delivers and his songbook is large and diverse.

      I believe Continuum and Born and Raised are his two best albums. And 3rd is close between Room For Squares and The Search For Everything. I give the nod to the latter, but many would disagree.

  • @aw4925

    I'm here again after listening to John talk about this song in an interview about the making of "born and raised".

    Such a talented song writer never mind the guitar work. A complete John Mayer experience in one song. The whole album is quality.

    i've watched this video so many times and have stripped the audio to play as an mp3 in my car to jam out to. the crowd is so dead though. kudos to the kids in the corner trying to rock out to the song tho. I don't think there's a better live version of this song recorded elsewhere in concert.
