Mayer is a guitar maestro, and has produced acoustic rock, pop, blues, blues rock. And has a very great style of singing. In my opinion, as a guitarist and a musician, John is better than Ed. I'm not hating on Ed lol, he is talented, he can sing, from singing on the streets to singing on concerts. He has produced cachy music that has caught the attention of many people. He is no doubt good, but for me, John Mayer is better.
Me too actually. I was hoping it was a new comedy musician. I was actually a little disappointed that it was just John Mayer singing about being hung up on an old relationship even though new hot girls are hitting on him. If he actually releases "knutley in your face" or "stabbed to life" I'd be much more inclined to listen.
Have y'all heard his unreleased b side leak, "i'm the possum that always be finding his way all down up off into your sweet stew"? That is a straight up bona fide classic!
ed sheeran is a hack who cashes in on teenie tinys in 7th grade mind set eric clapton didnt call on that ginger ball of pubes to record a tribute for a legend jj cale
This is hilarious! John is such a good sport! Love the use of a Les Paul instead of his traditional Strat as a part of the disguise. And then he used a Jackson haha!
Man, this is deep. The drummer is a legend, Steve Jordan. The bass player Pino and the lead guitarist, Sharky are legends from D' Angelo's band. Great taste, John Mayer.
Is it just me or is John's bassist with the red bass and sunglasses just the coolest guy ever lol. I notice him in every live performance of John love him.
John plays whatever really, no company can tell him what to play. He plays out of benefit for him and the company, as in the company builds him what he wants, and he promotes it, but if he isn't free to play other stuff I'm pretty sure he is not going to support it, just like he left fender because they were telling him what to play.
Nathan Carrille umm yeah of course he can. I think you miss the irony in it though. I think the point I was trying to make was that I would love to have some of the rare cool guitars he has. Most people never will, but in this performance he chose to play the a pink Jackson... haha.
T Reasons I was gonna look it up after he performed. Instead I am watching John Mayer and I feel like I should have known this from the title but I was convinced that album was real haha.
John is AMAZING live! Saw him in ATL during his Continuum your. It was so good I bought tickets for his next show in Tampa. Please put it on your bucket list. Too hard to put into words how great his shows are.
Clayton Gordon it's real in the sense that people are actually playing instruments, instead of computer generated tracks. And by return I think he means the return to the mainstream. There are plenty of bands playing great real music, but not a lot of it would be considered mainstream. (Not that being left of center is a bad thing.) I'd rather listen to John Mayer than almost anything else on the radio.
Tyler Rowe Great point. That's the same argument used to justify garbage like Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. They have millions of fans so they MUST be good.
James That's not true, if you can actually hear well, you know that they're BOTH good. There's no need to say he's bad just cause he's popular and "mainstream", you're just saying that cause you like to be all hipster and special but Ed is one of the best singer-songwriters right now.
Lol I NEVER said Ed Sheeran was bad. I like Ed but I'm just saying John mayer is better, ever heard of an opinion before? No need to be smart and start assuming things. It makes you look like a fool.
Amysw9 tbh I liked Ed Sheeran but I like guitar driven music so he isn't really my cup of tea lol. I liked his lyrics at one point in time but I kinda grew out of them.
I love seeing Mayer be more playful. Seems like he's growing up and relaxing. His transformation is impressive. Guess a broken heart and a lot of time away from Hollywood can make even the most egotistical person grow up. Love it
God, I love this man's music! Been a fan since he started! Still have the original "Room for Squares" sans the full production! And the new CD is great! What a wonderful song!
Miguel Moreno most fans (I'm not one of Mayer's, but I can appreciate his skill) don't pay attention to the band for "solo" acts like him. That's the shitty part of being a musician without being THE star.
John Mayer, your a trip! We all love you, don't ever forget where you came from, your words hit a depth in my heart no other song or man could ever hit!!!
I always forget how much I really really like this song. I attend a few events a year with my husband for his work. This should be played at more events.
Ed Sheeran is killing it lately because he's playing catchy stuff that sells. He's got a great voice and he's pretty talented, but when it comes to being an actual musician though, putting Sheeran in the same category as Mayer would be an absolute insult to anybody who's ever picked up a guitar. No worries, John -- he'll still be calling you up for album cuts when he isn't good enough to play his own solos lol
Benny the Bear Ed is an awesome rapper. he spits lyrics really fast and most of his songs are written so excellently. don't even try to bash Ed, dudes probably one of the all time best musicians.
Ed CAN be a good musician tho.. his first two albums (Plus and the one before) were lyrical (sometimes even rhetorical) on a really high level imho.. I even like his Multiply and Divide because they are kinda catchy but the songs have worse lyrics imho than the stuff before. I wouldn't compare John and Ed's guitar playing because John evolves his Songs around the guitar and Ed just uses a guitar so he has a tune to sing to.. I think Ed never would want to be the great blues guitarist John is. Ed's latest 2 Albums are more focused on commercial success.. and I can't blame him tbh
1. That pink Jackson is gorgeous. 2. Seeing his rhythm guitarist play a J. Mascis Squier Jazzmaster makes me smile inside. It's such a great guitar. 3. John is a living legend. Period.
That groove got a whole lotta new level cuz Pino is there...right there on the bass. Hats off to MAYER AND PINO and all the other musicians. Admit it.. mayer is the best of the all
Seeing john mayer with a les paul is like seeing slash with a strat
Impolic Geode its a Jackson
U are wrong the first guy was hank. hawk and seeing him with a gibson completely fits into his stylz
Ya, I noticed he was playing a Jackson (not a Les Paul) which is a surprise cuz I thought he had a deal with PRS?
Well the first one
@@khalidmutalib3559 He was talking about the disguise guitar
mayer is so underrated with his comedy approach
he's very funny and witty
@MorbidManMusic Because he made the song that you're copying and posting, that's how he got famous
I'm the 1k like!
ElectrixGuitar99 I’m not going to trust someone who can’t spell guitar.
ElectrixGuitar99 Checked out your videos. I wouldn’t be talking about guitar skills
Thank you Henry for your service
Hahahaha!!!!
You're welcome
Henry was so cute with his ear protection.
You cannot even compare Mayer to Sheeran. They're simply not in the same league. John Mayer belongs with all time greats. True Legend !
Exactly !! Try playing Belief , and if you can, try playing Belief and Sing it at the same time. Bordering on Impossible.
Antoine Maybe Mayer is a better guitarist and writer than Ed, but Ed has a more ranged vocal ability.
Well, but that´s it^^But overall it´s hard to compete with john :D
Mayer is a guitar maestro, and has produced acoustic rock, pop, blues, blues rock. And has a very great style of singing. In my opinion, as a guitarist and a musician, John is better than Ed.
I'm not hating on Ed lol, he is talented, he can sing, from singing on the streets to singing on concerts. He has produced cachy music that has caught the attention of many people. He is no doubt good, but for me, John Mayer is better.
Ed is flat af live are you seriously saying he has more range than Mayer LOL I want what yall are smoking
Ed will go down in the Billboard charts , John will go down in the history books . Legend!
metalheadblues Legend is a different John
@@rowkingsbury945 hahaaaa
People were actually clapping for knutley in your face lmaoo
Me too actually. I was hoping it was a new comedy musician. I was actually a little disappointed that it was just John Mayer singing about being hung up on an old relationship even though new hot girls are hitting on him. If he actually releases "knutley in your face" or "stabbed to life" I'd be much more inclined to listen.
Santiago Gorostiaga dumb zombies
Liberals, what you gonna do
sjtez 🙄🤦🏽♀️
I know that part killed me.
"It was a sex move that I adapted into a fighting style" Great line! lol
VellC I read it as he said it.
VellC Only John Mayer can come up with that line...ahhh bless that man!
Was so funny
Sounds like something Ron Swanson would have said
Sounds like it hurt the first time. Definitely the second time 😂
I wanted to hear "Trapped in the garage" and "Trapped in the garage part 2"
CornKing Bro, Stabbed to Life is a way better song. The groove really cuts through.
You gotta check out "still didn't find the key".. release it just a few weeks ago
Have y'all heard his unreleased b side leak, "i'm the possum that always be finding his way all down up off into your sweet stew"? That is a straight up bona fide classic!
John can never not make an appearance and not be funny or do something wacky and entertaining. What a guy.
.
"It's just that ed sheeran's killing it right now" 😂😂😂
yeet *you haveth been omegaluleth* end me
Ed sheikrun my ass!
Killing what? Mosquitoes?
Ed sheeran is trash compared to Mayer
ed sheeran is a hack who cashes in on teenie tinys in 7th grade mind set eric clapton didnt call on that ginger ball of pubes to record a tribute for a legend jj cale
This is hilarious! John is such a good sport!
Love the use of a Les Paul instead of his traditional Strat as a part of the disguise.
And then he used a Jackson haha!
He has a signiture PRS super eagle now.
Kfir Ochaion Sie, could you please cover a John Mayer please. I am in love with your work and art!
Kfir Ochaion check out dead and company!
He also has been using that pink Jackson for a while
He's using his strats less because he's now allowed to play other guitars than fenders since the break-up between John and Fender
I played in a prog metal band back in the 80’s. Our guitar player owned that pink Jackson you see there and sold it to Norm’s where JM bought it.
Really? Cool story
bruh that’s sick
Is the head backwards? Is Norms in LA ?
It’s a 30th anniversary SL1, likely from the 2014 Winter Namm show
The girls in the crowd are do surprised its john mayer performing. Didnt they notice pino and steve jordan in the back? Lol
fernynando doe sadly i dont think they know who are they :(
And David Ryan Harris who's been with John since before they went through puberty
thank you!
You mean there's more people in the band?!
EXACTLY! LOL
Pino on bass!! Get's me excited for the Trio stuff coming when the tour hits!
Making that p-bass look like a jr
I find such joy in watching John Mayer playing a pink Jackson
he's been playing that since he fell out with Fender, even though Jackson is still technically a Fender company.
pretty sure that is a Grateful Dead Guitar.
Wig Wam Bobbies?
Wig Wam that's not a dead guitar dude Jackson's are made for metal. he plays PRSs with the dead
Hey Jacksons are great guitars!
The guy next to John Mayer is a guitar god - Isaiah Sharkey. John really knows how to hunt for his dream team.
His drummer is Steve Jordan, one of the most highly regarded drummers ever.
And the bassist is Pino Palladino. All legends.
tustinmusic1 you forgot to mention David Ryan Harris. He's great and has been with John since the beginning
and dont you forget about robbie mcintosh!
Sharkley is god but mayer is godder 😂
Man, this is deep. The drummer is a legend, Steve Jordan. The bass player Pino and the lead guitarist, Sharky are legends from D' Angelo's band. Great taste, John Mayer.
I noticed that too… dayum!
The john mayer trio is lethal. Hearing them live in Edmonton was unprecedented. They are on another level.
I choose John Mayer over Ed Sheeran anyday and anytime ! Also a fact John is better writer and music composer than Ed. John is raw talent!!!
Sam you're absolutely right
Not only that but john was praised for his blues chops by eric clapton.
they are both equally as talented
Why must we compare creatives? It's not a competition.
They are uncomparable because they both take a different approach to music
John > Ed
(not hating tho. ed is amazing but john takes the cake today & everyday. )
what i love about jhon is that he puts in this exceptional atmosphere with his hypnotic beautiful voice and guitar play hes just a rare singer .
he's also hot
Is it just me or is John's bassist with the red bass and sunglasses just the coolest guy ever lol. I notice him in every live performance of John love him.
Pino palladino is a True God
Indeed. Benefits of being one of the most sought after bassists in the world.
Lol "Ed Sheeran is killing Lately" ahaha
Fyuesiy Ed Sheeran should tour with Hank Knutley, I'd buy that for a dollar!
its fer a dollar
man i never luaghed so hard. he sounded so hopeless ahahahah
@@simonenoli4418 dare i say "helpess"
I love that John Mayer is endorsed by PRS guitars and has a signature model, but is playing a pink Jackson....
John who?
Mayer
Rich Bischoff not to mention his many beautiful strats he could be playing
John plays whatever really, no company can tell him what to play. He plays out of benefit for him and the company, as in the company builds him what he wants, and he promotes it, but if he isn't free to play other stuff I'm pretty sure he is not going to support it, just like he left fender because they were telling him what to play.
Nathan Carrille umm yeah of course he can. I think you miss the irony in it though. I think the point I was trying to make was that I would love to have some of the rare cool guitars he has. Most people never will, but in this performance he chose to play the a pink Jackson... haha.
But...what happened to Hank? I really wanted to hear Stabbed to Life, and learn about the 'Hawk' sex move/fighting style.
T Reasons I was gonna look it up after he performed. Instead I am watching John Mayer and I feel like I should have known this from the title but I was convinced that album was real haha.
I wanted to watch him playing in the show band.
Not gonna lie, Stabbed To Life sounds like the name of a metal band or metal song
Not gonna lie, Stabbed to Life sounds like the name of a metal band
I know right! Trapped in the garage was a banger and I NEED to hear pt 2..
John is AMAZING live! Saw him in ATL during his Continuum your. It was so good I bought tickets for his next show in Tampa. Please put it on your bucket list. Too hard to put into words how great his shows are.
I meant tour.
plot twist: no disguise, john just let himself go
Nick Chase I want some of the stuff that he is taking then, since he instantly lost 20 - 30 pounds :P .
Still doable.
Forget about John Mayer. He has Steve Jordan and Pino Paladino backing him up on the rhythm section. It doesn't get any better than that.
Sung Ha AMEN!
They are his backup for alot of his tours.
And Isaiah Sharkey on second guitar
John Mayer and the real music comeback
Clayton Gordon If you consider his brand of weepy, breathless, saccharine, vagina bullshit music.
I absolutely, 100% do
Clayton Gordon it's real in the sense that people are actually playing instruments, instead of computer generated tracks. And by return I think he means the return to the mainstream. There are plenty of bands playing great real music, but not a lot of it would be considered mainstream. (Not that being left of center is a bad thing.) I'd rather listen to John Mayer than almost anything else on the radio.
MrIkesimba he and millions of others definitely do consider it music u moron
Tyler Rowe Great point. That's the same argument used to justify garbage like Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. They have millions of fans so they MUST be good.
OMG.. I'm just gonna cry because john mayer and this song are so damn good
Pino and Steve there... nice to see the trio again
This is the transformation I usually expect from one workout
john mayer is LEGEND. No need to worry about Ed Sheeran, John 😄🙌.
Dwina Sharita Adinda yeah Ed's talented but John is in a league of his own
Yeah I agree with you man, Ed's great man but John is fantastic.
And john legend is MAYER.
Julio R. wakakkaa...😂😂👌
Jason Carson thank you 😊
That outfit was too funny and he gave himself a gut. I'm rolling🤣🤣🤣
It would be very funny if years from now that is what Mayer would actually end up looking like.
Axl Rose already pulled that stunt
And we would here like fook Elmer son saw it coming
Rusty Pistol what?
Funny. Cause he got better looking with age.
0:33 "Trapped in the garage" and "Trapped in the garage part 2" seem like perfect songs for 2020/2021
John mayer is better than Ed Sheeran lmao.
completely different artists
James That's not true, if you can actually hear well, you know that they're BOTH good. There's no need to say he's bad just cause he's popular and "mainstream", you're just saying that cause you like to be all hipster and special but Ed is one of the best singer-songwriters right now.

Amysw9 tbh I liked Ed Sheeran but I like guitar driven music so he isn't really my cup of tea lol. I liked his lyrics at one point in time but I kinda grew out of them.
No doubt Ed Sheeran's great, but come on now, John Mayer's a far better lyricist, guitarist, and all around songwriter.
Seeing Pino and Steve laughing in the background made my day! 😂
he kind of looked like a young Johnny Depp with those glasses on and the bandanna.
He luks like young johnny depp even without the bandanna
Johnny Depp in his 50s looks also like a young Johnny Depp lmao
July 2024 .. still love this groove. JM - legend musician and songwriter 🎸🎸🎸🎸☝🏽☝🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pino Paladino just in the background being legendary. Such a good set.
How he sings and plays these riffs so effortlessly and elegantly is so amazing.
I love seeing Mayer be more playful. Seems like he's growing up and relaxing. His transformation is impressive. Guess a broken heart and a lot of time away from Hollywood can make even the most egotistical person grow up. Love it
Steve laughing and Pino smirking in the background as Jimmy undosguises John is great
This lineup runs deep. I would have freaked if I saw anyone of those guys on stage.
Black suit, dark T shirt and this BEAUTIFUL guitar! Excellent fit for this nice little pop tune.
John Mayer is such a legend!! G.O.A.T !!
God, I love this man's music! Been a fan since he started! Still have the original "Room for Squares" sans the full production! And the new CD is great! What a wonderful song!
He should do an entire hank the hawk knutley album and it can be his ziggy stardust
Mega Sauce I really want to hear Stabbed to Life!
I would buy Hank The Hawk Knutley "In your face".!!!!
I love John Mayer so damn much. Ugh. His voice is amazing!
Yeah, his whole band there and people were surprised?
Miguel Moreno most fans (I'm not one of Mayer's, but I can appreciate his skill) don't pay attention to the band for "solo" acts like him. That's the shitty part of being a musician without being THE star.
It's this "Hawk" move, very distracting.
John Mayer, your a trip! We all love you, don't ever forget where you came from, your words hit a depth in my heart no other song or man could ever hit!!!
If I were in that crowd I’d probably know it was John Mayer just because of the band (and his voice of course)
Steve Jordan with a small bass drum and a snare high hat and ride and that's all that is needed for this. We need more drummers like him.
I can’t tell what’s weirder John Mayer with a les Paul or Jackson soloist
actually, john has played with a jackson multiple times.
Omar Akmal cool I’m not a huge John mayor guy so I don’t know to much about him
Super gemacht..
Du bist ein Fantastischer Performer..
Du bist ein wundervoller Mann..
I Love you John Mayer.. 💞💞💞
Ed is an amazing songwriter and great singer w his own style but John Mayer’s pure talent beats mostly everyone else by a landslide!
I always forget how much I really really like this song.
I attend a few events a year with my husband for his work.
This should be played at more events.
Ed Sheeran's awesome, but John Mayer will always be America's singer/songwriter guy. Nothing's changed.
Juan Luna well yeah, because Ed Sheeran isn't American...
Juan Luna America's singer songwriter will always be Bob Dylan. He nearly invented the concept.
I thought Bob Dylan was America's singer/songwriter guy.
Juan Luna well considering that ed sheeran is english i dont think he is going to get that title
Man im from Turkey but I love John Mayer so much he is a legend
Mayer is the all around guitar GOAT. Biggest fan here
He looks good with that Jackson. I can dig it.
Saw John in concert last year. He truly is incredible. His concerts sound just like the studio music. Super impressive.
Love how Mayer rocks an 80s hair metal guitar!
The Sunseeker They’re also popular jazz fusion guitars. I think he was going for a jazzy tone here.
@@CactusJack_AWE pretty weird that they use Jackson Soloists for Jazz lol
vlchrxs - Gang jazz fusion not jazz. A lot of modern jazz fusion has a lot of metal influence and they often use guitars like jacksons
Stabbed to life sounds like a metal af song.
John Mayer playing a Jackson?? Did not see that coming.
Effortless guitar playing, dude's amazing.
Ed Sheeran is killing it lately because he's playing catchy stuff that sells. He's got a great voice and he's pretty talented, but when it comes to being an actual musician though, putting Sheeran in the same category as Mayer would be an absolute insult to anybody who's ever picked up a guitar.
No worries, John -- he'll still be calling you up for album cuts when he isn't good enough to play his own solos lol
Chris W i feel that brother i bloody hate ed especially when he tries to rap
Funny how he did exactly that, Ed called John to do his guitar solo on one of his new songs because he couldn't do it himself!
Benny the Bear Ed is an awesome rapper. he spits lyrics really fast and most of his songs are written so excellently. don't even try to bash Ed, dudes probably one of the all time best musicians.
OneVersionGaming Ed does romantic ballads best. His first album is a masterpiece, but his latest one is just nothing spectacular unfortunately.
Ed CAN be a good musician tho.. his first two albums (Plus and the one before) were lyrical (sometimes even rhetorical) on a really high level imho..
I even like his Multiply and Divide because they are kinda catchy but the songs have worse lyrics imho than the stuff before. I wouldn't compare John and Ed's guitar playing because John evolves his Songs around the guitar and Ed just uses a guitar so he has a tune to sing to.. I think Ed never would want to be the great blues guitarist John is.
Ed's latest 2 Albums are more focused on commercial success.. and I can't blame him tbh
I hope not being the only one who notices the quality of the music and the whole arrengement
Thanks jimmy I was looking forward to hearing what would have gone down if the hawk played
How can people forget him...how can people forget how good he is
hes got the batman jaw.
Was hoping he would play moving on and getting the over, but was still funky. Man his band is solid. Love Pino, JJ and DRH together
That “keep your shampoo in the shower” line HITS a real deep spot.
Great Disguise, Soulful Song, Funny Bit and Sounds Like a Hit!
What an absolute legend you are John!!!
2020 and John still the goat.
I still feel like a man.... with a Pink Jackson that has a Floyd and singing in BeeGees falsetto.
The title of the song is 'Still Feel Like Your Man', but that comment is just great
The artist formerly known as Hank Knutley. I'm calling John Mayer this for life.
There’s like 5 legendary musicians in his band.
1. That pink Jackson is gorgeous.
2. Seeing his rhythm guitarist play a J. Mascis Squier Jazzmaster makes me smile inside. It's such a great guitar.
3. John is a living legend. Period.
Not only he's talented, he's hilarious too
Pino nailing those basslines! Also Steve Jordan at 2:19 laughing at how ridiculous this is 😂
All guitar players that watched this live knew it was John solely because of the pedal board😂😂
John is the one of the most talented singer + songwriter + musician the world has ever seen.
John is a music genius of his generation! What a talent!
Pino and Steve trying to keep it together during this skit is hilarious! :)
Imagine being called a master by slowhand himself while people still identify John as a pop artist.
I'd like to hear John on a Les Paul tough, I'm sure it would be great... he transforms any guitar he touches into gold.
OMG, 4:10 when that giant praying mantis swing his head as the beat started really turn the vibe on....
lol love this band !!!
Widia Nanta I'vr always thought Pino Paladino was kinda like a gigantic praying mantis too lmao
there’s something i’ll never get used to, and it’s John Mayer playing a pink Jackson
Would've been great if he started playing as Hawk and public just would figure it out. I was expecting that
how he plays the guitar so intricately yet casually as he sings lyrics. the brain has got to be working overdrive but it’s prob simple for him
You can tell John's been into that Hall and Oates
You could see Paladino and Steve Jordan back there, the pink Jackson, everything lol. It was as obvious as it was great! Thank you Henry...
John is just in another level
That groove got a whole lotta new level cuz Pino is there...right there on the bass. Hats off to MAYER AND PINO and all the other musicians.
Admit it.. mayer is the best of the all
Steve Jordan on drums, rock solid feel.
I’m such a dork, seeing Pino on the bass would’ve given away John’s identity to me 😅
I was extremely disappointed when they revealed it was John Mayer before he even started singing. SMH
So much guitar talent in that stage damn
