I doubt it. It will happen once the music world in general gives up the stigma that he aint that good cause he does pop. But everyone, even the most guitarhead, blues/rock lovers and mainstream pop haters know he is one of the best ever, and it hurts them deep
@@polonC he’s considered the best of our generation, but the problem with our generation is its too underappreciated. our generation is the most proficient guitar generation there ever was but is sadly underrated because the guitar is dying in the current music scene. not to even mention we got some unknown guitarist who’s even more proficient than some greats before which proves my point more
I think he needs to take more risks when it comes to songwriting. He's a talented guitarist but he doesn't showcase it enough, and goes in favour of easy-listening pop songs. He should incorporate more rock and blues elements
Are we not gonna talk about how Steve Jordan absolutely kills it on the drums? And how sick the bell of the cymbal sounds starting at 4:20?! Y'all ain't giving him enough credit!
John Mayer is truly a musician and artist. He is able elicit emotion in notes and chords in a way few masters of the past have and fewer today can. He feels the music and feels him. Thank You John
@@dwiaprialdi5347 compared to what other countries consider beer it’s like the water they use at the factory to clean the machines that make the beer That’s how watered down it is
What if I say to you that she may be out of time cause of the guy who edited this video? I mean, you could fix this, or even, this could be a take from another moment of the music. =)
Yeah I agree that even today this song is still his best one specifically this live version. But based on your comment I think you fully ignored the existence of his songs: Edge of desire, Heartbreak Warfare and Something Like Olivia(Live version is better). Should check those out.
The girl at 2:20 is from a video where John experiments whether or not a someone would save a seat for their friend if John Mayer tried to sit there. She was the only one who kept the seat and so she was given tickets to John Mayers next show. I guess this was the show she went to 😂
John Mayer said at Kimmel that Ed Sheeran "was killing it". I'm sorry, Ed what? You are killing it, John. Always. Greatest guitar player. Wishing you visit Mexico once.
@@skateandmusic15 ignorance? I've never seen Ed Sheeran playing along with Buddy Guy, B.B. King or Eric Clapton. I've never seen Sheeran inducting Stevie Ray Vaughan to the Hall of Fame; I've never seen Sheeran invited to a Michael Jackson memorial and I will never see Ed Sheeran touring, as the lead guitarist, of the Greateful Death. Surely, we will never see Sheeran having half of the skills that John Mayer has. Google those names, ignorant centennial fuck.
As a watch nerd and guitar player who worships JM's play style, cool to see him wearing his AP Concept GMT turb and shredding per norm. Haven't seen him wear something that big since his IWC big pilot days.
John Mayer played like all of the great rock guitarists were merging onto his Autobahn. We love his music and rarely does a day go by without his brilliant songs and complex musicality on our waves up here in Canada.
Found this by "accident" the other day and was stunned to hear him in such good form again. I'd backed away from him for all kinds of reasons and lost track. I've got some listenin' to do...
JM's music will never be out of style. I think he planned it that way and it is working. It will work forever, ad infinitum. He is the Man and the King ❣💎👑
Dude, please never stop playing the guitar. You are my greatest hope to get at least on par with vaughan, hendrix, and all the great. Since the grammies where you played gravity I knew you had what it takes.
Every solo for this song he plays different when playing live. A minor pentatonic with Myxolidian elements. Love the backing track to jam over. Simple song but JM is a genius of course, makes sound it incredible!
I have to add this: John is the farthest thing from being helpless on planet earth! He's got it going on in everything, even places where some 'may' say not. You're BAD baby. Ba-ba-ba-bad! Helpless is not in your vocabulary. Keep strutting your stuff knowing you are a loved Master, the Man and the King ❣🌟💎👑
One of my to do list is; to get my visa and go to LA just to pay for a live event of John Mayer. Or if I can make it to one of his free shows. He’s one of the greatest musicians in our last 20 years. Such a magnificent singer, songwriter and guitarist 🥰
Definitely my favorite song from that album. Awesome sound, awesome lyrics and it reminds me of the Rolling Stone's Miss You... at least in the vibe. Just awesome!!! :D
Bella, John Mayer!! And the one I love the most just said to me, a broken heart is all I’ll ever be... If I’m helpless, tell me now, tell me now, If I’m helpless, tell me now, tell me now... And, I’ll stop tryin’ to figure it out. Help me... Help me... ❤️❤️🌀
I went and I thought I’d be super enthusiastic but truth be told you’re actually so shocked of how good he is live you just kinda admire. Easily the greatest music experience I’ve ever and will ever have.
I am not so sure how people say that JM is underrated. He isn't, he is one of the truly gifted guitarists who has played with the greats of the generation. These include BB King, Buddy Guy, and has even earned critical acclaim from Eric Clapton. He is a gem, and is a holistic mix of all guitar genres.
I love that Jordan and Palladino are still with him.
Someday John Mayer better be in the top 10 of Rolling Stones greatest guitarists of all time list
Isn't he already?
He is pretty good no doubt
I doubt it. It will happen once the music world in general gives up the stigma that he aint that good cause he does pop. But everyone, even the most guitarhead, blues/rock lovers and mainstream pop haters know he is one of the best ever, and it hurts them deep
@@BijBijTCG not even on the list iirc

Pino just killin' it in the back
Maximiliano Padilla hell yes! Keepin' it all funky with Steve Jordan!
damn hell yeahhh
One of a kind!
Don't really love the song.. But keep watching the vid 'cause of Pino (and Steve)
Pino is straight G. Seems very humble and nice gentleman
Love how Pino us just chilling in the back throwing fat bass grooves down, such a character.
Just another fine example of Pino Palladino being one of the best bass player to ever grace the pocket
Was looking for this comment
He’s extremely gifted! His facilities are phenomenal. He’s a
master, I don’t think he even knows how good he is.
Eric Clapton
lol i love john but he definitely knows how good he is
@@matt_greene i mean yeah he clearly has faith in his abilities, just goes to show how much praise and respect other guitarrists have on him xd
wow
I think he needs to take more risks when it comes to songwriting. He's a talented guitarist but he doesn't showcase it enough, and goes in favour of easy-listening pop songs. He should incorporate more rock and blues elements
Omair Sheikh because pop sells, guitar playing doesn’t
Are we not gonna talk about how Steve Jordan absolutely kills it on the drums? And how sick the bell of the cymbal sounds starting at 4:20?! Y'all ain't giving him enough credit!
Oh yeah. Its the drums that really make this song work. And the cymbals. Just what song are you listening to?
Steve Jordan rocks!
That ain't Steve Jordan bro 💀
@@riofutaba3531it’s not?? Dang really does look like him 💀
@@riofutaba3531It literally is though.
John Mayer is truly a musician and artist. He is able elicit emotion in notes and chords in a way few masters of the past have and fewer today can. He feels the music and feels him. Thank You John
well said
People who say John is not a real musician have never heard him play. Unbelievable hands and skills.
This crowd had no idea the greatness they were witnessing.
Honestly, that goes for most of his concert goers. His brilliance goes right over their heads.
3:22 I love how she grooves with her hands
I would drink shitty flavourless american beer to see you John!
LOL same.
is that american beer really flavourless? i've never been in u.s btw
LOL
@@dwiaprialdi5347 compared to what other countries consider beer it’s like the water they use at the factory to clean the machines that make the beer
That’s how watered down it is
@@dwiaprialdi5347 Bud Light is, certainly not all American beer haha. Most of us think it's not very good either.
Massively underrated as a guitarist
Adrian Moore He’s not underrated
Those rakes at 2:00 get me everytime
Favorite part
Mayer is a great raker
I always comeback to see girl at 3:22 'breaking it down' out of time.😀
What if I say to you that she may be out of time cause of the guy who edited this video? I mean, you could fix this, or even, this could be a take from another moment of the music. =)
She a cutie fasho .. lol
looks like madison cunningham tbh
you can see the lights turning on in the beat before and the same lights going on after (in the girl camera angle), so she was actually on time
@@ciriuns Or maybe John switched up the timing on that part from the original recording
3:58 That solo has everything I want in a solo. AMAZING!
What a live performer. One of the best guitarists around
This is honestly his best song he's released since his Continuum days by farrrrrr.
I nominate ''Changing'' especially live with the long outro solo but helpless is also definitely up there
I mean it's bluesy but so many better songs - walt grace? edge of desire?
Yeah I agree that even today this song is still his best one specifically this live version. But based on your comment I think you fully ignored the existence of his songs: Edge of desire, Heartbreak Warfare and Something Like Olivia(Live version is better). Should check those out.

the guy at 0:05 also made it
This performance is a masterclass on soloing
John Mayer said at Kimmel that Ed Sheeran "was killing it". I'm sorry, Ed what? You are killing it, John. Always. Greatest guitar player. Wishing you visit Mexico once.
And India too!
@@adesignerlife sure
special type of ignorance here

Google those names, ignorant centennial fuck.
Rauldiazh that's more special than I thought. Good luck with letting these attitude chains go, it is never too late, kid.
2:20 That’s the proper reaction when you see John Mayer soloing live!!!
Damn i want to die , and be reborn as john mayer
I want be reborn as his fingers lmao.. Sorry Im gonna go to my room now and think about what I said
He's already the reborn Hendrix
@@Juliobalthazar ok that's an exaggeration. But ok....I get what you mean. I just wish he would make more blues stuff rather than pop shit.
@@sasmitroy5480 I'm just glad he incorporates blues into his music, no matter what style it is
@@lachlanford1194 ookay sure
The way he breaks into that second solo gets me every time ❤️
I just saw him at the Toyota center, phenomenal show, absolutely killed Gravity and helpless. Hope to see him another time
As a watch nerd and guitar player who worships JM's play style, cool to see him wearing his AP Concept GMT turb and shredding per norm. Haven't seen him wear something that big since his IWC big pilot days.
Nate Cordova Hey, thanks for the watch ID! :)
Pino is a legend. Just a living legend wow
hand down one of the greatest songs ever written

This song gets me up and out the door in the morning with such happy and positive stride! So groovy! :D
Exactly :)
I'm still in..awe.. That is some piece of real guitar-art that no one can like John Mayer
I have to add this: John is the farthest thing from being helpless on planet earth! He's got it going on in everything, even places where some 'may' say not. You're BAD baby. Ba-ba-ba-bad! Helpless is not in your vocabulary. Keep strutting your stuff knowing you are a loved Master, the Man and the King ❣🌟💎👑
We have eternity, it’s eternal 💕💕
John Mayer is killing it
It’s John Mayer’s world. We’re just living in it.
new album is great, this was great, still rips live
He has a song for that
One of my to do list is; to get my visa and go to LA just to pay for a live event of John Mayer. Or if I can make it to one of his free shows. He’s one of the greatest musicians in our last 20 years. Such a magnificent singer, songwriter and guitarist 🥰
That bass line. 💜
Steve going to the ride at 4:20 elevates the groove to a whole new dimension
All a musician wants is to enjoy every second on the stage! Like John always does. Special artist, you're my favourite John. :)
I thought John Mayer was just a industry pawn... But no. This man is a master musicion make no doubt
steve muthereffin jordan w/ pino palladino. these guys are a dream rhythm section. this is fantastic!
Your "guitar faces" 😁😁😁 Love u so much!
This is the AMAZING John Mayer!
As a female guitarist I don’t know what’s turning me on: his look or the solo. Probably both.
Better be his playing...😀
😂😂😂😂😂..well I'm a man! I'm confused too😅
Understandable, nothing challenges my sexuality more as a straight dude lol
As a man, I say the same thing.
@@Neontrain a friend of mine (straight guy who plays guitar) says the same, I totally get why y'all feel that.
So good...and amazing on guitar!
Wooohoooo...im back still in 2020...yes thank you John for sharing this to be able to watch and listen to anytime i want.God bless ya.
I love that Bass Harmony
living legend, make the most of him.
Definitely my favorite song from that album. Awesome sound, awesome lyrics and it reminds me of the Rolling Stone's Miss You... at least in the vibe. Just awesome!!! :D
Mark Hoskins How about "Still Feel Like Your Man" & "You're Gonna Live Forever In Me"?
I thought exactly the same!!! Same groove as Miss You, which is rare to find
Check out his latest live performance of “Helpless” he plays “Miss You” in the middle of it and it’s great
I love John Mayer can't wait to see your new video
watching now xoxoxo
oh so good i wish i was there at the intimate live show
John!!! You are so effin' awesome. Amazing album, and was ofc. Blown away when you visited Denmark!
Genius mayer!
2:21 guitar face almost as good as john's lmao
The Albert King licks he incorporates into his playing are so cool... a real pioneer of the blues, and a true master of the instrument.
Love the BGVS here and on this album!
Omg omg crazy..... wow best version of helpless i love it
Im back guys to see this epic version again
He is great at guitar, songwriting, performing and also singing.
But.. He must be always thanksful to SRV!
So much of SRV in JM songs and approach.
Really cool song 🎶❤️
What a great vibe John Mayer came up with by creating this song!
0:07 F for the guy of the phone on the left
Pino and Steve wearing sunglasses reppin' the trio! (Or I'd like to think that's why.)
Ahhhh my favourite song! (I say this to each of your songs but whatever)
Woo! JM slayed this one. This might be my new favorite track. This live performance was a beauty too!
He is such inspiration to listen to! His phrasing is so cool! I try every day to improve my guitar. Such a great idol on that guitar ;)
I forgot to breath the whole time 😱 Flawless rhythm.
Everything in this version is just tasty. I can listen to this on loop at home, in the car, everywhere! Love it so much ♥♥♥
❤🔥 This man is... no words!
texas blues meet funky! awesome! thank you John
Incredible mix!
You’re a beast! Can’t get tired to watch this performance. It’s just so well done.
omg john mayer sooo many energy u have....
Bella, John Mayer!! And the one I love the most just said to me, a broken heart is all I’ll ever be... If I’m helpless, tell me now, tell me now, If I’m helpless, tell me now, tell me now... And, I’ll stop tryin’ to figure it out. Help me... Help me... ❤️❤️🌀
Incríveeeeeeeeeeeel! Um ABSURDO de tão talentoso
Mayercito, siempre en mis playlists. 💜
Super, fantastic, love song!!!!❤❤❤💯💯👋👍
why is his crowd never enthousiastic. I mean this guy is one of the best guitarists in the world and they be standing there like ayyy ok.
I went and I thought I’d be super enthusiastic but truth be told you’re actually so shocked of how good he is live you just kinda admire. Easily the greatest music experience I’ve ever and will ever have.

He’s underrated because a lot of music listeners who grew up in the 70s 80s and 90s refuse to acknowledge his talent for how amazing it really is
@@allenruddlesden5412 very very true
Sir John Mayer😍❤Always out of the world music!!Totally in love with your skills and art
Mayer might be the coolest guy to ever live on this planet. He’s such a bad Ass
Muito foda John Mayer

Is this the definition of groove? Of course it is!
John Mayer is an excellent FINGER Picking Guitarist 🙏
This track played live here is TREMENDOUS!
Love this song
That Guitar Solo 🔥❤️
The same drink that gets me out the door is the same drink that puts me on the FLOOR! So True.
What an amazing talent!! Awesome!! Like if you agree.
Hi Sir John Mayer, just wanted to say I love you 😊

Its really michael c hall?

The most listenable guitar player ever
Mayer takes so many risks on the guitar and pulls it off lol. He looks like he's working hard here tho. Crazy talented
Awesome performance 😍😱
Albert king is strong with this one
Excellent Guitarist !!!!!!!!!!
This may be his best tune.
