For me, this solo is pretty much as the BB used to say, that when he's playing he feels like he's talking: here, while being completely different from BB stuff, I feel like JM is talking though his Stat. Amazing!
It was an amazing concert, you could tell he was enjoying it the whole time and putting all his effort into a great performance. He's so good blues-rock!

John Mayer, I hope you read this: Please make a studio version of this song. And please don't make the guitar solo any shorter. Thumbs up people if you agree!
JM really did nail this cover. Actually, he knocked it waaaaay out of the universe with that otherworldly riff circa 3:15. - truly rips through the multiverse with that string of epic fretboard activity... wow. All that being said....CLAPTON IS GOD!!!!
I love this version of this song. The song itself gives the impression that the songwriter is happy about the breakup and basically saying "good riddance," and then John adds this bittersweet element in the song that Clapton might not have initially intended.
Lol he didn’t change the key of the song. He’s still playing in the key of g major during the solo, but I do agree that solo is overflowing with emotional impact
John Byers nope he switches into G minor during some bits of the solo to give it a bluesy feel, he does it with lots of other songs and if the song is minor then he goes to the relative major and plays in the minor of that

I'd been feeling this song for quite a while now, great to see him make it his own. I still think Clapton did it best, though, respect given first of course
When I saw this I was ready to vote it down, but the kid has chops, I'll give him that. I love EC's quieter songs absent the ripping solos but found myself repeating Meyer's take. Well done.
I don't care if you never come home I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea 'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me You cause a commotion when you come to town You give 'em a smile and they melt Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I don't care what you do at night Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights I'm gonna leave you alone I'll just let it be I don't love you and you don't love me I got a problem Can you relate?

Can anyone name the chords he's using? Clapton's version is just your simple major chords but Mayer seems to have put a more intrinsic spin on the chord progression. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
+Jordan McKenna Same chords, just played in inversion form i.e. the G is played as a triad with a root G on the E string during the verse and then as an open G chord with the thumb playing the root note in the chorus.
Looks like he's just uses barred chords for the verses and open chords in the chorus. The Am looks like an Am7 instead, which sounds good given A's 7th is G, the key of the song.
JM is the real deal. I'm 60. I was lucky enough to see all the greats except Jimi. In my humble opinion JM belongs in the top tier of guitarists. The work he's doing with Dead and Company is phenomenal. Somehow he's managed to capture Garcia's essence while making it own. This video alone proves the validity of my statement.
Pretty sure it's more than that. He's singing through the guitar - that can't be reduced to just a thought about key of the song, and next chord change.
@@fitzy1093 Even with that, there are near endless possibilities of things you can play within a certain key following chord changes. He has a great idea of what he wants to play and his skills allow him to do it on the spot. That kind of ear-hand coordination is what makes someone a great guitarist.
I can't improve on the comments so I'll just agree. John kills it with the improv. The strat us gorgeous and what a fucking sound. what I love most about JM, and Eddie Vedder, is their absolute respect for what came before. Call them covers but they sure sound like respect to me.
JM is a master. His solos make sense and are adding something valuable to the song. He studied lots of the greats - and creates something new inbetween the classic roots of the lead guitar. Great!
You beauty, awesome performance of a great tune. Love the way he holds the core melody and essence of songs, while bending it here and there by feel - without ruining it. Always exciting to see where it goes.
if ya just came for the solo 2:48 but of course if its your first 20 time please listen from the start...oh and I like how Johnny's got a cup of joe out there : ]
@@oullahtakanbghikhbibadialiawil do you even play guitar, these solos are 100% improvised. Sure there’s some songs where live he plays the solo based on the studio recorded solo but if you’ve watched liveshows of him playing you notice that not once ever he plays the same exact solo twice. He always switches it up either partly or just the complete solo, and it’s always him just playing what comes up to him. Literally every blues guitarist does that, it’s not a weird thing, even I do it when I play live…
@@niekvanwensen yes i play guitar since 25 years ..but that' not the point. guitarists like john layer or eric clapton never reproduce the solo like the studio recorded but before going on stage they rehearse many times ...they can' t improvise and be sure before going on stage that the solo is gonna be very good they know what they're doing ! you forgot about rehearsals or what you think they saiy ok let' s play promises without rehearsals ??come on
As a lifelong student of JM’s style and tendencies, I don’t know where this solo came from. It’s unlike any of the other fantastic solos we’ve watched him lay down. Just when you think you’ve seen the breadth of his ability he comes out with something this PERFECT. Bravo
Te mire en este tema x tv y me saltó el corazon de la felicidad que me produce .Vaya!! siento una simpatía porque eres tan especial con tu guitarra y voz.EMI ARBO.❤.

that solo composition was near perfect. what an improv
For me, this solo is pretty much as the BB used to say, that when he's playing he feels like he's talking: here, while being completely different from BB stuff, I feel like JM is talking though his Stat. Amazing!
Alot of people hate when they see cell phones in the crowd... in this case, I'm sure glad we got to hear this! 😀
why did i start reflecting my entire life when he started that solo😂
2:49 I am an avid JM fan, and this has grown to be one of my favorite live solos I have ever heard of his.
It was an amazing concert, you could tell he was enjoying it the whole time and putting all his effort into a great performance. He's so good blues-rock!
Same dude. I've seen countless hours of him performing and i've been coming back to this one for years.
Feliz de escuchar en tus magicas manos esta cancion de Clapton. Divina cancion.EMI ARBO.⚘
Queen of california at crossroads Festival is my favourite live performance of his

Thanks it's an epic cover!
I can't explain how I'm in love with this performance
John Mayer, I hope you read this: Please make a studio version of this song. And please don't make the guitar solo any shorter. Thumbs up people if you agree!
Yessssss this is truee
It's a Clapton song. You know that ?
He should do a cover album. He's done some amazing covers with so much of himself infused into them.
This is a Clapton song from the backless album If I remember correctly, but I can't enough of Mayer doing it ,,
@@RobyNos He already studio recorded covers like Crossroads, Call Me The Breeze and XO
Anyone who can take a Clapton song and make it better is a guitar god. Amazing.
JM really did nail this cover. Actually, he knocked it waaaaay out of the universe with that otherworldly riff circa 3:15. - truly rips through the multiverse with that string of epic fretboard activity... wow. All that being said....CLAPTON IS GOD!!!!
except he made it worse
Wow...he's got the blues voice and plays the guitar like no one else in his generation!
whoh... That guitar was so melodic and he just goes alll crazyyy!! wow....!! Bravo
Tears well up in my eyes when I hear this song. All my women in my life called love hate. Promises do end. Love the solo.
Thank you for sharing this amazing performance ❤
Some people just hear music in their head and they become a vehicle for that music to pass through them like a waterfall. JM is a genius for sure.
I'm so glad this is still up
I love this version of this song. The song itself gives the impression that the songwriter is happy about the breakup and basically saying "good riddance," and then John adds this bittersweet element in the song that Clapton might not have initially intended.

Gifted and accomplished guitar player...one of the best ever.
JCM, I can relate... Thanks for carrying me through with another great piece. Blessings🙏🏼❤✌🏼💋
Outstanding, the solo at the end was VERY melodic and fit the song beautifully

a great cover of eric clapton and the guitar solo just amazing here !!!!!!

One of the few artists I would play drums for if asked..I respect his playing very much and love his interpretations. Talk about a talented dude.

I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine
La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la
I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights
I'm gonna leave you alone
I'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me
I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end?
La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la
I tried to love you for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
And I'd still love you if you just loved me
I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end?

+Jordan McKenna Didn't Clapton's version have slide guitar in it on the melody line? I think John is covering that part along with the rhythm parts.
Looks like he's just uses barred chords for the verses and open chords in the chorus. The Am looks like an Am7 instead, which sounds good given A's 7th is G, the key of the song.
He looks like the guy from You from this profile
Very good version! Dedicated to Katy Perry?
Kind of funny that John is barring C and D with his pinkie. Seems like it would be a pain. But when you’re JM you do what you want I guess.
look at those nice wrists
😴😴😴😴😴 never original

True. I saw Jimi in 68 at Tampa's Curtis Hixon Hall for $5.00. Isn't that laughable? ;-) John's a Great.
I’ve seen many great guitarists. But John is just phenomenal.
He turned his OCD into a great skill 😂
it has to be amazing to be able to translate everything in your mind trough the guitar
Pretty sure what's going through his mind is the key of song and the next chord change lol

@@angusbanks6239 and shit loads of practise. "Genius" only really applies when you have the foundation of practise. Genius is the capstone.
One of the best impro solos I have ever heard

It’s odd that Eric Clapton never played this song live. It’s one of my faves of his. JM does it justice, indeed.
Not to take away from the incredible guitar playing, but Aaron Sterlings drums are also carrying this song.
That’s why EC says JM is master at his craft. High praise. Well deserved.
he said that john is a monster not a master
thank you John for taking a superb Clapton Song back to the spot light again :)
i know its not written by eric....
This song must be the inspiration for John’s Roll It On Home!
Now that you mention it, im 100% sure he took inspiration
SAME THOUGHT¡!!!!
right on
right on
That solo at the end is a masterclass in tension building and release...
Amazing solo!
3:15 that dude knows how good this solo is 👍🏻💪🏻
still listening to this everyday
Change the title of your video and put at least John mayer otherwise nobody will find
It's a beautiful song.Clapton does a nice studio version ,and Mayer adds an excellent solo at the end. I always liked Clapton's country phase.
This is remarkable. His tone and melody are on another planet.
There is just nothing this man cannot do!!!
Looks like Mayers got a new fave guitar. Great solo.
JM is a master. His solos make sense and are adding something valuable to the song. He studied lots of the greats - and creates something new inbetween the classic roots of the lead guitar. Great!
i hope eric has seen this. unbelievable.
This might be his best live solo ever performed. It’s perfection.
what a great Clapton song....and a great Mayer solo
My favorite musician ever playing one of my favorite songs ever.....this is golden!
With all due respect to Eric Clapton; whenever someone says that a cover can't be better than the original, I show them this.
So much Dicky Betts in there, and that's a great thing!
Yeah, man. Masters of that major pentatonic. So melodic.
The end "ahh" is pretty much explain what I said when I heard it first time... "Ahh just perfect"

I just downloaded this video because I don't know what would I do if these guy deletes it....
Yo I've been trying to get this tone for so long! anybody that could help me, let me know
Have John Mayer’s hands, 200k worth of amps, and a master built strat

Not bad for a cover.
what an incredible solo!! i've been listen to jm to more than 5 years and every time he supreses me.
amazing performance,. Knows his way around the axe,...
wow what a brilliant cover
He is the real present of music
Gosto de ouvir Clapton cantando essa, mas ele me emocionou também!
wow John playing with a Maple neck i have not seen this before! but now he's playing PRS guitars :/
from what I've heard, it was the last gift from fender to him before he decided to leave the company. i saw it on his twitter
+Branden Diaz his PRS sounds amazing too! really versitile
+lala lipupu pfff a gift? hahaha he deserves more than a guitar a lot of guitar players have a fender because of him
+Casper van Helvoirt Ya I saw his signature model so expensive but looks great they made just 100 guitars can you believe it?
Branden Diaz Yeah, it's crazy! But it sounds so amazing, like between a fender and a gibson when used correctly :)
