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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 😂
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
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
4:05 most in tune note hitted ever. Amazing. Increidlbe. Unbelievable.
the voice of an angle
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.

@@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
He was feeling extra funky that day. Whooooo
His lead playing is amazing but his sense of rhythm has always been off the charts
That grunt after he sings “wheels up” is what I live for
Wings up
@@TheSadMusician nah bro it’s ‘wheels up’
3:46
Pino Palladino makes John Mayer look short
He’s like a tree
And his p bass looks tiny in his hands
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
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
Dam john can make a guitar sing he’s a legend
Also pino.. you’re like a lamp post dude I love you
Just when you think he's pulled out every trick out of his bag and then this.
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!!
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!!
Live in LA
Naw, Pinkpop 2010 y'all
Alex McMullen can’t believe I was there for this ! I feel very lucky right now
his sense of for rhythm is out of this world
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!!
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 ❣❣👑
Favorite version for sure. When he’s feelin’ it he’s so damn good. Even more so than normal.
wtf this is the most creative version of Vultures...
3:41 her scream was perfectly in time & pitch w/ the guitar solo lol
Andy Jay it wasssssss❤🙌😍😭
HANDS DOWN BEST guitar player period!
This is what being on fire looks like
This man is unstoppable, what a performance John..
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. 🤘🏼
clicked for the intro, came back for the smooth solo.
The 17 people who gave this a thumbs down clearly have no clue what was going on here. MOVE ON!!!
It was the best concert I ve ever seen, I went to London from Czech republic only because of John.
Dude everytime I think I have seen all of Mr. Mayer's work RUclips gives me a new version!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am dead!
His timing is perfect.
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
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 !
Was really hoping to hear this song when he came to Toronto earlier.
This will do just fine.
Shoutout to Michael Rosen behind John. Seriously, though, my favorite guitar player and I'm glad to be alive for his reign
legend of our time
F*cking hell. He’s got his super bad ass pants on especially for this one. Legendary.
That intro alone...unreal!!!Much, much more to come from this kid.The boys got talent, bucket loads!!☘
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.
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 🤘❤🫡
The tone here is gold.
Now that's how you improvise!
Damn this guy's a genius
how he put a RATM riff in the middle of a rythym section escapes me
His neck bob at the beginning always gets me 😂
my boy just started playing bulls on parade by the end
No one talking about the little Bulls On Parade he added in there
Every time i think I’ve seen every brilliant John Mayor clip out there, he just goes an does…this…
This song just brings out the best in him.
this song is John Mayer
Best guitarist ever for sure ... that's just incredible 🎉
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.
God I hope this makes it to a live record if he makes one for the world tour. This was fuckin' incredible
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
I love Pigeon Mayer
Wowwww what an artist💯
Not only the intro is awesome.
This man can do no wrong.
Genial un maquina
Excellent as usual.
Great groove by Steve and Pino
This has to be the best version.
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.
mother is on fire, why is he so underrated ?
Best guitarist of this generation- right up there with Hendrix - EVH and that’s coming from someone that plays and loves EVH/JH
im jealous him, he is great in any aspect, as an artist, entertainer, and so on
Best ever for me.
5:02 RATM - Bulls On Parade :D
John es icreible
Dayyyyum!
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
Wow..there is a person that is best..I mean look how amazing this is..what!!!✌🏻✌🏻✨🕊✨🙏✨🙏👍👍👍👏👏🤝🤝🤝✌🏻
I love his little hops
We need Stratocaster JM back now more than ever
The groove, my god
That tone 🔥
That right hand goes fucking crazy.
Pino looking fly as fuck in the background wtf
JOHN MAYER 🐐
Brutal
GENIO!
Hello, thank you for watching Tomo Fujita music!
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.
Em Sao Paulo eu teria ido ver o John Mayer que eu gosto.
That intro was stupid good!
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.
와ㅠㅠㅠㅠ진짜 너무 멋있다ㅠㅠ
I got some Tom Morello vibes in that intro, so awesome. Also, Pino is the king of modern bass.
damn, Pino is so cool back there 🕶️
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?!?
Sick
I was just yards away
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!
Best version ever?
wow !!!
❤
mierda es muy bueno!
3:16 damn licks John ....
listen to Pino's lick at 4:39
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
