John is at his peak rn. He has absolutely snapped. You can tell he’s not playing just to show off anymore like he did towards the start of his career. He plays to feel now. I know his best is yet to come, especially now that he left Columbia Records.
@@omarsaletovicprins9632 You know what I’d agree with that. I think he’s definitely mellowed out more. I don’t think it’s because he can’t anymore, I think it’s probably an intentional change. He seems to go through phases.
Well one should also take into account that during the JM3 tours and the Live in LA shows, he was touring to promote two albums which showcased his guitar playing abilities. I think that he doesn't want to be known as simply a guy who can shred on guitar, just like he didn't want to be known as a pop musician. If you take Sob Rock into consideration, it is definitely not as heavily focused on his guitar abilities (although songs like Wild Blue have some truly great playing on them), so perhaps he was trying to keep the shredding and such to a limit so he could showcase the newer songs and not have such a wide gap between songs where he's just mindlessly shredding in some and then laying back playing something simple but fitting for the others. Just my two cents.
@@omarsaletovicprins9632 tbh with this version of gravity in particular the tone is waaaaaaaaaay too clean, i still like it but i want much more distortion/od on that final solo
@@todorkerev1707 Jesus Christ, you realize that if he meets your needs sonically, then somebody else complains that it's not clean enough. The internet has brought us more information and art than we could have ever imagined, while simultaneously destroying our ability to just shut the F up and enjoy an experience. Everything has to be judged and criticized as if it were an Olympic gymnastics competition. Everyone has an opinion on how they think everything should have been, instead of just enjoying what you got. It's pathetic.
I haven't studied him or anything just know that I like what I hear. What makes him more talented is a personality full of curiosity. He seems to be one who is open to learn whatever it takes and I like it!
You can tell he just wants to 'give'. However that just takes it to another level. He's full of feeling and appreciation for what he has. He's the best
When ever I feel down with all this world is throwing at me and my family I just think “Keep me where the light is”. JM is the best guitarist of his generation.
I was at this show last night and it was completely amazing... After attending 4 of his shows and each at different venues.. this by far is the best overall, he was feelin every song and in turn we all felt it.. he wasnt just playing to get through the song and onto the next, he truly delivered. Amazing and memorable show.. he played almost every song of his we all wanted to hear. Not to mention his voice was on point.
I'm dying... the musicianship of his shows is so satisfying... i'm going to tomorrow's show and can hardly contain my excitement... we're in section B, so I hope it's as clear as this video..
Watching this, gives me such a warm feeling. It's like we've all just done a full circle back to live at nokia so many years later. This guy is a living legend
You can hear more influence since he’s played with Grateful Dead. It’s quite amazing how someone so talented off the bat just keeps getting better with time.
Man do I love that Castles Made of Sand slide. Gravity was the right song to put it in, and will age well! Dope arrangement, but I dig the one from LA in 07 more haha. All the best!
I so wish I could see John in person, he is fantastic, talented, and sounds and plays better now than ever, I love his stage presence and talent, not to be forgotten in my lifetime!
"Gravity" takes us to new heights of ascension.Iconic intro chords which intertwine mind, body and soul.John Mayer is truly breaking the sound barriers and has a passion for fusion of folk, rock ,r&b and new jazz. I am really loving this music.
John Mayer is one of, and quite possibly, the best guitarist/vocalist/songwriters in the world. Few if any can breathe the air he breathes. He is a refined master artist, doing more than just playing music. Much, much more! I love him. I support him! He is A Natural Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING ❣️💡🌟💎👑
This is one of the most beautiful and soulful live performances of Gravity I 've watched in a long time, and the musicians in the band are all just excellent!
Beautiful. People want it to sound the same same as the first studio album version, but that ain’t the point of live music. I’ve seen JM perform this tune live 3 times (2008, 2013, 2017) as well as the Continuum and Live in LA versions, and it’s always different, and it’s always beautiful. In ‘13, at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, when he broke into the first line of the song you almost couldn’t hear him because every voice in the amphitheater was singing with him. One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my 69 years. Every person who loves this song owns a little piece of it, and I love how JM keeps it fresh and alive for us.
Wow...listen to Mayer's outro solo tone on this and then go to the outro solo where he's playing with Keith Urban...I'm not saying better or worse, but Mayer's tone on a Strat is very different than on a Silver Sky. Amazing what an artist can do with two different tools.

@@omarsaletovicprins9632 JM3? u mean john mayer trío right
Some day people are gonna look back on all johns amazing performances and think holy shit we didn’t appreciate him enough!!!!! Living legend
I haven't studied him or anything just know that I like what I hear. What makes him more talented is a personality full of curiosity. He seems to be one who is open to learn whatever it takes and I like it!
It was a bucket list item for me to see him live and I finally did on the Sob Rock tour
True
Here I am, a 47 year old man with a tear on his eye. Thank God I recently found this man and his music.
You can tell he just wants to 'give'. However that just takes it to another level. He's full of feeling and appreciation for what he has. He's the best
absolutely love how you worded this. yes, absolutely true.
The best
Completely agree. He’s my absolute favorite of all time!
When ever I feel down with all this world is throwing at me and my family I just think “Keep me where the light is”. JM is the best guitarist of his generation.
Best Gravity intro I've ever heard.
He went crazy this last tour with the gravity intros, and honestly this is my favorite version of the song! Hearing it live was unreal
100%
ugh, those chords during the intro are so beautiful and john's playing is unreal. thank you for capturing this!
Have any idea what are this chords ?
G C
damn, the dead has done a number on Johns playing, in the best way possible.
I was just thinking the exact same thing
it’s crazy that this guys a pop star to a lot of people and is also universally revered in the guitar community
my god what a guitarist
I was at this show last night and it was completely amazing...

It’s cause he plays guitar not just sings
7:54 look at Pino admiring what he's hearing... and John just kept ascending further. That outro was sick!
8:03 i love how he plays castles made of sand outro
beautiful 'castle made in sand' refrence!!!
I lost it in person when he made that homage
I'm dying... the musicianship of his shows is so satisfying... i'm going to tomorrow's show and can hardly contain my excitement... we're in section B, so I hope it's as clear as this video..
HOW WAS THE CONCERT?😍
@@bene7174 So good. Floor seats were amazing. His new PRS guitars sounded super clean and it was so great to hear him live for this record!
66 year Clapton fan, so glad Eric gave the " guitar Nod baton to John...such a gift John, love & light!
Watching this, gives me such a warm feeling. It's like we've all just done a full circle back to live at nokia so many years later. This guy is a living legend
That small walk when the song starts is so nostalgic!
You can hear more influence since he’s played with Grateful Dead. It’s quite amazing how someone so talented off the bat just keeps getting better with time.
Also notice the Jimi Hendrix quotes at the end! Castles Made of Sand melt into the sea, thanks to Gravity
thank you so much for this!
John is reaching new heights every damn day and it's so beautiful
OMG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL 😭
Everyone is talking about the intro, but what about the black magic happening at 6:27
The evolution of this song is just unmatched
Awesome show! Thanks so much for sharing all your videos. '-)

❤ I've listened for 20 yrs thank you for all your great memories
Absolutely incredible performance! He never disappoints!
he's really hitting those high notes here. so great to hear!
Superb !
Thank you for these videos! Doing the lord’s work!
Sounds just as good as it does in the studio, tremendous musician. Very excited to see him in Chicago in April!
Quoting a little Hendrix at the end (Castles are made of sand)... very nice!
JM you're my hero. This song is and always will be perfect. This rendition made me feeeeeeeeeel.
Freekin Fantastic
Merci...😘

Marvellous
This is one of the most beautiful and soulful live performances of Gravity I 've watched in a long time, and the musicians in the band are all just excellent!
Can’t wait to see him Friday in SF!!
Saw him play this life last night. Absolutely amazing.
bruh how did those first few seconds already hit so hard
ganda ng geetar huhu
Wow❤
Wow.. what an absolute beautiful intro.. goosebumps
I was at this show...my first time ever seeing him live. God it was so good!!!
This felt effortless. Best his voice has sounded all tour.
Those chord changes on the intro are 🔥 🔥 🔥
I’m envisioning myself with a joint, vibing feeling this in my soul. Flm. I love this man.
one of the best gravity intro. It's so beautiful. He's killin' every note
Uau....🥰😍🔥😘❤🙏
Unbelievable.....dude is a living legend.
He's very special as a person and musician
Hey I was there too. Great show! People somehow didn’t know how encores worked.
A magically singin guitar and a very hot and masculine singing man. And this truly good music. This makes life dancing!
I was lucky enough to be there, the Hendrix nod at 8:02 made me smile
Love it. He did it in the Rio Gravity as well.
Some castles made of sand action
What’s the “Hendrix nod” ?
@@chokztogoo Castles Made of Sand
Camryn Porter ty so much bro!!
I liked a lot that little homage to Hendrix's Castles Made Of Sand intro at 8:02
Playing with Dead and Co has taken Mayer to a whole new level...
Ending it with castles made of sands intro, beautiful!
This is basically Clapton's "River of Tears."
Awesome!
Would start this evergreen in exactly this way. ;-)
Wow young Johnny Depp plays really good
A++
dabg,,,,,, pretty guitar
john mayer..... so nice
John referencing a Hendrix song at the end of gravity is what I needed to listen 😭😭 wow
John will go down as one of the best guitars of all time!!!!!!!
Gravity and its author make me, for a moment, escape from this world to go to a better one
godly

your family, our cryo lab, austin, tx
This song goes so fucking hard
He's the best modern guitarist.
HI THERE JOHN MEYER YOU SINGING GRAVITY SWEET ASKING THE AUDANCE TO SING ALONG GRAVITY GO JOHN MEYER😊😊😊
05:15 The next 3.15 Minutes - who would ask for anything more! 06:25 07:27 07:45 Thanks for this amazing vid!
Pino Palladino is like a lighthouse
I felt this was shorter watching it live, but he really made it 9:10
look at Pino at the trash can ending just casually shredding it
He sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sounds beautiful ❤️
Woah woah woah... don't think so is it too much a lil' bit? SRV and this guy?! 🤦🏻♂️
@@alexnagy2044 Yeah... pump the brakes a "wee" bit on that one ....LOL
Castles made of sand, melts into the 🌊 8:00
the super close up of his fingers lol
they know what we want lmao
7:42 and Pino just standing there, menacingly.
I'm not a fan of PRS, but the birds inlay looks great on that big screen
Wow...listen to Mayer's outro solo tone on this and then go to the outro solo where he's playing with Keith Urban...I'm not saying better or worse, but Mayer's tone on a Strat is very different than on a Silver Sky. Amazing what an artist can do with two different tools.
Something really happens when you make John do a live show in LA.
Pino smiling at the end...
that ending.....
*dang...........
countysound on that guitar
The ad in the middle of the video was extremely disrupting lol
I will pay somebody to notate this on tab
Miss the sound of the blk1
I miss the '64…..such a great guitar
Anybody know what scale he uses in the beginning that sounds so angelic? What interval makes it sound so regal?!
How do you share artist info for copyright claims?
Ik he did not just pull castles made of sand in the outto of gravity. Dude is just other-worldly
Anyone know what scale hes playing with in the beginning?
ui
07:45 When you know you're about to nut but you slow it down to prolong and enjoy the final bit of your journey as the promised destination encroaches.
they dont call him smooth johnny for nutn
What kind of guitar is he playing?
