Although I'm not a fan of his music, you can't deny how good John Mayer is as a guitar player. I thought his speech here was quite beautiful, especially from the moment he started playing.
John is such a versatile musician. He looks like a boyband, writes like a pop musician, has the voice of a country musician and plays the blues as good as anybody and can improvise everything in between. Hes the whole package
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 You, sir, have good taste. JM Trio and Continuum is what earned my respect of John Mayer... perhaps not so much Born and Raised. When Eric Clapton calls you a Master Blues player, and says you really don't even know how good you are, or BB King invites you to jam with him... you don't get opportunities like that to play with the best, unless the best feel you can add something to the show that the fans will appreciate.
I love when I see all the youtube accounts comment on here about how they don't like John's guitar playing or that he's overrated or whatever. It's funny that they think their opinions matter when you have legends like BB King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, etc wanting John to be on stage with them. John's one of the best alive.
I also find it funny how some random person on RUclips thinks their opinions on an art as subjective as music matters is making a comment on what other people think....
At the end of the day they're just random comments from random people who've done nothing with their lives, probably miserable dipshits working in cubicles only seeing the sun twice a year. And John Mayer is still John FUCKING Mayer.
@Thomas_ - he didn't disrespect him, Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead, it would have been wonderful to see him doing this. It is a honor for John to do this.
When talking the Albert King bend at 4:08 I half expected him to go, “and most famously John Mayer did it live on ain’t no sunshine at the crossroads festival in 2010.”
A couple years ago, I saw someone say that John Mayer ruined this induction by making it all about himself. I strongly disagree. It would have been a bland speech if Mayer simply praised Albert King. Instead Mayer talked about his childhood and how Albert King influenced him. From there he went into Albert's bending techniques. A great transition if you ask me.
John Mayer is the epitome of someone who is skillfully able to take in the many influences of the past blues giants and have studied them and carried the torch of old school blues to this next generation. He could hang with any of the greats as he has put in his time and effort to hone and craft his skills to play masterfully all of the styles from Hendrix to SRV to Albert King to all of them.
Great speech and honor shown to a legend. If John Mayer hadn't first made his first impact as a pop singing idol and little girl heartthrob, his recognition as a damn good guitarist wouldn't be so ignored. This man can play, and if you've bypassed his music because of his initial moment in the spotlight, give him another listen. You won't be disappointed!!!
Well said! A part of me is really happy he made his way with a few pop hits and then went full "alright, now that I have your attention... Have you met SRV, Jimi, Albert, B.B...." Almost as if that was his plan all along.
I am 64. When I was in my early 20's, we used to go to a place called the Red Pepper in Arcata , CA - near of Humboldt State University... It was a bar with a big dance floor. My friends & I were mainly there to drink and hook up with a girl... More than once, Albert King & his bandmates were the music providers... I had no idea who he was, (the first time) but remember being on the dance floor 4 feet from the stage just mesmerized. I KNEW I was witnessing greatness... A large figure in a blue suit, smoking a pipe, and just wailing on his V-shaped electric guitar. It was 44 years ago and is burned in my brain like it was yesterday.
You know the rooms full of musicians because when John plays no one's applauding over him, they all just listening and appreciating the music quietly and applaud after
Albert King was the kindest and nicest guy. I was in the 5th grade in Forrest City, Ar. A friend and me was riding bicycles around the convention center and heard a band warming up inside. I'd been playing guitar since I was 5 so we went inside and I hollowed : I play guitar. and the guy hollowed back well get on up here and I did. He handed me his "V" and I turned it over and played the old song Gloria and the band played along. Well, the old gentlemen started talking about his new amp(big ass Acoustic amp) then he took us out to his Cadillac and pulled a couple albums out and gave to us and signed them! We went back inside and he sat down and talked a few minutes and took a couple sips off that whiskey bottle. I spent the next year learning some Albert King licks. I was as they say: At the right place at the right time and thank the lord I was! Rest in peace sir and thank you for your kindness and the influence you gave me!
Wow! By the end I was crying. Mayer is obviously the perfect choice to present this award. He's just flawless and is such a true blues artist. I've always thought Albert King was just unbelievable. His music will live forever amongst us guitar players. Great job John Mayer. Very classy. Albert and Stevie were smiling down at you at that moment for sure.
For those of us who play and take the Blues guitar seriously, we consider Albert King to be one of our big heroes and Gods of blues guitar. RIP Big Al 👑
I've been watching these Rock And Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies for as long as HBO has been broadcasting them. I can remember watching this one back in 2013 and for some reason I just never forgot it. It truly stands up, exactly as I remember it and honestly has to be one of the greatest Hall of Fame induction speeches ever. Bravo John Mayer!! Respect!!!
Yor onto it, when John reaches 60 yrs age, Modern blues fans , and other Blues musicians will hold him in the highest regard, TOO. Up with Bonamosa, I must Add , Eric Clapton iz very good, BUT, iz over rated,especially by the Britz. Right now, Buddy Guy iz the Absolute Topz. In Great Britain, John Mayall iz their greatest , still alive , allround Blues musician. Forgotten greats , still alive are Mr Ry Cooder, and Carlos Santana.
Albert to Stevie “ Stevie, I want you to pick up on these things. I know you can do it, see! You’re qualified to do it....I want you to go ahead on and ... most important thing... The better you get the harder you work. You can’t say .. Well, I got it made I got enough... don’t do that” Stevie- I won’t !
If Clapton is to Blues what Eminem is to Rap, and Mayer is the second white guy to have a career like that, who’s gonna come for Em’s crown. Cause it sure as shit ain’t MGK.
I thought Mayer showed Albert great respect. He showed how every Blues great has their own voice. At the most basic, John is a guitar player and he loves it, it's obvious.
Incredible…you were so far ahead of your time…realizing how important this man became in your life…influencing you so much in how you approached the world of guitar playing. Even in your most impressionable young years firmed up to be amongst the great ones that played guitar 🎸 just when I thought 💭 that I knew so much…along comes this clip 😢❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
John…cannot believe how you are making this…itHas to be brutal…trying to recover from your ego addiction…obviously it has nothing to do with money or notariety. John don’t you feel that feel “that you are flying yet “ know idea what that looks like…at some point YOU WILL HAVE TO STOP TOURING…Sad to think that is all you have…another tour…and another tour…nether another tour…concert…
I think this was a great induction. Sure John spoke about himself, but what better way to honor a hero than to speak about how your life was affected by them and show how their voice has become part of your own. John could have Googled “how to give a great speech” but instead he went right for the heart of the matter.
I did not know who Albert King was before this speech I hate to say but thanks to Mayers beautiful illustration of his music I now know he influenced every single guitar player who stands out.
He has to be great One of the greatest blues ambassadors out there good spokesman for the blues and awesome blues guitarist and very versatile in his playing he’s up to date with a lot of the sounds t hat are floating around in the music scene
Brilliant speech and demonstration to honour and comemorate Albert King. Those who criticize John Mayer in the blues guitar context and call him over rated (likely due to jealousy, let's be honest) I think have got a warped perspective. Instead I think blues enthusiasts should be grateful that a guy who fit a more typically pop star mold also is a practitioner and popularizer of the blues to a wide, mainstream audience.

“Albert King is the reason guitar players break high E strings” what a quote
Sums it up!!
I literally broke my high E string watching an Albert King lesson, then watched this video the next day.
Ha. I just broke my e string trying to learn an Albert King lick put the guitar away you tubes Albert King and started watching this!
I'm hoping that 1 day I too will break a high E string, Thank God the blues don't change!!
