I was there and honestly majority of the crowd including myself were waiting for Kanye. After his set, I can honestly say I became a fan. Dude gets down on the guitar, never knew he could play that well.
walt - where the light is is completely edited. you can find original raw footage online hes pitchy as hell and the mix is all out. this is totally as it was fan recorded.
He put an incredible show that night, what an honour it must've been to be in that crowd, minority of them to actually see John - bet he left with a few more fans
***** don´t you know if he got Gretsch renown maple drums here ... they look like that ... (because i have the same set, need to know how they sound on live venues)
I love the simplicity of Keith Carlock or rather Steve Jordan in combination with Mayer, but this guy, Aaron Sterling, is skillful like hell. Especially his feeling for when what needs to be played. He knows what and what not to play at the right time, mostly.
totally underrated guitar player... I guess he kind of deserves that title with the crappy mainstream songs he puts out. But, I would but tickets to see him live anytime in hopes that he would play something like this at least once in a live show.One of the best modern blues guitarists out there (in the generation after clapton and SRV)
mitin timisin hahaaa sorry, my bad. it's just that it's kind of annoying watching John playing not synced with the sound. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Thank you for uploading this for us to watch.
I wonder what the spilt is for his lead tone with those amps. I'm willing to bet its 75% SSS and the rest the Two Rock. Fucking great guitar sound as always.
I does not work like that, the amp has a tone, and it change different guitars are plugged in to it, but mostly its the way he play and plays the guitar that gives the JM sound, give the same guitar and amp to a different person and it sounds like something else
While that's true, you should be able to separate the tone form the amp and the tone from his hands. When I listen I can pretty much get an idea of how I'd sound on his rig. Its a given that tone is mostly in the hands but if equipment weren't a factor at all then why bother with anything but a $100 crate and a squire strat?
Michael Capanelli I think it's most or even all D-style amp. Signature "honk" of D-style, smooth and fat lower-mids, honking compressed upper-mids and treble. Could even be a Fender at the end of a mid boosted chain.The Singer has a more scooped sound with a more rude and rough in-your-face kind of upper-mids and treble. His rhythm sound is more SSS I think.
Well if you look at his setup, it's actually 2/3 Two Rock and 1/3 SSS. But his Two Rock Sigs are very close to his Dumble anyway. He has all amps clean at all times and just uses a TS-10, Klon, and a Keeley Katana for lead tones. either on their own, or all at once, or a combination of two
I've never had the pleasure to hear an original SSS in person, but I have heard some rather good clones, the Two Rock JM being among them. I head Bill even used NOS parts he had amassed over the years to match what was in the original SSS he copied. All I know is the JM was a borderline religious experience, at least for me. I can imagine how the original must sound. I think I may have to contact Welagen and have one made someday soon.
Hey, I didn't know Buddy Holy was still alive, dam.....Johns a great player..I often think of how great guitar players are a dime a dozen these days. But that's the way the approach to guitar playing developed partly do to Jimi Hendrix.., with a few more exceptional then others..But how dam good do you think Jimi might have gotten had he lived?.ill tell you one thing a lot of young people don't realize how good and ground breaking Jimi's playing was..take all the music away since 1970 and nobody was anywhere close to him...there is a reason why the top guitar players of today talk of him as being the best, it's because they know how good Jimi really was.....we got robbed of seeing what he may have become, certainly on the top of the heap I would say.....
+Shrom Arora I never knew why he didn't take Rob with him on his newer tours. I mean Zane is really awesome, but Robbie was the bomb! Did they split on bad terms?
I think he sort of " half-mutes " the strings with the palm of its right hand, controls the sustain with its left hand and uses a right hand technique similar to Mark Knopfler (thumb and index+middle finger). I recall using this a lot on Dire Straits' " Money For Nothing ". Also, if i'm not mistaken, he has Texas Special pickups on neck position, making this very characteristic "round" sound.
kewel joinathan....warmoth strat with 2 white humbuckers....cyber champ/aramat green machine/demeter fat boost/endless sustain......make a face to get to the note(c. santana)
Nothing to do with his guitar playing or this song. Not trying to be a troll. Why does his tattoo look all smudge and all black. Thought he had a colored sleeve at some point?lol
this song was meant for a deep voice. Scotty McCreery's voice on this song is 1000x better than the original version by John Mayer and should be on his next album Scotty McCreery's voice is sultry steamy and sexy on his cover

That groove he starts building at 4:20! John is just the master!
+Benjamin Parker ehehehe 420
+Benjamin Parker best part of the performance if he could just keep it going forever i would be content
It already starts at 3:03.
Wish someone had the tab for this part
@@burtonboardboy97 happy 420 yesterday
Amazes me with every live performance.. Jesus christ what a guitar player
+Adam Lundquist Barclay's Dec 2013 version @ Internet Archive - is even better )
Where the Light Is - Live in LA is still my favorite
walt - where the light is is completely edited. you can find original raw footage online hes pitchy as hell and the mix is all out. this is totally as it was fan recorded.
this man can play
He put an incredible show that night, what an honour it must've been to be in that crowd, minority of them to actually see John - bet he left with a few more fans
this is honestly too good, cant get enough! the man is a genius
The voice is coming back!!
Watch his lates acoustic show: John Mayer Casa del Mar. His voice there is really on point. I say it's 95% back :)
This is the first time I have ever heard this song, and it is simply awesome. One I will call my favorite for a long time....
The "delay" effect that he makes around 4:20 is just incredible and shows ability that makes this guy one of the best guitarists in the world!
Such an awesome groove
I fucking love this drummer for him
***** don´t you know if he got Gretsch renown maple drums here ... they look like that ... (because i have the same set, need to know how they sound on live venues)

BaseballBigE his live shows are fully FULLY packed with excellent guitar playing. Basically every song he plays has some great guitar part.
this performance is even better than the where the light is one
SOOOO good. Love John Mayer.
John Mayer canta muito essa musica Slow Dancing in a Burning Room é uma das melhores dele ....
The solo is so beautiful
I remember this performance in LA it was amazing. I was rolling balls during the time lol. Thanks for uploading
Video isn't sync well with the audio is it?
Phew, I thought my phone was out of sync or something. Good to see this as the first comment.
That tone he's getting at about 7:08 is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Não tem como não se emocionar!!! Monstro, monstro, monstro!!!!
He dissected that guitar like a brain surgeon.
It's official. He's an alien. No one can be this awesome!
Best live performance of this song!
aksel lindberg where the Light is ;)
Egon Schulz
Not for me, "where The light"-version has become so commercial. I like The more "unknown" perfomances to JM.
The rock in rio version for me remains the best
I agree, rock in rio
I cant with the feel holy shit. His guitar seriously speaks!
GENIUS!!
i play to this at home daily ..yo!!!!
Same here! It's my warmup song, or my "every time I get on the Strat" song lol
Can y’all teach the groove he’s playing in the middle
Would've been nice to have the audio and video synced
VIDEO AND AUDIO ARE NOT SYNCED !
mitin timisin Actually he is right. Maybe you are too fan to notice it but the rest of the people does.

Como olvidar el día que John mayer le hizo el amor a la guitarra en medio concierto
6:37 lmao
3:46 Me every time I listen to this song.
I love maerica

Greetings from maerica
I don't know who this guy is , but boy I sure do love listening to him
as good as it gets man //
03:46 the best reaction
Its just never the same without rob
+Shrom Arora I never knew why he didn't take Rob with him on his newer tours. I mean Zane is really awesome, but Robbie was the bomb! Did they split on bad terms?
WreckingRaven No no , Robbie left Mayer's band , but they're still on good terms ! Although I don't know what Rob is up to nowadays..
+Shrom Arora Pretty sure he left to do solo work back home, he probably just wants a break from worldwide touring
♥️♥️♥️
♥️❤️❤️
This is a good song. I wish the video was synced though
4:18 music to make love!
Anyone got a vid more in sync?
Is it right ? Maerica, there in the title. ?
6:49
how does he do that at 4:20
I think he sort of " half-mutes " the strings with the palm of its right hand, controls the sustain with its left hand and uses a right hand technique similar to Mark Knopfler (thumb and index+middle finger). I recall using this a lot on Dire Straits' " Money For Nothing ". Also, if i'm not mistaken, he has Texas Special pickups on neck position, making this very characteristic "round" sound.
Ah Knopfler (and fellow geordie), the grandfather of the guitar.
kewel joinathan....warmoth strat with 2 white humbuckers....cyber champ/aramat green machine/demeter fat boost/endless sustain......make a face to get to the note(c. santana)
That mid solo is fkn awesome! Really sweet sounding. Is he using non-pentatonic/blues scales here?
I don't think so. He's stays within the pentatonic blues. Although he may add jazz stuff in but I don't think so here.
It should be in Emajor pentatonic. Go to eminor pentatonic and count down 3 frets and your in Emajor.
something really f&cked with the audio - sounds so sterile... really makes me appreciate some of the good 2013 audience tapes around
tabs ? xd
jesus how many people do you think is in the crowd
That is dir missrs klein and mr braun
Nothing to do with his guitar playing or this song. Not trying to be a troll. Why does his tattoo look all smudge and all black. Thought he had a colored sleeve at some point?lol
So I don't know if I was the only one thinking this, but I think the "Made in maerica" typo in the title needs a "Y" in between the "a" and the "e".
this song was meant for a deep voice. Scotty McCreery's voice on this song is 1000x better than the original version by John Mayer and should be on his next album Scotty McCreery's voice is sultry steamy and sexy on his cover
Melissa Stewart absolutely not😂
hate to say it but this a pretty boring version ) Check out barclay's 2013 (start with the song before because it all segues together) ))
Why he no use The Black One!?? SO sad :(:(:(:(
August Muller V because the black 1 is based of 1962 stratocaster, and what he is playing is a real 1962 stratocaster.
Danny Shipley he's playing his 1996 Srv guitar I'm pretty sure
:O
I didn't know JJ Abrams played guitar!? He's not bad
Lol @ 1:49 she has no idea what the words are
needs more tats on his left arm. i can still see skin
aa bbb that’s his right arm
At Pink Pop it was better
i think in where the light is was so much better than ever
anyway he is awesome always
you guys should hear the monster solo he does in his rock in rio concert
His all time low....looks terrible too
