    i can't decide what's better, his guitar skills or your steady camera hand.

    I love that crowd recognizes it's Neon from him using the same-ish intro from the Live in LA version before the actual riff comes in

    I know JM has had issues with his vocals etc and while he's still and will always be incredibly talented, does anybody ever feel like the Live in LA versions will never be topped? This is good but the LA version is flawless.

      Yeah, this isn’t bad at all in fact it is amazing but the live in LA version is just so mesmerising. Even if you just watch it’s video you just feel is captured by the feeling and everything.

    His fret speed is amazing while keeping such a hard rhythm is next level stuff. Been trying to get to half speed of this song and haven't even gotten close to his rhythm. This live version is my favorite that I have seen on RUclips. Thanks for this video to keep me practicing.

      I know I'm late but can I ask, I'm hopefully going to see John at the O2 later this year! Was there a standing section on the floor? Or did they keep the seats in?

    • @geoffizhere1
      @geoffizhere1 5 лет назад +1

      @@scubagrace Hi sorry for the late reply, I only just seen this comment. So basically the floor seats are split into 4 sections: A, B, C and D (A being the closest to stage and D further away). They have seats on the whole floor section but everyone stood up when John came on anyway. I had Block A section seats last time, so I was really close to the stage and was only a few rows away from Mayer. I payed quite a lot for that seat but I wanted a really good view and it was my first time seeing him. They had a pre-sale earlier today and there were no floor seats except 1 section B seats, which I could't get. This year most of the A sections seats are VIP, so you'll be paying £140 or more. Some Section A and the rest of B and C are £100 in total per seat this year. The tickets price have doubled compare to the last tour, which is a bit of hard pill to swallow. Tomorrow is the general sale and I'm gonna chance it with some Level 1 section seats. I hope you get to see him this year, I know I'm gonna get some tickets either way haha.
      Hope all this info helped! 🤗

    he almost had the guitar speaking at 5:01 . its called hitting a groove, and for an amateur like me, I get it for a few seconds and then loose it for a few hours. but it sure is sweet to groove.. something to aspire too. 2 months of practicing this song and just now starting to see the light
