Love how Mayers solo didnt overwhelm Alecs performance. Melodic and balanced. Mayer is a living legend. Alec lesssgoo!

[@sstelect]

Agreed. Mayer's solo was in perfect balance with the song. That's one of the reasons Mayer is a legend!

[@noelhoekstra6852]

so true

[@derekbravo7811]

Robert Falani most of guys would do a sick shred, but John didn’t, John is John

[@noahsnetwork]

i’m happy i was your 1k like

[@matthewthomas1335]

John's solo was basic af because the song was basic. If he did 10% of what he can do it would've overwhelmed this chump

[@TheGuitarislove]

John is so egoless here, just complimenting the song perfectly... he's so much more humble than he gets credit for

[@Zahiimchen]

When it comes to music. Mayer is really serious about it. His ego shows in other aspects of his life but never in music. He respects the art.

[@martinrueda93]

Yea

[@christianrae5179]

[@kaushikravindran3587]

so true, Its really saddening as to how underrated he has become nowadays. He truly is and will be the greatest Singer songwriter/Guitarist/Musician/Performer of all time. I LOVE YOU JOHN MAYER

[@jacobbrown788]

kaushik ravindran now that’s a lil much to say he’s the best musician of all time especially to say in every aspect of music

[@completem3ss]

Am I the only who thinks that their voices kind of reminds me of Alec being the innocent side of our childhood and then Mayer as the matured adult reminiscing of his times as a kid? I dunno seems like it to me and I cri to their harmony :')

[@Crispymusic7]

Wow you put it so beautifully :')

[@metalboy7861]

Am I the only one that's going to say how stunning John was here? Alex made the song complete on himself but John made it perfect without taking the fame at all he just stood there and made such beautiful harmonies mixing his voice with Alec and the guitar softly on the background gave it a new vibe but didn't ruin anything from the old one. JM is my fav artist and here again he shows why. Alec you're amazing keep doing what you are doing hopefully this will be placed on spotify.

[@dianebig7857]

Yeee-es and I certainly can hear why he loves this song. It's great!!!!!!

*John's incredibly mature humility here is something of a true living legend...* Even when this dude Alec introduces him, John doesn't wanna take the spotlight off the young blood, instead he just wants to _add new layers_ (all in a balanced fashion) _of profound feelings that the song can now give_ --- thanks to him. Man, John Mayer is one of the greatest artists of our time. We just don't realize that yet; hopefully future generations do :)

Fucking cool! It’s so so cool that John supports all of these upcoming artists taking over the game (like Shawn Mendes). All of these kids look up to Mayer and Mayer is like a mentor to them and he lets them take the limelight and is just there killing it and supporting them.
