You can see him performing live on Ellen show as well on KZbin. Start with You'll think of me live performance by him on KZbin. Amazing song and guitar.

@@troymakowski what are you talking about his #1 is a Tele and he has a stack of tele’s and cabronitas if anything I think of a Tele when I think of Keith he does play a few Gibson’s and has a few Strats but he’s a country boy so Tele would be his main sound

[@codychurch2778]

casper van helvoirt How are you sure of that? He could have just checked to confirm Keith was joining him.

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

Cody Church It's a high pitched part (don't know if that's correct english), and back in 2013 when this was performed, John wasn't recovered yet from his granuloma (vocalchord problems). So that's why, I guess. And Keith's smiling, so he knows hahaha. but that's my guess

[@samme79]

Thats what I was thinking too. Hahaha. At least John has his voice almost back now

[@ron980]

casper van helvoirt Haha, I always thought it looked like the next line was actually Keith's part, but John noticed that Keith was nowhere near the mic, so he covered for him as KU rushed to the mic.

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

***** Hahaha that could be it aswell ;) But since they both have 4 lines to sing each time, I guess John just realised he could hit the high notes yet ^^

[@Hezzadude12]

By chance I saw him in a Melbourne pub before he became famous about 25+ years ago. I always remember that night because its rarer than rare to see someone so gifted and so his success didn't surprise me one bit. I've been playing guitar for 40 yrs and its difficult to impress me but he blew me away that night. I was lucky to see him playing as a rockin guitarist but these days he's more of a singer doing ballads and country pop.

Timeless in so many ways

[@chrisPAT03]

Appreciate The Beatles for more masterpieces than any band will ever give us. I hate to imagine what music would be like without those four lads. And The Beach Boys, specifically Brian Wilson, for his pure genius talent in the studio.

[@RTRoberto]

I would venture to say that Mayer is a better guitar player than a singer and I mean that as a compliment because he's a good singer, with a good voice. I decided this after listening to him playing blues music. I used to think he was just a good looking white boy pop singer, but he's a hell of a player, and Urban isn't bad either. Mayer is also a better song writer than for which I initially game him credit. Gravity is damn good. Very sparse, but it says a lot in a few words.

[@DBEENE123]

When John is singing the bridge you can tell the high notes are coming and he doesn't have the range, Keith's face lights up in the background and he leaps forward to hit the high notes "...It's a love that lasts forever.." And they both just smile. Keith knew he needed to jump in. Dank moment.

[@Dionsilberman]

this was when john had his vocal issues so its kind of sad to see :(

[@FranticSloth22]

DBEENE123 If John wasn’t having vocal issues during this performance he’d hit some heavenly high notes. His performance in LA of Neon shows his incredible range

[@ValWillKay]

Right before that, John gives him an upwards head nod to let Keith know he needs to take it

[@spongboobman5860]

You kmow how many times they probably practiced this song? Alot, maybe I don't know

[@DBEENE123]

@@spongboobman5860 a lot of artists don't. Pre-colab sessions, award show gigs, guest appearances... there are many interviews and documentaries showcasing the musicians ability to jump into songs with little practice. John clearly couldn't hit that note and Keith was late jumping over to the mic to sing it. Evidence points towards "cool moment". Sorry Mr. contrarian Grinch.

[@genwt3916]

my favorite part about this double guitar solo is that it's actually a triple guitar solo. Took me about until about the 6th or 7th listening to properly notice it, but the third guitarist is doing some pad-like lines during the quiet part that I think really work well with the star duo. Props to who ever that guy is! Playing supplemental yet non-intrusive stuff is an art on it's own

[@unclecrips]

That’s John’s band so has to be Zane Carney.

[@4nepia]

@@skyplays5103 John had an issue with he's vocal cords and needed to have surgery, he's alright now, bit this was right after the surgery, that's why he was unable to hit the higher notes, and if you listen to his concerts he had to change the way he sings a bit because of it.

[@MrMegaRocket]

Andryo that actually makes perfect sense. I never even realized that on Queen of California from this same Crossroads Festival, he’s singing the parts way lower than on the studio version. IMO, I think that live version is actually better than the studio version. Haha

According to Wikipedia John Mayer became obsessed with the guitar after watching Marty McFly jam out in Back To The Future. He was so obsessed with playing and practicing as a kid his parents brought him to a psychiatrist. Twice.

[@RP-rz2sl]

Let’s keep in mind how tense of a time this was for Mayer. Any big JM fans know that though this performance is mind blowing, but the vocals lacked. John was going through a real tough time here: a year from his throat surgery and rediscovering his voice and some of the missing pieces he lost. The world saw him as an ego-headed womanizer, but that’s not who John is and this moment in time was a major turning point for him as a musician and a man

[@oneofakind9784]

Why make excuses for John MAYER, this is one of the greatest songs! Two men making love on guitar’s as another comment had said! Seriously, this song is addictive

[@RP-rz2sl]

[@StephanieL180]

@@oneofakind9784 John Mayer had granulomas on his vocal cords which meant he was close to losing his voice completely. He couldn't even speak for around half a year, and was using an iPad to communicate instead, in an effort to give his voice an opportunity to heal. If you compare his voice here to say, 2007, you can see he's still really struggling here. It's only by 2015-16 that you can see some portions of his old voice come back, IMO.
