John Mayer Crossroad (Live in Japan)

[@whtesrgeswe4128]

You know John boutta lay down some serious blues when he whips out the es335

[@kaushikravindran3587]

Haha lmaoo, you’re absolutely right

[@andrewclemons8619]

Took the words right outta my mouth

[@eh-jay-music]

His playing style on this guitar vs his others really showcases how accurate and intentional he can be... just incredible!

[@Me97202]

The best guitar player of his generation. Without a doubt. “I don’t think John realizes how great a player he really is.” - Eric Clapton

[@bymicromize]

@Andrija Terzic I don't really understand why John Frusciante is such a good guitar player. He makes super interesting riffs. But his playing is not super great, especially live?

[@framesbydylan]

@Andrija Terzic god Mayer has some of the most iconic guitar riffs of all time man. Do yourself a favour and listen to continuum and where the light is

In 2022, hear me loud and clear, JOHN MAYER IS A GUITAR GOD! That’s bonified, as well as his through the roof vocal capabilities. As an artist and entertainer he is nothing less than A Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING ❣️💡🌟💎👑

[@538-y6j]

If you’re referring to the show in Toronto then yes 😂

[@TheRageCommenter]

Hard to tell cuz everything is washed out in the vid but pretty sure the other guitarist is Robbie McIntosh. He’s a great great session guitarist who played a lot for the Beatles and other famous rock bands. Mayer has been scooping him up for tours since Where The Light Is 2008 probably even before that.

The chord progression is also slightly different than the original, it sounds more modern.

the 5 chord is an F#m*something* instead of an EM7 like the classic

[@mikeryder9982]

Man, what is that technique he uses in the intro? It sounds amazing. I can’t tell if he’s just using a slap to replace strumming or hitting harmonics...

[@Frisbieinstein]

Both.

[@Tpoage4]

Frisbieinstein absolute animal

[@CorBor69]

He does it when he plays ain’t no sunshine too. Pretty sure he uses the same guitar

[@Jameslawrencehaardy]

@Ashwin kumar wrong - he's hitting the harmonics on the 12th fret

[@3v3ryDayGam3r]

He’s hitting the harmonic 12 frets above the note he’s fretting, so in this case he’s doing a lot between the 15th and 17th fret. This is a pretty simple technique to do, just make sure you have a decent amount of gain and the side of your thumb hits the fret right on the wire.

[@jeanpinheiro6828]

Fucking Awesome !!!!

[@Prisoner]

Anyone knows a tutorial about that guitar right hand technique at 0:10? it looks like slap/tapping but I would love to see a tutorial sepcifically about that particular thing he is doing

[@madishkashishka]

Actually, it's very simple, but requires accuracy. So, basically you are tapping (hitting the fret wire) the fret that is higher by an octave, meaning +12 frets. Imagine you are hitting the note on 5th fret, so hit the 17 fret's wire and you will get the natural harmonic. It works for all the strings. Hope that helps.
