James Bay & Jack Garratt - If I Ain't Got You

[@Taylorsluver13]

wow.... both of them are insanely talented

[@rachelwilson2625]

agree amazingly talented

[@OlegTkhoryk]

Man I wish James played more of these solos in his studio recorded songs. That was dope!

[@squidy2343]

I typically don't like guitar solos since vocals are my favorite but damn I could watch James play solos all day because of how into them he gets. I think besides talent, if a musician has passion that shows when they play then they're the whole package. Absolutely love watching him play

[@susokyotoMEGAMAN]

holy shit that solo was amazing

[@1DEdits]

this is such a great cover. the vocals of both of them are both incredibly strong and unique (yet similar to each other) and james' solo was the best playing ive heard from him (and clearly mayer influenced !!!)

[@fartigus671]

Well don't know if it's John Mayer specifically, but James is heavily influenced by blues just like John Mayer so yeah

[@claree618]

^this exactly. John Mayer didn't invent anything to be copied. They are both blues/soul singers who are great guitar players...and who appreciate the blues/soul/r&b musicians who came before them. I will never understand the comparison between James Bay and John Mayer.

[@Blessman8]

True that John Mayer didn't invent anything to be copied but every musician develops some sort of padron on their solos over the years, that's why you can hear some piece of music sometimes and say which musician you are hearing to or 3 or 4 guys that may be possibly playing that. Obviously you don't need to sound like any other artist just because you share the same type of music, that's the beauty of music, it's variety. But I'm with 1DEdits on this one, I was looking somewhere else at mid solo and for a moment I swear I was hearing John Mayer soloing. This may be a coincidence or an influence, both are good. I don't hear John Mayer when I listen to James Bay but I heard on this solo.

[@imnothere51]

Rather than listening to this and hearing John Mayer as an influence, I hear the influences that both john and James share, and appreciate the awesome and different ways it manifests in their music. I don't think James grew up obsessing over John Mayer ... lol... I think they just happened to have obsessed over a lot of the same music growing up, and it created two really badass musicians.

[@kokolatte825]

Vasco Figueiredo you are not alone. I definitely hear John Mayer in this and I don't usually think that when I listen to James Bay. Just here.

[@sidp1981]

future of uk music right there

[@alsicemoy6717]

James Bay, the guitar the band the voices, guys you rock! Love it

[@dustinsmith93]

I LOVE their voices together. They blend so well together on harmonies, I need more Jack and James duets

[@bethedwards7035]

Jack Garratt is amazing! I've been listening to his music for so long

[@astridx3]

Love it how the talking gradually stops.. It's like people are realizing what kind of legends are in front of them ;-)

[@caroldoocy4130]

I'm so glad you said this.

[@klarc7144]

They should release that! Outstanding!

[@gazza3710]

[@billiebian3826]

I'm a fan of both. This cover is great.

[@borussiamati]

[@NoSenseOfCrime]

Jack Garratt brought me here

[@someoneacrosstheplanet]

Same :O

[@marsietis55]

same ;)

[@philliplao172]

so much chills going on haahah damn

[@Sebastien_21]

The guitar solo must have been inspired by Covered in rain by John Mayer.

[@kerenM007]

+Sébastien Rayape that's just what i was thinking!

[@GilangRamanda]

+Sébastien Rayapen everybody loves minor to major key changes, especially in blues solo, this and covered in rain are the example, greatness!

[@imvvnh]

Loooove them

[@Ronnie945]

wow... ridiculously good.

[@caroldoocy4130]

Wow, James can really play his ass off. I feel privileged to see this now.

[@CarloCenni1968]

Really great !!

[@treaqle]

all we have to do is wait for James to get a sleeve tattoo from Japan and to date Taylor Swift

[@inge.lamboo]

this dude ROCKS

[@harveyluo94]

this should be in iTunes

[@anthonycontreras5003]

Check it out for the good song, stay for the great solo!

[@jessicaknotts1560]

Killed it ♥

[@MultiVince95]

Nice

[@patrickgeraghty7438]

Anyone know where the recording he done for Spotify is gone?

[@ThatDopeChickErin]

I liked the video before even watching bc of the talent present.

[@galty1987]

I want James Bay to play me like that guitar

[@louiseturner5640]

I was there! Amazing night x

[@Keyakina]

Anyone know the chords/ tab / tuning?

[@AzizNoend]

Blues Power!

[@SqBlast]

Wish that solo could last way longer

[@TrinidadJamesWoods]

ChillSong wish jack Garrett had a solo. he's even better than Bey, imo.

[@gordoncarey9208]

There's another video of this track recorded on a phone somewhere, solo goes on for ages, and Jack get's one.

[@TrinidadJamesWoods]

John Gordon thanks. I'll hunt it down.

[@SqBlast]

Find it and give it to us !

[@davidkemmerermusic3055]

John Mayer must have influenced James so much growing up

[@genevievedietz5672]

how so?

[@genevievedietz5672]

None of anything I just heard sounds anything close to John Mayer

[@RgW00D]

I agree. John Mayer is a better musician.

[@RelaxingKorean]

+Genevieve Dietz it kinda reminds me of covered in rain

[@shazpatel8936]

+Relaxing Korean more like alecia keys

[@Ananisismiss]

6 minutes of magic

[@larasoto1991]

Why tf people can not just shut up and enjoy?!

[@caroldoocy4130]

you got that right.

[@0oTHEJACKo0]

5:22-5:30 looks like a one armed James Bay is playing the guitar

[@TommyGrobmyer]

hahahahahaha

[@박규현-v5t]

잭가렛 때문에 온 사람이 많네ㄷㄷㄷ 제임스베이ㅠㅠ♡

[@MarcoWoM]

cool \o/

[@justinpratt1622]

Where's jacks solo!! I saw a shit quality of this same performance and it was like 3 mins longer and it had jack garret killing it on guitar after james

[@gungapersadyadav2162]

john mayer inspired him for sure

[@anisah4u21]

Thank you London snapchat story 💜

[@elfinia]

Jack needs a bit of discipline.....and surprisingly James supplies it !

[@JongEunK]

하 시바 진짜 잭가렛 미쳤다 진짜 시발..

[@immunity856]

+JongEunK 그러게요

[@forgamesforme]

Wing wing Wong ping pong

[@HeltonMoura]

Jack did his guitar cry... : '(

[@melaniemartin7592]

I love the music but James, buddy come to my house and let me fix you dinner. You look like a good wind will blow you away.

[@caroldoocy4130]

April 2108--guess he hasn't blown away but yes I'd like to fix him dinner. And have him stay the night.

[@OSPATE009]

it's okay, but definitely doesn't beat John Mayer

[@josephlofthouse6138]

It baffles me that people have spent money going to see this guy play and precede to talk all the way through. Anyone else think that's bonkers? Massive pet hate, sorry!

[@josephlofthouse6138]

*proceed

[@1coolnotes]

Sorry but James Bay is milking the up coming stars who will be enormous

[@AishahDawud]

+1coolnotes Totally agree, but he obviously recognises talent when he sees it

[@jonyoungmw]

Good stuff. But a far cry from John Mayer. Definitely a soon-to-be.
