John Mayer - Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

Live from Red Rocks, Colorado. 9/1/2010

[@freekvandenoetelaar6528]

When will this guy be acknowledged as a true guitar legend? My god.

[@briankeegan8089]

He is. But a guitar player can't be a broad legend nowadays, there just isn't the same sized main stream that there was in the days of Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen. Nowadays, most legends are confined to their genre/fan base.

[@aarongaynor2002]

Unfortunately when he dies :(

[@hklilly4854]

IYKYK - He is to all that matter.

[@psychoxs]

I laugh at those who deny his skills when he is truly an amazing guitar player. You may not like him or his music, but saying he's "an average guitar player" is utter ignorance.

[@TheGuitarislove]

This is one of the best live guitar performances ever.

[@uranium800]

John Mayer is one of the best guitarists of the world I love his musical inspiration.

Such a great guitar player

[@pettersam6184]

cant get fuckin´enough of this! Pure talent and soul baby!!

[@sparkyman91]

One of my all time favourite John Mayer licks is at 2:37 It just fits into the song perfectly.

[@jakes2503]

***** me too man, think it's my favourite.

[@d33f15h]

+sparkyman91 This is also one of my all time favorite licks ever. Anyone have a guitar tab for it?

[@davidnatoli1085]

d33f15h after 2:37 or just before at 2:35?

[@theshadowhunter1905]

David Natoli both lol

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

Give the huge Keith Carlock (drummer) some credit people. this performance is 25% Keith Carlock right here. The hell he's soo good. and John Mayer: yeah he needs no description. He's fucking John Mayer. favourite musician ever.

[@nishaploypailinphucharoen3669]

yeah "He's fucking John Mayer!!" adore him

[@jrhmiami]

you know hes like 35 and has been playing guitar 20 years right? At least you didn't outright hate on him, but hes one of the best around these days for sure. Other generations were loaded with amazing players, we only got a few. and there is only one John Mayer

[@BiaginiNick]

3:00 - 3:34 will be the death of me trying to figure out what he's playing

[@joshmtz09]

Still listening in 2021! Im in tears how good this performance is 😭

[@tamynickels9328]

This one on Vinyl in Best Recording Qualoty would change the World of Music

"Who cares what he's like in his private life, he's a great guitarist/songwriter, and he surrounded himself with a great rhythm section" - Word!

[@tkjm94]

@MrChillywilly1234 it's never too late to discover talent! I'm glad that there is people that dig deeper than the Your Body Is a Wonderland face, he is much more than that!

[@luismejia6802]

This is by far my favorite rendition of this song, it's the "I don't give a fuck" attitude that makes it an extraordinary performance, even when not "perfect" on the technical side of music.

[@musichead133]

Yes exactly! He's having so much fun 😍

[@elpedomasgrande1]

Well Mayer does give a lot of fucks actually

[@luismejia6802]

@@elpedomasgrande1 Of course. He wouldn't be this good if not.

[@elpedomasgrande1]

Luis Mejia sure. But not in that sense. He‘s an excellent player. He also is very concerned about how he is perceived and his expressions are very acted and premeditated. Jimi Hendrix, BB King... those guys actually didn‘t give a fuck.

[@coonjamalay]

​@@elpedomasgrande1here he's truly not giving a f. He looks high af

[@charliebrown1025]

This is pure soul and talent. Everything. Ignore the awkward vocals and stuff bc if u can feel it, it is soul.

[@talfrider1]

i can watch him improvises all day

[@DJF1985]

One of the best of our time. I think its great that John Mayer brings out all these old classics at his concerts. He, it seems, has more fun playing all these old, great, and timeless tunes. He is educating a new generation on old school GREAT music. God Bless him.

[@brookedelaney1]

This guy is amazing! whoever says different either is deaf, or never played music!

[@kimberlykairo]

From 2023, John is a timeless artist. His music is as good today as it ever was. Love it and him.

[@keithschubert]

Fantastic! I see this is during a Mayer hippie phase which i never knew existed haha

[@Simonfreediving]

People at the show might have been completly blown off by that prestation! This is sending me somewhere out of hearth so good!

[@ImmaFlamingo]

This song just sounds like a summer Sunday night when it’s just been too hot and it’s finally getting somewhat comfortable. But you’re still a little sweaty from the heat…. And you’re just getting relaxed with your friends.

[@uuumina]

I love the way of him to play the guitar. he's very good and does with passion!

[@bremerstentmassage]

Mayer is just Mayer in all his own kind of awesomeness. Why need to compare? No need!

[@TheHarper07]

what a complete badass so underrated he is a freaking beast

[@tjski1]

LOVE IT! Great reggae groove in this unique interpretation of a classic.

[@dasunkraut]

welcome back again, Mr Mayer.

Este muchacho sera un "Dios" mas de la guitarra pero ademas canta y compone al mismo nivel que toca . La personalidad de su guitarra y de su musica se merece estar entre los grandes hasta el fin de la historia . Todo lo que es Unico hay que protegerlo y aprender de el . El es Unico , otra Leyenda viva .

Red rocks! Sept 1 2010! I was there! Row 5. Boom

[@yalami7]

ahhhh!! i freaking love this!

[@brizzyroz]

There may be many people who play at or above his technical level.. John Mayer's 'feel' - a thing which cannot be taught - that's what's so special about him, and puts him a notch above many other players. I'd even rank him above Clapton in that arena, and I love Clapton's playing, I just feel it more from J.M. So, yea, you may be right, technically, but technical doesn't reach people, unless the people are Jazz..

[@bramzel95]

this video was in my favorites during the intro already....

Brilliance!

[@ICantFindaNameSoYeah]

Not sure you can get a better quality of this particular version, John Mayer streamed this concert and this was the quality that it was streamed in.

[@mortenkul]

I have to be honest. I have never before heard a guitarist where you may say there is no typical riffs or stereotypes with. I have never before heard any guitarist play something new every single song or concert clip he has played on, and the riffs he is playing are REALLY REALLY EPIC. Therefore, in my opinion, this has to be the worlds best blues- guitarist. Yes. I am serious.

[@freebirdlp]

I was there, let's just IT WAS AMAZING.

[@Niecee44]

he's having so much fun =)

[@luckyluck9379]

Madness.

[@mattofirippu]

REALLY!! Beast Mode.

[@RuthlessRecordzzz]

Wow. My level of respect for mr mayer has rose enormously after seeing THIS solo. Amazing how tight in the beginning and how crazy after that. Maybe a little Santana I think? Nice bridge to the i know too.
