John Mayer - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (Live on Letterman)

[@KarlRock]

I met John once when I used to work for Sony Music. The dude took the time to meet record label staff before his gigs. And he'd hang. No rush. He'd ask you questions and try get to know you. I liked that about him, he was genuine. Anyway, I fell in love with him from that point on and really got into his albums and this became my fav song of his.

[@ronaldmckee7542]

John Mayer is a blues legend and criminally underrated guitarist, he could play lead in any band easily. When Eric Clapton the man himself gives you the highest praises....You're in the club.

[@wout69]

Underrated? By who?

[@arjunsuresh4286]

Yea but I wouldn't sat he was extremely underrated. I mean he is a 7 time Grammy winner. And he won em when internet had no relevance and when Grammys weren't full of politics. So yea I think JM just doesn't have anything else to write about rn cuz he wrote out and sang all his emotions out 10 20 years back already. He ll go down as a GOAT in pop rock what a legend he is .

[@martin-1965]

Hey Abhinav - as a guitarist for almost 50 years now, I 100% agree with you - simply beautiful, understated, lyrical and utterly perfect for that moment in the song. This is why people should be inspired by their guitar heroes but always cut their own path and NOT try and imitate their sound and style. Sure I've "stolen" licks and ideas from all the greats, Mayer included, but there is a saying that "comparison is the thief of joy" which always rings true to me. I can never be Hendrix, Page or Mayer - I can only be me, just like they could never be Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters or BB King. Mayer is a true great of modern blues. Last guy close to him in last 30 years for me was Robert Cray. Anyway... those sublime slides man 😍

I was 19 and when I first heard Continuum I knew it was great, but took me until now, 33 years old, to really appreciate how diverse he is as a musician. Few artists actually go out and try something new or different. And by John Mayer doing that he has created everything from pop to folk to blues to country tunes. And they are all great because that man knows how to write great songs. You can be a guitar virtuoso, which he is, but you have to be able to write great songs. He stays true to himself via the music and in his song writing. And i am a life long fan.

He's doing well for himself. As he very well should. There is one pretty underrated guitarist I know who deserves more credit, and his name is Rabea Massad.

NEVER GETS OLD

[@erickim3694]

As a guitar player, this was fkn amazing to watch

[@jorgemestrinho7805]

As a chef it wasn't any worse, let me tell you buddy!! 😁

[@Kevinintheback]

He's always been underrated. He's an amazing musician

[@deborahfox6064]

Love what he's wearing, real guitarist with human depth, discovered him 15 years too late. Bougtt 3 albums to make up.

[@larrybill2661]

l agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul…

[@pbfoley]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? First time tearing up watching a solo. Wow.

[@enyeng0]

3:10 holy crap that was so clean

[@voltaspeeder17]

In every aspect outstanding musician. Those are rare nowadays...

[@shaddb]

That solo....pure melodic expression

[@realgoodmind]

Nice to see the strat in his hands again. Been a while since I have seen it

[@melgibson6506]

from 4.29 onwards...John shows who he really is.....a combination of Joe Satriani and Prince...a carefullly crafted solo linning with a hardcore shredding feel....what did I just witness......speechless

[@TheCharudatta]

mel gibson Oh God that's not what you call shredding!

[@TheAndrewBFlanders]

reasonably positive that he improvised the solo - nothing crafted about it.. watch live in LA version of same song for a carefully crafted solo... this is the shittiest recording of this song imo.. and i love mayer

[@arzosahsothy]

Prince is a good comparison. Another artist who if you just listen to the radio pop hits, you will never get an appreciation for how exellent they really are.

[@mac0_tac0]

This is the best version of this song, hands down!

[@jeremychildress8701]

One of the greatest singer songwriter blues guitarists of all time This guy is a phenom for sure. Eric Clapton said that he doesn’t think that John Mayer even knows how good he really is That is high praise indeed! I mean if Eric Clapton says your amazing then brother your amazing!

[@LowLifeDeeps]

Damn it I need to see him Live

[@Leonhavenify]

***** i do not even wan't to see him live if i get payed for it :)

[@Gaenico]

Leon Haven And it wouldn't be smart, cause it'd been free money, even if you don't like him xD

[@Em20247]

Teaeli Anderson lucky

[@GripperCc]

Everything is about capturing your audience and giving them that little extra that goes right into the soul and John does that with his guitar. He is a virtuoso who always knows where he is going and plays with such perfection that he is absolutely one of the best of all time.

[@doctorh1llbilly]

I've been a Mayer booster for years, but this is a whole different level. He obviously way honed his playing whilst jammin with The Dead

[@ctown6592]

This is before the dead

[@ryanstucker7458]

I wonder if people in the audience realized what they were witnessing in this performance? This is one of the most stylishly masterful, technically magnificent, live guitar performances ever captured. Clapton, the greats...anyone who plays would agree...after they picked their collective jaw up off the ground....I guarantee. Think what you will about the man or his celebrity or whatever - but there aren't any left like this. Just had to be said. Carry on with your day.

[@dabumayanglambam8316]

I love John Mayer, he is too good to compare with....❤️❤️❤️

[@thePastafarian88]

I went and saw John Mayer recently and afterwards I had a conversation with my father about how he stacks up with some of the greats. We both agreed that not only is he up there with Clapton, Hendricks, Paige, etc., but he's probably the last one of their kind. No one does this shit anymore.

[@victorjbarker]

He's a good guitar player and pop song writer, but he and this just don't do anything for me ..
