What's your favorite John Mayer solo?

[@BenK.]

Vultures Where The Light Is - Ending Solo

[@washerwood8918]

Ummm heavy metal? Rob zombie

[@ericgriebenow2719]

Slow dancing in a burning room

[@supermariopm5944]

I Guess I Just feel Like, dunno, that bend tap gets me everytime

[@lukereyes9589]

City Love

[@Bangkokguitar]

Mayer's tone is so unique that even if you're playing the same phrasing, you're still hard pressed to sound like him.

[@MusicisWin]

Yes I woke up at 5am to film this

[@WhiteCranK]

Badass you are ! :D regards from switzerland

[@TreyClay]

That is dedication

[@Jasonadventures]

Great

[@alexandereisen3486]

The struggle is real

[@RJRonquillo]

😲😭🙏

“Go cry about it why dontcha”

[@melaniefayemusic]

I went to the same show as you then :)

[@shawnmercer3124]

Love you Melanie!!

[@inmemoryofgstringbender]

Your playing is awesome

[@codieplaysguitar5585]

I saw you on broadway for a moment after the show and SHOULDVE SAID HI but I didn’t!

[@leevi8966]

Oh shit you are the fender player series ad girl... You are really good imo

[@jacksonfrazier6130]

Literally everyone cool went to the same one as me I’m so happy😂😂

[@PoppinDC4114]

4:11-4:17, anyone else hear the slight Hotel California

[@CapitanFinnart]

Yeah the first part

[@mimijeet9921]

Ye the beginning of the solo

[@hruaizelakisuke]

Me too

[@ajwhitfield5793]

Can also be heard in the “I Can’t Tell You Why” solo

[@caliskaterdrummer]

Scrolled thru to see if someone else would comment about it😂

[@samme79]

Covered in Rain is hands down his best solo IMO

[@jakelewis996]

That and Lenny man on the side

[@keithremedy]

Not even maybe before 2005 that’s recorded I’ve seen him at least 12 times since that any given Thursday show and he’s been better and better each time. And as professional studio guitarist myself I wouldn’t say a best solo there is no best solo only great work. Just like comparing guitar players there’s so many goats. He’s the only guy I’ve seen in ten years that has gotten better every single year. My generation is lucky to have him. He’s also the only guy Rene Martinez wanted to work with and if you don’t know who that is 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@inchskater]

@@keithremedy I would agree with you regarding his versatility. But if you want to hear all out blues jams I think there were better times to see him live. I feel like he settled down a bit which is absolutely fine but might be less satisfying for some guitarists listening.

[@Nairrrrrrr]

Listen to Assassin (Live in Japan)

[@BrianSheu]

the part at 6:20 can be explained as an E minor pentatonic lick rather than D minor, the notes played exist in both scales. The chords in that particular section go from A major to E (E Major being the relative major key to C#minor). So if you're thinking of the tune in the context of E major, shifting between the E major and E minor pentatonic scale makes a lot of sense, as in blues it is common to shift between the minor and major tonalities. The E minor pentatonic sounds particularly good over the A and E major chord (it's like a IV I in the key of E)

[@conordunne2460]

His bold as love solo is pretty amazing

[@apurvaisnotcool]

This is like Habits of John Mayer pt:2

[@michaelyork4554]

John brings humor, sarcasm, and playfulness to his guitar playing, to make happy blues

[@jimmason8502]

John Mayer approaches things differently because unlike the rest of us he's a musical genius.

[@IngoFr]

2:18 beginning of that Yousician-add

[@TreyClay]

_IFRX47 _ lol

[@41neve85]

@@TreyClay LOL you're right

[@efolik3579]

And burden solo

[@tannernagrone]

Lolol I hate that I know what you’re talking about

[@prometheustv6558]

Fender Play is the new Yousician.

[@law6044]

I'm from the UK and my parents surprised me with tickets to see him at Maddison Square Garden 2 weeks ago. Easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to. He's a master of the guitar

[@fuzzedOut]

These are my favorite style videos of yours, the player and song analysis/lesson/theory oriented ones. Keep it up!

[@nbushmaker1709]

You’re a great player, and a very unique “thinker” about the instrument. Thank you!

[@helter2K10]

Took the wife to see him in Brisbane and got moved to the fifth row - absolute standout for one of the best concerts ever - seeing the three of those guys - JM, David Ryan Harris and Isaiah Sharkey on guitar was a beautiful thing indeed Love your vids man - keep up the great work

[@baldbearded9601]

That Slow Dancing with Chris Stapleton was pretty cool! His voice suits the song! Lucky you!

[@daniellove2756]

Man! With your vast knowledge, skill and feel on the guitar, and your amazing ability to explain what you’re trying to teach, you do an amazing job and I want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to Music Is Win. I always enjoy your lessons and appreciate your willingness to share. Cheers to you!!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Dang, Neon still remains my favorite song from, but Gravity has my favorite solo! Awesome to see that you saw him!

[@robinvillanueva8258]

When i saw John Mayer's name, i click

[@jakefowler8522]

Got tickets to see John Mayer in London this October. Can’t wait. Saw him a few years ago. Amazing player

[@joebaby555]

That was so informative and I will incorporate this into my playing..I think John Mayer is talent that comes along only once in a lifetime....He can sing, write, and solo incredibly.. Anyone of those three can be a career in music.,and he’s got all three! His playing with Dead and Company has also been a joy to see and hear...Thanks for this wonderful tutorial and I love the tone and wood grain on your PRS guitar... you play from the heart and is a pleasure to listen to..

[@madslund3379]

Going to see him next time he's in Denmark, looking forward to it so much! he's definitely my favorite artist, good video by the way as always!

[@damnitdevo]

I’m seeing John Mayer in Atlanta tonight, excited to see a great show. great video!

[@El_Vincento]

Great video as always, thanks for the upload!

[@Jack-li2ef]

Dude. This is a brilliant breakdown. Respect

[@TheJMG13]

I am absolutely in LOVE with that guitar!!

[@doolbro]

JM is one of those players that I think is ALWAYS thinking about progression and theory even though his hands are auto pilot at this point. It's all really smart choices. Things I wish I did or knew how to do!

[@chaddavies1032]

Play for 10000- 15000 hours if not more and maybe u will😂😂😂

[@Butterman752]

IMHO these videos are absolutely essential in the development of your own 6/7/8 string sound, thankyou 👏🤘

[@patrickcarroll1754]

Brilliantly articulated, Tyler. Great work.

[@daviddevane8397]

This is great. Thanks for teaching this lesson !

[@tommyrandallmusic]

That is easily my favorite song of his. very emotional.

[@seanspiterimusician9186]

Brilliant video, brilliant guitar and a brilliant player.

[@codro1982]

Didnt realize you were in Tennessee. That's awesome. Murfreesboro here. Enjoy your vids man. Keep'em coming.

[@joma974]

"I guess i just feel like" Has some really interesting licks in both solos actually. Hope you do a video on it someday! Great video as always.

[@Mongrethod5000]

One thing I notice from watching you for a few years is how much you have improved, especially your improv. To be clear you were always a god, but to me a lot of guitarists on here at your level don’t really noticeably change from year to year, where I can see that practice is still paying off for you. Cheers man you are a legit inspiration to me

[@cchsbball23]

dude, you're a beast. keep on the great content!

[@marcthacker4walls]

Dude, kudos to you man. You work hard, and are doing well on KZbin. I'm truly happy for you. Great video btw

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

This was an excellent video, man. Really nicely done. You put a spotlight on some of the most interesting aspects of how he plays lead. I found it fascinating and you know your stuff, too! You deconstructed it like a pro. Cheers! Love your channel!

[@kjbatman1215]

you're by far my favorite guitar youtuber out there

[@scottpeacher7495]

I’m seeing John tonight in Charlotte and I’m fully ready to be inspired and blown away

[@doulos737]

Great lesson! I like John Mayer. Yes, he is a good guitarist, and you are also. Thanks for sharing. You're a good teacher as well... :-)

[@hellsSG]

Killer playing man. Been in a tonality rut for a while now. Always great to find new inspiration :)

[@blinddog58]

I had to watch this twice to get the lesson. First time through I was totally districted by that gorgeous PRS!

[@danielcrowe7103]

I’m seeing him tonight in Charlotte. Can’t wait!

[@zeevshaff]

Brilliant and simple video we’ll done!

[@tomaspaulmusic]

This is super helpful. Thanks so much Tyler. By the way, this is my second month with Guitar Super System and it has helped so much!

[@xander4644]

I'm seeing him on Monday. Can't wait.

[@awkipintee]

Awesome & helpful explanation & btw you nailed it 👌

[@tristanivanrodriguez4955]

BRILLIANT!

[@agepejota1863]

4:11 you almost went full Hotel California there 😆

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

Wow, Awesome! Great job.Thanks Man!

[@joecollins1120]

I am going to the Chicago show in 5 days! I hope to be so inspired and learn a lot, as well!

[@baileyarango]

Naaaailed it man! Thank you for the excellent lesson

[@dawsoncollins9368]

Awesome lesson. Vids like these are why I’m subbed👍🏼🤟🏼

[@shreddievanhalen1]

I was there too! Best night of my life

[@jakebrandt5882]

That little minor pentatonic half step up trick is a great way to build a feel of tension before resolving....which makes a resolve to a root note or a major 3rd even sweeter. Its like it makes your ears parched and thirsty for a drink...and then you get that sonic glass of ice cold lemonade at the resolution, and it just makes it so much more satisfying.

[@aevoguitars2576]

stunning prs, i think im gonna copy that colour for my next build.

[@maxx.mazzeo]

I DID enjoy this, thank you very much sir

[@TheAdamBates]

Drove back to Chattanooga last night and got back at 3am. Can't believe you got up at 5am to record this haha. Great video! It was a fantastic show!

[@Danielsobotta]

2007 Crossroads Festival. 1st Solo on Belief kicked AAAAAASSSSS. My Favourite OAT!

[@dylanunruh5552]

Hey Tyler thanks so much for this video! I saw him live recently too and have been trying to do a similar thing (trying to find what makes him stand out) and you do an amazing job at it!

[@jeremiedikebo7415]

Very impressive!

[@gavinsanford3576]

Hey I just saw him at the Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan. Great show, he's an awesome guitarist.

[@theScHteaK]

I love ending... sighhhh ... john mayer is really good at guitar lol

[@aykutaydogdu269]

Most people would just chill at show but you analyze the John Mayer and still has your perception to learn new concepts. This is the reason your channel gets that big imo, keep shredding!

[@BradColemanisHere]

Love this. Thanks.

Awesome tone and awesome video, man!

[@chanhtrungle1188]

[@leocapo1996]

Man, i loved this video. It’s great. I actually feel like I’ve learnt a lot without even picking up my guitar

[@roteirotei9949]

Wow this is incredible

[@bramschouten5231]

Great video man!!

[@cpcp8432]

6:50 hey I think what john actually does is playing 5th position of Em pentatonic

[@BryanSaxonOfficial]

Was at that show and can confirm it was amazing!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

I started watching this video with my arms crossed going , hah! What John Mayer lick are you going to show me Win that I dont already know........I went from that to going and grabbing my guitar and replaying this video. Just BRILLIANT!! Its a lesson in the concept of John' s approach to solos. Well done and thank you and yes John Mayer is a monster guitarist.Cheers!

[@MrEvanBacon]

I love this guitar that you’re using in this video. I have the SE version. Hopefully one day I can get the core.

[@diegohernan82]

8:43 sounds very close to something that Richie Sambora seems to be doing all the time in "Bed of Roses". When you played that lick it reminded me of that song. Great vid, cheers

[@jacquesmalecaut4956]

Omg you are right

[@gmdoukas]

Good for you... If I were to see John live, I don't think I would have the heart to grab my guitar again...

[@johnaton9390]

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and Gravity, both live in LA versions. Nice video by the way Tyler!

[@zeitlosband3619]

What a gorgeous guitar!

[@eroticblack]

amazing stuff!

[@captaincabbage1895]

My favorite John Mayer solo is wonderwall.

[@a.krueger6486]

Great stuff. I noticed many guitars hanging in background. Well done. Many people neglect to use the "hanging tune" tuning, when they store guitars in this fashion. And as a result, the frets become very fretsifonic. Just a reminder to all. Hooray and good day!

[@StevenBrooksBand]

Damn. You're a hell of a player. Very informative, thank you.

[@yajushchaturvedi]

Wow great observations man hats off

[@bloosman1]

C# min is one of my favorite keys! It opens the guitar to so many possibilities. Robin Trower does a lot in C# min.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Just so you know though D Minor is the saddest of all keys and people weep instantly upon hearing it. Use it with extreme caution!

[@wwinford]

I was at this same show! Would’ve been cool to meet you!

[@zaviercadorin6244]

Mayer is great. His tone really sets him apart from other players.

[@cjcalimlim3297]

Great analysis... I really enjoyed the video (:

[@Hutchy_96]

I was there too! It was amazing

[@n0u0m0b065332]

The d minor shift is so beautiful to me. Using something out of the scale of the key that fits as a 3rd and 5th to the progression is subtle genius @6:46

[@n0u0m0b065332]

Aryut Shrestha right around @6:45 brother 👊

[@kwesihenderson9633]

that AX is nasty bro. g8 content keep up the gd wrk !!!

[@tomderoon]

Thanks for this video! Really puts his "approach"/thinking a bit more into context

[@chi3knees]

Man, great vid, when he’s playing ain’t no sunshine at red rocks and slips into the fuzz pedal in the middle of his solo starts doing some hammerons and slapping its pretty insane
