probably not if only thing that he does is covering others :D

[@jorisson2689]

Like John Mayer is now 🙃

[@NapsterRulez]

I doubt without the acces to modern day music theory etc he'd be this good

[@Ashpet1]

Why? He is good, but there is thousands of others equally as good. It all comes down to timing and luck

[@walleviolencia]

Agree. In this there is music, above all else, transending notes n technics. Its this guy and Sharp, that I’v heard playing guitar as it should be.

[@alpswen2651]

Absolutely insane phrasing, bending precision, octaves playing, SRV/Mayer-style rake sound, tone, improv skills, the list goes on. this is the BEST cover of any Mayer song I've ever seen. No actually, the best cover of any song I have ever seen. I will download this video as an audio file and put this into my mp3.

[@seanmannguitar]

Hey there. So... I'm 55, and ..you know..we've all been doing this for a long time. And there's something about a stratocaster in the right hands that always tears my focus away from all the other important things I should be doing, and it just resonates in my bones. I e played many different instruments and I gotta say...it's the strat that I wanna hear. Well done Sean Mann . I love everything I've be heard from you.

[@fsback1965]

This is great! You didn't make a cover of Jamie Harrison's version, you didn't do a carbon copy of Where The Light Is. You made it your own and took bits and pieces from Mr Mayer's various performances and threw in your own playing into it. You did a cover while making your own unique version. Top notch sir. Top notch🏆

[@jensentran1978]

I know right, I was so happy to see various bits from other performances, I heard a lot of similarities between this and john’s rock in rio set.

[@ericboxman]

I actually remember an interview john Mayer did where he said he preferred people to make their own thing from it. Follow the basic structure of the songs if your covering a song but use your own chord voicing and feel.

[@TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

I really dig that little muted rhythm run starting @4:05. It’s got a Tomo Fujita vibe to it The KZbin algorithm finally had a win today via introducing me to this Sean’s channel , dude can play

That little part at 5:15 from the Rock in rio solo has got to be the best lick I've heard

[@MOAB-UT]

Pretty easy run actually.

[@muditsingh5686]

​@@MOAB-UTreally?

[@MOAB-UT]

@@muditsingh5686 Actually yes, for sure. I could literally teach it to you in about 15 minutes- then if you practiced a few days, you could do it. It's just a pattern called a Pentatonic Box shape. It's hard to mess up honestly. If you never played it seems really hard. Before I played (over 20 years now), I was like you. I would stand at the end of a stage, mouth open saying that is IMPOSSIBLE and I could NEVER, EVER do that. Today I can. I have taken Seans lessons. He is an excellent player and can play some things better then I can- but again, this little run is very simple. Even he will tell you that. If you pay attention closely, he is mostly repeating many of the same notes, at the same place on the neck and using a hammer-on, pull-off technique so it appears fast and difficult. It really is not. If you dig guitar, you should consider giving it a try- take some lessons. I recommend a site called TrueFire. I still take lessons and love this site- also Zombie Guitar is great. In person in the beginning helps a lot. If you want to see something really hard to play- dig on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSWpYqQpr2bpM0&ab_channel=TommyEmmanuel%2CCGP
