    I love how between 4:51-5:30 Keith plays these complex riffs on the mid-ish frets of the lower strings. This allows John to be a little bit more creative with those jazzy riffs higher up on the frets. I wish they made an album together with music just like this. But the way record labels are these days, this unfortunately wouldn't happen :(

      I'd guess both have big enough names to make any collab album somewhat commercially viable. Mayer & Urban on an entire album would be spectacular indeed, brilliant artists who compliment each other perfectly both as guitarists and singers!

    the coolest part about these 2 is they seem completely different john over there with his eyes closed just feeling the music and keith rocking out head banging and getting with the music yet they both work together so freaking well it’s amazing

  • @nateskula7648
    @nateskula7648 Před 7 lety +17

    Wow, the way John's folky major chords and soloing in the breakdown changes the song is absolutely remarkable. Even Keith is intrigued by it at 3:58

  • @paulnicastro8945
    @paulnicastro8945 Před 5 lety +9

    John’s solo and guitar tone is beautiful. The fact that he can never duplicate that solo ever again and it was all on the spot played with feeling makes him one of the greatest we’ll ever see

    Both of these guys are fabulous guitar players. To say otherwise is to short change both of them. They play different styles, both can play lightly or shred as necessary. Enjoy them for what they do and be glad they are both around to be listened to...

    I like it that John Mayer doesnt stick to blues and pop only. other artists just say that they dont want to play in other styles because they dont dare and think it will not sell anymore or wont be as good as usual

  • @ripmurdock6975
    @ripmurdock6975 Před 9 lety +14

    This is fucking great. Keith is a great player, all tight, stinging melodic bends and sweet runs, but he is also totally generous here and gives John lots of space to play his looser, improv jazz-inflected bursts of rhythm and melody. Works really well together, really rocking, authentic take on the song.

    • @lukem7237
      @lukem7237 Před 8 lety

      wow bro or sista , your just totally hating John Mayer. there's no way in hell you can put down John Mayer's ability to play the Guitar. Just because he produces a different style of music than you like the guy can play the Guitar. every style every beat every rhythm and, PLAYS THEM ALL GREAT. When he just jams like no one ever to music. Now as for Keith Urban........... WOW. I had no idea this guy could jam like that. NO IDEA this guy at all (thought he was just a country singer) but this guy jams. they play GREAT together. its an interesting combo that works.

      Nothing here is truly improvised I believe - these are things guitarists of this caliber have touched up on many times- that said, if one had to pick a couple of guys to plead one’s case in front of St Pete at the gate with only six-string at hand, one would have to go with John for his playing and Keith for his spirit- divinity from minute 4 onwards....

    I personally think his two best albums were his live ones Try! and Where the Light Is. This man is a musical genius. He can play the guitar like no one has ever seen before, acoustic or electric, and can sing just as incredibly!

    @jamesdc60 Před 12 lety +1

    I agree. You can see that in some of the older guys famous for guitar. The ones who stuck to their one genre became tired and repetitive, where as their peers who branched out are mostly still going strong. And its on both sides just like the two in the video. Clapton and Willie Nelson for example. Old dudes rockin it. You should check out some of Willie's work outside of his famous country stuff, its amazing. And Clapton has jump started his career several times in different genres.
