bubinga5 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Just love this. great record. i do wonder what Pino played on. and knowledgeable John Mayer people out there. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc9VXLtgw5g Quote
JamesBass Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Pretty certain the bass player on Mayer's earliest stuff was David LaBruyere, incidentally he also produced the early Mayer stuff Quote

sblueplanet Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 This is a great live performance by the trio. Hope the link works. http://youtu.be/hYS6TdvYs_M Quote

TKenrick Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 DeLa plays some great stuff on this acoustic version of 'No Such Thing': [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbJs93OsV8Q[/media] FWIW I much prefer the first 2 Mayer records to anything he's done since, he sounded much better when his head was only half way up his own arse....

geoham Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I'm sure that Pino is the bassist whenever the band is billed as the John Mayer Trio, with Steve Jordan on drums to complete the lineup. Edited January 11, 2016 by geoham Quote

[/quote] You are correct. However Mayer uses Sean Hurley for his solo stuff both live, and in the studio currently Quote
NJE Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 John Mayer has had some serioulsy good players on board over the years. I love what each of them has done at each stage of Mayers career although I do lean towards the first few albums than the last two. I am so excited to see what comes from the trio being back in the studio. I read an article about John Mayer and he said that after doing very 'relaxed and chilled' albums he has a hankering to go and do something loud and bluesy, so heres hoping. Quote
chris_b Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 A current Mayer favourite of mine is this with Herbie Hancock. The wonderful Willie Weeks on bass. I've managed to get this on to the To Do list for one of my bands. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ldO3PJ5IA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ldO3PJ5IA[/url] Quote

[/quote] And some great playing in this too, although the balance and mix is all wrong with acoustic and bass and nothing else IMO... http://youtu.be/MnJ-cXfUves I agree that the earlier albums were great but Try! is really good. The LoFi Masters version of Love Soon has some nice playing on it too :-) http://youtu.be/Lth0TL5fOgg Edited January 12, 2016 by skej21 Quote
