Notes

Live performance at Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles, December 2007 ('Where the Light Is'). Gear confirmed by Equipboard and video/photo evidence. Pedalboard included Q-Tron+ Envelope Filter, Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer, and likely Klon Centaur for solo boost. No onboard amp reverb; Mayer uses outboard spring reverb (Victoria Reverberato).

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced dynamic control, expressive phrasing, and precise manipulation of the envelope filter effect, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
