John Mayer posted a heart-felt tribute on Instagram to his good friend and collaborator Mac Miller , who died Friday from a drug overdose. Mayer shared about the two’s work together and their relationship.

“He made a quantum leap in his music,” Mayer wrote. “That’s incredibly hard to do, to evolve and get better and more focused while your career is already underway.”

He mentioned the collaboration that was set in motion after listening to Mac’s song “Small Worlds.”

“I didn’t expect to play on his album the day he played some songs for me at his house, but when I heard ‘Small Worlds,’ I gave it a short, chirpy little ‘yup,’ which is the highest praise I can give a track. It means we don’t need to say another word, it’s going down. I grabbed the nearest guitar in the room and within a couple of hours we had finished a tune that made me so incredibly happy to have a part in, not to mention we established a nice little friendship.”

Mayer said he was also present at Miller’s final performance, an intimate set for around 100 people at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles — “one of the best sets I’d seen in a very long time,” he said.
