John Mayer - Daughters Lighting Question

Looks like a simple 90° key light (or 80°, whatever). I can't spot another light source, the right half of his face is completely black.
 
His eyes tell the tale. No light in them at all. Single key from talent right. Looks like a large source too. Nice quality to it.
 
I'm looking at several clues.

1. The nice soft edge to the shadow
2. The way the light is bouncing off his face, hair, shoulder, and guitar.
3. The way the light wraps as he turns into it.
 
Probably just a video plus pro....A Chimera Medium sized bank is my best guess. I can't imagine the light source being any bigger than that.
 
Pretty hard to say exactly what it is. But I wouldnt say Chimera. Id say a low wattage - hard light source, something like a Dedolight, maybe with some ND and definitely cutters used.
