    I definitely feel like John Mayer is the kind of guitar player where even if you aren't really into his music (like me), you can definitely find one or two songs that really stick with you, especially if you're a guitar player.

    i really dislike john mayers "music" he releases. its terrible (i think) but you are absolutely correct, as a guitarist i love him for his playing ability. the john mayer trio stuff i dont mind, but i would enjoy a album more where john focussed on playing guitar and someone else say

    @@poorrich3601 i was a budding guitar player in 2001 when i heard no such thing i like the chord voicings before i knew about voicings then i started leaning his songs and learned about chords more....then i realized he could also play blues like SRV and i had already been an SRV fan since i was a little kid so it all clicked.

    The 7th shape with 1, 7, 3 and the damped A string is Freddy Green’s standard shape. This is from the ‘40s. The chord sequence is the 1, the 4, then a 2/5/1 with the 2 being a dom 7th, the 5 being played as the flat 2 (a tritone sub) and the G is a passing the 1! Or yiu could think of it as a 9th variant of the 1. So it’s basically a jazz blues. Played with lots of cool clever riffs over it.
