He's painfully mediocre. There is no buzz...

I've been a gigging musician (guitarist/vox mainly) for over 20 years, and when John Mayer first broke out I thought he was really freaking lame. Then I actually listened to the Room For Squares album on a long drive, and I was actually blown away by the sheer musicality. In fact, my playing on a technical level really improved when I sat down to learn the song "Neon". That song challenged me in a new way back then, and man, when I finally nailed it I was so freaking proud of myself. John isn't just some lame pop artist. He's a true talent.

I bought the cd when it came out and “Neon” is my favorite on it. I was already a Grateful Dead fan back then too so it was awesome seeing him join Dead & Co years later. I remember a lot of GD fans were initially pissed when they heard Mayer was part of it. I was pretty jazzed because I knew he was skilled enough to handle it. He killed it!

In Dallas the band broke off into a jazz style breakdown and just played for 10 minutes. What really impressed me though is how John Mayer started playing rhythm and let some of the other guitar players have their moment. It was a hell of a concert

The thing with Mayer is he is probably one of the best examples of a post modern rock guitarist. He grew up during the singer/songwriter age. He grew up hearing the best guitarists that have ever lived and he grew up during the beginning of the MTV age. This gave him the ability to perfect catching poetic songs that are signature pop sounds with a mastery of vocal harmonies and of course blues with world class guitar licks. He’s a triple threat that few can match. Some can do one or two, but few can accomplish all three.

So happy you have finally discussed John Mayer. Was listening to him all day yesterday. Listen and you will find many of Johns songs have emotional depth: Clarity, New Deep, Daughters, (Heavier Things), Belief, Gravity, Heart of Life, Vultures (Continuum), Shouldnt Matter But it Does, Wild Blue, I Guess I Just Feel Like (Sob Rock). Sob Rock is one of his best yet.

Thank you for this! I love hearing other musicians talking about how incredible John is ❤ Sarah

I love your technical takes on his singing, playing and the equipment behind it. That Juno! Sounded a little like a DX7 playing as well. Thanks for your work on this channel Justin, it always makes me smile!

Nice to see you covering John. I started in the rock n roll/metal world as a teenager and while I still love the music, I got bored playing it. I put the guitar down for almost a decade. Then I heard John and it sent me down a blues/soul rabbit hole and have been playing almost daily for 7 years since.

Oh Justin the harmony at 12:07…so good! 🙌🏻🥰 I love your videos and agree that John Mayer is an unrivalled talent. So good and stands on his own 💪🏻☺️🙌🏻🎸

This is the link to my Patreon I mentioned very briefly in the video, you're most welcome to join and become one of my beloved patrons. We do a lot together on there and it includes access to my private Discord server. It's brilliant in there: www.patreon.com/jushawk

Been waiting a long time to hear you talk about John. I gotta say you were a huge reason why I started playing guitar at 14 after hearing I Believe In A Thing Called Love, but when I discovered John at 19, it opened a whole new world for me as far as guitar playing goes. I just couldn’t resist and bought a nice Strat shortly after. He’s so gifted and versatile with his playing, a true master of the instrument.

Got a feeling this particular video could go viral. Justin’s hit all the right notes , if you will, with the breakdown of this video. A bit like Mr Mayer , this video has a little bit of everything but is hitting that everything just rightly. Funny bastard, ridiculous yet palatable analogies, interesting and kindly informative with a slanty KZread award in the background. Go on , Son. Thanks for the daily good times.

Another great video, Justin! I absolutely love John Mayer. There is a track on the same record this song is on called Wild Blue. Total Mark Knopfler Dire Straits vibes. The album is called Sob Rock. Also love John's goofy sense of humor. Cheers!

Love your harmony bit with JM! Okay, I love your voice no matter what you’re singing. ❤

I was never in to John Mayer mostly I think because he was a huge pop star when I was growing up and I listened to nothing but Led Zeppelin, My wife and I went to his concert in 2019 because we could and they blew us away. Been a fan since.

The Darkness and John Mayer are without a doubt my two favourite sources of musical delights. Though very different in what they produce, the musicality, melody and performance standards are in my opinion, some of the best out there! I can’t get enough of either of them! Hearing Justin speak so fondly of John Mayer is also music to my ears…would love to hear John’s thoughts on The Darkness, I’m sure he’d appreciate them too! How amazing would a collaboration be?! Make this happen Justin!!! Lots of love and a Merry Christmas to you sir! X

Super interesting analysis of the Strat type guitar v Les Pauls. Strat gal here, just learning to play then I will worry about tone more later maybe. I didn't appreciate John Mayer much until I began playing guitar again and watched many other youtube guitarists praise him. Grateful to you for sharing your insights. You are giving a great gift to us all. Speaking of gifts, this year I am celebrating the one year anniversary of the Cameo you made for me as a gift from my brother last year. I loved it so much. We have a tradition of exchanging gifts related to The Darkness going back over a decade. I bought him the Pinewood Smile CD this year : ) Sending u much love.

Wow the take on different types of guitars and what it may mean to play them was beautiful. Completely agree that 'the fight' with an instrument (or any art form for that matter) is, for me, what makes it the most fun.

I appreciate your mentioning the early steps in a musician’s life - that “his father RENTED an acoustic guitar” - kids don’t always know about such options.

I always thought I loved music, but you make me understand why. That being said, thanks your for the music and Permission to Land got me through some things while studying abroad in Atlanta (yes, in the Americas like Austin). Love the channel, keep on keeping on.

Hasn't he got a beautiful sound? Real "Late Sunday Night In The Dark Music". I also include Mazzy Star and All About Eve in this classification. For anyone wondering what the heck I'm on about, imagine you're in your front room. You're on your own in the house, you're laying on the settee with a couple of candles on and it's a lovely, warm atmosphere.

You lay with your eyes closed, nice and relaxed but not falling asleep. Try it this weekend and see how it makes you feel. I think you'll like it.

Finally. Been waiting for a Mayer video. Please do more. His Americana album is quality. And his drummer Sterloid is the man

Even if you don’t like his solo stuff, it’s pretty hard to deny his immeasurable talent. Saw him recently with Dead and Co. He blew the doors off the place with his guitar work.

Love a guy who can pick stuff up by ear that quick, super entertaining as well! Keep it up sir!

I watched an acoustic set of his recently. His guitar playing is masterful.

I couldn’t love your channel more, JDH! So entertaining AND educational. So cathartic an escape from all the 💩 in the world. You’ve motivated me to resume guitar lessons (after 40 years’ abstinence) and enrol in a music theory course. Love your work! ❤

There's little microtonal things in his bends that make him recognisable even when he's playing 'typical' blues licks. He's a very good musician, even though I'd never have expected to like him as much as I eventually came to, when I first heard his early stuff.

THANK YOU sir Justin for riding again From AZ

I have always been a huge fan of John Mayer. I always return to his live performances of “Neon”, “Free Fallin” and “Message in a Bottle”.

Glad to hear your props for John. I could see you two really getting along.

Very interesting musings about JM's approach and his instrument being a scalpel... He's always talked in length about his touch through his fingertips to the speaker of his guitar cabinets. Really awesome to hear him talk about what he likes about Dumble amps, he is as you allude to, an incredibly 'touch sensitive' guitarist who is able to react and respond to incredibly detailed nuance in his equipment and derive inspiration from a point of precision, as opposed to a dimed LP going into a plexi amp as most of us do!

I really liked hearing Justin talking to us about guitar playing and gear. As a guitar player myself, it just feels so good to connect to Justin on this topic cos he doesn’t talk about it much in other content.

how subtly you said "those are words to live by" at 13:05 after he sang "if you don't want to love me, let me go" was so unbelievably powerful to me haha. you're a very... mysteriously intellectual character.

As a guitarist and guitar enthusiast I always want Mayer to take it further with his playing on records BUT my respect for the songwriting and his remarkable ability for keeping an audience wanting more for essentially his entire career is kind of unrivaled. There is something to be said about always keeping that card up your sleeve. Also big props on the musicians he hires, from Zane to Isaiah to David Harris… he never shies from spotlighting and lifting remarkable players who dont have the reach he does.

Thank you Justin. As a lead guitarist, I found your analysis of Mayer's playing to be one of the most interesting videos of yours that I have seen to date. Respect to you both!

I too came late to Mayer. I was first aware of him based on You Body Is A Wonderland era and thought him nothing more than a pop singer songwriter. Then I heard some tracks from his Heavier Things album and started to get interested but wasn't knocked out impressed. Then I heard the Trio live album with him and Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan and I was floored! He wasn't a guitar SRV worshiping poseur but a serious studied guitar player! Been a fan since and love how he can take a simple pop song and inject some blues and soul into it.

I love how Dr Hawkins makes a mockery of guitar playing. He just makes it look so easy to grab the acoustic and replicate whatever is being played. Just brilliant!

The phrasing/vibrato and other subtleties are similarly down to his experience. Personally I see my fingers on the fretboard when I hear such lines. It’s all practice, ear training, time in rehearsals and on gigs. I have friends who come round who never heard me and they put any music on and can’t understand how I play along within seconds. Even if I haven’t heard it. It’s practice and experience. Again, nothing taken away from Justin here ;).

No shred needed. A Face To Call Home, simple lead guitar after the buildup which just elevates it. Love nothing more than a songwriter similar to the Beatles who adds all the necessary parts to fit the songs and nothing more. Walt Grace's Submarine Test has made me weep numerous times.

Nice! Gotta love a bit of love for John Mayer. G’day from Australia Justin.

Check out the where the light is live album. Some mind blowing guitar moments in that show.

The PRS Silver Sky is based on a 63 Fender Strat Mayer owned. If you ever get to play one you'll realise it's a bit of a beast to handle, but in a good way. The neck is very thick, and is has an old school Fender radius. Sounds fabulous, but you really need to fight for the tone.

I love listening to you talk about the subtleties of guitar playing and sonic differences in makes, models and pick ups etc...even though it makes me realise, despite having played guitar for 30 years, I actually know next to NOTHING. Ask me most any question about guitar and you will likely get a blank look or a pattering of waffle. Cheers for your insights Justin.

As a person who live and breathes music myself, your absolute passion for it is intoxicating. You really give a lot of respect, while also showing excitement to other artists. Extremely commendable.

There's a great mini documentary video on KZread of him writing and recording the song 'In Repair' in one day. It's incredible.

I feel it's hard to really put Mayer's songwriting in a box. He's done folkish, country inspired, and most recently 80's pop inspired albums. I don't know if anyone could reliably predict what his next album would sound like.

COMMENTS DAY: Hi, Justin! Now that you've covered John Mayer, and since he is currently with Dead & Company; this is a good springboard to talk about the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia's guitar playing. John Mayer said he was listening to Pandora and "Althea" from the Dead's album "Go to Heaven" came on. After that, all he would listen to was the Grateful Dead. Would love to see a video on the Dead (particularly live as they were at their best live). Thanks for all the videos. Nice one!

What I really appreciate about him is that he refuses to stay in a box. He lets his music, his style, even his gear evolve, and it took him all the way from the cheesy acoustic pop rock of Your Body Is A Wonderland to a blues-infused 80s inspired upbeat Last Train Home.
