Dude absolutely rips. He's so good and I feel like the best part is that he plays like he doesn't even realize how good he is. Gary Clark Jr and Kingfish are up there but I don't think either have the chops nor play anything nearly as advanced as Mayer does. Been learning some John Mayer songs on guitar and it's a real challenge.

I hated him until he made ironic music videos.

I think his recorded music doesn't do him justice. It's very safe but when you put those songs in a live environment they become a totally different beast. His Live in LA album is insane. His voice is also more palatable in his live performances for some reason. Less controlled and more gritty.

Jack White is my personal favorite

wait, his show in Columbus by chance? Nah Vegas at Mandalay Bay. Got upgraded seats that night so we were super close too. Didn't play Gravity tho smh. wesastro911 posted... Jack White is my personal favorite Great choices. I love Jack White as an overall musician and he pretty much inspired most of my current favorite musicians to even start playing. Dude is a musical genius. Henry Garza absolutely shreds. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes but he's also extremely late to the party
Like Eric Clapton was doing this shit back in the 90s and it was already outdated then Eric Clapton started doing this shit in the 60s and even then people were like "bro youre just copying black blind street musicians" Imo --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...

Clapton himself has said that Mayer is a master guitar player tho. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

On a music theory level his playing is more like hendrix but in terms of importance/innovation he's more like Clapton, I think. He just refines an existing style and shapes it into something modern audiences will find good to listen to. A better comparison might be SRV. I realise I sound a bit like a music snob or whatever but I think its alright to acknowledge that mayer is a gifted guitar player and serious bluesman while also noting that he hasn't really...done anything new with it --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...
