    Today did not suck! Got a chance to sit with @johnmayer and @sharkey335 at rehearsal. Incredibly genuine dudes and outlandishly musical players ( how killing is John on the 8 string?!😵) Looks like the Pathos and “Space Tele” will be in the hands of @sharkey335 from now on and we’re starting an art series build for John ASAP. Totally surreal 😩🤟🏿

      Bass Player: time to drop tune that mofo.
      I got my two electric basses tuned to DGCF and DGCFA#. My acoustic is at EADG, but buying a nice Jackson with actives and i’m gonna keep that at BEADG. I have one guitar, a 6 string and I keep that at d standard, but I think im considering on buying a 7 after playing my buddy’s guitar, any 7 string recommendations?

      It isn't. He is using the Companion Psychedelic Machine, basically a Companion/Univox/Honey Super Fuzz. In it's first iteration it was like a head unit, not a pedal, so he had it on his rack. If you want to get more into it you can watch the "The secret behind the 'I Guess I Just Feel Like' Solo Tone!" from John Mayer Gear here on UA-cam!

      @@nave94 In all seriousness though, I think he's hitting a note, bending it, then keeping it held, tapping a note onto the still bent string before pulling off the tapped note and releasing the bend. All in rapid succession. Something along those lines, I think there's a video of him explaining that very sequence, but of course knowing what he's doing isn't the same thing as being able to repeat it. Lots of finesse in that little sequence of notes.

      John and Tosin play two entirely different styles of music. There’s really no reasonable comparison between them, other than the 8 string that’s being played in this video haha. They each excel in different aspects of playing. They’re both high skilled enough players to perhaps even train themselves to be as good as each other in both fields of music. But which one of them really wants that. They each choose to play what they love and feel. At the end of the day, that’s what really good guitar playing is all about. It’s not about being the best player in every style. It’s about passion for what you do, authentic expression and being congruent to your being.
