  • Here’s a loop cover of one of my absolute favorite Mayer tunes. Enjoy!
    If you’re interested in my original music I have two albums out on all the major stores and streaming platforms. It’s all under my full name so it’s easy to find!
    Occasionally I post videos on Instagram. You can find me there @seananguswatson

      Mayer himself said in one of his interviews about playing the guitar is that you can rip off his music in any way you like. As long as you have a good understanding about the guitar, go have fun with it or do it better than he did.

      thats only partially true tho, if its the way he sounds in all his covers, then it could be his setup, because hes doing it all the time. Yes everyone has a slightly different tone, but the guitar is like a piano, and unlike a horn. it sounds pretty much the same no matter who is playing it, if you're doing it the same way. It's not like a horn where everyone sounds very different, even on the same horn.
