    Anyone that says John Mayer isn't a good guitarist is ignorant. He is so unbelievably underrated its ridiculous. I don't think I have seen anyone with that can match his rhythm and talent. This guy is my insparation.

      His Travis picking and rhythm are great, but his lead guitar has a lot to be desired. And for those of you who don’t know, they are different.

      So you, a fucking nobody, say his lead guitar skills leave a lot to be desired. But Claption and B.B. King didn't exactly seem to agree with you. Maybe, just maybe, the actual guitar legends are right and you are wrong.

      @Guitcad1 9 років тому +24

      UberGamezHD Yeah, uh, as one who has locked himself up for long periods of time and done nothing but bang away at one instrument or another, I have to say that is not some kind of easy road to musical ability. I've done it for years and still play like someone who has been given a very powerful but unfamiliar instrument as treatment for a degenerative nerve disorder. This guy really is talented.

    • @pawelzabicki7785
      @pawelzabicki7785 8 років тому +22

      But still, he's been doing it for years for six hours a day completely immersing himself in a process and cutting off of any distractions. Then + more hours with bands, on stage etc., thousands of hours.
      + he is smart, intelligent, with deep understanding of what he's doing
      + he has great music intelligence
      + he has a deep respect for music and he simply loves it
      + he is rather emotionally stable and very consistent person
      And all of that is contributing to his talent (and some other components :P)

      Extraordinary musicians got one thing in common: They literally spent their childhood/teenage years practicing their voice/instrument 24/7.
      All of them, there are no exceptions.

    Playing a song acoustically quickly separates the talented from the pretenders. I could listen to this version of Queen of California for hours. It's timeless.

    When do people stop judging him based on some things he did back in 2009/2010?! 5 years have passed and some still don't see how much he changed. And yes, he made some very stupid decisions back then, I agree. But that shouldn't be an excuse for still calling him a douchebag or something. You should't judge him on these interviews and stuff. He grew up and regrets it. If you payed a little more interest in him you could have known this. Just respect him. He's a good man with a good heart.

  • @davidb5659
    @davidb5659 5 років тому +13

    Many can’t separate him from his Top-40 type music like, “Your Body is a Wonderland” (def not his best moment). He’s starting to appear on “Best Guitarist” lists - some, but but not all. There are still quite a few 100 Best Guitarist lists that omit his name. For those that don’t know his best stuff - their loss.
    I didn’t discover him until a few years ago when I started learning guitar. He’s an amazing musician, definitely one of the best working today. I think I saw someone on this board claim that his lead guitar work is weak. I think that’s silly.
    In fact, the thing that most makes him special is his ability to play so well in any genre and any style - acoustic folk, rock, blues - fingerstyle, pick, hybrid - lead, rhythm - he does it all really really well.

      How would you infer that? I'm not saying that the only good music is just solo guitar w/ vocal and nothing else. Just that I like a more stripped down, less tinkered-with sound, at least for some songs. I certainly think a lot of Mayer's songs could have benefitted from a "less-is-more" treatment.

    If you guys like John Mayer, you should check out Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" album and specifically the song, "River Man." Nick was from England and came to fame during the early 1970s.
    Unfortunately, people didn't recognize his musical genius, and he committed suicide at the age of 26. Timeless art found its way, though, and his music rose in popularity long after his death. His music was very similar to John Mayer's "Born and Raised" album.
    Let me know what you guys think. Feel free to reply with other artists or songs that are worth checking out. Like this comment so everyone can see. Thanks!

      You're absolutely right, about John Mayer and about Nick Drake. A young guy named Josh Turner does a Nick Drake song that is awesome. His channel is called Josh Turner Guitar, not to be confused with the country singer with the same name. I promise you will love his version of Nick Drake songs.

  • @Guitcad1
    @Guitcad1 9 років тому +3

    Question for guitarists: Okay, so he appears to be in standard tuning and has his capo on the fourth fret. He's holding that one bass note on the sixth string, _seventh_ fret with his _thumb_, which turns out to require this unbelievably agonizing (for me at least) hand contortion that I can manage to hold for all of maybe thirty seconds before my thumb starts screaming.
    What I would like to know is, does this song have any notes lower than that B? Could I get away with raising the sixth string 1½ steps and just playing it open (with the capo, of course)?
    And if you're some hot-shit guitar snob who's inclined to wax all condescending over my obvious ignorance, here is my ass.
    ( | ) The line starts back there. [points in the distance] You my want some Chapstick.

    • @stewrules
      @stewrules 9 років тому +1

      +Guitcad1 For the most part you could play that string open if you tune it as you describe, however towards the end of the song John places his thumb two tones down to the fifth fret.

      @Guitcad1 9 років тому

    • @KC97220
      @KC97220 9 років тому +1

      +Guitcad1 Use your third finger. The only thing is that you will need it to hit the other notes, instead of having it ring throughout the way it would with your thumb.

    • @nickb3250
      @nickb3250 9 років тому +1

      +Guitcad1 That'd work for this song, since he doesn't do too much else on the 6th string - you could make it work. However, fretting the 6th string while playing the open C formation has a lot of benefit, and it's incredibly common in ragtime, bluegrass, country, blues, etc. Reason being, is that it's the 5th, and nothing complements the tonic more, especially for travis picking. Then you can get into clever ascending bass stuff like C/G -> D/F# - F, where your thumb just rides the down.
