    I definitely feel like John Mayer is the kind of guitar player where even if you aren't really into his music (like me), you can definitely find one or two songs that really stick with you, especially if you're a guitar player.

      i really dislike john mayers "music" he releases. its terrible (i think) but you are absolutely correct, as a guitarist i love him for his playing ability. the john mayer trio stuff i dont mind, but i would enjoy a album more where john focussed on playing guitar and someone else say

      Y’all are trippin, his music is incredible. Lot of it is sad but the theory and meaning behind it is beyond what 99% of modern artists can accomplish. Definitely take a second look into his discography, cause I thought the same thing y’all did at one point

      @@poorrich3601 i was a budding guitar player in 2001 when i heard no such thing i like the chord voicings before i knew about voicings then i started leaning his songs and learned about chords more....then i realized he could also play blues like SRV and i had already been an SRV fan since i was a little kid so it all clicked.

    It would be a dream come true to own a modern eagle v. I feel very fortunate that I was able to be given a squier (decent quality) as a gift and that I was able to buy a used custom SE 24 Floyd. The modern eagle would be the only guitar I’d ever need, unfortunately I guess I’ll have to accept the fact that I’ll never be able to afford one 😅.

    The 7th shape with 1, 7, 3 and the damped A string is Freddy Green’s standard shape. This is from the ‘40s. The chord sequence is the 1, the 4, then a 2/5/1 with the 2 being a dom 7th, the 5 being played as the flat 2 (a tritone sub) and the G is a passing the 1! Or yiu could think of it as a 9th variant of the 1.
    So it’s basically a jazz blues. Played with lots of cool clever riffs over it.

    Now, everyone can play it their own way, with their own personality and unique expression and take, and that is fine and great… but it is a cop out when someone who does not do the riff justice laments that “there is no right way to do it”.
    Do it your way, and own it… and stop qualifying your playing.
