I love the sound of that L5 at 2:46...beautiful.I remember him in a Guitar Player interview from '04...talking about getting an L5,but instead picking up a newer competing archtop...I'm glad he went the real way in the end!
John's blues barely sitting well on this jazz piece..he's great..pretty much mastered the acoustic and the blues..but i'd wanna see him train in jazz...
I've seen some of his live stuff where he literally just busted out a george benson sorta crazy jazz thing out of nowhere for a few minutes and went into his own stuff. When I saw him in Irvine he did a nice smooth jazzy interpretation jam of one of his own songs for about 8 minutes with his sax player and it was nice. He has definitely been shaped a bit more in jazz, but more of a mixed sort of way.
I don't mean I don't love that guitar for clean tones as jazz and bossa, but you've gotta try it with a slight distortion, it's like distorting an acoustic guitar like john butler does. The way this guitar resonates makes it amazing for getting many types of tone...
@JayTristanYo I have to respectfully disagree...the searing long sustaining tones that would come from that L5 would be fantastic...I agree in that you should overdrive, not distort
ok guys, my fault. English is not my native language, that's what I meant, to overdrive it...Anyway, you've gotta hear how its high end brakes when pushed thru a good valve amp....

Mayer and Botti are great. The sidemen on this clip are great musicians as well. On the red guitar is one of my favorite guitarists Mark Whitfield, check out his album called 'True Blue'.
