This music is what draws those who do not know Jesus yet. If you can play it then use it to share the good news.
Lincoln is pushing the boundaries of the Christian guitar player and as a worship guitar player I like that a lot. Let's use this music to "go and make" new disciples!
I would prefer Lincoln cuz he worships God, and that's it. I like John Mayer, but he doesn't give me God's glory through his guitar. Lincoln does. God bless!
i actually do see gods glory in john mayers playing, i see it in all of my favorite musicians. its just a shame these non-christian musicians are unable to realize it.
its god that gave them this gift, they just dont realize it.
I see where he is coming from. God gave them those talents, and they are putting them to use. I'm sure god is happy just to see that they are doing something with that talent, even though it's not christian music.
If you don't think John Mayer is good at guitar...you obviously haven't listened to any of Where the Light is...he can just about play any style of guitar and shred like no other as well, (check out the solo on wait till tomorrow). Lincoln and John are definitely on the same level in my humble opinion.

I would prefer John Mayer's voice over Lincolns. However I do like Lincolns tone over Johns. I love the slightly flawless staccato picking Lincoln often incorporates when he plays quickly.
To end this debate... John would totally kick Lincolns ass.... physically of course.. Johns a freakin beast, 6,3 holds the neck of a guitar like a fly swatter.
I have a hard copy of the new CD and I couldn't find it, but not calling you a liar. It may have been somewhere I didn't see. The fact that it's there doesn't matter as to which is a better musician. "Inspiration for arrangements" refers to the mix, instruments, etc... I could see your point if Lincoln wrote that the songs themselves were inspired by Continuum, but to my knowledge that's not what he's saying...
you can argue the semantics of "arrangements", but as someone who knows John's music inside and out, i am absolutely certain that songs on "Today is the Day" were directly influenced by John. "This Love" nods to "Waiting on the World to Change", "The Arms of My Savior" to "Gravity", etc.
and i did not even imply that one of them was better than the other. you were the one who made that mistake. music is subjective, and it's foolish to compare musicians. i'm saying Lincoln is a fan of Mayer.
Now those two comparisons I would agree with. I also do agree that music is subjective, witness the varying genres... However, I still maintain my point that Lincoln is a better musician, even if John Mayer has sold ten million more CD's. I should probably retract my original(if 2 months ago) comment, because I think it may have come across too harshly. My original comment regarding JM was that I don't particularly enjoy his style of music, "Your Body is a Wonderland" namely. Point conceded.
i can respect retracting your comment. you have to understand though, dismissing Mayer's talent because of "Wonderland" is just such a huge misconception that it's tiring to read a comment saying that even in this stage of his career, after the release of Continuum. when a guy earns the respect of legends like Clapton, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Double Trouble, Scofield, and Rene Martinez, i think it's time to give the whole "wonderland" thing a rest.
This is kind of why I retracted it. I still don't particularly like Mayer, because when I think of him, I think of "Wonderland," which is what I was trying to say in my original comment. It didn't go over too well. However, I never denied that he has talent, which he no doubt does possess.
oh, come on.. i understand you took it back, but now you're just being coy and only retracting comments because i brought facts to the table.
you were obviously trying to push a bit more than just your personal opinion of his music. whether or not you outright "denied" his talent, you were certainly belittling it.
"it's way past what John Mayer could dream about though."
i'm sure Lincoln would laugh at that comment. you made it clear that you didn't know much at all about Mayer's music.
no, because conceding a point while being coy about your intentions isn't conceding at all, but a cop out.
you were essentially saying that you were not wrong, but that your point came across wrong, that you weren't trying to deny talent, when it was pretty clear what you were saying. there's no need to try to justify being wrong. it was just an uninformed exaggeration, and we can leave it at that.
You forgot "The power of your name" to "belief" and yea, I've been saying this every time i hear his album... hes very influenced by John Mayer. I do believe Lincolns pretty damn great with his tone and speed. I mean... Pulls off some great pentatonic; Eric Johnson style licks many times.
I also thought his last track, Let your Glory Shine, was a bit yngwie... a bit melodic minor influenced... I dunno just me perhaps.
haha, i actually originally was going to mention "The Power of Your Name" in my comment, but i cut down to two songs because of the 500 character limit. yeah, he's without a doubt a Mayer fan. i remember reading that his favorite guitarists of this generation were Keith Urban and Mayer.. and you can definitely hear the similarities between him and Keith as well. his legato is almost identical.
Thank you, you have greatly enlightened me. I listened to some of John Mayers music just a little while ago and realized that much of what I played was directly inspired by him. The amazing thing is I had never heard him before and didn't even know who he was!
This groove is made into a song with a Gospel band on Lincoln's new CD. I heard a clip of it when he did a concert I put on. Was very cool. He actually played it from his iPhone over the PA. People were digging it. Cannot wait for the CD!
And Stevie Ray Vaughn was better than John Mayer and Derek Trucks IS better than Mayer. Who cares?? It's all about personal taste. If there were no SRV there more than likely would be no Mayer.
Lincoln Brewster and Fender tone. So sweet.
God bless him!

All I ever remember John Mayer for is "your body is a wonderland," a pop failure. Lincoln Brewster forever.
AgentSmith16 3 years ago
number one: a pop song winning a grammy is hardly a "failure"
number two: "your body is a wonderland" is a very, very tiny aspect of Mayer's music and is not representative of everything he does
number three, and most importantly: Lincoln listed John Mayer's album, Continuum, as an inspiration for his arrangements on his new album.
all this adds up to you being an incredibly uninformed individual.
