SRV knows how to do power guitar, and has done some of the best solos of him lifetime, but i can personally say that Mayer has been the best guitarist and bringing emotion out of the audience. goosebumps, tears and euphoria.
oh man... i goosebumps at around the 5min mark. i was doing work but i just had to stop as the solo just overcame me. man this guy is a genius with a guitar.
I was at this show and there aren't many artist if any who are as personal and intimate as he is and jimi and stevie maybe better guitarist but there lyrics did stick in your head for what they meant the guitar play was great but it wasnt inspiration and awe inspiring he picks the perfect notes to fit the grand emotion of his songs those guys were great and probably better but as the total package he has more
Yea some people say hes not good cause he can't play fast. Well yea, he can, and he has shown it in the past. he said that in a lot of his songs now (compared to his older songs) he just plays slower to leave more room for "emotion" or something like that. I think. But yea he is really good. He went to Berkeley.
Alright. John Mayer IS a very good guitarist, which most people don't give him enough credit for. But going as far to say hands down over SRV,Hendrix, and Clapton...that makes me wanna cry, because that means you haven't listened to enough of above said? Not a chance..mayer learned his shit from these guys. And coming from a "guitarist" perspective...you should know better!
Ol' Benny's right. And as a huge fan of Mayer, i probably wouldn't connect nearly as well to his sound and emotion if not for his studies of his idols and mine own.
Stevie Ray Vaughan I recommend searching for him so when people think Mayer is the best guitarist or say there better than SRV, Mayer even knows he's not.
John Mayer is the best guitarist that this country has ever seen hands down...and thats coming from a guitarist's perspective. beats clapton, SRV, Hendrix.....beats everyone.
On pure musicianship you guys have no idea how good he is your body is a wonderland is more complex that any song clapton hendrix or vaughan ever wrote and thats probably not even his most complex im not sayin hes better than them but if ur looking at an artist he has it all great lyrics complex songs and some really damn good solos the greats think hes good so im sure all of u who hate just hate cuz he isnt some grudge guy or 60 years old so u think he's not good enough cuz ur dumbasses
he is good but he def isnt the best we have had.. thats shooting for the moon lol hes very talented and over time he may just start getting better and better.. but right now he isnt the best we have ever seen
he is one of the greatest guitar players ever, if he were alive and playing in the 60's and 70's no one would ever question him, but since he made some songs like "your body is a wonderland" and others he gets blasted, he is one of the best if not the best musician we have ever heard.
amen brother! that's exactly how i feel. if people actually listen to the chords in some of his "wussy" songs people would realize the complex songwriting involved in some of his earlier hits. not to mention his solos really are revolutionary.
