guitar playing is not a competition.

I'm liking joe more and more but steve winwood's version is much better

Move over everyone, This Man is a Legend !!!!

if i may... i disagree with you completely... first of all i think Jb is just awesome but his style is different from Jm´s, Jb's is more of a rock player while, in my opinion, Jm´s is more blues, listening to him reminds me of stevie ray vaughan a lot.... it is difficult for me to compare Jb to other players... still both give me eargasms when i listen to them
but as to joe smoking mayer?? i dont think so... and im a big fan of both

@palmster56 You can compare guitarists if you want to. Why can't you compare guitarists? Any two things can be compared, even subjectively - with some level of reason. I don't even like Bonamassa that much.

@rexasul Don't assume that just because Joe made music for his fans that John didn't do that too. Just because John started at a pop musician doesn't make him any different than Joe, he didn't make the pop records for money. That music speaks to people just like Joe's work speaks to you. So don't go throwing bullshit remarks about any of John's work. That said, they are too immense guitarists, you can't compare guitarists. Just like you can't compare artists, or any creative individual.

From a technical aspect, it is what it is. The reality is "What am I trying to say with what I'm playing?" Everyone of us has a mouth but we express ourselves differently and not always in the same language. One might say, "This one smokes that one" and all that though it really just comes down to self-expression. Joe Bonamossa found he could do it with the Blues. Eddie Van Halen does it in the rock venue. I'm not Marcus Miller and I don't try to be.

@onlyafterdarkness Scott Henderson is the master of tasteful guitar playing. Listen to "Ashes".

Joe smokes Meyer......
Check out Stevie Vai....... Joe Satriani and many others ...It's all about taste.......
The world is full of great guitarists ...to many to mention here ...
I love them all !!! But I truly admire the dudes who can shred the "acoustic"
@surfer1211 Saying "John Mayer is the best" implies that "subjectivity is objective", which objectively speaking is; fucking retarded at best. "John Mayer is a proficient blues guitarist" would be closer to the truth. With all that said and done, I find Bonamassa's playing far more spiritually fulfilling than Mayers'. There is a real sense of "I didn't have to write a bunch of cheesy pop albums for money" about him.

All these guitar players are great. Why can't everybody stop arguing who is best and just ENJOY the MUSIC.
