John Mayer B.B. King Style Lick

http://www.steviesnacks.com - Someone recommended a video to me, in which John Mayer talks about the tonal differences between playing licks at different spots on the fretboard. In that video, he playes a lick at about 30 seconds in that is very cool. Since his video wasn't about teaching the lick, rather teaching about tonal differences, I decided to teach a lesson on that lick. So for you John Mayer fans, this lesson is for you.

Thanks for keeping the discussion civil. Now, if you want to learn this lick, keep watching. If you want to argue about John Mayer and whether or not he's any good, take your arguments to one of the many forums. They'd be glad to have you. Do not discuss it here. This is a guitar lesson.

Hey Anthony. I have watched many of the lessons. I know you have the Blues Jr. NOS and I just bought a new one yesterday. I love it but, there is one sort of defect on mine, I think its a defect at least. When I play a note and the low E string and hold it out, the amp starts to kinda crackle. I wanted to ask if yours does that too or if mine is defected in some way.

That doesn't sound normal. I would take it in to the store and have them check if the tubes are seated properly and that the speaker is connected solidly.

@dreamquarter i dont think so it looks more like a fender jaguar and because of the single coil pickups, both of them are muchos awesome guitars though! =D
