Any John Mayer fans in the house?

bluebastardo · July 5, 2010

I used to play guitar a lot, and played pretty much most styles on and off, until one day I just stopped playing out of the blue.

Lately I've started to listen to the music of John Mayer, who seems to mix wonderful blues playing with clever song writing for the general pop lovers too.

I had lots of heroes on the guitar, but this lad seems to have a little piece of all of them all thrown together, and is a truly onderful singer and performer.

I've been wanting to play again since finding this guy, so if I think he's that good, then maybe you might too, so it's worth sharing.

I bought 4 albums earlier, and can't wait for them to arrive.

There are hundreds of tunes on Youtube, but here are a few to wet your taste buds:

Nice music, but he is a git.

Never heard of him.

Why do you have that opinion? Rumours, or do you know him?

He used to be with Aniston, that's what I thought he was a git =)

Not my favourite artist ever, but to be fair, this is a track

I've seen some proper tools make great music to be fair mate. His private life for me is just that, and I'm really only interested in his music. Some people didn't like Jackson, but that didn't mean he wasn't a genius, not that I want anyone to talk about Jackson. The same could be said of Ike Turner etc etc.
At the end of the day, Anniston is a spoilt overpaid chic that probably has a huge attitude behind the scenes just like any other bird, so not sure why any break up should be all Mayers fault.

Never have warmed to his playing/music for one reason or another.

According to the link below, Anniston broke up because he wasn't calling her or texting her as much as she wanted, and he was spending too much time on Twitter. He replied with 'Ok, sorry it hasn't worked out'. Hardly a wife beating git I was expecting lads. :lol:
