I saw a get together with him and Paul Simon, where they played each others songs, and he is is definately an extremely talented Musician with great feel, and a really beautiful yet educated approach towards writing music.

Yeah it's a little too sweet for me, but he plays to crowds of horny hot women, so can you blame him?

If he wanted to though, he can play blues like Hendrix, and a lot of other styles. I've seen it in his noodling, and he's really really good.

If he ever does break away from the sensitive chick music schtick (but why would he if it's working so well?) , and decides to rock out, or do some heavy blues.

Watch out.

Only problem is:
If he did that, his audience would change to all dudes, and unless he's like Rob Halford, I can see why any heterosexual man would ever want that kind of change in audience.

Hell I feel like learning some sensitive music now.
I might be single again soon. :lol:

My son got me listening to JM recently... the intro to "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" is one of the cooler riffs I've heard in a while. Very tasty. And he really cuts loose on the solo on a live show I saw on Directv a couple of months ago. 8)

Some funny stuff on his blog too.

john mayer just doesnt have it. The two minute wannabe version of 'machine gun' that i saw him do sealed the deal. john, you're not srv (who I dont like anyway) and you definitely are no Hendrix (who had it like no one before or since), so be youself!

ps. stop destroying good songs like 'bold as love' while you're at it.
