[quote="all_thumbs09"]For years now I've heard reference to John Mayer being something of a guitar protege, but had personally associated him the the pop fluff that gets the most air time. I just didnt see it.

Most of my commentary on him in these pages have focused on just that. He was wise enough to understand that blues was too narrow a focus, but that's where is chops are. He plays little or nothing on his pop stuff.

john mayer seems like a good person from the tv interviews i have seen him in , every time i have heard him i always thought he sounded good , i would rather hear a jimi hendrix recording than some one trying to cover his songs though .

Yes, unfortunately I needed to share my pain.
There was also a picture of him in this little sailor suit with virtually hot pants but I could not get it to link. He looked like the love child of Gopher and the cruise director chick in the Love Boat....

Personally I think he's way overhyped as a guitarist and to be honest, he's becoming more famous for who he's dating rather than his musicial ability.

I agree about the dating part. I understand that everyone has their own opinions, but... why do so many people dislike John Mayer? Is it because of his attitude?
