john mayer modeled alot of what he does musically after Dave Mathews. so you kind of see similaritys in the two of them.

Sorry fans but I don't particularly like either one of them. Just my opinion and I know it means nothing.

Hello Doc,

That John Mayer is a pretty decent young man.
He actually played for a local High school Senior Prom
about 3 years back{Pennsbury High School}.

But those facial contorts, well my sons and myself
joke about it often.

Cheers.

I don't care for either as well but in terms of facial contortions, I think Joe Walsh has Trower beat.

I have always been aware of that modeling. It's been a 'thing' with me along with the SRV cloning. I would have preferred more individuality and originality in his performance persona. I respect 'unique'.

Ah!. I expect that we are now going to be obliged to suffer a litanny of visual guitar faces as one upsmanship ensues :? Well, that's what makes a ball game. :wink:

Don't worry, I don't know how to upload pictures and haven't the ambition to figure it out.

I was just observing how the direction of these threads often turn and run. :wink:

agreed

never understood ANY of the hype/hoopla for Dave Matthews. Talented yes, but vastly overrated.

When Mayer first broke with his acoustic singles I thought it was Dave Mathews. I would even go as far as saying he molded his early stuff directly after him. I am not a fan of Mathews so I will say I like the direction Mayer took after he made a name for himself.
