It comes with a vid to teach you the proper facial expressions. The man is a blues LEGEND (barf).

I was just watching the Crossroads DVD the other day and it looked like Mayer's strat was a SRV Signature model with a changed pickguard. I know I saw some kind of signature on the headstock.

Kind of funny to make a signature guitar based on a...signature guitar.

WHOOPIDDYDOO!!! Another Strat that sucks as hard as every other strat!! hehe :D

Wow! Yet ANOTHER place for John Mayer to pop up where he doesn't belong. Hope it does better than his 1 episode TV show :D

Does it bother anyone else when Mayer is included in VH-1 interviews and Grammy/Awards presentations where all the other celebs are twice his age? He always seems the orange in the crate of apples.

Does his father own the label he's on? What's the deal? The amount of promo he's given makes me suspicious.

If he's on a Sony label, it would all make sense. Saw a news article online yesterday that NY Atty Gen Elliot Spitzer is looking into Sony for payola stuff and they pointed to JLo and Good Charlotte among some of the artists that they paid to get spins for by showering djs and programmers with Sony product and vacations.

WHAT?????

Jlo isn't THAT GOOD A SINGER that she gets played on her merits?

Good Lord. The madness continues.

Honestly, I haven't heard Mayer play anything that at least half a dozen of the players on this board could do better. Not me, but certainly HHBill, MC Chris, Greggles, Paults, the George/Jeff guy from the last HFC, and others.

I see that Musician's friend is offering an autographed pickguard with the purchase of a new JM Strat. My heart is all afflutter! I wonder how many times John had to practice his autograph to achieve just the right balance of angst and sensitivty.

Did anyone here catch the episode of Austin City Limits with John Mayer? If you did, then you know that John can, in fact, play the Blues. The only reason he plays the sugary pop stuff is because he decided that he wanted to make a living playing music and actually get PAID. I may not be a fan of his chosen style of music, but I cannot deny his skills as a player.

Perhaps John CAN play the blues. It just seems that it's difficult for people to take him seriously within the context of the music that he has chosen to market himself with. The leap from fluffy, sugary, smoochy cutsie pie lyrics to "I got the blues y'all "is too far for alot of people. Reminds me of "Kid" Johnny Lang when he was 12 (or so)years old singing the old blues standards like he'd been to hell and back in love with a woman.

Nice singin there kid, but.... Oh well, maybe it's only music and nothing more.

Speaking of artist signatures...one of the oddball things I have in my pile of artifacts is an Izzy Stradlin guitar pick from his JuJu Hounds gig that D'Andrea picks gave me (I used to design their ads.) Apparently, they had to make 10,000 signed pics for Izzy overnight and rush-ship them to Japan in the middle of a tour....but just as they were about to ship them, the tour manager called to say that they HAD to redo them because Izzy was so fked up that he'd MISSPELLED his own name when he'd signed it!! I've got one of the misspelled ones that they had to destroy...a great example of RnR excess :D

J. Mayer really .....I just can't get into his music. But yeah, that ACLimits thing on TV....the blues he did on his cookie-cutter was excellent! But why, oh why does everybody get a signature-series Strat ? ? ? I just would not give a dime for a guitar with somebody elses name on it. I don't much care for the Steve Stevens guitars, even though they're Hamers....I really hope Hamer won't do that again.
