He's a talented song writer 'if he writes his own songs', but guitarist, he's just meh, let's see him play some Petrucci or Malmsteen, not going to happen... Either way, I stand by my assertion he's an average guitarist who has a nice setup, plays easy guitar parts and gets by on his music ability to write music 'if that is him writing those songs' but the rest of him is a mess imho...
This is a place where John Mayer Fans can discuss JM's music. If it was clearly agreed upon back then between John and the boys to not.
Well that's the thing. It's all personal opinions. I would say all of these guitarists mentioned are amazing. I'm a huge Petrucci fan. All my technical abilities are thanks to me trying to learn his solos and riffs. That being said I would rather listen 3h of John Mayer playing one note than 3 minutes of Yngwie playing as many notes as he possible can (which is what he does). That's just a personal opinion once again. :lol
