John Mayer = Slow hand Jr?

Anybody here think John Mayer is a good guitarist?

LUL

i guess hes a decent guitarist, but he makes lame music

I have the Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival dvd, and he's on it. He actually is a pretty decent guitarist and I've been told he's won a few jazz "awards" but his music still fucking sucks. He should do more guitar festivals and less college rock.

He makes money doing what he's doing. You cant get mainstream cash doing jazz-guitar. No 12 year old girls listen to jazz-guitar.

I agree, his music is pretty lame, although i have heard some of his guitar stuff, and its pretty good.

Was just curious to see if any of you music freaks thought of him as a good guitarist, that cover just kind of made me say wtf.

i dont care what he does or whatever money he makes, im just saying, his guitar playing is good, his music sucks.

Has he ever done anything with Clapton thats downloadable?

...I was replying mainly to this part of your statement which also contradicts your claim that you dont care what he does.

no

...i see no contradictions? saying he should do festivals doesnt mean i care.

He's a really decent guitarist. I've listened to live albums of him just jamming, and it's good stuff.

In retrospect, he's just like the modern Clapton;
A guy with lots of playing potential, churning out shitty albums like after-dinner shits.

haha, yeah i just listened to a few things, and i will say he is defiantly a talented guitarist.

Here's the deal with John Mayer. He didn't like his early stuff. He only did it because his label knew it would make money. Then he started doing stuff as the John Mayer Trio which was a much more blues oriented style. After doing that, he realized that he wanted to do what he wanted, not what the label wanted and started playing more of the way he wanted to. Hence Continuum which is actually a pretty good album. If you've ever heard him play real blues stuff, you will recognize his talent.

id totally fuck john mayer if i could.

Frusciante maybe because all he does is just fuck around with pedals every damn album...

Mayer is a good guitar player, but his music writing is horrible I think I read some where that the album he won some award on that he didn't even write most of the music on it.

Well actually, in a conversation like this of course it fucking does, douche.

If you cared enough to post - That's CARING.

You're just being a fucking dickhead now.

his music may not be your taste but mayer is an awesome guitarist

As much as I don't like his music, yes, John Mayer is a good guitar player.

lol, and dont you have to go and taint your oaf-ish frame with more fucking hideous tattoos of random blue shit? Straight-edge faggot.

Jotun, jotun, jotun - Supreme geek of defensiveness, how cool you try to be. Posting photos with friends in womens pants, black make-up, ugly faces and crosses on hands - desperate wishes to fit into scenes - When you come to realisation your life will split at the seams, and you'll probably go gay and play for the other team.
How lovely it must be to look like your face smacked a tree, with friend in tow who looks like he must be, of parents from the same family.


lol @ your ignorance thinking pot has anything to do with depression. My father went through exactly the same thing as I did and he hasn't touched alcohol or drugs once in his entire life. Cheap shot...Here's one for you: Your mug is FUCKED up, your eyes and nose are....well...I actually feel sorry for you.

BITTER!

"Hi Im Blitz, I troll forums waiting for people to insult tripper, and then I jump on the bandwagon because I'm such a useless mess I cant make-up insults on my own."

Pathetic fucking sclass wannabe.

Jotun - I'm talking about you. I dont have the pic, but It was definitely you that posted a pic of some guy from your crappy band or someshit, and you guys were at the beach and he was clearly wearing a pair of female's jeans. Theres no denying it. The make-up thing Is just something you would do because you're homo like that.

lol @ penisburger HUGS NOT DRUGS YOURE A DICK IF YOU DO DRUGS I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT DO WHAT I DO geekface jotun.

oh yeah, george. he's normal now.

and i think you have a warped perception of me...i dont care what other people do...im in college, i'd be the biggest fucking douche in the world if i did. i go to parties, hang out with kids who drink and smoke pot. i just dont myself. what they do is their business. if people ask if i want a drink, i just tell them i dont drink. i know you already hate me, and me explaining this probably does nothing, but at least i tried.

Yeah what they do is their business, but its okay to throw in a snarky comment now and then just to remind everyone you frown on pot smoking. Thats why people at 92b dont like you. You're very judgemental and defensive, which is okay - thats fine, but the fact that you pretend you're this way cool laid back guy who is open-minded is just one big contradiction.

wow this got very off topic

I'd like to hear an album of just him jamming on a guitar with few lyrics. Some of his songs are good shit, but i just can never get into him.

it was really just an attack on anything i knew about you that i remembered, not an anti-pot comment. the kids on 92b are braindead scum (funny braindead scum), i dont care what they say.

Youre full of shit.

the fact that you associated my habitual pot-smoking with something serious and negative and totally unrelated like depression says something about the way you voice your opinion on things you're against.

didnt you have a thread about it, and most of the discussion was about stopping pot? or was that someone else? i could be confused.

i had a thread here about going through depression, and at 92b i made a few posts in another thread about giving up weed, but thats just because i wanted to save more money and because i spend heaps of time smoking weed - ive always had depression before i became a heavy pot smoker, its in my genes - its in my fathers genes, just got particularly bad recently.

infact, i only feel depressed when im sober. i dont get it when im high - otherwise i wouldve stopped smoking looong ago.

well, im sorry for the assumptions then, or just confusion really. i shouldnt attack you for depression.

and yea, i do make negative comments about my feelings on pot once and a while, but if you dont want to hear others opinions, you're on the wrong internet forum.

but i am sorry.

Its not your opinion that annoys me, its that you make every effort to let people know you DONT care if they smoke weed and that youre all open-minded and have friends that smoke. thats just bullshit, be yourself - not who you think people want you to be - at least that way I can respect you despite disagreeing with you.

you dont need to apologise, im not after an apology, i take back what I said - as I was just trying to think up something that I would deem as a low-blow to match yours.

back on topic, i find his new album Continuum pretty good. I'll take Mayer over Jack Johnson any day.

[quote="TGB!":ed481]Mayer is one of those cross-over artists who is able to play the music he wants and still be profitable. . .

Plus hes gotten MAJOR rubs from artists like Kanye West. . .so his cachet just rises. . .

Hes like the cool-musical-whiteboy. . .[/quote:ed481]

he also did a skit with Dave Chappelle on the Chappelle Show lol
