Members mnhhngbfs Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 ... Can some one post evidence of this "great modern electric blues" I keep hearing about? All I've heard is sappy love songs for the radio. If there is truly something of worth in his catalog, I'd like to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mdintx Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 +1 If you read his biography, you can see that Mayer pulls a lot of the expression and feeling in his music from his troubled past. That's a deep wellspring of angst that makes his blues so much more authentic. No joke man, things are rough in Connecticut... Taxes and {censored}!

Members Django Sentenza Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 No joke man, things are rough in Connecticut... Taxes and {censored}! I think treating the intense personal hardships that John endured so lightly shows a lack of basic human decency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeverTheMachine Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I had to re-check the date of this thread. I thought it was made 3 years ago. Give the guy a break, he's been out of the "limelight" for a while and came out with a pretty good ass album recently. He also has vocal problems and {censored} .... Who cares about his guitar or what fender does to sell guitars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hubert Stumblin Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ya know, I just like his music. I could care less about whether he has a signature guitar or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wartoxin Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Never heard of him. This. This to almost every thread you guys post. Actually I'm starting to put the pieces together but still, people's ability to memorize details of countless celebrities and solo artists always surprises me.

Members Phlat Phive Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 He's not just the saviour of the blues, but the saviour of the guitar and popular music in general. Hell, music in general. He's the best thing to happen to music since Bach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Canadian Jeff Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I know nothing about Mayer, never listen to his music. But he doesn't strike me as especially douchey. His guitar is recognizable, so what? Even I recognize that guitar after having seen it a few times - beat up black strat that wears it well, sweeeeet.

Members xrleroyx Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 yeah, I watched part of that yesterday when someone was talking about the JM sig strat. i wondered what was unique about it. I turned it off when he said that when the custom shop delivered the guitar it sounded like {censored}, so he put it in the freezer overnight and it sounded great. That dude must smoke alot of weed.

Memorizing details is one thing, but get out a bit .... It's not difficult to know who john mayer is, it's probably more difficult to not know. You know? I call bull{censored} on most people who claim to never hear of such and such. And while we're at it, isn't using the term "douchenozzle" sort of douchey?

Members ExiledCrow Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 He does sometimes come of as douche-y .... some of it is probably actual douchiness but I think a lot of it is a dry and sarcastic sense of humor. If I were in his position I'm sure some people would think I'm a great guy, some a douche, just like they do now, the only difference is my behavior is never (as far as I know) brought up on internet discussion boards as proof that I'm a douche ... As for the guitar? Marketing bull{censored} and snakeoil, just like almost every other sig model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveGrima Posted June 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ritchie Blackmore has been described as "difficult" but that does not stop people from listening to and enjoying his guitar playing. Why should Mayer be treated any different? I never said don't enjoy his music. this has got nothing to do with his playing. Im just saying hes a narcissistic douchebag is all. And some of you are totally missing the point. Its not a sig model! Its not about that. I dont care who has a sig model. Its just the way he talks about this one guitar. He had a RELIC Strat made in 2004 and he talks about it like its the {censored}ing holy grail. Like just put it up there next to Pages '59 LP, or Django Reinhardts acoustic or some {censored}. And he pretends its not a relic, like he didnt want it to look like some old legendary guitar, like Lenny, or Rory Gallagher's Strat . And if you don't like these kinds of threads you dont have to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Canadian Jeff Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 He totally should have given one word answers to everything. Would have been nice if he'd smashed his guitar for the camera too. Actually, he should have doused himself in gas and lit a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
