I think he deserves more recognition. Audiences are not willing to see the essence of the work.

[@brucewayne823]

To the ones that matter(the greatest guitar players in the world) he is 100% recognized as the talent that he is. His early work, Room For Squares kind of boxed him in, and when the uninitiated think of him, they think Your Body is a Wonderland. Those same people have never seen him absolutely SHRED SRV and Jimi Hendrix or even play the Blues. He’s the greatest, most well rounded player of all time IMHO. Though I’m biased.

[@robbertzeeman]

100% agrees. But he still basically sells out two concerts in Amsterdam. So i still thinks he does okay. Plus the room is filled with fans of John, so thats cool!

I’m the exact same way, I remember being 6 and hearing my dad always play this both on guitar and the radio constantly, being able to play it now makes my heart so happy 🥲

Mayer is one of the most underrated guitar players. All of those people that say his songs are easy to play should watch this video. 5:28-5:50 is sick!

[@mariamamin6041]

SC ASH lol

[@sonicsfan4life]

SC ASH The only people who say John Mayer’s songs are easy to play are people who don’t know how to play the guitar.. Some of his earliest music (songs like “Neon” from Room For Squares and “Stop This Train” from Continuum) is ridiculously challenging.. And his newer stuff isn’t much easier..

[@user-hb1uo6vq3j]

As a guitarist its not technically complicated. But its a groove that sounds great.

[@user-hb1uo6vq3j]

@@sonicsfan4life And yes, Neon is a wild ass song. If you cant use your thumbs for the treble notes on the E string, you're pretty much F'd

[@stephenlin3166]

How is it going? Can you show how to do that end solo?

[@steppingstone683]

Is it possible to get that good of a strum. His strumming is so clean. I’ve played guitar without a lot of structure and I don’t have a musical gift, but the timing and precision he has with his strumming, is that possible for someone to learn if they’re not musically gifted

[@jacobmoeller7483]

Bro anything can be learned if you put enough time and focus into it

[@thesmellycatjazz]

Get a teacher and some structure. Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect

[@marlobrandon6358]

i would say practice it as fast as you can. I think its a myth that practicing things slow is the way to build speed.

[@reesecup3ify]

He's an amazing guitarist but his rhythm was all over the place in this performance.

[@lmc190598]

There is no such thing (pun intended) as gift bro, every succesful musician busted their asses studying and practicing. Some people understand things easier than others, but at the end of the day we all can get to the same place if we really want to.

It's actually not that hard, he's just playing it fast. Keep at it, you'll get it!
