  1. LOL!  This is after years of commitment to the hobby ;)

    Its been a long road but I'm almost there where I set out to be....almost.

     

    There is a bunch of more stuff thats not in the picture...but I have a supportive wife, hence it's all worked out pretty well.

     

    Insane setup, my wife might lose her shit if I she came home to that

  2. Disclaimer: my vote doesn't stem from studio albums. Live John Mayer is a totally different beast. His solos fall under the "every note thought out" category to the extent that it feels, to me, like he is saying more through his guitar that his lyrics. He also weighs in heavily in the technically proficient category. Not in the sense of finger tapping solos in 9/12 time but in the sense that you simply can't play what he does and his solos just "make sense." And obviously he weighs in the "memorable riffs" category as he has sold a bazillion records. His 4xlp "Where the Light Is" highlights this perfectly. Disk 1 is an acoustic set. He plays some of the very best acoustic folk style guitar out there. Disk 2 is his blues trio. Sick nasty what he can do with just a kit and a bass backing him. On disks 3 & 4 he redefines his "poppy" songs playing/singing them in a way that transcends radio top 40 crap.

    I'm convinced that anyone on here that does not list John Mayer simply has not been to his live show. Man owns the guitar and as mentioned above "speaks" through it in a way no other technical guitarists in this thread can.

     

    Dude has the chops and the soul, the ultimate combo

     

    "Your Body is a Wonderland" - thats like saying the only song the Beatles wrote was "Help"
