Well, to get it out of the way, I'm a HUGE fan...
contribute lang ako ng konting info na alam ko.
Yung big dipper pups, I'm not sure if It's available separately. Only place you can find them in is ebay... meaning kinarne cuz those pups only come with the John Mayer sig strat... which leads me to an answer to one question posted....
yes may sig strat si john mayer. may shoreline gold w racing stripe, charcoal frost with stripe din (limited to 100), 3tone burst, cypress mica (limited din), and alpine white. around 1500++ dollars.
I guess for most of us forum members who are deeply into music and guitar playing, we'll appreciate mayer. most of those who diss him initially are the purists. Sometimes those who hate pop... hey it's hard to make a pop song IMO hehehe but then they miss out on that thing that we see in him... his skill in playing guitar, songwriting, and overall musicianship. He's awesome. great guitar player. If you do the whole research re his music career and life, you'll be surprised and you'll appreciate him more. ibang klase tlaga.
The comparisons will always be there but John mayer is John mayer much like you are you and kaw lang ang nakakagawa ng musika na mula sayo. It's inevitable that our influences will show in our playing. It doesn't mean we're not unique.
Aliw nga si Tomo he posted in a forum how happy he was when John handed hiim a sig strat as a gift. aliw...
I guess he is underrated in the sense that he doesn't get enough recognition as a serious, skillfull and talented artist... much more as a blues player. His early career writing AWESOME pop songs may have somehow "tarnished" his "credibility" to be taken seriously by SOME people. I'm just glad that in the music circle here and internationally, they see it and RECOGNIZE. Playing on the stage with the blues greats is I guesse enough proof that he's bein taken seriously.
hayop si John. I'm such a fan I TRY to buy what I can from his setup haha
