I'm currently spending a lot of time playing and reading about Stratocasters so it seemed the right time to do this Short History. I should add that this is just John's electric guitars and I did skip some that were played in just one or two shows for the sake of making it a reasonable length. But I do spend time on the instruments that have been the most important for Mayer and the influence that those had on the guitars he'd play later.
I didn't know a lot about John Mayer prior to starting this research and I really enjoyed it. I've even added a few of his tunes to "my book". I don't tend to listen to the radio but man, you can't have missed Mayer's impact on contemporary music this past 20 years.
I hope you enjoy it.
Keith

I’m old. I remember back when John Mayer first came out and everyone thought he was a generic pop act. Hahah how wrong we were. The man can play! Slow dancing in a burning room blew my mind when I first heard it. Mayer is perhaps the most influential player making records today. So many people 30 and under are obsessed with him the way people are obsessed with Clapton, slash, and Hendrix.

I went to a No Doubt Concert in Charlotte NC. I went with 3 Girlfriends and they were there to see the opening act...Mr. Mayer. They were into his Pop songs which I cared little for. John came out and said "We are going to do something a little different tonight, I grew up on the blues........" He proceeded to play nothing but his Blue's stuff for a good 30+ minute opening act.....It was awesome!!!! The girls were not so impressed but I got really close to one of them and we've been married for 13 years ;) Great memories

The only guitar that was truly missed here is John's pink Jackson 30th Anniversary Soloist. He absolutely broke the internet when he played that Soloist on the Late Late Show with Ed Sheeran in 2015, not long after his separation from Fender. Excellent video Keith! I was hoping you'd do a "Short History" on John's collection someday. The man's arsenal is certainly mystifying, and it's great to see it put together in your video format.

I don’t know alot about John Mayer, but i know you forgot to mention his Charvel and Jackson guitars. Probably the most interesting guitars i’ve seen him with, when in put in the context of him as a musician. Also his custom blue charvel with the VCJ graphic (or his “skate guitar” as he calls it) is probably one of my favorite guitars of all time, and arguably even cooler in the hands of a guy like John, seeing him with that guitar would be like seeing Kerry King in a spice girls shirt, totally awesome.

BTW, Why no mention of his superstrats?

He was a pop artist and not a "rock" artist. He says a few big-headed things in some interviews and people were ready to string him up... the guys in Led Zep used to burn groupies with cigarettes for fun, but no one talks about that. It's just a big double standard. I think he's great.

Very good. The one that confounded me though was that Mayer claiming Clapton's birthday was his first time playing a PRS... I've heard other channels mentioning this too... but that can't be. Mayer wrote the song "Wheel" on a PRS McCarty and even documented it on his "making of Heavier Things" video put out by Three On A Tree Productions (I think it was done for MTV). I definitely saw Mayer play one live in August of 2008 in Charlotte, Nc. He was on his 2008 Summer Tour with Paramore opening for him... He played "Wheel" on either that same PRS guitar, or an identical one... He stayed on that guitar for a cover of "Mercy" by Duffy that was popular at the time.

Thanks Keith. This was really fun and informative. I became aware of Mayer through, of all people, my wife, who had discovered him through a media I never engage in,...radio. It was his debut "Room For Squares" album she took a liking to, which I picked up for her. I became more interested when he became more guitar oriented. The wife didn't, as she's not more guitar oriented as evidenced by the fairly frequent, "John, can you turn it DOWN??" demands which echo through our house. We caught Mayer some years ago at the local Blossom Music Center, an outdoor venue and for some reason the temperature that August night plummeted to a bone chilling cold and we left around mid-way. Would have liked to stay for more.

Good work Keith, it is nice seeing you get past the 60s and 70s into something more modern. There are plenty of guitar heroes these days as well you can cover. We still need Yngwie, Abasi, Nita Strauss and many others. Oh! You have to do John 5 and his massive Telecaster collection.

Little surprised the pink Jackson didn’t get a mention but overall this was a really fun video.

Another truly remarkable history of the guitars of the 21st C. best new guitarist. I need to do my own deep dive into his catalog. I have seen a few people claim that the Silver Sky is the modern take on the Stratocaster. Thank you again Keith for a topic I didn't know I'd like until it was presented to me.

Great job, my friend; I enjoyed this video very much. It will not surprise you I own several Silver Sky models, from three different years, and I can vouch for the comment you made that Paul Reed Smith is always striving to improve his company’s guitars. All of mine are indeed different, and while they’re all fabulous, the most recent one is a truly exceptional instrument.

I think JM is definitely a modern day guitar hero.

Absolutely fantastic content as always! This was a wonderful unexpected surprise! I would very much agree that John Mayer could be considered one of the last guitar heroes.

I have seen John 5 times with Dead & Company. I wasn't really into his music, but he won me over pretty fast. Last summers Fri night show at Wrigley is probably the best concert I have seen.
