one thing I always respect about john, is that he always seems present and engaged in his interviews. I like that, it's him giving his respect to whoever he's giving his time to. we don't know how he's feeling when he does an interview, but he always gives his full attention. I respect that about him and I think it's kind of an underrated trait of his.

@dr05guitar 5 жыл бұрын

that's a good point, a lot of artists kinda seem halfway interested or sort of just give blase answers...John always seems to put thought into his answers, which of course we have come to expect from him!

John's ability to engage is definitely an underrated quality of his that is not really appreciated by the wider public... I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of his great composition CLARITY on my channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

100% agree with him about the '9 year old that can play purple haze' While it's incredible to watch and spot on to Hendrix, it's also entirely too precise sounding, and also extremely calculated. Soulless would maybe be too harsh of a word, but it's the only one I can think of right now. That's not to say that 9 year old wouldn't one day become a Hendrix in his own way, but experiences, life, love, heartbreak, hurt, pain physically and mentally... ALL OF LIFE'S EXPERIENCES is what gives artists and their playing expression. And I'm not saying a 9 year old hasn't gone through any of it, but he won't reach his true potential until he experiences ALL OF IT. Thanks to anyone who read this! Much love!

I love John Mayer, but his choice of words come off as an attempt to sound more intelligent in places - he uses the word 'ambulatory' incorrectly at the end of the video, for instance (which typically translates to 'to be able to walk'). I'm guilty of doing the exact same thing in everyday discourse, and often think it's walking the fine line between appreciating the nuances of language and flaunting vocabulary. But I know I'm a bit of a pretentious cunt sometimes, and I don't doubt that Mayer would have the self-awareness to confess the same if queried.
