hear John plays a mean blues guitar
That's an understatement. I saw him twice last year, once when he was headlining. He went off during that, for sure, but that doesn't amount to what happened a month earlier.
I was at Clapton's Crossroads festival, and midway through the day Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, and Jimmie Vaughn were all sitting out jamming, taking turns soloing, and just being general bad asses.
Out comes Mayer, and sure enough, he held his own right next to King and Clapton. The boy can play. BB King was nodding and smiling the whole time, almost as if to give him the seal of approval, thinking "This kid's pretty good."
He's an amazing guitarist, he really is. Most people don't realize it. They will if they hear this album. The end of "Wait Until Tomorrow" will make any skeptic a believer
