John Mayer is my biggest influence right now. I have a lot of respect for him as a guitarist, I think he is by far, the most talented pop artist as of now. He has continually developed his skills and songwriting, and I think he could become really great. I don't always like his lyrics, but I can connect with them on some levels, but sometimes the wording is a bit weak, but his sense of fretboard harmony is great, and he is starting to pull a lot from Hendrix and Vaughn. I read that he always was influenced by them, but you don't hear it much on records. "Any Given Thursday" was great. "Lenny/Man" on the Side, and "Covered in Rain" showcase his electric guitar skill. I prefer his acoustic side, however, but I like the fact he is quite proficient at both.

My favorite songs by him - "3x5", "Great Indoors", "Clarity", "Something's Missing", "Covered in Rain", and "Man on the Side"

Does anyone else like him? Or dislike him and can give a reason? Just interested.
