Hahaha...yeah, he has some weird-ass jamming faces. As for the DMB...I play both and cover both. They aren't the same. I definetely see the influence, but most people just compare them because they're songwriters and they both play acoustic guitar. Their overall styles are completely different, and for the most part, John uses different chords, too. Actually a lot of the chords he uses are jazz extensions and he has a lot of chords I just call "Mayer" chords, because I never see them used anywhere else, and he reuses certain sets of them. He quotes his biggest influences as being Hendrix and Stevie Ray...he was a guitarist before he was a songwriter, but we don't see too much of his electric guitar on his albums.
