If I am in a restaurant or airport or somewhere and I hear him, it doesn't bother me, it is what it is I guess. Not great but not terrible. Kinda like James Taylor I suppose.
What bothers me are these comparisons to Clapton and Hendrix. Please,...John Mayer is a good guitar player, but get into reality,...he ain't close to Clapton or Hendrix,...never will be.
Off topic slightly,..I was just as bothered by Diana Krall being compared to Oscar Peterson. Good Lord if there ever was an overstatement,...Even after Peterson had a stroke, was well into his 70's and played at half the speed with one hand,...he still did 10x more than Krall with all 10 digits in working order.
Thankfully her saving grace with me was completely discounting that comparison,...and who wouldn't,..for the sake of looking completely retarded.
Krall I can listen to now. Mayer I tolerate.
