maybe it's not some kind of flashy distortion drenched solo, but as a guitarist of almost 7 years i really respect his ability.

i agree with John Mayer as well, i think they're both very underrated.

Maybe I should listen to some more DMB. I pretty much wrote off everything they do because around my area all the college chicks love to play his songs in bars and omfalksjdf;lksjd;fl I get so tired of hearing Dave Matthews Band. There is even a Dave Matthews cover band that loves to go around to different bars playing the same songs that get played from the jukeboxes argh

there ya go pure skills

no but seriously he has collaborated with BB King, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton.

he also has his blues band John Mayer Trio

when I think of Mayer associated with the blues, I think of George Carlin saying:

George Carlin: White people have no business playing the blues ever, at all, under any circumstances. Ever, ever, ever. What the f*ck do white people have to be blue about? "Banana Republic ran out of khakis"?
[laughter]
George Carlin: "The espresso machine is jammed"?
[laughter]
George Carlin: "Hootie and the Blowfish are breaking up?"
[laughter]
George Carlin: White people ought to understand it's their job to *give* people the blues, not to get them. And certainly not to sing or play them. I'll give you a little tip about the blues, folks: it's not enough to know which notes to play. You need to know why they need to be played.
