Ah Gud one mate.. yeah man.. i managed to get the blu-ray copy and man
WOW.. i reali get to see how versatile his music style is.. from the acoustic
to the trio and his band stuff.. def worth the buy.. or wortwhile to watch..
he is an extremely talented guitarist... wicked concert..
i have not seen the Any given thursday.. is it any good??
lightspeedchili
his little trio on the new dvd is super tight!
dyllels
yeah im sure there are many guitarists out there who have said it before and will agree with me in saying.. this guy is SUPER underrated. got 'any given thursday" and "where the light is"
Great selection of music. Cover of Tom Petty's free fallin' is really good i think and the Trio is amazing. one of favourite DVD's i must say ?

A really great Mayer quote, which sums up his playing-
“Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix. And that's who a lot of people have become. However far you stop on your climb to be like him, that's who you are.”

wow.. thats pretty profound.. bt i think some how i can relate.. its who we all are..
we idolise someone, and we want to play jis lyk them..
Free falling is an awesome song on the disk.. ders and awesome tab at ultimate-guitar
its pretty easy to play as well with the picking...
his transition from the poppy stuff to blues was unbelievable.. and he has earned alot of
credibility and respect in the guitar fraterinities for it..
i still havnt seen any given thursday.. is it more his pop stuff?
dyllels
'any given thursday' is more of the pop songs yeah.. nice guitar playing on the songs tho and he does a cover of stevie ray vaughns 'lenny' before 'man on the side'. it is amazing i think. worth a watch but maybe not a purchase unless you a fan of his pop songs as well.

My brother had just lent me "where the light is" and "on any given thurday" can't wait to check them out.

need to get my paws on where the light is ☹ but any given thursday i enjoyed singing starts off quite flat but he puts on a great show interesting thing bout that concert is it was very soon after he got signed and pre YBIAW.
I know you'll enjoy his nod to SRV
Ok i'm a fan sue me ( if you are that way inclined the commentary is quite interesting too - don't think any other artist has done commentary on their own concert)
tyrone-govender
ooh SRV.. niiiice.. me thinks i need to purchase this dvd..

I have just bought the DVD and am quite intrigued by the song "Neon". What tuning is it in.
Is it normal tuning with the lower E tuned to C?
This song would be a good picking exercise
Neps
Neon is Standard tuning with Lower E dropped to C!!
And I still to this day cant play that song!! (Maybe my Taylor is not happy with me doing those weird things)
dyllels
yeah neon is deceptively difficult to play. gotta get that thumb doing bass lines on the low C while picking with the rest of the fingers. good song ?

Hand written john Tab.... ??? still doesn't help till you learn how to beat the living crap out of a martin with your thumb while simultaneously playing some jazzy bits with the rest of your digits
