The nods to blues greats like SRV, Hendrix, and The 3 Kings is undeniable in his playing, while the songs both seem to stay rooted in the blues while pushing the art forward gently and with care.<\/p>\n<p>And while I may not be a big fan of some of his more pop-tinted material, I&#8217;m thankful that the next generation of guitar players has someone with some solid technique and chops to look up to in Mayer.<\/p>\n<p>Which is what makes what I have for you today even more interesting&#8230; this is a documentary told from Mayer&#8217;s perspective and put together by Mr. Eastwood Allen who reached out to me a few weeks ago and now that I&#8217;ve finally had a chance to watch it I think you&#8217;ll really enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this is a little more than a casual watch, but when you have a little over an hour to sit with it I encourage you to skip a couple episodes of something on TV and check it out&#8230; I think you&#8217;ll really dig it. Some of the playing examples are, of course, killer.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s always great to hear about the creative process from an artist in their own words. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And thanks to Mr. Allen for sharing it with us all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A2wsTv3zVD0?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love him or hate him, John Mayer has carved himself quite a niche in both the popular and blues guitar community over the last 15 years or so that is undeniable.
