Description
In this tutorial we'll study the electric guitar playing style made famous by John Mayer. This style is defined by a blend of blues, R&B (rhythm and blues), pop and rock influences, soulful feel, and expressive playing. We'll explore the techniques used to create this iconic sound, from the smooth, vocal-like bending to the masterful use of dynamics and articulation. We'll break it it down into several key factors, learn what makes it special, and then learn to play riffs and licks in the style along with backing tracks.
