      Mayer used put importance on originality. Now hes just regurgitating a whole decade of boring ideas. I bet the 80s sound is pretty neat to fresh ears. But to the rest of us it's a thousand wrong turns that led to the most excessive decade in the record business.
      That solo has almost no relationship to the song other than being mostly in key...typical 80's 🤷‍♂️. Hes John Mayer, his bends shouldnt bush league....

      I'm with ya my man. Reminds a lot of _"Prince."_ ei Were he still alive I could 100% see him singing performing this song. The guitar similarities are uncanny, the way on occasion you can't distinguish it from his voice (or vice versa) as they both convey so much raw emotion that's chaotic, almost pleading, but somehow still under control.

      ​@@TheTommyCraft Definitely appreciate Mraz's songwriting, he's got some beautiful songs. But I'm sure you'll agree with me in saying the subtly juxtaposed combination of Mayer's voice, lyrics and guitar chops just... works. A beautiful, complimentary trifecta of talents that you just don't get from most artists these days.

      @@tomtankengine0 I concur that Mayer is the better artist, no doubt. I was just pointing out that pure joy of expression, jubilance of having fun is consistently in Mraz’s music as well. It isn’t anywhere near as technically accomplished, but you can’t help but hear the fun Mraz and his band is having and a lot of his music lifts your spirit regardless.

I deeply love Jazz and Blues and listen to it every night while at work. His music is on ab entire new level. It shows through his entire being. John Mayer is his music. I pray that he stays healthy and safe. His gift to this world is priceless. Keep us all where the light is!!

    Real John Mayer fans who've seen him live would know this solo was super organic and he actually must have played it at one go. This is what happens when you leave good musicians inside a studio and do not overproduce. ❤

    Holy smokes, I'm 62 and I'm just really discovering the magic that is John Mayer! Where have I been? Stuck in legend land with James Taylor and CSNY. I play acoustic guitar and sing but just had vocal tumors removed (benign - whew) but I just learned 'Why Georgia' and started learning 'No Such Thing' (that I think is targeted toward high school/early college kids, but I'm stuck!) I gotta learn more! Neon will be a waaaayyy off in the future but this song is Beautiful!, Beautiful! I wish I could see you live in Charlotte but my wife and I will be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary and funds are tight due to the economy and work, so, I will learn this song and sing it with her...acoustically. John, respectfully, I think you're an ancient alien, with your amazing talent gifted from God or the gods! Late but grateful to have discovered John Mayer!!😁

      I've been listening to JCM since Room for Squares, when I was a mere 30 (? oh god, I'm so old)... But am still blown away whenever I hear anything post-Heavier things. I mean, Jesus, he was already in the pantheon of songwriting with his first couple albums, for chrissakes... But then along comes Continuum and it's like - okay, WTF, is there ANYTHING this man cannot do? Album after album, live performance after live performance, NOPE. Clearly not. Hell, he can even ACT. Erudite as FUCK, a charming bastard to boot. Trying not to be bitter, okay... Some people are just blessed by the cosmos. It's for the rest of us mere mortals to simply lie back and enjoy it. So to speak.
      If I had all the money in the world, one of the first things I'd do is get front row seats to his tours. I mean, yeah - set up a trust fund for my kid, a foundation to get low-cost housing set up for my hometown... but definitely front row seats would be a top tier priority. Something I'll never get in this lifetime, otherwise. 😉
