You don't need me to tell you this, but it's been a long year. A sometimes productive year but loooong. I've been pretty consistent with the guitar practice and uploading of my progress so maybe not making the nice or naughty lists but the consistent one.
We had Christmas lunch with the in laws at ours and then after a 10-minute lull, dinner with my family again at ours. It's like pulling off a band aid. Just rip the thing off. Yesterday (Boxing day) I was a broken man and not overly festive.
I did open a gift from the family which was not guitar related. I scored some battery tools. A hedge trimmer and drill. Got me thinking about doing some jobs around the house. Also got me thinking about a song to play. John Mayer! He's a tool as well!!
Don't get me wrong, brilliant guitarist! I got a hold of his live DVD where there are 3 different acts. The first is him and his acoustic, second is his blues band and third is the full band. The 2nd act (John Mayer Trio) has some of the best guitaring I have ever heard. The combo of John, Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino? Wow.
In between the 3 acts John does some talking, which he really shouldn't do. He seems to be a true knob, not a bad person, just incredibly egocentric and a bit of a tool.
Anyway, enough bad-mouthing. This is the song Gravity from his third album called Continuum. One of the greats, his early stuff is his best in my opinion.
Hope you all enjoy it and had a very merry Christmas!

I like a bit of 3/4 blues and that is sweet. Can't say I know too much about Mr Mayer though. He does seem to have some talent anyway. Plenty of talented people are not nice people though.

I didn't realize it was 3/4 until you said that. I don't think I've ever heard him say anything that nasty, he just has a rather inflated ego. Having said that, I reckon my ego may expand a bit if I'd dated Katy Perry, Renée Zellweger, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, and Jennifer Love Hewitt... When that happens if I say anything that makes be sound like a dick make sure you pull me back down to earth. 😉
I didn't know he'd dated all those ladies. I guess he must have something going for him. The world of celebrity can be a strange thing though. Riches do not always bring happiness.

I spend many hours listening to this song a week, it is one of Mr. Mayer's best songs, your guitar sounds very good, it doesn't really differ much from the original.
Thanks Andrew! I don't think you can over listen his first 3 albums.
