yeah sometimes he does, sometimes not, and sometimes switches it up and plays half of a song with a pick and half without

i think that's what saves him, in my head, from being sucky. i mean i liked him at first. then as more of his stuff got played out i started to really just hate what he does but when you see him play it and then go off for a solo it totally redeems anything bad i thought about him. and puts me to shame for ever doubting.

Ive been listening to Mayer for over two years now probably and when I saw him for the first time 1.5 years ago it was in a little club in Pittsburgh and there was maybe 100 people there it was sooo cool, that man is really good at guitar, I was just standing there in amazement. Just felt like bragging, anywho, what is the date of the show where he plays the nsync thing, that sounds pretty funny, Id like to hear it.

so far what i have from that show is My stupid mouth, great indoors, No such thing (with pop intro), and Your body is a wonderland. i couldnt find anymore. but if you are downloading your first mayer video, you gotta download Neon from the Carson Daly show...it's so sweet
