Is John Mayer a better guitar player than Dave Matthews?

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

He looks like he is in extreme pain when he is playing.

Dear....God. :shock:

Not again. Whhhhhhhyyyyyyy? Do you have it marked on your calendar every month? "Top stupid thread on dmbtabs?"

As a side note, topping your own thread is lame.

Now lets see who is going to feel like they need to add their $.02 to this thread that is already completely cashed out.

I like Dave Matthews so much more than John Mayer. I would like to see John try to play Tripping Billies in the manner that Dave does...I doubt he could really get it. It is so amazing how Dave mutes everything except for the string(s) that he is strumming. I was confused the first time that I saw video of Dave playing Ants Marching. Sure John knows how to solo...so what. Have him play Stream, lol. And over all Dave sings so much better and his songs have better content. And by the way, I have been playing for about a year, and I can play Lover Lay Down with notes instead of vocals with decent rhythm...it's all based off of the A chord. To summate: Dave has better style, rhythm, ideas, songs, etc...John can sing about running around his high school all he wants, it won't make him as great as Dave. Peace to all...
I love you oh so well, like a kid loves candy and fresh snow.

Actually, no, I think everyone in their right mind hates it. He replied to let you know that what you did is wrong. Please stop. Thank you.
