Great Mayer Lessons

Rich Nibbe does an excellent job of capturing and teaching the style of John Mayer including how Mayer articulates with / without a pick, his rhythmic fingerstyle approach and his overall techniques he employs. Great Job True Fire for perserving this one from Jam Play!

Style of John Mayer (Jam Play)

Good introduction to some of John Mayer's techniques. Not too in depth so can cover course fairly quickly which is what I was after.
