Any John Mayer fans here?? I really like his music not to sure i'm a big fan of his latest single "Who Says" but i don't think its terrible.

Anyway I just found this contest to meet John Mayer and win free tickets to his show in NYC.. They will even fly the winner in and rent them a hotel.. Sounds pretty awesome to me.. I just entered, but i never win these things.. heres the link for anyone interested: http://fuse.tv/ontv/shows/john-mayer/contest.html

I am a huge fan of John Mayer and have done a tutorial on Guitar Tricks showcasing his acoustic styles. You can find that at the link below;

As for "Who Says?" I would agree it is not his best work but a good song. The lyrics I feel could be a little better but the playing is great and he sticks to a formula of sorts (which I feel is good at this stage in his career.) His new album "Battle Studies" will be released on November 17 of this year. Norah Jones will be releasing a new album as well on that day with the production of Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse) featuring the guitar playing of the amazing Marc Ribot.

I love his playing....he is one who inspires me to get my guitar and play. Him and Dave Matthews make me want to pick it up and let my fingers sing. I just wish I could do what they can...lolol.

I like John Mayer a lot myself....not crazy about his political stuff in some of his music but I have bought about everything he has made. Very talented guy.
