The Learn to Play John Mayer DVD will teach you how to play five of his blues inspired tracks note for note.
This DVD set has over three hours of intense, note-for-note guitar lessons, covering some of the most popular tracks from Mayer’s albums.
John Mayer’s guitar style is an amalgamation of various blues players – standing in the crossroads where blues meet contemporary pop music. Learning from his style will let you recognize the applications of classic blues licks and style into modern music.
The melancholic acoustic guitar driven track Stop This Train from Mayer’s Continuum album is a great song to learn, with its unique right hand rhythm technique. The song Bigger than my Body from John’s second album – “Heavier Things” – is broken down to easily digestible bits devoid of its complicated effect driven sound.
The unique drop-C tuned track Neon, which is my personal favorite from the album Room For Squares, is a nice pocket trick for impressing other guitar players. This DVD will help you do the same complicated right hand slap and finger techniques that John used on the song.
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room along with Gravity are two tracks that will give you the low-down on Mayer’s soulful blues style and rounds up the healthy mix of tunes for you to learn.
Mike Casswell is the man assigned to help you through the lessons, taking you through the songs step by step. The screen is split so that not only can you see what Mike is doing on the fret board, but you can also see how he emulates John Mayer’s unique strumming technique.
For complete satisfaction, you can also get Lick Library’s John Mayer Jam Trax for an added price. These full backing tracks are recorded by live musicians to help you get the live feel of playing through John Mayer’s songs.
Learn to Play John Mayer DVD Set is priced at £24.99, while the complete bundle with jam tracks is priced at £29.98.
