John Mayer

This week I’m going to introduce my favorite guitarist – John Mayer! I used to think he is just a pop singer and has little talent in songwriting or guitar playing. I was totally wrong! After learning to play guitar, I started to know that his skill is at an extremely high level, and the song he writes are like celestial sound. 

John Mayer was enchanted by the instrument at the age of 8 after seeing the guitar performance in the movie “Back to the Future”. At 13, a neighbor gave him the cassette of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who was one of the greatest guitarists, and led him to build his interest in blues. The young John Mayer escaped into the world of the music from the arguments of his parents - "disappear and create my own world I could believe in" he said.

Practicing hard two years, John Mayer formed his own band and had some performance at bars even though he was just a high school student. The disease cardiac dysrhythmia found him at 17, and he was hospitalized for a weekend. This incident led to the birth of the songwriter in his soul!  

 Let’s appreciate some of his songs which I like the most!
