The Many Faces of John Mayer

My last test. The whole html thing is new to me. Anyways, I'm trying to post a youtube clip...

This is a John Mayer clip from Crossroads. This is over a year old, but still good. If you don't listen to much John Mayer you might just think of him as a pop musician. Other than his first CD, I don't particularly like most of his CD/commercial music. Ah, but this is blues. Mayer has a lot of critics in guitar player circles. Basically that he isn't original, trys to sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc. All I know is that he can flat out play. I can only hope to be that good someday.

Anyways, the main reason I posted this clip is his facial expressions. I know that there is a traditiona of making faces when playing blues. The faces John Mayer makes seem to be over the top to me. I get a kick out of them. I can't stop laughing. I just wonder if he is just "naturally" doing them or if he is trying to be funny. I'm thinking it is a little of both. I've seen some interviews clips of him and he seems to have a great sense of humor. The clip is 8:47 long, so it might take a few minutes to load. You'll get the basic idea after a couple minutes, but he does some weird faces throughout. Enjoy.

I have to work on being more concise. :)
