-----Sucker, by the girl John Mayer

gotta love that great melody line :lol:

...the guitar part is "OK" at most... Neon is his only song that gets a chance in my books...and that gets old...

now play Seek Up, and I wanna play along...

On to more important things, Seek Up is a great song fire, thanks for reminding me. I think I am going to do a cover.

Seek Up is soo good, and I only kind of "discovered" it long after I got L@LC, I would always skip over it. Lyrically, it is one of the best. I honestly don't see how gcom007 could say Dave doesn't have meaningful lyrics. He mentions WWYS, but cleverly leaves out Seek Up, #41, Halloween, You Never Know, Stone, and perhaps the best song lyrically: Last Stop.

Picking Mayer's best and Dave's worst I see

are you suggesting seek up is better in a guitar aspect than sucker or just about any other mayer song?

as far as talent in playing, mayer probably is better. but as far as a complete song, we all know seek up is so much better...

I love seek up more than most mayer songs personally, but as far as just sheer quality of the whole song, just about any mayer owns it...I mean, it's just basically a D minor chord the whole time with a little 7 thrown in from the myxolydian...blah musically...

the fact is that Dave made a great song by only using that Dm chord, but Mayer throws his hands all over the frets and makes it complicated, because that is all he is good at.

How's that, man? You are trying to say that Mayer is a better songwriter than Dave, yet you also state that you love Seek Up more than most mayer songs, despite the fact that it's for the most part based off a single chord. So which is it?

Off the subject of dave/mayer... can I ask what happened to ya? I know you were never like jason in your following of dave but... you at least used to have respect for him, and for us. What happened to that?

Alright, ya'll...I can't takes no more...

I've been visiting these boards for months...and...I had to sign up. gcom007 is sucking the life out of me. Thus, he is a jackass. He will always be a jackass...all will know that he is a jackass.

This is the best dmb site I've found...the people are nice. The suggestions are good...the questions are good(ones I've asked myself many times before). All this negative energy needs to go to the zoo.

Dave rocks...the band rocks. They wouldn't be the best live band ANYWHERE if that weren't the case. Let's find the love...please!
