John Mayer a better guitar player than Tim Reynolds?

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

people always say that john mayer is different than dave because he's a pop songwriter...as if dave isn't...that's just fairly absurd...

well Elliot, I do enjoy reading your criticism as you can back it up with decent facts/opinions, but as well as you know, the majority of people on here are going to disagree, because it is a DMB message board. I'm just stating the obvious. You seem to be a smart individual, really, use your intellectual prowess to praise some people instead of always looking at the negative things...it's more enjoyable that way...

i didn't say he was a great songwriter anyway... i can't stand either of their lyrics, but some of mayer's guitar (and dave's as well) makes me want to smash my guitar in half... but your body's a wonderland, why georgia, bigger than my body, and half of his other work is sickening...

I'm just trying to incite controversy, there are certainly things I think dave does well that I have highlighted on occasion, just the majority of the time I don't get into it, and I feel I'm balanced, like I don't like tim, I really don't, but I admit he's an amazing technical player, a positive thing, he just doesn't have a good grasp of melody, but yeah, I make fun.
