Neon explained by Mayer...

Unread post by Versacci41 » Mon Mar 15, 2004 1:41 am

There have been alot of threads on Neon, but if anyone still has questions about it, Mayer explains the first half of it (verse, prechorus, interlude) in this months Guitar World Acoustic. One of the things he explains is his right hand technique, he does use just the thumb and index finger. So if you're interested check it out...there's also a cool article on Nick Drake...

I don't think he did. He had musicians he constantly recorded with, but as for having a real "band" I don't think so, since he was too shy/nervous when performing live so I doubt there was ever a band and it wouldn't fit in conjunction with his character, which was more the isolated, introverted type.
