Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

not sure if I already argued this, but mayer started as an electric guitarist more than anything, he picked up acoustic by necessity as a solo artist as it tends to support itself more...to say he sold out and picked up an electric is a completely untrue statement...his electric stuff is a lot more intense than his acoustic stuff, and who knows what he's got going for the next album...

4 words.....Man on the Side....that song is ridicilious, it kicks my ass

anyway, i play victoria like this, with my thumb

e--------------------------------
b---------1----------3----------
g---------2----------2---------- etc, the rest is self explananitory
d---2----2------0---0----------
a-0---0-0-----------------------
E-----------3-2---2---2-3------

finger the Am normally, then middle finger on the E 3, thumb on the E 2, leave it there while you strum the d chord, then switch to middle on the E again , finger the C normally for the hammer on. i use my thumb to pick the strings, and my forefinger to hit the chord segments.....hope that helps

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
