John mayer is terrible. No ones body is a wonderland, no matter how you put it. he's fake, and is copying daves style, he should probably just kill him self. hes just a big blubbering vagina

K, newbie. First of all, Mayer doesn't copy Dave's guitar style at all. If anybody, it's Stevie Ray Vaughn or Buddy Guy or another blues god he's copying (more like borrowing). Second of all, you sound really ignorant running around saying stuff like that. I don't care for Mayer too much, but come on dude. Grow up.

I know I'm not really helping by posting, but can't we get rid of these threads somehow? I'd like to see this pointless debate threads go away, especially in a forum used to help people play DMB music. Eh, I'll quit bitching now.

I dont like how he uses his thumb to fret some notes on the 6th string. Does Dave ever do that?

Might help if you don't strum Neon... he finger picks it.

this is the song that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friend, and if you started singing it, not knowing what it was then you'll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friend, and if you started singing it not knowing what it was, then you'll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that doesn't end, it goes on and on....
good, and you?

yaeh neon is TECHNICALLY fingerpicking, but you move your hand as wildly as if it was strumming. "kinetic energy" he calls it.

I love doing that, it makes playing some chords a lot easier.
