So, IK most of daves songs. I've got TB and The Stone down. And I just got fool to think. I'm just wondering... what to do from here. IDK what artists i should even look at playing. idk any with the same skill level. Can some one help??

If you want a similar style, Jack Johnson and John Mayer come to mind.

Or just learn some of the classics. Like Led Zeppelin. That's a GREAT place to start.

Alright ill try led thanks. I learned some jack awile ago when i started. and he just does all the same stuff. i like it, but im up for a challenge. and as for john, ive heard he has some crazy underground and blues stuff, but i havent heard it yet. i cant get that sucky daughters out of my head when i think of him. and thats easy as shit.

well, it depends. You are obviously a more than competent guitarist, so do you want learn more songs, or become more serious about guitar? if the first, I'd say that JJ is a step backwards. John Mayer is a giant step forward. If you want to become serious, I can recommend 9247 books for you, and I'd PM gumbomadness and Cor, because they can really help you out.

[Caleb48kb]

Sweet thanks! Well do you have any recondations for any John Mayer songs? And what about any books. I really dont know what u mean by this "and I'd PM gumbomadness and Cor, because they can really help you out."

good john mayer songs to learn:

Love Soon
Why, Georgia
No Such Thing
Quiet
My Stupid Mouth

well here's a good john mayer site for starters http://www3.sympatico.ca/g403z/

I'd just pick any song you like. FYI, Neon is regarded as John Mayer's most formidable (not necessarily hardest) song.

as far as books, tell me what you're interested in, specific styles, sight reading, getting better fretboard knowledge, etc. gumbomadness and Cor are probably the most knowledgable people on these boards when it comes to music, and they're both very cool and willing to help out.

Awesome thanks. I learned neon a couple of months ago. It took me a couple weeks. I can still play it pretty well. i dont think its tougher than any of daves stuff. ik why georgia, and no such thing. ill try those other songs then. so john is better than dave at guitar? or is it just his different strumming and fingering style. well i need to become alot more aquainted with the fretboard and stuff. I played the violin for 12 years, so i know notes and stuff. im glad im not in the dark. but i dont know the fretboard well yet, and im still not familiar with most modes. im going to study modes on my own. but do u have any recommendations for fretboard learning?

John Mayer is a much better player then Dave.

I'll PM you an awesome fretboard thing tomorrow. As far as modes, IMHO there are more important things like sight reading and interval shapes to work on. Obviously, learning any guitar-applied music theory will only make you better, but I just don't view modes as that important compared to other stuff. That's good you already know Neon, it's one of my favorite songs to play
