If you dont have a slight mancrush on John Mayer then you're gay, also probably one of the most talented musicians of our generation. He does have some very fruity/girly songs, but these are some of my favorites.

srv blended hendrix/page/gibbons rock style with more traditional texas blues ie johnny copeland, t-bone walker, johnny winter

he was a cross over in the same way that mayer is. i believe that ever generation will have at least one "cross over" that will introduce people to the blues.

however mayer is much less authentic than SRV. if you know anything about the blues you will admit that

Yeah I feel that.

In the vein of blues I can definitely admit that. But yeah as you mentioned he's a very extended bridge from the world of acoustic pop songs to the world of the blues. Which I think is super rad.

His music is fucking god awful and makes me want to kill helpless animals. That said he's a fucking beast on guitar. I just wish he didn't play such shitty music.

minette is in the same stuff. creative and "technical" as far as shred goes, but in a wider perspective there isn't much depth to the music.
