This is a fair comparison- Chris Rea is pretty close in terms of being a pop songwriter who can rip out some tasty blues when the need arises, only the need doesn't arise all that often.
What excites you in music is what excites you- if John Mayer doesn't, that's fine. One man's "grit, fire and passion" is another man's "pipe, slippers and Horlicks".
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
I like his playing, I like his phrasing when he’s really going for it, and love his tone.

For me the ‘where the light is’ DVD really sHowcases him at his best (especially the JM Trio stuff). I almost never listen to any studio version of anything on that because he’s so much better in a live environment.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youAs Oct says, try to play something like this while singing as well (and doing it all really well) and you soon realise just how good he is.

But as not_the_DJ said... What the hell is that talking on Bold As Love?! Does he actually talk like that or was he trying to put on a Hendrix voice for the last word in each sentence?

He's not my fave, but I do listen from time to time.

I think he is an exception guitarist but it's not so obvious why at first. Some of the chuck and pluck stuff is pretty dam hard to do but then he goes and sings over the top with different phrasing and makes it look effortless . I think he is certainly one of the best at holding a beat on a guitar while riffing and solo'ing. His voicing is great too, big hands and stretch's with thumb over the top
I've watched a lot of his Instagram \ periscope videos where he shows us how he does it .... I've learnt a lot from that so fair play to him for taking the time to do it. Check this out
Songwise as other have said live is always better. Listen to Gravity, heart of life, slow dancing in a burning room on the Where The Light is DVD
