5. If he's good enough for Clapton…

"John Mayer is a "master" guitar player." ~ Eric Clapton

 

6. He's ready to learn and grow while being guided by three of the original members. How Awesome!

"I've got what I call the double black diamonds. There are [songs] that require me to learn how to be a better guitar player. “Slipknot,” for example — if I tried to play it now, I couldn't do it, so it's forcing me to be better. Also, if you're doing everything right, you get it wrong." ~John Mayer
