Bassist from John Mayer

Yes he is a great bass player.. His live playing is much better.. he stays in the pocket for the most part.. but I saw him play live once and he took a solo.. it was very very good

 

I caught Mayer on Last Call with Carson Daly and I thought he sounded pretty good. Mayer also sounded pretty nice running basslines on his acoustic unaccompanied on the first song.

 

I think you nailed the description perfectly, good support with flavor.. a nice spice rack. He smiles too, which is refreshing these days. John is a very diverse guitarist from what I've seen, I glanced at a clip of what appeared to be him slapping on guitar, anyone whose seen them live notice this?

 

yeah John does do some slap guitar.. he does it on a song called Neon... its pretty cool to see him do it live...

 

and the bassist's name is what?

I too like his playing, it really drives that "I wanna run thru the walls of my high school song".

do what I'm gonna do, check the allmusicguide, www.allmusic.com

Mayer's a former Berklee attendee. For a top-40 artist, he's hiding some serious chops.

 

When Mayer's album first came out, it had a bonus C.D. of him playing live doing Hendrix stuff....yeah he comes to play!

 

Hi kickuintheballs

His name is Dave LeBruyere and yes he is awesome. I believe he also plays for a band called Over the Rine.
