Thanks to Guitar Lifestyle where we first saw this video of a Guitar World interview with John Mayer discussing his unique cover of Crossroads. The intro to the video consists of several comedic false intros by John Mayer. Some of Mayer’s other comedic endeavors have included some misses (nsfw) but these mostly hit the mark. The meat of the interview is where it gets interesting. John discusses how he came up with the idea for his version, his tones, takes a very detailed look at his right hand technique, and discusses the music theory behind some of his choices.
