Who is your favorite pop guitar player around town?Guitar Player Magazine Issue
Blake Mills. He’s incredible. I would say he’s an inspiration, but what he inspires me to
do is throw all my guitars into the L.A. River. While I may never be able to play like him,
it’s always immensely fun to learn a new lick or voicing and incorporate it into my
onstage vocabulary. Whenever I can, I take a guitar lesson from Jean-Marc Belkadi
or other guys around town—not just to learn new things, but because lessons keep me
playing guitar. I went to a Berklee summer session right after high school in 1996, just
to learn more guitar. That’s where I met John Mayer. He won the big scholarship prize—
the son of a bitch. That’s why I didn’t give him that amp [laughs].
