Who is your favorite pop guitar player around town?
Maroon 5's James Valentine on
the Art of Pop/FunkGuitar.
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].

I have always thought of Jean-Marc Belkadi as a
remarkable guitarist. He is definitely one of the finest
new upcoming Jazz Guitarist I've heard in years.
His technique is awesome. It's a matter of the public
catching up to what I've known for a long time.
He is all set to blow you away and his
CD Stopover is a must for all serious guitar fans.
