John Mayer is one of the most polarizing figures in the modern guitar community, but there's one thing that he does that makes his solos undeniably great. Mayer knows how to leave space in his playing, phrasing like a vocalist or horn player, which makes his solos memorable and singable. Whether you love his style or not, most of us can't phrase on his level.
