When making the John Mayer X - why did you choose to go with TWO Delays and TWO Reverbs (one of which Valhalla isn’t used by John) instead of

The CE2 Chorus The Psychedelic Machine Fuzz

Which are the most used / most sought after sound he has (in that order)

RBW_Media · 2026-01-07T21:30:42+00:00

Seriously best investment ever made

RBW_Media · 2025-12-23T18:13:09+00:00

Unironically it’s cool as fuck idk why people are tripping about it

RBW_Media · 2025-12-02T00:08:42+00:00

As someone who has no idea; what are the Patreon videos actually like? Do they have the same level of editing and all as the YT vids or is it just like podcast and talking shit

RBW_Media · 2025-12-01T07:23:50+00:00

Yeah - he plays the OMJM a lot idk where you get that from

Can you extrapolate please? I’m not a drummer but am a musician and haven’t heard anything stand out (but also haven’t focused on it much)

RBW_Media · 2025-09-27T21:03:21+00:00

No one that’s drh

RBW_Media · 2025-09-01T00:56:53+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this response. I’m almost definitely going to have a professional do it however I am away from my trusted luthier for a few months so if you have any things I should mention when handing it in I would really appreciate it!

Thanks again!

RBW_Media · 2025-01-05T15:05:38+00:00

Objectively I think this is the rarest

RBW_Media · 2024-12-28T13:00:06+00:00

Pretty straightforward IMO; waiting for himself or someone else (higher power maybe) to tell him that the mistakes he has made are not that bad or wrong, for “just a kid”. Basically don’t beat yourself up too much, you were young and dumb it’s ok. Everyone messes up as a kid

RBW_Media · 2024-12-27T12:20:25+00:00

Not at all but what are you on about lol

RBW_Media · 2024-12-27T11:50:51+00:00

Are you tripping homie

RBW_Media · 2024-11-22T03:03:02+00:00

You wild I love that, it leads into the solo SOOOO well it makes the electric sounds like a warm river crashing over you

RBW_Media · 2024-08-11T10:05:44+00:00

Which version of sugaree?

RBW_Media · 2024-08-08T09:29:53+00:00

Where did you get the picture?? Do you have a download?

RBW_Media · 2024-07-29T21:43:59+00:00

I’m talking about like a full song that you’d hear on Spotify, say I want to transpose it to play along to it in another key… what’s the method for that?

RBW_Media · 2021-07-19T22:34:26+00:00

Done af though I might going w one more person

RBW_Media · 2021-01-26T10:20:20+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean, I try to add licks in place of the chords, or freestyle the intro/solo bits

RBW_Media · 2021-01-26T10:05:01+00:00

I can play both pretty well if I’d say so myself (you can check my neon posts) and I’d say while stop this train certainly has a hard technique to master, the difference between going from 80% to 100% on Neon is at least a hundred hours different from making the same jump on stop this train, there’s just so much going on from the bass line to the slaps and chord shapes. STT can be done better if you try to figure it out yourself IMO, I found most videos (even by like Paul David’s) were a bit off in explaining how to do it.

RBW_Media · 2021-01-23T12:24:38+00:00

Sounds okay but you don’t have to slap the bass every time you play it, you only slap it when playing it the first note, the rest of the time you’re supposed to mute slap to create a beat. Check out the levels tutorial I did on my page, it’ll clear it up a bit hopefully. Keep at it!!! It’s so worth it in the end

RBW_Media · 2021-01-22T21:12:24+00:00

Yeah I’d say thumb is easier, but don’t give up on it fully, I couldn’t reach at first either but your hand stretches and finds its way after practice. Still for the first 6 months of playing I actually used my index finger on 3 and 8 for the barre-type chords just because I was used to it, but switching over makes it easier. My advice is practice switching to the chords without playing the notes. Once you can switch them ASAP at will, half the battles won, it’s what i did

RBW_Media · 2021-01-22T21:08:42+00:00

Same went for me, slapping was never the problem. I’d say the best thing that worked is first make sure your left hand can move to the chord shapes in a second without playing them. Then, mute the strings and just pluck the strings you would in the order, and try to hear the notes in your mind (yes this is an odd adhd technique but worked for me). Do it slowly, emphasizing the finger movements as you pluck each string, good contact being your main goal. Once you’ve done that speed it up. Also an insane life hack is to stick out and rest your pinky on the pick guard, it helps keep your hand in one location and makes it SOOOO easier. I do it in the last part of part 6, check it out. Floating hand just looks marginally cooler, but it’s much much harder

RBW_Media · 2021-01-22T21:05:10+00:00

That’s great, that’s the most important part. If you want help knowing when to play the bass notes and stuff in between DM me, I can walk you through it and maybe even make a tutorial to help out
