John Mayer - Crossroads guitar lesson

Around the release of 2009’s Battle Studies, John Mayer swung by the Guitar World studio to share the story behind the song and how he came up with its red-hot leads, as well as open up a grab bag of six-string japes. We’ve dug out this classic video lesson from that era, which kicks off with a bevy of Mayer zingers - including a shreds-worthy tapping performance and a shambolic Sweet Child O’ Mine - before he dons his wizened guitar sage hat to dish the dirt on the tune itself.
