To ensure that he got formal training, Mayer's parents hired a guitar teacher. However, they soon discovered that lessons had become more like informal jam sessions. Disappointed, they discontinued the lessons and Mayer had to revert to playing guitar by ear. This turned out to be a good thing though, as his love for music only grew. By age 15, he was playing at local blues bars and fine-tuning his talent.

Others dig his white-boy-soul disposition. Whatever it is, Mayer has become the object of this urban beat generation's affection.
