I'm a big John Mayer fan. I love his playing and songwriting and simple, direct from the gut musicality. That's not to say that he's simplistic - he's definitely not. It's just that he's managed to do what many of the greats do and that is to present something complex and make it sound simple, earthy and straight from the heart. There is incredible technical prowess attached of course, but that is never what you'll hear. You hear the emotion and the heart of it.
Anyway... came across this video of the birth of the song "In Repair". This is a peep into the process, an afternoon of eavesdropping on what happens when you put three highly talented and creative musicians in a studio with nothing but some great gear and the goal of writing a song. (It's about 18 mins long, but very, very cool!)

Thanks for the link, Mark. What an inspiring video. I loved the drumkit, fantastic sound, so warm and natural.
And the bass/electric guitar. I have been eyeing a Dingwall bass for some months now (Novax fanned fret system), and to see the design in action was excellent.
Best regards from the growing Vermeulen family. Keeping you in our prayers.
