Although John Mayer is best known as a singer-songwriter in the soft rock and blues genres, he is not afraid to experiment and collaborate in different genres. Five years ago, Mayer even had a guest spot on Frank Ocean’s breakthrough record, Channel Orange.
Now, Mayer proves his guitar-playing skills are more adaptable than audiences previously knew. On Thursday, the musician posted a short video clip to his Instagram page showing Mayer crafting synth-like notes and beats using only an electric guitar. Mayer captioned the video as, “Live EDM.”
