        <![CDATA[ Hi,


I&#39;m all new to the electric thing...been playing acoustic many years, but now it&#39;s time for something new:-)


I bought a stratocaster and a fender deluxe reverb. How can I get the clean sound as JM(....and a lot of other artists) on songs like &quot; Another kind of
green, Everyday I have the blues, Bold as love etc. Does Mayer use pedals for that sound except the his Two Rock&#39;s?


Is a keeley katana boost useful for that? ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ To really nail Mayer you might also want to roll off the tone knob just until the high end &#39;bite&#39; smooths out (maybe down somewhere betwen 7 and 9.
you&#39;ll have to let your ear tell you when that top end smooths out). Mayer&#39;s clean is very mellow and rolling off the highs balances the sound betwen
the heavier and lighter strings. As for an overdrive, I don&#39;t think you can go wrong with an 808. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah, if you&#39;re wanting to play any sort of Mayer style or Strat blues style, you need a Tube Screamer of some kind. TS808, TS9, or something like that. A
delay pedal is a good piece to have for any guitar player as well. That should be a good place to start while you concentrate on your clean tone and technique. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ True that there are a bunch of smart players here.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve learned a BUNCH just by reading this stuff.  Like you, I used to only play acoustic, but last July I got my first strat and began the journey.  All it
takes is quality practice...

<br>
<br>
The tones in these songs are different. You should be fine getting the clean tone of Another Kind of Green with your setup and the switch on your guitar set in
between the Neck and Middle pickups (classic Mayer clean tone position)
<br>
<br>
Everyday I have the Blues is a pretty overdriven tone, with a tube... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The user on you tube mentioned he&#39;s playing a Fender Custom Shop 60&#39;s strat - look up what Fender puts in a Custom shop 60&#39;s strat and you&#39;ll
probably have your answer.

Handonam mentioned the pick ups. If you listen to this: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-nNv4JoLhQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-nNv4JoLhQ</a> any
idea of what pickup(s) used? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ the one thing that really got my cleans to work is with guitar pickups, then the amplifier.
<br>
<br>
although some will find the amplifier first, then the pickups.
<br>
<br>
<br>
but yea, you have to know about how to strike the strings in order to discover what the stratocaster gives you in return. i know it all sounds cliche, but
you&#39;ll find out you&#39;re good when you know how to make a bad amp sound good. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ clean should be as easy as plugging in your guitar straight to the amp...
<br>
<br>
to get mayer&#39;s clean you need a two rock and his hands, but you will get close with your deluxe. turn the bass up to 12, the mids down to like 6 or so, and
the treble at about 10. see how that works, and adjust from there. ]]></description>
