    @jakesimmons815 Well most people dont graduate from berklee unless they want to teach. Most people go te berklee not only for the education but for the contacts out there. All of my buddies and myself never graduated. We got offered killer opportunities through different people doing various things for good money. But yeah, it was like 16,000 a semester when I went. Very pricey.

    @libertyfalls berklee is cool but you gotta be top of the class to really get the full effect of the school and its a quarter million dollars for 4 years.
    you can go to small conservatories and they can do fine.
    but if you got the cash, have at it

    @radiohm3 Dont listen to that dude. The slap/pick thing is a bitch. Not impossible, but its hard to get down.

  11. gregg441 Says:

    @radiohm3 then spend more than half an hour working on it. its not hard at all

  12. radiohm3 Says:

    I’m a huge fan of Mayer, his signature move (the slap/pick) is way too hard to learn it

  13. GoingCamando20 Says:

  15. dr6926 Says:

    That was some funny stuff. He is such an amazing musician.

  16. libertyfalls Says:

    @Rozq87 Yeah, he only dates A list celebrities.

  17. Rozq87 Says:

    He is freaking intelligent, talented, funny and I presume handsome as well. Girls love him don’t they?

  18. libertyfalls Says:

    @Alwayseatseconds SInce he went to berklee probably standard figured bass notation with extensive knowledge of traditional and jazz music theory. Including modes, scales, etc. The great thing about berklee is they have separate classes for blues, jazz, progressive etc. So they can teach you applied theory in that specific genre. They also focus heavily on commercial music. Berklee is the place to be.

  19. Alwayseatseconds Says:

    what kind of theory does he know?? is it nashville number system?? or what
    the just modes and all that??
