How to Use Web 2.0

Musician John Mayer

John Mayer is an accomplished guitarist. He has been recording albums since 2002. He plays a blues / rock style that is wonderful if you love old school rock guitar work. John is taking full advantage of web 2.0 exposure. I have found him present on 11 sites that promote, play and sell his music. John’s target audience is people who love hard core blues rock guitar. I purposely did not put an age range on this. While I was searching the facts on John Mayer on the web, I found that my niece is also a fan of John Mayer. She is a freshman in college and I am not! She’s not yet 20 and I just turned 60. So I can draw the conclusion that good music can transcend age boundaries. Based on what I have found I think John is making good use of web 2.0 features to promote his music. These images were barrowed from John's Facebook page.

As one of few musicians to achieve both critical acclaim and popular appeal, the seven-time Grammy Award winner has earned accolades for each album release while selling in excess of 17 million albums worldwide.

Known as a musician who defies genre boundaries, John Mayer is well known for collaborations with a range of artists. From rock to blues, hip-hop to jazz to country, Mayer has performed and/or recorded with Eric Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Burnett, Herbie Hancock, Dixie Chicks, Jay Z and Alicia Keys.
