The 23-time Grammy-winning rapper moved past Quincy Jones, who has been nominated 80 times.Īward to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s) and mastering engineer(s), if other than the artist.īenny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, producers Benny Andersson & Bernard Löhr, engineers/mixers Björn Engelmann, mastering engineer I'll post some pics soon, hopefully.Jay-Z, who was nominated for three Grammys on Tuesday, now has the most nominations of all time with 83. The neck is Brazilian Rosewood and the tuning pegs are Ebony. It's a semi-hollow body, electric guitar, with book matched curly maple front and back, in a natural finish (no stain). It came with a letter to John Mayer's agent in New York, with the shipping info, etc., with a notation (coded) that said - "Artist Special Order - JM." Well, this weekend, I was given this gorgeous thing of beauty, which I now proudly call my own. Paul agreed to give him the guitar instead. When Mike heard that JM had ordered and played the guitar, but ultimately wanted something slightly different and sent it back, he jumped on it. But finding a spot on the custom schedule can, at times, be difficult, especially when he's not a paying customer. Mike had been promising to get me a guitar for years. Well, long short long, the guitar was not up to John's liking - he wanted a darker finish. John said yes and gave the custom shop the specs.

About 8 or 10 years ago, the guitar luthier Paul Reed Smith found himself in the company of my brother in law as a result of the sickness of one of his close relatives. Assisting people through such emotionally trying times creates instant bond between people sometimes. So, pretty much, every day, people are dying around him. It's kind of a downer job - he assists families through the death of their loved ones. My brother in law works at Johns Hopkins in the oncology ward doing patient's last days liaison work. a John Mayer Trio disk.Īlright - my cool JM story. I think it will help him sell his blues stuff, there being less confusion about what you're buying when you pick up a John Mayer disk vs. It's an interesting branding move - the Trio is. You get all three incarnations of the John Mayer experience - his solo, acoustic act (wherein lie his roots), his Trio ensemble, which is a very accomplished blues/classic rock effort and his full, live band. The show, needless to say, was pretty phenomenal. I found the direction to be really great. It was filmed with a real film camera, as opposed to digital. Where the Light Is was recorded in LA last Winter (Dec.
