And this gem is exhibit 1...

You may not know it, I am a huge John Mayer Fan. Sure his music is great (well superb actually, a truly great songwriter) but that's not why I think he's great.

He's great because he is a thinker, a student and has a true appreciation and deep thinking of the ART of being an Artist.

I put up a video of Warren Buffett earlier in the week and I think Mayer may be the Warren Buffett of Music

Stay with me....

Both are Students of fundamentals, I'd like to think that if i have a slight skill (sure sucking coffee up through a TimTam without breaking the cookie takes chops...but I digress) in identifying the common themes in everything.

Any breakthrough idea I have ever had has been one of transition - What if you took Real Estate Strategies and applied them to Buying and Selling web sites. What if you took the valuation principles of Graham and Buffet and applied them to web sites...

Transition of a fundamental is a smart thing to do.

Let's take Johns Lecture

It's BRILLIANT - if you know anything of music - he can encapsulate some core principles in a way that I have not heard expressed - Seven years of music theory training did not come even come close to the insights I received listening to this.

But that's not the best bit.

What if you applied the ART of transition and say swapped out songwriting and thought the art of copy, or marketing in a niche...

I GUARANTEE you will go WHOA!

And that's how you know someone is on point with  fundamentals. There are a dozen blog posts in this lecture - The Art and Science of Curiosity, The give and take of working with your audience (and let me tell you dear reader - we all work an audience...), Respecting the 1, The True Artists are Always Students,  What you can control...and more importantly what you can't, The Love of the Process, The crucial nature of design...

And I bet there's more....So at one level this is a fantastic lecture on songwriting... at another level it may be one of the better One and  a Half Hours you could ever spend...

Here is the link

John Mayer Berklee Lecture

Now here is the soooooo 2008 bit

How did a Mayer Fan in Melbourne Australia get hold of a lecture that occured in Berkelee less than 24 hours earlier...

Well I use Google reader to alert me to John Mayer news. So I knew John had given a lecture and I thought  - damn, I would have given my left testi....toe to be there.

Then a student called BASSGUY with an iPhone sat in the front row with an iPhone and recorded the whole thing, processed it (hey the audio is not great but boy it's well good enough) and uploaded it to the net. Another John Mayer blog linked to it - I downloaded it to my iPhone and listened to it driving around today - it was so good it even made me take a walk as an excuse to listen more.

That's why living in 2008 is not so bad after all.

I think I'm going to write a song now.

I'm thrilled to be working with Paul Colligan on this and each week we will have guest helping us on the panel. While Paul is on his way back from the Big Seminar I thought given the current economic climate I'd throw this up here. It has been getting great comments on Immediate Edge

Now keep in mind this is an AAC file that will play beautifully through iTunes and your iPod/iPhone (i'm sure it will also play great in VLC media player)

I would love your feedback on this.
