John Mayer masters the art of the meme
If Jimi Hendrix were part of the digital age, he surely would have done this. At a concert last week in Williamsburg — the Brooklyn, N.Y. one — John Mayer took a digital camera from someone in the audience and used it to play his guitar. Check out the 7:24 mark:
The New York Times noted this in its profile of Mayer on Saturday:
[Mayer] used someone’s digital camera as a guitar slide during a tremendous nine-minute version of “Gravity.” (Inevitably, the almost pornographically intimate footage ended up on YouTube, titled “John Mayer Live in Brooklyn — Uses My Camera to Play ‘Gravity.’ ”)

Views on YouTube as of now are just over 7,000. I’m sure that will skyrocket soon.
Brian Joseph Miller, your camera is a wonderland.
