Mayer has spent the last few months writing material for Continuum and said he enjoys getting some one-on-one time with his own songs before anyone gets to hear them. "That's kind of like my freedom,” Mayer said. “It's kind of like the part for me that's really great because you know, when everybody is sharing my music -- and that's the goal -- is that as many people as possible listen to this music that I make -- it's really comforting for me to listen to the stuff that people haven't heard yet. That's mine still. That's like my friend. That's not everyone else's friend."
The John Mayer Trio will kick off a tour on September 6 in San Francisco. Mayer will also open up a few shows for the Rolling Stones this fall.
