Okay, this is pretty cool...

John Mayer – I can never decide if I'm a fan of his or not. I like some of his music. Some of the times, he seems pretty cool, but other times, he comes off as douche-y. However, this thing that he did is damn cool!

The [11-year-old Austin Christy]'s dreams came true at a John Mayer concert in Philadelphia on Sunday night, when the celebrity singer-guitarist invited young Christy onstage to play a song in front of over 25,000 fans.

Mayer's gesture was prompted by his tween fan's clever attention-grabbing tactic. Austin, who says he's been practicing Mayer's songs for over two years, showed up at Sunday's show carrying a homemade sign that displayed a hand-drawn guitar and the plea "Can I play 'Belief" with you?" Mayer couldn't resist.

And Mayer didn't share just his stage with Austin. Afterwards, the multimillion-album-selling artist gave the boy the red Squier guitar and guitar picks that Austin had borrowed from Mayer for the performance.

Mayer signed the guitar's base: "To Austin, You rock. Keep playing. See you at your show."

I don't know if this was your intention, Mayer, but goodwill has definitely gone your way.
