This is a very difficult song to play. I've been practicing about 3 hours now and i'm half way through the d turn around chords. John Mayer's style is very difficult to grasp in the beginning but i sure am getting it.
Man, i was getting so annoyed cause i couldn't get the rhythm of the song and the palm muting, and then i came to your video and you explained it perfect. I really appreciate it.
I just returned to this song and this video after a year of not working on it. I’m blown away again by how well you play this and what a great teacher you are. Thank you again for doing this. It’s really helping us to enjoy this song.
Since positing this, I've learned a few more nuances of how John plays it. Yes, he does slide on the low E string on the opening riff, but this seems like the only time he does it. Throughout the song he doesn't appear to slide. When playing the solo, he also slides with his ring finger when transitioning from 7th - 9th fret.
Heyo! This is killer. Getting back in after almost 10 years of not playing (went to music school straight out of high school). Also in the city, would love to chat about lessons.
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Glad I could help. If anyone in the NYC area is looking for lessons, or help working on John Mayer songs, inbox me.
Hey man, awesome video! I'm looking for a few pointers to take my playing to the next level. I'm also in the city; shoot me an email jongilmusician@gmail.com I'd really appreciate your input.
I'm sooo happy I found your tutorial man ! I was trying to slow down the original video to 0.50x to figure it out and then I found yours!!! Much easier :) And great job.. by far the closest to the original!
Thanks so much for uploading this! I find it greatly obnoxious when people give a tutorial and show you the chords and notes and maybe even the rhythm but they don't mention the subtle things about the song that are really what give it so much character and set it apart from the things we've heard before. Again, much appreciate this! :)
Thankyou so much for doing this tutorial! I watched all the others and learnt it the 'wrong' way and just couldn't figure out that rhythm so thanks for doing it properly!
In the beggining the original song sounds really easy, I had no idea it was so difficult, thanks for the video it's a great lesson, I cannot wait to start practicing it.
Nice man! You really got the feeling of the riff down well! And you nailed that last, sweet-home-alabama-sounding, part of the solo, that I really messed up. :) Great work!
Nice!! Thanks for the great lesson. As a beginning guitarist I appreciate you imparting your skill and knowledge for all of us students of the guitar. Keep em coming!
so cool! I want you as a teacher! I recently started to play the guitar and so don't know how to practice basic trainings. If you have time to upload these kind of things , I will be so happy to keep practicing. If I lived in America, I could go to see your lesson. Unfortunately, I am in Japan now. Anyway, Thank you very much for your nice guitar play!!!
Also, watched some of your other videos, you have improved tremendously in 4 years (not that you sounded bad). Wanted to let you know because your progress certainly shows :)
useful thanks, i keep watching john play this an im convinced he slides back from a t g on the e string at the end of main riff. he does it by sliding a to a flat then the g over the top with the thumb, it's terrifically deft. without that g sound getting in there the tune just feels wrong, it is fantastically heard to do
Hey man great video..really helpful...wondering if you could post a video on how to play properly hot tuna's hesitation blues?? A tough song for me and seeking help!
Guys I’m joust going to make a video about how all the other videos are wrong and that this video about how wrong the other videos are will show you how wrong those other videos are about being wrong. So here we go and if you watch this video you’ll know I watched all the videos and those videos are wrong as well... don’t forget to like and subscribe
Hey this is a great help really appreciate it! I was wondering if you might be willing to record the whole song but just at a slower tempo, that would help tremendously! Thanks!
Dude this is amazing and you play it so smoothly. You should do a lesson on strumming smoothly cause I'm just so rigid with strumming no matter how much I try and loosen my wrists. What kind of pick do you use here?
do you still have your strat and two rock? Would be awesome to hear full JM continuum covers! thanks for this tutorial! I am eyeing a Two rock Classic Reverb too. Do you think it brings out the JM tone?
Exactly what I was looking for. A tutorial on the FEEL and rhythm.
As close to the original arrangement as I've seen - and very well explained too. Great job.
Your approach to all this and consideration for us and our possible shortcomings is just what we need man. Thank you.
This is a very difficult song to play. I've been practicing about 3 hours now and i'm half way through the d turn around chords.
John Mayer's style is very difficult to grasp in the beginning but i sure am getting it.
Amazing….just digging into this as I’m ready for that next level polish. Great work here. And thank you for putting this out there !
Thanks for the kind comments everyone..

Yes, I used a pick and so does Mayer.
Copy cat : )
I've got issues, because I've got giant hands and my thumb is too long to press the G, any other options?
@@JacobDalgaard you can hold your palm longer down on your guitar neck

Hey this is a great help really appreciate it! I was wondering if you might be willing to record the whole song but just at a slower tempo, that would help tremendously!
Thanks!
How on earth do you play this and sing at the same time? Got any tips on that? Epic tutorial, thanks!
Nice 👍👍👍👍
Yes, I'll put up a better video soon.
This is the most accurate playing ive seen of this song! Thats eppic! Charge your cam and give us a slower breakdown.
great job dude
I learned the entire song except for those high notes in the outro and there's no good tabs, can anyone help me out?
zartimus has a good tab
So good ty so much! Truly AWESOME!
Dude this is amazing and you play it so smoothly. You should do a lesson on strumming smoothly cause I'm just so rigid with strumming no matter how much I try and loosen my wrists. What kind of pick do you use here?
Thank you !
You play on a Martin?? Sounds great, thank's again for this tutorial.
thank you bro this help me to much
Much respect brotha!
Thanks. Good details. I subscribed.
The best !!
First he plays A slide to B, D hammer E, then he plays A slide to B, skip the 5th string and play G hammer on A. Repeat twice for the opening riff.
do you still have your strat and two rock? Would be awesome to hear full JM continuum covers! thanks for this tutorial! I am eyeing a Two rock Classic Reverb too. Do you think it brings out the JM tone?
Thanks! That means a lot..
정말 좋아요😂
