- Thanks to 89jakkis for pointing this version out. This tutorial is based of the acoustic version of Belief found here:

This tutorial goes into a lot of detail and may be slow for some. It has the Intro/verse, chorus, pre-chorus, awesome solo part, a link to a PDF of my tab as well as onscreen TAB in the video itself.
Guitar TAB PDF here: bit.ly/Belief-TAB
The TAB is of the performance, occasionally the video instruction differs due to the fact that Mayer changes up a lot on the fly. Some of these bits are explained in the tutorial.
Enjoy. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I love how you're also teaching the theory behind the chords. Thank you for that!
9 years later but just wanted to comment this is an excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Millions Thanks for all the JM videos youve made!
You're the man for tabbing out that solo!! I watched john play that solo so many times trying to figure it out but couldn't do it! Thanks!
Man, i've already seen almost 4 of your John Mayer's lessons and man, thank u for that. Keep with that!!
And sorry for my english, i'm brasilian haha
This deserve waaaaayyyy more views. Cheers man
holyyyyy shit you are a life saver. I spent 3 hours watching and taking note of the main video in slow motion and only got through the first 45 seconds. Great learning but this vid is a saver! You are why youtube exists!
I was really hoping that someone could make a tutorial video of his acoustic version!U're the man! Thanks a lot!!!! Hope that u can upload more!!!!! Thanks again!!!!
Thank you for you're hard work tabbing this out.
THANK YOU! Been looking for a tutorial on this since i didnt manage to pull it off on my own, once again - THANK YOU. Great job, keep it up!
You are a god, thank you so much for this video. I love that you like John Mayer so much! Personally I think that he is one of the best guitarists of our generation. This tutorial is perfect, thanks tons!
Thanks for the kind words. I teach how I'd like to be taught. Booya!
THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!!!
Isn't John Mayer only strumming in the video you showed?
John is using a pick
This was the Video I was searching for thank you!
Good stuff!
Amazing.Thank you very much.
Thanks for the video, your tutorials are always great! For the intro: I was wondering why you suggest swapping from 4th finger to 3rd finger for minor and major chords respectively? Is there a reason you can't just use the 3rd finger for both and avoid switching? Apologies if you answer this later or someone has already asked this!
Kiron Koshy I don't recall exactly why at this moment (if you give me a timestamp I could tell you) but it would be either because Mayer and his giant monkey fingers do it that way, or it leaves you open to the next fingering in an easier manner. In the end if you can make the chord transitions sound good and on time, whatever way you choose works the best for you is fine and good.
Very good job ! Thank you
Excelente video-aula Professor! Parabéns!=D
Thank you so much! I learned a lot of stuff from that! :D
thanks so much ! good lesson !
On the way.
Thank you for the tutorial
I think I know what you mean. I've modified my recording techniques since this one.
I'm well aware of that. I say it in the video do I not? If I was re-doing it today I'd do so with a pick but back then I was still in the everything with the fingers mindset. Now I'm hip to the best of both worlds.
Awesome! Feel the love!
really cool... thank you
Best tutorial ! And mainly, you're the only man to make tutorial of special version song of John Mayer like this, "Belief" acoustic! Or "Your body is wonderland" grammy version.. Or Clarity VHO sessions.. again :)
Obviously don't stop your vids.
From France ! :)
Hey, totally right on the Csus2. He's barring it with his 1st finger and that is just a pinky flail I mistook for a fretting. That explains why he's fretting the C with his 2nd finger (I though he was having a Paul Gilbert moment). Good call on the vibrato too. I'll see about posting an annotation and fixing the tab.
Thanks! Good feedback (but I disagree with the pick VS fingers. It can be done)
I added an annotation for a change in fingering in the chorus. Same notes different fingering. It's at 14:30 or so.
Cheers!
In terms of John's picking version, do you know what technique he's using to mute? Is he palm muting every time or is he muting specific strings with his left hand?
He's muting specific strings wth his left hand!
i need to know how to do the strumming
thank u so much!!!!!!
If the tabs were place in the corner would be great, in the middle is a bit distracting. but all and all its an excellent tutorial!
i might have to get surgery for a thumb extention
wow thanks!
5:16 - Pre-Chorus
this video is really good!!!
you're awesome~~~
Thank ชอบคุณ
can we use. a pick in this tutorial
Yes, he used one in this version of the song. I should have stated that. This one's an old video.
I cant believe Luke Wilson just taught me a John Mayer song.
Thank for the lesson. Sadly i don't think anyone will be able to get any much fluidity out of this song using 2 finger plucking. You won't have the crisp attack or the consistant mute strums that really adds to the rhythm of this song in this version. In the beginning of the pre-chorus the Gminor he throws vibrato on the bottom 2 notes and the c Sus2 deally in the chorus he plays the 2nd on the g string. I envy John's thumbs so much :(

I like this one too man but just not really good at explaining it. I want to learn these specific versions but I wish you’d tell us which strings and frets to slide into instead of tabs. You’re a great player

Haha! :) Yeh good one. Hopefully with the feedback you have received on here you will adjust your length of time to explain the chunks of a song. :) Too long bro.
Hey look! A tidal wave.
Saul Goodman teaches guitar!
I know a guy who knows a guy who know another guy 😂
I guess I’m the only person who finds this difficult as hell to follow. I’ll just watch it a few more times I guess, maybe something will stick.
Hes using a pick.
Sadly i dont have the patients for this... something about your teaching style bores the hell out of me.
