    I can't be the only person who has listened and listened to this song in awe and seeing it as an unclimbable mountain. After watching this video, that summit suddenly seems in reach. Nothing for it but to get stuck in! Thank you very much indeed.

    John Mayer makes it look deceptively easy to sing and play at the same time. I find it utterly impossible.

    • @Bastian-Walters
      @Bastian-Walters 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      yea it takes lots of practice i would advise to learn the song till you could almost dream it and then try to put the singing in

    • @billyturbert7629

      With practice, there is progress. I used to think same thing but can sing and play some relatively difficult songs now 🥳

      John Mayer also went to berklee and can dedicate entire days to playing guitar to improve.

    Thank for this. I am an acoustic guitar player and vocalist. I use this rhythm for several songs I do, but the nice left hand groove is something I will use in lots of other songs that I do. Really like the John Mayer series. He’s an under appreciated guitarist. Between Gravity, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and this one, it’s a great series.

    Justin thank you so much for this one! Back when John Mayer released this song i IMMEDIATELY kept coming back to your channel waiting for a lesson (i tried learning it on my own but couldnt figure out all the tid bits). AND FINALLY YEARS LATER YOU COME IN TO SAVE THE DAY. thank you!
    i would make a lesson request but god dammit you've done covered every song i could imagine i'd want to learn. lol

    First off, I adore you, not only as an AMAZING guitar player, but also as a human being.
    That aside, I have a request, can you PLEASE do some more lessons from 'The Shins' and 'Radiohead'.
    Both of them are my absolute favourite bands and I'd be overwhelmed with sheer ecstasy if I could play them. :))

    John Mayer played it on a small body guitar , which is easier for fretting hand , and this dude did it on a full size dreadnaught ,a point to be duly noted. Good job sir.

    Hi Justin, great video! I learned it wrong, ofcourse JM used a Hendrix 1st C inversion. On TH-cam, Mayer has the Queen of California video (same video style as this song) where he plays this G-lick on the end. He alternates fast between his thumb and index finger. Any video/tips on how to learn this technique? Thanks
