If you think this sound a little funny....It's because the base E string should be dropped to C. That's the only mistake I can find....other than that it's right on.
drop the low E string to a G
it's easier to play by dropping the low E to a B
:)
Easier said than done, can any body break this technique down for us?
how can he do that ?
it's incredible...
c mon dieu, ce mec ,vivmen que quel'qu'un puisse m'expliquer comment c'est possible de faire ce qu'il fait . .
ce rythme est vraiment super entraînant.
il le joue super vite.
J'ai vraiment hâte qu'il passe en france.
I can play this tab... et je suis seulement onze. which note should be E dropped to?
hahahahah
like he said dropping the E to a B is a lot easier. I haven't even had to use my thumb at all just weird bar chords. I'm not going to go into it, but for the intro, the bar chords are on the 1st fret, then the 4, the 6th, and 9th, just sound it out.
oops and then a chord on the 11th fret
U can not play the song with a low B unless you play the song a half step lower. Because the song is played in C minor and the very first note john mayer plays is a low C. It would not make any sense to play the song in C minor if you had a B in the bass. hope I did not offend anybody. But it just common theory. If you are going to play a song in C minor, the bass note should be C unless the music says other wise which it doesn't.
yeah guys, i look at this tab for a long time, and finally just convinced myself to sit down and learn it, took a damn long time, and i had only played for 2 years at the time. Its worth it though, really fun to jam to.
ps. hope you have long fingers and a very strong pinky, :P
I was wondering if the neon tab is the only tab we are alowed to talk about. Because we could talk about oter john mayer things if anyone wants to. just put in a subject and we will discuss or argue or whatever.
Is there any benefit to fretting the low C with your thumb? I came up with easier fingerings using my pinky or some other finger instead of my thumb, i can't play the song as fast as john mayer yet though, will it still sound as good?
this song is crazy lol... its a toughy just takes time good luck guys, JOHN MAYER KICKS ASS!!! haha
This song is played on a 7-string, I don't have one but I've seen John play it
