Acoustic Guitar Lesson | John Mayer Finger Picking Technique

[MrAdamn333]

This maybe a dumb question. but when you hammer on to a Dsus4 I believe it is, what part of the picking technique is that? Is it the first mute/b string? Great lesson by the way

[pockthehairy]

can your guitar breath under that rag?

[GyungxChan]

awesome tutorial but all the tabs i find online doesnt workout for this style of finger picking for stop this train... could you give me the tab u use for this song? i would appreciate it. thanks

[Horan25]

awesome tutorial bud

[Nigeneration921001]

OMG thanks dude, you really helped me nail the pick and slap technique, awesome tutorial:D

[TheNarutocamp]

You're a fucking champion, I've been going through a bunch of videos trying to figure out how he plays a individual note and slap at the same time and none of them showed that you had to use your nails.

[lsafirkan]

why do you have a sock over your headstock ???? nice playing and good insstruction

[Dalrincon]

Brilliant! Thanks man! Do think 2nd chord is 0607 as malkdk says....

[malkdk]

btw, i'm pretty sure the second chord is 0607 and not 0707.

[malkdk]

god damn you're good! props from here. i hope i'll get as good as that one day.

thanks for the tutorial!

[matildaii96]

[fallingfromjupiter]

This is the one of the best finer picking techniques that you can use. I can't believe it isn't more widely known.

[harelzzz]

I have watched almost 10 tutorials before this one, none could teach me whta you taught me in 20 seconds.

the ONLY good tutorial for this technique..

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH! :)

[RyanMcVicker]

your technique is off, but close...

[vantagestudios]

@RyanMcVicker Please if you have a link to the proper technique let us know. This is a very thorough and cool tut but if there is another way please point the way?

[RyanMcVicker]

@vantagestudios it won't let me post the link... just search Stop This Train/Heart of Life Video Tutorial

[tommer]

[MrBaker101]

Hands down the best tutorial on youtube for this picking pattern. Shows exact pick and slap technique and which strings to pluck afterwards. Although, Mayer's other songs that apply the pattern require a slightly different picking structure, the technique remains the same. Excellent job, and now with some practice I feel like I can get this method down. Thanks!

[lsherms23]

this was absolutely incredible! thank you so much for posting this. best one on youtube by far!

[wonderbrey]

Best video I have seen to teach this by far. Thanks so much!

[kickboxing82]

Awesome lesson. Much apreciatted

[300sec2midnight]

thanks man. been wanting to get that right for ages. you're a good teacher. =)

[wacxcess]

Nice video man, but maybe you could add the rythem to it? like, first is a quarter note secondly two 8th notes and so and, and another question, why is there a sock over your guitar top? :) cheers! ;)

[MJV5254]

Nice job! You're a natural teacher.
