great tutorial, but what are the finger placements for the breakdown when he is doing the strumming pattern similar to stop this train? I'm having a hard time figuring that part out.
can you explain finger position in bridge part 2, it sounds like youre saying ring finger on g but it looks like an A, then the rest please, good job by way
@wilsonteh910916 I got a simple way to do it if you tune your E-string with placing your finger on the 5th fret. Instead of doing that place your finger on the 7th fret and make it sound like it would on the 5th fret. When you do that it will now be dropped down to D.. Easy and simple!
nobody who picks up their guitar for the 1st time knows that stuff. yet there are ppl who can just hear the song and play them... what do you say to those ppl who are just talented like that? like just from watching I learned the beginning of Drive....go shoot yourself
@hawaiiancerveza of course no one who picks up the guitar for the first time knows that. and yes there are many people who can pick up a guitar and play just by hearing a song.... but you're not one of them. Wow Drive really hard song. congrats.
who says they don't look at how other ppl may play? now your just being naive...lol all ppl who play look at others to see how they may do certain things... you sound like a noob... worse than I do. I can admit I don't know these things yet you just stated something a kindergardener would say... weather iss on youtube or yahoo video... ppl will watch to see how someone plays something...
@ hawaiiancerveza maybe you shouldn't be watching this video then, if you picked up your guitar for the "1st time" cos this song is relatively difficult to play ... just sayin' ... not exactly the stuff for beginners
Well this video is aimed at people who can play guitar pretty well already because the song's pretty hard so i think you'd kinda be expected to know what tabs and frets are atleast.. And if you just got a guitar and look at this vid cos you like the challenge then look up tabs and frets yourself elsewhere although you should know that stuff if you wanna play guitar ...
yes i understand what your saying but I just wanted to see someone play the song and wanted to see what I could pick up by watching. I like a challenge and my friend is teaching me cords. I am picking up things here and there about the notes and tabs and frets.
@Pwn3d360 Yeah, i'm well aware, my comment was actually in reply to some beginner who complained about the tutorial not being clear enough when in actual fact they just weren't competent enough to play this song
@lillylienxo absolutely right, I cant understand that there are some fuckin idiots, which give thumps down for your comment. THIS SONG IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!!!!
thank you soo much bro you save my day now i know how to play this song because of you thanks its more difficult to play this song guys you really need to focused.
You should also drop the HIGH E string to D. This seems to be what Mayer does if you look at the video. It also makes it a lot easier to play the bridge correctly. Tuning should be DADGBD.
yea so loosen your 6th E string to a D. Remember to LOOSEN it, if you tune it too much to hit the D (like the 4th string D) it could snap the string! (which is very scary)
the f**cking thumb during the bridge is frustrating me so much! i have learned the hardest chords and worked through them until my muscle memory kicks in, but I physically cannot do this!
Could you please go over the second bridge in detail with picking patter and chords. Thanks

If you're having trouble with the 2nd bridge like I was, Pause it at 3:36 and look where he puts his pinky. Then is should start sounding better.
