  • dude, find me some hot blonde aussies to eat out, will ya?

  • i need lowng fingersch for tha birdge :((( fml

  • Im gonna ask my guitar teacher for this one. The problem is that the bridge cant be played with a capo....

  • You're the first nzer ive seen here, woah :p

  • so how do you drop D ??

  • @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!

  • john mayer's sooooo good writing a song with this pretty complicated chords!

  • i'm really trying. but i don't understand one word af anything you're saying. sorry mate

  • hey man, could u post the tapping method at 5:26 and have a tutorial for it.i was a little abstract. could u do a solid teaching on that one?

  • Is it me or is there no chorus? :D thnx for the tut anyway!

  • @Staying1nTune It's the same as the verse.

  • Awesome lesson. Everyone watch it again and turn the captions on. They're so wrong its funny.

  • thanks man. this is great

  • @aaronsworldz, could you send me that list? I'm looking to expand mine :D

  • @aaronsworldz rofl!

  • @aaronsworldz my dick loves the reaction of the bitches to this song

  • @aaronsworldz

    could you send it to me???Or publish it, everybody needs Groupies ;-)

  • @aaronsworldz fill me in on some

  • Hey, this is really a good lesson. Thanks a lot - you got me learn to play one of John's great songs.

  • mmm.. could you make one with better quality please?... I can barely see anything... plus, I don't know what tabs or frets are..lol

  • @hawaiiancerveza well if you don't know what tabs or frets are specially frets you should put your guitar down

  • 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.

  • lol I could care less for your opinion of the difficulty of the song drive...lol

  • 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

  • i like a challenge. Whats wrong with that? and because I just got a guitar it means I can't look at a vid?...lol

  • 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.

  • @lillylienxo this song is not hard at all, it's really one of his easiest. if you wanna see difficult, listen to neon.

  • @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

  • @Pwn3d360 damn you are right man...! neon its really really hard...!

  • @Amunguiaful it honestly took me a month and a half to perfect the live in la version, but it's so worth it.

  • @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!!!!!

  • Thx for the vid !

  • Awesome Tutorial, but you forgot to name the two chords you used on the bridge?...

  • if i discovered someone discovering me, i'd call the police.

  • dude you're awesome I've been trying to learn this song forever! thanks sooo much

  • please do a tutorial for tracing by john mayer!!

  • well done kiwi mate

  • another tip for some people it may be easier to use your thumb for the bass notes then you won't really have to bar :)

  • very cool

  • Comment removed

  • my fingers suck for barring =/

  • so you your ring finger and your pinky..

  • it's just practice... :D

  • thanks man life saver i performed this yesterday and i couldnt nail the solo part but thnx to u i learnt it ur a legend :)

  • in the intro he even goes to a Fmaj7th and slides back into d intro

  • this guys is great.

  • your accent rocks man

  • 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.

  • Thank you so much!

    this helped a lot

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • great video thanks...

  • ei, cn u snd the tabs to me..plsss tnx

  • thanks mate

  • would you be able to give me tabs?

  • go to the website he provides on the video dummy

  • wow men...that's really great...i got some of the parts but i suck on the 2nd bridge. anyway, good job

  • r u aussie????

  • no he's jamaican

  • Comment removed

  • New Zealander.

    When he says "website" you can differentiate between what makes an Aussie accent and a one from NZ.

    He pronounces the word "web" like "weeb."

    Aussies don't don't that.

  • Thnaks!!!

    Ur AWSOME!!!

  • from one nzer to another great tutorial

  • Rally nice to see whichs notes to play,

    But would be nice with a strum tutorial for this as well :)

  • LOL at ur expression whn u had the "?"

    Otherwise excellent tutorial.

    Perhaps a bit more explanation on how to hit the beat... i just cant get it working to sound like urs

  • i dont understand the 2nd bridge... could you help me plz? =//

  • Thanks...

    Great tutorial helped me a lot to play this song and to understand the tabs.

    Hope you post a tutorial to

    This will all make perfect sense someday

    :P

    thanks nice videos.

  • Not bad.

    Guitar aint properly tuned but hey,

    You did a good job

  • thank you i had alot of confusion about the best way to use my fingers and youve cleared it up

  • THE BEST tutorial for this song!!!

  • "on the tint fret"

  • hey the tab link is broke can i get an updated one???? It would be helpful

  • oh lol my strings just snap out of my hand what the hell ill buy a new one ^_^ LOL

  • i dont get the tuning part

    do we have to tune it differently?

  • 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 the D you DO use to tune to drop D...the D string open.

  • So I got got my guitar. It's a bit old. What if I can't get E to drop to D?

  • you need a better guitar

  • i loled ahaha... epic line,

    "you need a better guitar"

    never fails i gotta agree with you on this one ahaha

  • you tune the low E string down to a D mate.

    the guitar should be fine, you just need to learn the notes.

  • yes. to drop d tuning. tune down the low e string which is the thickest string to sound like the d string.

  • You don't have to... You can play it in standard but there is a much harder stretch on the low E string.

  • But thats only if you wanna play the beginning part. lol

  • thnx alot u helped me alot

  • the link to those tabs is dead

  • LMAO 2:16 almost made me choke on my soda

  • This is awesome thx!

  • what's the tune? EBGDAE?

  • DADGBE

  • you make it look easy, you bastard.

    seriously tho thank you.

  • a mistake on part2 bridge part. u meant ur pinky on the D string? i got a bit confused but now it sounds rigght to me

  • 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!

  • that helped tonnes! thanks man

    could you do 'not myself' by john mayer? would be awesome if you could!

  • YEAH KIWI PRIDE BRO!!!

  • YOU ARE SO CUTEEEEE!

  • good vid but i think ur thumb slaps were to hard

  • just fuk up would ya thats being padantic

  • Gonna Conquer my girl with this one thanx :]

  • Hey man when you bar the fret are you holding the strings really really hard? Because I cant stop getting vibration and the notes twang.

  • it might just be your guitar and/or strings, you shouldn't have to bar with too much tension in your fingers

  • cheers mate, that was very helpful :)

  • i think no ones gonna be able to tab that solo ever, no one but john myer LOL

  • try it Ryanscott816 ... good job NZCOOPS 5*
