I just realized that the Triplets at 7:20 are all done with the thumb.He is either doing an upstroke with the thumb or (more likely) a sweep down to the next muted string with the thumb. I have to check this out and fix the tutorial.

4:56 "get some ears people." i freaking love that

@AndrewDavisMusic

Ack.. it sounds bad to say but it's a pet peeve of mine.

Check this blog posting out on the subject of people's inability to discern notes and timing on this tune. zartimus.blogspot.com/2010/12/­john-mayer-live-intro-to-neon-­from.html

It's brutal.

Hi Zartimus, thanks a lot for the nice tutorial. You have got some teaching skills, right there! What kind of strings do you use? I'm gonna break my thumbs on this one...

[Zartimus]

@jellederijke Thanks. I use 13-56 Medium Gauge: .013 .017 .026 .035 .045 .056. Usually D'Addario or John Pearse Bronze. That's not my main guitar. I can't use my other one for tutorials because it has a longer scale length and I don't tune it above 1 step below standard.I use the same gauge strings on it.

[jellederijke]

@Zartimus Nice, I play with .013 as well.. most players don't really like it. Mostly Elixir coated or Ernie Ball Earthwood. I play a Blueridge, looks a bit like a triple O and a Tanglewood. Playing my Gibson LP after practicing this song feels smooth like butter, everything is just so much easier on electric! Do you play electric as well?

[Zartimus]

@jellederijke Yup. I'm primarily an electric player. I like Yngwie and Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, Vai, Satch, Eddie....

[godpassion827]

AWESOME!!! Please add the solo part!!! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a tutorial like this, you rock!!!! : )

[Zartimus]

@godpassion827 The Middle section tutorial is being uploaded now. Should be there in a few hours.

Thanks for the kind words.

[shaunlawler]

You sir are a legend!

Now if you could tab out the solo to gravity from WTLI on acoustic...I would be in awe! :P

[Zartimus]

@shaunlawler

I like the fact he uses an electric guitar on that track! ;-)
