Stop This Train

[Fleaon]

This song is soooooo hard

I still cant figure out how to do that thumb slap

[siksnowboarder]

tab?



[RoDiMoDi1122]

woooow where have you learned that i dont get the picking

[SirSmokeal0t]

Yeeaaah slap that bitch! Slap it good!

[DHANANJAY3200]

love you..

[Marky0Nott]

very good and a lefty its nice 2 see

[cyclonenimrod]

@boum2507 Fair enough, I was definitely the other way round :P

[KevinTheKraut]

Wow, IMPRESSIVE.

[1man2manynotes]

this is good but i wish someone would do a proper tutorial. everyone doing one on this song seems to rush it, and no one shows the picking pattern for the chorus which seems to change a little. it would be greatly appreciated if someone took the time to show in detail the chords and picking pattern

[tumnarat]

nice tune buddy.

[masterchief2442]

i can play neon but not this for some reason

[SkotNewbower]

that is pretty twisted.

[lucyc66]

i learned the intro to neon before i learned this too

[suchapityrs]

LOL fave song, nice

[GordonBombay66]

That was fucking sick. And I don't give compliments often, just look at my page, I hate everyone.

[undergroundblu]

verrry nice my friend..sounds sweet

[tjvk]

you sound really good! what kind of acoustic are you using??

[ShipRock04]

a johnson.

[CharlieChuno]

I've got a Johnson as well. Actually a great-around guitar. I take it to the beach, park, parties. Still sounds fairly good.

[SuuhvannahDuuuh]

from the looks of it

it seems like his songs SOUND more complex than they are

im sure im wrong tho

haha

but from here this song looks kinda easy once you remember it

[natetheflip]

dude... go out and try to play Neon. let's see how you hold up. I actually think 'Stop this Train' is harder than Neon. and Neon is pretty hard to get down.

[Levidamanguitar]

Its because of his stupid slap pattern..lol...it doesn't even make sense...which is what makes the song so unique in my opinion. I love Stop this train and Neon, 2 of Johns most creative songs.

[ballstaedt23]

hahah stop this train is not harder than neon

[cyclonenimrod]

Neon is a lot easier than this in my opinion, I got neon down in like two days, but this is taking agesss

[boum2507]

@cyclonenimrod not for me.....haha i found stop this train a lot easier than neon......

[WhenSamsAttack]

@cyclonenimrod

Then you're not playing it right.

[cyclonenimrod]

@WhenSamsAttack Which? I definitely play Neon right.

[hamzie11]

@cyclonenimrod if you play it the way mayertabs plays it then its not right.

[cyclonenimrod]

@hamzie11 I don't, but thanks...

[theguitartheif]

@cyclonenimrod no way this is way easy compared to neon. especially if you include the live in la intro to neon

[cyclonenimrod]

@theguitartheif Neon is piss compared to this; it's all in the technique. Obviously the live in la version is different and more challenging but the principle is the same. All in the slap.

[theguitartheif]

@cyclonenimrod i disagree but i can see your point. i play both pretty close to the way john plays it and i felt stop this train was easier. although the left hand in neon is much harder so that might be a partial reason.

[Jhonmayer1]

JESUS!

YES!

haha I think I've found a equivalent john mayer fan! haha!

awesome!

[JacShit4Pres]

Wow...You got mad skillz. Do your thang. Put some original pieces. It would be nice to hear your stuff.

[ahd03]

you could be as good as feist!!!!! keep up the great work!

[gtlearner]

i got everything down its just hard to slap and pick at the same time can ne one help

[kujofox]

your are soooooooooo good.

[lefftyguitar12]

thanks!

[PaulMSauce]

great thumb slapping i am very impressed

[lefftyguitar12]

thanks!

[TysonJeremy]

I want to marry you, be my bride

[lefftyguitar12]

lol =)

[teebearpicnic]

I'm sorry i didn't see that you also had a tutorial. I retract my last comment and thank you ma'am.

[teebearpicnic]

Alright lefty, you seem to have this down, John looks like he only uses his thumb and pointer finger for this song. Am I wrong? Are you using you're pointer and middle? This is one tough technique. Any help appreciated.

[EagleEyes09]

is this an original? sounds great

[lefftyguitar12]

nope, it's a cover..john mayer is the original.. thanks :)

[RawrCassandra]

woah, sounds exactly like the song

oh.. and it just stopped

lol

anyways.. sounds great =]

[blooWI]

big up to the left handers.

[guitar2adam]

[lefftyguitar12]

[isammygi]

[goodsinger]

wow, this is just great. Your timing is awesome and you can hear each note clearly...amazing. I wish you had the whole song though.

[lopoz]

Wow that sounds really great!!

What kind of guitar is that?

[lefftyguitar12]

It's a Johnson..not the best around but hey, it works good enough for me :) thanks for all the comments!

[lopoz]

[Bainer48]

damn you for playing this so good, damn you!

[asinajon]

[godofthesunn]

[gpbuldawg]

[Kedo4839]
