thanks!

[cyanofelis]

Great video. I had almost gotten the hang of the song but was a little iffy about the strumming pattern. 1:00 to 1:14 put everything together for me. Now I can play it perfectly! Thanks!

[pashtettRB]

Man, this is simply awesome!

[ulfpulf]

Thanks for the instruction video - you have nailed it but I still can't get it. He's actually strumming lightly with middle and index finger and at the same time slapping with the thumb so hard to get a click from the string hitting the fret?

[malkdk]

what's the tune you play at 4:42? it sounds really good!

thanks for your video! i'm just learning the basic chords and strumming patterns of this song still, so i think i'll wait with the slapping and all that. but it's nice to have an idea of what's going on.

[MRguitargod96]

no no no! i et annoyed on this like yes theres a diff way john mayer plays and its awsome but this is to much like videos on how to play it? i mean watch one video if you can do it great if not then thats that like you can either do it or you cnt

Great , let met get this straight because I'm not sure.

1 ) Pinch' the D chord, so just play it.

2 )Slam your thumb down on the D string and at the same time flick your index finger down... so.. I slam my thumb down on the D string, so my index should hit the G and B right? because we are muting the high E? This means I have to train my index finger to hit the G string really precise because it's after the D. ( Which I hit with my thumb) Very detailed and close stuff, am I right? Thanks again!

[ThomasMotion]

@ThomasMotion So please let me know because I can't figure it out with the video!

1) Chord

2) Thumb + Index raking G and B?

3) Up with 3 fingers... etc etc

?
