Robert Gillies - John Mayer's Thumb

I was first introduced to John Mayer about 3 years ago and was promptly informed that he was able to play some pretty ridiculous stuff with the aid of his large hands - and so this song was born 2 summers later!

@joeybeesley Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had a fun time writing this one hehe

[sideburnsbob]

Thing is the stuff he's written with it has really evolved - and even though Stop This Train is actually quite simple ... his thumb seals the deal on it ... gargh
