How to play Heart of Life by John Mayer

If you need help with the picking/slap pattern there's a brief guide in the beginning of my Stop This Train tutorial:

Mayer plays this song in E flat tuning but I made this tutorial in standard tuning for your convenience.

thatnks sooo much man, this was really helpful, hey, if you don't mind me asking, What guitar are you playing?

[flamingnostrils]

@kaimua Glad I could help! The guitar is a Yamaha FG700MS, quite affordable but has good quality for its price.

@MrStudentengineer I thought I'd answer for him. Yes, it's only the thumb and index finger.

@Edonatar hell yeah it's hard to learn hahaha but this is a really good tutorial. i'm definitely like the way he presents it to us.

[MrStudentengineer]

hey are you only using your thumb and index finger to pick the strings?

[Edonatar]
