theres nobody playing bass behind him... hes using a thumb pick not a flat pick.... this is how the song should sound... listen to robert johnsons version same thing.... and i dont think you could accomplish it with a flat pick get yourself a thumb and finger pick and youl have a lot easier time playing this then you would using a flat pick....

This is blues - I'm so sick of John Mayer

@RcUniverseGuy Ok, why so negative? If your sick of something it usually means you overloaded on it. Thats not his fault. Then again if you did overload on it it was prob cause it was GOOD. Lets not forget music is a art form. I love Levi Jeans but sometimes want to wear cargo shorts..........the point being, at least im not walking around in my boxers . Expand your musical vocabulary so u stop getting SICK

@schnikeys LOL lets just hope your not looking for john mayer to get a blues fix. John is a singer songwriter who happens to like blues styles. These guys are Blues Men and thanks for John Mayer for at least bringing it to this generation to keep it alive. Not sure who if anyone ever called JM a blues artist...lol including himself. Hope you keep listening and try not to get sick of any artist, they are just doing what they love..........Entertaining Humans

How sweet Johhny. You couldn't ask for a better rendition and what a beautiful guitar style, so clear and precise - just found you, hope it's not too late for you to read this, much love & peace.

I have seen clips of him performing when he was much older and enjoyed them very much. This is a real treasure. Seeing him at his best is a real treat. So smooth and precise, singing and playing. A great bluesman. Thanks for posting.
