  • bro. one thing that will help you out is to learn the names of the strings. 1st string - E. 2nd string - A. 3rd string - D. 4th string - G. 5th string - B. 6th string (smallest string) - e. btw. strumming pattern --- hit the low e twice then play the 13/11/13 chord and let it ring. :D

  • I'm not really sure how it would be beneficial to use the string names while giving chords (which I didn't use note names either). If anyone wants them they can send me a message though...

  • This doesnt sound right. Is it tuned down to D?

  • no, but my guitar's not the best and it may not have been completely in tune and my I did it on a digital camera so take you pick :)

  • These instructions are basically all wrong, except for some bits. The strumming is incorrect as well. It's not about having banana fingers, its about learning to play it right. I suggest you watch live John Mayer videos and practice more!

  • I figured I could have some artistic license with it. And in most of his songs you have to have long fingers to play it exactly like he does such as "neon". My hands are not quite as big so I play it like is in the video and I've got the "any given thursday" dvd and he does do some cheesey slides in it.

  • @cjtrouble Low E: 6 Man. You're moving backwards.

  • what the fuck is a bird finger?

  • dude this is absolutely terrible... it sounds nothing like the song at all... if you want to show a tutorial learn theRIGHT chords and strumming pattern.. absolutely horrible

  • this was terrible

  • this is awful. Why is this up?

  • @cjtrouble you should also learn the names of the strings, you got them backwards.

  • how is the strumming?

  • @cjtrouble Actually, you have it backwards. The high e string is considered the first string, and so on. e - first B - Second G - Third D - Fourth A - Fifth E - Sixth

  • @cjtrouble thats wrong. smallest chord is string one

  • actualy i like it when the say the number of the string it seems easier for me.

    y do all of johnm mayers songs have to be so hard for me:(
