[deleted]

What you guys think? I think its a lekker song, Having heard clips and pieces of at least 4 of the songs on the new album, I really cant wait. It's going to be good.

I like it but I seem to find some of it too similar to

I agree the picking pattern is the same.

I wouldn't go as far to say it sounds like Stop this train... Another song of his with the same picking pattern and probably even closer to this new song is the song Heart of Life.

Anyway. I think its catchy. ?

Continuum was awesome...

If its a follow up of that Ill be more than happy

As long as he plays more guitar solo's

MikeM

Drew, have you checked his live stuff? He rocks out on those..

And no not even the same pattern, the same pattern over the same chord ? Didn't know about Heart Of Life ?

Can any of you play NEON yet and sing the melody?

+1 and +1

There is a video of John Mayer playing with Slash and ZZ Top on stage somewhere on Youtube, hahaha he rips it and pulls of a great solo to La Grange with them, the man can play and is severly underated sometimes I think.

used to/can, havn't played that for a while ☹

reason being i don't like dropping the E all the way down to C, gets to flabby///

MikeM

In that picking pattern? Stop trying to nitpick.

Music has to be precise not? ?

MikeM

Yea, so why get so close to another song that you play and not be "precisely" original? 3 Songs that sound similar? Slightly disappointing considering he plays so well.

MikeM : Ive got his Where the light is DVD

and yes he rips it up

A fantastic player. Great S.R.V feel/ good choice of notes

MikeM

I seriously love the guys tone. But I think I have mentioned that a few times before ?

Not easy...

Has anyone got a better guitar tab for this?
