Yeah when my thumb is on the 5 i can make the stretch but there is no way i can put my thumb on the 10 and stretch to the 7 and 8. i can sit there all day and try. i think its just easier for me to play the whole song with using my thumb.

it isnt accurate...it misses some notes here and there, BUT this video helps a lot...it doesnt show what notes to play, but u can figure em out easily ;)

the fret positions are right
u just have to pick some extra notes here and there ;)

I've been trying to get this song down today and it's fucking hard... Anyway, here is an actual tab that John Mayer wrote out on paper if you're interested.

This isnt a bad video to learn from or atleast just to get you started. There are plenty of other vids also on youtube.com

I like this one because it shows good ways to fret the chords because I cant play two of the chords using my thumb on the low E string, just impossible for me.
