Anyone done any guitar instructional videos of John Mayer?

[myonlybliss]

I am trying to learn My stupid mouth or one that isn't so hard but a video like Pat or Kanter has done would really help.

The verse part is fucking me up, I cant get the rhythm after the part he plays that is the same as the intro, and partway through the bridge too. And damn he uses some funky chords.

If anyone has a video of this, or even a slowed down audio or something, Id really appreciate it, Ive never learned a JM song all the way through and Id like to learn this one.

[brian_ok]

from just playing through that quickly/knowing the chord shapes that show up often on room for squares, yes that is a pretty accurate tab. I've never seen a video of john playing that live though.
Learning JM songs is quite an experience. Only when you can play a few of his songs all the way through can you get a grasp of how good a songwriter he really is.

I'd recommend Why Georgia, Gravity, Another Kind of Green, and the rare Hummingbird for acoustic. If My Stupid Mouth is giving you trouble, AKoG might be best saved for later. Also, YBiaWonderland is a very easy song, though it sounds kind of bland on just solo acoustic, unless you have a solid voice.

and here is what you're looking for. didn't check the video against the tab though.

I cant play the chorus for Why Georgia and have no desire to learn those other three. And I watched that video you linked, he doesnt play the verse right, he cuts it out where the intro cuts out, so that doenst really help a whole lot. Maybe for the chorus...

[brian_ok]

seriously? the chorus is the easiest part of Why Georgia.

and can you really not figure out My Stupid Mouth using the song, that video, and the tab? don't you own a taylor?
