Really guys? I thought Why Georgia was pretty difficult, the second fill after the intro riff really gave me probs.

That second fill is tough, the timing is something you really have to listen for. Took me a while to perfect it...I'd start with Your Body Is a Wonderland.

try My Stupid Mouth. That is an easier mayer song. Love Song For No One, that is my fav, and not too difficult. Also, don't go to jmtabs.com, go here, she is better:

she has a few accurate dmb tabs that aren't on this site, like heathcliff's and dressed in black.

He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.

No Such Thing isn't too hard, and it exposes you to some of the Jazzy chords that Mayer uses. Your Body is A Wonderland is pretty easy, but damn I'm just so sick of that song........

yeah Why Georgia is definately NOT easy, that is if you wanna play it right and have it sound good. anyway, My Stupid Mouth was the first Mayer song that I learned and its pretty easy I guess, and it's definately a fun one to learn anyway. good practice too. Victoria is moderately easy as was said. the new tunes sound like they're pretty easy to pick up. Daughters for instance.
good, and you?
