Light Lift Me Up & Jason Mraz

Unread post by KevinGTArch » Sun Jul 06, 2003 4:03 pm

So I've been giving Jason Mraz a fair chance and he's really not too bad but I noticed something very interesting.

I don't know if anyone has listened to Mraz enough or is familr with Dave's song Light Lift Me Up but I've noticed that Mraz's "After An Afternoon" is based off a riff that is very VERY similary to the one used in Light Lift Me Up.

Give it a listen and let me know what you think. I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it except that Mraz toured with them Winter 2002.

Mraz > Mayer

Cheers!

I thought it was a soundcheck favorite...

e-------------------------------
B-----2----2-----2------2-----
G-----0----0-----0------0----- (<I sometimes throw a 2 on the G for accent)
D-------------------------------
A---2----3---------------------
E---------------1-----3---------

that is what I have always tinkered with...
