            Brad, I’m not at all familiar with this song but this is a great start.

              Great song, Brad, definitely on my to do list. Those thumb over the top grips are not easy. This would be a whole lot easier on electric, though.

                I haven’t heard this song until recently. Seems to be a classic. Really cool riff. Looking forward to hear it again in 6 months’

                  Never heard the song, but seems like a good to learn.
                  I agree with John might easier on electric.
                  Well done.

                      Nope, I can’t open it either. Why don’t you upload it to Youtube?

                            Good start Brad. I too am unfamiliar with this but looking forward to hearing it again in July. All the best!

                              That’s a fab tune to get under your fingers you’ve made in roads with it ,
                              But I agree with the others maybe easier played on a electric, have fun with it .

                                Great start Brad! The chords are melody are coming along. Once you smooth out the changes this will sound pretty good.

                                  You got the chords, you got the ambition, Brad. What more you do you need as foundation for this challenge. I‘m curious what we hear in six months from you.

                                          Excellent idea, Brad! I love John Mayer’s songs and this one is a great one to have under your fingers! Great project for the upcoming months and I’ll look forward to hearing you play it in 6 months!
                                          What a cool way to join the challenges, welcome! 🙂

                                              Like this challenge Brad. That’s an iconic bit if riffage to get under your fingers Brad and there’s some typically tasty J Mayer chord grips in there too. Never heard it done on an acoustic so will look forward to hearing that when we get to July. Such a cracking good song. Saw JM play this in Sydney before the pandemic, a great night.

                                                You picked a very cool song. Thanks for turning me on to that John Mayer song. And you’re off to good start learning it. Best wishes!
