Great, great job man. This is my fav Mayer song by far. Just a q: How did you nail that rhythm on that second part in the verse? Pretty nasty.

you left out the bass line (a-g-d) which gives the foundation of the progression

You made the song easier and man, great hearing. Anyways, can you tab out the same song from the Any Given Thursday album? That version has a chordal solo which I cannot figure out. You can help, right?

Here's a little helper for the figurers of the world... http://atomixMP3.com/ The trial version lets you slow down an MP3 tune without altering the notes. You can't save/record but you can certainly record using any other wav recorder while playing from Atomix. Very handy. There's some notes missing in the basic riff on this one and I'll try to post when I figure it out.
