Notes

Studio recording, 2023 release. Gear inferred from John Mayer's known studio rig and visible use of PRS Silver Sky in live performances of 'Better Days' with Zach Bryan. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. No evidence of Zach Bryan's acoustic on the riff section, which is electric and played by Mayer.
