Notes
Live performance, House of Blues, Chicago, 09/22/2005. Settings and pedals based on live rig from this era and performance. Focused on riff section with more driven tone.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to Mayer's thumb-over chord shapes, dynamic picking for touch-sensitive breakup, and maintaining groove and articulation in a slow blues context.
