Notes

Live performance at Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles, December 2007. Gear confirmed for this tour/album. Two-Rock Custom Reverb Signature was Mayer's main live amp for this era, often blended with Dumble SSS and Fender Vibro-King. Guitar is a Stratocaster with single-coils, likely using neck or neck+middle pickup for riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated groove, dynamic touch, and the need to play cleanly with subtle muting and precise timing to match delay repeats.
