John Mayer has so many great riffs... BUT "Belief" and "Edge of Desire" might be my two favorite Mayer progressions. Mayer has been a inspiration to so many because he has dived into so many different genres over his career. His whole Born & Raised album became one of my favorites and that is more of a Singer-Songwriter/Americana/Folk side of him. His JM3 stuff is out of this world. The guy cannot do wrong!
John Mayer is one of the greatest guitarists of his era. It's not just the Pilgrim's skill that is incredible, but he gets the most fantastic tone out of his strat.
You play with personal joy and enthusiasm. I a 75 year old guy playing for 66 years as a session musician and doing rewrites,l. Now I have 137 guitars to sell from the 40s to about the 80s. I guess getting I am old. Going to keep a few I really like. Good stuff. Keep it up.
What a great riff!! John Mayer is an amazing guitarist. I've been listening Friends, lovers, or nothing lately, that song has a fantastic intro and melody.
A huge amount of his solos are actually BB.King 'hommages' specially early on, as John himself said 'i regret playing stock BB licks over so many of my early solos'
I love this riff so much, thanks for the video. You did an amazing job breaking that down. To answer your question! Mayer has so many fantastic riffs that makes it hard to choose one. But if I think about his acoustic stuff it's definitely the 'Something like Olivia' acoustic version. :)
Great lesson. I always wanted to understand how that riff was pulled off. Thank you for sharing your research & knowledge. You have made me a better guitarist & preserved some of the best music written for generations to come. Jim
Thank you for the lesson! Perfect song choice😍 Love your channel, you deserve much more subscribers! Neon, Something like Olivia, Belief... I love all Mayer!💜
my fav is the riff from Neon. Oh, hang on, BELIEF. Oh, no, HELPLESS... Sorry, one too many. Make that everything from John Mayer ;) More John Mayer videos please - am subscribed ;) :) :) ;)

wow didn't know this song was so awesome and hell yeah "Bleeding heart" by jimi hendrix is one of those hendrix's signature strato struttin riffs!!!! Killer groove like hes mannish boy version aswell
If you learned this riff and think its easy, check out John mayer playing this alone in Japan. If you want to get a right hand like Mayer, learn every live version you can find of this song...
Even though I can't play guitar, I always enjoy your excellent videos! BTW, how is your baby girl doing? Hope that all is well & that all of you are staying safe! 👍👍😉😉
