M2M Day 142: Just like John Mayer?

This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For March, my goal is to play a 5-minute blues guitar solo.

On my way home from work today, my friend Steven sent me the following message:

“JM” stands for John Mayer.

And yes, I have been wanting to learn the intro to the John Mayer song “Out of my Mind” for the entire month, so this was just the push I needed.

While I didn’t learn the intro note-for-note, I did my best to capture what John is doing in the song. My performance turned out a little stiff (I was concentrating too hard on execution), but I start loosening up towards the end.

And here’s the John Mayer song…

Thanks for the nudge, Steven.
