1:21 Chorus3 & Ending
This is my attempt at rolling three of my early videos into one updated complete one. This is the Jazzy Intro to Neon from Where the Light is, continuing into the full song, including the middle jazzy interlude, all with onscreen TAB. I redid the entire TAB from scratch and fixed a lot of minor errors and timing issues here and there. My old vids taught the sextuplet raking in a way different from what John Mayer was doing so this also corrects that bit.
The TAB is note for note but I do switch to "economy" instruction for the 3rd and 4th choruses and 3rd, 4th, and 5th Prechoruses in the video for example. I'm sure you'll agree that the variations are either minor, or on the other hand, so greatly improvised that it is best to give a general idea over note for note instruction in those cases. The Jazzy intro and Interlude are all note for note, as are the major variations like the chord verse in verse 3.
It's on the long side, even after I edited the heck out of it to make it as short as could be, but all of my vids turn out like that. If you want note for note detail, things tend to get loooong. People wanting short and sweet will have to look elsewhere.
I'll be pointing the old videos to this one over the next few days.
On another note I'll be putting up PAYPAL donate buttons on my vids soon. Friends have been telling me for years to charge for the tabs, even $1, etc, and considering I spend weeks on them and days on the vids, it sometimes doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I'm all about FREE and just looking to be kept in fresh guitar strings. A donate button may do the trick. In any case, the vids will always have tabs onscreen even if I decide to sell the electronic copies down the road.
I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!
This guys getting into heaven for sure. Learning the hardest John Mayer song and then making an hour and a half long tutorial for it for free is definitely a ticket to the good place lmao

Best comment ever
You know other than learning the song, the main thing that I got out of this video is that it reassured me how good of a guitar player John Mayer is.
1:34 when there’s a fly on you guitar
very selfless of you showing how to play the song, more power to you sir
It may not sound like much, what with me sitting behind a computer and commenting..but I greatly appreciate this video. For the past month, I sat down, learned, and played along with you. Countless hours rewinding this video trying to get it down perfectly. Your did an excellent job, enough to make me comment (which is something I hardly ever do). Liked and subscribed! -Thanks again bro!
6bonsctt Thanks!
god bless your internet data
@6bonsctt heya! So it seems like you know a LOT about this tutorial. So how accurate is this to the song itself? I'm asking this because I'm comparing this between 2 different tutorials, and this one doesn't have a preview so I'm a bit skeptical about learning all the way to only realize I've been playing it wrong. So what do u think of this tutorial? (Also sorry for bringing you back to a comment u made like 4 years ago haha)
@@seanh9882 its awesome. learn it entirely (at least the riff, chorus, pre chorus and interlude 1 round). Once you know all those groovy parts, you can modify them t your choice!!!
@@seanh9882 Don't even think about trying to learn the tab exactly as it is/note for note...IMPOSSIBLE...this guy has made the tab way too overcomplicated...A lot of the notes this guy puts in isn't actually heard in the actual video..If JOhn Mayer saw this tab he'd be like wtf over complicated.
A lot of the notes played are unintentional notes as well and don't actually make a difference at all if you leave them out
How in the hell is my thumb supposed to do that
Taraalcar your ring finger can, too.
+Taraalcar it doesn't.
+Sarah E. DiMusto hahahaha yea i also have small hands and i definitely have to stretch the thumb out... and soon as i try to pick up speed... bam, f up again hahah practice practice
+Taraalcar Take out the pinky, the thumb can reach better.
I can just about do the thumb bit, but I've managed to move my fingers around to accommodate. Like in the third 'chord' for instance I put my ring finger where his thumb is.
Me: okay let's learn Neon for once and for all.
*Zartimus: first learn radical tuning methods.*
Funny how it lasts 1:23:45 haha
OLol
if you only knew
holy shit I didn't even realise
You just know John Mayer saw how long the video was and chuckled lmao
who gives a shit
The fact that this takes 1:23 minutes to display shows how ridiculously technical of player John is
17 people don't have souls, how can you possibly dislike this. Zartimus, you are the man. Most detailed neon tutorial I've seen ever.
oh my goat , now i know why john mayer can play neon , because he is look ur tutorial video .
Greatt job
That's so incredible, man. I must say that I have much respect for you now for making this video, and taking the time
to learn the whole live version, cause I'm sure it was tough and challenging and that it required patience.
I have to say I wasn't a big fan of your tutorials, due to your sound and technique, I read some posts talking about this
in previous videos, and I kind of agreed with them. But I realize now that it doesn't really matter how you sound in
the tutorials, not to mention opinions are all subjective.
The important thing is that you are really passionate about what you do, and one can tell that in every tutorial you've made. Besides, since it's a tutorial, maybe you are not that focused in playing the songs the perfect way or getting the coolest sound out of the guitar. But I'm sure playing live, you rock.
I really hope you keep doing this kind of things, because it's so helpful to all of us guitar players and beginners, who are
dreamers, just like you are, man.
This song in particular I've always found it so cool and complex, and in my opinion requires an advanced fingerpicking technique. And that's one of the reasons I didn't want to learn it then. But now I've challenged myself to go ahead and learn it from the very beginning, and I know it's gonna be hard and tedious, but that's the way it goes with this kind of music. It wouldn't be that cool if it weren't hard. And it's so great that people like you become passionate about artists like Mayer and dedicate a big part of their time teaching and transmiting good knowledge to the viewers.
Wish you all the best, and never stop dreaming!
Thanks for everything.
You are amazing man. Really appreciate taking the time to show us this. It is beyond my comprehension that Mayer created this song at such a young age all the while being an amazing blues player. Like HOW DID HE COME UP WITH THIS.
Thank you very much Zartimus for all the time and effort you put into this! I'm sure every viewer appreciates it greatly.
I love that you're rocking a blizzard t-shirt. Nice tutorial, thanks!
Just wanted to say you are truly appreciated. This video has helped me grow as a guitarist more than anything I've done before. So many new techniques that I can work on. Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Please keep them coming! I love how you talk about the different variations and break everything down into easy to understand chunks. Thanks again.
Just wanted to say that your tutorials are always top notch, this is probably the best tutorial there is on this song. All your other tutorials are also so in depth and comprehensible, thank you for these videos!
You are a legend zartimus. I've watched this version of neon probably over a hundred times. I'll give it a go now!
OMG, I just discovered this live version of Neon some days ago and thought how cool would it be to play that version. Now this video appeared on suggestions and it has been a blessing. Thanks so much for the video and for uploading the music sheet🙆♂️
Honestly one of the best tutorials I've seen. Thank you so much! So so good
truly you are a king for making this
Wow ! Thats a lot of time you spent learning every single part of the song, making the video !
And I saw the other lessons last more or less the same time, thats incredible !
Thats a nice job you've done ! Hope you make other videos with that quality
Amazing job, people like you deserve a lot more recognition.
I really appreciate this lesson!! Thanks for putting the time in to do it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this tutorial!!!!! The live version of this song is complex (and also probably one of the most difficult John Mayer songs to learn and play), but you go through it step by step and you are very clear and detailed!!! This is by far, one of the best guitar tutorials I have ever seen on UA-cam!!!!! Thanks again and keep on jamming!!!
You are a god amongst men! Thanks for taking the time to make such a comprehensive video/tab!
Like that Blizzard shirt!
Without a doubt the best lesson (and cover) of neon on UA-cam. Great job. I'm working my way through it. Once you get the slap-pop technique and general ideas it isn't that hard (but still hard!) Btw funny how John mayer makes a new solo for like every live performance. Maybe you should do an entire video on solo variations :)
Yup. It went up as 360p again even though the source is 720p and took several hours to upload. I'll leave this version out there and try again tonight and then redirect to the 720p version when it finally gets up there. Drag..
My bad, the 720 must have rendered afterwards because it is there now..All is good..This link will be able to stay.. Never noticed that before.
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about good online guitar courses try Elumpa Simple Guitar Alchemist (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
Zartimus I have a question about the intro. What about the second thumb note? Is a slap like first thumb note or the basic pluck? THX
Zartimus hey zartimus hi there! can I play the sing part arppeggios with no Thumbs i mean the left hand can I play using only my four fingers ? Using thumbs its dificulty for small hands lol
My Cover on my channel! Thank you! ENJOY!

I so appreciate the deliberate structure of your videos. While I don't sit through the whole video, I utilize the time stamps in the info section. I have, however, sat through your covered in rain lesson many times -- forever my favorite song by anyone. Thank you so much!
Tremendous tutorial. Truly it’s superb. I’m happy to have found your page. Thanks for all the great work.
jeez this is a lot of good work and for free, the fact that even him is struggling says a lot about this piece, subbed!
Mans a legend. Massive respect to you for doing a full tutorial for free. Life saver
dude, I don't think you'll ever understand how appreciative i am of these amazing videos. Thank you soooo much.
The hardest part about this song isn't even the songs itself, its the damn jazzy intro and midsection haha. Thank you so much for this tutorial, seriously all your videos rock!
This midt be one of the best guitarlesson's I have ever watched! Thank you! Amazing.
This is breathtakingly beautiful work. Thank you so much for this channel!
Just thought I'd say that you are by far the best guitar teacher I've ever encountered and thanks for everything. You have taught me so much and I wouldn't be the guitarist I am without you today
The most accurate tutorial on youtube for this song, great work.
You are such a legend! I wouldn't be able to play any of my Mayer songs without your tutorials! Hopefully you'll get to play with John one day
The most go -for- detail lesson of youtube!
Probably one of the most awesome tutorial I have ever watched...Stunning work Mr Zartimus. Oh and btw whoever say that John Mayer is an average guitarist has probably never watched this video...
So David Cameron found a way to spend his retirement
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
jhahahahahahha hahahahah
GahHarahakakhsahahahauey
Thanks so much. You are like so selfless for taking so much time to produce this tutorial.
Thank you for all your great lessons! Keep them coming.
Just wanna say that I have been trying to learn this song forever, and your tutorial finally broke it down in such a digestible way! I feel fucking amazing rn
This is detail. You're a king.
+Zartimus always appreciate your videos man! After listening to a Mayer song where Im like "oh, I gotta learn that one"...without fail, you have an easy step by step video on how to play the masters piece. Keep rocking it! Love it!
I cannot thank you enough for the time you have dedicated to make this video. Such a perfect video and a great teacher. You are a Great man. Love the Lesson, Love the Smile on your face and Love John Mayer. :) - Love from india
youre the goat for that one, i could allready play all parts easily but never figured how to play that mid solo. thank u!
Thanks for this and all the other tutorials! Youre the only one that make it with this amount of details..
Youre the best :D
John mayer would be proud lol
You deserve at least 500k for your dedication to making videos in this manner.. because other channels of that caliber do no have this in depth of information somebody give my guy a shout out smh
The best tutorial of Neon. You are a genius
Zartimus Man you don't know how much i appreciate your hard work.
after a month of practice i nearly cried after your last words of the video hahahaha
Thank you very much, now its time to go on your other john mayer tutorials :D
How is this not the first tutorial that pops up in the search results for this song. I remember learning from this video 6 years ago, now I'm revisiting it to relearn
This is phenomenally good. Head and shoulders above other tutorials.
Detailed information with super detailed explanation AWESOME!
Thank you for this great lesson, your the only one who covered the whole song.
This is the best neon tutorial on the internet by far
Best part of this was the blizzard t-shirt! Amazing tutorial! Will be performing this cover in a week! Thanks for the help :)
The best lesson of Neon on youtube!!!!!
greeting frome China
if you think this is the best, check this: ua-cam.com/video/ho4K5741JBU/v-deo.html
little tip i found: if your hands aren’t big enough to reach your thumb around the neck on that second chord in the verse, then i recommend playing it with your ring finger on string six fret five, pinkie on string four fret six, index finger on string three fret three and middle finger on string two fret four.
Finally! After months of fiddling with the fingerpicking pattern and daily practice I've finally learned to play it while singing! I wouldn't have done it without Zartimus
***** Thanks man! Initially, I didn't even think I can get close to doing it but with constant practice of the technique, it can be done! Although it's still really rough and far from perfect, it's still a good learning and a great achievement for me
Thats just gonna break my hand so i used my ring finger instead. But HOLLLLYYYY CRAP finally i found an actual full on non fake authentic tutorial!!!! You dont know how long i've been trying to find this type of vid. They've only been doing covers of the intro. It would make sense though since this is supose to be a super accurate presentation of the live version it would take long to actualy seperate it piece by peice. I'm just glad that after 2 years of waiting i finally stumble upon this. Your a life savior sir!
hi Zartimus, thank you a lot for doing this. Youre a good musician man
You're feckin' excellent at these tutorials...
I really appreciate your effort in making this video. Thank you so much :)
Oh man, my heart stoped for a second, when i saw a title.
always thankful for this vid.
Thank you so so so so so so much! we live in an amazing age and you're an amazing person!
Terrific lesson. Thank you so much!
O melhor tutorial das musicas de John Mayer que já vi!
Obrigado!
Foda demais, né man?
Master! thanks for your time teaching us all the song step by step.. im practicing now! thanks again!

You, sir are the kindest and most generous human being on this earth.
Great tutorial. Watched a bunch, this one is top notch!

Man, you are amazing! Thank you that you've created this video. You are the BOSS ! B)
Thanks for this! I had trouble figuring out the intro and the solo from the live version.
Best guitar teacher on UA-cam!
Ths is perfect, you are amazing!

Thank you for this lesson. Truly appreciated.
This Guy is an absolute legend
This is the greatest video tutorial. Thank you!
Very nice tutorial, you sounding like bob odenkirk makes me love it more :) thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent
That chord/verse 3 is so much fun to play and no one is teaching it. Thanks!!!!
I know right? It’s weird to sing over too. Great that you noticed that part.
You're the man Zatimus, Thank you very much!
You are the best man, this is very helpful.Thank you so much.
Suddenly, I have have a ton of respect for Mr. Mayer!!!
It's perfect! I wanna complete this lesson perfectly. very great!
This is awesome! I am so looking forward to learning this...John Mayer is one of the reasons I wanted to learn to play! My *former*guitar teacher doesn't like JM (huh?) and so wouldn't teach any. Finally, the real deal. Thanks!
This is incredible. Thank you very much
Amazing.Thank you very much.
