    If anyone has ever listened to John Mayer’s live album “Where The Light Is,” you’ll appreciate the licks between 3:27-3:50. That’s a straight up nod to that live performance of neon.

      @@zargomik yeah lol. Anyone who’s never heard it would be like “what kind of garbage is this?” It’s a very technical phrase. It’s a very fast triplet section and he never misses a note and maintains the tempo too. He has more talent in one finger than I do in my whole existence.

    First moment I was skeptical because John is typically using only thumb and index finger for his fingerstyle technic . That being said you have surprised me in a positive way because your technique worked out well. In general you have exceeded all expectations for a song cover and therefore I started looking for your tour dates. Unfortunately nothing yet planned for Munich in 2024 - would be glad to see you live one day.
