Mayer - Lifelines help

[Kahn]

Can anyone play this well? A video would be appreciated.

I can't video but what are you struggling with?

[Kahn]

The recording I have, after the chorus, he plays the verse, but he does it super funky. Just wondering what he is doing there.

have you seen this tab:

Part B is a rough idea of the notes. Its all about the thumb on the low E string.

Part B: intro and verse

e-------------------------------------------------
b---8-------8----4-------4----4--4-4---6--7--8----
g---9-------9----5-------5----5--6-6---6--7--9----
d---7-------7----3-------3----3--3-3---5--6--7----
a---8---5-8------4---1-4---------------6--7--8----
e-----8------------4----------6-------------------


try somethin like this on low E and A string

A-------8-10-------------AND--------4h6--------
E-8-10-------8h10---------------4-6-----4h6h4

I think you are talking about those blazin runs he plays when switchin chords in the verse/intro above. Just play around w the notes in key that surround the root of each chord, kinda.

You have to keep thumb on E and use pinky to play the note 2 frets up.
(8T---10p-)

THis chord is pretty tough: u need a big hand (FINGERS)

-4--4--- (2)
-5-(6)-- (3(4))
-3--3--- (1)
-x------
-6--6--- (T)

Great song.

'starin at the pictures in the album we forgot about.....isnt it a shame, times have changed, and isnt it strange, lifelines stay the same.
