John Mayer, to be released (2023)
-----------------------------------------------------
A beautiful song that John's written, first played
on his 2023 solo tour. I used the 4/10/23 Vancouver
recording to figure out some of the voicings.
The song can be played with a pick, however
it sounds much nicer when he plays it
fingerstyle, in a similar fashion to
Emoji of a Wave, on The Search for Everything.
