John Mayer - No Such Thing | Guitar Lesson (Complete)

In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play "No Such Thing" by John Mayer. This was Mayer's debut single which helped gain him notoriety as not only an upcoming singer-songwriter but also an amazing guitarist. Mayer's early songs and guitar parts lean more towards a kind of fusion of jazz and pop. The chords here and throughout this album more heavily rely on upper extensions on jazz-type or advanced voicing-type chords than do many of his more current songs. This gives us a chance to beef up our chord vocabulary while also getting a great strumming workout in the process.
