How to play Stop This Train by John Mayer on the guitar [Part 1]

[flirnk]

I may go crazy in the process. I may lose my job, my wife and all worldly possessions, but by god I’ll be able to play this damn song.

Ah.... that warm brain fuzz feeling when you're learning something new and unnatural. That feeling slowly transfers from your brain to warmth in your fingers as it becomes second-nature to them.

After struggling with neon for a few months this feels rather easy lol

What helped me learn this song was actually just spending time away from it. It's one of those things that I simply couldn't get it right in one shot, it took a few days until it finally clicked. Keep trying but don't get frustrated

[Daniel-xhot]

I can't take the speed this song is playing in...

[chrisjames]

Wow, hats off Justin, that was amazing. Beautiful transcription of a beautiful song. Now, where's my guitar...

[BradColemanisHere]

Tutorial starts at 4:11. Thanks for this one! Great song. I appreciate you teaching it.

If you're interested I reccomend learning who says by John mayer first. It's easier to play but has the same pick and slap pattern

I love you, Justin! You are the reason why I've pushed myself for the past 6 years to learn guitar. You are the reason why I learnt my first chords to learning full songs and eventhough you don't know me, I feel like you're a really close friend after watching nearly all of your videos hahah. I'm so grateful for all your help and your time, especially. I still don't make any money but when I do, i'm going to try to help you out as much as you've helped me throughout these years and given me a reason to feel happy everytime I pick up my guitar. I'm still no good but i'm determined to get better with your help during this pandemic.. sad that it takes me a pandemic to take my practicing seriously xD

Heavier Things and Continuum are such great albums. You've done them justice again Justin. Cheers.

AHHHH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Your video made this riff click for me. The first twenty minutes felt like learning how to play guitar from scratch again but I GOT IT!!!

[tommy-jmsq]

Thanks Justin, you're a truly excellent teacher. If you're trying to learn this song and are finding it difficult, stick with it, it is such a special song to play. Hats off to John and Justin!

The ring finger is not enough for me, i gotta throw in my third leg

I almost had this song down about 3 months ago. But with college and work I kind of forgot about it. Stop this train! I wanna get back on and learn this soooonnng again! Lol. Hope everyone makes progress with it. Don’t give up. The rhythm and picking is the hard part! Once you got that down it’s easy! Good luck!

From Jamaica so forgive me for saying that this is bloodclaut wicked. Superb job! Been studying this song for some months now and this is the best I’ve seen.

[shrimpbillionaire]

I just found this tutorial. This is by far the most intuitive teaching I've seen on YouTube. Dude, I SMASHED that like button and subscribed.

Thank you for not pretending that anyone that is trying to learn this song doesn't already have a good level of comprehension.

[steveparkins]

Just wonderful🙏...this is my first 2023 goals to learn and play this, one of my fav John Mayer songs 🙏🙏🎸

[atharvakulkarni]

[alaab]
