The D6 shape is a bit of a stretch, but it's doable. I also found out my guitar was out of tune when playing this :)

I'd always dismissed this is a bit of a sappy song (and I actually really like John Mayer, in general), but playing this through a few times and singing along really made me aware that it's actually quite a beautiful song.]]> Easy Songs redpoint https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/daughters-by-john-mayer/#post-192104 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/daughters-by-john-mayer/#post-19481 Tue, 01 Aug 2006 17:32:11 +0000 Daughters John Mayer This may look a bit imposing, but trust me, it is a fairly simple song and you get to learn some lovely new chord shapes in the process.
