John Mayer Style Right Hand Technique

[@johnbowen8969]

Still playing my 30 year old HD28 my wife gave to me a few years after we got married. Sweeter with time, the guitar too. Thanks for making time to do these videos, there is always something to learn and I love the vicarious feeling I get watching. Cheers Tim

Love that thump sound, just like a heartbeat. I'm trying to get into learning fingerspicking and this should be fun to add to the toolbox. Thanks!

Hey Tim. Great video. I have a 50 plus year old Washburn my wife bought me when I returned from overseas when I was in the army. I also have a Martin and a Taylor. That Martin you are playing is a good one. My younger brother has one and since he is an accomplished Luthier that means a lot. In past videos I thought your style was kind of like Mark Knopfler and now I can see the John Mayer influence. Keep up the good work! Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on you tube.

Such a beautiful piece! Thanks for the lesson on the right hand technique. Thats gonna take a bit of practice. 😊

[@saraha7944]

Can’t wait to give this a try! Currently using my Faith Venus Bloodmoon ⚡️

Great playing, great video. Thanks Tim!

[@Bleedblue244]

love your videos tim. thanks for creating.

We Banjo players use those pluck and down strokes continuously. Like on the Banjo you've created a percussive sound as well. You've transfered the Claw Hammer basics of Banjo to the Guitar. I do it occasionally myself when I'm on Guitar. Claw Hammer messes with your head till you establish the rhythm. Sounds wonderful on an Acoustic 12 string also. Late great Pete Seeger had a beautiful large body baritone 12 string Acoustic Guitar that would warm you from your nose to your toes! He used similar techniques like the ones you demonstrate here. I completely enjoy your videos Tim. All of them on such a wide range of topics related to Guitar and music.Peace.

[@lisanagel9424]

Thanks for showing this finger technique. You make it look easy,but I know it’s not. I’m gonna try it anyway! Playing on my Baby Taylor guitar.

[@DonThorvund]

Great Lesson, Tim

[@annac3514]

"A Guitar?" Who has just one? I'm downsizing for a move, but the two acoustics I'm keeping are the Legend Guitar Company dread (a few guys from Larrivee started their own co, but then it went belly-up) and a Collings OM2H custom deep body. The two I'm parting with are the Takamine Santa Fe and EF-349.

[@kerryfromaj9032]

Nice! Very cool 😎 video today. I just got an acoustic guitar to try out. I’m an electric guitar, 5 string bass and baritone guitar player.

[@ricksmith9914]

I have three acoustics. An old Washburn D28s ( looks like a Martin HD 28 ) from the late 70's early 80's. , A Tacoma Jumbo from 2009 and a Yamaha APX600 from 2016 I think. It's not good unplugged but pretty great as a stage guitar; which is why I got it.

[@ochayethenoo15]

Nice lesson, thank you. I have a Yamaha Thin Line and a Taylor GS Mini. Both nice guitars but I am really interested in a Yamaha Acoustasonic. I wondered if anyone has any thoughts on them.

[@markm716]

Great tunes, Tim! Would love to hear them finished up. I’m playing an older Takamine SW341SC Steve Wariner signature model. Great old guitar. She’s sick now. At the doctors for a checkup/tuneup/setup.

[@markellis8347]

Great playing as always. I actually have two acoustics. A seagull s6 and Larrivee OM-05

[@TimAvenMusic]

Thank you, love that! Both Great companies!

[@sean_oquin]

Great stuff, Tim! I’ve got an 06’ 000-16CGTE that I’ll never part with. Playing any other acoustics feels like I’m cheating lol!

[@johnsauer9067]

Off subject - that is one organized closet behind you.

[@melissaridner8857]

You're so talented.

[@TimAvenMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@jamescarbajal878]

I have my squire strat that I still need to learn to play on

[@22ndfret]

You certainly have a command of this instrument 😊

[@TimAvenMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@curtisb.8354]

It's got a little August Rush, feel about it.

[@benambler1393]

Tim….as always…thanks. Quick question. If you write something does it belong to you or is it become a shared creation with Lanco? I’m guessing you have some kind of written agreement with the band and wasn’t sure if intellectual property/creations were a part of that deal.

[@unpracticedmusician]

I still havent fully figured out the stop this train picking pattern lol. recently been working on the new Zach Bryan/Mayer song, its killer

[@TimAvenMusic]

It's a hard patter no doubt! And that new song is awesome!!

[@user-StevenLyleStyle]

?? What gauge of strings do you use on both electric and acoustic guitars?

[@stevelankford7087]

I’m trying to retrain my right hand after not picking up finger style acoustic for fairly long time. Do you practice it a little every day to keep your thumb isolated for bass notes.

[@TimAvenMusic]

I did at one point, I dont consistently practice it now just because I've done it so much, but at first that is really important!

[@therealzooch]

Hey Tim! Who is the band playing for the Republican National Convention from Nashville? Playing a lot of great covers, "We're an American Band." "Takin' It To The Streets," "Won't Back Down " .....

[@TimAvenMusic]

I’m not sure!

[@mm1f9]

Hey Tim, I’m playing a Martin D28, better guitar than my skill level!

[@TimAvenMusic]

Thats a fantastic instrument!

[@22ndfret]

Martin 000-28

[@TimAvenMusic]

Heck yeah!!

[@22ndfret]

Tim. But it would sound better w u playing the 000 28. Ck out 2 of my songs on you tube. Just search Alan Winn 1) you’re not home. 2)Carefree. Don’t listen to the should I tell her. Mix is terrible

[@travelswithdavid195]

It’s a banjo claw hammer technique

[@TimAvenMusic]

A Version of it, yes!

[@kcearnshaw4897]
