------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOMETHING LIKE OLIVIA - JOHN MAYER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Mariano25 E-mail: marianoa07@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard Hi, this is my first tab, I basically took a previous one and improved it as best I could by listening to the song a lot. It's based on the acousting version and the video actually helps a lot with hand positions so check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izkqPdVAdL4 There is a chord in the solo I just didn't know what it was and then the C' I'm pretty sure it's a Hendrix variation of the C' chord used for blues maninly. Every single chord is palm muted and slightly playing the base note. Also there are tons of riff between the chords, like every other JM song.
