John Mayer - The Hurt Tabbed by: Oleg.Ostyak The song at first may be hard to play with the same rhythm that he plays it with but a standard John Mayer slapping technique...In this song he plays a sort of bass to it too will help you figure the rhythm. He basically plays the root or top note as his bass of so for the first chord A he plays the A string then finger picks the xx222x and so It's kinda weird to explain but you can get it in no time believe me.
