Neon - John Mayer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***************************
*Transcribed by Matt Tyree*
***************************
I havnt found any acurate tabs for this
yet so I figured there were people who
would like to play the song so here is how
i hear it. He plays it a few different ways
when going from his album to a live set-even
slapping the bass notes sometimes live.
The low E needs to be tuned down all the way to a C.
This C will act as your bass line while playing.
I can promise you this is correct-the timming is the
key and every note listed really is there. This in
no way represents the rythm, it would have taken hours
to tab that you should be able to figure it out.
Well here is how I play "Neon" by John Mayer. Not the way I play it on electric. I mainly play this on acoustic. But it can be played on electric this way. I'm almost positive this is 100% right, then again I oculd be wrong. Either way enjoy!
*********************** |h Hammer-on |/ Slide up ***********************
(I) When sky blue gets dark enough To see the colors of the city lights A trail of ruby red and diamond white Hits her like a sunrise
(II) She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can
(I) Tonight she's out to lose herself And find a high on Peachtree Street From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always Heavy into everything
(III) She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands
(IV) She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon (V) Who knows how long, how long, how long (VI) She can go before she burns away
(I) I can't be her angel now You know it's not my place to hold her down And it's hard for me to take a stand When I would take her anyway I can
(VII) She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands
(IV) She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon (V) Who knows how long, how long, how long (VI) She can go before she burns away
-then parts VIII and IX
There ya go! I included the lyrics as well as what parts to play where. So i hope you have as much fun playin the song as I do!
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
hey, this tab is just a general acoustic version, john plays around the same consept, i will add this little cool part i figured out just before you go into the solo. i've been trying to figure out how he plays it so good and this is what i have come up with
*note- he does alot of slapping and deading of strings
tuning: drop low E waaaay down to a C

This part is played palm muted
And the whole song is played with picking at 16ths(I think) tempo
There are a ton of mutes and stuff going on throughout the whole song so make sure you
to the song closely.
