Note that this does not contain the "high" guitar part, rather the consistent part it. I'm also adding in some
random bass notes to fill it in if you're playing by yourself, which will be bracketed.

This is a transcription from the very popular YouTube clip of John Mayer's new signature Two Rock amp, which he is demoing in the Two Rock shop.
Since there was no tab for it, I thought I'd create it. This is as close as I could get. The groove is always a bit stale in actual sheet music, so I encourage you to get the actual groove and feel from the clip.
Have fun!
