I’m guessing most people know about John Mayer these days! If you don’t, he’s a phenomenal guitarist who has inspired countless players. He released one of my favourite live albums, Where the Light Is, which features three sets: one acoustic, one as a three-piece, and one with a full band.
This song was originally written by Ray Charles, but John truly puts his own stamp on it. There’s a fantastic trumpet solo that I just had to learn—check it out and play along. Enjoy!
