The Secret Weapon behind John Mayers Groove: The Sean Hurley Interview

The year is 2006 and John Mayer has just recorded a landmark album that will put his new trio on the map. Drummer/producer Steve Jordan had the great idea of bringing Willie Weeks AND Pino Palladino in to play bass on one track, with Pino adding his own accompaniment to Week’s muted 8th note figure.

When Sean Hurley landed the bass gig with John Mayer in 2008, he combined both bass lines! So in today’s lesson, Sean is going to break it down note-for-note for you – and show you how to make it sound like TWO bass players are playing at the same time. Along with teaching you four more iconic John Mayer bass grooves.
