Description
John Mayer's use of Drop C tuning in his earlier acoustic recordings helped establish him as a creative force on the instrument early on in his career. His ability to than mix the technique with great song writing only further demonstrated the tunings possibilities. This example demonstrates chord voicings that John uses in Drop C tuning (played here in the key of E minor), and how their creative shapes can be moved up and down the neck of the guitar. These chords and many more are interesting ways to explore new shapes and rhythmic ideas you can find with Drop C.
A similar technique can be heard in the song:
Neon (Inside Wants Out and Room for Squares)
