Somethings Missing Acoustic by John Mayer This is my acoustic version of "Something's Missing" by John Mayer. This acoustic is faithful to the original album version. However, I did make some changes. Such as omitting slight palm-muted riff played during the first 2 verses and replaced it with chords to be strummed. I also replaced the sick riff John plays during the chorus over over with chords that are very fitting. I know music theory, so all chord names are Enjoy! This song rings perfectly on acoustic! NOTE: For all verse, chorus, and bridge, I tabbed the chord shapes w/out timing or pattern. It is crucial you listen to the original album version for timing, etc. Acoustic guitar Tuning: (low to high) E-B-E-F#-B-E INTRO *up stroke on first C#m7add4: (x20000).
