"Daughters" by John Mayer
Sitting in with a guitarist/singer next week and the bridge section of this tune is giving me a little trouble (compounded by the fact that I have 8 other tunes to get down and no time to practice).
Has any one played this tune, maybe even as a duo?
And yes, I have seen this: https://mandotabs.com/j/john-mayer/daughters/
It's a decent guide, but the bridge harmony is very dense to my ears.
Maybe just a descending single note line behind guitar chords?

Re: "Daughters" by John Mayer
here's the chords to the bridge, they all have a d note in them except A7 when he sings the word "much" (C#), that's the easiest
Am/D Gm/D D D
DM7 A7 Bm7add11 Bm7add11
Em9 Em9 D/F# D/F#
D11 D11 D2/A D2/A D2/A D2/A
next you could try these notes lasting 3 beats each ( first 2 lines down the scale, next 2 up the scale )
a g f# f#
e e d d
g g a a
c c d e f# g
BTW experiment with x750 x650 x550 for the rest of the song

Re: "Daughters" by John Mayer
Gig was last night and "Daughters" went very well. The three motifs (guitar intro, short guitar break and short piano break) are very mandolin friendly.
For the bridge, I played the first chord of each phrase in unison and then some harmonics to chime over the "D2/A". Nice and uncluttered.
