John Mayer - Vultures Continuum Tabbed by Adam D. This is a great catchy tune off the Continuum record. The other tabs for this song are but this tab is for those of us without a full band behind us and play on acoustic. * = slap the strings with your thumb I play this song without a pick and use all fingers on my right hand.

About the artist behind Vultures Acoustic Tab:
Mayer began his career performing mainly acoustic rock and pop, but gradually began a transition towards the blues genre in 2005 by collaborating with renowned blues artists such as B. B. King and Eric Clapton, and by forming the John Mayer Trio. The blues influence can be heard on his album Continuum, released in September 2006. At the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007 Mayer won Best Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change". Mayer's career pursuits have extended to stand-up comedy, design, and writing; he has written pieces for magazines, most notably for Esquire. He is also involved in philanthropic activities through his "Back to You" fund and his concern over global warming.
