You might get a kick out of this…
In 2006, I went to Borders bookstore and bought John Mayer’s new album Continuum.
I came home, popped the CD into my player, opened up the jewel case to look at the liner notes, and got lost in the music. The first track is “Waiting On The World To Change”.
Shortly after this, I played “Waiting On The World To Change” to my friend who was the bass player in my band at that time. He said, “Oh… these are some gospel changes.”
My ear wasn’t as developed as it is now. But his comment got me thinking.
I later learned the chord progression to “Waiting On The World To Change”, and noticed it was (almost) exactly the same as “People Get Ready” by Curtis Mayfield.
But then something else happened…
I figured out the solo too. It's all played on one string… it just slides up and down the neck and uses bluesy bends. Then later, I learned the solo on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s, “Lenny” and discovered John Mayer’s solo on “Waiting On The World To Change” is lifted (almost) exactly from a lead part in “Lenny”.
What’s the point?
Music is a language.
All the greats, study the greats. They imbibe their licks and ideas and know how to work them into their own style.
So grab your axe and let’s dive into this “Waiting On The World To Change” chords and guitar lesson!
