"So Easy To Fall In Love" Olivia Dean; "Stop This Train" John Mayer

Olivia Dean is a British singer that I just discovered a few weeks ago and I am loving her music!:heart_eyes: This song combined finger style and open chords which made it fun to learn and play. I even tried- key word- to incorporate a solo! There are several songs on her new album that I want to learn to play.

Wow, this sounds great, Sonyal! :slight_smile:
Very beautiful singing! And the guitar sounds really good too as far as I can tell, it’s not that easy to always hear it well as it mixes with the backgroud music.

I know this song has been out for quite a while now but it’s new to me and I love it! I played it in the house and my hubby was like “who is that?” I played it in the car with my mom and she was like "who is that? They like it too! It’s a great song and was not the easiest to learn but I kinda like a challenge and Justin teaches it well so…:sign_of_the_horns:

Hi Sonyal!

I enjoyed your take on Stop this Train! Good job!!!

Although I’m not a huge John Mayer fan, I wish I could play pretty much anything/everything from his Continuum album! Also, his ballad version of Last Train Home is on my “Dreamers” list… beautiful song with an exquisite solo!

Thanks for your post! Good listen!

Tod
