A smooth, soul-inspired groove where Mayer's economical solo shows the neo-soul influence on his Continuum era.

I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You), from Continuum, rides a smooth, soul-inspired groove, and John Mayer's economical solo reflects the neo-soul influence of this period. His lines are clean and relaxed, with small bends and tasteful vibrato that fit the song's laid-back feel. The solo avoids flash in favour of melody and phrasing, adding warmth to the arrangement. Listen for how he uses space between phrases, letting the groove carry the music, and how each note seems carefully placed to enhance the song's intimate, reflective mood rather than draw attention to itself.
