This is John Mayer's cover of Route 66 from the movie Disney/Pixar movie "Cars". Its all
twelve bar blues in the key of G. Have fun with this tab.
There are pretty much just these three chords: G7, C9, and D9.
Here is the "jazz form" of these three chords that sound the best with this song.
G7 C9 D9
e|--x----------3----------5---------|
B|--3----------3----------5---------|
G|--4----------3----------5---------|
D|--3----------2----------4---------|
A|--x----------3----------5---------|
E|--3----------x----------x---------|
The rhythm is more of a faster jazz rock in the beginning and goes to a slower bluesy
rhythm.

Okay, so the pattern isn't to complicated. Its just keeps on like this till the end
the song. In the ending blues solos it just changes rhythm type and tempo but all the
are the same.
