Slow Dancing In A Burning Room 

pilky27 is like a comet that passes in the sky, he's there for a second and gone for a while

And when the world needed him most, he came back.

pilky27 is an absolute legend. No links, no website, no channel art, no selling, no ads, we don't even know his real name. Just a mysterious music master who wants to share music. Heck, he might be your neighbor. Ride off into the sunset, pilky27. You are legend.

It’s been 3 years now, you’re allowed to come back pilky 😢

He finally remembered his RU-vid account password

IT ONLY TOOK A PANDEMIC TO BRING THIS MAN BACK

Sometimes I feel sad when I realize that Pilky is out there. Walking around. And nobody will ever know his face. When you see him on the street, you have no idea that he’s one of the internets most beloved guitarists ever.

This channel is the definition of quality over quantity

It's been less than 3 years, this isn't allowed

I love the idea that this is just some dad who has a full time job and has to wait until the next time his wife and kids go away for the weekend before he can make another video...

This isn’t even a cover anymore... it’s the original song without John’s vocals. Absolutely insane quality. Bravo man!

Waiting for the next video

Yet again we are gathered, bearing witness to a miracle. Years of waiting and anticipation, followed by minutes of beauty. We continue to wait, and then reunite, in a time different than today.

we can see whole history of digital camera industry in pilky27's videos....

its been a month and i still come back to this vid good shit, pilky really good shit

Pilky is a definiton of a chad. He is a master at guitar, yet seeks no fame and notoriety, he just plays because he likes it, uploads when he feels like it and probably isn't aware of the massive following he gets, because he doesn't care. He's busy, and that's fine with us.

Pilky really is just the most amazing Stratocaster salesman in the world.

Featuring: Lord of the Rings: The return of the king

My man does a pitch-perfect cover and dips for literal years, still gets to 100k subs. Proof that this platform still allows for truly good content to have its place after all.

Beautiful. See you all in a few years for the video. Honestly, the huge gaps between uploads somehow makes it all that much more special.

I love how this channel has gained a kind of mythological standard among John Mayer and Hendrix fans. It's like this person appears for a moment then vanishes to live life, knowing they're still famous to a community of people who love seeing these videos every few years. You can't make this up 😂😂😂😂😂

I just got this notification and said "wait who is this and why do I have notifs on?" and then it really hit me

we should take a moment to appreciate the other band members, not just the guitarist, without them it wouldnt be so good like how it is now

I love how JM's studio version, L.A. live and Two-Rock demo are all intertwined in this take here. All this mixed with pilky27's flavor as well. Amazing. Beautiful. Thank you for this!

Finally he's playing his own songs again

I new video from Pilky is like witnessing an eclipse once every 5 years

Can’t believe this was two years ago. I remember when this came out, I was so excited Pilky was back. Beautiful rendition, come back soon!

Almost forgot to watch this today

All these comments talking about how they think he's John Mayer- but I think we should appreciate him for who he really is: he's pilky27, and he's back.

Don’t leave us again. The world needs you

Does anyone else find them selves coming back to this over and over ?

This guy even has the OM-28JM witch is the martin guitar that John uses, made from 2003-2004, only 404 made, quite possible one of the best looking acoustic guitars i have ever seen. They go for around 10K$ used. This guy has to be the best youtube guitarist ever.

I really like Jamie Harrison, great guitarist, bought a few of his things and such. But when pilky posts a new video my world stops for like 3 days.

The return of Pilky! When humanity had lost all hope, he emerged to save 2020!

Waiting for this man to upload another one of the internets most perfect guitar covers is my meaning of life

I like how this guy just comes back every few years

"Scientists baffled, as covid-19 is eradicated overnight by mysterious musical entity, pilky27."

Holy SHIT PILKY IS BACK PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS PLS PLS PLS

This is immaculate. By god. It's a direct love letter to the song. Every single variation of the song is in there (studio, two-rock amp check, WTLI, recent live performances) and then adding a little bit of you own style at the end. Absolutely incredible. Well well well done!

2:03 got absolute chills when the drums, piano, and the guitar came in perfectly mixed

Wow, Pilky really nailed the John Mayer style. It sounds exactly lik- *wait*

Man the sound is dead on, not to mention the playing, epic

This is JUST. SO. GOOD. I keep re-listening to it.

It's not a silly little moment It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath of This love that we've been working on Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms We're going down And you can see it too We're going down And you know that we're doomed My dear We're slow dancing in a burning room I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty 'Cause you can't understand We're going down And you can see it too We're going down And you know that we're doomed My dear We're slow dancing in a burning room Go cry about it, why don't you? Go cry about it, why don't you? Go cry about it, why don't you? My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room Burning room Burning room Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we should have learned somehow? Dont you think we oughta know by now? Dont you think we should have learned somehow? Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we should have learned somehow?

Pilky, the only man who could save 2020 🙏🏻

Lets not forget to appreciate the production quality pilky put into this one, god damn

This guy has been such an inspiration to so many people. I lost interest in guitar for a while, and watching your videos has really inspired me to start back up again. I’ll never be as good as you but i’ll try my best.

This is the final song I want played at my memorial service. For we all are slow dancing in life's burning room.

The clip starts, the camera begins to pan back. The anticipation builds. Could it be? Could this be the day that the great and mysterious Pilky reveals his true identity? The slow rearward pan continues. How we have wondered, how we have waited. Three long years have felt like an eternity. Suddenly, just as hope reaches it's apex, the camera stops, pauses briefly and is then once again drawn back in by the immense gravitational pull of the man, the myth, the legend. Alas it is not meant to be. The secret things belong to the Lord, but the music revealed belongs to us and to our children forever.

That final solo is HIGH CANDY OF NOTE

I just happened to stumble across someone else covering this song on youtube and remembered I'd forgotten to watch this today. So here I am. Nothing else compares.

I started watching pilky27 for his Hendrix covers. Part of me really wants to see him (and his band) do some pink floyd covers. 🤘🏼🤙🏼✌🏼👍🏼

THE GOD IS BACK

He never left, he was just slow dancing in a burning room.

I watch this every month

I love how hes using the same guitar as the one he used 8 years ago for Little Wing. Chips are in the same spot lol.

I could only imagine the guitar faces this man was making while playing this masterpiece.

I literally discovered this song 2 days ago and it's stuck in my head and now you upload it. Im in heaven

And when the world needed him most, he vanished

I know I can't be the only one who likes Pilky's version better than the original. Utterly amazing.

when the world needed him the most, he came back

no way and the _quality_ of it all

I've probably listened to this 50 times in the last week and it gets better every single time. Words cannot describe how incredible this cover is Pilky. Thank you for the gift!

I left guitar for a year and half and nothing ignites the spark like seeing a master at work.

"Dad, why is my sister named Rose?" "Because your mother loves roses," says his father. "Thanks, dad." "No problem, pilky27"

He's back and with a headless master Band!! They're The Talking Headless

Almost due for another cover!

Man this cover is simply EPIC! Keep up with the breathtaking videos. You inspire us so much with your amazing playstyle in every single aspect!

Say "I" if you would pay for an only fans from this guy for exclusive guitar covers

Glad you found some bandmates pilky, for those that didn't notice you can see a guy playing drums in the background at 4:24

You are the best guitarist on the platform Congratulations.

Videos like these used to make me want to give up guitar. Now they just make me want to never stop practicing.

Doctors: “ you only have 5 minutes left to live” Me: *opens this video* Doctors: “but sir..” Death: “it’s alright, I’ll wait.”

He’s back. And now he brought friends. This is a remarkable moment, m'dears.

his setup changed! the legend is back frfr

Your stairway to heaven cover inspired me to play when I was younger. Youre videos always inspire me to pick up my guitar.

A Pilky never shows his face... this is the way

Damn John Mayer really is my favorite RU-vidr

Pure talent. That tone is extremely accurate. Thanks for this cover!

Absolutely incredible!

Oh so he can play bass, drums, AND tambourine all flawlessly as well? And he’s good with his camera work!??? He might just be the 2nd coming of jesus

Don't leave again pls man.

Pilky, it´s been two years, we need another video

Absolutely amazing

Hi Mr Mayer, I see you are back on RU-vid after gigs were cancelled this year. In all seriousness, a new Pilky video is always a treat, hope you have a good Christmas my man. Rock on 🤟

Most underrated guitar channel on RU-vid with one of the most loyal fanbases

This is absolutely incredible

simply beautiful

It took nearly the end of the world for this gentleman to come back.

The best John Mayer, Hendrix and SRV covers are made by you and Jamie Harrison

This cover is for me like a morning sunshine. Thank you.

Every Strat has a story to tell, I'm all ears.....

The best guitarist no one has ever heard of

I would really like to see a collab between pilky27 and Jamie Harrison

Absolutely wonderful!!

This is by far the best cover I have EVER seen. Incredible job bro!

I never thought I’d live to see the day Pilky uploaded

Just wow... The production quality has really improved since those first few videos. The playing has always been perfect though.

The ending is absolutely life-changing.

Very inspirational. Not just by your playing but with your video editing as well. So simple, pure, and true. Love it.
