Slow Dancing In A Burning Room (Live in LA) - John Mayer - by Jamie Harrison (Lesson In Description) 

I purchased this lesson from Jamie’s website a few days ago and just “finished” learning the intro. As an intermediate guitarist, I assumed I would just download the tabs and ignore the video lessons. I was wrong. Jamie is a PHENOMENAL teacher. His explanations of both the techniques and individual notes are slow enough that you can easily follow along without being too long that you find yourself skipping through the video. Each lesson is also broken down into easily digestible sections WITH the corresponding section of tab below the video so you can see both at the same time. Not cheesy scrolling tabs within the video, but the video and static tabs for the section on the same page. Genius. If you’re on the fence about buying his lessons: do it. You will not regret it. It’s clear how much time and effort he put into them. I can guarantee when I finish this one I’ll be buying more. I know this sounds like a paid promotion, but I simply cannot get over how surprised and impressed I am with the format, content, and quality of this lesson. We’ll done, Jamie. You have a life-long student.

I almost forgot to watch this today

*devil* : you can only become a god with the guitar if you trade something valuable with me *jamie* : take my head

Who else dream of nailing this solo in the future as a beginner-Intermediate guitar player ?

This song personifies every aspect of what a great Stratocaster is supposed to sound like. Well done, Jamie. You've certainly got this tune dialed in.

This is the definition of perfection. YOU ROCK.

I think the reason why you didn't show your face is that so people wouldn't know that you are John Mayer covering your own song. God damn, dat tone.

if anyone has any doubts as to how incredible of a guitarist/artist john mayer is, he not only played this song incredibly well live.. he did so while singing.

Love him or hate him, John Mayer is a guitar legend.

When a fretboard looks like that you know it's gonna be good.

No intro, cuts right into him playing. Plays an insanely difficult songs flawlessly for about five minutes, ends with a link to his website. No words at all were spoken, not anything. That, is what I call great branding. Now I'm going over to your website and if I could manage to learn this song remotely similar to how you played it, I could die feeling accomplished.

There should be an 1 hour version for people in quaratine

This tone is like being hugged by an old friend. It's so warm and full.

John Mayer starts RU-vid channel under the name Jamie Harrison to troll fans.

This is so good it makes me sick to my stomach

3:03 THIS IS THE F$%^&* SOLO

Brain - Must Learn This Fingers - Nope

Pretty sure @ 0:53 I heard a few thousand girls start screaming.

Haven't seen anyone mention the right hand at 1:10

3:02. Holy shit...

That tone is like a warm blanket next to a fire with it cold and raining outside.

3:00 God damn dat tone hit me like a truck

He's like a white John Mayer

Why is John Mayer putting out covers of his own songs under a different name?....

Still the best played version on the internet. Well done.

I rarely ever post comments on RU-vid, but as a RU-vidr myself, I needed to tell you how good your channel is. Your video and audio quality are top-notch (not to mention your ability). Definitely going to be purchasing all of your lessons to support you and improve upon my guitar skills. I'm a huge JM / SRV fan and I'm looking forward to using your tutorials to learn this style! Keep up the great work, Jamie! -Chris

Anyone else watch this for the tenth time and still say “holy $h!t” at the end?

Thank you, almighty RU-vid algorithm, for bringing me to this channel.

Who else here making this their Quarantine Resolution?

That fender tone is so beautifull

😲 fantastic

I've often been puzzled how people leave thumbs down on any musician performing. Let alone one who's mastered a style to perfection. These people can only be jealous. Certainly not other artists. Nailed it Bro... Always amazed by your perfection of the smallest details

Ok John Mayer you can't fool us

Because of this cover, I went from having no interest in learning the electric (I'm into acoustic and bass) to buying a new Strat and getting Jamie's course. And yes, it's well worth it. What I like the most is his broad view and detailed approach into teaching. Thanks Jamie for this.

The only RU-vid ad I've watched all the way through.

That amazing solo at 3:00 gets me every time ❤

Every time he kicks into that solo over the loop I have tears stream down my face. So much soul in that solo. His lessons are really good too. Well worth every penny.

He literally looks like John Mayer without a head wut

If mayer can't make the gig they only need to give you a call. Simple.

the chest hair is distracting but your a hell of a guitar player

Chills dude. Wow. THAT TONE! You nailed every single aspect of this 100%

That song is one of my absolute favorites and I hold covers of it to a very high standard. You completely crushed it. Ive seen a thousand covers of that song on RU-vid and that was hands down the best. Nailed the true feel of that song, which is the most difficult part. You HAVE to do a lesson on that one!

Congratulations on the 10,000 subs. I was just suggested this. Incredible sound and playing.

you know Mayer has searched people doing his stuff .... came across this and said... “dang nice”

That is the finest strat I’ve heard....ever

For anyone asking for a lesson for this song; the lesson is NOW AVAILABLE here: bit.ly/3LGB4Jj Lesson contains Videos, Tabs, Chords, Guitar, Amp, Tone discussion, other gear, studio gear, recording, microphones, looping etc. Loads of reviews in the RU-vid comments of any of my videos :) Thanks so much for all the amazing comments! I haven't been able to keep up! So glad you're enjoying the video! :)

Gotta be jealous of John Mayer. If this was the only hit record I ever wrote .. I'd retire and smug it up for the rest of my days. Too bad he has 50 more!

If I could only learn to play one song on guitar, this would be it.

I just finished learning this on Jamie's lesson. Man what an honor. If you are learning this song or this style of guitar work i HIGHLY suggest recommend and what else word i can use to say to buy his lessons. This guy works hard to make everything LEARNABLE, trust me even if you think its out of your skill range it will help you! I wouldnt really leave these comments but I absolutely love John Mayer, grew up on his guitar style but i never could finish a single song that I really wanted to learn on the guitar without cheating myself with some easy chord progression set up. Thank you Jamie i finally finished a dream song. Side note lessons include all sorts of techniques as well I bought the bundle and even if you know it, it wont hurt you and it will definitely help Jamie make more content.

john, please stop using nicknames. we know that's you and can upload some videos your "pilky27"?

I have to say dude that you actually made me cry. This song has a lot of personal importance for me, and for you play it so beautifully was so... amazing. Thank you.

You know you killed it when others covered your cover

How does he sit so still while playing that damn solo?!? I am moving like a fish on dry land in my bed

I’ve purchased this and Gravity and it’s some of the best money I’ve spent. Period.This guy is amazing

People who disliked this are so sad. I actually feel bad for them. They are incapable of anything positive.

wholly shomolly ...you are amazing Jamie, you have shown to be in master class - Eric Clapton calls John Mayer a master - you play so perfectly and clean! You are a master!! Thank you so much for makin my heart big with enjoyment watching you!

131 views are from me. Absolutely love this. Unfortunately i cant listen to other renditions. Even from the original artist. I want to purchase this track. My new strat crys to me and says PLEASE play this on me !

Since 2007 all the way until now I have Not Seen or heard anybody execute what you just did, everything heard on slow dancing in where the light is .you Absolutely Nailed it . You sir are a guitar hero!

If anyone is hesitant to buy the lessons from Jamie, then take it from someone who was in your place a week or so ago.. JUST DO IT. I, like many, believed that I already could play Slow Dancing in a Burning Room quite well and that I didn't need lessons. That said, I decided to purchase the lesson anyway, and was immediately floored with how precise and technical his lessons were. There are hours of videos filled with a comprehensive analysis of every note in the song. Not to mention, he throws in some invaluable tips as well to improve any level of guitar playing. Tips which are easily transferrable to numerous other aspects of guitar playing.. this guy is the real deal. He breaks down the song and shows all the subtle tricks that really gives JM some of his tone. I highly recommend his lessons to anyone who wants to improve their guitar playing and learn some of JMs subtle tonal features.

The amount of feel and passion in that tone and playing is out of this world. Those low E's and A's ringing out under the intro chords are just beautiful

Saw this guy busk in Dublin and can honestly say his guitar playing is just half his talent...Undoubtedly the best guitar cover of this song on RU-vid. Keep it up brother

This honestly the closest I've ever heard anyone come to the real thing. Usually every tutorial I see sounds off but this one sounds perfect. Thanks a bunch

I love the look of that guitar. So worn out and crisp.

This is absolute gold. Incredible playing, tone and feel. Thank you

3:03! Ooooofffftttt

Do you think John might have actually watched this video... 🤔🤔

Out of curiosity, where did you get that denim jacket? super nice..... playing wasn't to shabby either ;)

Still listening to this in 2024 brother 🫡

Killing it as usual man! Bought your Bold as Love lesson and can't wait until you release this one! You're an incredible talent man

I hv never seen a more clean & beautifully-done guitar cover on YT before. You did the song justice & added your own touch to it as well. Keep it up

Good job fooling everyone that this is not you John. :-p

I just need 10 hour version of this 0:00 - 0:53

I've taken a bunch of online guitar classes and I can say, without hesitation, that Jamie's are the best by miles. If you want to become proficient in this style of playing, buy Jamie's classes - you won't regret it!

Amazing feel and touch to your playing and exceptional tone. Total respect.

Hi Jamie, Just wanted to say many thanks for the swift reply and fix with my course material!! I have to say I think your guitar playing & teaching material is fantastic but I think what stands you apart is you genuine personality, and desire to support and ensure your customers have a fantastic experience. Most people want to make money and do it for less these days but I can see your more than that, and your honesty as a person shines through in your the way you conduct yourself. Most people/businesses neglect that human touch and don't realise the key to having a strong brand is personality! So kudos to you and your hard work as its much too rare these days to find good people like you. Many thanks Dan

how would one dislike this video? truly an amazing musician.

There Is A LOT of practice right there

I Hear Many Of Life's Emotions ..........Right There....Incredible Creation....Privileged To Have Witnessed This...Thank You.

Me again: listening this song one more day. Has been like that since two years. Congrats for this version

The whole video is unbelievably great but 3:03-4:29...inject that into my veins!

god damn, that tone man... A+ dude, congrats!

This song is legit. I’ve purchased all of Jamie’s lessons and it’s the only place I’ve been able to learn how to truly play this style of music. The customer support is also great. I had an issue with my email last purchase and Jamie responded promptly and got it straightened out. Overall great music and great lesson experience.

masterfully done, better than original by far. love the transitions, crescendos, looping, tonal varieties, et al!!! great quarantine music!

Not often that guitar playing has made me tear up but man, this really hit that spot for some reason.

I wish I could play this in front of an ocean of LADIES

I keep coming back to this several times a day. Absolutely mesmerizing! I'm buying my first electric guitar very soon, and I will definately be buying your lessons!

I don’t think I blinked watching this ♥️♥️♥️

I spent my whole life as a bass player, listening to bass heavy music and just listening to music completely different. I started focusing heavy on acoustic guitar a few years ago and more recently bought a 74 strat I have been putting work in the woodshed. As a result a lot of music I overlooked has come my way, this piece being one of them. One of the best solos I have ever heard. Modern hendrix

What makes this cover special is his dynamic playing. Breathtaking at times

My love just said “I don’t love you anymore...” And i came here, crying. I think i don’t feel good.

I purchased the course to learn this. Its absolutely fantastic. Even as a beginner, his instructions are easy to follow. It's broken down in a way that anyone can play. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn this!

One of the best version of this song I've ever seen on RU-vid. Very passionate playing.

15 seconds in the video and you know how much of a seasoned guitarist he is. Brilliant!

I have watched this video a countless number of times but I’ve never commented; I can’t tell you how overcome with nostalgia this cover makes me every time, man. John’s LA performance of this song singlehandedly inspired me to pick up and learn guitar back in 8th grade so it holds a special place in my heart haha. Anyway thanks for doing it justice the way it deserves!

when I heard the intro I immediately get my earbuds and turn on to full volume, I felt the emotions of every note you played. What a treat in a saturday while drinking my coffee, thanks a lot, keep it up! new subsciber here, love and respect from the Philippines.

There's something so much more emotional about this without the lyrics... I don't know how to put it in words: I guess that's the point. Thank you Jamie!

I kept listening to this wonderful version, and now the course is the Christmas gift from my girlfriend, I am so pleased and happy to try & learn, improve, and just enjoy the music. Thanks so much Jamie, I'll have the pleasure of being your student for this and I am grateful. And yeah, my gf is awesome

I listened to this at least 5 times a day thinking i could never play it like Jamie. I finally bought the lesson, and he is just incredible. Not only super charismatic but the way explains every part is just amazing. Im only just through the intro but I highly recommend his lesson, worth every penny. I will be purchasing more

He does so so fucking solid bends and has such a perfect rhythm and flow it's just insane

I’m really tempted to buy Jamie course but I need to finish the ones I have paid for already. lol. Unless Jamie throws it an amazing deal this Christmas
