Slow Dancing in a Burning Room – John Mayer (acoustic)119
Posted on December 22nd, 2008 in Cover Videos
In my opinion, one of John Mayer’s best songs. From the album “Continuum”.
- Please note – I realize this is not how John Mayer plays this. It works for me on acoustic, though.



[..YouTube..] nice cover try, like the version, but the singing is still to off
[..YouTube..] Very nice! I would appreicate it if you checked out my version of this song. THanks.-Jedi
[..YouTube..] wow this is a great cover! especially for one person. Me and my friend are trying to make a duet for this song since it got so much room for the second guitar, but ur cover is awesome!(and so is ur chord chart lol)
[..YouTube..] I like the voice, but your totally out of key, Part from that, great cover.Peace
[..YouTube..] COME ON DUDE,why making things easier?play it like he does,forget the capo,it will be harder but MUCH better
[..YouTube..] this kinda sucked. i expected better with the awesome looking mic and all.
[..YouTube..] doesnt sound all that bad, but i think you killed the song. John has a beautiful mellow, bluesy feel to this song, and you killed that for me
[..YouTube..] awesome equipment and guitar, nice cover try
[..YouTube..] Where is the “you’ll be a bitch because you can”.Thats a very important part of the song man
[..YouTube..] you killed the bluessy feeling of the song, your good but your version sounds more like a country song
[..YouTube..] Geez people, He was puttng his own spin on a cool song. Maybe he wasnt trying to sound exactly like the original.Unless you have a John Mayer tribute band why would you want to do it just like the original? The singing was fine..
[..YouTube..] yah i agree this does sound more country, than blues, but its good i guess?
[..YouTube..] @Nazman06
thanks! This video seems to generate a lot of negative comments.
[..YouTube..] @MichaelW1919 thanks, I guess?
[..YouTube..] @cutewhenyouscream96 I’m just not a big fan of swearing in songs…
[..YouTube..] Ahhh lose the capo bro. You can play without it. (: it’s tough, but sounds great when you do. Watch the tonality in your voice, and just keep practicing. Even John Mayer isn’t always perfect lol.
[..YouTube..] I don’t understand the ratings and the comments, it’s well sang and well played it sounds great, it’s just different from the original so what? it’s gonna kill anyone.
[..YouTube..] the cover is great if you ask me
[..YouTube..] well you certainly have some nice gear.
