    Special thanks to PRS Guitars for sending me out a Silver Sky SE for this video! I was blown away when I first plugged this guitar in. It came to me already intonated, had perfect action, and sounded like a million bucks. It really made me want to dig in to those bluesy bends, especially in the outro solo. Mayer himself is correct in mentioning that you can really hear the high frequencies of this instrument when you play the lower notes and that’s what makes it such a great instrument.
    This video is my interpretation of the Live in LA version of this song. I checked out hand positionings and everything from the videos. This is how I believed he played it. An isolated guitar track would have helped me more but there isn’t really one out there that separates the guitar well from everything else going on in the mix. The production of this tune was just amazing and no wonder it gets the recognition it rightfully deserves. Such a great song.
    I’ve been listening to all of your requests and I am working each day to get them in on this page. Are there any more John Mayer songs that you would like to see here? Leave a comment below!

      Awesome transcription! 👏🌟 I have a request but not a John Mayer song, please could you make a tutorial on dolly dagger by Jimi Hendrix(ua-cam.com/video/-E2A60WslXg/v-deo.html)? There aren't many good tutorials on it with tabs.

      That's because he's playing along with the "where the light is" live version. So, it was realistic because it was real.

    Say what you will about Mayer's music, there's no denying he is a master of the guitar.
    Absolutely brilliant cover, Mr. Tabs. This is the kind of diversity I'd love to see more of on your channel. While I grew up with the chugga chugga chugga and weedly weedly weedly, there's so much more out there for guitarists to play and learn from.

    So much respect for you Mr Tabs! I had to shelve this a while back. I'll have to revisit it now. I'm not very experienced but I tried learning this, and for me anyway, it is probably the best example of a song that sounds easier to learn than it is. I can play the notes but holy crap I can't make it sound smooth, not even close. Thanks for this video!

    Verse 1
    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
    Chorus 1
    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
    Verse 2
    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
    Chorus 2
    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
    Bridge
    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
    Interlude 3
    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?
