    The time has finally come. After many requests and years of planning I finally felt I was able do this classic Mayer track justice. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is the quintessential clean Stratocaster single coil tone, with a riff as iconic as the man himself. I hope you enjoy my take!

    Absolutely insane phrasing, bending precision, octaves playing, SRV/Mayer-style rake sound, tone, improv skills, the list goes on. this is the BEST cover of any Mayer song I've ever seen. No actually, the best cover of any song I have ever seen. I will download this video as an audio file and put this into my mp3.

    Hey there. So... I'm 55, and ..you know..we've all been doing this for a long time. And there's something about a stratocaster in the right hands that always tears my focus away from all the other important things I should be doing, and it just resonates in my bones. I e played many different instruments and I gotta say...it's the strat that I wanna hear. Well done Sean Mann . I love everything I've be heard from you.

      @@muditsingh5686 Actually yes, for sure. I could literally teach it to you in about 15 minutes- then if you practiced a few days, you could do it. It's just a pattern called a Pentatonic Box shape. It's hard to mess up honestly. If you never played it seems really hard. Before I played (over 20 years now), I was like you. I would stand at the end of a stage, mouth open saying that is IMPOSSIBLE and I could NEVER, EVER do that. Today I can.
      I have taken Seans lessons. He is an excellent player and can play some things better then I can- but again, this little run is very simple. Even he will tell you that. If you pay attention closely, he is mostly repeating many of the same notes, at the same place on the neck and using a hammer-on, pull-off technique so it appears fast and difficult. It really is not.
      If you dig guitar, you should consider giving it a try- take some lessons. I recommend a site called TrueFire. I still take lessons and love this site- also Zombie Guitar is great. In person in the beginning helps a lot. If you want to see something really hard to play- dig on this: ua-cam.com/video/S33tWZqXhnk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TommyEmmanuel%2CCGP
