Chorus:
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
#JohnMayer #SlowDancingInABurningRoom #Continuum #Letterman
I met John once when I used to work for Sony Music. The dude took the time to meet record label staff before his gigs. And he'd hang. No rush. He'd ask you questions and try get to know you. I liked that about him, he was genuine. Anyway, I fell in love with him from that point on and really got into his albums and this became my fav song of his.
It's a hell of a tune. Masterpiece even.
Holy shit its Karl rock
Hey Karl, I hope you’re doing aight man.
@@jcwab Doing ok bro. Thank you 🙏
Well well well....look who's here. Small world huh. Sometimes you just forget content creators can be consumers too! Karl Rock, you should totally check out his new album called 'Sob Rock' (I tried to make it rhyme but nvm). Also, hope you get your Indian Visa and get to be with your family soon :)
You don't understand how hard it is to play that solo unless you play the guitar. He makes it seem easy. John Mayer is a fricken BEAST.
That's So True! The guy is phenomenal on guitar
Not just the solo, all the stuff he does in his guitar while he sings..
Gabriel Pacheco DUDE! that's exactly what I was thinking.... he does some insanely wild stuff all while singing! WTF.
John Mayer is a blues legend and criminally underrated guitarist, he could play lead in any band easily. When Eric Clapton the man himself gives you the highest praises....You're in the club.
Underrated? By who?
Yea but I wouldn't sat he was extremely underrated. I mean he is a 7 time Grammy winner. And he won em when internet had no relevance and when Grammys weren't full of politics. So yea I think JM just doesn't have anything else to write about rn cuz he wrote out and sang all his emotions out 10 20 years back already. He ll go down as a GOAT in pop rock what a legend he is .
Even Ritchie Blackmore said he likes John Mayer
You damn skippy!!$
he's a great pop musician. eric clapton is a fuckin wanker, and not really that great of a guitar player anyways.
Love him or hate him he's one of the best guitarist in the world
Dedinately. Amazing player.
Whos gonna hate this guy man may all time favourite guitarist ❤
I remember the first time I saw him shredding a solo in a crossroads festival video and it changed my whole musical perception.
@@johnblitzhill1331 all time? dude there is jimi hendrix, jimmy page, richie blackmore, eddie van halen, tony iomni, bb king, eric clapton, stevie ray vaughan, jeff beck, david gilmour and so many others
@@gregzao4086Yeah! Definetly love them all lol! and falcon syl, peter green, magic sam, slash. You know richard fortus? Hell of a player too!
that voice is so beautiful that you dont give a fuck the room is burning. all you care about is that youre slow dancing with john mayer.
YES LETS BE REAL NOW
***** Hahahahaha
Hahaha hahahahahah totally true!
he uses auto tune... said he is not a singer.. just a guitar player.. wtf right ?
no offense to john, but he is most certainly NOT a singer
This guy's guitar work is out of this world.
😂😂 it so is...
Check @alipbata
Mmmmm
Best in the world
I had none dea he was so good until I saw him play with Bob Weir in the Dead and Company tour. Incredible.
I bought the wrong guitar, mine doesn’t do that
Same
do what? Sex?
I wrote to Fender explaining this waiting on a reply, I think it might be the pickups not too sure.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO ORIGINAL OMG DID YOU MAKE THIS COMMENT
Yeah; I sent mine back to Fender too; They probably have a special dumpster out back of the factory, just for "JM inspired Strat Returns"
if you play guitar, you know what he’s doing here. Hats off Mr. Mayer
And if you're a singer, you know what he's not doing.
@@inspire4change619 hahaha....A for effort tho?
@@inspire4change619 he is a decent singer and an excellent guitarist
Explain give an explanation. Always learning
@@emanndaman8315 he just mean t that what mayer is playing is difficult and very hard to replicate.
I don't think there's a more sexy song about a relationship that's going to hell.
Ryann F word
Amen
Two by the Antlers is better song about a relationship going to hell, not sexier though.
Robert Cray - Right Next Door (Because Of Me) ;)
Hahaha
Perfect balance of soul, rock, and blues.
Damien.L Well said. Your comment is food for thought.
@@damien.l6918 was thinking the same thing myself
Hello beautiful!!! Thanks for taking your time accepting my request and also thanks a lot for the likes and comment on my Official Facebook Page. I thank you for your support and for the appreciation you've offered over the years..I hope you keep listening and enjoying my music.
His fender gave birth 9 months after this live
U MEAN BLACK ONE?
😂😂😂😂
why is everyone commenting about rose? This is JOHN MAYER. Greatest guitarist in the world.
Because we discovered this great song because of her. No hate pls, John mayer himself appreciated her by giving her a guitar 🎸 ❤️
Finally someone! pisses me off that people find Rose's performance more fascinating! what a waste!
@@shubhamdholu5181 bless up man
Who’s Rose?
I come back here sometimes when I want to remember what real music sounds like.
same:)
seen.
Exactly
Exactly
I come back to this page just read this comment!
Eric clapton says john mayer is a master guitarplayer. enough said
I think I'd fall out on the floor if that was said about me.
He also said that about Eric Johnson...
And then there’s Mark Knopfler and Stevie Ray Vaughan who make this sound mediocre at best
James Harris mark knopfler? Really?
@@JS-rp7qb Although James' comment is utterly useless, I agree with him that Mark is indeed one of the greatest, but there is no point in comparing guitar players that have different styles and are from different eras.
Anybody watching different live performances of this song just to appreciate the different ways he can play this masterpiece?
Yes, this one is my favorite though. The end solo always leaves me with a feeling. His touch is incredible, the guitar is really an extension of himself at this point.
Just saw him in his SOLO tour; he opens with this song on acoustic guitar-He is simply superb, & he’s matured into a more humble, self-respecting MAN, which only adds to his gravitas & greatness!! A BEAST that cannot be denied. Full stop.
I put that concert right in my top 3: Jack White @ Red Rocks, & Queens of The Stone Age. John, Jack, & my beloved Josh… each different, but each tight as hell, & absolutely beautiful improvisers! Just amazing. My son is a guitarist. He too is basically crushed by John’s broad & completely unique talent. Those solo riffs🤯🤯🤯🫶🏼🙆🏼♀️😭
Ha, yuuuuup! ❤😂
As a guitarist and a huge Mayer fan, can’t tell you how brilliant the bit from 2:35 to 2:50 is..
It’s mad. I got mesmerised watching it. Then he kicks in with the solo and adds the tap in for the fun of it. Mad.
2.50 - 3.05 is better
@@richat1691 slidin and improvising like you know what the fretboard is gonna sound like is a VERY big skill. The slide part was masterful. He know how to build up to a solo
Hey Abhinav - as a guitarist for almost 50 years now, I 100% agree with you - simply beautiful, understated, lyrical and utterly perfect for that moment in the song. This is why people should be inspired by their guitar heroes but always cut their own path and NOT try and imitate their sound and style. Sure I've "stolen" licks and ideas from all the greats, Mayer included, but there is a saying that "comparison is the thief of joy" which always rings true to me. I can never be Hendrix, Page or Mayer - I can only be me, just like they could never be Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters or BB King. Mayer is a true great of modern blues. Last guy close to him in last 30 years for me was Robert Cray. Anyway... those sublime slides man 😍
@@richat1691 0:00 to 6:36 is better
Dang, so much feels in that solo. Say what you want about John Mayer and compare him to other guitarists when at the end of the day there is no point doing that - the man can really play and is the real deal!
Timliu92 dude he just shreds my heart to pieces before the end
After taking a listen in John Frusciante's solos... I can't feel anything with anything else
Igor Lisboa I love both Frusciante and Mayer. I strongly believe that they are two of the best guitarists of all time.
Timliu92 I like John Mayer but Carlos Santana is my personal favorite. What's your favorite guitarists guys?
Ii's art. Not a competition.
My whole dream in life is to pull off something as casually perfect as that tapped note at 3:10. He slips it in there with such coolness. I'm a little bit gay for that tap.
That was a smooth slip
Man I don't even play guitar but that was so perfect and seamless
I almost slapped my laptop screen at that point out of frustration.
Dude I come back to this video just to see that tap lol
It's like when you see someone so beautiful it makes you angry
Forever gonna thank Rosé for introducing this song to me, was and still addicted to her cover and now also addicted to the og song, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMFG
I’m a guitarist and I like JM a lot. I have to say that Rose’ did a great job on her cover of Burning Room. She has a real genuine quality to her voice. For a young lady she’s got soul. That gal is going places.
You should listen to his Albums, all his songs are Awesome both lyrically and musically. For beginners/New fans just google John Mayer's Top/Best songs and just play the ones that come on.
Gosh, he’s an artist. That’s pure expression.
Thank y'all for your love and support,I really appreciate🥰❤️
Shout out to Professor Snape on the second guitar!
+Ivaylo Keremidarski RIP :(
+Ivaylo Keremidarski A young non-professor Snape.
+Gabo Palacios He finally broke away from James' bullying. Good for you, Snape.
+Ivaylo Keremidarski Shout out to james franco on lead vocals
And shout out to Terry Crews on vocals 2:22
I think that guitar spoke about four different languages...my goodness
Cerrone Samuel only four?
Music speaks all languages
Sound about right think I even heard a little Bulgarian cursing right at the middle of the song
Cerrone are you BIack???
@@tigerstripe3820 wait what
I hate how good he thinks he is and that he's right.
4:28 …man. That opening to the outro solo is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever heard someone play on a guitar. Nothing he’s played before or since comes close to the beauty of that solo.
And not to mention the mid solo.
What a masterful performance. The sound of the band, John’s incredible playing and the great sound mixing make for one of the most beautiful performances of any song ever.
agreed something about those opening bends
And more precisely this phrase 💔: 4:32
Beautiful song, and it's like it was designed to play live. There is so much room for improvisation in it. The way the song is structured, it really doesn't matter what kind of solo you play. You can play something slow or shred your ass off, and it will sound good. This is the true mark of a great and truly underrated songwriter.
3:10... not technically difficult but the finnesse he pours into it man. blown away
That's the crossroads between someone who plays by the book, and someone who plays by feel, and JM has feel in spades. Just look at Taking on Water.
well said inside out anus haha
Hello beautiful!!! Thanks for taking your time accepting my request and also thanks a lot for the likes and comment on my Official Facebook Page. I thank you for your support and for the appreciation you've offered over the years..I hope you keep listening and enjoying my music.
His music is what music is fundamentally about, expressing emotions and thoughts. It’s not flashy, you have to really pay attention to it.
"it's not flashy" as he proceeds to melt the everloving fuck off of everyone's faces with one of the best solos ever recorded. Lol jk I know what you mean.
Nice put.
Experiences to inspire, motivate, entertain
Damn, Snape on guitar, Terry Crews on backing vocals, Paul McCartney on bass and David Harbour on drums... Great line up!
Lmao
Lol. When I saw Terry Crews singing I thought "whaaaaaat?"
exactly
McCartney on bass 😆
That’s funny- I didnt see Snape until the end-
Still and always be my number one track on Continuum
Agun Wiriadisasra stop this train!
Belief and I Don't Trust Myself are up there for me as well as Vultures.
I really liked gravity
Vultures.
Agun Wiriadisasra “belief” is awesome too. Continuum is an amazing album. Definitely my favorite, but if you’re looking for live John Mayer, “where the light is” is an amazing album.
A performance so potent the entire front row became pregnant. How can one man have such power?
There are lots of words to describe JM and his playing, mine is “fluent”, he’s speaking his mother tongue when he plays.
5:59 buddy is a literal machine
There are no bad versions of this song.
But this one's the best!
i saw him in concert less than a week ago and i can't look at music the same way.
Thank you, John Mayer.
Thank y'all for your love and support,I really appreciate❤️
if you play guitar, you will respect him as a master
That solo was the most John Mayer thing I’ve ever seen
2:22 - Terry Cruise singing back up vocals lol
john siafega AHHAHSHAUSAHUAHAHAHAHAH
The EXACT same thing I think every time I watch this! Dying of laughter!
lmao just said that exact same thing on 'If Ever Get Around...' dont forget about Professor Snape on the other guitar
+Prince Slater Loool omg! Professor Snape is there too! HAHA! What is going on? 😂😂😂
+Soitsbabs 😆 right though?!
Incredible. He should have had the name John Legend.
Joe H thats a good one hahahhha
Haha :) True
John Legend already exists :D
already taken i guess
John Mayer is an absolute beast. One of the greatest of all time. Hendrix would be happy to meet him.
Rosé brough me here. Blackpink taste in music is awesome. Thanks to her another classic song is added to my playlist.
i like how many ways he can perform one song. Amazing artist. Definitely one of my all time fav artist.
that solo made me cream
***** cream?
jizz, spunk, ejaculate
now that is weird
Zaigham abbas only if someone doesn't have a sense of humour *cough* *cough* you *cough* *cough*
***** i am new to english. sorry i am not aware of your humour.
If he's good enough for The Dead, he's good enough for me.
Here bc of Rosie Posie and her beautiful cover of this masterpiece. Thank you for introducing this to me
John Mayer is one of the best guitar players and writers in 21st century America. The detractors should buy a JM songbook for Continium and try playing this song as Mayer wrote it, its not easy trust me... his complex chords and musical arrangements are not for Amateurs or even average players....
I agree, it takes much more than an average guitarist to play this stuff, let alone write it.
I totally agree.
i'm an advanced guitar player and "Neon" is still very difficult to me haha
Diego Palominos hell yea it is ha the whole beginning of Where the Light is has to be some of the best acoustic work ive ever seen, plus he doesn't mess up hardly the entire show and its all live.
I don't even think it's even just playing the music! You've gotta be able to have the feel and rhythm! Even then u won't play it the way he does :)
4:40 when he adds the pinky I completely lose it... so effortless!
Favorite guitar player ever, can't believe I see him live this year 💚
Best part of the entire song for sure
That's what she said!
Sorry dude, couldn't help it 😂
You you kill it on your page bro!
he doesnt add a pinky ?
@@richat1691 are you watching?😂 the highest note is hit with the pinky in the arpeggios.
He's always been underrated. He's an amazing musician
He's a great player
everybody is going wild on the first solo but the last one goddamn so much power in it you can just feel it damn
biggups to you johnn
The greatest guitarist of our generation.
I think there are better guitarists - Brad Paisley, David Grissom, Philip Sayce and Eric Gales spring to mind. But Mayer is very good and if you think he is the greatest then your opinion is as valid as mine.
Not bad looking either.
@@kevinjohnbetts check out the band earthless. Fucking killer guitarist
@@ryansoltwedel1041 Isaiah Mitchell? I know of him so I must have heard him. I will check the band out when I have some quality time to spare. So many really good guitarists out there it's hard to keep track of more than fraction of them. 😎👍
@@kevinjohnbetts someone just posted Brad Paisley and John Mayer crossroads from way back when Mayer's 2nd album debuted. And its impressive. Brad is great but you can tell Mayer is on a different when they are playing. Also it's back when Mayer wanted to make sure everyone knew he could shred and he was certainly showing off during some bits lol especially on "come back to bed".
people disliked i'm sure they've fast danced in a frozen room
Underrated comment
Copied comment
big brain time
One might say they shuffled in a walk in freezer...
Yeah and it was fucking awesome!
Everybody refers to his guitar prowess, deservedly. But the lyrics are perfect.
you can say what you want about him but he still a great guitar player and a genius is fact
I like the fact the backup singers are dancing along and enjoying themselves.
Probably one of the best prodigal musicians this generation.
I hope it's one of those things that will never disappear from the internet ❤
l agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul…
His vocal is not always on point, but his guitar play is f'ing amazing. Most underrated guitarist in the world.
Lasse Petersen this ones right after his vocal surgery
John Mayer is far from beeing unrerrated. Ask Clapton, Buddy Guy, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys or any muscian out there.
He may not be underrated among fellow musicians but he's sure as hell underrated by the average person.
only by the average person who only listen to the radio hits..
I totally agree with how amazing he is, However I wouldn't say under rated by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone knows this man, he's played with BB King and many others. He's doing well for himself. As he very well should. There is one pretty underrated guitarist I know who deserves more credit, and his name is Rabea Massad. Look up some of his 10-15min jams with his friends on youtube. He does a lot of stuff I love with blues and rock. Not a real big fan of his metal stuff, but to each his own, he's still awesome.
Solo and 'go cry about it..' part.. Listening over and over again, still not sick from it after all these years
0:47 This is how great of a performer/musician John Mayer is. He knew that note was flat, but he laughed it off and kept going! He's golden.
Rosé really use her platform so well (lowkey). She cover quality underrated songs, while other groups cover famous songs to chase clout. This is not the only song she covered that in not well known. That's why those artists are grateful to her. Her deep passion in music made her discover this song.
This song is very well known...you are probably simply too young and know little about music history. I do not mean this in an offensive way, im just saying.
@@goodtogo2876 bitch it got low views compared to famous artists like bruno mars, taylor swift, etc. Know the rankings.
Underrated? 🤣🤣🤣
@@gemini7091 lmaooo calm down little one. John Mayer is WELL KNOWN in the music industry and is respected by top tier musicians. Just bc he doesn’t get millions of views on every video doesn’t matter because most of the artist you listen to probably get inspiration from people like John Mayer
@@casey7531 How are those artists I listen to inspired by John Mayer when he isn't even known? Lmao. You think a person could be an artist just by inspiration without talent/ability to write? Idiot. Just go listen to his Music Video and make him well known since he ain't doing better than Ed Sheeran🤭🤌.
that is the most soulful solo I've heard in LONG time!
That tap though. 3:09
Rosé brought me here. Love the song❤️
Thanks for your lovely like and comments on my page, its great to know I have such a devoted fan like you. Much appreciated where are you From and how long have you been my fan?🌺🎶❣️🤗❣️
As a guitar player, this was fkn amazing to watch
started learning the solo... no problem... then I got to 2:56.... and I threw my guitar out the window
That little tapping lick right after that is fucking amazing, i think im going to try to learn the whole solo just for that
Shouldn't have done that... Oh yes, right thing to do after trying it on a les paul.
Also threw guitar out the window ... damn that shit is insane
That’s gotta be one of the best soul-flavored runs I’ve ever heard.
First you must become the guitar.
That solo is easily one of his bests. Like, Covered in Rain kinda good.
Neil Haynes definitely
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? First time tearing up watching a solo. Wow.
God, he just makes that thing wail. Hardly even need lyrics.
That first solo is literally sex on guitar. So beautiful. Although it wasn't one of his more complex and intricate solos, it was still so powerful through its beauty.
Soulful.
3:10 Even that little tap to bend and pull away pluck with his right hand blows my mind. You wouldn't even notice if you didn't play guitar. I don't like all of John's music but when he's playing I listen and watch.
I discovered John Mayer (which has changed my life for the better, and especially my guitar playing) when I watched an interview with him online, and the riff for slow dancing was playing in the background really low while John was talking to the interviewer. As soon as I heard the riff I knew the world was a bigger place than I thought before.
Very well put 👌
I'm here just putting John Mayer with Jimi Hendrix and SRV..... He is truly a legendary guitarist of our generation and is a phenomenal live performer
Can’t agree more.
Good lawd. Probably the most well timed tap I've ever seen.
Amazing. It‘s all in the details
NEVER GETS OLD
Rosé noona, thanks for introducing me on a bop song
Can someone be a part time lover to me
Listening to John Mayer?
Damn it I need to see him Live
***** i do not even wan't to see him live if i get payed for it :)
Leon Haven And it wouldn't be smart, cause it'd been free money, even if you don't like him xD
Teaeli Anderson lucky
I wonder if people in the audience realized what they were witnessing in this performance? This is one of the most stylishly masterful, technically magnificent, live guitar performances ever captured. Clapton, the greats...anyone who plays would agree...after they picked their collective jaw up off the ground....I guarantee. Think what you will about the man or his celebrity or whatever - but there aren't any left like this. Just had to be said. Carry on with your day.
I love John Mayer, he is too good to compare with....❤️❤️❤️
I went and saw John Mayer recently and afterwards I had a conversation with my father about how he stacks up with some of the greats. We both agreed that not only is he up there with Clapton, Hendricks, Paige, etc., but he's probably the last one of their kind. No one does this shit anymore.
He's a good guitar player and pop song writer, but he and this just don't do anything for me ..
ua-cam.com/video/WaFMC8ODHf0/v-deo.html
This guy ranks amongst the greatest guitar players I have ever heard - but the difference is that he sings as well
And arguably his best attribute is his songwriting.
The guitar solo FIRE, this song ABSOLUTELY FIRE
In every aspect outstanding musician. Those are rare nowadays...
Why haven’t I listened to this guy before? Not only is his music great but he’s one of hell of a guitarist.
In case anyone is wondering that is what real musicianship looks and sounds like.
I miss his 2007 voice. Once in a lifetime vocals are just that.
Rosé has so beautiful taste in music😍 so grateful to Rosé that I got listened this song
I cant help getting pumped up in my chair when John's soloing and jumping at 5:30
He is one of the best, most soulful guitarists alive today. The kind we’ll still be watching, listening to, enjoying, 50 years from now. Legacy being built right here. Right now.
This is one of the greatest live solo he ever did ! Flawless !
one of the best guitarist singer song writers of our generation.
Girls here crying because of John, boys here crying cause Johns guitar is also
This is one of my fave song now. Thanks to Rosé for introducing this masterpiece.
Wo wow I had not seen it was beautiful presentation, thanks to rosé from BLACKPINK it is that for those who did not know about the song we are fascinated, only great artists make musical art among them, Love the cove de rosé but also the original, both legends
That first solo is sooooooooo clean, elegant, controlled, delicate - just pure class.
I'd like to had seen Prince and John Mayer perform a duo, then have them play alternating solo's. Both being great performers not just behind a mic, but their ability to make their guitars gently weep.
3:10 tap was so smooth
Love what he's wearing, real guitarist with human depth, discovered him 15 years too late. Bougtt 3 albums to make up.
l agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and
talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul…
3:10 holy crap that was so clean
Jesus I was convinced for months that he’d forgotten how to play it normally. Always coming up with cool and creative stuff around this song
Not gonna lie the intro lookin like hes cracked out of his mind
a lot of those faces are unintentional, when you’re playing guitar and feeling the vibe your face just follows your hands and leads to some pretty hilarious faces
6:12 Glad to see Severus Snape found his place playing rhythm for John Mayer 😂😂
