    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.

      Wow Jay thank you so much for this amazing testimonial!! You really put thought into this and I’m so pleased you have been finding the course so helpful! Really do appreciate you spreading the word mate!
      I do have one request - this is such a a well thought out and glowing review that I’d love for others to see it. However, comments on TH-cam tend to get buried amongst all the jokes and newer comments so would you maybe consider just copying and pasting this to trustpilot so that others can be sure to see it? You’ve done the hard part of actually writing it - posting it on trustpilot only takes a few seconds (you don’t need an account or anything). Just go to trustpilot, search Jamie Harrison guitar, click write review, enter your name, and voila ☺️
      Thank you so much brother and I’m so Happy to have you! :)

    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.

And thank you so so much for taking the time to come on and write this review! :) I'm going to keep making these as long as people keep wanting them! @lambulis, I'm really sorry you can't afford the lessons right now, I wish I could give these away for free, but as anyone who has bought these will tell you - there is a LOT in these courses and they take a lot of time and expense to make so I couldn't afford to do it free... and I want to continue to make them. Hopefully you'll be able to pick them up soon! Maybe sacrifice one private lesson with someone in your area and get these instead haha! I promise there's more in them than any private lesson haha!

    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

    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.

    I found this video searching for a good "Slow Dancing" lesson. What struck me at first was the video, the accuracy, and the amazing sound that was coming from the guitar. I clicked into the lesson to find Jamie's website. Like most of you, at first I was totally hesitant to buy a lesson when there are PLENTY of lessons on how to play this song. But, I was still struggling to play the song the way I wanted with the free stuff. Once I got to the site, I was surprised to actually connect with Jamie live on his site (he has a "chat with me" link). I asked several questions which quickly helped me understand this lesson was totally LEGIT!!!. He wasn’t pushing the lesson on me, he wasn’t trying any sleazy marketing tactics, he wasn’t saying ‘this is for everyone’ just to get my money.
    Plus, I read the lesson description - the lesson comes with extra content like - rig suggestions for any budget, 14 up close videos, a full description of the rig he used to a record the material, a 15 page tutorial that provides legit commentary on the song, of course - tabs (both chords and note for note transcription) and plenty of extra material like how to record your sound on a computer. So I thought... why not??? Well friends.... this is as close you'll ever get to truly understand HOW JM plays this song. AND... to my surprise (mostly due to Jamie's ability to clearly show and communicate what he's doing), ITS LEARNABLE! I'm halfway through the first couple solos and while its no where near Jamie, it sounds and more important feels great! Fantastic work... I've already upgraded my purchase to the entire bundle. No clue when I'll get to the other stuff, but it's content you just can't find online for free. AWESOME STUFF!!!!!
