The part we\u2019ll be focusing on is the main lick played in the intro. This lick combines double-stops, sliding, and hammer-ons, so be prepared to employ those techniques.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few tricks you can use to make this song a lot easier. Using vibrato on multiple strings can be a challenge, so it\u2019s worth experimenting with going upwards instead of downwards with your vibrato. With the sliding portions of the lick, you\u2019ll want to try to avoid swapping fingers to make it smoother.<\/p>\n<p>This song has a lot of nuance to it, so be sure to practice the little things to make it sound close to the recording. Be sure to break up your practice time into small, digestible chunks and you\u2019ll have this tune down in no time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Speed<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/guitareo.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/slow-dancing-67bpm.mp3\" controls=\"\"><\/audio><\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow Speed<\/strong><br \/>\n<audio style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/guitareo.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/slow-dancing-50bpm.mp3\" controls=\"\"><\/audio><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"resources\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/guitareo.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/slow-dancing-in-a-burning-room.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download PDF In this episode of Riffin\u2019 Through Time, we\u2019ll be taking a look at \u201cSlow Dancing In A Burning Room\u201d by John Mayer.
