Pantatonic rock is boring.

[mrnutural]

For "made up" chords this is pretty close to James Taylor's special guitar picking...you are good at "making up" !!! I enjoy all of your postings here, play guitar myself and even seem to like the same kind of acoustic musik...please don't stop picking !

[sosauto]

@mrnutural Guilty as charged - hehe

[miomaderas]

This is one of my favorite songs. You play it beautifully!

[tdcollector]

[NotDaRealJamesTaylor]

You are a legend.

complete respect, you have boosted my love for James Taylor even more.

Keep up the good stuff. =].

[musicapacity]

There is something I've noticed in all of your videos: you do something special when you play. You aren't just playing the notes, you add something, something like love, it's like you're putting your signature on the strings. I like it.

[sosauto]

What a lovely thought.

-john

[OstentatiousTyler]

I wish people around where I live would learn how music truely moves your soul. It's sad to see basically Nobody around my area knows how to even play any instrument at all, while my being a "Legend" for knowind advanced guitar, musical theory, piano, and the violin.

-john

[Leohart1919]

VERY VERRY GOOD

[Cflalcon]

Very good picking.  Why aren't you doing whole songs?

[upabittoolate]

i was going to ask the same question but then i thought about if. sos auto may make him a mechanic. besides he's 64yrs old. there's a chance he may some arthritis problems y'know hom many knucklebusters you can have on one repair, let alone that being your daily operation over the course of 30yrs. just a theory. but im like you would like to hear some more from him myself

[ericfrancis22]

Bless your heart, you are damned inspiring... I hope I can play and sing like that when I am your age... I am pushing 50 right now and recently began playing fingerstyle guitar (been flat-picking for 40 years!). Seeing you do it successfully makes me want to try even harder. Thanks for an inspiring vid! :-)

In my mind Im goin to carolina

Cant you see the sunshine

Cant you just feel the moonshine

Maybe just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes Im goin to carolina in my mind

[sosauto]

Yes, I did use 'on' instead of 'in' to maybe avoid any possible copyright infringement problems with me or YouTube. I'm not sure that would have been a problem but it's always better to err on the side of caution.

-john

[robinpeople]

really well played, you play just like chet atkins. amazing

[sosauto]

He was one of my heros...

-john

[pasher169]

I very much enjoyed your version of this song. As I happens I produced the original recording so I just wanted you to know. As I am sure you realize, the correct title is Carolina in my Mind, not "on".

[pasher169]

I very much enjoyed your version of this song. As it happens, I produced the original recording.

As I am sure the realize, the correct title is Carolina in My Mind rather than "on"

[sunbury7]

Would you please consider vidotaping some lessons to show others just how you do your fingerpicking style? It would be greatly appreciated!

[inuqueen13]

James Taylor was brilliant.. you did his song great justice. And if i may say, played it even better.. Every time i watched this video it sounds even more beautiful. Thank you for posting.

[Bencat6980]

Awesome job.

[sagarprince]

[ThatsHot92]

[michaelinsanantone]

great job john, I have a D28 and a Taylor, and you are getting alot of tone out of that little martin, How did you record it? I would love to hear that little Martin in person, thanks for great posts, try deep river blues, would sound great on that guitar!

[krumber]

Great Job! I'm learning to play and hope to be as good as you! Keep it up!
