[bluemusic4us]

Nicely done ! ! !

[cyanidebrad]

Hey you're good. I also love hearing the children playing outside.

Thank you.

[Manuscript4]

Yes my son

[theDannyAllanBand]

This is in my top 10 youtube videos!!

[danihoraflor]

Muy buena versión, nada le envidias a Pat.

[DirtyRamires]

fantástico!!

[ringostarky1]

That's beautiful man, what a great job.

[julyvalls]

es realmente increíble, me a encantado. Es muy sentido lo que le has cambiado muy muy bueno , algún día espero poder llegar a tocar tu hermosa versión.

[elcristoatao]

Bestial, precioso.

He intentado sacar una versión (mucho más simplificada que la tuya) en Do Mayor y creía que me quedó bien, hasta que he oído esto y me has hundido en la miseria.

:-)

[Ruasfo]

Exellent. Bravo !!! I have to study it. I love guitar but i'm not a guitar player. I play doublebass. I'll study your version of this stupend tune. Thanks

[zero696]

Genial, simplemente genial. Es un temón y lo bordas.

[marcela6d2]

Me gustó mucho tu versión...¿podré conseguir la partitura del arreglo? Gracias Marcela

[harveydents]

great version of this song!! I used to play this in a fusion bad i was in for awhile....beatutiful tune... I met and hung out with PAT in 1992..good guy

[SatchManFan]

Very nice. Inspiring! 

[jazzoil]

¡Qué grande Camarasa, enorme lo tuyo!

[rishi214]

Bravo! I love your solo guitar version.

[fuerstyaqub]

great video... do you have the notes of this?

[selfhelp119]

すごいです！感動しました！

Great! i was moved!

[taglegar]

Esta creo que es la mejor adaptación de un tema a guitarra acustica que he escuchado en mi vida, no es coña.Y sin perder el espiritu de esta maravillosa composición. Felicidades!! Vaya soltura!!

Por cierto una pregunta.He visto otro video tuyo en el que apareces con una guitarra muy parecida a la de Metheny ¿es el mismo de Ibanez?

Salud

[camarasaurus]

@taglegar Uaaaauuu,tio muchas gracias,exageraciones como esta me llenan.Gracias. Efectivamente el modelo que tengo de la Ibanez Pat Metheny es la PM-20 , que es la mas parecida a la

que mas suele tocar y usar el. PEro evidentemente la suya esta mucho mas mejorada,por fuera y por dentro. Y de el saque la idea de cambiarle el cordal que trae original de metal por uno de ebano,hecho a medida,y ademas le añadi un golpeador(pickguard)tambien de ebano,por que a mi si me viene bien a veces.

[musicajaja]

This is a very good version of this title, played with feeling and nice middle chords interpretation. Congratulations,Louis

[Karabiner07]

muy bien tocado, de donde sacaste la partitura??? de Guitar Pro 6??? esta muy bueno el tema

[camarasaurus]

@Karabiner07

Gracias karabinero,PERO,el arreglo es "Mio",tanto del tema como en la improvisacion. Lo he sacado,aprendiendome el tema,y despues arreglandolo a mi manera. COmo todos los arreglos que he subido,todos son mios. ;-) :-)

[Karabiner07]

@camarasaurus ah ok, que copado... osea que ya tenes tus años de aprendizaje supongo.....

[brixpix]

Great! Simply great!!

[Georfrias]

Very nice! Me gusta mucho el arreglo tuyo !!! Estupendo!

[TheSBoy3]

haha! nice Beatles quote at 1:44 :P

[Vassagus78]

You are fucking good man.

[ZaphodBBB]

Hey mate YOU PLAY AN AWESOME VERSION OF A BRILLIANT SONG (mY FAVOURITE pAT mETH sONG.

[kgm333]

Exellent ! Amzing and beautiful ! Fantastic guitar playing !!

[JRBain7]

Beautifully done. I should give this one a go sometime, though it won't be this good, haha.

[camarasaurus]

Thanks a lot to all the people who look for my videos,and for the comments,i really aprecciate. Gracias a toda la gente que ha visto mis videos y por los comentarios,realmente los aprecio.

[camarasaurus]

Ahora le toca el turno a mi faceta de improvisador con pua , sobre este mismo tema.

Now is the turn of my improvisation side with plectro(pua ,pick) ,over this tune. Buscar en mi canal jamming on james. Search in my channel jamming on james

[mazatl3]

Felicidades!! excelente técnica y el arreglo magnífico guitarrista

un abrazo y un cordial saludo

de México 

[Mpoiuz]

Back for another listen. Outstanding work!!!

[jtapanes]

Vaya que sonido mas bonito...Que modelo de guitara es? Ya me he decidido pro una Ibanez PM-20 de jazz y aun para guitara Flamenca con cutaway no he encontrado la adecuada...tambien es que resido en Miami y se pasan un migollon con los precios.Gracias por esa interpretacion,un saludo.

[camarasaurus]

@jtapanes

Muchas gracias por el comentario. Esta guitarra es una Alhambra , modelo 7 FC ,El cuerpo es mas pequeño que uno convencional,pero esta guitarra me la compre para tocar en directo y tambien asi se acoplaba menos que un cuerpo convencional,y ademas es un poco mas comoda.

[sugarplacebo]

Dude thats brilliant!!! the best version for me, : ) listen to mines, hope you like it

[puzzledwls]

with your interpretation, there is to feel the "James Taylor" in this piece again, more than in any other version I heard - P.M.'s included ;-)

[wmanser]

Perfect

[flimuol]

espetacular, magnifico !

[TheJohntravels]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[bruwallbillich]

Oh yeah! That was fantastic!

[bruwallbillich]

Oh yeah! That was fantastic!

[gusporot]

Hermoso, simplemente hermoso, me molesta que se metan en lo que no les gusta o no entienden. de ahi mi respuesta al Batman devaluado , por cierto si es o no es James Taylor es lo de menos , bellos arreglos, perfecta ejecucion, dulce armonia, y completa el cuadro un fondo de niños jugando que tranqulizan el espiritu. un abrazo.

[camarasaurus]

@gusporot gracias por el comentario,y por corroborar lo que ya le habia dicho.

y el fondo de niños jugando es autentico,tengo un colegio al lado de donde grabo. ;-)

[sonerone6Y]

very inspiring, thanks

[ciccapausa]

bravissimo e con gusto,BRAVO!!!

[TRayner704]

I have been trying to master this fingerstyle...I have been working hard, and it is extremely difficult. But it is a fun song to play, and I will post a video soon to get feedback.

[chamacojesus]

Tu James es para mí como las espinacas para Popeye. Me pongo de adrenalina hasta las cejas.

[dreamsofhaegum]

I just love the playing and the background sounds - it reminds me of As Falls W............

[deathofjazz13]

What a very fine performance! Great arrangement and such a wonderful groove. You have created a thing of beauty. Thank you.

[mansursambatrio]

Valeu muito!!! Tá incrível o arranjo! Muito bem excutado...maravilha!!!

[camarasaurus]

Thanks a lot for your comment,and also when i have seen your channel,very good stuff in there,and it has been very useful see mo better blues video from the film, because i am showing this song to my students because is an incredible example about composition and also how to improvise over a good melody,one of the ways...

[madsrosendahl]

newbdrummer1 -> I've got the chords, but I'm looking for a written out arrangement showing the chord vocings etc.

[madsrosendahl]

Freaking awesome!!!

Are there any score for this arrangement? a PDF sheet or something?

Thanks...

[newbdrummer1]

I believe there's a transcription in one of the Real Books. I can give you the chord changes if you'd like.

[murilomorello]

really amazing!

[wolebok]

nice song man

[raysonkong]

this is beautiful!! thanks!

[crazyb3fan]

This is wonderful!

[sanotti]

That's beautiful rendition !

I love it !

Keep going please !

[JamaisMEC]

Une interpretacion belle, Mon. Camarasa, bien sur. OBA!

[robadobro]

Wow, this is really great! You are an awesome player!

[camarasaurus]

Thank you man,for your words. You are also great,and you got a very good,fine,and awesome way of playing in your channel,very,very interesting videos. I have to say to the people who dont know who is"robadobro",must take a look to his way of playing. Masterclasses.

[brucewayne909]

this is a variation of the theme from Taxi by BOB JAMES!!! this is a tribute to BOB JAMES NOT james taylor..I see there are lots of idiots on youtube who don't much about jazz music LOL

[camarasaurus]

excuse me,man. But ,In the Pat metheny book, "Pat Metheny " ,himself ,say in a comment of this song,that this is for james taylor.

[camarasaurus]

And the bob james' tune ( angela ),it is NOT a variation,it is a different tune.James,from Pat Metheny and lyle mays,is for james taylor NOT for Bob james. I think you are the one who dont know what are you talking about.

[brucewayne909]

thank you for proving my point that you are an effing idiot...pat metheny does have a sense of humour. there is absolutely no connection to james taylor with this song...YOU'RE ALL FUCKING RETARDED

[veeshead]

That is really interesting.I have never noticed that it does sound like Taxi. I have heard Pat say live that it was for James Taylor and that everyone in the band really liked him and his music. Don't be so quick to call other people idiots.Especially since you may be (and are ) wrong.

[gusporot]

@brucewayne909 hey Batman , Pat said: this was originally written for the quartet that toured for much of the year 80 in support of the 80/81 record (Redman, Haden, Motian and Pat) ......... with Lyle writing the nice introduction. "James" is for James Taylor , one of my favorite guitar players. (Page 440 Pat Metheny Song Book) ... run away to gotham city and dont came back again.

[ytsfn]

Complimenti, è veramente bella. Nessuna cover è bella quanto questa ed è graziosa forse anche più dell'originale.

Hai pubblicato anche intavolatura ?

[danajp]

Deliciosa interpretación y arreglo personalísimo. Tú y yo fuimos compañeros en el colegio Lope de Vega. Me ha encantado volver a verte, tienes talento. Yo canto...

[PabloAndresGiordano]

Excelente, me encantó.

[sevensharpeleven]

Congratulations! One of the best solo guitar interpretations of James I've seen! Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[s05110057]

good job, nice chord melody!

[kolnidre666]

The James Taylor feeling comes out very nicely on the acoustic guitar. Beautiful.

[hyperboreal]

Precioso tema, no lo conocía hasta ahora. Se fusiona muy bien con el sonido de ambiente también. Cinco estrellazas.

[camarasaurus]

La verdad es que lo del ruido de fondo,no fue premeditado,la ventana de mi cuarto donde toco,da a un sitio donde hay arboles,un patio de un colegio,y un parking trasero por asi decirlo,y aveces ademas de sonido de fondo de niños jugando,hay mogollon de pajaros,segun la epoca,claro.

[chamacojesus]

Carlos, si no conoces a Alex (hyperboreal) no dejes de ver su material. Muy original y de muy buen gusto.

[camarasaurus]

efectiv amente no le conocia,y ya desde ayer,estoy viendo videos y trabajos realmente grandiosos, en su canal.

Altamente recomendable.

[chamacojesus]

Absolutamente magistral. El médico me ha dicho que me lo vea regularmente si no quiero caer de lleno en la mediocridad.

[camarasaurus]

:-)

[jotaerreito]

italiano: bravissimo!

english: superb!

español: de puta madre!

[camarasaurus]

italiano: grazie mille

english: thank yuo so much

español: muchas gracias

Catalan: moltes gràcies

;-)

[thor156]

A very good job. I love your feeling with this number. Your intepretation is very good! You have made the song yours with this intepretation

[bobbysbackingtracks]

love your  playing dude....enough said

[maciondo]

very nice :)

[fillmor1]

Nice...great homage to the beginning Metheny's solo

[dyson85]

Man I loved that. Beautifully played, I'm sure Metheny himself would enjoy it. What a great song.

[anon2k]

That's totally totally superb. You're amazing!

[djcaptainjrb]

This is by far the best cover i've ever heard of James. Your playing is an inspiration and I frequent this video very often. Keep up the great playing!

[adamsjazzclub]

buenos dias de francia

Tres chouette ! = muy bonito

[doggers1]

bravo

[mibifinalist]

great arrangement, but why don't you play it through the whole way through without edits!

lovely playing though.

[camarasaurus]

This time,i wanted to use,to check,the editing "thing" with video,and also,it is faster to upload a demo(with a couple of edits),sometimes. And also,sometimes,it is funniest for me. Thanks for comment.

[soofo]

Great job.

[MARCK0007]

Muy fregon felicidades

[m3941]

EXCELLENT. I'm sure you could sell your arrangements, even to us who couldn't get the whole thing under our fingers! drmike

[playtoohard]

bravo

[captainrabbit22]

Excellent rendition. Better than the original.

[Guitrax]

Copiar un tema es facil pero hacer un buen arreglo es dificil.

Tu lo has conseguido, felicidades!!!

[Ethanjones]

1:40 film splice.

good job though, I just happened to catch it. Very good right hand technique, bro.

[camarasaurus]

1:46.and there is other after this.Sometimes is easiest, funniest and fastest do some edits.

[Webmensje]

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to edit and share the result with us. You've made me very happy!

[dardemann123]

absolutely brilliant, thanks a lot!

Karen

[Rudreax]

What are the chord changes for this piece, if you don't mind me asking?

[simbafx]

really nice arrangement, thanks for sharing

[towelboy12]

great arrangement! is that a normal nylon string neck? it seems a little more narrow. maybe it's just the camera..

[klima1966]

excellently !

[mfrieauff]

Excellent, simply excellent! What a great arrangement. Please be so kind to note it down. I'd immediately pay something for it in order to practice that. Let us know, will you?

Markus

[demifan30]

Thank you for the beautiful playing and for sharing this with us. You've inspired me to learn this arrangement.

No job quoting parts of the solo also

[JazzScene]

Fantàstic, Carlos, preciós. Quin gust a l'hora de tocar! Gràcies, company!

[camarasaurus]

De res.EL gust tambe son els vostres cumentaris.Gracies per escriure,i per veurem.

[arkaia]

beautiful!! I would like to play it too.. great arrangement!! :)

[zdeb3]

excellent....please write this out to share with everyone! I would definitely buy it

[camarasaurus]

Good proposition,thats the way,but i have to see,the proper way to do it,....

:-|

[Lennypombouthescb]

soooo nice.  Loved it.

[ariot42]

Sweet groove, and an original arrangement. Well done!

[chamacojesus]

No me canso, Carlos, no me canso de verte.

[tenberge52]

You play nice and neat. I love your style of playing. Thanks for sharing.

Bertrand,

Den Haag, The Netherlands.

[dawtwolde]

Hello, have you got sheet music about your version of "James". may i have it ?

Thanks

Dawt

[camarasaurus]

Sorry,not yet.

[DanieleBazzani]

Beautiful arrangement, great choice, wonderful tune, one of the best themes and solos in guitar history!

[papinchulin]

EXCELENTE VERSION.

[catman1008]

A wonderful adaptation for classical guitar of this great Metheny song. Especially loved your flowing improvisations. Love the sound of jazz on nylon strings, and you are a master.

[racsouza]

Well done, guy!

Beautiful chords. With a little help from our Master Pat Metheny!

Go ahead

[slow90t]

ah sooo nice better than the original!!!

i dig the ambient background

[PHILATNANTES]

Super , exelent work great solo

[onkel44lekno]

Amazing, really really good. I wish I could play like that. Can't get much better.

[acousticangelo]

Very, very nice !

So long and all the best to you.

Angelo

[cesitaramor]

muy buen arreglo, buen solo y muy bien interprretado.

[thezeppelin62]

Well played.

[phil51773]

How do i get the music for this please camarasaurus!!???

[mtalaba]

Nice work--especially your original variations. I think your tempo is closer to the way Pat Metheny played it 'way back when', although the version posted on YouTube is much faster. I like it better this way. :-)

[camarasaurus]

Thank you,very much.And yes,i play this version closer to the tempo of the original recording in the album offramp,this is the first song i listened from metheny.

[wvalad]

Muy buena interpretacion.Felicitaciones.­

[7645615]

Love it - especially the Beatles!

[Jipeo]

very very very good !!!

[uncut125f]

nice time keeping!

[andrecuspi]

That's really awesome

[rockonjosh]

wow man that was awsome. ur so smooth! mad flow. beautiful sounding instrument aswell.

[LukeDallert]

Very nice improvisation! I wish I could play like this!

[launchedboy]

nice voicing

is it regular tuning?

i wanna watch from bridge side

[camarasaurus]

Yes ,it is in regular tuning,EADGBE,and i play in the key they usually play this song.

[Gunglove]

Very good :)

[robertoang9000]

Increible, me ha encantado.

Un abrazo desde México.

[grindcoreserbia]

oh man, you're so good. did a little improvisation on your own and everything. very very nice!

[stevejols]

I searched "worst band ever" and watched like 10 videos. And then this comes across... thankyou for playing guitar so well;) always great to hear someone playing metheny and playing it well

[gurkanozkaya]

i can't say anything . just great

[Milamaker]

Hombre! si eres español!

Cómo no vas a saber tocar la guitarra!

Felicitaciones de nuevo.

[Milamaker]

Impecable tu trabajo!

Felicitaciones desde Argentina!

Hermoso tema.

[Vitimk12]

Un arreglo muy bueno y una tecnica excelente.

Mucho nivel, si señor.El tema es una preciosidad como casi todo lo que hace Metheny.

[schotzie99]

Fantastic perfomance. I think the background sounds of the children playing make this even more appealing. Every one of your beatles and metheny works is perfection. Keep making music.

[neuronox]

beautiful version! i've searching for this song -original version- in many places, but yours really made me remember it. i didn't listen to it for about 20 years, but my soul needed it today, couldn't wait more to listen it. thanks for help me while i find the pat's version (i even didn't knew the song's name, i was a kid since) do you make any howe version? i think you easily could. regards.

[camarasaurus]

Thank you for your comment,im very happy,what my version of this amazing song has done for you.This song was the first i listened from Pat Metheny Group,in offramp,long time ago.

Excuse me my english,whats the meaning of "howe"??

;-)

[camarasaurus]

Creo que te refieres alomejor a steve howe ,¿no?,pues no le conocia,o no lo relacionaba,pero ahora si que me suena,pero creo incluso que hay otro guitarrista que tambien se llama Greg Howe,¿no?

pues no,por ahora,no tengo ninguna.Pero acabo de oir un ragtime,muy chulo,del steve.

[neuronox]

Steve Howe. Ahí te mandé un mensaje. Saludos.

[wojto11]

yes..very nice!keep playin' Pat;)

[cervcat]

every note from the original, well done

[FenderBender93]

Sweet !

[HopePoisoned]

great playing - sounds really nice, great song

[xaxaupua]

Camarasa! impresionant noi. Un dels millors temes de PMG per mi, i tu l'has brodat.

Ets de Camarasa? Pots ferme arribar la tablature?

[aurelienpk]

hello!

Do you have the score to this ??

Well done!!!

[mehdi7759]

your version is amazing, i can hear james and your own touch and i love it

take care

[vetlefjorden]

[snowboardvw]
