You're a fantastic player. And that guitar isn't bad either — I know 'cause I own and play an identical DY45 (1985), which I bought in a pawn shop for $125. A hugely under-rated instrument.
I've started learning this song, and I have got up to about.. 0:30 down pat (only quite slower). I really enjoyed watching your cover, it was very well done.
sweet man. i found it hard to take you seriously at first with the setting etc, but the playing speaks for itself. im trying to smash this song out at the moment, but all i have with me is my nylon. makes its sound mega gypsy haha.
just feel like i would have liked it more if you were just chillin in normal clothes. you know, lost the backdrop, and were just jamming in your living room or somthing. the backdrop and the outfit are to much for me .. playing was good though.
I became ur fan, for u ended playing ur own stuff and that was very beautifully done.... I guess everything after 1:43 is ur stuff... right ?? Loved ur playing too....
Awesome playing, excellent rhythm. Sounds just like the master himself. This video, along with your others ones, have inspired me to focus a lot more on my guitar playing. How many hours a day do you practice?
Damn, I'm going to have to invest the next decade of my life learning this one. Loved the song for the last ten years or so, but never dared attempt to play it myself!
James, You are a blessed artist...stay straight and true to your craft and we will be reading about you someday. BTW your acoustic stuff is awesome, electric is off the hook, just saying...people love unplugged...its where the talent is raw and obvious.
So I just bought my very first guitar this past week, and I've been shopping around for instructors. I've been flat out turned down by 7 different people because it's a left handed guitar. Awesome.
James!!!! I didn't get this in my sub box for some reason. But I would like to say this is the first video I have ever seen with you palyin' an acoustic :) Very smooth brother, very smooth......... (allow the playah through the damn door!!!!! There is business at hand) :)
This is superb, James! As Victor said: "You play from the inside out". Fav'ed and featured video this week on my channel. All the stars for you. Regards, Jeff
Very good James, I'm impressed,although I don't like that word,we're not actually making Music to impress. We owe our best that's given to us to our ART. That's what you're doing here, giving your very best,my friend. You're a guy who's soaked in talent, you play as we say in Zen: "from the inside-out". That's the way of the true musician, never dwell from this path my friend you're right on it, Saludos Vic( thanks for your friendship and your ears).
Frank - yea, I'd say it's 98.6 % complete. Absolutely need the heavy reverb for sure. Sounds like babies being created in a pristine environment out of crystals.
Dieter - well your opinion certainly means a lot to me, and I'm quite honored. I hope all is well and health has improved. I wish great things for you and your family!!
Mr. Wetzel. Awesome stuff dude...I was getting worried that you decided not to do the internet thing since its been a while since your last upload! im glad you uploaded! keep up the awesome work...inspirational dude! Im working on some projects because of you! cheers...all the best...Tylor
