I just appreciate JT to share his gift
Happy Birthday, James Taylor. Mahalo Plenty.
What a great and gracious thing to do for his fellow artists. It's quite a contrast between what Don Henley is doing by hiring teams of lawyers to scour YouTube for anyone who DARES post an Eagles song or cover, threatening to have people thrown off of YouTube if they break his 3 times and you're permanently banned edict. What a jerk. Thank you James for NOT being an A-hole like that.
The picking hand might be more difficult than the fingering hand.
Watch his fingering hand only the necessary amount of movement to make the chord changes.
Outstanding!
That sweetness at 3:31
This brings back memories of being in Charlotte for the DNC in 2012 and hearing this song ringing down Trade Street in the early morning. No one can match you unique style and tone. We found you doing a sound check for an outdoor concert. Pure magic.
I cant for the life of me get those A and D fingerings to work
Such a great tune!!!
I’m 68 years old. Played guitar for most of my life. Back in the early 70’s, I thought of James Taylor as a great song writer, but I didn’t appreciate until much later what an absolute monster he is as a fingerstyle guitarist. It is amazing to be able to learn directly from him. Thank you JT.
James,your playing is textured like a piano .Just simply amazing.Love the camera on the picking hand.
How amazing to be taught by James himself! Crazy! Crazy awesome!
from that angle it looks like a spider
oh great, now I have to learn to play D and A in a whole new "typical backwards" way… after 50 years! thanks a lot James… sheesh! lol
Yea, separating the thumb from other fingers is the trick!! James, you do it so well!!
Such generosity,
Gotta love the reverse D major and A major fingering!
Siempre amare esta canción, mi Madre se llamaba Carolina…..Recuerda James siempre serás el mejor, te agradezco infinitamente por toda tu musica



Saludos desde Lima Perú

I'm so happy to have found this. Thank you for sharing, sir. Thank you for the lifetime of music.
Im totally in Awe, Ive always loved this song, to see it played in detail is truly great! Thanks James
LEGGENDA ????????????
What a generous class!!

thanks Mr Taylor
Thank-you very much for all the great music, and the lessons! I reacted the same way, at the same time you did at the end. One of my favorites of all time!
James how and why did you ever come up with the fingerings that you use for the chords that you play. Were you consciously trying to mess with our heads. I’m just kidding, of course but man, you don’t make it easy. Beautiful but not easy. Love you
Thank you James, listening to the guitar chords is very relaxing. G'day from Downunder Australia ????????.
A custom guitar with a shorter scale length high E and B would be great for how you finger those D and A chords
Wow. Thank you so much the gift of this lesson! Your songs have been a significant part of the soundtrack of my life and an influence in my own humble musical and lyrical creations. Thank you so much, kind sir!
