I’m not a musician but I adore music and I’m a fan. This is one of my favorite songs. What a generous way share in these times. Thank you! Great and fascinating video. Looking forward to more,
Definitely my favourite artist, too underrated as well! You kept me playing my guitar when my world fell apart and I lost everything ,kept me sane lol👍
Just heard the beginning of this song on Instagram and I wanted to play it. I didn't know him and now I'm in love, the amount of talent that he has omg🥰 this is the first time listening to the whole song and the fact that is live damn made everything more perfect
I'm glad I found this three years late! Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to play this three years ago so I guess I found it just in time! Thanks for doing this, James. Very generous of you to share your talent this way.
man, you are just UNBELIEVABLE. an artist for real. i don't know how to play anything at all (yet) but i watched every second cuz you deserve so much love for being such an amazing human. all my respect for you, mr. Bay, and please, keep teaching those lessons, the world needs it.
Hey james from australia.what a musician u are.hold back the river is my fave mate.been listening to you for a while now..you are def my favourite singer of the modern era mate.your accoustc versions are second to none.im 49 years of age.im a truck driver.times are tough but your tunes put a smile on my face
Love YOU James, you've no idea how you and your music have touched the collective, you give so much love to this planet, and here you are giving again. I am so proud of you, and for you, you are the change helping the paradigm shift by example, you bad ax love warrior you! Helping to heal this planet with love, one song/guitar lesson at a time. love and all manner of good fortune, lori
Its crazy,,he starts of like your mate around tbe corner who,s a great guitar player then the voice comes in and you remember your listening to one of tbe biggest artists in the world singing massive hits while teaching ! Gotta love JB ❤
So thankful you took the time to teach this song in so much detail. To make it worth your time, I’m not going to stop practicing until I play it as good as you.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving back home, with my kids. I didn´t know James at the time, but then I´ve made a research and found this song (among others), and heard all night long! Good memories! Good to have James to sing and play and now teach us how to play, altough I probably won´t, but, anyway...
You're so down to earth that you feel like all our best friends, even though you don't know us. THANK YOU. 🧡🙋🏼♀️💯😷 Lockdown is better for these streams. Gosh I'm crying now I'm so happy to hear this again.
The Space Between Us (one of my favourite movies) made me fall in love with this song which, ironically, made me fall in love with the movie. It gave it its magic and the intro riff immediately takes me to the open fields and their roadtrip.
I don't even know how to pickup a guitar, but you passion for music is so irresistible, that makes me feel so comfy about the learn how, to play one. Thanks, for the master class. I'll be waiting for the next one.❤
This might be just me, but i'm loving all these acoustic covers because my favourite hobby before all of this was jamming out with my music class when one person would play and we'd all join in separately, playing and singing along to each other in harmony. Honestly it was just the most wholesome thing ever. Due to covid-19 i don't know if i'll ever be going back again as i'm in my last year but all these acoustic sessions are bringing me so much comfort at the moment. Almost like sitting in the small music room where so many joyful memories are made.
So awesome that James gives a tutorial on his own song! This is absolutely one of my all time favourite songs... Thank you James for inspiring others to do music.
havent seen any live session during quarantine with so much pitch perfect singing. cheers to you james! Pleasure to hear your voice and your art trespassing the screen
Not learning...but it's like a private concert and very nice to hear You talking about music with passion. Still remember when You borrowed guitar to support artist last year in Poland😊
I listened to this songs for months and months every morning on my way to work. Felt a bit special morning. Just bought my first guitar ever. Hopefully I'll be able to play this, even if only the riff would be great.
Hello brother James, it's so nice and amazing to enjoy this lesson with you and the people who love playing guitar and the songs you create. Thanks for that. Hello from Valencia-Spain. 😉🤙🏽☕
Hi James! ♡ This is definitely my favorite song and I truly appreciate the sincerely way you share your love to us through your talent, your music is pure magic. Yo estudié Inglés pero no tengo idea de lo que dije, como sea, hold back the river es una joya y estoy totalmente agradecida de que hayas compartido al mundo cómo tocar tremenda canción
James I saw you in Denver. I live in Florida and the closest you were coming was Atlanta Georgia. I wanted to see you so bad so I looked on your website and saw you were going to Denver.. I felt like it was fate. my best friend lives in Denver and you were visiting the week of both of our spring breaks. your show was the best night of my life. you're my favorite artist and I got to see you with my best friend. thanks your being you and for playing into my fate

James is so underrated, let’s give him the love he deserves
Underrated? Speak by yourself. Some people just don't get it and think these crazy thoughts...
@@0212080041 do you mean he's bad or not underrated?
My heart start racing again 🎸💜😀
I feel like this is what people say when THEY hear someone for the first time. We have been here....
He does what he loves to, that's the point.
Imagine being this talented at.... anything. Insane.
John H and super handsome as well
I'd love to hear and see "scars" done!
Ceejay Vincent YESSS
That one is easier, actually
YESSSS SO GLAD SOMEONE AGREES

And there is this guy, his name is James Bay who just illuminates your day :)
Society: No one sounds good live

The most handsome teacher ever!!! ♥️
He’s so freaking humble and such a great teacher 🤩
"I'm so professional. This phone is sat on a suitcase, leaning against a shoe I like to keep it homegrown." Best thing I've heard this week.
