Great tutorial, thanks. The only thing it is missing is a full playthrough at the start. I find this always really helps me.

Thanks for this wonderful and easy to follow tutorial

[@alaingomez5805]

Bonjour, je découvre le répertoire de M. James Taylor, et ce titre, Caroline... me donne l'envie de commencer à apprendre à le jouer. Tous les titres m'intéressent. Merci pour votre tuto, détaillé et fluide. Je vais me régaler. Juste la traduction en Francais m'aiderait à suivre vos explications.
Bon je bosse déjà celui-là, beaucoup de travail sur la planche.
A bientôt pour le prochaine
Cordialement
A. G.

Thanks for posting.

[@tba1879]

Thank you! Beautiful job--thank you very much!

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

Thanks, Hope you find it useful.

[@PardonMyManas]

This was really helpful! Thank you!

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

No problem.

[@kalvindixon8465]

Can you make a video how to play don't let me be lonely tonight by James Taylor thank you

[@Billsingsong]

Can you do the guitar riffs he does in his first original album version?

[@Billsingsong]

Be nice if you played it all the way through at first. Is this from his debut album or the re-record 1976 version? I like the guitar licks he does in his original version debut album, but I’d like his re-recorded 1976 slower version in general

[@matthewjohnson7180]

Thank you very much sir

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

No problem.

[@cjmiller5773]

i finally found someone who plays their d’s the same as me and who woulda thought it would be james taylor himself😂

[@viclennard]

Been playing A and D chords that way for 50 years since I learned Fire & Rain. For those who can't understand it, take an A minor chord and slide the first finger to get an A major. Do the same with a D minor to get a D major.

[@fabiandaroca]

Love this video! I started playing guitar after putting it down 44 years ago. My quest is to be able to play this song. LOL will be looking at your video's. Just subscribed....

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

Better than his lesson I thought.

[@johnatkinson3174]

JT is a genius but his tutorial was very hard to follow. A camera in the sound hole was not a good idea! This is much easier to follow.

[@TheClagga96]

Nice tutorial! Is there a tab for this on your website?

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

No, unfortunately, no tabs yet although I am thinking about it for the future.

[@Swamy456]

It's the future, please. It's hard to keep all the steps in my head. Great video though.

[@dunn1052]

the one important think missing is the (song/singing) lyrics with the playing.

[@JK-lk6mx]

Good tutorial but next time please start by playing the whole song so that we can get a feel of everything - Especially for intermediates. It was really annoying as an intermediate player to have to watch you slowly go through each note of the song when just looking at you play was enough for me to learn it.

[@brendanclyons5983]

What's the thing on top of the sound hole

[@Paulcampion-musiccouk]

It's an acoustic pick-up

[@redneckromeo4418]

theres an E minor in the chorus.

[@samuelyokoyama3110]

[@totisiturralde7836]

Why don’t you show how you’re plucking each strings?

[@donrice2609]

Way to slow for me
