This is so fluid and flawless,, I love the simplicity with which you played this. Awesome arrangement James (Y). I would love to watch you play "lean on" by MajorLazor.
I never get tired listen to you play you always inspire me to keep practicing and that's saying something. Thanks for put up this video I know you have very limited time but is there anyway you can upload the tabs for Far away on your website really want to learn that piece I have all your other tabs but I can't get that song out of my head and you know how that is being a musician yourself LOL
Great arrangement, very different from a few other styles with quite a laid back/jazz feel to it & and man all I have to say is good job it sounds beautiful!
My God James Bartholomew you are so good! Honeslty can you get any better than this, this here cover is by far the best I've seen, I love your work and style of playing.

Well I would say a while back I'd first work out the chords, but focusing on voice leading with respect to melody and work from there, but at this point honestly it just kinda blurs together and I kinda naturally do everything at once section by section. I tend to then go back through and refine things, like in this one I went back and changed the harmony in the choruses and things. I started arranging after working out guitar based songs by ear like old Newton Faulkner stuff, as all the tabs on the internet were wrong
Thats the main point of having fingerstyle guitar cover of it. Some people like to listen to it lyricless so they can have a good time in the bath whilst listening to it. Could u try it please mate ;)
Better late than never right? Really happy to be getting back to making videos! :)
the best arr. i've seen so far!!
James Bartholomew nice arrangement there!
James Bartholomew despacito den
nice guitar cover you made!!
yeah man
your style is so precise and calming, love it
Getting those jazzy vibes, similar to Sungha's version
I dig it
Thanks man :) I think I'm gonna slowly introduce more and more Jazz harmony where appropriate, because that's the kinda stuff I'm into and studying more now :)
One of the best covers of this song I have ever seen👍
Aaron Selva watch andrew foy shape of you
ONE of the best
Andrew plays it a little lower. And a little more in his own style. I really like this one for its closeness to the original
The most satisfying thing is U always play very smoothly ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😌😌😌😌🎶🎸🎸🎸
Wow! I really like "jazzy" sound in the chorus! It's very unique.
i like the changes you made especially in the chorus. gave the song a odd but cool direction :D can't wait to hear more songs
Thanks man :D I originally changed chords in some other parts, but I need to kind of find how much I can change before some people stop liking it :P
Whoa! Some of those harmonies are quite embellished! Wasn't expecting that! Love it, dude!

Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm in love with the shape of you

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty
So go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Yea why
0:55 Different bass line.. Turns out super great 😱
Just heard this at a salon yesterday while getting a pedicure. Your music is very soothing! Keep up the good work.
Your covers are my favorite thing to study to! So excited you dropped this one right before finals week! :)
+Gabby Griggs Thanks! I had a little gap between my exams to make this :) Good luck with your finals!
Most professionalist cover. You don't miss even milliseconds of the beat! Good job , keep up.
You made the harmony sounds much better!

Great cover! I really like the subtle jazz. A quick question: How do you start making an arrangement? Do you know lots of music theory?
As in how did I learn to arrange or what do I do first when I arrange a new song?
James Bartholomew Thanks for the quick reply!
How you arrange a new song. But the first question would also be quite interesting.
Well I would say a while back I'd first work out the chords, but focusing on voice leading with respect to melody and work from there, but at this point honestly it just kinda blurs together and I kinda naturally do everything at once section by section. I tend to then go back through and refine things, like in this one I went back and changed the harmony in the choruses and things. I started arranging after working out guitar based songs by ear like old Newton Faulkner stuff, as all the tabs on the internet were wrong
James Bartholomew Thanks for taking your time to answer my question!
Love it
This is great!
Me gustó..el cover..quiero aprender a tocarlo
Just perfect, man:)
that's good! bro.
just fantastic mate....beautiful....
pls do a cover of a classic nd timeless song fast car....
u'll rock it🙂🙂
Amazing 🙌🙌❤
You rock!
good job
love the harmonisation! :D
This guy has too much talent
Boy, you sure are talented
You keep surprising me xD Amazing arrangement men
Haha thanks man :)
CAN you do Fast Car pleaseeee
That's weird, I was thinking about that earlier o-o But its suuuuuper repetitive without lyrics so
Thats the main point of having fingerstyle guitar cover of it. Some people like to listen to it lyricless so they can have a good time in the bath whilst listening to it. Could u try it please mate ;)
Lewisohthatsme.v.2 whats so funny in saying main point?
I love how calm you strum that strings ❤ you're awesome~ *^O^*
