    People keep questioning the quality of the recording, using the argument that because of the lack of street noise, it must be recorded in a studio and dubbed on later. The truth is that James used a battery powered digital recorder, placed just in front of the speaker / amp to record his LIVE performance. You can only see the edge of it in this video, but if you look at the following TH-cam posting below, you can see it more clearly
    ( th-cam.com/video/iWz505cOrYQ/w-d-xo.html ).
    Wait for the little boy to appear in the middle of the video and you will see it on the floor in front of the speaker. James used this live street recording to sync with the video when he got home. It's positioning almost eliminates all the street noise, but you can still hear the little boy say goodbye just before he turns and runs away. The result is a fantastic quality recording. NOTE: James won young Guitarist of the year at the Royal Festival Hall in London at age 13, he is one of the best Guitarists in the UK.

I don't know where pure talent like you and Juliette come from but I thank God everyday and tell him to keep sending more down here. You will keep the best music ever created alive for sure and will def make some great stuff of your own. You made me cry today man with your playing (and that don't happen often). Subscribed!

I am pretty sure there is a crowd of people my age (53) that hadnt heard Rock Bottom in decades and stopped to join the faithful. Say, J.B.

Most of the legends! Your as good, or better than many of them! Don't ever undersell yourself. That you can play as phenominal as you can at your young age, just blows me away and I can only imagine what your going to be like even just a few years from now. You have mastered your craft and I look foreword to many years of your playing! I've already put everyone of the songs you played on youtube on my Ipod and listen to them daily. Do you have an album out yet? Its my dream to visit the UK sometime soon and I hope your playing a gig when I do go there as it will definitely be on my itinerary. Take care James, your friend and fan, James. :)
