Colin, Three years on from the time you made this recording, I wanted to thank you. First for the fantastic lesson of one of the most beautiful guitar pieces I’ve heard. To be able to share it as I’m doing makes me incredibly satisfied. Second, thank you for your introduction. Health care providers the world over would applaud if they heard your unselfish and graceful thoughts.
This has been my favorite song for 35 years. I've played it well until now. You're teaching me incredible nuances I hadn't understood before. And btw, your voice here sounds a bit of Sting singing JT. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks Colin. I'm about a week away from getting this one down smoothly. I've played through it incorrectly for years, and your tutorial has unlocked some of the wonderful little transitions between chords I've been missing.
Thanks Colin. Great Job . Nice voice nice guitar work . Cant go wrong with James Taylor been a fan my whole life. I just started learning alot of his songs. No one plays like Him. He has such a relaxing voice.
Thanks, Colin. By breaking the song down into sections and slowly going over the picking, I've been able to get a clear understanding of this beautiful James Taylor song.
I hope people understand that this is clearly a professional performance. Sometimes even James Taylor can’t execute all the licks this well while singing. Thanks so much for sharing this. Good song to practice with a metronome.
Definitely. Of the few videos I have seen on youtube, Taylor just strums while singing, and only does finger picking embellishments between vocal lines. This dude definitely fancied it up a notch or two
Hey man, great video! I’ve had a lot of extra time on my hands so I’ve been trying to pick up some new songs on the guitar. Great explanations, keep it up!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial :)
This is just beautiful. By any chance has anyone created a tab of it at this point? I know the question was asked of Colin earlier, but maybe since then? There are some parts I just can't tell about. Beautiful job
Hi Colin. I just found this...thank you. I have been playing many of the little nuances wrong. I will be practicing harder. I love your playing and singing. Thanks again mate from Aus.
To be fair, JT does vary the nuances across different performances (I guess when you've played a song 100's of times, it's bound to happen) and my 'interpretation' was from one typical performance of his. I'm sure he won't mind if you introduce some of your own tweaks ;-)
You play and sing incredibly well, I must say. I am, most likely, a slow learner but what I miss is a more detailed tutorial on the right hand - string by string.
Hang in there Victoria ,Ive been down that road, and I know it feels like forever but it ends.... blessedly and finally ends.I only had the worst of it half as long as you but it felt an eternity, Hang on.
Well done! Playing AND vocals sound great! Almost got it except for the little “instrumentally parts at the end” ; couldn’t quite get what you were saying..Could you clarify the chords/ tabs for these? Thanks!
I like this, and I'm sort of in the John Renborn tradition on steel strings... so I don't like everybody as I'm trained both classically and in jazz scales and chords. It was the finger picking of these fellows and perhaps Chad & Jeremy, Peter & Gordon, Donovan Leitch, the Beatles, etc. that got me going in the first place, and for me it's going " back to my roots " as the expression goes, to work on this type of playing.... not nearly as hard as Segovia, John Williams, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, etc. It comes to fruition sooner, shall we say, and is a nice way to use the guitar as vocal accompaniement without getting drowned in b9's, b5's and diminished and altered chords. Chet Atkins used to say, after hearing jazz players, " Yeah, but can your grandmother sing it when the song is over ? " He had a point... So, carry on, it seems good, and hopefully it is rewarding enough for you as well.
This is a wonderfully helpful video, but during the intro, sometimes chords are arpeggiated, and sometimes they are not, and that is a bit confusing. But still, thank you for this tutorial!
In a few video's (and tablature) I've seen the capo is on the 1st fret. I don't know if it would change any of the chords you illustrate ( and so eloquently play) but wanted to ask. Thanks for the very helpful video of this very distinct JT song.
You should be able to move the capo to any fret with no changes in the fingering. It would just bring the key of the song being play down a half step. Mostly it’s done for the singers sake usually

Thanks for this accurate tutorial, well done. I will note for clarification that the low E string is referred to as the 6th string and the B string is 2 and so on. Your references are opposite of convention.
Hi Colin. I just found this...thank you. I have been playing many of the little nuances wrong. I will be practicing harder. I love your playing and singing. Thanks again mate from Aus.
Hi. It's a Taylor 814CE. The recording was a blend of the DI output from its stock pickup (Expression 2) and a condenser mic (Rode NT1A) about 2ft away 👌
Hi Colin I’m trying to learn this song and I was wondering if there is a picking pattern that runs throughout the song as it would be easier to learn if I already had some kind of basis for the right hand
@@basilebannister710 JT's style is very clever. He picks out different little riffs and runs with his rt fingers while his rt thumb does something different. Tricky, but that's why so many guitarists admire his work :-)
He is showing parts of the Verse and then plays it different in the summary The g f# e Part right before the a is missing in the Verse summary Maybe somebody can help Because i am all Messed up by that
Paul - can you give me an exact video timing (hh:mm, start and end) of where I'm correctly playing the part you're referring to, so I can see what I've missed/got wrong in the verse summary :-( Then I'll post something up to explain. Cheers CD
6:50 u Show the First beginning of the Verse with that chord Progression from g to f sharp over d and then to a And at 13 minutes u leave the f sharp out and just play the d but i got it down now Repeatet the Video like 30 times since yesterday And now I just have to practice on the pieces Apart from that one thing i was struggling with it is a outstanding lesson U will get my sub Have a good one
@@tubefredas Ah... glad you got it sorted. Once you've got this song flowing and embedded in your muscle memory, you'll enjoy playing it for years - I still do :-)

Thanks Gary. Wow... 3 years ago - doesn't seem that long ago in my head... 👍
Almost better than the original. I’m touched by your playing and voice. Please do the world a favor and keep putting yourself out there!
I don't know why I decided to search for this tutorial- I'm a death metal guitarist- but I'm glad I did. This is fun to play and I learned a lot
Giving you a like just for the beautiful playing and singing at the beginning
I am very critical of online lessons. this is exactly my speed. not too slow. not too fast. accurate. clear.
Thank you! This is really helping with the fingering of this lovely song!
OMG!! Perfect!!! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this clear instruction! I’ve almost got it down, and it will make my wife’s day on Mother’s Day 2020!
Great job Colin guitar and vocals

This is great emotional song, and you do a great job explaining and playing it. Thanks
Beautiful, well done, it's mesmerizing
Beautiful song played beautifully thanks.
Great tutorial, deeply moved and inspired,thank you thank you !

Nice.

Thank you, thank you. My funeral song - shitty ill with COVID-19 for 3 months now xxx
Are you feeling any better, I hope so!
Hang in there Victoria ,Ive been down that road, and I know it feels like forever but it ends.... blessedly and finally ends.I only had the worst of it half as long as you but it felt an eternity, Hang on.
Betsy Gekak and gloryrow. Thanks so much for your kindness. Long COVID, but now getting on with life. Love to you
Wow! Very good. I can get the chords ok, but it will be some time before I get the hammer on, and pull offs down. Thanks
Well done! Playing AND vocals sound great! Almost got it except for the little “instrumentally parts at the end” ; couldn’t quite get what you were saying..Could you clarify the chords/ tabs for these? Thanks!

Hi. It's a Taylor 814CE with the stock pickup

Hello, you have this tutorial in tab? I helped so much 🙏
Sorry, I don't have tab for this 😔
Thanks for this accurate tutorial, well done. I will note for clarification that the low E string is referred to as the 6th string and the B string is 2 and so on. Your references are opposite of convention.
Thank you Andrew. I realised afterwards that I had reversed the string naming convention 😕
Colin , you’ve got a nice sounding guitar, what model is it?
Hi. It's a Taylor 814CE
Colin Davies Singer Oh thank you!
Hi Colin. I just found this...thank you. I have been playing many of the little nuances wrong. I will be practicing harder. I love your playing and singing. Thanks again mate from Aus.
Curious what type of guitar you're playing? It is so beautifully chimey it almost sounds like a 12 string.

Hi Colin I’m trying to learn this song and I was wondering if there is a picking pattern that runs throughout the song as it would be easier to learn if I already had some kind of basis for the right hand
Hi. I don't think there is a predominant rt hand picking pattern 🙄
@@ColinDaviesSinger ok thanks for the reply anyway. Also you play it really well.

6:50 u Show the First beginning of the Verse with that chord Progression from g to f sharp over d and then to a
And at 13 minutes u leave the f sharp out and just play the d but i got it down now
Repeatet the Video like 30 times since yesterday
And now I just have to practice on the pieces
Apart from that one thing i was struggling with it is a outstanding lesson
U will get my sub
Have a good one
@@tubefredas Ah... glad you got it sorted. Once you've got this song flowing and embedded in your muscle memory, you'll enjoy playing it for years - I still do :-)
nice 814CE
my favourite guitar :)
Where’d you get those nails are they fake?
Yep... They're acrylic gel nails. I get them done at a local nail bar once a month. They've revolutionised my playing 👍
@@ColinDaviesSinger Thank you we’ll have to try them because it’s hard getting used to try to use finger picks!
do u really think saying home saves lives.
Yep, I do. 👍 Hopefully this summer will get us back to near normal and maybe out gigging again 👍
@@ColinDaviesSinger you sing nice. and great arrangement bravo. try my piece. little red
Not a race..slow down
Lol. He plays it at a lovely patient pace.
