Thank you for bringing ALLL of this music back into my life. I have not heard alot of this since i was a kid. I was born in 1963 . in 1967 i picked up a tennis racket when can't get no satisification came on the radio the 1st time here in America . been a lover of those guys ever since and all that followed like the doobie bro. The alman bro.etc it's all good my friend!!
I got to say how deeply I appreciate your hard work and diligence in bringing so much to the musical community. You have helped me play guitar better with your excellent lessons. Thanks again from Jammin Thom
I respect your view point..have fun man..you're great at what you do Jimi James.. You have an incredible ear , a gift. I enjoy playing along with you learning, jamming and just having fun. cheers
Your the Greatest as a man teacher,you've helped to not only improve my player as well as your rythm and reason to playing an instrument you've helped give me lots of enjoyment,Rock On
I'd like to request that you keep having fun showing us the way on these great songs. You seem to have the same love for the instrument and for the music that I do and that my friend is why I tune in. Nothing better than playing a great song on a great sounding instrument. Thanks for all the fun years
Dude! I LOVE your videos! You play the stuff straight forward and with no BS. I USE your videos every week to pick up new tunes I need to learn(I am a pro player, I play out 4-5 nights a week) and your stuff is guaranteed to teach me the meat & potatos of every song every time. I know the dicks on TH-cam are a pain in the ass but please keep going. I rely on your 'to the point' tutorials! I am literally watching this right now so I can go play this song live in about half an hour! LOl. Because of YOU....I'll be able to pull it off! Thank you!
Play what you want man, the most amazing guitarist and teacher and grateful for anything you post... I'm rubbish on the guitar but still learning so much from your posts.. Like your style, it's a big hi y'all from me.
First time listening to you... THANKS! I'm a 70+ yr old Allmans fan. Love to play for my enjoyment and your tutorial was a welcome addition to my "how to's". Play what gives you pleasure! Thanks again.
My big thing is rhythm guitar i can sit and play all day long into the night like you are playing Jessica and blue sky etc i love rhythm and it is all I can play!!
Always fun, always entertaining, great selection! Picked up more than a few tunes from you. If you're not having fun, neither will we. It's always clear you just love playing. Thanks for your time, much appreciated!
I disagree with your comment that "there are better guitar players and teachers out there". In my opinion YOU are the best thing going for any guitar player. I think you are awesome and I'm grateful for all your work, which has helped me tremendously. Can't thank you enough.
This is exactly what I was searching TH-cam for. This acoustic guitar gets blended in the mix so well that is very difficult to hear what they're doing this explains a lot. My father was a professional studio drummer and I can remember the discovery of acoustic guitar it was Glen Campbell and I remember asking the question so all you can hear is just a strumming part are the clicking part you can't really hear the the tones thus learning that the acoustic guitar is it is a rhythm instrument
I don't want to watch or learnfro.people who do not get it right on spot like you. I like to do it the way the original artist does AND YOUARE NOTONLY#1 YOU ARE TH E BEST!!!! TO MEYOUAREI THINK OF YOU AS MY LITTLE BROTHER!! I AM58WILLBE 69JUNE 3RD BORN IN 1963. I LOVE THE SAME STUFF YOU do too!!KEEP ROCKING.LY
Please, PLAY WHAT YOU WANT!!! ;0) It's always great! And don't let 'em get you down. for every uncouth word, there are a 100 people learning and groving on what you share. BRAVO!
This is great. In my head, this is much more complicated, it's nice to see this with an up close view. Also, keep doing whatever you want, disregard stupid comments!
James you know as well as me those people DO NOT APPRECIATE THE ART & ENJOYMENT OF PLAYING. AS FOR ANYONE ELSE ON TH-cam NO WAY IN HELL CAN I LEARN FROMTHEM THE "RIGHT WAY TO PLAY A SONG & FURTHERMORE YOUR THE BEST OUT THEFE FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. I LOVE TO LEARN I JUST WATCH YOU PLAY AND PICK IT UP RIGHT AWAY CAUSE I STARTEDIN 5TH GRADE BUT YOU HAVE ADVANCEDME BEYOND MY DREAMS. THANK YOU.HI MRS JAMES!! YOU ARE SO BLESSED!
Love your vids, love the way you seem to figure out all the chords, the T shirts are great. I have watched you progress since the first Beatle tracks you put on the web (which helped me a lot} and the ups and downs you have been through, keep it up and just do what you do because you do it great.
I enjoy watching and learning. I made requests on your old PT channel, but decided I was wearing out my welcome. PS, bought a honey burst LP, running it through a Marshall DSL 15, and learning the intro to SIBLY off of LZ3, having a blast learning.
Hello brother,I have no complaints with your playing I love all your music,I've learned lots from you and will continue watching your awesome videos,there will allways be critics out there don't let it bother you,they can allways look elsewhere,you keep doing what you do,peace brother,God bless you and your family
This is old enough that hopefully..... no one will see it but you. i just wanted to thank you for all of your great videos, and to mention that due in some part to your instruction, I was inspired to seek out a local teacher. I've been taking theory/standard/slide guitar lessons for nearly a year now. It's going pretty well. I'm actually playing in an Allman Brothers cover band, a Grateful Dead cover band, and an acoustic Americana band. I'm not sure if links are allowed in these posts, but I'll try to post another comment with a soundcloud clip. Thanks again for all of your hard work and generosity. Mike
Hi James James, I have been listening to the greatest hits alman brothers 12 songs I am not sure now if it's little martha that i heard picking and strumming its on the same album I believe you followed and picked up Jessica from.
Learned Jessica note for note right after it was released. Always played it in three piece bands. Never gave much thought to the rhythm guitar part. Always listened more for the B-3. Much over do respect for Less Dudek. Know he played the acoustic intro. Assuming he played the entire rhythm track as well? Thanks for the info. Also watched your video of you grilling your wife about her knowing your guitars. Such a task master you are. Lucky she has a good sense of humor. My wife would have smacked me in the head with one of them about the second or third guitar into it. Who knows in 30 years when you reach our age...maybe she will! LOL
Hey, I'm sorry that the only other comment I've left was a request but I still love all your videos! Watching your videos has really helped me improve a lot. So thank you very much!
I totally get playing requests. If you dont feel something for a song , then its forced and unreal...as unreal as somebody demanding something from an artist , especially one as generous as youve been to us....thanks for this lesson, i needed a leg up
Les Dudek was the other guitar player on this recording. He’s probably playing the acoustic. Les also plays all of the harmony lines with Dickey Betts. He claims ownership of the basic melody and arrangement of Jessica, though was not credited as a composer. Les is all over this recording and he deserves a lion’s share of credit for his contributions to what many consider the Allman Brothers (and Dickey Betts) greatest instrumental. I’ll take Liz Reed, but … that’s just me.
It's true to not get caught up in all the request stuff, which makes the fun and relaxation become WORK. Thats no good for sure. Great tune, great cover, and I've mentioned it several times before but that J-200 is my "fav". She stands out very nicely in this video. Well done:)
There's someone out there. I've been on Ramblin' man for a week or so. Thought about Jessica, knowing that I didn't know the rhythm, except that it was probably key of A . I dare not request anything, but u played two songs with thecsame guitar, no change T shirt WTF . Thanks mate
Sucks that people nag you for requests. I love your channels, they have helped me learn so many more songs and become a lot better player. Keep doing what you do
Don't let the ill mannered, unwashed masses get to you my man. Do what you wanna do, when you wanna do it, and keep on rocking. It's your channel. There really is no other way.
I read somewhere that it was Tommy Talton who played the acoustic guitar intro and thruout the song unless that was wrong dont know.I know Les Dudek played the first clean guitar solo in Ramblin Man as Dickey tells him alright on the track just a bit of trivia and answer to what you said about who played the acoustic guitar.Glenn P. in N.Y.
Soulshine, blue sky, jessica, midnight rambler, rambling man, stormy Monday, sweet melissa, little Martha, whipping post, midnight rider, seven turns , not my cross to bear
James, I've said it before, you just have an easy way about you that makes your videos fun to watch and learn from. So just think about all the positive comments and don't let one stupid comment get to you. Hey if I can just add something to this video, I think people will like this. There is a cool little intro to the Rhythm playing in the song. it goes like this... the first note being an E on the bottom string. 6/0, 6/3, 6/5, 5/0...play that quickly then start the rythem playing just the way you showed it.
Sorry brotha, I did ask you for a lesson a little bit ago on another video. Totally get it. My job often makes me feel like a performing seal and it gets testy fast lol. I did ask for a song on Jackson Browne The Road as its just such a cool song would love to do it around a camp fire or something. But totally get that you may not want to do a lesson for it. No worries. I love spending a day on your videos. My fingers dont like it so much, but my skill levels do lol. Thanks for all you do.
I didn't request this , but I enjoyed it ! Thanks posting ...All the parts to a song are important, and the rhythm guitar seems boring to some , but without it the song just isn't the same
Thank you for bringing ALLL of this music back into my life. I have not heard alot of this since i was a kid. I was born in 1963 . in 1967 i picked up a tennis racket when can't get no satisification came on the radio the 1st time here in America . been a lover of those guys ever since and all that followed like the doobie bro.

On the day this song doesn't make me feel good, I will know that I am finally dead inside.
I got to say how deeply I appreciate your hard work and diligence in bringing so much to the musical community. You have helped me play guitar better with your excellent lessons. Thanks again from Jammin Thom
You nailed it man, that is it !!!!!
I respect your view point..have fun man..you're great at what you do Jimi James.. You have an incredible ear , a gift. I enjoy playing along with you learning, jamming and just having fun. cheers
Your the Greatest as a man teacher,you've helped to not only improve my player as well as your rythm and reason to playing an instrument you've helped give me lots of enjoyment,Rock On
I appreciate every lesson you provide. I know you know your music if you wearing that shirt. Been there many many times. Grew up near New Orleans.
You're so good and so very helpful. Thank you.
The true fans understand how you feel and I know there are many of them, like me.
I'd like to request that you keep having fun showing us the way on these great songs.

Thank you so much! I've searched everywhere for this, and you'll find 100 videos on the lead guitar for Jessica, but NONE for this.
Really appreciate the effort you put forward. I've learned alot, and hope to learn more.

Hi James James, I have been listening to the greatest hits alman brothers 12 songs I am not sure now if it's little martha that i heard picking and strumming its on the same album I believe you followed and picked up Jessica from.
Les Dudek played acoustic on Jessica. Not an official member of the Allmans, but was on a couple of songs on Brothers and Sisters.
Co-wrote it, though he didn’t get credit.

Please play whatever makes you happy!
Tonight, James plays whatever he wants, the fans give him nothing but praise, and I gush over that beautiful SJ-200
I totally get playing requests. If you dont feel something for a song , then its forced and unreal...as unreal as somebody demanding something from an artist , especially one as generous as youve been to us....thanks for this lesson, i needed a leg up
Tonight on Top gear James James is playing our Theme tune Jessica Allman brothers here he is
Thanks for sharing & Jam ON!
I request that you please don't stop.

Your playing it right so YES YOU AER PLAYING IT DIFFRENT!!!
Thankyou.
Interesting trivia (hopefully anyway), this song was named for Dickey's daughter Jessica..........who is now 42 years old (man I feel old)
+EclecticHillbilly It doesn't matter how many million times I've heard this song, I could never remember the name. Now maybe I will. Thanks!
