I used to work in a small chain record store years ago and I would always play James Taylor over the speaker system. One day the owners came by for a visit and made me turn James off. Said I should only play the new chart stuff; "the stuff we want to sell". I guess what they never realised is that I was always sold out of James Taylor CD's. Whenever I hear him, I'm always taken back to my time in the music shop. Great guitar player.
Nice one! Years ago I would watch James Taylor and think, "No way" I'll never be able to play like that. But your knack of simplifying it and de-mystifying the art of finger picking makes it seem within reach, with just a little practice. Bravo!
Merci beaucoup for this, Pilgrim. You are such an enthusiastic picker and you have great taste in music. I started to watch Lee Sklar during the lockdown, who was JT's bassist in the band that also featured Carole King. When we went to people's houses in the 1970s, the first thing we'd do was look at the record collection. Everyone had Tapestry.
Good one Thom! JT is not only a great fingerpicker but great singer/performer as well. Good thing that he was able to kick his drug habit and get back to living his life. Hope that you & that little are doing well! 👍👍
Is this in drop D?? Around the 2:03 mark you mention playing a "G" on the fifth fret 6th string........that said, is there anything terrible played by Sweet Baby James?? Jim C.
hi guitar pilgrim. Would you please make video about one of these jimi hendrix songs. (Drifting) (Wait until tomorrow) (May this be love) (One rainy wish) (Scorpio woman)

When John Belushi tells you to slow down your drug habit, you know you're in trouble...
Lol...

this has been my favorite JT song for decades.
One of my favorite JT songs! Great choice.
IT'S NOT SO EASY, BUT POSSIBLE!

I love this song and this exact version, been listening to it for years....
Great song, and of course a great lesson
Genius at work.. one of his best
Heard this song, used to have the album on tape, but now I appreciate how complicated it is. 😱 Kudos!
Really nice. Thank you for this! 👏
Was just listening to this yesterday and thinking I should try to learn it.
Thank you.

Awesome. I did know the song but more from the beautiful cover by Joe Robinson. Cheers!
One of my favourite song

You’ve got a subscriber😊
Gosh where were you when I was leaning guitar as a young teen!
That was the song that came to my mind when I read the title.
Aha! I will practice so we can play this in August😉…Nice song
Excellent video!
I'd love to hear from you how to play "Changing Channels" by Mac Macanally.
It's very similar to James style.
Suggestion....Maybe some one-hit wonders of the 60's? ......Great job on this one!!!!
Hey GP, another great video. What string gauge do you use? We have the same guitar, but yours just sounds better!
I think at the moment 0.12
Great guitar stuff as always I might add. Thank you. Oh and yes you would play a James Taylor song on your Taylor guitar you sneaky rascal you! Ha.

One BEAUTIFUL James Taylor song you thought we don't know, BUT FEW KNOWS. .😂
Nice content by the way.
With time this can be done...but then, what about the vocals? The JT kind of vocals
*Beautiful (typo comment)
it sounds exactly like all his other songs.
You are racist.
Seriously, learn how to beautiful!
