So clear and easy to follow. Love the way you sing the names of the chords to the melody. That makes it so easy to learn. You're an incredible teacher... Can't thank you enough.
Huge fan of JT and have never bothered trying to learn him on guitar because there is so much nuance to what he does that I felt like I could never do it justice. But your lessons for this one, and Fire and Rain, are so completely detailed and on the money that I have finally been able to nail these two songs to my satisfaction. Thanks so much for your research on this one and for sharing your work. You have become my "go to" lesson guy over the past year! Thanks!
Justin...great way to teach the song by singing the chord names and viewing the chords themselves. I may never play the song this well but I will have a better chance now that I've seen your video. Thanks from St. Louis
Brilliant. I used to play this ages ago and over the years, due as much to not playing enough as anything else, it fell by the wayside. Thanks for reminding me. Great playing.
Justin, Love the video. This is a song I have tried to play on and off for a couple of years and you have finally made it possible...thank you. People like you make the world a better place...thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Gotta go out and buy my second guitar...last one got a bit broken due to my crap playing ability about twenty five years back...thanks to you, Justin, I will now try again.
I laugh when I see how you teach, because its so silly sometimes with the "chord vocals", but 1000% effective. You're an incredible and thorough instructor. Thank you!!
so happy to hear that you are gonna do more james taylor...especially close your eyes. It would be great if you could also do a lesson on "soldiers"...a short, sweet, and underrated james taylor tune!
Justin you definitely ROCK.....I like your approach to teaching. I'm an old bluegrass picker but dabble in other genres and your approach is easy to follow and straight forward....GREAT JOB!!
love your tutorial, your voice is great and awesome when your switching between your accent and your singing. great lyrics when your doing the chords while singing, and mat i reccomend fire and rain for one of your james taylor tutorials?
Thanks Justin, I just love James Taylor. You mentioned covering "Carolina on my mind", will we have long to wait? No hurry I'm still learning this one and it could take another month before that is accomplished. Thanks again for your excellent lessons.
Fantsdtic song that I've loved for so many years. Incredible when you think he wrote in the car apparently ... and your version is excellent Justin ... be trying this over the next few weeks .. thank you
Your tutorials are so good , this is my favourite. I was 10 years old when this came out , my elder brother had the Album and I played it to death.Still one of my go to records and I still have my brothers original vinyl LP. Also your tutorial for Needle and the damage done, Neil Young set me on the road to learning to play the guitar properly instead of half tunes and giving up. Your awesome, keep them coming. 🎸🍺
I recently subscribed and absolutely love your channel ... want to start taking learning guitar more seriously (after 25 years of playing) ... and this channel is going to be a great resource!
Brilliant lesson. Thanks a million. Yesterday I became a grandad to a gorgeous baby boy, named... yes, you guessed it, James, so hopefully I'm going to be singing him to sleep to this. Thanks again.
Thank you! Cheers! | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
great stuff Justin! I was about to teach my son how to play the JT stuff and I stumbled upon your vids. Thanks for all the stuff you're doing. He is going to be your fan. BTW I would like to know what video camera of film you're using for utube, the picture is unusually clear. Thanks tony
Great job Justin, vocals weren't bad either.....lol. I am kidding. You did a fantastic job all the way around. Wish I could do that song half as good as you. Take care my friend.
Fantastic song song - a classic .. really appreciate this excellent lesson .. Justin this particular song really suits your voice. I am sure I speak for many people out here on the other side of the screen when I say we really appreciate your lessons Would love to hear you and Marty Jamz doing this - with maybe Marty on pedal slide .. or just a simple two acoustic guitar campfire scene … next time you visit the U.S. Such a pure and great song isn't it. JT was/is unique. I heard back in his young days he was buddies with the Beatles, how cool is that. Sweet baby !
Wow ! Did I ever enjoy that. Love the tutorial. You are a great teacher. I have wondered how to play that for 30 years. Thank you thank you, thank you !
Hi Justin, thanks for the JT videos! I went to download the pdf but noticed they are no longer on your site. Did "the man" come down on you? Is there a way I can access them?
half way through a bottle of good pinot when i stumbled upon your upload. agreed...ALOL. ALMAO @ 4:04 etc, etc. nice job, man. beautiful headstock on that guitar, mate. well qualified vocal as well . cheers.
Great stuff.... again!!!. A mate asked me to have a look at this song to play live. What better place to go and learn a song from beginning to end with all the bits and pieces, but JustinGuitar Songs!!! Thanks buddy.
I visited (and subscribed to) your channel. I love that you've included James Taylor in your extensive repertoire! It would be great if you could do a tutorial on James' Mud Slide Slim. It's got a funky, homey rhythm to it, and I think your voice would complement in nicely! Any plans for some Jackson Browne tutorals as well? Thank you for posting! I like how you sing the chords with the song, it cracks me up!
and yet another great song by a great teacher I must admit I'm no singer but when I paly a song I learn from you I too sing the chords instead of the words to the song people some times look at me funny as I do sometimes sing aloud Sir I tip my hat and bend my knee to the master of TH-cam your frined in the states Paul
ALL LESSONS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ONE. THANKS SO MUCH .
Justin masterclass! Take a bow my good man.
So clear and easy to follow. Love the way you sing the names of the chords to the melody. That makes it so easy to learn. You're an incredible teacher... Can't thank you enough.
I only watch these videos to hear Justin sing chords.. its the highlight..and i learn too
Thanks!
Thanks for the thanks 😊
Best teacher on the internet big fan man!
my mother used to sing this to me when I was a tiny human and every tutorial has frustrated me. this however, is a breeze. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! You just became my absolute favorite guitar instructor!!!
" B-minor the weird one" lol!! Totally connect with that description.
Brilliantly done mate! I love the singing chords touch. Truly one of the best lessons I have seen.
I appreciate you tubing it for us.
96 percent spot on..and thats amazing considering the genius James...thank u for this Justin
I've never really appreciated this song until I heard you sing it. Bravo! I can't wait for Close Your Eyes - my son's favorite.
My dad taught me guitar much the same way you do it, singing the chords as you play and i play along! Thanks~!
Thank you! i gotta say, it helps a lot when you sing the chord names while playing!
BRILLIANT lesson! Thank you very much Justin.
Justin, you know it and show it; the right hand makes the magic here. Thanks.
Outstanding! once again, Justin. Thanks.
Justin… You are such a great Teacher and Guitarist… I have learned so much from you!
THANK YOU!

Last comment 3 years ago! Timeless song and great lesson... and performance (singing is eerily like JT hisself!)
Justin...great way to teach the song by singing the chord names and viewing the chords themselves. I may never play the song this well but I will have a better chance now that I've seen your video. Thanks from St. Louis
you play it so clean ..and the lesson was so easy.. thank you very much gentleman..i guess i am the 1st one in Morocco to play it...
please do the lesson for Carolina in my mind....
Brilliant. I used to play this ages ago and over the years, due as much to not playing enough as anything else, it fell by the wayside. Thanks for reminding me. Great playing.

Easily the BEST guitar lesson I've seen! Thanks a lot - the video is great and clear for newbies! :)
