My grandmother once told me that beautiful is not only what you can see, but you can feel it and hear it, this must be what she meant
This comment isn't getting the recognition it should
Edit:ok now it is
K...now I’m crying...this comment and this beautiful music gave me the rest 🖤💭
Search youtube for Clair de lune by Debussy. listen and enjoy. Many classical pieces are emotional, deep, and engaging.
Adithya Fajar Negara close ur eyes
Let ur other senses take over
Yeah
Art makes sense
To those who appreciate it’s beauty and what it can offer.....
but for Saeba Ryo it's what he can see
My dad has just recently left my siblings and our mom. He was a musician and would practice Guitar all the time, and it would eco through our house. I loved it. Now our house is quiet. So I listen to this and pretend it’s him sitting in his office, peacefully strumming his guitar.
Update:
I dont know if anyone will see this. But i wanted to leave an update for all you lovely people who have wished me and my family the best. Its has been four years since my father has left. It was hard, our relationship was very rocky but I am happy to say that we have reconnected. And he will be playing at my wedding in April. Blessing can be found in the darkest times. And i wanted to thank all of you who took the time to leave your love.
Im really sorry
Thats so beautiful
Stay strong! Have faith and pray to god. 💪🏻
This. ^ God is always the answer, even when it doesn’t seem like anyone or anything can help.
YoshiTheBird ❤️❤️all the best to you
My brother has just passed away he had a guitar and he was passionate about playing it, holding his guitar brings so many memories to me I miss him so much,decided to learn guitar to be able to eventually play the songs we used to love
I'm sorry for your loss, stay strong
@@andrej8377 Thank you so much brother I appreciate it
Sorry for your loss man, i hope playing the guitar will bring you a little peace
R.I.P Youre brother might be gone but never forgotten.
God bles you man, I don’t know what it’s like to lose someone but I’ll be praying for you
A good friend of mine who was amazing at playing the guitar and even gave me a few lessons just passed away from the Corona virus today and this video reminded me so much of him 💗
Bella K I'm sorry for your loss. We will all get through this
Bella K are you being serious?
Keep going girl, you'll be alright.
Ah, the idiots who go outside got your friend, better get the glock
Be strong
There are still a lot of beautiful songs out there but sadly we don’t recognize or know them.
So tru
i feel that way about the song like a fool by cocaine 80s. no one knows them but they’re so good
J4fun19 _ haha yes we don’t remember
666 like...
Where is my mind, mad world
Do you ever imagine yourself playing this at a concert and having everyone love you?
No? Just me?
IdOmge I think that would be cool
Yeah but I suck at guitar lol
IdOmge yup
Pretty egotistical
i imagine playing in my room by myself and getting satisfaction from that
Has anyone else thought of playing this for their favorite person personally just to see their reactions and see them having tears of joy or is it just me?
Yes, but they’re in Heaven. Too bad I can’t converse with both of them while on Earth.
no stfu. ur kirng
You got 152 people who feel the same way u do by the time am commenting this
My father passed a few years back. At the time, it didn't hurt as much, maybe I ignored the pain or maybe I was trying to be a tough and edgy teenager. But I look back on it and even though there was a lot of rough, there are things I miss about him, especially when he would play his Guitar. Its been with me for the last few years gathering dust, but I've made the decision to learn it. For the memories.
Dont worry dude. You’ll be amazing at it😊
How's it going bro
Being in denial about the loss of family or someone close is never easy I know that now too...
He is proud of you
I’m so sorry for you! Hope you’re ok! I’m sure you’ll be awesome at guitar
River Flows In You was hauntingly beautiful.
👍
Awwww. Alexandr Misko is smiling. :-)
Yep
If you watch his fingers closely you will clearly see he is not playing the song alone.
L G but it was still beautiful though
I've never seen River flows in you played that way on guitar, bravo
Should check out Igor Presnyakovs version of it. It's truly a beautiful arrangement.
That's how i play it
Sungha Jung has an incredible cover on TH-cam. Check it out.
It is really hard on the guitar, i play guitar and piano and can play river flows in you on both, but it is far from easy on the guitar, so you don't see it that often
Sungha Jung is the best one.... wowwwhhh
I’m a guitar player and I can’t count how many times I come back to this video just to close my eyes and take it all in. The sound of strings are just so beautiful. If there’s anything that helps me to calm down it’s to just sit down in a room by myself and pick up a guitar and play.
This ^... exactly this....
Exactly
we dont care
yes
@@studytime9663 if you receive love and start accepting it you will start to care,give it a try,there are still good people out there,you just have to search hard,dont give up on life
My guitar in the background: you've never touched me like that...
💔💔
Got me rolling....
🤣
xD
Ahahahahah this made me goofy smile lolllll I can just imagine the cartoon scetch of that- golden👌😭✨
I clicked this with uncertainty, then the first song was to build a home. That song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you,
Same
Same here. Almost forgot about it too. Immediately went to buy the tab

I love it when i’m sitting comfortably with my guitar on my thigh, eyes closed and just playing random stuff on my guitar. I usually let my hands carry me away through some world full of music. Sometimes i recognise a part of another song and sometimes it just doesn’t fit. Somehow at those moments i feel the most relaxed in my whole day. The sounds are somehow blurred but so clear to my ears. I love it.
That's the most beautiful way to play it
This is exactly how I play!
Me too late to get down an relax, think obout somesthing etc... :D
Damn. That's deep.
When I going in the same situation, I sometimes can be hipnosed
me at 3:05 - "Yeah I could learn this"
me at 3:10 - "oh. nevermind"
Relatable
You could :) i learned this song in like 3 weeks and i’m shit and didn’t really have much motivation other than passing the time. I bet if you’re really trying you could learn too and in much shorter period of time than i did!
@@loisjackson1194 thanks for the encouragement, I might just give it a go!
easier on the piano, but try and you might find you can do it
You can do it!!
I learned this a couple years ago with my dear classical guitar but i replaced all the tapping with fingerpicking instead and it sounds just as beautiful hahaha☺️
The first tune is possibly the most beautiful arrangement I have heard in my 50 odd years of loving music, it takes my soul away to fly and tears flow. Can't help it...so sad and deep but also so lovely...thank you very much.
Mateus asato - don't dream it's over
You're welcome
Can u pls make tutorial on all 5 of these songs
yes that would be great
Ye ni bnaega ye free m
That would be great
Please make a tutorial
He already made a tutorial of "river flows in you"
My uncle just passed from rona... he got me my first guitar which is still my current, he was a musician, I never played to much, just started learning barre chords when he passed, im gonna keep progressing for him
@@matteo-nf1kv Bruh what if they weren't lying, you could've just hurt their feelings. And if they were lying oh well, doesn't matter. You shouldn't say that to someone who just had a loss.
i believe in you, i am so proud of how strong you are. you deserve the world, don’t let this bring you down because always remember that a part of him will always be with you, that guitar is so valuable
How have you been doing? I have picked up my guitar more and more
You got this bro , good luck ❤
keep going sure his proud of you on what u got going
If your reading this just take a moment to remember those we have lost and those who are battling mental health and if your feeling down remember I care and people love you so never go away
My best friend committed suicide. He never saw how good I became with my guitar.

WHILE DRINKING SELZER i am so sorry for your loss. wishing the best for you and your family ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔♥️
Really hope you feeling better now
I'm sorry for ur loss
I was like one day that I wanted to learn how to sing with my guitar skills, but after listening to most of this guys cover I’m just gonna focus on guitar because who needs to sing when one day your guitar will sing louder for you.
Yo, if anyone wants to pick up a guitar ya should do it!
I totally see where you’re coming from. But for me I feel like I’m giving up on singing. I have been so passionate about it but I just can’t seem to be happy with my voice. I’ve always had a weird relationship with my voice. Sometimes I Like it and sometimes I can’t stop hating it. But with guitar, I don’t say I’m bad it it. I say I’m excited to improve. I don’t want to give up though.
Yeah I told another guitarist at my work who sings that I can't sing for shit. He said "anybody can sing, you just gotta find your pitch". Idk I don't think i'll ever have a great voice but what i've been able to do, is match the tone of the guitar.
Try humming or singing without words at first and just match the notes with the guitar..you'll hear when it goes together and you'll know that sounds good just by the mere fact it harmonizing with the guitar
@@averyander4977 oh wait I didn't realize you said you're newer to guitar. Maybe wait till you get a bit better at guitar to where you feel you can play and sing at the same time. Maybe you'll feel better singing with the guitar.
Here are some of what I believe to be the most beautiful songs in the world! Which songs would you choose?
And before you comment, yes I know Where is my Mind is written by Pixies. But it's Maxence Cyrin's version that my arrangement is based on as that is particularly beautiful. The same with regards to Mad World which is written by Tears for Fears, but it's Gary Jules' version which I consider to be the most beautiful version of the song.
Ok James , I have to ask. Do any of your instructors/professors know you have half a million subs ? For some reason I see you sitting in a lecturer with an instructor who kinda feels uncomfortable teaching you anything music related. It makes me laugh. You are killing it man . Keep up the amazing wonderful work.
Oh and my choice , a thousand years , and Coldplay scientist. The scientist song is heart wrenching . I typically prefer your version and I sing along . It's far more crushing than the original.
Last choice is John legend and Lindsey Sterling, All of You. I guess I'm a sucker for emotional songs.
What should I pick for fingerstyle
A classic or a acoustic guitar ?
Все круто!!))) Но ведь Where is my mind - это песня группы Pixies!)
James Bartholomew do tutorial of let her go ( that one was masterpiece by you man)
Songs List :
1. 0:00 To Build A home - Cinematic Orchestra
2. 2:17 River Flows In You - Yiruma
3. 4:10 Where Is My Mind - Maxence Cyrin (Originally by Pixies)
4. 6:06 Porz Gorer - Yann Tiersen
5. 7:39 Mad World - Gary Jules (Originally by Tears for Fears)
Thanks
Yurama xd.
@@TableTennisAle haha sorry brother
U rock
What movie is To Build a Home from?
Very nice playing! My favorite song of all time is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. It sounds great on guitar as a chord melody.
😥
That’s beautifull, You ever heard of Rylinn? Worth the try to search it up :).
I love seeing your comments everywhere I go.
@@jackdirksen à

Just bought the tab of “to build a home”, the first time i heard your arrangement i teared up... since that time i’ve listened to this video like 20 times. But today I decided to learn this beautiful piece, thanks for all you do !
I love the way you play. So genuine, so real. Very inspiring
Sounds absolutely amazing! I can't believe you managed to record those so clean without any string noise and other bits and pieces.
my uncles best friend had a cousin who used to play at my sisters birthday parties. he passed away last month and this reminds me of the way he used to serenade all of our hearts. thank you for this nostalgic masterpiece, I cannot hold back my tears.
River Flows in You hits different for me, helped through some hard times. And hearing this in Acoustic makes it even better
Man, you are incredeable because you do not cut the camera so much and I can see the chords. You're the best!!!
This was very beautiful. My late husband played fingerstyle guitar and it's been almost three years since his passing. This is some of the first music I've been able to listen to. Thanks.
❤
When he got to the chorus of River Flows in You, my jaw DROPPED
Since we haven’t been able to go to school because of the Coronavirus, I haven’t been able to really talk to my teacher for worship team and Drumline. This guitar playing gives me the same feeling of when I’m in worship team, blessing God, and having fun with everyone. I am near to tears. Thank you.
Amen
I would gladly pay for to build a home tabs
I could see about releasing tabs for it :)
@@JamesBartholomewMusic Yeasss pleasseeee!!
YES, BUT WHERE IS CALIFORNICATION
Plz
@James Bartholomew my whole family is gonna buy the tab
Thanks for this wonderful compilation James. That rendition of Where is My Mind.... goosebump-inducing
Before this pandemic, i used to listen to you on Spotify on my way to work and back home. Your peaceful arrangements reminds me to stay calm and just enjoy the music.
How magical it must be to be able to create this
Why do I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to River flows in you? 😭
It's just a song lol
@@nicetry9737 but it has a soul
It's probably because you have daddy issues lol😂
@@aaronaaron8604 wtf
@Manca Rosebird
Because river flows in you.
I ........ I honestly think that the guitar is the most beautiful instrument
I put words into that just right now the firsts song
Same
absolutely
listening to guitar videos like these always remind me of my father. he is so brilliant and talented when it comes to music, and i always enjoy coming to his house and listen to him practice.
ive recently asked him to start teaching me, since ive always wanted to play like him. so far ive learnt 3 cords and i can strum a little bit. :-)
you started playing to build a home and when it stopped and you started river flows in you, chills straight down my spine. i love this thank you
Kiss the rain by Yiruma is also a beautiful song
I thought about including that but wanted to stick to one song from each artist :)
th-cam.com/video/wBNhApVAjoE/w-d-xo.html
Its a guitar cover of kiss the rain by nobu and it's beautiful
Oh thank you.
Very mocing song too
this.. this right here.. this is why i play the guitar. it helps express the feelings i could never form into words. it helps get them out. the guitar is such a beautiful instrument. the sounds produced from it reach my soul and give me meaning.
What kind of guitar should I get if I’m looking into starting to learn
@@tannercatanzaro741 a classical one to help build up ur calluses In ur fingers.
That’s so amazingly beautiful…. So rare to find Beaty and moving sounds nowadays…I thank you deeply for sharing this and I thank the universe for randomly finding this. ❤
Everyone in comments are telling about their relatives and friends who have died recently. I'm literally crying guys 😭
Me toooo 😢😢😢😢
ZmurffyZ - Overwatch I know so sad
Yes yes yes
Same.😭😭😭😭
River Flows In You - immaculate choice good sir and incredible performance!
Listening to you play is inspiring me to pick it back up again towards fingerstyle... Pieces like this are a major reason I got into playing to begin with... In all of the compositions I've played or listened to over the years, it is the beauty of what speaks to the soul and moves it to that grateful stillness within is what makes it all worth it... To capture a moment timelessly as we cast across the universe for this moment in time... To realize the beauty of existence in the feeling of all that is good... Keep the fire alive.
Beautiful playing :)
It's time to get back to the roots...
My dad used to play guitar all the time, and he played amazingly. But a few years back he got a hand injury at work. Everytime he looks at the guitar or tries to play, i see how much it pains him.
I’m sorry to hear that
Guitar is something that you can’t never forget something that is apart of you now something that was there for you when you were down and out. I would go really sad and emotional for you it’s just a guitar but for him it was his friend. I’m so sorry to hear about your dads hand
Such a wonderful tone your guitar has, very warm and rich. Your playing is fabulous.
I don’t know why but i am in love with the first song
Maybe u r depressed n lonely like me
It reminded me of “never on the day you leave” by John Mayer in the beginning
It’s just beautifull...
This video reminded me of my past and I lost someone very very important to me. My uncle named Jimmy you passed away from smoking a couple of years ago 😭😭😭😭! He told me to follow my heart and dreams. And to be a good person through life and to help people who are sad and depressed about a person who had a family member or friend died recently and to help them feel better through their life ❤️😭😊😊😭😭😭😭!
"To build a home" has always been 1 of my favourite songs. It makes me feel things I never knew I could. Listening to you play these beautiful songs is simply memorising! Wow ❤️
We dont care
@@studytime9663 don't use we* it's just you
@@studytime9663if you don't, then get lost, this isn't the place for you
@@studytime9663 We? It's just you dipsh*t
One of the best things i have ever done with my life is teach myself to play the guitar. 20 years later, it still gives me goosebumps when i play
This is the most beautiful version of to build a home that I've ever heard, even more than the original. But 2:17 is too short! Please make a full length version of that song.
Me a finger style guitarist: Ha I don't have a pick to lo-
Wait... Where's my capo??
LOL 😂 😂😂😂 HILARIOUS
no cap? no god? no printer? no dad? save 15% on car insurance today with cargo insurance
damnit i was about to try on those, then i read your comment AND NOW IM RUNNING THROUGH THE WHOLE HOUSE SEARCHING MY GODDAMN CAPO lmao
Always loved ‘where is my mind’, that guitar hit and theme throughout…I didn’t realise the subtle complexity behind it at all and am amazed. Thanks.
Perfect audio + perfect playing. Wow man, so beautiful.
What an amazing talent you have James. That must take a lot of dedication and effort on your part. Respect to you. Hope you go far with it.
To build a home is so beautiful on guitar! Keep up the good work!😁👍🏻❤️
That guitar sounds beautiful, so rich in tone. 😊
It's 1 am at my place. My mood is at all time low, I just closed my eyes and went through these beautiful 9 minutes. Thank you for making me feel better ❤️
To build a home 👌🏻👌🏻
Pranav SP It actually sounds better on the guitar than the original
Ikr! I literally cried listening to it.
Is it a different tuning?
I just love how there are no words
Absolutely beautiful to listen, Thanks 👌
This made me so emotional. I’m going through a lot right now, and this music spoke to me. Love this!
If I could do that, I'd never leave the house.
luna mood
Waaiiittt
Oh my goal fan????????
You can. Just practise
you'd have to never leave the house to learn to do that
Looks like you’re not going anywhere now lol
absolutely beautiful. It's actually really funny, but I started playing instruments YEARS ago, something I grew up with of sorts. This takes me way back to my early years as a young musician between bars, talent shows, and cafe's :)
I play guitar and greatly appreciate these beautiful songs. I wish more artists knew the lives they have saved, by sharing their joys and pains with the world. Mine was one of those and the only way to repay that debt is to share my story. Blessings to all. 🙏
literally two of my favorite songs, Mad world and Where is My Mind. Beautiful.
James Bartholomew's tone is always the best 👍
You do magic with your fingers and you make everyone's heart skip a beat.
😏
Where is my mind is such a beautiful song with this fingerpicking pattern. Great job! Very relaxing songs.
You did it again! Perfect 👍🏻
6:53 that note touched my soul
This is so beautiful, only those who are touched understand what good music does to the soul!
I've just started my day listening to you and it's all so beautiful- what a talent!! Thank you
I could listen to this everyday. So clean and crisp. Thank you!
Just happens to also be one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen
I want this on loop and never stops thank you
reminded me my first love - he was really into guitar and used to play a lot for me, just some melodies,
that were really outstanding and calming
thanks, i loved it
Astounding, once more! 🔝💯🎵👌
Thank You,for sharing this, James🎵😃🙏🙏🙏.
You are very talented. I wish I could put this on repeat cuz it changed my whole mood. Thank you for sharing your lovely talent
I want a teacher 😢😢
Incredible first song!) Bravo, James)
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for making this youtube.
Please make part 2 of this video
when i heard where is my mind i got goosebumps wow
Awesome! Especially River flows in you
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your skill and passion!
…been a Rock-Guitarist since 45 years…but this music is what touches me really deep in my heart ❤. Thanx for The vid…
River flows in you is just heaven!! 💙
As someone who deals and struggles with so much anxiety everyday, the release of emotion just from hearing every note you play from your guitar is unreal……..
Imagine if you played those notes?
What a simply gorgeous tone. Thank you.
River flows in you, ... Something really did flew in me while listening to it.. Pure emotion
I just want to say that the Yiruma- River Flows in You playing was honestly the coolest/best guitar playing i've seen in my 25 years haha oh my god
Does anyone else like it when it screeches? Not being sarcastic
Honestly kinda do
i’m just so tied to every sound that the guitar makes, even a sound like that just adds that much more to the song!
Aliya's Ideas kinda like Freddie Mercury’s voice cracks during live performances. They were soooo beautiful
exactly! why do people buy new strings when theirs screech more often
Oh yeah definitely! That's a huge part of the sound, It makes the whole thing come togethr in between notes and at the sanw time it makes it sound very real
You are absolutely wonderful to listen to!! Such technique and feel. I've been playing for 3 decades and this talent is refreshing and inspiring.
Thank you for the music!! It's so nice to listen. ❤
