5 of the Most Emotional Songs - Fingerstyle Guitar

[@flygonna3259]

Hi James. :) I'm Korean who loves your playing very much. First of all, i'm not good in English so bear with me please. I've been learning fingerstyle guitar since April, 2017. But men, it's so hard to play. I was not used to music person, but i always want to feel musician's enjoyment. So i decided to learn to how to play guitar, and i watched several guitar playing on KZbin. Some people's playing was so skillful and entertaining but it's very hard to feel touched. However your playing is so touching, and i can feel your true honesty. To tell the truth, i have a sort of depression. But everytime i listen to your playing, i feel calm, peace, hope. Thanks James. You made me keep alive when i'm tired. I will always keep my finger crossed for you. And someday i will play like you and give hope to others just like you did. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video. Thanks :)

This really got to me man, best of luck

[@MegaMSMD]

Dude, don’t worry about your English. You speak/write it better than most Americans do. Trust me, I’m one of them

[@lanremodele180]

Heyyy Friend. I am a UK physician and a Nigerian. But I want to tell you to try Jesus. The Joy he lavishes on your spirit and soul despite all your trials is immeasurable. Unbelievable. Before you accept Jesus genuinly , if you are severely depressed, I will advise you to see a Doctor for antidepressants .but when you accept Jesus and learn to walk with him with a pure heart , I can bet you will likely not need them( antidepressants) again after a while

[@johny1968]

That was such a honest pure comment. You're so right James's playing is just different, so much more peaceful and calm as you say, rather than the other musicians who try and fit as much talent as possible into a piece. Best of luck man, I hope you get to that level of playing you wish for.

[@snoosen1678]

Thank you....it’s so rare to see this in KZbin comments you truly are a good person😁

TUTORIAL FOR HURT BRO THAT WAS SO AMAZING

[@ryanneidlinger1959]

Michael Abraham right I know how to play it but not like that it was awsome

[@karterroberts03]

It’s easy. Open strings. Am pluck 5 string then 4 string then strum the whole chord. Same for C. Then D. 4 string 3 string strum. Chorus: strum in 4 4 time and only quarter notes: G Am F C repeat until back to verse

[@stevegreenhalgh68]

Lara Christine oops! I’ll fix it :)

[@montal1409]

Hurt is a NIN's song.

[@tannerbobanner9453]

@@montal1409 Actually, this is in fact a cover of Johnny Cash's Hurt, not the Hurt played by Nine Inch Nails.

Which was your favourite? Comment some of the most emotional songs you know and I might cover them in a future video!🙂

[@theowenmccarthy]

Boo's going home for sure

[@trunguyenthiet1028]

My Immortal!!!❤️

[@REdKRN]

Nuvole Biance

[@REdKRN]

Don't mind me asking but what was your favourite

[@reck_er5003]

Every track to be honest with you.

[@andressuarez3079]

Theres so many hours of playing alone in those hands its so easy to tell. The intuition on the rith is just a pleasure to listen to. Lovely video.

[@내일은기타왕]

2nd and 3rd songs.. the full range of dynamics, tons of tones.. but the most of all, so much feelings... can't stop listening..

[@Ridermeduza]

I started crying when you played My Immortal Evanescence. So beautiful thank you so much.

[@TommyLeeDepp]

I'm a bit late with commenting but I already watched it months ago, brilliant work!

[@richs8722]

And we were all waiting..thank god

[@WillShrek-vc4kn]

@@richs8722 who was waiting and for what?

[@isaiahnewman200]

Nivole bianche has been one of my favourites ever since my first girlfriend showed me it in highschool. Damn I learned it on piano and forgot about it. My aunt showed me it the other day, and at which point I hunted down and incomplete tab and in filled in the blanks myself. To my plesent surprise I woke yesterday to find out that the best of the best has made a tab for one of my all time pieces. Thanks James.

[@user-gi5ls3cv1k]

Hurt is such a good music to die for, it literally relates my life as if it was made for me.

[@prestonquillin6647]

No tears in heaven? :( probably the most emotional song ever written

[@voxac30withstrat]

Nice song but probably beaten to death sadly.

[@Zonitsiuz]

@@voxac30withstrat wtf

[@scooch4684]

ZmurffyZ - Overwatch As sad as it is he’s not wrong.

[@Charsept]

It's crazy how Johnny Cash's version of Hurt overshadows the original. He really made that song his own.

[@incognitotorpedo42]

Like Hendrix with Watchtower. Trent Reznor talked about the first time he heard Cash's version, and he knew the song wasn't his anymore.

[@charliedeguil1415]

No way it overshadows the original, there's way more emotion in the original and the meaning of the song hits harder imo.

[@swervature]

@@charliedeguil1415 -- Agreed. "The Downward Spiral" is the destruction of a man played out over 14 songs, culminating in his suicide note ("Hurt"). I've seen NIN 5x since the release of "Hurt", and it has brought Trent to tears performing it every tine. I read in an interview with Trent once that this is a version of an actual suicide note he wrote.

[@seth8056]

Charlie Deguil I mean you can say the original meant more to you, but cash’s version undoubtedly does overshadow it. I’d venture to guess that alot of people don’t even realize it’s a cover, I certainly didn’t when I was younger

[@shanemiller2046]

OP , JC is just singing someone elses words. Albeit , he does a good job... But it is Trents song. Johnny shoulda , woulda , coulda wrote his own masterpiece instead of swinging off someone elses nutsack.

[@asif6786]

You should make a full cover of Nuvole Bianche. Your arrangement sounds awesome.

[@Minakushi-yz8pc]

Sadness and sorrow is my number one most emotional song

[@leewilson1368]

Full of soulful expressions. Fabulous talent. Thank you Sir.

[@jonharrison5012]

Thank you for making this. Its been 2 years. And still one of my favorite videos on KZbin

[@DariaSemikina]

Great choice of songs! Your version of "Hurt" is one of the best arrangements of yours, love the use of harmonics. It's great to see you exploring instrumental music as well, I particularly enjoyed Ludovico Einaudi in your interpretation. :)

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Thanks Daria, I try to include a couple of instrumentals in each of these videos :)

[@hasleyneon204]

James Mad world is best one

[@duncandevries]

So calm and beautifull, all of those songs. You earned my respect man

[@JakHart]

That was an absolutely beautiful arrangement of Hurt. I would love to hear a full version of it. Thank you.

[@ewandavies5911]

We need a full cover of Nuvole Bianche that was amazing

[@gageweighman8907]

Going through a hard ass break up rn and you are actually saving my life rn you are the most talented fingerstyle artist I know

[@laytonpro8655]

I can listen to you playing “I can’t make you love me” all day

[@ruthvega9058]

The second song made me cry

[@bonniemackinnon7136]

Gorgeous playing! Probably the best 10 minutes I've ever spent while on hold with Bank of America customer service! Way to go, James!

[@Tengo25]

Nuvole Bianche has been my favourite song since the VERY YOUNG AGE. I was 10-11 and addicted to it. Now when 23 it’s still the same every time. My point is I DO KNOW this song EXTREMELY WELL, and you played it 💯/ 💯 👏. respect 🇬🇪🇨🇦 P.S and of course most of us love this song for a reason. ერთად ვეღარასდროს ვიქნებით, მაგრამ ღმერთი გფარავდეს მუდამ !♥️

[@CrypticAngel15]

love the cover of hurt, it sounds so beautiful.

[@NarnzFitness]

I could literally listen to this guy play the guitar forever! 😵😆

[@phantomen1416]

I LOVE the notes at 00:24 they are just perfect

[@Ace-si3py]

Harmonics yes

[@dd8641]

Was all excited I learned Hurt. Then watched your version, and back to hating myself.

[@skeletor6287]

Yep hurt was the first song I learned and then BOOM he makes this and it’s a massive middle finger!

[@duyogiakohesus5905]

This rendition makes me sit for a while and reminice.... How could you make such emo songs more emotional? Love it a lot.

[@owenjamesparrymusic]

Theres just no end to the beauty a guitar can produce

[@destinedqueen5110]

The second song hit real hard in my heart 💔, love your channel man

[@larinestrydom9023]

I listened to these while i was just staring into nothingness, it filled me with a little more hope, im still kinda a beginner, but damn man, ur my new idol , i swear..

[@jimyplayeshendrix]

Superrelaxing...makes me dream of a peaceful world...I love it

[@MrGavinJohnsen]

You don't care for me enough to cry would be perfect for a part 2

[@holdmyguns5344]

Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

[@kenposnake]

The natural harmonics in hurt are amazing my dude. I mean the whole this is amazing but the harmonics were perfect

[@KIREGREBRON]

With your feeling for music and fingers that can do the job, everything you do becomes beautiful! It's almost perfect harmony!

[@beckfriedman754]

The monsters inc cover made me wanna cry

[@kazukihiratani]

TK from Ling Tosite Sigure - Unravel. One of the most emotional, sad, and beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@rodneygilbert6061]

Brother.... your whole channel is insane and inspiring to me. Such a motivation to get back to playing like i used to. Much love and respect. Not enough classic players such as you anymore

[@patrickguthe7983]

All music videos like this having that much traffic and less than 1% dislikes mean something to mankind. Period!

[@mvazquez4588]

Really liked My Immortal from evanescence. Gold! Ty for uploading

[@kaydavisblogger]

"I Can't Make You Love Me" is the story of my life, on both sides. I don't think I was meant to have the relationship, either way. This is a great way to play it.

[@applejuice512]

What beautiful playing, you are so talented. Great job putting this together.

[@ProspectingLife]

Tutorial on playing Twinkle twinkle little star on one string took me here! 😳 Amazing.

Finger Style is pretty much newer songs played in classical precision blend of melody and lyrics into a lyrical instrumental, executed with masterful virtuoso exactitude.
