I was born in 1948. Perfect timing in my opinion. The soundtrack that was provided for my life was just stunning. James has been a vital part of it.

My sister was born the same year as you, in October. I came 11 years later. She was in love with JT & his music & she turned me on to him when I was 9 or 10. Ditto that for The Beatles. I'll be forever grateful to her, that I caught all that great music, listening vicariously as a child, through her. 🙂

Completely feel exactly what James is saying about being a baritone. Much of the best music are sung within tenor range. You do what you can, but it really does limit what you’re able to do vocally. All you can do is work with what you have and through that is an art that can be shown through persistence and acknowledgement. No wonder James is a great songwriter and guitar player.

I agree..he has a distinctive voice...The reason why,as he said being a baritone, he has lasted so long in the music, is that he made the best out of his limitations from his voice, and used it as musicaly as he could. Wich of course was where the magic was to be found...out of that 'limited' voice range. Great musician...

Distinctive- and genuine two qualities that really really help you connect with people as a singer. I'd always thought James was more of a tenor but much of his singing IS in a low comfortable range and he has an almost conversational style - which is where much of his warmth and appeal cones from. He could do a good blues vocal early in his career to, for variety and had a pretty string falsetto. He doesn't use it so much on record now though. Either he's lost it due to age, or he's decided it doesn't suit how he wants to connect with people now Going for the high notes is really more of a younger man's energy voice. James has reached the reflective part of his life and so it's figures he'd want to sing to match. He sure sounds good to me.

+Alvaro Arana "Baritone doesn't mean a lower voice" Baritone means exactly that. Bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano are specific registers in the sonic range, applying not just to voice but to anything capable of producing musical pitch. Whatever you think of the quality of the baritone vs. tenor voicings, to say that baritone does not mean a lower voice than tenor is factually incorrect.

I tried all sorts of thumb picks and finger picks to no avail and then I saw James's video. I immediately went online found and ordered the, necessary materials and began to manufacture my own nails and this has changed everything. Thanks James, you have , with just with that one video, made my playing so much better, and even more enjoyable.

A beautifully sounding acoustic guitar. James is just so talented. The Neuman U87 mic is just perfect for this warm bell-like tone.

The great jazz guitarist Pat Metheny dedicated a song to James. It's called "James" strangely enough. One of the great voices I think too. Apparently he can harmonize anything vocally and can hear and sing the most difficult intervals. But what a beautiful soul and poetic too.

Geez, I was right 44 years ago. He's not a stuck up person. They hated me at school because I preferred him over SANTANA. I liked his music and his "Two Lane Blacktop" movie with Dennis Wilson and Warren Oates. Even stole the paperback book from juvenile hall in Oakland Ca. (falsely put in there...I earned that book!). So here I am, 60 now, watching this and his "NAILS" video trying to improve my fingerpicking because I watched this awesome Gabriella Quevedo play on You Tube. I need to live longer. But, if James is still learning, so can I!

In his guitar playing, I love the combination of his warm tone with the slightly percussive, "chomping" style he uses. He's unique that way.

I found that a cool way that my favorite artists incorporate layered beats is through their finger picking... many of my friends don't give stuff like James Taylor a chance cuz they assume a soft sort of lack of head bobbing aspect in this type of music. They're so absolutely wrong. If u listen carefully enough to how some artists like Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, tons of awesome bluegrass artists use their guitar picking, u will begin to get thrilled with their layered badass beats.

I have always loved James, and I am learning to play some of his songs. The way he plays, and the skill, has always confounded me. I have a CD now with lessons on his songs, so I hope I will finally figure out a few things. I am going to see him next year; this year's concert was rescheduled due to Covid. I have always called his voice, "maple syrup." It is so mellow and sweet. I listen to him while I sew and do housework, and it makes me so happy! I would love to meet him someday. I love James the way my daughter loves Eddie Vedder. lol

His technique is so masterful that it looks like there's not much going on with the left or right hand, yet out of the guitar comes such a range of subtleties and emotions, his playing is as classy as it gets.
