How to Play "Payphone" (No Capo)

[@ojasgupta8360]

10 years later and this guy's still a legend

[@CartoonPostYT]

Heck yeah he is

[@jrvisions]

Wow how cool is that to learn the actual guitar part(s) of a song by the guitar player himself. Doesn't get any better then that. Wish more guitarist from popular bands were be doing this. Hope to see more of this and much thanks and respect to you. You're absolutely awesome for doing this! Wish you continued success.

[@WitchOfTheNorthFLWoods]

James, if you ever see this, I love you. I think your the best guitar player Maroon 5 could ever have, and I think I could listen to you play all day. You are the best! Thanks for wasting your time to teach us how to play that awesome song. Love you. ♥ Maroon 5 Forever ♥

[@Num471]

Haha, man, I wish more bands would do this. Even though I really don't care for Maroon 5 that much, watching them in interviews and other things, they come off as really cool, chill guys. Thanks James for the taking time out of your day to make these vids! Really shows the fans how much you love them and the music you make.

[@nessaholichu]

Maroon 5 THEMSELVES teach how to play their own songs???? I am loving this band each time more! They are awesome!

[@marthajane6617]

He seems like such a nice guy.

[@MossMuhairwe]

He is a pretty nice guy.

[@jacoposcaduto2821]

someone give him a medal, see the concert in milan few weeks ago you were great as always

[@Gunnerrecall77]

I thank god for guitar players like this. This has helped me with my picking had and it's fun to learn the song. I've been playing lead for ever and it feels nice to get back to chords!

[@czalette]

omg!you really are the guitarist of maroon 5!.so nice of you to make efforts on guitar tutorials knowing you're already a celebrity!all your videos are awesome!thanks!God bless!

[@judrud6336]

YAY!!! Thanks James...Can't wait to see you in concert in Dallas Texas in March...My mom got me tickets for christmas backstage passes too!!!!

[@JoeMahon92]

i really hope they upload more of these! especially for some of the older songs!

[@atomgroup3179]

Like the sun

[@lancecapio1847]

This tutorial's quite expensive.. Especially since it's from the lead guitarist of the band itself.. xD :))

[@andrewpappas9311]

It's impressive that he took the time to actually teach how he played the songs, James is a good guitarist but a bit underrated in a way but mostly because when people think of this band they usually think of Adam Levine

[@MrSirBerto]

AMAZING! Thank you for breaking it down for us. I guess sometimes we feel lazy to hear it ourselves by ear but even you said, you do it a lil diff live. It's always best to get things from the horses mouth! EPIC! Thank you!

[@Julyay1]

he gets really happy after he has shown how to play one chord :DD 1:46

[@zahrinalevine]

Tutorial from James is the best tutorial ever!!

[@anonnona6940]

[@AndyBeal-bananapeelindustries]

[@adeader28]

The song sounds so easy... Yet it's not, realised after watching this haha. Well maybe it's because I don't understand how to play guitar at all. I'm gonna have to find my acoustic guitar and learn this.

[@OldCowboySongs525]

get a pen. get a elastic. 1. put the pen on the place where the capo should be. 2. put the elastic on the pen under the guitar then. 3. you have a capo

Yes you can, everything you play on the electric can be played on acoustic too, the only difference is the sound... but it's exactly the same.
