James Taylor is a criminally underrated guitarist

[@jason1932]

so true, complex notes ontop of singing which is crazy- In the top 10 songwriters all time my opinion

[@medicalnegligence]

Totally agree. Paul Simon is also an underrated player.

[@Kalanimauimusic]

He’s not underrated by guitarists. We all recognize his genius.

[@TUBESTOOL]

He's not underrated to anyone that plays guitar.

[@grantvalencia752]

That's true and that Olson guitar sounds pretty swell!

[@bobbynewell2736]

One of the best acoustic guitar players of this century without a doubt

[@BetterqQoL]

Of the decade

[@richardlopez4318]

@@BetterqQoL he's been playing for half a century. So don't know what you mean

[@staff72]

Lyricist as well

[@trogytrog3558]

Absolutely unique

[@EZGrace]

James just makes the world a better place.

[@jdavis54]

The fact BILLY JOEL was at Howard’s wedding and sang a beautiful James Taylor song makes him an absolute legend

[@marwoodrobinson673]

What JT song was that?

[@robertball9009]

I’ve always thought James Taylor was absolute perfection.

[@writereducator]

He is the complete singer-songwriter: great songs, great voice, great guitar stylings, humble and approachable persona.

[@trogytrog3558]

Absolutely

[@kevinjosaitis3676]

His voice has not changed or aged at all in the slightest!!! Absolutely incredible.

[@edsambucci9564]

I dare anyone to watch this whole clip, listen intently and not get emotional...God speaks through James without a doubt imho

[@jackieguccione94]

Well said

[@stephaniepreston-mullins3262]

He definitely does. That first song he sang had me in tears, per usual. If you ever really need to feel *something* take a listen to any #JamesTaylor song. 🧡💙❤️

[@brianlehr78]

I agree.. John Denver has the same affect on me too!

[@freddytrinidad3155]

What a beautiful sounding guitar. What a gift to hear his timeless songs

[@timtonner946]

"You Can Close Your Eyes" is such a beautiful song...

[@markvaars37]

[@salmanrahman1290]

My fav…

[@fenderfox5080]

I love James Taylor since I was a kid, I shook his hand after he played a show here in Madison WI and he smiled and thanked me for coming to the show and waves goodbye. he's so humble and a great storyteller

[@gregdahlen4375]

he'd better thank you, you pay his bills

[@jsigur157]

That qualifies you for "next president"

[@mattmelcher4435]

Folk music legend

[@BigLar56321]

James Taylor is an American treasure. Still one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended was seeing him for maybe 2 hours, and it was all superb music, plus he always sounds as great as ever.

[@danilolegaspi5767]

a unique folksinger with awesome guitar talent. One of a kind. luv u james, superb talent...

[@trisortiz3312]

Some humans are given the job to make people happy, James is one of them!

[@jackieguccione94]

No question

[@rosco1pug]

that guitar absolutely rings in the hands of James Taylor, musical genius

[@PamelaFinney-hp2bo]

I love to hear the background of some of your songs!! Thank You James ❤❤❤😊🌹🙏

[@lhart99]

For James Taylor to go through the mental and emotional hardships that he's experienced in his life and to come out the other end of it a survivor is truly a miracle from the universe. I'm forever grateful for the fact that James Taylor put his experiences to music and give them to us.

[@Jamesvernontaylor982]

Thank you for your love kindness and support

[@jeffPATS22]

Such a gifted and talented song writer. Still gives me the chills.

[@robertjohnson3855]

JT IS AN ANGEL, HIS MUSIC IS SO COMFORTING AND BEAUTIFUL, HE WAS BORN WITH A CALLING FROM GOD TO BRING US HIS MAGICAL MUSIC.

[@jeffwolinski2659]

I've been thinking a lot lately about us losing our musical heroes as we all age. Some losses have hit me hard. But I think the thought of losing JT is my biggest fear, such a musical giant and exceptional human being. I hope he's here for another 20 years at least.

[@jimplum5165]

Wow. So good. And that guitar sounds amazing.

[@vincelucas5722]

James is beyond the beyond of talent - - singer and guitar player. He resides in my top five of my faves.

[@TripleDeano]

Wow....just lovely playing tempered w his smooth vocals. No pick says a lot.

[@sablemountain]

IMHO, this is the best version of "Close your Eyes" that I've heard!!!

[@TheAtticradio]

There’s a nice version of him and Carly Simon doing this song - it’s gorgeous - KZbin

[@jeffwolinski2659]

JT and Carole King do a phenomenal version as well.

[@ErikF]

Amazing guitar player. What a pro!

[@KKushman]

My favorite since I was eleven...👊🏼💚👊🏼

[@shaddring]

His voice is so pure. Saw JT at Red Rocks in Colorado. What an enchanting evening. At intermission he came out and signed a few things including my ticket. Amazing talent and an even more amazing person

[@peterjones4809]

He plays the bass line with his finger picking, not many players can do that. Great guitar player and his voice is so good.

[@mattmelcher4435]

Incredible voice truly heart warming

[@andypuckett8721]

O my god he is still so amazing god bless him

[@donnacraig6116]

The worlds a better place due to his creativity, voice and guitar playing.

[@user-vo3gh3cg2u]

Awesome God gifted Talent! Thank You, James!

[@azuansyakirin7397]

Its either the sound engineer did an outstanding job with the sound or James picking was just out of this universe. Flawless. I mean really. Paired with his soothing voice, gave me goosebumps from start to end.

[@hbertolinih]

I heard JT when I was 8y. His music graved on my heart. When I was 18y I passed a LP store where it was music playing. I bought this LP and his songs are on my mind.

[@DenEz_TV]

One of the greatest covers is a Mac Demarco's one on James Taylor song "I Was a Fool To Care". Amazing job! James always has interesting chords and melodies!

[@gregorheinrich]

incredibly well recorded - soundwise... / playing and singing is superb of course, as is to be expected by James Taylor

[@Noname-yk9qx]

I love JT!

[@JamesRonstadt]
