James James Guitar Collection 2018

[@paulgeorgia8013]

Just reminiscing about the great days of the James James channel. I sure hope he and Mrs James are well ❤

[@Coolcat3]

I love this channel. Hope you come back soon. Valuable channel forever sure!

[@budandbean1]

Sure hope you’re feeling better, you sound a lot better. Thank you for this super video, it’s really nice to see your guitars out like this. Love your J-200, I’d love to have one someday. Thank you again and A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours! Buddy

[@imannonymous7707]

Hes got great taste ...impeccable really..

[@imannonymous7707]

I really hope ur ok too man ..thanks for showing these..it was cool..

[@TheThirdRutherford]

Now show us the tee shirts, JJ. And whatever story is behind each one. I'm a 74 y.o. cancer survivor, the surgery and post-op treatment happened many years ago, so I sort of know your thoughts right now. Dad died from colon cancer, and I get regular camera work done. It was when I took up playing again a few years ago, looking for instruction for Lowell George's "Willin," that I discovered you. You've been my inspiration ever since.

[@tellett1]

Gene Davis You know there already is one, right?

[@carluptake5937]

Merry Christmas.....Shine on.

[@Dustin031]

I’m on of the youngins on your channel. Born in 98’ and love classic rock. I’m self taught been playing for exactly a year two days from now and your channel is cool sir. I do some lessons and things on my channel. I’d be honored to get a few tips from you

[@Jacob-nr7hq]

Im late but born in 02’ cant get enough of classic rock. Hows the playing? Any better lol

[@theknightsofawesomeness2701]

We are the future of rock 'n' roll. We've gotta keep the flame alive y'know

[@thebookofeli849]

I'm definitely one of the younger people watching this guys channel and learning songs since I'm 13 haha

[@C0rporalDiamondZ]

Hey JJ first of all sorry, English it's not my language, but I feel like I had to leave you a comment. You have been a huge inspiration to me, since the PT channel (when I barely knew how to do a C chord) and you have taught me so much about the guitar or even mandolin. I think about how great and important was for me to found your channel since now I am 21 y/o and starting uni to become a music teacher. So Thank you, hope you feel better and get well soon. Happy Christmas to you and your family.

[@GaryBook]

You have a great wife, any women who allows her partner to have that many great guitars is a blessing. Keep all your guitars because you do great things with them. It is great to see you on the mend. Take your time recovering, we look forward to your return; we will go back to all your old videos until your back.

[@yankeexpress]

I hear David Gilmour playing

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, to be specific

[@gmoore6166]

JJ you’ve helped me climb many a hill since I found your channel. I’m 65 and started playing at 16, I quit in my mid to late 20s for many years after the kids came along but a few years before the nest became empty I started back up and I found you on KZbin quite sometime ago when you were under another name and you were playing all the old songs that I knew from my youth you. I’ve been playing everyday since and I have to give you much of the credit for instilling that fire in me again. I wish you much peace, love and good health for many years to come to you and yours! Keep picking my brother! Oh! When I decided to start playing again I went on a guitar binge and added to my two old bangers I had since my teen years, I need to get my wife to watch your video of your collection!

[@judgetimbers588]

Get well soon! You have taught me more than anyone else on the web and are a true treasure. Thanks for all the lessons. Beautiful guitar collection. And as many others have said, you must have a fantastic wife to maintain that collection. Happy new year.

[@juanarellano5714]

Shine on you crazy diamond in the background, amazing

[@brianohehir9515]

Thanks James for all the helpful guitar stuff you have provided for us plebs over the year! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@johneaston197]

One day James was here and then he wasn't. It's none of my business, but I hope all is well with James.

[@johnstewartmusic9742]

Hey James, Just want to say thank you for what you're doing. Trying to create a good site and keeping things positive is very cool. I hope you continue to find the fun in it and keep things rolling. Cheers!!

[@johngilbert5100]

Absolutely fabulous collection of fine guitars....get well soon...

[@mars6433]

What he SAID. ha !

[@alanhankey3658]

Amazing I love your acoustics.

[@MsJoyLarkspur]

I remember your first show and tell...thanks for the tour and the lessons...you are my first and my favorite guitar teacher!

[@thebirdfromrio]

Such a nice collection love the shine on you crazy diamond 💎 in the background

[@ronhedblad2415]

Thank you, JJ -- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. It's good for the soul to hear you again. I hope you're on the mend and feeling great soon. My colonoscopy is scheduled; thanks for the PSA. You're the best, man. I love your site, and the songs you play. Best of wishes in 2019.

[@rcorbey]

Hope you are getting better thanks for all the time you have given over the years You are the best teacher on the tube.

[@DeadLetter]

My first electric was aPeavy Patriot back in the 80s. I have a Strat and had one in high school (maybe even middle school). And I’ve got a 335 very similar with an interesting provenance. My FIL loves music and music festivals. He went to a blues festival. Had food and a beer or two. Fell asleep in the grass listening to music. Awoke to his name being called. His ticket had won a raffle. A nice 1980s Gibson ES 335!! I’m the only son in law (his son doesn’t play either) who plays guitar. So I got ‘stewardship’ (I guess you’d call it) of the guitar. I don’t feel I own it, though he did give it to me. None of my 4 boys play, so no idea where it will go. Perhaps I will have grandchildren who will play. Thanks for the great video. I learned all kinds of stuff about guitars from it! Never heard of some of those! Be well, and have fun!

[@charlesschwartz307]

Hey James, Ive loved and benefited from your lessons. I never expected though I’d be saying thank you for inspiring me to do something for my health. Yet you have. I made my consult and procedure appointments for Jan 9th and 16th respectively. I think we all hope to inspire at least one person on this planet to do something positive. My message to you is that you have. Thank you friend, and best wishes for continued improvement on your health. From my family to yours, thank you and best wishes for this holiday season and many many more to come. Charlie

[@twistedlv]

Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Thank you for all you do. Merry Christmas, and hoping for a speedy recovery in the New Year.

[@MrFrampo56]

Fantastic guitar collection, fantastic guitar teacher , fantastic guy. Love your videos, sooooo grateful. Peace.

[@captaincrosbie]

Hadnt been back in a while. PT brought me out of guitar retirement many years ago, still going strong.You are an inspiring teacher and thats what its all about, also great guitars and best t-shirts. Wishing you well in your recovery.

[@GiorgosDimitriadisArtist]

Marvelous collection!

[@cliffkinsey9014]

So glad to hear you are well. Can't wait until you're back in the saddle. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@alphasxsignal]

Thanks for sharing. I still watch some of you old videos.

[@dbob3405]

Beautiful collection and you do them all justice-thanks

[@fatihgldr]

Actually i memorized all of them by your videos. But it's nice to hear stories. Thank you.

[@mauriceee1434]

Beautiful collection. I find your tutorials easy to learn from.

[@RRW276]

I can imagine it'd be hard to let any of these go & they all truly sound amazing. But there's always something very particular about your Hummingbird - its tone is damn near magical.

[@daviemcf]

Great guitar collection James,thanks for showing us them.

[@stevenbrownlie2095]

Thanks James. Hope you are keeping well. Damn fine collection. Love the LP’s and your acoustics. Nice to see a Teisco in there. First guitar I ever owned a loooong time ago was a 1 pup Teisco E110 Tulip. Very basic.

[@tdtom1376]

Really feeling it for you J.J. I hope you continue to be positive in your recovery and that you can once again, entertain and enlighten us. All the best for 2019 too.

[@damianbyers2316]

James, thanks so much for the tour of your collection. hope you are feeling a lot better, mate, and back to playing (and teaching) very soon. A most happy Xmas to you and your wife and family - and thank you so much for your great lessons. From a 65 yr old Australian.

[@kathy12234]

Beautiful collection! Best Wishes for You today and always The Pink Floyd is a nice touch..i can imagine hearing you play it. 🌲🎸🎶

[@Lewis1115]

Very beautiful guitars, especially those acoustics and that colourful strat.

[@mchaelhron279]

Thanks for the tour. Very nice. Things have changed up a bit since the Privettricker days. Wishing you a very healthy New Year.

[@69indian70]

Fabulous collection. The first 4 or 5 years of the millennium seem to have been a good time for your guitar acquisition. Thanks for all those great lessons. Best wishes for a healthy New Year.

[@lawrencemaxwell6536]

i wish a speedy recovery for you..... there are so many people that you have touched and i know they are all pulling for you.... all the shirts you used in your videos past that were tied to the many songs you gave us... they were just as wonderful as the guitars you played for all those songs for all of us.... i would still watch you teach us on a five string 2x4 as long as was in tune

[@pcbullets8726]

Thanks for sharing your collection with us. Some real nice guitars for sure. I have the same thing going on as well, too many guitars collecting dust. Been contemplating getting rid of a few of mine that would be better served in someone's hands getting played. Good luck in your recovery and God bless.

[@JeffreyVG15]

Hope you are doing well. Since I have discovered you I have learned so much because I grew up in the 70's seeing all the greats in Atlanta.The open G was a real door opener Cant wait till you return.

[@rayclark483]

Awesome guitar collection

[@rnarizona9686]

Thanks for sharing your collection with us. I look forward to watching you play this instruments again. All the best.

[@christophernelson5481]

James I Hope you’re feeling better !!! Beautiful collection and Thankyou for taking the time making these videos you’ve really helped me and countless others learn so many songs over the years !!! Get well soon ,Chris

[@JKFlaker]

Thanks for the tour! I've got the poor man's (Epiphone) version of the j200. It's a favorite of mine. Get well soon! Thanks for all of your videos. You've inspired a lot of people.

[@davidkastin4240]

Thanks for sharing. I collect guitars also and love to see other guitar collections. Every guitar has a nostalgic story that I enjoy hearing. I have 25 guitars and still say " You can never have too many" I just had major surgery 2 days ago and can barely lift my lightest guitar. Here's to hoping we both have a good recovery. Thank god for modern medical technology

[@toastoftown6404]

Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us. After the many many years of you creating fun and happiness with your guitar , I can’t help but consider you a friend or at least a kindred spirit. Big love to you and your family for new year. Feel better. Get strong

[@jimmccrae8694]

Looking forward to when you are fit to begin lessons again. All the best, have a good Christmas and a happy new year! Jim in Scotland

Great collection !!!!!

[@slowlearner4721]

And I thought I had a chronic case of G.A.S. (guitar acquisition syndrome)!!!!! Simply beautiful collection. Many thanks for all your videos. Like many others, they've helped me enormously (the guitar his a frustratingly harsh mistress at times). Hope all is well with you and you're on the mend. Sending positive vibes from the U.K.

[@BlindTom61]

Never too many James. You have what some of us call a "starter kit." :- ) Be well, God Bless and Merry Christmas. Smiles...

[@joegagliardi9066]

I enjoy every one of your videos, so get well and keep posting. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year.

[@93Terp]

Hi James, Appreciate your lessons and nice guitar collection! The control panel on your Conrad is actually from an old Harmony Rebel guitar. I have a Rebel as my first electric guitar that my parents bought me and the controls are the same. As far as I know that is the only Harmony with that style of controls. All the best!

[@NJTNYP]

Fantastic JJ, love the update and of course the fact you are heeling well. My collection numbers 9. Blonde Gibson L6 1974 with a humbucker I added when I was 16 (my first love named “Brenda” for the same reason), 1982 Yamaha J 200 nock off. Great action and very playable but not great sounding. Never learned to play very well and stopped for several years but picked them back up again in 1999. Played solid for a year and decided to get my hearts desire for my 40th, Gibson LP Custom Black Beauty (“Leslie”), 2003 American Standard Black & white rosewood fret board Strat (“Sarah”). For our 30th (2012) the wife got the bling and she let me pick out 3. First choice...? Maple J200😂 (“Marilyn”, big buxom blonde😁). Not just because of you but I remember my very pretty grade 2 teacher playing us songs on a big beautiful blonde acoustic. 2nd ES355 BB King Lucille (Love BB). 3rd was the plain mahogany Martin 00M15 ( “Coco”, because the smell of mahogany reminds me of coco and her beautiful dark brownish red mat finish. 2014 finally got a tele(“Kelly). Blonde Keef reissue with the full humbucker neck pick up and my first maple fret board. This year “Rose” finally arrived. Ordered her in June 2017 and she arrived in Oct. Guild 512e rosewood back and sides. I was very worried because after I ordered it I learned about the financial and manufacturing problems Guild had over the last decade plus (manufacturing plants and locations look like a CSI map lol) but once I got it I was thrilled. Can’t tell you how much you have done for me and my playing. Hope you have a great holiday with family and friends and continue to heal up. Cheers!

[@jimblackwell8762]

Merry Christmas from South Carolina Will keep you in my prayers Play for us soon!

[@danteboboa8385]

Wishing you Health and Happiness, James James. You've helped me a great deal. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@sarobinson56]

Your collection clip here gave me pleasure, JJ...'the wife, the dog and the J200..' made me laugh. Rock on buddy
