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

[@TheWingus]

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!

[@EZGrace]

James just makes the world a better place.

[@robertball9009]

I’ve always thought James Taylor was absolute perfection.

[@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?

[@freddytrinidad3155]

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

[@writereducator]

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

[@jeffPATS22]

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

[@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]

[@jackieguccione94]

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!

[@johnnyinnftmyers]

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]

[@jsigur157]

That qualifies you for "next president"

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.

[@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.

[@livelife365]

that last song got me...damn you, JT!

[@camiloespinazo]

He's one of the greatest ever

[@charlieg1337]

Such a treasure...

[@TripleDeano]

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

[@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!

[@MikkoMikkonen]

Beautiful

[@ErikF]

Amazing guitar player. What a pro!
