My dad has just recently left my siblings and our mom. He was a musician and would practice Guitar all the time, and it would eco through our house. I loved it. Now our house is quiet. So I listen to this and pretend it’s him sitting in his office, peacefully strumming his guitar. Update: I dont know if anyone will see this. But i wanted to leave an update for all you lovely people who have wished me and my family the best. Its has been four years since my father has left. It was hard, our relationship was very rocky but I am happy to say that we have reconnected. And he will be playing at my wedding in April. Blessing can be found in the darkest times. And i wanted to thank all of you who took the time to leave your love.

My father passed a few years back. At the time, it didn't hurt as much, maybe I ignored the pain or maybe I was trying to be a tough and edgy teenager. But I look back on it and even though there was a lot of rough, there are things I miss about him, especially when he would play his Guitar. Its been with me for the last few years gathering dust, but I've made the decision to learn it. For the memories.

I love it when i’m sitting comfortably with my guitar on my thigh, eyes closed and just playing random stuff on my guitar. I usually let my hands carry me away through some world full of music. Sometimes i recognise a part of another song and sometimes it just doesn’t fit. Somehow at those moments i feel the most relaxed in my whole day.

[@averyander4977]

I totally see where you’re coming from. But for me I feel like I’m giving up on singing. I have been so passionate about it but I just can’t seem to be happy with my voice. I’ve always had a weird relationship with my voice. Sometimes I Like it and sometimes I can’t stop hating it. But with guitar, I don’t say I’m bad it it. I say I’m excited to improve. I don’t want to give up though.

[@Kylemathews1]

Yeah I told another guitarist at my work who sings that I can't sing for shit. He said "anybody can sing, you just gotta find your pitch". Idk I don't think i'll ever have a great voice but what i've been able to do, is match the tone of the guitar. Try humming or singing without words at first and just match the notes with the guitar..you'll hear when it goes together and you'll know that sounds good just by the mere fact it harmonizing with the guitar

Here are some of what I believe to be the most beautiful songs in the world! Which songs would you choose? And before you comment, yes I know Where is my Mind is written by Pixies. But it's Maxence Cyrin's version that my arrangement is based on as that is particularly beautiful. The same with regards to Mad World which is written by Tears for Fears, but it's Gary Jules' version which I consider to be the most beautiful version of the song.

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

Ok James , I have to ask. Do any of your instructors/professors know you have half a million subs ? For some reason I see you sitting in a lecturer with an instructor who kinda feels uncomfortable teaching you anything music related. It makes me laugh. You are killing it man . Keep up the amazing wonderful work.

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

Oh and my choice , a thousand years , and Coldplay scientist. The scientist song is heart wrenching . I typically prefer your version and I sing along . It's far more crushing than the original. Last choice is John legend and Lindsey Sterling, All of You. I guess I'm a sucker for emotional songs.

This is the most beautiful version of to build a home that I've ever heard, even more than the original. But 2:17 is too short! Please make a full length version of that song.

[@Hah4-23-80]

literally two of my favorite songs, Mad world and Where is My Mind. Beautiful.

You do magic with your fingers and you make everyone's heart skip a beat.

Listening to you play is inspiring me to pick it back up again towards fingerstyle... Pieces like this are a major reason I got into playing to begin with... In all of the compositions I've played or listened to over the years, it is the beauty of what speaks to the soul and moves it to that grateful stillness within is what makes it all worth it... To capture a moment timelessly as we cast across the universe for this moment in time... To realize the beauty of existence in the feeling of all that is good... Keep the fire alive. Beautiful playing :) It's time to get back to the roots...

[@DanMaarRick]

Perfect audio + perfect playing. Wow man, so beautiful.

[@kourga453]

What a simply gorgeous tone. Thank you.

[@AcousticHive]

Before this pandemic, i used to listen to you on Spotify on my way to work and back home. Your peaceful arrangements reminds me to stay calm and just enjoy the music.

[@micahmoore1511]

This made me so emotional. I’m going through a lot right now, and this music spoke to me. Love this!

[@ryancormack6117]

One of the best things i have ever done with my life is teach myself to play the guitar. 20 years later, it still gives me goosebumps when i play

[@thecruellytrue1481]

You did it again! Perfect 👍🏻

[@lillybeee8865]

“ river flows in you” really have my feel

[@AK-ru3sg]

What an amazing talent you have James. That must take a lot of dedication and effort on your part. Respect to you. Hope you go far with it.

[@user-yo8tx4sv7c]

Awesome! Especially River flows in you

[@rcopterboy]

Always loved ‘where is my mind’, that guitar hit and theme throughout…I didn’t realise the subtle complexity behind it at all and am amazed. Thanks.

[@jordanirwin77]

I could listen to this everyday. So clean and crisp. Thank you!

[@DUK703]

That is the most beautiful arrangement of River Flows in You that I've heard on the guitar..

[@RyanCropper]

Agreed, do you know what that flicking technique is that he does during the song?

[@deadparrothead3175]

My List. 1. If you could read my mind.- Gorden Lightfoot 2. American Trilogy.- Elvis 3. Ave Maria.-Franz Schubert 4. Halleluiah.-Jeff Buckley (cover). 5.. Adagio for the strings.-Samuel Barber These are just off the top of my head. Your's Sir are beautiful! But, I guess we think of songs that strike a heart string. #1 Was a song I've never forgotten, when I was very little. The good old days! I heard it and it was like a switch going off! I was like this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! Has had me a music lover ever since. Now, makes me think of my mother who has advanced Alzheimers. I wish I could read her mind. #2 Just reminds me of our terrible Civil War, and my father who just passed away. When I hear the part about, you know your Daddy's bound to die. #3 My Grandfather's favorite song. #4 Hey, it's just beautiful! #5 Man, that part in the movie Platoon where Willem Dafoe gets killed. Get's to me everytime. Music can be a big part of our lives. And different songs mean different things to everybody.

to build a home is truly beautiful! so glad u chose this song !

[@kartikeye1765]

Love the tone of your guitar and your feel!

[@will-flint]

absolutely beautiful. It's actually really funny, but I started playing instruments YEARS ago, something I grew up with of sorts. This takes me way back to my early years as a young musician between bars, talent shows, and cafe's :)

[@abigailgabusi5773]

I want this on loop and never stops thank you
