The alman bro.etc it's all good my friend!!

[@jrpipik]

On the day this song doesn't make me feel good, I will know that I am finally dead inside.

[@TonyHickschick]

The true fans understand how you feel and I know there are many of them, like me.

[@Kachunk673]

I appreciate every lesson you provide. I know you know your music if you wearing that shirt. Been there many many times. Grew up near New Orleans.

[@thommyers3080]

[@slowhorse]

Never let the short comings of others get in your way. Keep making yourself happy.

[@Elicid1965]

Dude! I LOVE your videos! You play the stuff straight forward and with no BS. I USE your videos every week to pick up new tunes I need to learn(I am a pro player, I play out 4-5 nights a week) and your stuff is guaranteed to teach me the meat & potatos of every song every time. I know the dicks on KZbin are a pain in the ass but please keep going. I rely on your 'to the point' tutorials! I am literally watching this right now so I can go play this song live in about half an hour! LOl. Because of YOU....I'll be able to pull it off! Thank you!

[@jotruck8581]

You're so good and so very helpful. Thank you.

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

I'd like to request that you keep having fun showing us the way on these great songs. You seem to have the same love for the instrument and for the music that I do and that my friend is why I tune in. Nothing better than playing a great song on a great sounding instrument. Thanks for all the fun years

[@milankotevski1663]

I like this song. I play the lead part every now and then.

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

My big thing is rhythm guitar i can sit and play all day long into the night like you are playing Jessica and blue sky etc i love rhythm and it is all I can play!!

[@kentcraig5718]

Love this! Thank you ♥️

[@robertdowney970]

First time listening to you... THANKS! I'm a 70+ yr old Allmans fan. Love to play for my enjoyment and your tutorial was a welcome addition to my "how to's". Play what gives you pleasure! Thanks again.

[@christianhenry9391]

Thank you so much! I've searched everywhere for this, and you'll find 100 videos on the lead guitar for Jessica, but NONE for this.

[@PhilFeedback]

Really nice work my friend! 👍

[@richardedmunds7307]

I disagree with your comment that "there are better guitar players and teachers out there". In my opinion YOU are the best thing going for any guitar player. I think you are awesome and I'm grateful for all your work, which has helped me tremendously. Can't thank you enough.

[@jameshicks5738]

Please, PLAY WHAT YOU WANT!!! ;0) It's always great! And don't let 'em get you down. for every uncouth word, there are a 100 people learning and groving on what you share. BRAVO!

[@jamesdavis5096]

This is exactly what I was searching KZbin for. This acoustic guitar gets blended in the mix so well that is very difficult to hear what they're doing this explains a lot. My father was a professional studio drummer and I can remember the discovery of acoustic guitar it was Glen Campbell and I remember asking the question so all you can hear is just a strumming part are the clicking part you can't really hear the the tones thus learning that the acoustic guitar is it is a rhythm instrument

[@zolar55]

I just appreciate your effort....have learned tons from you.....play what you like....no requests from me......thanx

[@samspade1841]

Hey ya all! Love your straight up videos. Don’t let the haters wreck your day. Love your stuff!

Really appreciate the effort you put forward. I've learned alot, and hope to learn more.

[@whyyeseyec]

This is a great song to play while riding down a country road in a convertible on a warm summer day....

[@gregoryjulian1333]

Thanks for playing what you like to play! Great job on doing what you do! 🎶🎸👍🏼🇺🇸😎

[@purplecowideal]

Glad I found this.

[@Valerifon1]

Dude that was great! THANK YOU for sharing. Play whatever you want - its greatly appreciated! Cheers - Luther

[@denlabz2992]

Nice! Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Heard it and wanted to learn it.

[@John-vq7ek]

[@non-sequitur]

This is great. In my head, this is much more complicated, it's nice to see this with an up close view. Also, keep doing whatever you want, disregard stupid comments!

[@motorclaw]

Thanks for all your videos! Rock on, and screw the rest of em'!

[@TopCatOadby]

For what it's worth........it's worth a lot, I love your channel!

[@DougWittrock]

Your channel, your rules. I like what you play and look forward to hearing/seeing more of what you like.

[@jbshc00]

I enjoy watching and learning. I made requests on your old PT channel, but decided I was wearing out my welcome. PS, bought a honey burst LP, running it through a Marshall DSL 15, and learning the intro to SIBLY off of LZ3, having a blast learning.

[@babbalouie3074]

Learned Jessica note for note right after it was released. Always played it in three piece bands. Never gave much thought to the rhythm guitar part. Always listened more for the B-3. Much over do respect for Less Dudek. Know he played the acoustic intro. Assuming he played the entire rhythm track as well? Thanks for the info. Also watched your video of you grilling your wife about her knowing your guitars. Such a task master you are. Lucky she has a good sense of humor. My wife would have smacked me in the head with one of them about the second or third guitar into it. Who knows in 30 years when you reach our age...maybe she will! LOL

[@matthewmcguire5217]

Please play whatever makes you happy!

[@greggtaylor6830]

Play what you want. Look forward to hearing

[@michaelohlstein1894]

This is old enough that hopefully..... no one will see it but you. i just wanted to thank you for all of your great videos, and to mention that due in some part to your instruction, I was inspired to seek out a local teacher. I've been taking theory/standard/slide guitar lessons for nearly a year now. It's going pretty well. I'm actually playing in an Allman Brothers cover band, a Grateful Dead cover band, and an acoustic Americana band. I'm not sure if links are allowed in these posts, but I'll try to post another comment with a soundcloud clip. Thanks again for all of your hard work and generosity. Mike

You are a good man. Thanks! That was smoking! I needed help and you really came through,thank you again.

[@brbadge]

Thank you! I enjoyed that!

[@imannonymous7707]

I totally get playing requests. If you dont feel something for a song , then its forced and unreal...as unreal as somebody demanding something from an artist , especially one as generous as youve been to us....thanks for this lesson, i needed a leg up

[@kohlbustamante9264]

Tonight, James plays whatever he wants, the fans give him nothing but praise, and I gush over that beautiful SJ-200

[@TheHandsomeCow_]

Hey, I'm sorry that the only other comment I've left was a request but I still love all your videos! Watching your videos has really helped me improve a lot. So thank you very much!

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

Hi James James, I have been listening to the greatest hits alman brothers 12 songs I am not sure now if it's little martha that i heard picking and strumming its on the same album I believe you followed and picked up Jessica from.

[@chadkcmo]

Best teacher ever!!

[@vmodug01]

Just keep playing. You're awesome!

[@jamespinder6465]

Love your vids, love the way you seem to figure out all the chords, the T shirts are great. I have watched you progress since the first Beatle tracks you put on the web (which helped me a lot} and the ups and downs you have been through, keep it up and just do what you do because you do it great.

[@Reverendpete71]

Les Dudek played acoustic on Jessica. Not an official member of the Allmans, but was on a couple of songs on Brothers and Sisters.

[@jamesjames9275]

Co-wrote it, though he didn’t get credit.

[@charlessanders935]

I request that you please don't stop.

[@steverorie]

YOUR THE BEST

[@Jubilo1]

Your outstanding and generous contributions are most welcome.

[@GTrules123]

Sucks that people nag you for requests. I love your channels, they have helped me learn so many more songs and become a lot better player. Keep doing what you do

[@conirish2004]

Really enjoy your channel, Play what makes you feel happy, if people dont care, that is their problem. keep posting away...

[@PulauSwan]

There's someone out there. I've been on Ramblin' man for a week or so. Thought about Jessica, knowing that I didn't know the rhythm, except that it was probably key of A . I dare not request anything, but u played two songs with thecsame guitar, no change T shirt WTF . Thanks mate

[@la196]

It's true to not get caught up in all the request stuff, which makes the fun and relaxation become WORK. Thats no good for sure. Great tune, great cover, and I've mentioned it several times before but that J-200 is my "fav". She stands out very nicely in this video. Well done:)

[@hassanahmed1014]

Tonight on Top gear James James is playing our Theme tune Jessica Allman brothers here he is

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

Seven turns is a good song!!!

[@TheStratplayer76]

Keep playing Jimi, I appreciate what you do 👍🏻

[@OutBoardTink62]

I read somewhere that it was Tommy Talton who played the acoustic guitar intro and thruout the song unless that was wrong dont know.I know Les Dudek played the first clean guitar solo in Ramblin Man as Dickey tells him alright on the track just a bit of trivia and answer to what you said about who played the acoustic guitar.Glenn P. in N.Y.

[@joeherrjr]

Play what you like; OK, PLEASE play what you like.

[@KC3UVF]

Don't let the ill mannered, unwashed masses get to you my man. Do what you wanna do, when you wanna do it, and keep on rocking. It's your channel. There really is no other way.

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

Soulshine, blue sky, jessica, midnight rambler, rambling man, stormy Monday, sweet melissa, little Martha, whipping post, midnight rider, seven turns , not my cross to bear

[@cali420king]

Sorry brotha, I did ask you for a lesson a little bit ago on another video. Totally get it. My job often makes me feel like a performing seal and it gets testy fast lol. I did ask for a song on Jackson Browne The Road as its just such a cool song would love to do it around a camp fire or something. But totally get that you may not want to do a lesson for it. No worries. I love spending a day on your videos. My fingers dont like it so much, but my skill levels do lol. Thanks for all you do.

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

This whole album is killer

[@larrypower8659]

Les Dudek was the other guitar player on this recording. He’s probably playing the acoustic. Les also plays all of the harmony lines with Dickey Betts. He claims ownership of the basic melody and arrangement of Jessica, though was not credited as a composer. Les is all over this recording and he deserves a lion’s share of credit for his contributions to what many consider the Allman Brothers (and Dickey Betts) greatest instrumental. I’ll take Liz Reed, but … that’s just me.

[@bsquared61]

Thanks for sharing & Jam ON!

[@tamiobrien1113]

Your playing it right so YES YOU AER PLAYING IT DIFFRENT!!!

[@EclecticHillbilly]

Interesting trivia (hopefully anyway), this song was named for Dickey's daughter Jessica..........who is now 42 years old (man I feel old)

[@jrpipik]

+EclecticHillbilly It doesn't matter how many million times I've heard this song, I could never remember the name. Now maybe I will. Thanks!

[@Teleman73]

Nice job on the Les Dudek acoustic parts.

[@Rubemurray]

Brilliant

[@tefenstrat]

James, I've said it before, you just have an easy way about you that makes your videos fun to watch and learn from. So just think about all the positive comments and don't let one stupid comment get to you. Hey if I can just add something to this video, I think people will like this. There is a cool little intro to the Rhythm playing in the song. it goes like this... the first note being an E on the bottom string. 6/0, 6/3, 6/5, 5/0...play that quickly then start the rythem playing just the way you showed it.

[@SandflyMan]

Thankyou.

[@strummer1230]

play what you want ignore the trolls. You're the best.

[@deanmccaskill5495]

Finally one I already know. You were making me pretty insecure for a long time now. JK. Love this song

[@Jubilo1]

And...thank you!

[@rocknhouse7]

I thought it would be more complicated. Good job teach

[@BritPopLivesOn72]

[@johnraia6699]

where did you get the warehouse jersy. i live in new orleans and the warehouse was our venue in the 60s & 70s

[@jamesjames9275]

It’s actually home made.

[@davemiller3345]

I didn't request this , but I enjoyed it ! Thanks posting ...All the parts to a song are important, and the rhythm guitar seems boring to some , but without it the song just isn't the same

[@tammym.obrien.9228]

Yeah i really like seven turns.

[@southpaw1959channel]

Impossible to have a bad day after hearing this song! Do you go lighter than 13's ever on your J-200? Thanks for the post!

[@samCLauser]

Just to let you know - your channel definitely makes me happy! Sorry you have to put up with so much crap but love what you do.

[@whitakerleather]

Nice!
