Mrs. James James Answers My Questions

[@boomerdell]

Mrs. James’ “Hey, all!” is already legendary as far as I’m concerned. 😊

[@kevindrago2701]

Same! LOVE Mrs. James James

[@jimyvick1]

Thank you both for being incredibly generous with your time and talents! I truly miss the both of you and wish you the absolute very best of everything, always!!!!

[@joshuamartinez56]

Tricker is so humble, he stays under the radar and teaches people without the intention. Unless he makes a lesson video he’s a modern day hero!!!!

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Another Privettricker Channel! This guy is a faceless guitar legend on youtube. He has hundreds of videos seamlessly cranking out songs just to show you how to do it right. Goes in an out, no talking and no ego, and whabang done. I actually noticed the James James channel today because I've watched soooooo many videos that I recognized this guys *hands* in a thumbnail on the side of a Breeders video I was watching, lol! Glad to see happy marriage on display in this video. Good content, good humans here. Really a lot of music fairy dust falls off these two. Sweet Gretsch, by the way ;)

[@jimmyhaynes8298]

Thank you! I haver never commented before on your videos. However I just wanted to say you two are awesome! It's so cool to watch and hear two people who really enjoy being with each other, laughing at each other, picking at each other. It really made my Saturday. I really mean it. Thank you! Also Mr. James. Thank you for your great guitar work and details. Regards, Jimmy James

[@jts3339]

If your taste in women is as good as your taste in guitars, your wife is a classic beauty. Cheers to your beautiful family and thank you for a sweet and enjoyable video.

James you are a blessed man! Your wife sounds lovely and a nurse! Wow! It’s great that she supports your guitar! I am praying for your speedy recovery! Thanks for all your guitar videos learn a lot from them!

[@Spaceman800]

You two are so adorable!!. My fiance is in NY with her family and you made me miss her so much... Keep doing what you do and I hope you get better James. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨

It's good to see a comment of someone from Ecuador, Greetings from Quito!

[@SuperShawn2020]

It’s a luxury to have a great wife. Happy for you my guitar slinging friend.

[@RainnAxiss]

James I just want to thank you for all the videos you have put out. Learning songs through you has helped me progress in guitar and also use my ear more like you.

[@carlosprex]

I traveled 8 hours the night before to attend the 1995 Plant & Page concert in México City,. That morning I was walking around in the city doing time and excited because that night I was going to see them in concert, when suddenly a limo parked just in front of me and from the back door gets out Jimmy Page. I just walked about 5 steps more to extend my hand and shake his hand. I told him "i traveled 8 hours last night to attend the concert tonite" we both talked for a while and walked into the Mercado de Artesanias. It was fantastic to me have been able to tell him how much I´ve enjoyed and admired his work.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

I'm a huge fan of your husband, and very appreciative of his time and work that he puts into his videos. I had already told him earlier, that I would gladly give my two feet to have half the talent he has. I remember, in one of his older videos, him telling everybody that he used to tour quite a bit with various bands of his. You have a good catch in your husband. Supertalented, selfless and very giving of his talent and time to help other guitar players, with an amazing musical ear and talented playing. They have guitar players on You Tube, that don't half of your husbands talent, that are cocky. There is no reason for anybody, no matter how talented they are, to act like that, which is why your husband has many people that love his super talented playing and musical ear. I admire the hell out of your husband's playing, playing form, and musical ear. Are y'all from the South? Just curious, because I live in New Orleans, La, and we use the word Y'all alot. Just a contraction for You All, rather than you guys, or youse guys. Lol

[@bcc172]

I am way older than you James , you have helped me through many songs !! Can’t play with thumb like you, simply isn’t long enough. When will I get to see your face and your misses ? You guys are awesome.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

I believe he cannot show his face because he is the Unknown Guitar Hero. He may be either Buckethead or TheDoo, just trying to live a normal life as our neighbor without getting mobbed by fans at the Piggly Wiggly.

[@nixon9346]

​@@_Yep_Yep_he showed his face for a second but i forgot which song

[@stevenjones6780]

You two remind me of my marriage- I'm happy and fortunate to say...😍 I think Mrs JJ is such a sweet soul and caregiver that she doesn't really need labels or names- she sees straight thru to the heart...

[@jamessator5564]

Get to feeling better soon JJ ! I’m 52 and I have serious pain in my shoulders from the wear and tear being in the trucking business ! Of all the guitar guys I watch I have the most respect for you !

[@midrider335]

Completely agree James- Duane to me was the greatest improvisational genius on guitar of all time.

[@deedubslite]

Of course we care what you think! You're half of the greatest headless couple out there! Stay save... Be Happy! Have fun!

[@backtoshallabal6662]

I like how you have a great and sarcastic relationship with your wife! She is very nice and sweet.

[@GuitarGeorge55]

This was fun, thanks Mrs James James for being such a good sport! My wife (correctly) picked my J-45 as her favourite of my guitars - don't have nearly as many and certainly none as cool as yours - but I do have a wife that understands the madness ;) Hope your recovery is going well. Cheers.

Thank you James James Gang- just stumbled upon this one. Clapton - talented, as a mimic... like wow, that is awesome and spot on! Totally agree on James James' top 3 guitarists as well!

[@tonelok]

Missing these two and James James in particular, and came back to this video. I'd accidentally left the playback speed on .5 after trying to decipher a tricky lick in another video. Makes for a whole different experience with this one 😆

Love you guys. You seem to have a wonderful life together.

[@crappocrappoproductions-ak9403]

You guys are hilarious. Godspeed for a full recovery.

[@rodmcdonough6111]

I get in this relaxed and fuzzy/comfy kind of mode listening to you guys and watching the mid sections of "The King and Queen of my Small Screen" Don't know how you can resist holding those guitars, but its only temporary and you're doing the right thing for your arm. Take care!

[@ericjudges7856]

Loved that Jon Anderson your. I felt the same, just amazing. Love when the Mrs. is involved.

[@attaboy95425]

That was grand. The way you play off each other is so much fun. Thanks again for everything you do. Take care of the arm. look forward to seeing you soon. M

[@tomjones9935]

I saw Page and Plant on that 98 Tour in Denver. I was managing a blues club at the time, and had a guy named Lionel Young hosting our blues jam on Sunday nights. Lionel was and is a GREAT violin player. We show up to the concert, and lo and behold, Lionel is part of a 3 piece string ensemble backing up Page and Plant. Great show and one of my personal all time faves as well.

[@paulsammax]

Thank you for this. I love your videos! I saw Joy Division once and new order around 20 times and also PIL a fair few times too. But I’m in the UK. James - you have improved my guitar playing no end. Mrs James - thank you for putting up with him and indulging him.

[@fessfikkle]

Mrs James James is super cool. Really enjoyed listening to you both laugh together, so cool.

Yay!!! My favorite James James videos! Nice to "see" you again, Lovely Assistant! Streaming life at the JJ household, do it! Please, oh please... First concert: Beastie Boys opening for RUN DMC, June 15, 1987. First album I bought: Huey Lewis & the News, Sports.

Seeing Roger Waters over Bruce Springsteen was 💯% the correct choice.

Best lesson I ever got (of any kind) was from an oboe player. He said, "There is no perfect gliss."

Get well my friend. Now that Mrs. James James let the cat out of the bag about your car habit, don’t think we haven’t noticed the various automotive shirts, the Porsche shirt being my personal favorite, and the Superbird model in the background. As a fellow guitarist and car enthusiast, please enlighten us on your automotive interests, and maybe a few cars from the past. Thanks for what you do. I’ve learned a great deal from you. Thanks again

[@larrykendall317]

Thanks I enjoyed the conversation. I especially liked the comment about the Jon Anderson acoustic show. I also enjoyed your acoustic Starship Trooper version from your Privettricker days. I still want to learn it I just can't figure out the tuning. I hope the should is feeling better and thanks again for the channel.

[@stephanehuibonhoa2996]

Yes, I would love to hear more of your views on classic rock and guitarists.

[@kakman1958]

Great video, Mrs James James sounds awesome. You're a lucky man and the connection between you two is obvious.

[@BX2PA]

No mention of : Alvin Lee, Terry Kath, Ritchie Blackmore, Don Felder, Leslie West, Duane Allman, Tony Iommi, Johnny Winter,

[@jamesjames9275]

The question was to name 3. And Duane is mentioned prominently.

[@davidthomas5035]

What a charming lady! When you said "A very brief career" I thought you might go for Terry Kath for top rock guitarists.

[@ALLENGERHYTHM]

Eclectic classic taste in such a young soul... wait, could be like me from this era of music and in need of wing repair.

[@LightningDogg]

11:25 Aaahhhh my ears are burning!! Sorry you 2 youngsters but by the time you heard Clapton he was set as a radio pop star. In the 60's and 70's he turned guitar on its ear as far as I'm concerned. He's a good singer, great song writer and great guitar player. Think of the first time you heard SRV and how different he was. Now he has 1000 clones and I can hardly listen to the original. But EC is still on my playlist. Cream, Beano, Blind Faith, EC, 461 Ocean Blvd, Derek & Dominos, on the White Album, etc etc etc.

[@jamesjames9275]

Well, I did say "There was a time..." :)

Thats a good first concert mine was suzie q when i was a kid with my parents it was 1973.

[@johnwilm1]

I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time. I think I remember in one video you said that you started out making videos for your brother. That’s what the trigger was for me. My little brother used to make me little cheater videos of songs that I was struggling to learn. I picked up on the WNY heritage a long time ago my brother. I’m from Fredonia and after living in NC for 25 year - moved back. I also have the exact same HOG shirt that you wear sometimes. Your an awesome dude with a good ear. Your gear is all top notch. Your wife is charming and sweet. I remember a video that she had to identify some of your favorite guitars. I recall she did well. Cheers to you and the lovely Mrs. JJ. Keep up the great videos. Heal up soon. And never let some of the internet trolls get you down man. There are always turds out there. Hehe.

Cream's first album and the "Beano " album were Clapton's finest hour. No one sounded like him then or since.

[@frommetoyou4401]

@David Corbett - I also mention that LP to be among the "Bibles" for blues-rock lead guitarists, Beck's "Truth" is another. Learn all the licks from those LP's and you'd be "In Like Flint" What would be another LP that you would recommend?

I saw Eric Clapton last night in Tampa, and the concert was awesome! The arena was sold out, and the enthusiasm was tremendous. His band is excellent, but it IS his playing that people come to see and hear. His tone and emotive phrasing are fantastic. If you are filling arenas at 76 years-old, you must be doing something right. He also played some new songs, and those sounded amazing as well. Cheers!

[@jamesjames9275]

I’m not a fan of his. I’m happy that other people enjoy his music. My opinion shouldn’t matter to anyone.

[@truthstillmatters59]

Clapton may be predictable in the same way B.B. King was predictable, but he is a damn good guitar player in my opinion.

[@briantaylor2.023]

I was at that concert too! Fantastic concert---just shocked that he came and left so abruptly without him or any of the other band members introducing themselves or saying anything to the crowd haha.
