Sorry about the wait between the last couple of uploads, I'm spending a lot of my time at the moment looking after our new puppy! The next couple of videos might be simpler arrangements up until he stops chewing everything he can find!

[@Justin-vo7sg]

James Bartholomew its ok✌ but you play like a pro 👀

[@andytaylor248]

Just don't let him get the guitars 😂

[@Saphyu]

I got a new puppy too! Shes taking up all my time so I get it :(!

[@1962yuichi]

James Bartholomew い

[@cjpv7574]

will it be okay to use your music for song covers? love singing to your music! will surely mention you on credits, please?

[@walterfingerstyle]

“Less is More” The beauty of simplicity. This is gorgeous brother, really beautiful, elegant arrangement! Your puppy 🐶 is influencing you in the best possible way :-) All best, my friend!

[@dokkrokket8692]

Man I’ve played guitar for years started when I was 14 and I’m 52 now and I never never ever ever ever could get it sound as good as you play I take my hat off to you and I salute you keep up the great music

[@yourkurtosis5568]

Such a calming song .

[@Titus213-xc7pi]

💙He killed it when he started fading at the end and kept on going! Uniqueness different type of thinking at 100Mill swaggedout 💯 💜

[@UnorthodoxMiscellaneousVideos]

I wish someday I will play like this 😭

[@JokerGaming-fm7oh]

Fighting bro

[@denilyum2870]

Of course u will don't give up

[@UnorthodoxMiscellaneousVideos]

@@denilyum2870 Thanks a lot for your motivation mate! Cheers!

[@CLAVERIALAURENCECLYDED_A]

It takes time bro just practice

[@mikeryan6277]

Keep the guitar out, where you see it constantly and it will call to you.

[@mikemcgee3493]

I grew up with this song and The Police in high school. One of my favorites. And your rendition really nails the soul of it. I even hear a couple momentary echos of Michael Hedges type dissonance which are sublime. Really well done!

[@AdrianHernandez-sj5qv]

Perfect! I'm an english teacher at elementary school and I always play your songs for them.

[@bartolbanic3389]

A magnificient arrangement of a truly classic song. The elegance with which you play is unmatched. The music is flowing gently. Wonderful.

[@bruceboome]

Super smart to tune down to D and use the capo, keeping to the original key, yet making the stretches just that little easier. Guitar sounds lovely, Great job.

[@alexis4439]

Why is this soooo beautiful on acoustic I love it so much

[@DomoniqueStewart3936]

EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE EVERY BOND YOU BREAK EVERY STEP YOU TAKE I'LL BE WATCHIN' YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY EVERY WORD YOU SAY EVERY GAME YOU PLAY EVERY NIGHT YOU STAY I'LL BE WATCHIN' YOU.....

[@WatersAbove77]

Always thought this song was kinda creepy lmao

[@ledabasile112]

Gorgeous! You really captured the delicacy of the song, I'm so impressed.

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Thanks Leda!

[@fusionz06]

The warmth, the simplicity, terrific!

[@gilterra1465]

Just amazing! Congratulations! You did a good job!

[@tatoedonmymind]

Super clear. No messy

[@1991Argentino]

The E string is tuned a semitone up...That`s why sounds diferent. You are welcome.

[@titoniciasg.t.dasilva7115]

High or low e?

[@franciscotosca8735]

Who of them?

[@martingarcia9533]

Semitone down, normally u play E string on the 3rd fret he is playing at 4rd fret hehe

[@christopherhaberer9403]

Maximiliano Ferradás was wondering if it was drop d but it’s half step down thanks bud

[@anirbanghose8647]

The original song is played in half step down tune (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

[@RecraftedS]

simply beautiful... 🥲

[@adrijanag4632]

This sounds so peaceful 😌😌

[@Grymp2023]

Simple yet beautiful. Better for beginners . Keep up sir

[@reginaldoassuncao9485]

Bravo! God bless you

[@giselahansel7667]

Einfach nur unglaublich schön!

[@TheBeatle49]

Love how you detune your 6th string to make the bridge sound good.

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Sting is genius! This cover is awesome and great!

[@chichiri829]

[@meretetoftjensen6086]

[@dexterbarituaalisoso4580]

Merete Toft Jensen ❤️😍

[@day_aoliveira]

Que lindo 🧡

[@JulioSilva-mt4rw]

BEAUTIFULL

[@yourdailymusic6906]

That's beautiful dude!

[@freeman7079]

This guitar part is already hard enough, at least the chord shapes are hard for me! You’re a mad man!

[@TheBeatle49]

He has tune his 6th string down a half-step.

[@andymjflemming]

Beautifully done. I can't believe some people feel the need to give this the thumbs down.

[@asddsa9]

Nice tuning trick!

[@jordanchandler6642]

Hey man you're absolutley outstanding! I was hoping you could share with me any tips you have on tabbing these songs? I'm relatively new to guitar and It would be brilliant if I had a bit of help tabbing some fan favourites

[@sionett]

Gracias!!! Es justo lo que necesitaba para cantarla en mi tono ❤️

[@shafrazazeez366]

Great Job Man. Simply amazing 💕

[@JRCMProductions]

One of my fave songs just got a notch higher than before when I heard you played this!

[@MCTVRAP]

Thank you for this ❤️

[@Northyorkspaul]

Fantastic

[@leandroabreuofficial]

Simplesmente fantástico!!! ❤

[@neonn9674]

Dam that guitar. So gorgeous

[@TheBuinitzky]

Perfect! What Guitar Do You Use?

[@keymaster2108]

Seen this a few times. Very good

[@EnzoLouis]

Fantastic work man! I agree, dogs can really take a guitarist out of his/her focus 😂❤️

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

He requires pretty much constant watching unless he's sleeping after being exercised, and I'm the one at home Monday to Friday haha

[@EnzoLouis]

Hey, my dog (a mix of chihuahua and some breed) hates me... So you’re in a much better state! 😭

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Ah chihuahua's are feisty haha. I used to be scared of Archie when he was a pup, he used to bite me a lot when he was teething and I was too young to deal with him. He turned out lovely so I'm sure we'll be through this stage soon!

[@EnzoLouis]

Good for you man! You should definitely do another “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” cover feauturing Archie! btw my dog’s name is Coco!

[@SirGBS]

Very smart tuning ... this E flat bass string. Well done !

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

Haha yupp... It was bugging me having to go up an octave for the Eb chord. I thought I'd give it a go and surprisingly it caused no issues tuning down to Eb!

[@satishgurao8340]

Awesome man...

[@s.samanthaa._]

So good !! ❤

[@rippled_mick4664]

your the man brother, love it

[@jerrynunie1804]

could you potentially do a rendition of "we're going to be friends" by the white stripes? i feel that it is a great song for fingerstyle! simplistic and emotional

[@nic1208]

Amazing!! You’ve got some serious skills

[@jhonnysilva6238]

A melhor versão que ja ouvi até hoje.... Show....

[@李珮妤-z7o]
