Definitely my favourite artist, too underrated as well! You kept me playing my guitar when my world fell apart and I lost everything ,kept me sane lol👍
man, you are just UNBELIEVABLE. an artist for real. i don't know how to play anything at all (yet) but i watched every second cuz you deserve so much love for being such an amazing human. all my respect for you, mr. Bay, and please, keep teaching those lessons, the world needs it.
Just heard the beginning of this song on Instagram and I wanted to play it. I didn't know him and now I'm in love, the amount of talent that he has omg🥰 this is the first time listening to the whole song and the fact that is live damn made everything more perfect
I'm glad I found this three years late! Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to play this three years ago so I guess I found it just in time! Thanks for doing this, James. Very generous of you to share your talent this way.
So thankful you took the time to teach this song in so much detail. To make it worth your time, I’m not going to stop practicing until I play it as good as you.
Hey james from australia.what a musician u are.hold back the river is my fave mate.been listening to you for a while now..you are def my favourite singer of the modern era mate.your accoustc versions are second to none.im 49 years of age.im a truck driver.times are tough but your tunes put a smile on my face
I’m not a musician but I adore music and I’m a fan. This is one of my favorite songs. What a generous way share in these times. Thank you! Great and fascinating video. Looking forward to more,
You're so down to earth that you feel like all our best friends, even though you don't know us. THANK YOU. 🧡🙋🏼♀️💯😷 Lockdown is better for these streams. Gosh I'm crying now I'm so happy to hear this again.
Love YOU James, you've no idea how you and your music have touched the collective, you give so much love to this planet, and here you are giving again. I am so proud of you, and for you, you are the change helping the paradigm shift by example, you bad ax love warrior you! Helping to heal this planet with love, one song/guitar lesson at a time. love and all manner of good fortune, lori
I don't even know how to pickup a guitar, but you passion for music is so irresistible, that makes me feel so comfy about the learn how, to play one. Thanks, for the master class. I'll be waiting for the next one.❤
Hello brother James, it's so nice and amazing to enjoy this lesson with you and the people who love playing guitar and the songs you create. Thanks for that. Hello from Valencia-Spain. 😉🤙🏽☕
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving back home, with my kids. I didn´t know James at the time, but then I´ve made a research and found this song (among others), and heard all night long! Good memories! Good to have James to sing and play and now teach us how to play, altough I probably won´t, but, anyway...
The Space Between Us (one of my favourite movies) made me fall in love with this song which, ironically, made me fall in love with the movie. It gave it its magic and the intro riff immediately takes me to the open fields and their roadtrip.
James I saw you in Denver. I live in Florida and the closest you were coming was Atlanta Georgia. I wanted to see you so bad so I looked on your website and saw you were going to Denver.. I felt like it was fate. my best friend lives in Denver and you were visiting the week of both of our spring breaks. your show was the best night of my life. you're my favorite artist and I got to see you with my best friend. thanks your being you and for playing into my fate
Love you so much James 💜💜 If you see this comment I want to know, you and your songs change my life. Always proud of you ☘❤ Since 2014 My favs: Bad Let it go If you ever want to be in love Rescue Clocks go forward Break My Heart Right Pink Lemonade
Its crazy,,he starts of like your mate around tbe corner who,s a great guitar player then the voice comes in and you remember your listening to one of tbe biggest artists in the world singing massive hits while teaching ! Gotta love JB ❤
I listened to this songs for months and months every morning on my way to work. Felt a bit special morning. Just bought my first guitar ever. Hopefully I'll be able to play this, even if only the riff would be great.
i tell you want NOBODY on the industry is doing this, A true musician . Before the fame i followed you . from when we were in fire Which you should do next. but to clocks go forward. another classic,Move together, cmon man I'm in tune...anyways i played your songs at the beginning stage of my journey with the guit. thank you for this video i always wondered what it would actually sound like from you doin a tutorial. thank you truly . hopefully we can make a song together ...bless my guy
This might be just me, but i'm loving all these acoustic covers because my favourite hobby before all of this was jamming out with my music class when one person would play and we'd all join in separately, playing and singing along to each other in harmony. Honestly it was just the most wholesome thing ever. Due to covid-19 i don't know if i'll ever be going back again as i'm in my last year but all these acoustic sessions are bringing me so much comfort at the moment. Almost like sitting in the small music room where so many joyful memories are made.
I wouldn't dare even attempt 2 do this... those lyrics are so powerful & after listening 2 u do it ive talked myself out of it. Haha! ...oh & "g string" haha!
Also, as much as aye play guitar & love doing so...aye suck. Aye also play what aye call cheater chords bc aye'm self taught. Thank u 4 taking ur time 2 do this though, very awesome 4 real. ♡
Hi James! ♡ This is definitely my favorite song and I truly appreciate the sincerely way you share your love to us through your talent, your music is pure magic.

Not learning...but it's like a private concert and very nice to hear You talking about music with passion. Still remember when You borrowed guitar to support artist last year in Poland😊
James is so underrated, let’s give him the love he deserves
Underrated? Speak by yourself. Some people just don't get it and think these crazy thoughts...
@@0212080041 do you mean he's bad or not underrated?
My heart start racing again 🎸💜😀
I feel like this is what people say when THEY hear someone for the first time. We have been here....
He does what he loves to, that's the point.
Society: No one sounds good live
James Bay: Hold my quarantine
hahaha😆
Imagine being this talented at.... anything. Insane.
John H and super handsome as well
I'd love to hear and see "scars" done!
Ceejay Vincent YESSS
That one is easier, actually
YESSSS SO GLAD SOMEONE AGREES
Same
Tonight 5pm insta live
And there is this guy, his name is James Bay who just illuminates your day :)
The most handsome teacher ever!!! ♥️
He's one of those artists that sound phenomenal in any setting, even in his bedroom with his phone sitting on a suitcase leaning against a shoe.
He’s so freaking humble and such a great teacher 🤩
Thank God we have James Bay during this quarantine 😍🎸
"I'm so professional. This phone is sat on a suitcase, leaning against a shoe I like to keep it homegrown." Best thing I've heard this week.
Definitely my favourite artist, too underrated as well!

Eres increíble James, desde Ecuador ♡ 🇪🇨
I’m glad you’re reading comments more 😀
Cause majority of influencers/RUclips’s don’t bother with them
I love that your doing these! Love your songs and I like hearing the process behind the tune 😍
I 💜 your voice😘😍😱🎻🎤🎶🎼🎵 So handsome.... My fav is "Let it go"
Loved your version of simply the best
Such a legend 👍🏻
Brilliant James 😊such a strong voice 🌈
No idea how to play the guitar, but I know you're an absolute genius.
Just the guitar playing conveys the emotions of the song!!! ♥
Thank you for a wonderful and informative vid. Huge fan. Glad to see you've returned to your roots.
Thank you James for this lesson🥰, and besides, I love your music and how you originally play and sing😘♥️
Absolutely brilliant, Chaos and The Calm is one of the best albums I’ve heard in ages
Always been a fan. A modern musician and a real guitar player. Great stuff
I believe James had in mind the following guitar tuning: E->D, A->G, D->C, G->F, B->A, E->D
D standard you tune everything down a step
I don't know why, but I really love you James
Very talented guy. Bravo. Nice song
It's official "I'm in love" ❤
So thoughtful an kind you are doing this ..thanku love an God bless x
I wouldn't dare even attempt 2 do this... those lyrics are so powerful & after listening 2 u do it ive talked myself out of it. Haha!
