So much respect. So much skill. Holy crap.

There's really something about James Bartholomew's way of playing.

dude! you absolutely nailed it with the percussion on this one. A lot of people go overboard with the percussion when playing fingerstyle nowadays, but I like how you do it in moderation. It makes coming back to your videos a joy

The percussion you add is so incredible, it really brings a whole different vibe than a pure acoustic version would.

James, your chilled out style is honestly the most unique on KZread. Never stop doing what you do. I hope to be as good as you one day :)

That's actually a really good point. Perhaps the guitarist's personality reflects in his playing more than we'd expect.

Great playing, I really like how you arranged it on the guitar :)

Man, congrats, you are so talented, and that song is awesome. Thank you for this acoustic version, now I'm gonna try learn it

Awesome cover! I've been practicing a simple version of this song for a couple weeks, but I really enjoy your fingerstyle take on it. Much respect for your skill.

You are such a great musician! I can only imagine to be this good someday. Thanks for the inspiration!
