I sometimes love to just turn some guitar covers on , close my eyes and imagine a night sky , a camp fire going You and your friends sitting all around the fire and myself just playing the night away. This is why I have taken guitar myself. I want this work of imagination to one day become a reality.
Dude that's exactly what i was thinking of when i know how to play guitar
Itâs been 7 months I hope you got so much closer on manifesting youâre dreams and passions into reality â€ïž
@@guillermogalvan4857 So kind of you :D. I cannot brag about my progress. Learning guitar takes a lot of work. Ive learnt many things over the past 7 months....But I cant say I have fully left the 3 chord Strummer zone just yet XD. For now I've learnt a lot of melodies of songs. But there has been one thing that I am proud of. Together with my Music teacher. Us both playing guitar we played in front my school. A guest came to our school , so we welcomed him with some music. It was for our independence day so the song was well....themed for that. But I think I was looking slick XD
Black shirt Black jeans and a black guitar and a red bow tie. AHH MAN ...Weird how all the girls went over to praise the teacher tho.......I guess that's the way of a true guitarist.
Konig AYEEE MAN thatâs littt asfff bro not gonna lie and tbh bro Iâm trynna play in front of my whole school as well, I want to sign up for the talent show and leave a ever lasting message that can really benefit the younger generation, and one way I can grab their attention is guitar, but besides grabbing for opportunities that only come around once a life time, guitar is just a beautiful instrument, I hope one that I will be able to play guitar for the one meant for me and than play guitar for my kids, I wanna be that old man on his porch playing throw backs and just reminiscing on beautiful memories of the past, while having a beautifully rolled jay in my hand.
And after just talking to a few people and everything I did realise how much guitar is.
Now to the dream of playing guitar with friends I've gotten a sort of sub dream.
Someday ima be just sitting in my house and my grandchildren will come over. and go
Grandad grandad Play something for us!
Thankyou so much for 100k subscribers! I never thought even a year ago one day I'd hit 100,000! Also, sorry for missing a couple of videos recently, I've been very burned out and struggling with lots of problems at my new student place... but I'm feeling better now and I'm working on a cool medley for next week!
congratulations!
James Bartholomew thanks also for the covers
keep it up
hope everything settles
you got magic in those hands ;)
congrats james
What medley !? Please don't do a Paramore medley cause I m doing that haha ;)
Nothing is impossible!! After 5 month learning fingerstyle songs i finally able to learn this!!
Congrats
@Matthew Kasparian its all just about commitment.
@@abysyekh6094 you learned the whole song in 5 months? If yes then is this one of the hardest song to learn in guitar?
@@nikhil_1008 not 5 months,maybe just about 6 - 7 hours. 5 month is the time to improve skills at playing.
Can you do a tutorial?
I for some reason shed some tears listening to this cause it reminded me of all the old days when it used to be more simple and my friends were still with me.
I sound old
Why did this hit hard. brings a tear to my eye đą
Where that time gone
same here
Same
Same here.
is it only me that really wish i could play like this and starts practicing but gives up after 10 mins :D
Try yousician its great for learning to play guitar
EL INFORMADOR ANONIMO if you really want to learn smth you can do it but it takes time :)
Me 2 bro xD i gave up after 3 minutes
Yasss
This guy probably has years of practice before playing like this, atleast get an hour of practice everyday
Imagine you perform a guitar performance in your school with this song.
My ex will be back to me
*Online class*
I m a g i n e
I imagine myself as far away from my school as possible
so cool, that my dream
Cool. Very talented
đ€Ș
Unlike u
@@hengwalojishing285 đ
Practise and Talent Aint The Same.
@@hengwalojishing285 Goofy ahh commentđ
Iâve been playing guitar for 8 years and i must say the level at where iâm at now I would have never thought i could achieve it in the beginningđ„ș practice makes perfect
Do you know how to arrange?
Its not just a song, its an emotion.
0:58 sounds so good!!
All your covers are so relaxing
+Kaylene Chong Thankyou :)
i'm do agree
+James Bartholomew ,hi good morning,what are the chord that you using on this song?thank you
i like this song ,i like the way you played it.thank you so much
true
@@donimahendra2752 i are's too
2:03 wow... that mute picking was awesome
Yeah thats very good
Ohh.. so good
TaeSu Lee agree with you
Yeah...
Also at 0:40
i dont know why but this song has always struck a cord with me, and an acoustic version just sounds amazing.
Donât wanna be that guy but itâs chord not cord
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time, when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone, trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But you just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time
When we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone
Man, fuck that shit
I'll be out spending all this money
While you sitting 'round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing
Made it from the bottom
Now, when you see me I'm stunning
And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me had chances I blew up
Or whatever you call it
Switch the number to my phone
So you never could call it
Don't need my name on my show
You can tell that I'm balling
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
Had a really good game
But you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Or what you could have saw
But sad to say it's over for
Phantom pulled up valet open doors
Wished I'd go away
Got what you was looking for
Now it's me who they want
So you can go and take that
Little piece of shit with you
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?
If "Happy Ever After" did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All these fairy tales are full of shit
Yeah, one more fucking love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone
When you can hear the the lyrics along the rhythm because its so on point n even more soother than the original itâs insane
I like the sound of your covers because u are just playing relaxed not like the other covers they go faster and out of the song... My opinionđđ
yes he play so good to me too
kind of relax version just not too fast
I too think the same..!
I'm not too sure about that most of the guitarists I'm subscribed to keep the tempo steady it's a basic part of music if you cant do something a simple as holding a tempo then you shouldn't really play.
@@toshiroyamada2443 I might be wrong, but what I think OP is talking about is that allot of youtube covers get overly "fancy", not that the tempo or actual rhythm is off. Sometimes there are just too many harmonics or guitar-drum features to where the actual melody of the original song is kind of lost. The covers on this channel are usually very clean.
But i kinda prefer sungha jungs version.
I love how you thumb smack the top string in like all your covers. Really gives it a good beat
It's called a slap in guitar terms , IT replaces the snare drum in a drum kit, đ
You can also knock on the body of the guitars. I love acoustic guitars and the ways you can make percussive sounds

Random Person me

@@kodygee1917 same bro
Fuck yea that was my song. N here i am several years later listening to this 7 in the morning
YEA
do u know how many times I replay your videos MY GOD!!!! it is so relaxing and good keep it up men .....
Yeah, they're SO relaxing!
this guitar cover is so relaxing. i am willing to listen to this even if it's forever!
ive heard some fingerstyle cover, but your covers is the music i hear the most, its simple and it feels really good...love it
Thanks man :)
@@JamesBartholomewMusic yeah you're fucking great
I love listening to the smoothness and the rich tones of his playing, don't know how he does it...
something about fingerpicking just hits different so mellow i love this so much
My guitar: In your dreams
đ đ đ đ đ đ Bro
LMAOO
Fax tho đ đ
not impossible, let's try....he is not came from other planet....
Haha same
It's 2023, but this cover still pop up on my mind when I try to relax.
Fr tho this song just pop out off nowhere when we try to relax or even just want to listen to.
You make ripples on my sad face....there are some notes are amazing man....I just walk on and on with listening your guitar payphone version!!! All I want to say is 'thank you James'
One of my favorite covers of yours! So peaceful and nostalgic.
Guitar covers like this make the song better. Guitars were something needed for humanity
It's summer , sunset in your favorite beach , only you and a beer , everything is fine , you hear the waves in the ocean , and you are there , chilling with some sunglasses admiring the beautiful scenery.
I can fall asleep to your music. Not because itâs boring or anything, but because itâs so relaxing!

Damn this was 4 years ago? Time flies hella fast.
No 7 years
Gotta learn this beforei die
Thank for the upload it sounds so good i wanna learn it
Sungha jung version is much easier compared to this.
Raymund
@@raymundbadua2892 you are fucking insane if you think this is harder than sungha jung, sungha jung's cover has so many slap and strums it actually looks like it has more slap and strums than picking
@@cartilations lol that was sarcasm
Why is your guitar so smooth.. I'm jealous
Omg..this get my memories back...I wish if I can back to the past to fix everythingđ
Dang! I have a bunch of your covers saved, and when I learn to play as good as you, I'm gonna master them. Thanks for being inspirational, James!
Deze hit in de feels
This is just amazing I still listen this.... I listen it at school, home, and just everywhere! Fantastic I would like to see more of these kind of video in the future!
James, with your music world is a better place.
Your fan,
Clauss :)
You didn't believe me in August that you'll hit 100k before the end of 2016. Congrats! :)
Haha and we made it by November! Now what's your estimate for the end of 2017? ;)
James Bartholomew If I say 250k will you believe? It's been some time since I follow many guitarists on CZcams, I watch how they grow man, but you had the fastest growing in 2016. No joke! :)
+Clauss Well, at my current rate I would hit 325k by the end of 2017 already haha! It's been pretty crazy lately :P
James Bartholomew In this case, I hope I'm wrong with 250k haha
i'm having mood swings today and I caught myself listening to your music. made me feel better and more relaxed. more power James!!!
rain Cosca dont forget ur medicine
Probably one of everyone's December playlist.
Possibly one of my favorite guitarist
This is what I needed to hear
Going through a phase where I don't understand anything or anyone this really made my day
Thanx a lot
This is now what I shall fall asleep to for the rest of my life
It sounds so good!!!
Yes!! 100k!! Been here since 5k, and let me just say, you're one of the BEST fingerstyle guitarists on CZcams! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for what the future has in store for you!
at this point 1:00 my heart touches filled with joy and happiness. :) nice fingers brođ
this is the most.. pure sound ive ever heard and man does it make me feel good to listen to it.
I have now heard this song for 37 times in 2 days....... You are a true gem dude.... Could you do Make You Mine by PUBLIC???
You are the best guitar player ever! I've watched the video for 5 seconds and instantly hit the subscribe button! Please keep doing what you do! Greetings from Germany :)
this sounds like the sound they would put at the end of the movie where it would end in a happy ending
If happy ever did exist, I would still be holdin u like this
Nostalgia.
Good old days
Wish you had a video of you showing us how to play this. Iâve been playing for years and can kinda pick up what youâre doing but still would live a step by step. Beautiful work.
Dang, really missed the moments where me and my siblings singin' this song out loud on the car
Now it's just all about quarantine
I watch this video everytime đ§
Respect & Love from indonesia đźđ©đźđ©đźđ©
Wkwk land menyapa :v
I used to hate this song because it was abused years ago, then recently starting liking it. But this? WOWOWOW, beautifully played Sir!
Keep up the great work!
Same, I still don't like the song that much, but I really like this version.
2021, and i just can't stop listen to this song. Woah...what a legend...â€ïž
I imagine myself playing songs on a guitar around a campfire or maybe on my porch or in my room, they always seem to calm me down, here recently I had an anxiety attack and I turned on one of the guitar covers he did and it helped alot, I think it was because it made me imagine playing a guitar around my family and I am extremely thankful that I have accidentally found his channelđ€đ
I wish I could play like you man, what a dream come true that would be. Great cover.
Really isn't that hard just stick with it
there are so many covers out there I cannot count.. but I find your notes to be so clear and melodic ..
True...his recording and his tone are on pointđđ
The song starts at 0:01 you're welcome
Thanks
đą why you were born
Thank you đđ»
Very useful thank you
I dont play anymore and wish I could.
Miss those days !
Pretty tune.
Thanks !
The sound is clear and clean
This song, especially this specific guitar cover. This very video will always hold a special place in my heart for the very memories connected to it. Thank you. :)
great work i play guitar myself. music is my life.
regards from india
Same here
High notes just hit different on the guitar
Magic in fingers âš
Wearing headset while listening to this , remembering all the good memories .
Hey James, ever thought about covering La Vie En Rose? I'd love to hear your take on it!
I will use your music as my background sound of my wedding this is so great.. And i will send you a link of a video of it..
This is the most beautiful cover I have ever listened to
*These Covers Speak Louder Than Words*
I cry to this only this cover idk why I just love it so much and it reminds me to be thankful thank you this is truly a gift from god
LYRICS
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone, baby it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time
When we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you

If Happy Ever Afters did exist

All those fairy tales are full of it
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Oh, you turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday

Man, f*** that sh**
I'll be out spending all this money
While you're sitting round wondering
Why it wasn't you who came up from nothing

And all of my cars start with a push of a button
Telling me the chances I blew up

Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for

I havenât heard this song in forever and this cover is AMAZING
Your music always accompany me when I on my work progress.. thank you sir
not a fancy move ... yet simple and beautiful .... treat to ears
That was so beautiful! Who needs karaoke songs when you can sing along to this? I love your work keep it up! (You just got a new sub!)
Man, i say it from hearth, you are the best !
Too bad you can't spell
Love the rhythm you gave to each note making it a bit upbeat.
This is really freaking good my man
Keep it up
My CZcams homepage recommended this to me. A welcome addition to my repertoire of favorite videos on the internet.
I am so freakin close to play this, I play electric with a pick and started fingerstyle one week ago just to play this song because James nailed it. I had classical guitar lessons like 8 years ago but I remembered the fingestryle techinque quite fast. Practice makes perfect.
hey james, congrats on your 100k!!
i'm your fans from bali, indonesia :D
This song reminds me of the past that there's still no problem and our problem is how to escape the bedroom in afternoon because our mom wants us to sleep but we want to play and all we need is friend toys not phone It just reminds me of everything:(
this is the most beautiful payphone fingerstyle cover
Dang me and my friend would listen to this song over and over again on end. The nostalgia is real...
It's called a "Capo". It's used to increase the pitch to a desired key u want and it's actually quite useful as u could play open chords higher up the fretboard.
Hope this helps...practice well :)
This man is not only good at the guitar but he knows how to save money I mean why buy a pin when u can grow ur thumb nail and save 99p. Props to you!!
Financial experts hate him! Get rich by this one simple trick!
Lol

beautiful music. awesome playing bro.
This account was so helpful when I was learning fingerstyle as a beginner. Four years in, and this song is easy now! I'm a classical guitarist these days. :-) Somewhere between Bartholomew and Johnson. Lol.
Finally I master this payphone! Yeayyyyy take 2 weak for this payphone! Thanks James ur a more better!
This song gives me chills, I love it!đđ
SO BEAUTIFUL. You should do tutorials
I just looked at my guitar and my guitar laughed at međ
Hey are you galo?
Lmaođđ.......
Wow, 13 million + views, you absolutely deserved it.
*How the hell is this little kid playing better than i ever did in my life. Mad respect*
Keep up the brilliant work man! All of your cover are very relaxing to hear
Im watching this bcuz im poor and I don't have a guitar yet :(
đą keep dreaming

Visiting the same video 1 year later, so much in my life has changed, but not this, still amazing
