So much respect. So much skill. Holy crap.
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
hugjj
The percussion you add is so incredible, it really brings a whole different vibe than a pure acoustic version would.

There's really something about James Bartholomew's way of playing.
taking guitar to a whole new level
Damn James, by far the best cover I've seen so far. Great sound too!
James, your chilled out style is honestly the most unique on UA-cam. Never stop doing what you do. I hope to be as good as you one day :)
I agree!
agree, too.
Thanks guys :) Its funny, I was never aware that I had a particularly laid back style until my channel picked up a bit and I started getting lots of comments saying it, but I'm a pretty laid back guy so I guess it makes sense! :)
That's actually a really good point. Perhaps the guitarist's personality reflects in his playing more than we'd expect.
Yesss!! Thank you! I have been obsessed with this song and was hoping you'd do a fingerstyle arrangement. AND YOU DID! thank you! You are awesome as always!
So incredibly talented!!
Just hard work :)
That's insulting the works man
Hard work, ain’t no talent.
@@JonathanSantos-gw6hk hard work captures talent. Talent need hard work. Not from birth
Hard work > Talent 💖🔥
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.
Great playing, I really like how you arranged it on the guitar :)
Oh hey man
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 man!!
I love all your covers so much, they're really original and just spreads a happy vibe :D
Love your channel!!
Your guitar skills are amazing!
You are such a great musician! I can only imagine to be this good someday. Thanks for the inspiration!
[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much
And that's an issue, but I'm okay
Hey, you tell your friends
It was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're lookin' pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can't stopNo, I-I-I can't stop
[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
[Verse 2: Halsey]
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay
[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm lookin' pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can't stopNo, I-I-I can't stop
[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]
So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner

Sir please do the tutorials too...
I want to learn the way you play
how could they dislike this cover? damn human.
like you.
Ooooo
iya nih
Homo sapiens are so ungrateful
Jealous! simple...
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how talented you are, but you are in one word, amazing. Keep up the great work.
dude you're a god! i've been looking for a decent way to play this acoustic for ages! thank you sir!
much love
James, where are you and do you give lessons? you spark a creativity in me like the first time I heard Tim Reynolds play with Dave Matthews..Mad props to you!
+DC A I can give lessons via Skype, however currently I'm in my last year at university so don't intend to accept any students at the moment
I can wait lol. I'll practice in the meantime thx :)
@@dca9143 Its been 3 fkn years. Did you go?
@@slendermannnn hahaha that's pretty good, unfortunately never did connect with him.
Lmao this comment😂

your style is amazing man. love listening to your music.
All the song that you play are so fantastic i love them.
Wow a million views! Love to see that you're getting that attention! You definitely deserve it :D
+Kathleen Alpurado Thanks Kathleen! Hopefully I can get one of my favourite videos to a million sometime soon :)
Is your guitar connected to something? The sound is amazing!
Just recorded with a pair of Rode Nt5 mics :)
James Bartholomew Wow, you're such an inspiration to every guitar player! I really wish I was as good as you. But it takes so long and since I'm a college student, time is not so easy to come by.. Fingerstyle is the next thing I want to learn. Though, it seems so hard! Looking forward to your next song! :)
Alexander Thennov I'm a final year student too ;)
James Bartholomew Haha..! Now I feel even more useless.. Oh well, if you can then I can too! I just have to keep going :)
This is simply brilliant! You're exceptionally talented!!
God this is my first guitar cover video that I found and I'm in love already ~
Awesome cover!! And congrats on 70k subs!

+tong haokip there's no magic to learning guitar, you just need to practice the things you want to learn
James Bartholomew yeah men ahh

Dude... The moment u hit those harmonics... 😍😍
The best part...

So clean!
James thanks for existing.. Your version iit's great!
Why is his thumb nail long if he doesn't use it?
+Jose Sanchez I can use different amounts on flesh and nail for different sounds, here most of the bass is muted so I use flesh
Cocaine
it's for boogers
+Kris Nunan LMAO
ewwwwwwwwwwwww
didn't you say "with tabs"? that means giving them out for free, not selling them. change the title.
+Simplekudos No, free tabs means free tabs, with tabs means tabs available, just like it has meant that on every video I have made for years.
+James Bartholomew doesn't make sense
+Wisp Warcraft yes, it does make sense
Awesome cover!! like the parts high up on the neck and the little percussive drum sort of rolls :D
amazing cover! i loved the percussive beat!
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
Those harmonics are amazing!
Man You Are The Most Amazing Person!
I know I'm late, but just wanted to say I like your style and technique. It's different from other covers. I can hear more of you, and less than more of them. I can appreciate that.
You have already inspired a lot of people including me thank you.
I feel like you are to the guitar as I am to piano. Watching your videos inspire me to make similar ones but in my piano style. Sometimes I even play along and pretend I'm collaborating :))
absolutely lovin it
Definitely a cut above the more popular fingerstyle arrangers, subscribed.
love this cover
definitely one is the best guitarists on youtube. Impressive dude !
you did it well dude! awesome!
it is the first time to watch your videos but i can say you are a pro guitar player keep it up i wish i can learn from you good job God be with you
Can you do a video of how you mix your covers? It sounds just amazing
this is amazing :) one of my favourite videos on youtube
Dayummm! 🔥 Amazing cover James!
Thank you so much you worked so smart. It was elegant sound
Hey James, I don't know if you'll read this but I just wanna say a big "thank you" to u! You're the reason I pick up the guitar everyday. :)
