When this video came out, my BFF was still alive. She was called back Home on Nov 13, 2019 and I am still grieving. My pilot light went out that day and I cannot reignite it. I will be glad when my time is done here and hope that there is some form of afterlife where we can meet up with our people, our loved ones, our animals....
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from everyone at The Barn! This video of James playing a Christmas classic includes a special slow motion section for all interested guitarists. #GuitarLessons

I started playing guitar in junior high, but struggled, sputtered, stopped, like a lot of beginners. When I first heard the album "Sweet Baby James," I said, "that's how I'd really like to play." Never have quite gotten there, but I've also never stopped trying. Brilliant stuff. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
