Sure hope you’re feeling better, you sound a lot better. Thank you for this super video, it’s really nice to see your guitars out like this. Love your J-200, I’d love to have one someday. Thank you again and A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours! Buddy
Now show us the tee shirts, JJ. And whatever story is behind each one. I'm a 74 y.o. cancer survivor, the surgery and post-op treatment happened many years ago, so I sort of know your thoughts right now. Dad died from colon cancer, and I get regular camera work done. It was when I took up playing again a few years ago, looking for instruction for Lowell George's "Willin," that I discovered you. You've been my inspiration ever since.
Many thanks for taking the time to give everyone all those great lessons . Hope you have a speedy recovery , get well soon . Kind regards and from the uk .
You have a great wife, any women who allows her partner to have that many great guitars is a blessing. Keep all your guitars because you do great things with them. It is great to see you on the mend. Take your time recovering, we look forward to your return; we will go back to all your old videos until your back.
Thank you, JJ -- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. It's good for the soul to hear you again. I hope you're on the mend and feeling great soon. My colonoscopy is scheduled; thanks for the PSA. You're the best, man. I love your site, and the songs you play. Best of wishes in 2019.
I can imagine it'd be hard to let any of these go & they all truly sound amazing. But there's always something very particular about your Hummingbird - its tone is damn near magical.
Thanks for doing the tour. Entertaining and informative as usual. I wish you continued progress with your recovery. Happy holidays and good health to you and your family.
Happy New Year Jimmy James, hope you get to feeling better and get back to playing real soon. Thank you for all your great lessons and tutorials over the years!!!
James I Hope you’re feeling better !!! Beautiful collection and Thankyou for taking the time making these videos you’ve really helped me and countless others learn so many songs over the years !!! Get well soon ,Chris
That's probably the best 12min video I've seen in a while, such a fantastic selection of guitars. In my humble opinion I wouldn't get rid of any of them I've done that in the past and still regret it now. Glad to see your getting better.
Hey JJ first of all sorry, English it's not my language, but I feel like I had to leave you a comment. You have been a huge inspiration to me, since the PT channel (when I barely knew how to do a C chord) and you have taught me so much about the guitar or even mandolin. I think about how great and important was for me to found your channel since now I am 21 y/o and starting uni to become a music teacher. So Thank you, hope you feel better and get well soon. Happy Christmas to you and your family.
James, thanks so much for the tour of your collection. hope you are feeling a lot better, mate, and back to playing (and teaching) very soon. A most happy Xmas to you and your wife and family - and thank you so much for your great lessons. From a 65 yr old Australian.
Hey James - thanks for sharing the collection with us. Have to admit the D41 and J200 are just beauties. Wishing you a speedy recovery all the way from Northern Ireland.
Thanks so much for this outstanding review of your treasures! You truly make them all sing as they should; and, you keep teaching us every day with these magnificent guitars so we're all better players. All "Thanks to You!" Happy Holidays. Feel better soon!
This is a great collection--congratulations on your many excellent acquisitions, and thank you for all that you do for all of us who follow (and learn from) your videos. Keep getting better and enjoy the holidays!
Hadnt been back in a while. PT brought me out of guitar retirement many years ago, still going strong.You are an inspiring teacher and thats what its all about, also great guitars and best t-shirts. Wishing you well in your recovery.
What a beautiful collection you have !! Love the D-41 and the J-200. Love the #5 Les Paul... They're all great. Wish ya the best with your recovery, and Happy Holidays !!
thank you for takeing the time to show off the heard I have over 20 assorted guitars mostly hot rodded less expensive Epiphone & fender but lately been hooked on the danelectro 12 string electric very impressed with the jingle jangle tone out of the world.
Thanks for the tour! I've got the poor man's (Epiphone) version of the j200. It's a favorite of mine. Get well soon! Thanks for all of your videos. You've inspired a lot of people.
I’m on of the youngins on your channel. Born in 98’ and love classic rock. I’m self taught been playing for exactly a year two days from now and your channel is cool sir. I do some lessons and things on my channel. I’d be honored to get a few tips from you
JJ, Thank you for being an inspiration for guys (like me) to do the right/unselfish thing for our loved ones. My best to you for a steady and successful recovery. Those Gibson acoustics are stunning!
Thanks for sharing your collection with us. Some real nice guitars for sure. I have the same thing going on as well, too many guitars collecting dust. Been contemplating getting rid of a few of mine that would be better served in someone's hands getting played. Good luck in your recovery and God bless.
Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us. After the many many years of you creating fun and happiness with your guitar , I can’t help but consider you a friend or at least a kindred spirit. Big love to you and your family for new year. Feel better. Get strong
Greetings from Kentucky! Man I gotta let you know; You've helped me with learning guitar more that anyone ever has - on UA-cam or anywhere else for that matter. I started playing one year ago this past January and your videos help more than you'll ever know so Thank You!
thanks for this video. very inspiring to see a master with his tools. I remember you posted a similar vid on the pt channel but then I couldn't find it again. anyway- keep healing and teaching- spreading the gospel of rock!
Beautiful! Fantastic! Incredible collection J, LOVE the Gibson Acoustics!!! Really enjoying all your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your music, so much fun learning & playing along! Great explanation and thoughts for each song! I’ve just recently discovered your channel during my Xmas Vacation from work, Wow! My wife & I both are praying for you and your family!
Really feeling it for you J.J. I hope you continue to be positive in your recovery and that you can once again, entertain and enlighten us. All the best for 2019 too.
Get well soon! You have taught me more than anyone else on the web and are a true treasure. Thanks for all the lessons. Beautiful guitar collection. And as many others have said, you must have a fantastic wife to maintain that collection. Happy new year.
Thank you for sharing your collection with us, it's a wonderful one. I really love those Gibson acoustics. Hope your back to playing in your normal capacity soon. Best wishes for you and your family in the new year.
JJ you’ve helped me climb many a hill since I found your channel. I’m 65 and started playing at 16, I quit in my mid to late 20s for many years after the kids came along but a few years before the nest became empty I started back up and I found you on UA-cam quite sometime ago when you were under another name and you were playing all the old songs that I knew from my youth you. I’ve been playing everyday since and I have to give you much of the credit for instilling that fire in me again. I wish you much peace, love and good health for many years to come to you and yours! Keep picking my brother! Oh! When I decided to start playing again I went on a guitar binge and added to my two old bangers I had since my teen years, I need to get my wife to watch your video of your collection!
That is quite a harem! Thank you for sharing! I hope that you are feeling better and getting stronger so that you can give them the attention that they deserve. I wish you and your family the Joy of the Season!
Thanks James. Hope you are keeping well. Damn fine collection. Love the LP’s and your acoustics. Nice to see a Teisco in there. First guitar I ever owned a loooong time ago was a 1 pup Teisco E110 Tulip. Very basic.
Thanks for sharing my man. I'm sure those guitars have brought you many wonderful memories. I also appreciate "Shine on you crazy diamond" playing in the background - nice touch.
Dude YOU'RE MY IDOL!...THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION...Wow...Again THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting your videos ..for me YOU'RE THE ABSOLUTE BEST..Thank You Again..👍😎 Vinnyb from So Cal
Fabulous collection. The first 4 or 5 years of the millennium seem to have been a good time for your guitar acquisition. Thanks for all those great lessons. Best wishes for a healthy New Year.
Thanks for this. I vaguely remember you doing this in the other channel but I've never been able to find it again. I've learned a ton from you, thanks again and merry Christmas
Hey man I just started following your channel a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to say thanks for all the videos, they've been beyond helpful and you do a great job on all of them. You certainly have a wonderful collection there! I wish you all the best with your health and hope that you start to feel up to playing again very soon! Good luck.
Thank you for showing your awesome guitar collection. I have a similar collection as well. I keep them all out on stands in my studio so they’re handy to play and nobody gets forgotten. well I hope the worst is behind you now with your health issue. Everyday will be better from here on. I know you don’t know me from Adam, but the best advice I can give from experience is, listen to the doctors and do what they say. I hope you and your wife have a great Holliday season. ROCK “N” ROLL from Florida
James James, that was awesome !! Hope you can do one with amps and a tutorial on getting the perfect tone that you get. I have learned more from you than any one out there !! ROCK ON AND I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER !!
My first electric was aPeavy Patriot back in the 80s. I have a Strat and had one in high school (maybe even middle school). And I’ve got a 335 very similar with an interesting provenance. My FIL loves music and music festivals. He went to a blues festival. Had food and a beer or two. Fell asleep in the grass listening to music. Awoke to his name being called. His ticket had won a raffle. A nice 1980s Gibson ES 335!! I’m the only son in law (his son doesn’t play either) who plays guitar. So I got ‘stewardship’ (I guess you’d call it) of the guitar. I don’t feel I own it, though he did give it to me. None of my 4 boys play, so no idea where it will go. Perhaps I will have grandchildren who will play. Thanks for the great video. I learned all kinds of stuff about guitars from it! Never heard of some of those! Be well, and have fun!
Thanks for sharing. I collect guitars also and love to see other guitar collections. Every guitar has a nostalgic story that I enjoy hearing. I have 25 guitars and still say " You can never have too many" I just had major surgery 2 days ago and can barely lift my lightest guitar. Here's to hoping we both have a good recovery. Thank god for modern medical technology
Hey James, Ive loved and benefited from your lessons. I never expected though I’d be saying thank you for inspiring me to do something for my health. Yet you have. I made my consult and procedure appointments for Jan 9th and 16th respectively. I think we all hope to inspire at least one person on this planet to do something positive. My message to you is that you have. Thank you friend, and best wishes for continued improvement on your health. From my family to yours, thank you and best wishes for this holiday season and many many more to come. Charlie
Very nice collection! God Bless and praying you have a speedy recovery. You certainly have helped me on many songs. If I’m learning something new or just revisiting an old song I’ve played before you are always one of a few on UA-cam that I go to to see how you play that song, you making learning easy, thank you for always being there! Keep playing as music is such a healing force. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Just reminiscing about the great days of the James James channel. I sure hope he and Mrs James are well ❤
I love this channel. Hope you come back soon. Valuable channel forever sure!
I hear David Gilmour playing
Shine On You Crazy Diamond, to be specific
Sure hope you’re feeling better, you sound a lot better. Thank you for this super video, it’s really nice to see your guitars out like this. Love your J-200, I’d love to have one someday. Thank you again and A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours! Buddy

Now show us the tee shirts, JJ. And whatever story is behind each one. I'm a 74 y.o. cancer survivor, the surgery and post-op treatment happened many years ago, so I sort of know your thoughts right now. Dad died from colon cancer, and I get regular camera work done. It was when I took up playing again a few years ago, looking for instruction for Lowell George's "Willin," that I discovered you. You've been my inspiration ever since.
Gene Davis You know there already is one, right?
Thanks for all the great videos. Speedy recovery.

Hey James,
Ive loved and benefited from your lessons. I never expected though I’d be saying thank you for inspiring me to do something for my health. Yet you have. I made my consult and procedure appointments for Jan 9th and 16th respectively.

Glad you're on the mend. All the best to you and the family this xmas!
Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy 2019 to you JJ! It's always a pleasure to view your immaculate collection of guitars - I especially love "Rocky."
I wish you all the best in 2019 and good health and keep on playing JJ, I love your videos!
A long awaited video
Very nice collection! God Bless and praying you have a speedy recovery. You certainly have helped me on many songs. If I’m learning something new or just revisiting an old song I’ve played before you are always one of a few on UA-cam that I go to to see how you play that song, you making learning easy, thank you for always being there!
