I love this song by James Taylor and have played it for years. Here is how it sounds on one of my 6 string cigar box guitars through a Fender Acoustasonic amp.

Thank you Jim, I have played this one many times over the years it seems 2nd nature. I can relate to those particular lyrics myself! I have parts that hurt that I don't know what I did lol

Thank you Richard! I have played this one for many years and it was one that taught me how to fingerpick. Thanks for your always positive support!Ā

Thank you Richard Dean. Much appreciated! My wife likes when I keep it simple too. It can be fun to try more complex versions but then I get into dangerous territory lol.Ā

As good a James Taylor cover as you'll ever see, well done DerekĀ  :-)

Thank you Silent Jim and Uncle John! JT was a heavy influence on me as well and his style of fingerpicking is unique. My mom liked it when I played this way back when.

Thank you Vin, Erasmo and Wes, this is one of my all time fave tunes.Ā
