Loved it James. The words fit the vibe of the song perfectly, and you sang it as only you can. Your guitar work was simple and melodic, and also fit the song perfectly.

You always have a way of making a song your own, and putting your own stamp on it. You use the oldest trick in the book: Talent.

Respect,
Ralph

You really owned the guitar licks. Very captivating. Your singing is awesome, as always. You have a knack for turning these exercises into music. Well done James 🙂

Awesome as always, James! I agree with Ralph: lots of talent – and lots of taste. A pleasure to listen to! 👍🏽👍🏽

Great blend of those lyrics with this track James!

Very Nice James well done!!!!!

Very sweet and soulful James.
Great lyrics.

Great Playing James!!

Really excellent James. Love your creativity of finding just the right lyric to go with the track. You must have a huge mental catalog of blues and gospel tunes to draw from. Really enjoyed it!

That is fantastic.

Preach it brother James! Great playing and great singing. 🙌🏻

The song fits perfectly with the music and your vocals on this are top notch. Loved also the catchy major pentatonic leads on you guitar. Brilliant performance, James!

Oh what a treat! Thank you for introducing me to this song too!

Loved the message in this, James – nice tone, playing and singing 👍🎶😎

I’m a firm believer in the Power of Now – if only more of us would live in the moment 🤞; sure, learn lessons from the past, but don’t live in it, and don’t fret about tomorrow! Here endeth the lesson 😂😂😂♥️

Nifty combination of vocals and guitar-so much desperation in your song. Your tasty chops compliment the arrangement nicely.

James that was really good playing as well as vocals! The chorus that you sang fit perfectly into this backing track. I had to listen twice!

I love how you added your great vocals. Your Gospel style singing and lyrics went soo well with the track. Great lead and tone🎸, too.🙏

Incredible James! One Day at A Time! Superb performance – as always James. So melodic and emotional. Very well done

I really loved what you did with this James. Beautiful!

I knew you’d think of a song to go with this backing track, James. Good for us, because we can listen to your beautiful singing. And your guitar playing keeps up with it. As always, a pleasure to listen to.

Where can I buy a ticket! Well done James loved the singing!

That was really cool, James! I’m reminded of a famous New Zealand band (Crowded House) who sang “Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you”.

Wonderful, James!
It seems like this track and gospel are a match made in heaven – especially when you added your expressive vocals to it! Another great lesson and a real song mash, excellent work on that one, as usual 🙂

I love the way you incorporate a song into the challenges James. Pure brilliance. Nice song (unfamiliar with it but enjoyed it) and a very lyrical guitar part/parts to accompany. Happy New Year and all the best! 😎🎸😎

Superb! a simple but devilishly effective accompaniment, and your voice really sets the mood in this masterful interpretation you’ve given us. a lot of talent, which I really appreciate. Bravo

Very nicely played & sung james. Great stuff & great sentiment.

Always astounds me that you can find a song to fit the progression. Your musical knowledge must be expansive, James. Wonderful how you put all we learn into actual real life practice.
Love the t-shirt, also. It sums up why we pursue this guitar journey.

Hi James , yep great minds think alike the gospel way was a nice path to take .
It always amazes me how you find the lyrics and masterfully weave them in , nice melodic lines in your improv.
Always enjoy your posts ….pro level 👌

a very soulful playing and singing James, congrats!

Awesome as always James and the knack you have to find songs to fit into other backing tracks is always eye opening. Thanks for sharing your vocal and guitar talents with a willing audience.

As always, a perfect unity of vocals and guitar. Pure harmony that you have to enjoy.

I think we need a new topic area on the forum. “Ask James”. We put up an obscure backing track or progression and you name a song to go with it! It amazes me how you do this but you are the master. Excellent melodic playing and sweet singing.
I was just waiting for the pan to the right and for the gospel choir to pick it up when it ended🙂

Awesome, James. Another great one!!
Happy New Year!
Larry

Yes I am hearing and feeling the gospel. Praise be!
