James Taylor Guitar Lessons

Ive just discovered Taylor's guitar video lessons! They are extremely well done. He has a camera on his headstock and one inside his Olson acoustic showing you both of his hands working at once.

Doug, this isn't the right link for some reason.

Seriously cool, but man, how does he keep from breaking those fingernails? Mine break off when they're not half that long.

Nick...snoop around on the AG forum associated w/ Acoustic Guitar Magazine and you'll find some wierd and involved fingernail treatment JT goes through to preserve and harden his nails. I'll go back in the AG annals and try to find it for you. Can't recall the topic now off the top of my head. Might be on his site as well.

Some material for both eyes here – and both brain halfs as well.

 

One of the many things I admire about J. Taylor is his ongoin' passion for his craft'n'art. It seems there's always another corner ahead – and around the bend another page to turn.

 

This makes the man one of the true masters – the urge for being an apprentice.

Thanks for gettin' that. I'm not much of a fingerstylist but I'm spending time now to dump bad habits and improve my skills. Someone here connected me with the Kenny Sultan Acoustic Blues Guitar intermediate DVD fingerpick lessons, which appear to be right at the level I can learn from, but fingernail maintenance beyond keeping them healthy and short but usable won't be part of my regimen. Playing more lightly and cautiously should work well. Beyond that, I'd find the right picks for my style.
