Ed Sheeran - Photograph | Fingerstyle Guitar Cover 

This year I’d like to revisit some of the songs I covered very early on this channel, not just re recording them but creating new & improved arrangements! I thought I’d start the year with such a video, so here’s one I originally covered way back in 2015! P.S. Afterglow happened to be released soon after I started working on this… I wasn’t sure which to do first so perhaps I’ll cover that one at some point soon too 😅

the song was played at my dad's funeral ... you played it so well it made me cry

My grandfather passed down his guitar to me before passing away. My mom used to love when he played it...So I’m making this promise to myself that one day i’ll be great at this and play for my mom she deserves it❤️

Beautiful arrangement James! Love the sound of your new guitar, beautiful projection and tone!

There's a certain slowness in your playing that i love. It goes perfect with a guitars sound.

Am so glad to see more acoustic guitar enthusiasts here may God bless you all🙏❤️

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing makes us feel alive We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen, still So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it's the only thing that I know, know I swear it will get easier Remember that with every piece of ya Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen, still So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone And if you hurt me That's okay, baby, only words bleed Inside these pages, you just hold me And I won't ever let you go Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Oh, you can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen Next to your heartbeat where I should be Keep it deep within your soul And if you hurt me Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed Inside these pages, you just hold me And I won't ever let you go When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me Under the lamppost back on Sixth street Hearing you whisper through the phone "Wait for me to come home"

You’re really feeling these songs man, sounding so clear and so soulful !

Wow, perfect sound!

It's not easy to manage the lyrics and background music together. You did it vey well! loved it ❤️ Hats off brother!

Damn your playing is so articulate, amazing how your arrangements always sound so calm and clear playing no more notes than needed. Toghether with an amazing recording this is just pure joy to listen to!

I always love how smooth and chill youre arrangement is 💙

This by far is the best for me. Love all of your playings. Thank you.

You’re one of my biggest inspirations and I’ve learned so much from you! I love your overall sound it’s so unique. Thank you for releasing your music it’s so good!

Ah, this made me feel so many emotions in one go, love this. Thankyou for the feels and great tunes.

I am absolutely in love with the way you tap the bass notes in the pre chorus. Awesome keep it up

I remember being blown away by your cover of to build a house and how differently you do things. Its beautiful in its simplicity. I love the old record sound this gives.

The new McGreevy sounds fantastic!! So happy to finally hear it

I love all your fingerstyle james !! ❤️

I was recently given your 7 years tab for Christmas after aspiring to b able to play it for a long time. I can now play it almost in its entirety but have noticed I'm putting in less and less time into polishing it off. Only a couple of days ago I realised it's because I didn't want to - for so long it's been my goal in my guitar playing to be able to play that idk if I actually wanted to finish without having something else to aim for. I think I just found that something else. 🙏

Never cease to amaze me how beautiful you play, my goodness!!

sounds perfect! well played James!

gotta revisit certain songs definitely. wonderful

I watch these videos for enjoyment and inspiration, great work!

Remastering the masterpiece absolutely loved it😍

soooo goood man! Loving the dynamics and tapping. (noticed you changed some chord progressions too! haha)

Awesome cover James!!😍🔥

Man you're so good. I could never imagine playing this good, you make the guitar literally sing.

No words. It's perfect. I love it.
