From the Archive: James Taylor Will Teach you Guitar

The New Yorker Radio Hour

James Taylor’s songs are so familiar that they seem to have always existed. Onstage at the New Yorker Festival, in 2010, Taylor peeled back some of his influences—the Beatles, Bach, show tunes, and Antônio Carlos Jobim—and played a few of his hits, even giving the staff writer Adam Gopnik a quick lesson.

This segment originally aired on July 7, 2017.
