Anyone know any finger-picking tricks for playing in the style of James Taylor? He has so many interesting pull-offs and hammer-ons which I'd like to learn. If you've got advice or know some good links, please post.

Thanks.

He's a great acoustic player / songwriter / & singer. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a plethra of information on him on the web, his fans are very devoted. I know he does use a capo sometimes and just about every song contains about 20 chords.
I saw him in concert in the late eighties playing at a college auditorium (probably held 6-8,000). One of the best live acts I've ever seen, he must've done 6 encores that night, that just keep going nuts.
