U are a lengend bro the mount of time and work u put into these videos is amazing thanks I can now play this song it’s much appreciated Tim 👍👍Brian Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for the tutorials! They relived my spirit in learning guitar! This channel and your videos have so much potential and I am happy to be hear to see it growing!)
No thanks Valerio, it's my pleasure! This song is turning into one of Tommy's most beloved tunes, and (luckily) it's also one of the easier ones to play!
Hey Tim, thanks so much for your very detailed and methodical tutorials. You have made Tommy’s songs (at least the “easier” ones) more accessible for average players like me. You mentioned in your video that this song is played with alternating bass and melody notes. But I noticed that sometimes you would also play the bass and melody notes together at some parts, and sometimes you would alternate. I supposed there isn’t a “correct” way of playing and it all depends on personal preference on the sound we like? I hope more will subscribe to your channel in 2022. Have a great year ahead! :)
@@TimVanRoy wow that's so nice to hear! 😃😊 Really glad you liked my cover :D I am still working on Mombasa, which is quite difficult for me 😅 I'll let you know when I finish it :)
Thank You very much for the Tutorial. It is really great and You explain everything very well. As for the fingering problem (21:20): I am using the second method but the index for the 2nd fred on the e-string and the middle for the 2nd fret d-string, so the pinky can easily reach out. Feels very easy. CHeers!
Excellent teaching. However, I am disillusioned. I put a lot of time into learning parts of this from you. When I then downloaded the official TAB from Tommy's website, it is different from this lesson.
Hi Felix! Sorry for the disappointment, I have no idea what the tab from Tommy's website looks like. I make all of my own transcriptions! But it probably (hopefully) won't be any major differences since this a song that isn't too complicated (compared to some others)?
Hi Austin! Yes, Brandon is right. Copyright issues forced me to take everything down. I'm currently licensing everything with MusicNotes and whenever that happens I reupload the old tutorial but without the tabs!
Unless you have hands like dinner plates, there are some things (many things) that you will never be able to reach and play. Most accomplished guitarists have long fingers and / or wide spans - or both. Before hopeful learners spend small fortunes on expensive instruments, they should check that they have the physical equipment to become guitarists. When people say it's all about practise, they're leaving out an important factor. You need the physical attributes too. If you're reactions aren't quick enough or your coordination is poor or your finger spread is too small, you might be able to amuse yourself at home but you'll never be a competent performer. And no amount of practise will change that. There is a saying: _You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear_ and it's true. So check these things before you go throwing hard earned money around.
Whenever a train of thought is laid out this cleary (with resorting to foul language) I can always appreciate and understand the underlying thought. But as a teacher I'm going to respectfully object to a few of those statements of course! I do agree that there are some medical issues that might block you from playing the guitar (especially when there is a condition that impedes your left/right hand coördination). But in my 20+ years as a teacher I have only had one person that fell into that category. In most cases a good playing posture and fretting technique will fix a lot of issues almost instantly. And while I do disagree with the meme-like statement that "you'll play better on a new guitar" there is a huge factor there that forces people down the wrong path: playing a bad guitar (or one that is set up poorly) will force you to apply a LOT of physical strength to play cleanly, and that alone will limit your potential to grow on the instrument. Or as Tommy often tells his audience: "If you think your hands are too small to play the guitar, then go and watch Muriel Anderson play!".
Tim and Tom, a perfect binomial.
Excellent, highly accessible lesson. Thank you!
Keeping it simple is a beautiful tommy Emmanuel piece
It certainly is! And it's already on the schedule for the future!
Possibly the best guitar lesson anywhere on RUclips....beautifully done....and thank you. It helped me to buy the accmpanying tab

Helpful video, happy to you are back with these videos
This is a great tune for those of us who are not as talented as yourself😳. Great lesson, did not even miss the tabs.
Thanks Steve! Let's hope the tabs aren't missed as soon as the songs get more complicated too 😁
Hey, this is my first Tommy Emmanuel tune I'm learning! Your tutorial is great! 👍
Hi Tay! Welcome to the channel 😎 And great choice for your first Tommy-song! A great melody and not-too-difficult chords! Enjoy the lesson!
@@TimVanRoy thank U! ❤️
Dude, thank you. Loved it!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much sir, this is gonna be my first Tommy Song I try to play!
Good choice! Great melody, chords are not too hard and good introduction to the alternating bass line. Best of luck!
Thanks Tim

Thanks Kenni! Anything you are working on at the moment? I'd love to see another one of your covers!
@@TimVanRoy wow that's so nice to hear! 😃😊 Really glad you liked my cover :D I am still working on Mombasa, which is quite difficult for me 😅 I'll let you know when I finish it :)
Congrats on 10k subs.
Great tutorial! Steady and clear~
Thanks Jay! Enjoy playing through the song!
@@TimVanRoy Working on it now =D

Thank you bro
No thanks needed Melwil, enjoy the tune!
Hi Tim, thanks for your lesson, I'm slowly working though it! Which strings do you use? Congratulations on your TE interview!
Hi Raul, I always use these strings:
Elixir 12 - 53 for standard tuning
Elixir 13 - 56 for lower tunings
Good luck!
good

Did you change the way your tutorial videos are shown with the tabs in the video?
@@jose77-v thanks had no idea what happened
Hi Austin! Yes, Brandon is right. Copyright issues forced me to take everything down. I'm currently licensing everything with MusicNotes and whenever that happens I reupload the old tutorial but without the tabs!
Can you do this videos tutorial Habana haba
did you use palm mute in verse 2 for the base sound?
Very little palm muting is used here, I think it only really happens in the bridge parts!
perfect but i need time to learn it, it is not so easy as it looks
Take your time, Radovan! Beginning fingerstyle is demanding in terms of technique, so building it up over time is always the best option!
