Why do you think? There are talented musicians today, too. It's important for young people to get knowledge of the old music... this is a problem, BUT videos like this can bring a change. Hey, why don't you open a channel to show young musicians the retro sounds, too... ?! ;-)
Not an experienced guitar player. But when I here something I love, I practice for days until I have it. I fortunately am able to pick up things very quick. Now I can add this to my repituor of songs too difficult for me to know, with dust in the wind.
Get you the song "one last breath" it's a modern(er) song that most will immediately recognize, and it's only got like 3 different parts, and sounds WAY more complicated than it actually is
I had heard this song before somewhere, a movie perhaps. Stumbled across it by pure chance a few days ago and was absolutely obsessed with it. There's something magical about this song , either way I've been playing this non stop until I've got it down . So thank you for making these tabs they're perfect.

Hello Tom...I started playing again after decades because of this fantastic arrangement! I finally learned this after a month but will never sound as good as you do; I say not bad for a 69 year old and a great teacher from New England! Born in Vermont 1949 here! Unchained Melody next! Thank you again.
2:06 RRIIITTTCCHHIIIIEEE. All jokes aside man awesome cover. The reason i play guitar was because of La Bamba and this song. Saw it as kid and fell in love with the music and instrument. Your rendition is so close to pedal steel and i'm digging that subtle slap back reverb/echo!
Thanks for doing this . You have the most accurate version I came across on RUclips. I’ve basically been teaching myself this song but your tutorial will perfect what I’ve fumbled through
Same as me man, yesterday I tried to play it and when I saw I could play it I was really shocked because I realized how much I've improved since I picked up the guitar.
Beautiful. Honestly, I find the last three chords at the end the most difficult of the entire song, because they're unlike any I've previously used before. Love the content, man, keep it up!
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching this song. I think I’ve tried to learn this for years. This is the first lesson it clicked and I am great full for this. I even purchased your backing track. I’m a huge fan of surf rock. The first song I ever learned on guitar was Gloria and Walk Don’t Run.
Played rhythm to this song in the 60's in our garage band. Knew just a little of the lead and now you have inspired me to learn the rest of it. I hope I can eventually play it as good as you and my lead player did. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this! Always wanted to learn this song, seemed way too hard, but thanks to your tabs I'm going to practice this until I can play it. Great work
I just ordered a Gretsch Electromatic 5420, and it's scheduled to be delivered two days from now. This will be the first tune I learn to play on it. Well done, as always, Tom -- thanks for the inspiration!
But this song is really a simple song. But this guy is not playing it so simple. He is playing it fairly intermediate. Guitar playing can get fairly complex. But even this is not complex. That's why I respect good musicians. Dedication is the magic word. What I'm trying to say is, don't get discouraged. With practice it becomes easier. That's why they say. Practice makes perfect. It really does. This song is worth your time and effort. Really.
Well done, Tom! I took what you showed me here and substituted some chords where there were single melody lines and came up with a slightly different arrangement. Many thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to tucking into some of the other tunes you have on your channel.
Thanks Mr. Conlon...I bought and downloaded the backing track and watched the video, it really helped me alot..now all I do during this lockdown is play this song over and over..I think I'll download some other backing tracks soon :)
Does anyone have any advice for @ 0:24 ? I can’t seem to get my fingers in a comfortable and good sounding position (I’m not an expert, I’m just starting out) 😊
Oh man I was just scrolling through the comments thinking that besides the original Jeff Beck and and Tom are the best versions.Jeff's take on "A Day in the Life" is also quite a standout version. But I'm getting off track now.
I gotta get some p-90's on something ! thanks I bought the tab by the way...great lesson. I've been trying to play this by ear for a long time...I can remember when it was out on American Bandstand...loved it then and now.
This song goes down into the core of being... It is the beauty of life and death. Aching for something. Only to lose it all as it slips right through our fingers
Nice job. Beautiful sounding guitar. I like how you bring more of Ritche Valens feel. Keep it up.. you are very close to Hank Marvin of The Shadows. Hank is the master of this style.
Sweet! This is exactly the lesson I was hoping to find! Thank you for saving me a buttload of time...nice touch, you got that classic sound. I'm subscribing
You don't hear enough of Santo and Johnny these days although their recordings are still available on CD or as mp3 download. Much underrated. Excellent and subtle use of the vibrato arm in this one, Tom. Nice one.

One of the most romantic, magical, and haunting tunes ever
Check out deftones covers of sleep walk.
It’s cool how he dream about this song and made it
Thank you. Thank you very much.
You nailed it!!
I dont know if i feel it as romantic, i feel it as nostalgic sad song, magical but sad song for me, I dont know why
Im 54 and just picked up a guitar 6 months ago. Thank you for this. It makes me want to continue on my journey.
Hope you are enjoying being a musician. It's never too late and it never ends ... Thanks for being my inspiration to practice tonight.
Thats great :-) have a good time!
This is how every guitar instruction video should be. Straight to the point. No fluff. No bs chatter. Thank you.
RITCHIEEEEEEEEEE
Jajajajajajaja te la mamaste!
Lovevit
Love it
Santo and Johnny made the song.
@@ediehunter1563 ohhhhhhhhhh that makes sense
Was in bands back in the sixties, Never had more fun watching and playing along with the music on your site. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much!
So you watched him play in the 60s?
I’m jealous.
Aww lucky i wish I lived back then because they had better music, love was better it was just nice living
I AGREE and absolutely true
I'm 72 years old and this tune still haunts me.😊
Now I might be able to play it!
Thank you so much my friend 👍😊
There will never be music like this again
Be the change u want to see in this world

@@laundry1799 You're right.
There is music like this still
Yes there will. Albatross came along decades after sleep walk and there will be others. Because there will always be music. So be happy and positive.
3 years of practice later I can finally play this song
Great!

So thank you for making these tabs they're perfect.
I've wanted to know how to play this for 20 years, the tabs I always found were single note tabs that I knew wasn't the "real" way, thanks for posting

I’m supposed to be doing homework due 2 days ago and here I am just admiring his playing

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Santo&Johny what a classic!

Perfect ! Remember Marvin and Nokie.. fundamental masters !
Thanks for doing this . You have the most accurate version I came across on RUclips. I’ve basically been teaching myself this song but your tutorial will perfect what I’ve fumbled through
That’s great, glad it’s helping and thank you!
I do not see how haters even hate this it's perfect for teaching thanks.
Thanks!
Such a beautiful song. Never thought when I first picked up a guitar I'd be able to play something like this!
Thanks mate.
Same as me man, yesterday I tried to play it and when I saw I could play it I was really shocked because I realized how much I've improved since I picked up the guitar.
What a great rendition of one of the best pieces of music ever made. Your version really captures the original vibe. Thank you so much!
"Not my Ritchie ... Oh god bob not my Ritchie"
ok now im sad
“RITTCHIEEEEEEE!!!!”
jajajajaja so good
RITCHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Vincent Mileto it was in at the beginning and at the end
after 2 months of practice, i'm nearly there, only think missing is playing it fluently! Great videos Tom, love them !
Glad the videos are helping!
Even tho I can't play it flawless rn, I can proudly say I learned it, yippie, thanks again, it was quite soulful
Tom you are the master of chord changes.
Thanks so much! My dad really wanted me to learn this song and he was happy
Your the best! Wonderful rendition of "Sleepwalk." Thank you for the wonderful memories.
best guitar adaptation for this song. thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Magic Tunes never to be repeated a formula one of a kind .Great playing Tom.
Beautiful job. Captures the wonderful fluid element that makes it such a great guitar piece. Terrific!!

Thanks, it’s a Jazzmaster. Easy to confuse them. 😊
Reverb on 8

I just installed a Bigsby B3 on my SG, and this was the first song that I wanted to learn. Thanks, Tom!
Riffman42 Great, enjoy!

Thanks for posting as this helped me tremendously on the last three chords....SUPER !
Thanks for watching!
After learning this Over a year ago I've come back to say I mastered this song.
Loved that rendition. 10/10
Thank you 😊

Amazing job with transcribing this, the feel. vibrato and scrolling the tab. Appreciate the all the time and effort!
Thank you for watching!
Great work 👌👌 I’m learning this song through your video!! Thx for the help!!

Man!! I could watch you all day!
I love this tune and your playing; perfect. This was a slow dance tune (Ventures) when I was a teenager, Great job Tom!
Thank you!
Que de plaisir de recevoir cette musique qui a bercé notre jeunesse merci
This is sooo nice! Love just listening, thank you!
This is how we found your channel. Love the video layout.
I love this song....I don't want to learn it.
It would lose something, if that makes sense♥
Yes, but it’s so worth it!
I so know what you mean
yeah, learning a song sometimes takes the magic out of it.
If you love music and food, stay out of music schools and kitchens.
I know what you mean.
But this song is really a simple song. But this guy is not playing it so simple. He is playing it fairly intermediate. Guitar playing can get fairly complex. But even this is not complex. That's why I respect good musicians. Dedication is the magic word.
What I'm trying to say is, don't get discouraged. With practice it becomes easier. That's why they say. Practice makes perfect. It really does. This song is worth your time and effort. Really.
I wish I had a whammy bar to get the full experience, but this is amazing.
Thank you
Thanks for the tabs. Very helpful for learning this gem. You played it flawlessly!
Well done, Tom! I took what you showed me here and substituted some chords where there were single melody lines and came up with a slightly different arrangement. Many thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to tucking into some of the other tunes you have on your channel.
Chris Maddox Great, Thank you so much!
Really, I’m fan ! You’re staying on the same level as Elvis in my heart… and my guitar ! :-)
El mejor cover que he visto para esta canción. Muchas gracias

Beautifully Played ! Love to hear the harmonized chords instead of single notes. Thank you.
That was....beautiful
Thanks!
Thanks a lot. I'll learn it this afternoon. This is a great one.
Excellent tutorial!!!!! 👍 👍 🎸 🎸
Luis Burgos thank you!
Nicely played and love the Jazzmaster. 👍
I'm a bit late, but how do you get your guitar to produce that noise? Is it a footswitch? Sorry, I'm a bit newer to the guitar
Oh my gosh. Thank you. You made this so much easier.
Does anyone have any advice for @ 0:24 ? I can’t seem to get my fingers in a comfortable and good sounding position (I’m not an expert, I’m just starting out) 😊
Dude it’s like a C7 shape
Practice
Lmao the comment was four years ago and the replies are so recent 😭
You made that peculiar appliance youre holding sound like a real guitar, Tom. Well executed, sir.
Great playing and nice tone my friend. Next to Jeff Beck's version this is my second fav. - and that says a lot!
Oh man I was just scrolling through the comments thinking that besides the original Jeff Beck and and Tom are the best versions.Jeff's take on "A Day in the Life" is also quite a standout version. But I'm getting off track now.
