- I had some requests to publish a tutorial of Tommy Emmanuel's song "Halfway Home." I would love your comments. Please find Tommy's tutorial on this song through "True Fire" videos and let him teach you as well. Enjoy! Ed
Thank you Ed for taking time to show us.
I’m sure happy this could help you, most of the mechanics of the song are there but not TEs nuances
Thanks Ed, your lessons are the best on line. I've been playing for over 50 years and have only recently started to learn some Tommy Emmanuel tunes. Your method of teaching is great - You help unravel the tricks and techniques that make this music inspiring, beautiful and complicated. Many thanks (PS, wife bought tickets to do a tour of the Maton factory in Melbourne in a couple of weeks - looking forward to it), cheers, Dave Reid
Dave Reid That’s exciting Dave I’m sure you will have a great time touring the factory. Thanks for your comment and you’re very generous praise.
Excellent tutorial
Thanks Mate!

Great Lesson Ed and thanks for the tab Mitch
Thanks Brian
Truly a magnificent tune ! as are virtually ALL of TE's arrangements/songs. I've been working on this one a while & can finally play it pretty smoothly in a bit of a modified/my own way. It really took some effort, I've been playing for 40+ years but never played with a thumb pick nor in this "boom chick"/Nashville finger/thumb picking style. Had I already been at least a little familiar with that particular style I might have came a bit easier. Anyway, You are more fluent in it than me, but I'm quite sure from the true fire tut vids of his on this tune that I seen & just via ear of ANY of his other performances of it, that you need to double up on the frequency/speed of those D octaves in the verses, if you know what I mean, like @ 5.30 there is no pause in the bass, the octaves are played(twice as often) over the 2 highest notes too. I only mention it because I just think its pretty important to be as faithful to the song as possible & I was doing the same exact thing at 1st. It creates a very interesting alternating timing syncopation when you finally get it. btw as I'm sure you know almost ANY of his songs have so many little subtle nuances/dynamics & things that hardly anybody plays them 100% accurate, even Tommy himself changes them up from performance to performance. However, what I'm referring to is a slightly more basic thing so I thought it was worth mentioning. Anyway It takes quite a bit of skill & courage to post a TE TUT...... so.....Nice job ! & Thanks for the very useful content.
realcygnus Thank you my friend, yes I have to adapt to fit my abilities and limitations. Thanks for encouraging words. I'll take a deeper look at that part. Thanks again, and God Bless. Ed
Ed very well now i hope to learn it :-)
Thanks, you should be able to get the mechanics of it
Oh thank you very much for this tutorial!
I need a capo for play in F =]
Thanks for listening. I use the Planet Waves NS aluminum capo. You can buy through Musician's Friend.
Thanks brother!
Hey Ed, I found a way around having to stretch the index finger all the way to the third fret at the start of the verse. I just use my index and middle finger for the chord and slide my little finger up to the 8th fret and use that instead. it works all the way down the neck for the rest of that lick as well. Thanks for the lesson. Best on out there.
Brian McCarthy thanks so much for the info. I appreciate you giving this a go. great song indeed. Ed

How are you add Hope all is well happy worth of July hope all is well with you and your family God bless
Thanks Jr!
what is the bass line for the chords you're playing at 8:30?
Hi Bryce,
from capo. positions 5th string B to Bb, 6th string F# to E, G, G, F#, F, E to open A
hope this helps. Ed
+MrGibbyguy what strings is your thumb hitting ? is it like a back and forth between the E and D string ?
Hi Brice, Yes when playing the Bm shape then the F#/Bb shape play Alternating bass from the 5th to 4th strings. Then when next shape is D2/F# Alternating bass from 6th string to 4th string through the rest to the Em7 shape. Once the open 4th string (D) comes in to play - that is the constant through all this alternating bass line to the Em7.
ON the video, I play it pretty sloppy right there and probably don't explain it well. Thanks for mentioning it. Ed
+MrGibbyguy thank you !
