  • @meangene1000 Thats exactly what I was Hoping you'd say! Thank you for taking time to comment! It's Tommy & Chet that inspired me....

    Tommy

  • @tmec52

    The same two individuals inspired me. I was fortunate to meet both. Attended a Tommy guitar workshop last year. Very rewarding! I'm currently trying to get back to playing after a long absence from the instrument. Uploaded a few tunes. My fingers are killing me, but hopefully I'll keep at it. All the best!

  • @meangene1000 Gene, you are so fortunate to have attended a Tommy workshop. He is truly the master of this genre. Keep playing and you will be amazed at what you can do....I am very appreciative that you took time to listen, watch, and comment.

    Have a great year! Tommymec

    Tommy

  • @TheLeprouz

    Thank you for the comments, all the way down this page, every last one! I studied the great Tommy Emmanuel's version and fused it with Chet's...so, no tab available from here, unfortunately..I'm not very proficient at tab and prefer the "ear & sight training". Thank you again and best of luck!

    Tommy

  • This is great, best cover I have heard of this song so far

  • Brandon,

    Thank you for you truly amazing comment, I really appreciate it..but check out Tommy Emmanuel's version, I used his and Chet's to round it out!

    Cheers,

    Tommy

  • I so enjoyed seeing and hearing Tommy Emmanuel's version of this on PBS the other night. I would like to think he, too, would appreciate your version here.

  • Fan,

    I really appreciate the kind words..I would be honored if Tommy Emmanuel would take time to watch this video. He is a true master of the guitar, and the more I watch him, the more I am amazed! Thank you again for commenting and watching.

    Tommy

  • Good job. Well done.

  • Thank you sir, for the nice comment..made my Saturday worthwhile!

    Tommy

  • that was fun! great job!

  • Islandbrah44,

    Thanks for the digital applause..made my day!

    Tommy

  • My wife has screened dozens of YouTube performances of Sukiyaki but yours if by far the best. I'm trying to learn it myself by watching you. Tricky little tune. But beautiful.

  • Bless your wife for sifting through all that video! Its a wonderful tune that people recognize, so its great to play. I learned it from listening to Chet Atkins and more recently, Tommy Emmanuel, and kind of put it together as a hybrid arrangement.

    Thanks for the kind words...I really appreciate them, and good luck with Sukiyaki. Tommy

  • I can't believe that I just came across your music, excellant,it makes my 40yrs of playing look like a

    complete waste of time, but I still love it. Thank you for that tune.

  • Gibsoneer,

    Thank you for the compliments and never, never say that about your playing: Reason being, I say the same thing everytime I find a new MONSTER player on Youtube. Then I kick myself hard for feeling so small and cowboy up and start practicing.. I'm a work in progress!

    Tommy

  • Very nice performance of a very nice arrangement of a very nice song. VERY NICE.  Donna says it's beautiful.

  • Donna,

    Thank you so very much for the beautiful words, and its music lovers like yourself that give me the incentive to learn, and post the tunes! Have a wonderful week, and hope all your dreams come true.

    Tommy

    Tommymec

    Tommy

  • Does anybody know where to find accurate tabs?

    Thank you

  • Beautiful version...i remember hearing this tune on an old 78 record my dad had brought back from Japan when i was a youngster back in the day. BTW You look like a friend i was stationed in Germany with...

    Tommy

  • Fantastic job. You're a Travis-picking machine. Nice and smooth with great definition. 6 stars.

  • Thank you very much for the wonderful compliment! That brings a smile to my face...

    I must say though, that only Chet, Tommy Emmanuel, Doyle Dykes and others of their caliber deserve a "6 Star Rating"...nevertheless, thank you again!!

  • Kandi,

    Bonjour to my Canadian friends! Thank you for spending a few minutes with my video..it means a lot to me!!

    Tommymec

  • That was gorgeous. I was just going to play the first few seconds because I searched "Rode Videomic" but I had to listen all the way through because the song is adorable. Good job and thanks!

  • Shawna, just a note to tell you how happy I was that you listened to the entire song and liked it! By the way, the Rode Videomic is an excellent "inexpensive" way to get good quality sound to the camera. I highly recommend it!
