The beginning actually is simple if you're an advanced guitar player. Watching a Tommy Emmanuel tutorial as an amateur guitarist would just be stupid ;)
Well, that is quite simple :p Only play the fast part over and over again very slowly untill youll be accurate and clean and then try faster, untill you reach the original speed. The part after the fast one is totally newb :)
Hang on Tommy, can you show me that again, one more time, hang on,,,,,,i think i have it, hang on, lets try this one more time,,,, wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dropped my pick
he's a shockingly good teacher. Often when someone is this terrific at what they do, they can't bring it down to my idiot level so I get it. TE makes me get it.
easy notes, BUT SOOOO TASTY SOUND! THIS GUY IS SO COOL

@aubie0071971 My thoughts exactly! Not that it's not a great idea IF you can do that, but that's a big IF.

There isn't a single live performance on youtube from Tommy Emmanuel where he plays a bum note, the guy plays every song perfectly, every time

You're playing this after a year?
You are the greatest guitarist that ever lived.
Perfect hammers, precision muting and a Merle Travis E major using the second finger to cover 2 strings?
Well done!

Actually it isn't so hard as it looks! :)
Playing 1 year now, already can play it.
Not quite the tempo that Tommy plays it ofc, im just a tiny bit to slow at the 'piano riff thing'

It is quite simple but that dosen't make it easy! Its the little dim chord thing he does at the end I thought he could elaborate a bit more on that.
