[oldsyphilitic]

Such a beautiful contrast to the usual guitar dross on youtube. Thankyou for your virtuosity!

[SgtCrom]

2 people hurt their fingers trying to play Tim's arrangement and hit the "dislike" button by accident.

[Mandotwang]

Beautiful and funky at the same time--LOVE it!

[GrizzlyvsSilverback]

Wonderful. Wish i could play like you. You have inspired me to learn christmas melodies.

[caty210]

You must be joking JFCLFC95? That's a nice guitar, it looks good and sounds great!

Nice song, any way I can learn to play that?

[sohyun8]

You rock!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks for the kind words! Merry Christmas!

Tim

[guitmartiman]

Wow! 5'd and Fave'd!

[hoppin122plum]

This is better than the Steve Howe's "Clap"! (which this vaguely reminds me of)

[hughman174]

so awesome. one of my favs

[michaelra84]

that was awesome

[FilipinoDude781]

lol im learning to play this song too, but learnt it an hour ago with my guitar teacher, i suck though xD

[MasterQuestLink]

[Tannybou123]

[punk434]

[pingpongpaul111]

wow

[asittingduk]

stevie ouimette's sounds cooler but this is still awesome!

[gabrielvmontane6]

So good were can we get these tabs?

[voltastream]

the green sleeves part was absolutly beautiful.

[NeoO256]

Absolutely amazing.

[Looserkid13]

i could hear this all night. very beautiful.

[wildhoney83]

Tomatoe39 is right. At 1:33, he goes into a bridge that is a Greensleeves melody. It makes for a pretty contrast, actually.

[jeremyjondale]

nice

[tomatoe39]

i heard a serious amount of greensleeves going on.

[richard833]

you heard wrong. really wrong.

[tomatoe39]

no i didnt, at 1.33 its greensleeves.

[richard833]

Nope. Fail.

[distroya49]

You Fail Richard, you douche ;D

[rebekahmiller]

What Child Is This has the exact same melody as Greensleeves

[tomatoe39]

you got pwned.

[timthompsonguitar]

Wow, I really hate to get in the middle of this but yes, I did play "What Child Is This?" and yes that is Greensleeves. However, I don't adhere 100% to the melody. I took some creative liberties. Sorry I started a brawl on Youtube. Merry Christmas!!

Tim

[shibidyhibidy]

wow u tatally raped that song nice job man keep up the great work

[zaktuta]

this man loves the lord to play like this , thats for sure

[timthompsonguitar]

I do! Thanks for the kind words!

[BloodPlusPwn]

@zaktuta

With all-due respect, to play like this takes much more than "loving the lord". Certainly that can be an important inspiration, but give credit where it's due.

This is the result of years of tirelessly honing his skills. Something truly worthy respect and admiration. I've played for about 7 years, while I don't play in this style it's inspirational all the same.

Keep on playing for the Lord, or for the music, the booze or whatever your inspiration if the results end up like this!

[sumadre101]

sweet

[boochibob]

wow

[Incommodo1]

Very well done, great arrangment and great sound ^ ^

[corruptNEURON]

Wow... that was awesome, I hope that someday I'll be able to play like that. Nice work!

[gemaldon]

You will, if you practice a lot and have the determination to do it.

[MarkySamuel]

Awesome...God Bless and Merry Christmas

[taylort599]

Awesome playing man!! Will tell everyone about you! What kind guitar is that?

[timthompsonguitar]

Thank You!!

It's Triggs Arch Top made by Jim Triggs. I'm playing a Taylor T5 in some of my other videos, search for timthompsonguitar and you'll find them. Later

Tim

[MNtab99]

That is a virtuoso performance,Tim!!! Amazing what you did with it.I would again suggest you add Christmas Guitar before the title so people can find it

[timthompsonguitar]

Done. Hopefully, I'll get more hits. Thanks again for the kind words!!

[Heartsdonthate]

That was the coolest arrangement I've ever heard of a traditional carol! Awesome work on the guitar. What tuning are you using? Doesn't sound like standard. Anyway, you are a beautiful player and bring life to an old hymn like We Three Kings! Peace...

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks again for the kind words!

The tuning is drop D (The low E string is tuned down 1 step)As you can see, I'm using a capo on the second fret. I like how the guitar sounds and responses to my playing for these tunes.

[dlagrua]

With talent like that it is a surprise that Tim is not better known.

[timthompsonguitar]

Hi dlagrua: Thank you!

[ZamarGeetar]

Tim - you are one incredible guitarist! Great job!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

[Gtrmaestro]

Awesome as always Tim!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks! God Bless and Merry Christmas
