Tommy Emmanuel - Welsh Tornado 19/06/09 Sydney

[Powerslider]

The only question left: can Gareth play this??

[newnoggin2]

He wrote this about Gareth Pearson from Wales. Check him out, he is a great young player.

[IxFrozenxl]

1:28 Holy shit, Sweet picking an acoustic in the middle of a fingerstyle song..

[CirqueEnvol]

Did someone miss the LIKE button??? Come on... how can you NOT like this... That key change with the capo is soooo Tommy!!! By the way, The Welsh Tornado is Gareth Pearson - check him out on YouTube, I guarantee you'll become a fan!!

[riciy]

whats that scribble with the four points on the guitar, under the fretboard? "play here"? :D

[azahnd82]

That poor guitar. It was just laying in its case all cozy. Suddenly, footsteps were approaching. It then thought, "oh $#!7...here comes Tommy."

[Anielover]

Damn, I always watch to Tommy´s vids., then I´m sad I´ve seen them all ... I wish I can meet him one more time ... He is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this

[ZeBigStrat]

do you know how this guy was able to see tommy's sound check? does he work there?

[Saendar]

Most gigs you can go early and meet Tommy - email his manager and get details of the "meet and greet"

[ZeBigStrat]

@Saendar hey thanks a lot! I just got a response from his manager and I will be meeting him on may 16th in montreal!

Gareth told me he used to tell Tommy about boxing matches he would watch, one boxer in particular he reallys liked (can't remember the name of the guy)..the way Gareth described Tommy got the title, is if Gareth were a boxer, Tommy would bill him " The Welsh Tornado"

[Tenntoad]

The tune is named aptly, as it's for Gareth Pearson.

[DocSixString]

Ah i never knew that!! makes so much sense now!! thx. i was just looking at the chords thinking joe robinson or gareth would do that!! can anyone find the song which i think is called 'picking up the smarties' or m&ms maybe. one of gareths that he wrote because of meeting tommy.

[Tenntoad]

Yep..."M&M's"

[DocSixString]

do you know where to find it??

[TenacMarke]

I think there's very little people that could play this song cleanly everytime. Tommy even improvises few little stuffs inside...

[bigdood]

I think he played this one at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society on Thursday, and I wondered WHAT THE HECK it was... THANK YOU for filling in that missing piece of the musical puzzle in my muddled brain! :-)

[Saendar]

Haha yeh it's got to be the wackiest piece he's written yet. I love it! And the change at 1:17 is so Tommy...

[mycheesedguitar]

Did he play this at the actual concert?

I don't remember...=/

BUT GAHHH... IF ONLY I CAME AN HOUR EARLIER....
