[lwb193]

I happened across your videos tonight while looking for pointers to improve my version of "Close Your Eyes". Your music touches my heart and is so absolutely beautiful. I needed this beauty in my life tonight. Thanks for your music :)

[ThinkingDog06]

@lwb193 - Thank you for listening and posting such a heartfelt comment. There's nothing better for a musician than hearing you've touched somebody with a piece of music, so again thank you and take care.

[FrankRMusic]

This is really wonderful. You´ve got the touch!

Nice use of the Am in this progression.

Cheers,

Frank

[Bigerjoel]

I especially like the compositions of the guitarists that I discovered on You Tube. This is really great. Full of tenderness and sweetness intensity. A real pleasure.



[ThinkingDog06]

@Bigerjoel - Joel, thanks for listening and for such kind comments!

[teteroom]

I loved this one, better than excellent!!

[gazoscreek]

Love the chord you lift to at the 1:28-1:29 mark ... didn't see that coming at all.

[ThinkingDog06]

@gazoscreek - thanks, not sure how I got there but I was playing around with the notion of using open strings as much as possible and somehow that's where I ended up. Not to geek out too much on it, but it's a form of an Am6/9 chord where the F# note has a strong pull back to the E chord. Anyway ... thanks

[RulerOfTheNeck2345]

hey dude i dont know if you remember me it was about a year ago we met at a hotel in troy after the tommy emmanuel concert i was the guy in the lobey playing the guitar mabey you remeber my father he was the fat bald guy with my and i had the blue cutaway yamaha guitar :) i have to tell you man you have got some musical mind there i hope your doing fairly well

orion

[ThinkingDog06]

@RulerOfTheNeck2345 - thanks for listening and the nice comment... but you've got the wrong guitar player, sorry! The only time I've seen Tommy live was at Pepperdine University earlier this year, no hotel lobby, etc. Again, sorry... but glad you like the song!

[gazoscreek]

Beautiful tribute t-dog # 6. Once again, you hit it out of the park. ( sorry for the gratuitous baseball reference ). The sound is great, you have a great pacing to this tune as well. The hammer-ons, slides ( up and back ), and open string rings are so clean. You have skills, man ... and the videography ... well amazing. - pk.

[ThinkingDog06]

@gazoscreek - thanks, I really appreciate it, your comments mean a lot. Hey, I'm looking forward to the day we can get our Matons together and play some tunes!

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Fantastic composition, playing and extraordinary sound, TD!!! I'm allways so impressed by your videos. Matons are great guitars and your recording quality is one of the best on YT! All thumbs up, my friend, and hopefully there come more soon!

All the best,

your fan,

Bernd

[ThinkingDog06]

@madmikede1 -- thanks for the kind comments. I'm in standard tuning, using a lot of the open E strings (top and bottom) which makes it sound at times like I'm in alternate tuning. Thanks again!

[wwwBrianGancom]

Matons are just awesome, aren't they!

[ThinkingDog06]

@wwwBrianGancom - Brian, yep I've become a big fan of Maton guitars. Thanks for listening and commenting.
