Christmas Guitar Angels We Have Heard

[kenthompson43]

Great tunes Tim

[OysterLava]

Didn't think I was going to like it at first. But dude that's some mighty good pickin!

[Matosch]

0:41 he has the feeling, love him!

[dmarkj22]

I don't know about that fancy intro. Oh and stop looking into the camera dude. Nice work by the way. Merry Christmas

[timthompsonguitar]

@dmarkj22

Thanks! But, the fancy intro stays and I'm not going to stop looking into the camera. Especially now that I know it bugs you!

[LAPUbutsekikMAG]

Mr. Tim Thompson, You are one of the Greatest Guitarists i have heard for this type of Virtuosity that you do = The Guitar sounds like a BAND and it is UNIQUELY YOU and it is very IMPRESSIVE even to Classical Guitar fanatic like 'yours truly' following the footsteps of Andres Segovia, Julian Bkeam, John Williams and other Great Classical Players.

Do you have a music transcription of these wonderful arrangement in 'standard music notation for classical guitar for purchase? ...

Thank You Sir...

[timthompsonguitar]

@LAPUbutsekikMAG Thanks for the kind words!!

[timthompsonguitar]

@LAPUbutsekikMAG

You can get the transcription at outbound music. You'll have to do a search for my name. Tim Thompson

Thanks

Tim

[SuperJ24]

I liked that Tim! Thanks for posting it!

[van1976]

Great interpetation...yeah there are "traditionalists" point of view ( I read some of the comments--they made me laugh), but "they" don't get it.  Sounded "JOYOUS" and a great one for the season.

Great fingerpicking...I'll subscribe.

5*

[MrRay1117]

Is that your own arrangement? It's wonderful! Sounds so nice o the hollowbody, thank you for posting this, it is my favorite Christmas song and I was just looking for one to copy and learn along for the holidays on my nylon string, I think I'll stick with one guy who plays a much easier arrangement on nylon.

Really nice work and arrangement!!!

[beatapt5]

Really impressive from a guitar playing point of view, but like most of you guys that do this, you forgot one thing..... THE SONG! It kinda got lost. Why don't you just do a video of impressive guitar stunts, and forget trying to do music. I know - you don't understand. It shows friend.

[timthompsonguitar]

@beatapt5

First, thank you for including me with others that do this so I don't feel alone.

Second, I'm sure you feel better now!

Third, you're the one who doesn't get it. It's an interpretation of a song. I'm not going to stop doing what I do just because you hate it. At the point in the video where you decided you didn't like what I was doing, you could have shut it off and moved on BUT you obviously don't feel good about yourself and felt the need boost your ego by insulting me!

[beatapt5]

@timthompsonguitar Just being critical. Put your stuff on YOUTUBE and expect it. ON THE OTHER HAND you might take those criticisims and possibly learn something.

[timthompsonguitar]

@beatapt5

You sound like a bitter, critical person.

[beatapt5]

@timthompsonguitar Not bitter, but I'll admit to the critical. Looks as if I did push a button, and I suppose that was my intention all along. Keep doing what you're doing. In the large scheme of things, I'm just a guy who hopefully made you think a little bit. You really are a good player, even though I just didn't care for what you did to the song. You're making like what I think matters, and it shouldn't to you.

[JohnnyBrasco81]

Wow

just simply Wow

[ovation50]

YOU'RE TEARING IT UP MAN!!!! GREAT PLAYING!!!!!!

[BILLYBOBSTUNES]

Beautiful Playing and beautiful sound too Tim. I have a question. I was curious as to ask you if you have tried for a live solo sound either the Bose compact system or the Fishman Solo Amp and what you think of them for a small venue or cafe type performance. or what your advice is. Thanks for sharing your music and your tips Bill

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks for your nice comments! I've not used the Bose. I have used the Fishman. I think for a small setting they work great, like house concerts or a small club, and I mean small. It the place gets too big, they start to sound thin. That's my two cents. Take care!

Tim

[johnhorley]

i love your happy little face when you look at the camera, it makes me smile. good beat to this tune, good on you man

[timthompsonguitar]

I'm glad you think my face is happy! I love playing my guitar for a living! I have a great family. I'm a happy guy!! Later

Tim

[mongopeavey]

I can't believe someone would post that. We're not even worthy to tune his strings.

Brilliant version my man!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thank your for sticking up for me! But no need. I'm glad I look happy. Also, your comment "Brillian version my man!" is very meaningful. As a player, I want to make a connection with people who take the time to listen. You are the man!!

Thanks!

Tim

[mattgonnella]

beautiful

[bgallagher1989]

excellent arrangement my friend, is the sheet music available for purchase?

[kayboo2196]

dang this is amazing i dont play the guitar but i do play the clarinet and i still cant play that good after 4 years

[hellomonkey302]

but then 4 years for clarinet isn't THAT long. Most of my friends back in high school had played for about 7-9 years, and only few of them are really good.

[jcy32763]

REALLY GOOD!!!

[cdmxtec]

dang

[guitarrasco]

Hi Tim, enjoy your playing as always. Just an AMAZING arrangememt. Andres

[electricalparade]

Absolutely beautiful! I want it to be Christmas time now!

[llibmahargtube]

Well now Tim, every time I think I'm getting pretty good on the guitar, I hear someone like you and it makes me realize I can't play the guitar. You make it look so easy.

[PaCobble]

Awesome! Just plain Awesome! JIM

[rikaman27]

Beautiful man...really beautiful :)

[LeDantec14]

Excellent !!!

[sohyun8]

I LOVE this! Great skill and I love the pace!

[VisionsOfCathy]

brilliant!

[pinkheartdolphins]

thats cool

[tennessz]

Great work and thanks to Phil Valentine and Johnny B for turning us on to you.

[SteveAudio]

Lovely! As a guitarist, I'm always looking to expand my knowledge. Do you publish arrangements/tabs?

Fine arrangement; the modulations were unexpected, but very cool.

[C4ppuc1n0]

wow..it's....soooooo amazing.....

[ddanze]

man, that is one UGLY version of it!  Ugh!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Which part did you hate the most?

Tim

[VoxRox1]

@timthompsonguitar Hey Tim, that was a great version. I would like to see if ddanze can do any better, I doubt he can. Being a lead guitar player for many years, I can only wish I could play this style of music, but I really do appreciate the talent and time put in this arrangement.

[ASTRIDCESIA]

LA quiero sacar porfa me podrias mandar las notas

[timthompsonguitar]

I'm so sorry, I can't read spanish. Can you translate for me? Thanks!

Tim

[IruKusI]

You are flippin' awesome. Would you happen to have this tabbed out you could send me? Or some kind of tutorial on how you play it? Also, is this standard tuning? Thanks!!

[mjeproductions]

2 kool 4 school . . . Nice arrangement

[Lipegrelo]

Perfect

I love your song

[AquaGotHax]

Dang, this guys owns at guitar. It's so peaceful I could listen to this forever.

[PaCobble]

Just simply amazing! Love it. Jim

[cadet411]

lovely sound. incredible technique (did you ever play banjo to get those rolls ?)

[bdleasure]

Amazing! Greatly played, I love how ppl can skillfully synchronize the lower strings as a counter-melody with the higher strings for the melody! Truly talented!

[Luke2H]

I want that guitar man such a great sound coming out of that thing.

[hulksmash333]

I'm very impressed. With a bass and a drum kit, there could be an extremely successful album here. I mean, come on, people love this stuff!

[zaktuta]

[KatieTony4ever]

[gummybear2008]

[xguitarxjunkiex]

[TotallyHunt]

I think I heard this exact version of this song on the Dave Ramsey show. Great job!

[timthompsonguitar]

If you heard it on Dave Ramsey, it was me. He's been using my Christmas CD as bumper music. Thanks for listening. Merry Christmas!!

Tim

[Ruthiepie25]

This is my favorite carol. I love your arangement and playing!

[Heartsdonthate]

I've never heard arrangements like yours. There is beauty in the traditional song of course, but maintained that beauty and given it a different life. Your playing is awesome! Your guitar songs great! I wish you great success and abundance in the coming year...you're a joy to listen to! Blessings to you...

[timthompsonguitar]

Thanks so much!!

[ZamarGeetar]

[MNtab99]

Nice arrangement & very well played.

[timthompsonguitar]

Many Thanks!

[MNtab99]

Can I suggest you add the the words Christmas Guitar before the title. I think you'd see a big increase in views. Happy Holidays!!!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thank you, I'll try that!

Tim

[MNtab99]

It looks like that title change really worked. 700+ views in a little over a week! Glad to see your videos are starting to get the exposure they deserve.Happy Holidays!!!

[Qpidon]

Fantastic!

[timthompsonguitar]

Thank You!
