Delay is all I can hear.

[TyneGibbs12]

[Esjar207]

[JaMaZz77]

[MarijnvdZaag]

How original...

[pacofdl]

Unbelievable.. Insane..

[rapidfire21]

you were only 13?!?!?!

[luvcomedy123]

this is such a good piece, u did a good job mate!

[vncnzo]

i cant believe you covered initiation! only someone who fully understands his guitar and is in complete sync with it can only play this piece. What an immense achievement man hats off!

[MarijnvdZaag]

It's almost like syncing to a metronome... it's not really the hard part.

This song is about emotion, Tommy Emmanuel's emotion to be more precise. I can't believe he covered Initiation either, but for different reasons... I think this is rediculous.

[kennoshannon]

man this is intense

[boccacgp]

dude, u gotta start writing your own songs...:) and who knows, one day we may play together like two worlds greatest guitarists.lol XD... no kidding man, u r great, keep up with the good work.

[oxstrawberrykissesxo]

i saw this i was there omg wow you are amazing i remember now ! fantastic at ur age then !!!! wow

[shanehennessyguitar]

thats talent

[VirtreousOrKiniko]

That guitar is on drugs. It doesnt know what it wants to be. Is it an instrument, is it the wildernes....

[lfsmwilliamson]

lmao

[conradkleinespel]

Amazing.

[alexmanwoot]

yeah boy!

[klaimeks]

hey there.

Im very much impressed by your performance. I wish i had your skills at that age.

To tell you honest...i want to perform this song on a special gala dinner here in holland. The guy in charge wants to be impressed so i thought, initiation....why not.

I just wonder what kind of rig you use for that sound. Do you use multi effect or just a simple hall delay?

Ill be glad to hear from you.

thx in advance..

Gerrit

[acoustic2rock]

sorry bad english

[acoustic2rock]

this was great. Ever thought about doing a ballad like over the rainbow?

[sabrehagen]

I have, but I always try to pick show pieces. I'd love to play a piece like over the rainbow, but every piece is so epic and its not like you can have 3 on the go at once, they're all so challenging! I really want to learn amazing grace next, would you classify that as a ballad?

[acoustic2rock]

tommy's version I cause that you mean. I see that a bit like a ballad. Hope to see it soon

[bigdood]

Jackson... has Tommy seen this vid? I will be seeing Tommy on Tuesday -- I plan on talking a bit with his manager Gina, and would be happy to pass along the URL if you would like me to. You have found your calling... do not stop playing the guitar ever. I have played acoustic guitar for 44 years and can't come close to that... "Get to Work!" as Tommy would say - and keep posting these vids! 5/5 and saved in the Acoustic Virtuosity archives (channel bigdood). PEACE!

[sabrehagen]

Really? You would be seeing him! "Dood", I would be honored if you could give him the URL to this, and especially me playing "Guitar Boogie". If you could just give Gina/Tommy (if you see him) a bit of an idea of who I am (tell him that I played with him in Australia in Penrith) and maybe even give her the URL to my profile so they can see all my videos I would be in debt to you forever!

[bigdood]

Sure, Jackson... for someone who has worked as hard as you have to perfect your craft, it's no problem at all for me to pass this along to Gina and Tommy on Tuesday night! Peace and good luck to you and your family...

[sabrehagen]

Thankyou my friend, Thankyou...

[bigdood]

Just in case Tommy doesn't have time to go to your URL I downloaded Guitar Boogie and Initiation and put them on a disk with two RARE videos of Lenny Breau (one of Tommy's idols) shot in Nashville in the early 1980s, so I'm pretty sure Tommy will watch the disk! :-) Take care, Jackson, time to take it to the next level! You know what sounds good on a guitar, COMPOSE some original stuff now, and get it on here! You might end up being the next Kieran Murphy, and tour with Tommy someday!

[amigomusica]

Another amazing perform Jackson! I can't believe you're so good! really! But what kind of show is that

SCECGS Redlands Gala Arts? If you had the time, check out my videos!

[sabrehagen]

I'll have a look at your videos now.

Btw, SCECGS Redlands Gala Arts is just a big competition we have at school where the best of the best in music, drama, theatre, vocal solo, etc. Compete. I have won it overall 3 times but won the instrumental section every year. :D

[Atzka]

Hahah me again!! :D but IF i'm not so wrong you've wrote your lastname wrong on the titel of the video? xD But still awesome job with the initiation.. I have thought that this is allmost impossible to play by no one else than Tommy... Seems that I was wrong again :D

[sabrehagen]

Haha, thanks for picking that up, i'll fix it now. It took a bit of time to work out, but once again I had to set the whole effect up by ear and just work it out by listening to the version on his Determination album.

I'm glad I'm up in the select few with Tommy who can play this song! :D
