My dad actually plays this at about half speed cause he's working his way up to it, and in my opinion i think it sounds better a little slower, no doubt an amazing song though

[bluesgurugod]

That's sum crazzzzy speed there! Nice job keeping it all together. Tough tune but you pull it off really swell! Hot dog!

[bigdjindustriez]

Doc Watson did a nice version of this, but this is intense.

[stievelien]

this guy is awesome :D

Fuck all you people that say this is too fast,

he doesnt play to have perfect melody, and perfect sound, he plays what he feels inside him, and what he things is what comes out on the strings.

its much better than anyoe i have ever seen play

Great job man.

awesome dude ) amazing

[RiouxItsMe]

when i'm hearing ''tooooo fast'' i feel jealousy in the air!

[millennium1578]

Not too fast in my opinion, sounds pretty awesome to me the way it is! Great playing man! Definately has a Tommy E feel to it, and I'm sure we can all agree there ain't nothing wrong wit dat.

@millennium1578 It's funny that even before I read your comment, and not long into the performance, I said to myself "WOW! Has Tommy Emmanuel been cloned?"

[halohater9]

too fast my ass.....just cause he can and you cant......

[azahnd82]

This guy has the swagger of Tommy Emmanuel.

[luvcomedy123]

awesome!!

You are right much too fast, Gareth you are a great player but don't loose the groove. Take this advice from an old pro, feel and melody are much more important.

@BINGBOOK

So fast has no feel? Nor melody?

[RogerjTurner]

Too fast - sorry!
