Very good job of playing the guitar. Many people have tried to compare to Tommy as a player but not many have gotten quite as far as you have. Would you please tell me where you got the tabs from so I could try too.
Thanks jazzinc. Do you know anything about the azden sgm 1x mic? I am debating over the rode and the azden. Also what software did you use for the reverb? Thanks again and keep on posting videos!!!!!!!!!!
Hi jazzinc. Very very very nice cover. I think you are the 2nd best player of this song here on youtube other than tommy emmanuel himself. One question, did you use a rode videomic and did you use any effects such as reverb? Thanks!
@gavenid Hi Gavenid. Wow thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I used the Rode Videomic straight into the cheap-o Panasonic video mic. The compression is from the videocamera and I did add a hint of Reverb later
@FrancisFurtak Hey I didn't try to spam anyone . Computer glitch? Hey you really are quite good . If you have the chance check out my one video on the tube. FF
Let me tell you brother that the ryan sounds so good It will make the angels cry. I don't have enough money to buy the case for it. But would sure like to have one. You did a great job on the song. Tommy E. is my favorite acoustic guitar player. He is amazing, and for that matter so are you. How long have you been playing? I have been playing off and on for over 40 years and I don't come close to you. Great job and keep up the fantastic work.
@dragonass77 Thanks. I have been playing on and off for about 20 years, mostly off though. Then in 2003 I saw Tommy and got serious about the guitar and started playing finger-style. Got an entry-level Taylor acoustic and went from there.
Hi JazzInc, firstly I would like to tell you that THIS is one of the fest versions of this song I've ever heard. Trying to learn it for two months already. :-)
I just want to ask you for something - how exactly do you play the flageolets in 1:50? It simply too fast to catch it.....
thanks! Check out my video 'how to Play artificial harmonics' that'll teach you all you need to know. I just bar at the second fret and pick the harmonics and open strings. My video tutorial explains it all.
Thank you for your tip, it's a very useful tutorial, I have much to learn now. :-) But actually, I know HOW to play it, I just don't know WHICH strings you play at this part. You're simply too fast. :)
@TheMarsyas1 Ok, that's a harmonic over the 14th fret of the 6th (low e) string, then the 'open` 3rd (G) string fretted on the 2nd fret , then a harmonic over the 14th fret of the 5th string, then the 'open' b (2nd) string, then a harmonic over the 14th fret of the 4th (d) string) and 'open` 1st (e) string, then a harmonic over the 14th fret on the 3rd (g) string. and then play the last bit on the 1st (high E) string that ends in a slide upwards
I enjoy your videos very much. I remember when you received that Ryan and you are doing well with it. Everything I heard from you so far is from TE. I've seen your posted pics when you took your amazing Ryan out of its case for the first time. Beautiful instrument it is for a very good player you are. The first title I heard from you is Amy and you had me discovered TE then. I never left TE since. Isn't it fun when you can achieve one of his piece from one end to the other.
Very nice ; ) I just learned this from watching you..love Tommy too. I'm just learning about computers and want to download some songs...could you share with me what set-up you are using for audio and video, and the connections to computer? I would be grateful....nice Nightingale too..have you had it long? I'm playing a Martin dreadnaught now but auditioning some others for fingerstyle....thanks for the help..
Beautiful playing and love your version as much or more than Tommy's. Any chance you know where I could get the sheet music for this arrangement? I've searched the web and can't find it.
*haha* keep tapping that foot! I had the same thing! Funny, but I head to teach my left foot rhythm, and sometimes my right foot just wants to play along.
Mijn oprechte complimenten!! Ik heb al een aantal van jou YOU TUBE gitaar stukken bewonderd! Je bent 1 van de weinige in Nederland die Tommy Emmanuel op een goede manier weet te benaderen. En er zijn zoveel goede gitaristen. Dus keep on goin'..... gr. just another guitar player.
you took 2 months butt it sound exxellent ive been working on it 2 day now I canplay it already Im 18 too:p butt still its a bit rough yours sound super clean I am gonna puitt it on my youtube account when its cleaned :p
" It's not quite there yet but I'm working on it" Wow my friend, this is not 'quite there yet', then I am still lightyears away... This was truly amazing and a worthy cover of Tommy Emmanuel..!
wow. not sure if you know the song 'those who wait' by mr. emmanuel, but that song took me like 6 months and its still not perfect. im hoping to get more skilled in the art of learning songs.
Awesome execution of this song of Tommy's. I jsut started working on this song and your video is helping with those "obscure" chord progressions that Tommy (and you) use to create that amazing effect. Thank you so much.
Thanks man, all because of the Rode Videomic you see in the bottom of the screen. Then a quick noise touch-up in Adobe Audition and you're good to go!
Thank you Thomas, it's a great and rewarding song to learn and it's a real crowd pleaser. That's why it's my most popular video.
The harmonics with a thumbpick are both hard and easy. They're easy because you get the best attack, but hard because it's hard to strike the string cleanly with it, as you can see in the video :D
Hey man .. nice job .. I can't decide which version of this song I like better, yours or Tommy's... I was wondering if you had a tab for this song? I've looked everywhere for a tab for this song ..
You must have giant fingers. At 00:18 you stretch from the 2nd fret to the 7th. That is physically impossible for me even with capo up one (I normally play standard 1/2 step down). And I have big hands . . .
*haha* I am 6'7, so I do have larger than average hands, but I couldn't make that stretch at first either. I had to practise a lot. Besides, Tommy Emmanuel does it too and he has normal hands. Watch your wrist angle and the position of your thumb. The rest is practice.
I have puny Asian hands. I can't reach it either. So Instead I tapped the G. Or you can move the position of the chord with your thumb up to push down the lower E on the fifth fret; middle finger to push the A the seventh fret; ring finger to push the D on the seventh fret; index finger to push the G on sixth; and your pinkie on the high E on the seventh fret.
It's the same chord. If you opted for this option you have to throw out the slide you make from barring the DGBE from the second fret to fourth and back. It sounds complicated but it's really not. You just need agility, which you'll get from practice.
hey that was great i havent heard that song before i would like to try to play that , where do i look for the tab or sheet music . lets hear some more
Hi, First my compliments you play fine and preciscely. But i have a question. I'm now starting with tommy emmanuel music. I first learned some Harry Sacksiony. I know it's hard studying but how did you managed it. I'm going to start with borsalino and next I will be starting with saltwater because these songs have not i think the most difficult techniques of tommy. (i come from holland)
well, I don't know if I did anything special. The only thing is to keep at it and don't get discouraged (play every day if you can) and you'll get there. If I can, you can, believe me. Saltwater and Borsalino are fine songs, but there may be easier ones to start with, like 'stay close to me'.
Dank je voor je aanmoediging. Ik heb nu 2 nummers in mijn repetoire van harry sacksioni: goofy en meta sequoia. En dit zijn al aardige pittige nummers, misschien ken je ze. Maar Waar ik zo'n problemen mee heb is die groote spanwijdte van de 2e fret met je wijsvinger en de 7e fret met je pink. Doe je vingerjoga en oprekkingsoefeningen?
Nee, die nummers ken ik niet, zal ik eens opzoeken. Ik doe verder geen rekoefeningen. Ik heb vrij grote handen, maar ik heb het ook moeten oefenen door te spelen. Eerst ging het lastig met veel van Tommy's grepen en naar verloop van tijd ging het veel gemakkelijker.
its really nice to see that someone can play Tommy Emmanuel's song as good as he does :)
but, some things that caught my attention.
put more emotions in the song youre playing :) right now it all sounded very good, but very..boxed. play with the melodoy more, make it yours, play slower and then faster,gentlier and then stronger.
wow thats amazing sound for a video camera microphone, sounds like it was ment for instruments. do you know of any microphones for recording guitars that you recomend?
the Rode Videomic is an all-round mic and it is great for a quick-n-dirty video recording. For more serious studio stuff Rode has the NT4 for stereo recording and I like a Large Diaphragm condensor so the N1a and even better the Rode K2 are incredible mics for the money. If you can only have one studio mic, get the K2 with the warm valve tone and the adjustable pick-up pattern. For serious stereo recording I would suggest a matched pair of Microtech Gefell M300s. They are incredible
Joost man... I don't know how many of your videos I have on my favourites list, but they're there for an obvious reason. Your playing is incredible, the notes sound crystal clear, and the pace is perfect. Nice choice of songs as well! Enough is enough, my cheap old Morgan can't be dusting away in the corner after hearing this tune.
Cheers, and keep up the phenomenal work! :-) 5 Stars *****
Love the tone and the pace. You have excellent skills and really make the song beautiful. Guys like you do more than entertain you inspire. As a long time picker I know how hard it is to get from struggle thru a song to being able to play it with real feeling. My hat is off to you.
I think I have listened to your version of Saltwater now for about the thirtieth time. You play it so cleanly that I think I have come to prefer it to Tommy's. Outstanding job! Thank you for the wonderful music!
Hey ... thanks for posting ... so nice ... mate you have a touch ... enjoying every note ... keep em coming ... making my tough day already better ... ah ... now that's what good music is supposed to do ...
Keep working on it. I find if I relax myself and don't worry if it sounds right or I make the stretch it eventually comes. Big stretch in Chet Atkins "Vincent" I can now do it 90% of the time. I remind myself constantly to play relaxed and don't force anything. This helps alot. Good luck.
Dude, SWEEET!

I'm going to start with borsalino and next I will be starting with saltwater because these songs have not i think the most difficult techniques of tommy. (i come from holland)
Greets and succes,
Benny

Hi Benny,
well, I don't know if I did anything special. The only thing is to keep at it and don't get discouraged (play every day if you can) and you'll get there. If I can, you can, believe me. Saltwater and Borsalino are fine songs, but there may be easier ones to start with, like 'stay close to me'.

Dank je voor je aanmoediging. Ik heb nu 2 nummers in mijn repetoire van harry sacksioni: goofy en meta sequoia. En dit zijn al aardige pittige nummers, misschien ken je ze. Maar Waar ik zo'n problemen mee heb is die groote spanwijdte van de 2e fret met je wijsvinger en de 7e fret met je pink. Doe je vingerjoga en oprekkingsoefeningen?
jomabe88 4 years ago
Nee, die nummers ken ik niet, zal ik eens opzoeken. Ik doe verder geen rekoefeningen. Ik heb vrij grote handen, maar ik heb het ook moeten oefenen door te spelen. Eerst ging het lastig met veel van Tommy's grepen en naar verloop van tijd ging het veel gemakkelijker.

its really nice to see that someone can play Tommy Emmanuel's song as good as he does :)
but, some things that caught my attention.
put more emotions in the song youre playing :) right now it all sounded very good, but very..boxed. play with the melodoy more, make it yours, play slower and then faster,gentlier and then stronger.
otherwise, like said, very good :)

what kind of mic is that your using?

It's a Rode Videomic going into my very basic panasonic camcorder

wow thats amazing sound for a video camera microphone, sounds like it was ment for instruments. do you know of any microphones for recording guitars that you recomend?
NES088 4 years ago
the Rode Videomic is an all-round mic and it is great for a quick-n-dirty video recording. For more serious studio stuff Rode has the NT4 for stereo recording and I like a Large Diaphragm condensor so the N1a and even better the Rode K2 are incredible mics for the money. If you can only have one studio mic, get the K2 with the warm valve tone and the adjustable pick-up pattern. For serious stereo recording I would suggest a matched pair of Microtech Gefell M300s. They are incredible

Joost man... I don't know how many of your videos I have on my favourites list, but they're there for an obvious reason. Your playing is incredible, the notes sound crystal clear, and the pace is perfect. Nice choice of songs as well! Enough is enough, my cheap old Morgan can't be dusting away in the corner after hearing this tune.
Cheers, and keep up the phenomenal work! :-) 5 Stars *****

Love the tone and the pace. You have excellent skills and really make the song beautiful. Guys like you do more than entertain you inspire. As a long time picker I know how hard it is to get from struggle thru a song to being able to play it with real feeling. My hat is off to you.

I think I have listened to your version of Saltwater now for about the thirtieth time. You play it so cleanly that I think I have come to prefer it to Tommy's. Outstanding job! Thank you for the wonderful music!

Tried to play this song, but I just can't stretch my fingers from 2nd to 7th fret :/
Pellekasa 5 years ago
Keep working on it. I find if I relax myself and don't worry if it sounds right or I make the stretch it eventually comes. Big stretch in Chet Atkins "Vincent" I can now do it 90% of the time. I remind myself constantly to play relaxed and don't force anything. This helps alot. Good luck.
