Antonella's Birthday (Tommy Emmanuel)

[iJozzHD]

you sir have talent. Extraordinary talent!!!! keep up the good work!!

[Jkaterchannel]

Hey, Pascal! Great rendition (as always). I see you even play it with a plectrum like tommy. I am presently learning that piece but I can't play with a plectrum to save my life so I resorted to play it fingerstyle. It changes the sound somehow. I still need to record it properly with an acoustic but I'm getting there. Thanks for sharing this. I'm a huge fan of yours. :)

[MrJackchap]

Pascal, beautiful and flawless playing...that is not an easy song and you nailed...

[JGpicker]

Joli boulot pour un superbe morceau de TE.

Bravo

Jacques

[DieAusWinsen]

Oh, I love this tune and you make it look so easy.

Thank you! :)

Judith

[bayview63]

love this song have a listen to mine let me know what you think

[bayview63]

good job. i tried this song also it's a very tough song. tommy makes it look easy 5*

[Alwongayem]

Wow! Fantastic. I wish I could do the same even half of it. I've just learned Since we met and am starting to learn this one. Thanks for posting your own performance.

[121jigawatts]

I hear no problems with this cover whatsoever. A true artist is his own worst critic as they say. A simply gorgeous aural rendition of an already brilliant composition from the great acoustic master, Emmanuel!

[abefroman007]

Great playing. That sounds wonderful.

[cfmartin09]

rhetoric, and sure.

[cfmartin09]

you've got all the parts, now for some rhythm

[ThinkingDog06]

Well done -- wonderful feel and great sound. Very impressive. This is one I'm going to try/attempt/struggle to learn. Again, fantastic job -- thanks for posting.

[Qpidon]

I'm pretty sure you'll do just fine (after I watched your "drivetime") this will be a walk in the park for you ;)

It liiks and sounds harder that it realy is.!

Good luck,

Pascal

[dilkul]

Fantastic...that's one of the songs i play in my dreams...i would simply love to be able to play it half as well as you one day. You've got all the notes down very well, the only thing you could perhaps improve slightly is your tempo in the verses- i think you rush them a bit and end up playing them faster than tommy emmanuel does! Again, that was absolutely fantastic...

[Qpidon]

If I can do it (more or less) you certainly can to!

Pascal

[Mirkogibson]

complimenti sei bravissimo! I Love Music Tommy Emmanuell... ottima interpretazione

[ScottNCGP]

Otra vez... Fantastic. My last account was closed down due to a video uploaded ages ago... So my videos were removed. Volvere a subir los. Gracias. (Scottjpw)

[scottyjpw]

Fantastic! That was brilliant! Gracias por tu comentario en mi video Mona Lisa. Saludos.

[fngrpckr]

Beautiful! You do a great job on this!

[erickahg1]

Wow, another great one!

[hatinana87]

beautifl sound！

[littleone7788]

cest pas mal mais pas dans le tempo, dommage! tas aucune excuse je lai apprise hier en une journée et jy arrive sans probleme.. juste un peu de mal sur les harmonics à la fin (7-5-7-12-7-12-7-12-7-12-0.. etc) mais peut-être que si tu utilisais un fampick tu y arriverais mieux! bonne continuation!

[emreyazgin]

Excellent playing, well done. Is this the DI output of the guitar we are listening?

[Bluesguitarman64]

I like it very much !

Excellent !

Rob

[Shirmia]

Cuanta concentración!!!

Felicitaciones!!!

[Shaiway]

Waouh ! Very well played ! Good job.

[Daeteger]

I love this song ! And you play it very well : good job *****

[Qpidon]

Merci mon Grand;-)

J'adore ton jeux égallement. Dommage que tu habitte si loin...tu passe jamais par l'Espagne, des fois? ;)

[Daeteger]

J'y suis passé l'été dernier pour aller au Maroc.

Mais cette année je n'ai pas prévu de passer par l'Espagne ;-)

[BeatleLike16]

牛人天天有 今天特别多

[Qpidon]

translation, anybody? :)

[BeatleLike16]

it's means bravo, you're just amazing,how long you've been play guitar?I just learnt it about 10 months ago, how long should I practice before reach your level?

[pinknblues1]

Beautiful interpretation, so well played, and you have put your own signature on without 'impersonating' Tommy so to speak, so well done, excellent!

[Qpidon]

I am humbled by your comments. this was a lot of work!

Btw, thank you so much for uploading those great Tommy video's...he is just so close to my hart, he is my biggest Hero!

Pascal

[pinknblues1]

thank you though I take no credit for those videos. I know how much work goes into 'working out' tommys songs, and you have made this one your own! Even with Tab/video etc these days, it is not enough to get the feel and dynamic of a piece that you have so beautifully captured. I look forward to hearing more of your work, take good care.

[pinknblues1]

Beautiful interpretation, so well played, and you have put your own signature on without 'impersonating' Tommy so to speak, so well done, excellent!

[TheCrispenator]

wow fantastic Pascal!

[Qpidon]

I was impressed with your "over the rainbow" great job overall!

[ImArd12]

your really good

[Qpidon]

I'm ok, TE is REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALY good! ;))

[AnchoriteProductions]

Outstanding! Going to pull out my TE books and see if I have that one. Great job Pascal.  I posted a comment here earlier but I think it got sucked into cyberspace!

[AnchoriteProductions]

Dude! That is some really good guitar playing. I am glad Tommy Emmanuel inspired you to start playing again. Thanks for the video.

[ghiengame]

Wow :o you are awesome, this song requires some hard skills. Why don't you try "I've always thought of you" also by Tommy Emmanuel, I am working on it. BTW, good job on this video, i envy you ^^

[macpips]

Sounds great. I play this one fingerstyle, wish I could play it with a pick like that. Keep up the good work!

[56panhead]

Awesome job on a very technically tough Tommy Tune! Can't believe you called yourself the "Butcher",...funny, but unwarranted. Have you seen a Youtuber named Scott Tsai?, he does the BEST TE instructionals EVER, slowed down for most morons to absorb. TE invited him to play Angelina on stage w/him at his NJ concert in June, How good is that? Check him out,..he's awesome too! Tim, FL Gulf Coast

[nyong010]

looks and sounds like a hard piece your a good guitarist :)

[guitarzan161]

wow very good job! Been thinking about trying this one myself.

[Qpidon]

you should, its realy nice to play!

[lonlonjp]

very beautiful and lovely too!

cheers mate

lonlonjp

[Qpidon]

thanks man!

[bobbyzz94]

a very nice tune and (as I can hear) perfect picking - the interplay with those "bell-like-tones", the harmonics in the melody is awesome...

Robert

[Qpidon]

yes, the harmonics...gotta love them ;)

[bundi89]

perfect!

[Qpidon]

well, perfect I dunno, but close enough ;-))

[micallo58]

great perfomance and also in flatpick style! compliments! which guitar do you use in this tune?

[Qpidon]

all info on my guitar and gear on main page, thanks!

[Vreci]

Wow Pascal,

you are always amazing !

10 *s !!!!

Thanks for sharing !

What guitar are you playing ? (beautiful sound)

best regards,

wolfgang

[Qpidon]

[plateau07]

That was great pascal..I hope this year to try some of the great Tommy's tunes Will most likely have to install a cushion on my desk to have handy to bang my head against!! Great playing :)

[Qpidon]

[stawney]

Very well played!!

Martin

[Qpidon]

Thank you so much, Martin.

Looking foreward to it!

Pascal.

[Taylor314T5]

once again, very good job, I tried this song out a while back and gave in. tough song and you got through it without breaking a sweat.

[Taylor314T5]

i'll come back to it. I'm working on Doyle Dykes Visitation at the moment. That should be my next youtube video.

[hofei]

[Qpidon]

[Qpidon]

Gracias Antonio. Tu ultima video fue un regalo del cielo para mi!

Pascal.

[Bioss36]

Impresionante Pascal .... que maravilla ... veo que dominas bien esta forma de tocar ... y por cierto, la pieza es preciosa, no la conocía

[Qpidon]

si, deberias escuchar Tommy tocando este, es "Flipante" ;)

Gracias por tus estrellas!

Un saludo,

PAscal

[tienloc47]

AWESOME!!!! 5 STARS w00t!

[markgalloway]

Good job. I've always wanted to try this one. Your video will help with learning the fingering. Your guitar sounds great.

[Qpidon]

thanks, inn my favourites, there is a realy nice instructional video from Tommy Emmanuel himself. It helped me a lot. Also, it is very rewarding piece to play, realy. Enjoy!

[mikeberk810]

sounds like you've nailed it man. well played! that's an amazing beautiful guitar you've got there

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Pascal, you couldn't post a better birthday gift for your sister. Is this your first hybrid picking? Very well played, I liked it all the way. Best wishes, Bernd.

[Qpidon]

Thank you Bernd, your comment is valuable to me.

Its my second attempt to Hybrid picking. My previous post was my first...

All the best to you, Bernd.

Pascal

[glaoud]

Il faut une sacrée précision au médiator !Les harmoniques sortent bien en électro.

Cest du haut niveau !*****

[Qpidon]

Merci JC,

J'ai passer bcp de temps sur ceci, et c'est tj pas 100%...Mais c'est tres tres gaie a joué.

Amicallement,

Pascal

[matzac97]

pas facile, bravo pour la performance. ;-)

[Qpidon]

Merci Marc, pour ton encouragement eternel et tes étoilles, ca fait toujours tres plaisir!

Pascal

[Qpidon]

eh, c'est pour quand ta nouvelle video?? Il est grand temps, mon tres chere! ;-)

[matzac97]

j'y travaille , mais depuis que tu m'as dit qu'il fallait que j'aille lentement cela prend plus de temps, tu m'as trop mis la pression hé hé ! A bientôt, Amicalement André

[quesapa]

Bonito, delicado, bien ejecutado.

[Qpidon]

Tengo a impression que tu nunca recibes mi mensajes....te voy a mandar uno ahora, y cuando regreso de una copa de cafe -bien merecido, te responde....

Un saludo, amigo mio!

Pascal

[quesapa]

Te he mandado varios mensajes los cuales no he tenido respuesta.

[Qpidon]

te mando un mensaje 1 hora pasado.... parece que no lo recibiste?

Muy curioso, manda me (otra vez tu coreo electronico? Gracias)

[Qpidon]

Well thank you!

[craftsman1234]

As usual,great

[Qpidon]

Thanks mate!

[catman1008]

Great attempt at this beautiful, and I imagine, difficult song by Tommy. Very close to his performance of it.

[Qpidon]

Yup, the timing is rather tricky and I mess it up a few times, but its still "youtube-able", no ? ;)

[aoisatan]

I never get dissapointed when i see your videos the way you play is great ! This song sounds hard im a begginer so i dont think i can play this only after years of practice..XD

[Qpidon]

Indeed, Tommy has "easier" songs than this one. But I like the challenge. Ones you play it, its simple extatic. Ad my neighbours seem to enjoy it as well ;)

[MarcManesse]

Jeu superbe et son du même tonneau.

Superbe Pascal.

[Qpidon]

Merci Marc et bien a toi!

[bjjforme]

Good one pascal, brilliant

Jase :)

[Qpidon]

Heya Jase,

Alwaus great to read support from you. Take care,

PAscal

[NaruyoJapan]

Your sound is splendid!

[Qpidon]

Many thanks, I am humbled.

Pascal

[fanoguitar]

I'm not familiar with the original, so it sounds super to me!  5*

[Qpidon]

If you liked my version, the real deal wil give you goosebumps for sure. Check it out!

[criltunieddu]

Great sound and great feeling! Congratulation... 5 stars!!!

Nello

[Qpidon]

Thank you Nello

[pickerie]

Very good! Building a very nice portfolio. Keep up the great work and keep on building.

[Qpidon]

Portfolio! oh, thats what it is ;)

I have a few other videos in the pipeline, keep posted!

[Supremelord]

great! let's don't forget that it's a difficult song, so it's not so bad if you play it a bit sloppy! i wish i could play it as half as good as you!

[conwint]

super!!

[Qpidon]

Thanks my friend. About that "tag" thing: sorry, but I dont realy see the point...alas, maybe one day I will ;-))

Btw, you are not only a great guitar player, boy you can draw!!!

[Supremelord]

great! let's don't forget that it's a difficult song, so it's not so bad if you play it a bit sloppy. i wish i could play it as half as good as you!

[Qpidon]

And I wish I could play it half as good as Tommy! That makes us two! ;)

[Supremelord]

isn't that what we all (his fans) want? some are really close but i guess almost nobody can reach his skill. ;-) at least not so quickly

[Qpidon]

;-)) I dont want to sound pathetic here, but boy do I love that guy...

[Supremelord]

hahaha me too! I can't wait to see him in concert in march 2 times...in cologne and the other day in essen! he has to sign the pic we made together the last time lol check it out on my myspace site if you like!

[Qpidon]

TE signed my guitar : freeze the image at 2:38  Cute huh ? ;)

[Supremelord]

hm, an unlikely spot for him to sign...mostly he signs over the fretboard. anyway, pretty cool. i'm to shy to bring my guitar to him, maybe he wants me to play something? lol i couldnt ring a note in front of him i guess. hahaha

[chamacojesus]

Pascaaaal, Pascaaaal, siempre tan duro contigo mismo en los comentarios... A mi me parece que es una fantástica interpretación, y que tu hermana va a estar muy muy contenta, si señor. Debe ser que de esto no entiendo nada, porque lo veo tan distinto a ti...

[Qpidon]

Gracias Jesus, espero que si, que le va a gustar a mi hermana...una pregunta, no entiendo muy bien tu ultima phrase:"lo veo tan disti..." y eso?

De todas formas, siempre soy orgulloso de tener un complimento tuyo. Eres un gran guitarista!

[chamacojesus]

Quiero decir que no sé cómo yo puedo ver tus interpretaciones siempre tan limpias y cuidadas y tu siempre las ves mucho más negativamente. Debe ser que , o de esto de la guitarra no entiendo mucho.... o que tú te infravaloras, no?

[Qpidon]

sabes, algunos de tus comentarios que me ha heche en el pasado me han ayudado mucho. En el sentido que me he dado cuenta que NUNCA he tomado mi guitara "Serio"....siempre fue un substitut para rellenar algun tiempo...pero con tus cometarios y suggerencias, a vezes, ultimamento... Pero da me tiempo, vale? ;-)
