I can close my eyes...and see Chet & his dad strolling down a lane. This is Tommy, but it's Chet's sound. How do i describe it?

The mark of a true musician is someone who plays because it's their lifelong dream and passion, as if there is nothing else in this world they would rather do, and by generosity they share it with the world to listen and enjoy.

As much as you can pour your heart into and truly enjoy listening to Tommy Emmanuel's music, you always know he's enjoying it that much more than you and always will, and that's the magic behind it all.

The part at  1:02 gives me goosebumps

@UncleZipper if it's so easy for you and you got a lot of free time please note it for me and send me. You are so magnanimous. Thanks :))))

If you need tabs you shouldn't play this.

tommy always knows exactly how to put it across - like in the cadence at the end of the main 'theme' he plays the same note on one string then another - very subtle but so effective!

... Tommy! IS - Mozart at his highest state of composition,... there is no other comparison in this world,.... if MOZART was alive today, he would have surely embraced Tommy as his most beloved brother...

"Key change!" hahaha awesome. I've done that by accident and had it sound horrible. How can he play this well? it shouldn't be possible lol.

theres not many times i call things beautiful, be it because im a sterotypical man or what not, but the melody in this really is. I could listen to this stuff all day, he played it at windsor and i just loved it, classic.
