Thanks for taking the time to appreciate Tommy's work and for leaving the positive comment.

His amazing skill reminds me of another Tommy I know. I watched this in hopes of trying to learn his arrangement of this song. All I can "steal" from this is inspiration to practice much more :-)

Maybe the key to great fingerstyle playing is in the name Tommy? I bought the arrangements of these songs way back when, but my fingers refused to cooperate with my head. However, it's a good thing to have the "Tommys" of this world who play outstanding music and inspire us to play the best we can. Thanks for posting your comment.

These were originally published by Hal Leonard, but currently out of print. I found one copy for another viewer at Amazon.com and he snatched it right up, That would be your best option, to keep checking on Amazon. I'm certain it is not standard tuning, but I can't give you any specifics. Seems he is a half step down from concert pitch.

Thanks for watching. Tommy was a very inspiring player.
