Wasn't that Guitar World's Acoustic classics issue that came out? I seem to remember it having some of the best acoustic tabs in that issue. Embryonic Journey, Midsummers Daydream, Little Martha, Blackbird, Dee, etc.

@HailCostanza - Yes it is, it has a lot of great tunes in Tab format

[CaShMoNeY661]

All I can say is he is as hot as ever! Hot Fucking Jorma! How Great is he?

[FeitenFan]

He is great, isn't he !!

Also, writes a lot of great tunes and lyrics

[FeitenFan]

There a several other songs on this video that are pretty good, I'll post them this weekend I think. Jorma's the best !!

[GetBackJack123]

So, you don't play this first position?

[FeitenFan]

There is a fairly accuract TAB available in Acoustic Guitar from a few years ago. I learned it from that and when at Jorma's guitar camp, he taught it and it was basically the same. Jorma said the TAB was pretty accurate

oh yea, you can really play that guitar, hot fuckn' jorma.

[deweypug]

There will never be another finger style guitar player like Jorma... This man eeks ever note out of the instrument.

[keo774]

@joezero315 well who cares about its name, its the most beautiful thing in existence

[joezero315]

@keo774 troll, no. this is fingerpicking, yes. this is not fingerstyle, as i stated above.

[keo774]

@joezero315 ahahhah what a troll you are... this is pure fingerpicking man! jorma IS fingerpicking

[SamuriHamster]

Haha his face at the end! He's like, "Uhh that's right you better fuckin' clap."



[moosehose]

WTH?? Why'd everyone wait forever to clap?

[deweypug]

@joezero315 You are splitting hairs here... Both styles are so fused into one another at this point. .Anyway, Jorma called me and he said he doesn't like you.

[joezero315]

@deweypug the difference between fingerstyle and finger picking, learn how to read.

[deweypug]

@joezero315 What in god's good name or you blathering about?

[joezero315]

@deweypug fingerstyle playing can include chords, arpeggios and other elements such as artificial harmonics, hammering on and pulling off with the fretting hand, using the body of the guitar percussively, and many other techniques.

[joezero315]

@deweypug Fingerpicking (also called thumb picking, alternating bass, or pattern picking) is a term that is used to describe both a playing style and a genre of music. In this technique, the thumb maintains a steady rhythm, usually playing "alternating bass" patterns on the lower three strings, while the index, or index and middle fingers pick out melody and fill-in notes on the high strings.
