Tommy Emmanuel - Initiation Live - Jackson Delahunt

This is me playing Initiation at the SCECGS Redlands Gala Arts in 2004. I can't believe how young I look, I was only 13!

This piece uses lots of delay, reverb, and uncommon uses of the guitar to achieve the sounds of an Australian Aboriginal corroboree. This is one of Tommy Emmanuel's more unique pieces that make him stand out as an amazing talent of Australia!

This is, Initiation...

this was great. Ever thought about doing a ballad like over the rainbow?

[sabrehagen]

I have, but I always try to pick show pieces. I'd love to play a piece like over the rainbow, but every piece is so epic and its not like you can have 3 on the go at once, they're all so challenging! I really want to learn amazing grace next, would you classify that as a ballad?

Jackson... has Tommy seen this vid? I will be seeing Tommy on Tuesday -- I plan on talking a bit with his manager Gina, and would be happy to pass along the URL if you would like me to. You have found your calling... do not stop playing the guitar ever. I have played acoustic guitar for 44 years and can't come close to that... "Get to Work!" as Tommy would say - and keep posting these vids! 5/5 and saved in the Acoustic Virtuosity archives (channel bigdood). PEACE!

[sabrehagen]

Really? You would be seeing him! "Dood", I would be honored if you could give him the URL to this, and especially me playing "Guitar Boogie". If you could just give Gina/Tommy (if you see him) a bit of an idea of who I am (tell him that I played with him in Australia in Penrith) and maybe even give her the URL to my profile so they can see all my videos I would be in debt to you forever!

[bigdood]

Sure, Jackson... for someone who has worked as hard as you have to perfect your craft, it's no problem at all for me to pass this along to Gina and Tommy on Tuesday night! Peace and good luck to you and your family...

It's almost like syncing to a metronome... it's not really the hard part.

This song is about emotion, Tommy Emmanuel's emotion to be more precise. I can't believe he covered Initiation either, but for different reasons... I think this is rediculous.

[MarijnvdZaag]

How original...

[pacofdl]

Unbelievable.. Insane..

[rapidfire21]

you were only 13?!?!?!
