  • nope i like thomas sengers better lot more feel to it

  • Whoops i didn't realize it was a competition! I think he would appreciate that comment more than me, so why not go tell him instead?

    Thanks!

  • really good job... just a tad slow compared to the original... and I noticed that you "cheated" just a bit at 1:49 on the BIG STRETCH... LOL... Hey, that's OK, I can't reach it either... I looked at TE's hands when I met him and they are HUGE -- and THAT'S how he does that seven-fret stretch. :-) All in all, a really good job, very smooth!

  • I agree with you, I think I know what you mean about the 1:49 part, letting the c# (9th fret) ring longer? It is kinda tricky, and I did actually practice it the right way when i was learning the notes, but after not playing for awhile I forget about these things lol(shame on me!)

    Thankyou, and everyone else for the comments!

  • can you make lessons plz?

  • minchia bravo!

  • You're totally right i will do. it's not a competition but you play great do you teach :)

  • nice man, but this is also a fun tune to do fast, just like when tommy does it live

  • cool, well done, slow and a

    steady wins the race.

  • I met TE in July, when I shook his hand, I looked at it. I have BIG hands... he has FREAKING HUGE hands. :-) And, can you imagine how strong they are, after playing wild-assed guitar music 10-14 hours a day? I am just glad he didn't squeeze mine too tight, I probably would have required years of physical therapy. :-)

  • MAKE A SINCE WE MET COVERRRRRRR

  • Yeah i didn't detect the 10th fret when listening to the album version, it would be near impossible to reach while barring the 4th fret for most mere mortals.. you'd need giant hands and great strength :p
