Perhaps a good stage name might be "Eminent to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" :d good picking though. As long as there is a legacy and pocket change what better reason to extinguish our bodies?

[crescentridge]

@norunaround Ha!! Yes, this technique is something I have developed for years and I always warm up slow. Don;t try this at home, kids :-)

hey i play ukulele and i was wondering how can u pick faster with the strummng hand without usning a pick?

[crescentridge]

@headcrae I am using a flatpick in this video!!!

[ox0Jason0xo]

i really like your playing alot but it seems to me like your trying to be tommy e i think your faces are 2 much i like this when im not watching the video but cant stand watching it but hey guess thats what radio is for =P

[crescentridge]

THis piece is very influenced by Tommy. I will take your advice, thank you.

Yo Adam - do NOT stop making facial expressions while playing because some people dont get it. This isnt a phenomenon only done by tommy emmanuel - its done by most musicians who "are feeling it", its a natural response. If the musician aint feeling it then its unlikely the listeners will either. Keep doing what you gotta do to remain an awesome player !!!

[walnutpearl]

you must be fucking that guitar, no other way to make it sing like that. a true master, amazing

[TheFunkaway]

love that transition from the chords back to the picking

[3guitarcoverz]

The muted part is crazy :)

[Craptron2000]

I wanna stick you on a stage with some nice reverb, get a glass of beer and listen to you all night. No homo.

[MokshaIS]

I thought this was gonna be a cover of Jimi's tune. Regardless, wonderful sounds Adam. Thanks so much.

@Guitarnazis Do you know what is really weak? Someone who calls himself Guitarnazis, tells an extremely talented musician he plays poorly, and not even have one video of yourself playing guitar on YouTube to prove you have any skill at all. I'm sure you don't even play guitar. If you do then you play heavily distorted garbage that doesn't take any real skill or talent.

you are beastly
