<r>I'd have to say the overall best guitar player is Tommy Emmanuel. He does it all. Check out: <YOUTUBE id="3k9iTMVzZps"><URL url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k9iTMVzZps">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k9iTMVzZps</URL></YOUTUBE> or <YOUTUBE id="fZNJf-h7F8s"><URL url="http://www.youtube.com/wat...

OK...Patterns VI, I, II, III, and V are somehow related to the 5 notes in the pentatonic scale (root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th) but WHY????

I have the same complaint about Tommy (playing with too much speed). But check out his "Angelina", "Those Who Wait", "Over the Rainbow", "Blue Moon", "Mombasa", and there are many more beautiful, masterful, expressive, and impressive songs.....

Nice. Beatles are always fun to do but always impossible to match! The only comment I'd make is that you should use a pick (and not your thumb) to get a cleaner/crisper guitar sound.

<t>I also see "100% CPU usage" when playing the "Windy and Warm" video from the TG Blog section. I don't see such high CPU usage when playing richardk's "Never Going Back Again" video from the TG Forum section. It looks like those videos use different video players for playback. Could that be the is...

<t>How about starting with just one string and hitting the 2 notes on the one string until you're comfortable. Then add 1 note from the next string so you have 3 notes to play with until successful/comfortable. Play the 3 notes in various combinations (ie. 112 113 221 223 123 132 231 213 etc.) Then ...

<t>Agreed. Tommy Emmanuel is the best. Do a youtube search on him and you'll find thousands of clips. Listen/watch Angelina, Those Who Wait, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Beatles Medley, Guitar Boogie, Classical Gas. I could go and on. BTW. Tommy now lives in NASHVILLE and does a ton a tours in the US...
