Tom,
Wow that was beautiful. I don't think I have heard the song before but I could listen to this over and over congrats on what looks to be quite challenging

Busking Tommy Emmanuel
Tom a real toughie by the looks of it. Each digit having to be an Olympic athlete in their own right. This tune obviously traverses every inch of the fret board with harmonics thrown in just for fun. I take my hat off to you, you certainly worked the guitar. Great job!

That was a seriously impressive piece of guitar playing, well done. Angelina looks like a very very very awkward song to play, and agreed Tommy makes it look easy to play-he makes everything look easy to play.
That has to be a 10 song on the Tg rating doesnt it.

Here's a link to some pretty accurate Tommy TABs. Have fun!

Oh my, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the nice things you all have to say.
Is it a bad thing if I admit that feedback like this is such a motivating factor that really helps me focus on learning and playing tough songs to post on TG?
I hope not. It's one of the great features of the whole TG thing!
I also hope that my successes help to motivate others to challenge themselves with new and difficult songs and techniques.
Every time I sit down to learn something new, as in this case it was some challenging harmonics, incredibly stretchy chords and even some sliding chords, I start out thinking this is impossible.
But, after a few hundred attempts, things start to click and then before I know it, I'm actually mostly doing it.
I'm convinced that an inordinate amount of repetition of anything new or difficult will work wonders ... for anyone.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the kudos. It's much appreciated.

That's my 2 cents.
In a word. No.
