Here's something special for you. This song is so actual these days, especially given my Location profile field.
But here it is. Not only tabs, but separate tracks of each part now available, you can play along or just listen.

Stick to it.
Me too, me too :lol
Thank you LE! I was trying to put as much emotion as possible into it. So cool that I can bring joy to people with that. I was inspired by Mark, Mark was inspired by Chet, Chet was inspired by Django, Django was inspired by Louis, etc., and it's all about joy and happiness :)

That is amazing, I hate you for your incredible talent. I'll go back to my cave now.

agree with banjo...I think I will stop playing guitar.... :'(
wonderful as always foma :clap :clap
very tasteful and subtil playing
I wonder, how did you record this, I mean for synchro and all : a click, a backing track ?
as for the nose, it seems like Mark did it on both songs :D
if they have played more songs, would have he done it on all songs ? ;D

Hey Banjo and JF, thank you! Let's see some Tommy Emmanuel vids together and I'll give up playing guitar like you just as well :-D
Very cool question regarding recording JF! It was hard to figure out how to record it 1 in 1. Just playing over original was too hard for me rhythmically, but I was kind of want to do it without headphones, too, so it made it even more hard. So what I did, I made a custom click-track in Pro Tools beat by beat after original recording, and recorded the whole thing with a click only in my home audio system. Voila! Both times it was Chet's part first and then Mark's. And believe it or not, I got more troubles with Mark's part, especially in Dreams. Final MK takes was better, but with Chet actually early takes was better.
Recording had some funny things. I've done an awful lot of takes with a guitar being unplugged, I've made a really really good MK Dreams take with a camera being treacherously unfocussed. But it was fun. In total it was about 6 ours of recording and a couple of evenings for editing two vids.
The most hard part was the rehearsing and the learning process. Try to learn Imagine note boy note, and boy
