Questions (Tommy Emmanuel) – Tutorial (Part 1)
One of Tommy's more mellow songs is up for dissection today. There a quite a few chord voicings that use the thumb over the side of the neck in this song, but it is perfectly possible to replace each and every one of them without altering anything else. Part 1 will take you through the intro and the verse.

22:45 it is indeed a very unique technique but i think i understand why he did it. it's not conventional by any means but i've played it with a double hammer-on (ring finger + pinky) up until this point. it's not wrong but it's really hard to get to get the intonation right at low frets. which i guess means that i get them wrong most of the time. maybe even more so because i am playing on an electric guitar, but using the 'slide grip' fixes all of that for some reason. it does feel very non-traditional but at the same time it feels like i am learning to speak through my guitar in a completely different way. kind of how words can mean completely different things in different contexts. thanks again man.
this is wonderful! great step by step guide, wonderful tones, clean playstyle and you manage to go over all the subtleties in the actual chords that tommy uses. so many tabs out there are close and technically 'correct' but either the chord is missing some richness or it's in the wrong position. thanks so much for this. also, love your voice!
Thank you Tim! I hope one day to see you perform one of your favorite Tommy’s music arrangement together!
