How To Play “American Tune” - Tommy Emmanuel / Fingerstyle guitar lesson Find the full lesson here: https://bit.ly/4zsq3Vx I hope you ready to have a new all-time favourite to be added to your repertoire. This is an old Paul Simon song that Tommy arranged for acoustic guitar, and it is simply amazing. And before you recoil in fear because Tommy is involved: that is not necessary (in this case). This is probably one of the most doable arrangements from his repertoire that I ever covered! Tommy had to learn this song really quickly for a one-off charity concert with Emmylou Harris. He ended up liking the song so much the made it into a full solo acoustic arrangement, and it has quickly turned into a fan favourite. 👉 Links: Website: timvanroy.com Patreon: patreon.com/timvanroy Thomann shop (affiliate link): https://thmn.to/thocf/acm1qkd0ex Tab/notation file: https://bit.ly/4zsq3Vx (click the Musicnotes icon while logged into your Musicnotes account and you'll see a 20% discount pop up at checkout!) 👉 Timestamps: 0:00 The Usual Stuff 0:36 Introduction 2:46 Pointers 3:03 Verse 1A 3:51 Verse 1A (Chords) 5:21 Verse 1A (Bars 1 - 4) 12:23 Verse 1A (Bars 5 - 8) 16:28 Verse 1A (Playthrough) 👉 Gear Guitar: Martin J-40, Standard tuning Mics: Neumann 184's (Guitar) & Rode NT4 (Voice) Interface: Apogee Quartet 👉 Lesson Content: Part 1: Verse 1A Part 2: Verse 1B Part 3: Bridge Part 4: Ending and/or Waltzing Matilda 👉 Follow me on… Fingerstyle community platform: timvanroy.circle.so Facebook:   / timvanroy81   Instagram:   / tim_van_roy   TikTok:   / tim_van_roy   #tommyemmanuel #fingerstyle #lesson #fingerpicking #tutorial #fingerstyleguitar #guitar #guitarlesson #guitartutorial
