Somewhere Over the Rainbow

[Tim Wallis]

I'm putting together a DVD for some upcoming College Master Classes I'm doing so this morning, I recorded this one.

Way to go Tim!! Really good stuff. Great application of the bends to the song.

Seems like you follow Tommy Emanuel's phrasing some......yes?

[horsespatoot]

Perfection ...... I almost hesitate to watch your stuff .... makes me want to quit. But ... I shall endeavor to persevere. Nice work.

Nice job as always but compared to your first version of this song (the one that you posted a couple years back). Boy do I miss your old string drops for special effects (the new ones are great for strings other than Low E or A) but for Low E especially: your old string drops are way better because the picker has better control over the string drop/raise bend. It shows in comparison just watch the original video and you'll know what I'm talkin' about. PLEASE bring them back. Please

Wait. I just watched it again and it sais you ARE using the original on the Low E. Well my eyes just arn't that good but my ears still are. Doesn't look like your using the extended handle, which for me gives total control with those drops and raised bends.

Just don't understand why you choose different chord inversions where you're not emphasizing the drop bends (like twords the begining on the G/A chord then you would hit Low E and drop to D but now your going to D/F# chord?)
What attracted us to your uniuque bends was that your string drop was not just a drop. You could use it smoothly as a bend down to D. which is something you don't get with the hipshot Drop D. This is what set your string drops apart from any other companys: That ability to use the drop as a part of the melody.

It's kinda like changing the formula of Cocacola

This is incredible. There is something about watching someone who really loves the sound of the guitar sit down and play solo that kills me every time. I guess probably knowing that there are so many people out there just as passionate about the instrument as I am. Tim, thank you for posting this
