TOMMY EMMANUEL
Hailed by Chet Atkins as "Without a doubt, one of the greatest guitar players on the
planet," Tommy Emmanuel has electrified audiences from Steve Kaufman's diminutive
Palace Theater in Maryville, Tennessee to the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics
in Sydney, Australia. Having concertized throughout much of the civilized world, this
dynamic performer who, in his words "happens to be a pretty good guitarist," made his
way to the fabled competition in Winfield Kansas as a guest artist for the first time in
2000. Shortly before Tommy's performances there, parking lot pickers were said to
have ceasedjamming and moved trance like in droves to a venue designed to hold perhaps 500,
now packed with three times that number ali to hear Tommy Emmanuel play
an acoustic guitar!
Although he has acted as a mentor to a dedicated few young guitarists in his native
Australia, Tommy seems destined to make his mark performing on the world stage. His
impeccable taste, flawless technique, and engaging personality have inspired fans and
critics alike.
 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I sincerely hope that you enjoy learning these works of art from Tommy's CD
"QNLY". Many thanks to Tommy for the joy that his music brings usoThe folks at Mel
Bay have been very gracious in providing space for the entire tunes. There is enough
variation in the choruses to make "repeats" impractical and I couldn't bear to leave
anything out. Italian guitarist Daniele Bazzani had worked on these tunes independently
and was kind enough to supply me with his notes early on, and that made my
task easier. Thanks to Brett Wood for help with some "impossible" licks. These tunes vary in difficulty, and please remember that interpreting notes and positions by ear can be subjective at best! Feel free to let me know if you have questions about the music. And very special thanks
to my wife Carol and daughter Katelynn, who allowed me to take on this project. I

THOSE WHO WAIT Played with a plectrum (straight pick) 6th string = D; guitar tuned down 1/2 step

"We learn so much in life/ dont we? Ufe is our teacher. Ufe is the school/ and if we're
smart we learn the lessons and learn from each other. I think one of the hardest things
that I've ever had to learn is patience; and trust and faith in believing that things are
going to work out. That's really hard to learn/ to be patient. That's what this song is
about. About truly trusting that if your motives are right/ and everything about you is
heading in the right direction/ then there is no way that you can go wrong. /'
The plectrum is held by the thumb and first finger, and you then use the pick and your
second and third fingers to play the strings. This is sometimes called "hybrid picking".
For a given tune, and a desired effect, the plectrum gives a different sound than the
thumb pick. But if you have never played in this style it can be a challenge. Take it slow
and easy and you will get it! It is not practical to put a plectrum direction on each note,
but you can lay your right hand on the strings, and get a feel for what strings the pick
contacts, and which strings your second and third fingers touch comfortably. If this
style is new to you, go through the tune first using thumb and three fingers, and when
you are familiar with it, you can start on the hybrid technique. It is helpful to study
Tommy's performance videos or DVD's and watch his right hand. Also the fingering is
often critical. In places, fingering can be an individual thing, and you play the way your
left hand feels the best. But most of the time that I have indicated fingering, it is
because it is as Tommy intended it to be played. What seems to be awkward at times,
usually turns out to be brilliant because he has a way of making the melodic ideas flow
together, due in large part to the choice of fingering.
In this tune the tempo is fairly even throughout. It starts with natural harmonics at the
seventh fret, as you lay your first finger across the neck. Tommy uses his left-hand
thumb often to fret the 6th string. This is the case with the opening motif, starting
with the bass in measure 4. For the most part, let notes ring and sustain whenever possible,
even if it is not indicated in the music. Tommy's left hand reach is remarkable, as
you can tell from the five fret stretch in measure 26. Measure 32 has one of the awkward
fingerings on the hammer-on that will take some practice! The left hand thumb
is put to use again for the passage starting in measure 37. In measure 82, there is a
quick natural harmonic on the fifth string, and then you use your left hand to play the
hammer-on on the sixth string.
