Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."Â -Isaiah 40.31
Ping to the Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar Ping list.
If anyone wants to be on my Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar ping list, please freep mail me.
Also if you want to try to play this song, the link below will take you to a video of the Guitar Pro Tab.
If you have Guitar Pro, then you can probably find the tab somewhere. The Guitar Pro web site has a lot of really good tabs for free. If you don’t have Guitar Pro (then get it!) or you can watch the video below.
There are also a lot of videos of lessons of this song. It is playable by intermediate guitar players. I know, because I learned it.
Good luck and happy picking:

Very nice.
I discovered Tommy Emanuel when I realized he was the only one who could play “Classical Gas” better than Mason Williams ;-) But his “one man band” stuff is really the greatest, along with the shows he did with his brother - all on Youtube.
He even did a TED presentation where you have a chance to get a sense for the man behind the six strings:

I’ve seen him live a few times. Love his live stuff. I have a harder time enjoying it with audio only because when you can’t see him playing, it could have just as well been 3-4 people playing instead. :)

To “get” the magic of Tommy Emmanuel you’ve got to see him playing, and it helps if you play a little guitstick yourself so that you realize just what he’s doing. :)
He’s amazing, you ever hear him play “Somewhere over the rainbow”? Just utterly utterly mind blowing.....

Speaking of music, here is one music mystery I found today...I always seem to find these. This guy from what I can ascertain calls himself “Michael Meanwhile” put out all these songs in the past 10 years, a lot of them incredibly brilliant, well sung yet he is completely and utterly unknown. I mean utterly unknown to the point where his videos barely get more than 4 views TOTAL.
I did some research and found he’s put out 3 albums that never sold, some songs were used in TV commercials and a TV show, but other than that, he is a completely mystery.

How effed up is the music industry today where a guy like this is completely ignored, bypassed while absolute morons like Kanye West are coddled and promoted relentlessly?
More likely this one was TE's muse.
