Angelina

A beautiful instrumental composed by Tommy Emmanuel, my guitar hero! I really love the tune of this song, and I understand from having attended a few of his live performances, that he actually wrote it for his daughter named Angelina. If you hear the beat of the song, you'll notice that it's four beat, and it corresponds to her name, An-ge-li-na. Genius!

The tabs are given below for those interested in learning it. Hope it'll help! :)

I would like to say i really appreciate your performance and effort put in the tab. Actually, i like this song and your tab give me guidance to perform.
For this song, i have some questions to ask, in the verse part, the second line, can i omit the base sound of the fifth string at "Asus" and "A7" position on the tab, since i think it is not smooth. I hope you understand my quest. Thank for your help, may god bless you!

Hey Kin, the song actually sounds better with the A bass notes in it. That's how Tommy plays his signature melodies with the bass line in it as well. If you tried it without the A bass notes, it'd sound quite empty.

Sounds awesome! Wish I could get the rhythm (and speed :P) where the sliding begins, but I'm trying! Thanks for posting this smooth smooth song!
