Timberland (Karol Baritone Guitar)
Written on his regular guitar, but switched to the baritone guitar to give it “the drama” it needed. He had just read a synopsis of a film idea about the timber industry back in the early 1800’s. Enjoy another new song from the upcoming album, The Best Of Tommysongs.

COVID 19 UPDATE – Here’s an update on the performances Tommy Emmanuel was forced to reschedule due to the Coronavirus, with a few festival cancellations. If you already purchased a ticket or meet & greet for a show, it will be honored for the new rescheduled show date and you do not need to do anything (except in Mississauga – see below). This information has been updated in most places. However, if you go to the venue and you see they haven’t updated the information, please do not fret. The venue staffs are overloaded with show postponements so they might be behind in posting this information. Thank you all for your patience through this very difficult time. We’re all in this together! We will survive, and we will come together and celebrate life through music really soon!

For fans in Mississauga, this venue decided to refund all ticket purchases for this show. If you want to come to the rescheduled show, you must re-purchase your ticket. They are holding all the seat locations for the tickets already purchased. This tickets will not be available for sale until sometime in mid April and expect the venue to email you about this. If you bought a meet & greet, you do NOT need to repurchase your meet & greet for this show.
I wrote this for my first daughter Amanda when she was little. I would pick her up from school, and instead of going straight home, we would drive up and down the beach road. She would play DJ with the CD player in our car. This precious time together we called our “drive time.” I couldn’t have written this song if I hadn’t spent a lifetime listening to Stevie Wonder.
For the first time ever you can also stream this song on Spotify!!
Enjoy!!

His unique guitar style is still called Travis Picking by guitarists. “Travis Picking” is a syncopated style of guitar fingerpicking rooted in ragtime music in which alternating chords and bass notes are plucked by the thumb while melodies are simultaneously plucked by the index finger.
Here are two amazing examples of his style….
