Hands down, Tommy Emmanuel is the most charismatic, soulful, accomplished and
technically brilliant fingerstyle guitar player walking the planet today.
Tommy is also extraordinarily inventive on the fretboard, which makes learning his songs, and playing them correctly,
extremely challenging because it's so difficult to discern exactly what Tommy is doing with both his right and left hands.
TrueFire and technology to the rescue! For the first time ever, Tommy teaches 5 of his most popular tunes and arrangements
with interactive multi-angle video software featuring zoom, looping, angle control, standard tab,
notation, PLUS Power Tab and Guitar Pro files!
Never before has such solid teaching material and so many educational tools been available to explore and master your favorite Tommy
Emmanuel tunes!
All downloads include TrueFire's new multi-angle switching interactive lesson player with tab, standard notation on PDF, along with Power Tab and Guitar Pro files. We also include a free full version installer of TuxGuitar, which animates the tab, notation and fretboard fingering for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms! Tux Guitar reads the included Power Tab files and allows you to slow down and loop any section of the tab/notation without changing pitch.
Certified Gems
This interactive video course features two hours of multi-angle video guitar lessons
for full performance versions of Mr. Guitar, Classical Gas, Borsalino, To B or
Not To B and Cowboy's Dream. Never before have you had such solid teaching
material and so many educational tools to work with as you explore and learn
to master your favorite Tommy Emmanuel tunes.
Multi-Angle Video Instruction
Multi-angle interactive video instruction accelerates the learning
experience with looping, syncing, zooming, keyboard shortcuts and other
handy controls. Viewing angles include wide, right-hand, front of
left-hand, back of left hand, and a tri-view showing three angles
simultaneously.
Video angles can be switched easily during playback for optimal viewing of
left and right hands at any point in the performances or breakdowns. Any
section of a video can also be looped continuously for study and
play-along.
Note-by-Note Breakdowns
For each of his tunes, Tommy first shares a little background on his inspiration
for the composition and then performs the tune in its entirety. Tommy then steps
you through a detailed note-by-note breakdown covering every section of the
arrangement and every technique he employs during the performance; intros, verses,
choruses, outros and even the improvisational sections - you get it all straight
from Tommy.
Standard and Interactive Tab and
Notation
All of the tunes are accurately tabbed and notated. Standard tab and
notation is presented on PDF files and can be printed out if desired. Both
Power Tab and Guitar Pro files are also provided for students preferring
interactive tablature. Interactive tablature allows the student to see and
hear the tab and notation played out, at any tempo without change in
pitch. A free copy of Power Tab software is included (Windows only).
Guitar Pro is readily available online (Windows and Mac).
System Requirements
Certified Gems is Windows and Mac compatible and plays right off the disk
without any special installation or hassles. All you need is Flash player
for the videos, Adobe Reader for the PDFs and Guitar Pro or Power Tab for
the interactive notation and tablature. No other plugins, add-ons or
monkey business required.
