Beautiful!!!!!❤
Thank you so much!
When ya enjoy a piece as much as you do Im the same ya take the time to learn it inside and out.Rik is a Gem of a player,composer and person.
Fusion player truly multi dimensional.
Wow. That was fantastic.
I just started working on this and its a struggle.
I'm really thankful to see your technique!
Thank you Matthew! Keep going, I've been playing this song for many years :-)
Amazing. Love the joy on your face as you play this.
I grew up a HUGE Triumph fan, but was a little too young to see them in concert. I am incredibly thankful that I had the opportunities to see Rik perform with Dave Dunlop twice in the last few years in a 300 seat theatre. So, so worth the cost of a ticket!!!
Hey Tony, Thank you so much, I really appreciate your positive comments! I only saw Triumph live once but have seen Rik perform many times throughout his solo career and it was always fantastic. Cheers.
Good work!
Thank you! 🙂
That was beautiful!! Extremely well done! Rick Emmett's my favorite guitar player of all time. Love to see the joy in your face while playing this amazing tune.
Thank you! 🙂
Golly, that was great!
Super awesome!!! Clean, nice pace, and with soul. A perfect 10 !!!
Thanks so much!
Very nice. Hold off on the haircuts for about a year and you'd have Rik's awesome hair from back in the day...
I've been listening to Rik Emmett for as long as I can remember and it's always nice to hear someone do one of his guitar pieces justice 🎸
Hey Ben, Thanks for the laugh, if I grew it out now it would just look old and scraggly, lol. I usually cut it in the spring when I start getting corporate gigs and need to look respectable, lol.
Great to connect with another Rik fan, thanks for your positive comments I really appreciate it! Cheers
That’s beautiful! Loved it since Allied Forces came out 40 years ago.
Thank you! Yup it's been one of my favourites forever. Cheers
Wow. That was awesome. One of my favorite!
Thank you! 🙂
I always have loved this tune. And he is a master of it.
Thanks Jalan!
Gorgeous version. Love the pacing.
Thank you so much!
Dude you play that as well as Rik. Your smile on your face is exactly what that piece does to me. Whenever I get stressed out or anxious I play that tune in my head and it works better than a Xanax lol. Any suggestions on a good fingerstyle guitar? Thanks man God bless.
Hi Bob, thank you so much for your positive feedback, I really appreciate it! It's always great to hear from another player who is into some of the same music. Even though I've learned so many songs over the years there are some pieces I keep coming back to, like Petite Etude. As far as fingerstyle guitars, there are so many great guitar makers, it's hard to know where to start, lol. I have been playing on Cordoba and Taylor guitars now for a few years and I like both brands. Good luck with your search and keep playing. Cheers
soooo good to hear that song again. good job young man
Thanks Paul, I appreciate it :-)
I am working this piece as we speak, absolutely love it and you played it beautifully...pure enjoyment!!!
Thank you Quintin!
Those harmonics in the end damn
Thank you!
very well liked
Thanks Mary!
those chords are so clear sounds better than the original , and I had the allied forces cassette (shows how old I am lol)
@@marykuchinski4978 I miss my Walkman, ha ha :-) I had Allied Forces on cassette too. Thanks again!
Nice playing. I've been playing guitar for 40 years and can't match this. Wish I kept up with the chops.
Thanks Dave. Keep pickin' :-)
Bravo my friend!
Thank you!
Beautiful song and performance Eddie, thanks for sharing!
Hey Drew, thanks buddy!
Beautifully performed! Serenity just when we need some.
Thanks Bret!
Very nicely done! Sweet, sweet playing and I love your touch and phrasing. A joy to hear!
Hi Doug,
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Cheers
Outstanding. Saw you guys in Portland Maine back in 83 or 84. Can't recall who opened for you and I want to say Foghat but too many years past to be sure
A blissful end....I know the feeling.
Cheers
Nice job!
Thanks Kevin!
Flawless.👍
Thank you!
Sweet!
Thanks Guy!
What are the make and model of this guitar? Also, which strings are you playing?
well done!
Thank you Jeff!
Dude, its really a pleasure listening to you play. You look like you're really enjoying yourself too. Are you mainly a fingerstyle guitarist? I play with my fingers almost exclusively. Every time I pick up a pick I end up tossing it. What guitars do you play. I am looking for a great guitar for fingerstyle (steel and nylon). I don't have very large hand either. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Hey Frank, thanks so much! I do mostly gig on acoustic and tend to play on nylon & steel acoustic a lot more than electric, although I do love to crank up the tubes. My main acoustic guitars are Taylor and Cordoba models. It’s always tough finding the right fit for your hands, I like flat necks but everyone is different. You definitely need to try out a bunch of different guitars, which is hard to do right now. Good luck.
I always enjoyed this song and would like to learn to play it. Where did you find the sheet music?
Hi Brian, I learned this over 30 years ago and I no longer have the original sheet music, which I believe was from a book of Triumph songs. Maybe check with Rik Emmett's website first to see if he has it available to download. Good luck in your search.
Any instructional video to learn this song from you
Thanks for asking, sorry I don't have time to do that right now. There are probably versions out there. I learned this from a book of Triumph songs about 35 years ago.
Is that based on Bach ?
