Hello, fellow guitar enthusiasts!

Welcome back to the second part of our Tommy Emmanuel guitar lesson series, where we'll continue to unravel the secrets behind Tommy's mesmerizing rendition of 'Imagine' by John Lennon.

As we delve into the latter portion of the song, make sure your guitar is tuned to drop D, following Tommy's unique style. Consider using a thumbpick to capture that signature Emmanuel magic.

While the majority of this 'Imagine' arrangement remains intermediate-friendly, brace yourself for the challenge of the bewitching cascading harmonics towards the end. Don't be discouraged; remember that Tommy has performed 'Imagine' without these harmonics, providing you with options – either skip them or take on the challenge head-on! ;-) If you enjoy these tutorial videos, don't forget to hit the 'subscribe' button and give the video a 'like.'

So, grab your favorite drink, your trusty guitar, get your brain in focus mode, and let's dive right into the second part of Tommy Emmanuel's 'Imagine' tutorial!
