Default Another Tommy Emmanuel cover

My humble attempt at Mombasa, which Tommy Emmanuel wrote while on tour in Africa. I was not able to get it to work with a flatpick as he plays it, and had to take some liberties with some of the stretches. Thanks for watching.

Great playing. I enjoyed that and it looks like you did, too. I think even Tommy E. would be impressed.
