In this segment Tommy shows you how to play the song “House of the Rising Sun”.

This is an old song that makes a wonderful instrumental, the most popular likely being The Animals’ version. The melody in this tune is based on the vocal melody, played over a boom chick bass line. There’s some ideas stolen from Chet Atkins from a version he played with Mark Knopfler, and even an original Tommy Emmanuel lick thrown onto the end of the verse!
