"Hearts grow fonder" by Tommy Emmanuel (instrumental)
From the Dare to be different album
Transcribed by Steve M. (maxmar@wire.net.au)
I worked out most of this song after watching tommy play it on his
"guitar talk" video and just put in the missing pieces. I haven't
tried working out that nifty acoustic solo yet, but anyhow, enjoy.
Tuning: normal
b = bend
/ = slide up
\\ = slide down
v = vibrato
h = hammer on
p = pull off
^ = palm mute
Riff 1 - electric guitar (with a little distortion)

Now play riff 1 again, but replace the last bar (above) with this:

Well that's it for now, the rest of the song (apart from the acoustic
solo)
is just variations on riff 1, with a few extra bits here and there.
