Very true. He sings, he plays pretty much every music genre one could ever imagine playing. It's impossible to pin his music into *any one* genre of music. He can play American country music and folk music, or heavy metal rock, soul, R and B, whatever he likes. That's what makes him a favourite of mine. :)
@@roadglide I agree. He's among my favourite musicians in the world. My other favourites include (Sir) Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash. Just so many to choose from.
The maestro again shows why he's the best guitarist in the world! What a way to start a Sunday morning! Tommy's music gets your blood pumping, your toes tapping, your brain wondering how he does it and your soul going "Yes, today is a good day". Thank you sir!
I love dissecting his arrangements. He truly is one of my biggest inspirations that brought me back after losing 60% of my capability due to grand seizures. I arranged a django version of hit the road jack after watch him and Igor play it. Reamin in Good Company Ralph. Thanks for supporting the arts.
What a joy it is to be alive at the same time as Tommy Emmanuel. I’ve even had occasion to see him perform live, something I will never forget. He absolutely stands alone in terms of total and complete mastery; he represents a mathematical limit in terms of expertise. Others may try to get close, but his perfection will simply never be reached by anyone. The instrument is an extension of Tommy and Tommy is an extension of the instrument. He has achieved a level where technique and physical skill are transcended; he is completely free to play whatever he wants, whenever he wants. In my mind the greatest guitarist that has ever lived or ever will live.
stewart,you are deadon right.a quick story about tommy.i was listening and watching him perform and for a short time like a flash . moment. him and the guitar were one,not just a good player and guitar,but the two merged as one. this was another video a few years back. i dont understand this thought lla ,
He is the best because he is a guitar magician . Nobody can touch his energy or imagination. He has devoted his life to playing an instrument and it shows in every note he plays.👏👏👏🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
Why why why have I just now found this guy??? Been enjoying music, poorly play, mostly listen, for 40 years and have just NOW discovered this wonderfully talented aussie. Thank Al Gore Rhythm.
Tommy, ça fait 15 ans que je t'écoute, et ça fait 15 ans que tu me colles des claques monumentales... Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où tu m'as fait rire, enrager, jubiler et pleurer, tout cela en quelques minutes ! Tu es une usine à sensations, un catalyseur d'émotions, une machine à rêve : MERCI pour tout !
I love how Tommy never plays a tune the same way twice. He always brings out how he is feeling at that exact moment so no two performances are exactly the same. A true artist. Never heard Fuel before. Love that one! Would love to get the tab/sheet music for that! It looks like one of his more manageable ones (which still puts it at 9.5 out of 10 difficulty lol)
Such an amazing song, I lost the ability to play without pain a few years ago and I've never stopped wanting to play again I played for about 15 minutes the other day and had fun but unfortunately my hands ached later. I've given up on playing again mostly but still love music.
The best, amazing, surreal.... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🙏🎧
If i could give the years of my life to tommy i would have endend my life about 15 year ago so his magic, kindness, and personality could continue to astonish the rest of the world.
One of the BEST GUITAR players in the world........... HE LOVES PLAYING THE GUITAR AND MUSIC..........UNBELIEVABLE AND FANTASTIC....... AWESOME BRO........!!!!!
He is the creator of this earth. Just he himself likes to play guitar so he lives here as a human. That's why he plays perfect because he is the God. Hail Tommy Emmanuel
The man is a giant atop a magic mountain, for guitarists and all musicians. After watching him play and listening to his songs it is a bit enticing to just put the guitar aside not play anymore, ever!. How can this level of talent possibly be topped? However, he is so humble and inspiring he makes me want to practice even more! I don't know if I am dumb, stubborn or both.
@@mikelazar5610 I am still not happy with my level of playing. We're talking 50 years with guitars here! Way too much enjoyment from them to ever give them up. Just because a person possibly can't play as well as another person doesn't mean that person can't make a better song. Individuality is key.
What do you mean didn't miss a single note. He added a thousand more perfectly played notes in that song than the original way it was recorded. LOL !!! There is no guitarist like him in the world and I listen to many good players.
@@Freakybananayo I wasn't arguing with you. You are right, he doesn't miss any notes he plans on playing and the way he plays them are sweet and sassy to the ears.
This mas is an inspiration to all and has given to this world more than he could ever take; it hurts to watch someone I have so much love for age but it brings such joy to see the progression of mastery withing this mans soul. All who study music bow before you my friend. you are a light that will never fade
The thing that continually blows me away with Tommy’s playing is his ability to convey emotion in every single note,every chord and phrase. An absolute master that we’re all thankful to have here.
Wow - Classical Gas played off the charts! First time I ever saw you play in person was maybe 92-93 Launceston's Brisbane Street Mall one lunch time, You played this very song. Tears come to ones' eyes when witnessing how far you can actually take a song forward like this. Well done sir. Will never tire of listening to you play, just like so many others. Selah.
I don't know what impresses me the most, your unbelievable guitar skills or your gentle personality. One thing is totally clear, it's a perfect combination. Thank you for all the joy you spread
I have been to see Tommy 3 times, took the whole family, had the opportunity to talk to him. Had our picture made, he is an awesome man. He is a great person, as well as one of, if not the best guitar player in the world.
After watching the shit show of news here in the US, this puts such a smile on my face it was such a refreshing change of pace. So glad to see you putting new videos out. I can’t think of anything that makes me happier than watching a new Tommy Emmanuel post
He recited this song very well. I really admire you with great fingering. Wishing you good health, playing the special guitar for everyone. Tommy Emmanuel I love you so much! NGOC CUONG PHU, from Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province - Vietnam
Tommy has to be the best guitarist in the world. He excels in every style he plays.

He’s definitely one of them. The worlds has many incredible musicians.

I'm a guitarist for 40 years and I enjoy every Tommy's note. Every performance of him is a journey. Incredible as always!!!!
23 years for me and I feel the same way. Keep rockin man!! Next stop, 50 years!! 🎸
The chord progression of Fuel is pure gold
Australian Guru Guitar
You're perfect
With love from Russia 💙 i am Street musician
Thanks for making this world a better place master Emmanuel
If someone could hook up a small generator to his left leg, I bet it could power a small town!
Hahaha TRUE!!!
I love how diverse his audience is
It's so cool how each performance has something unique, like inserting "Taking it to the Streets". Well played!
Doobie Brothers Easter Egg!
How did he not miss a single note? Every pluck rings perfectly clear.
My face just melted, an absolute genius
Unbelievably musical and creative

Same here!! Thankfully we know now!
So good it brought tears to my eyes! We love you here in the states!
How can anyone be this good

Tommy has tabs on his website, definitely worth the $3,50
Check out tim van roy on youtube. He has a great lesson on fuel
@@philhellmuth2771 Tim's lesson is fantastic. Been working on it for a couple of weeks now.
Yeah! Maestro!!!!👏🏻👏🏼👏👏🏻👏🏼👏
I could listen to your playing all day. Love ya Tommy!
he has more energy then me in my thirties
Pure unbridled attitude! And a 'roo on the headstock..... killer!
Imagine the joy he has brought to the world and himself by his mastery, There are no words
This ole country strummer loves you, sir. Keep picking.
Meraviglioso. Come sempre.
Cheers ❤😊❤❤😊❤❤

When you play both songs so much they start to blend.
I've done this with gas and every song that roots Am & Em that i know
The main secret of his technique is he plays guitar with bottom of his heart and touch each and every one soul !
Loved this version of Classical Gas!!!
Lord thank you for bringing Tommy Emanuel into this world to sooth and restore my weary soul with such beautiful melodies.

"Fuel" is really cool and inspiring. Gonna petty steal all of it right now
I hate watching him get old. When he's gone the future generations will never get to see his live performances

Tommy gehört auf alle Fälle zu den besten 10 Gitarristen der welt. Meine Meinung. Vielleicht sogar zu den Besten fünf !!

I think the longer hair makes him look a bit older, good tight haircut do the trick.... He is something else though 🤯
Tommy knws to bring the best quality tune out from his guitar ....its the way he touches the string...
Oooaaaa Tommy is the best of the best....no words...number one between guitarist in the world Thanks Tommy for your work every day and many hours
That's how amazing life is!
when you can use it wisely.
that's when you're blissful.
Love you, Tommy.
A true legend, A savior.
Tommy you are the best guitar player
The master himself
Maestro. I wish I get to see you someday. Words can't describe the feeling.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep on rocking Tommy!!!! :D
Positive way to put restless leg syndrome to use it a sufferer!! Tommy - a hero for so many! Simply amazing.
The thing that continually blows me away with Tommy’s playing is his ability to convey emotion in every single note,every chord and phrase. An absolute master that we’re all thankful to have here.
Nice! I love how he used fuels baseline for gas's first chorus!
Imma go learn fuel and do that too!
Cyall in 2 more years...
Age 65,, Just a number,, We need more Tommy Emmanuel's..

I love that he always puts a new spin on some of his old old standards, what a creative mind this man has
Haha Tommy always knows how to be funny and brilliant when he is going to perform a piece of music
god of music
finally i found a video that nobody asks for a TAB
Cause they know they can't play it 😂
@@suyashshrestha4317 lol. All of his stuff is already so easy to find tab for as well
You CAN"T DO a tab on that kind of SKILL !!!
