I was convinced Tommy must have freakishly long fingers to make the reaches he seems to do so effortlessly. When he performed in my neck of the woods I got to have a few minutes with him alone post-performance in the green room. What a genuinely gracious man he is. I got a photo taken of my hand and fingers pressed against his. Lo and behold his finger length is pretty much the same as mine. He stated that the key to his freakish reaches is simply practice, practice, and more practice. He was certainly right. Within a few weeks of practicing longer reaches I was amazed what my fingers could suddenly do. Thank you Tommy!
A beautiful guitar for an exceptionally gifted guitarist. Keep up the great work and trust me when I say we'll keep on coming to watch. You are a hell of an inspiration.
Recently bought a Maton SRS808C from Sale in South Gippsland Victoria, a Gentleman walked in The shop keeper said hello Tom the Gentleman sat down and played. wow could he play when I got back to my car I thought O my ..was that you? ..throwing your guitar around yes morons is a good word, I could think of several others, ,,,,,,thankyou Tommy for your music......my Maton smells amazing and sound wonderful
Give Tommy a day or two with his often aggressive and always masterful technique and this one will look beat to hell! (If I had one of these guitars I'd freak at the first scratch.)
Anybody know what the nut width is on Maton guitars? Do they make any 1 7/8" (48mm)? They say nothing about nut width on their site or in the brochure.
It seems to me TE has this guitar tuned down a half or full step which is what he does on the bigger drednaught Maton. Putting medium gage strings on this little guitar otherwise may damage it. I own 2 of these 808s and Tommy is correct-they are the best.
I have the same guitar.Matin EBG808TE,..and I also use the same strings,...Martin FX Phosphore Bronze medium gauge...and the same amplifier AER Compact 60,...great sound,..but I am not Tommy Emmanuel!
neither try lakewood guitar any model...look up the next tommy emmanuel...his name is sungha jung...many tunes on youtube...even tommy is amazed with this youngster...enjoy
Actually the Rainsong guitars can. No wood required and they are frigging amazing. The bummer is that Rainsong won't make me a lefty but Maton will. Go figure.

I found that stretching practice is essential for reaching level 4 of 96 on Emanuel scale too.
Tommy is a national treasure. 👍
When he plays, the joy of music comes out.
Absolutely love Tommy Emmanuel. Wonderful musician, great character.

i just wonder how many guitars this great man has sold for Maton .......thanks for the beautiful music you make TE.
Fantastic, thanks Tommy 🙌🏻👏🏻

great Tommy :)
Yes, as someone commented, why do much fret buzz? Tommy must like the strings adjusted very low, is all I can think of.
Give Tommy a day or two with his often aggressive and always masterful technique and this one will look beat to hell! (If I had one of these guitars I'd freak at the first scratch.)
i have never heard about Maton guitar before but nice guitar.
Nicely done T 👌🏻
that's a Maton EBG808TE
Are they available in Canada?
Love the strap

What a beautiful sound. Who makes these guitars?
matonギターはじめて
知りました。
欲しくなりました。
とってもいいギターですよ。
which 808 is this? it sounds fabulous! i wanna get one!
Matons fucking awesome.
ok thanks heaps guys :D I'm looking at getting an 808 and would love for it to sound that huge! but why does he hate elixers so much?
He said Latvia! :) But in his website there are no records about visiting Latvia.. So confused..

Que som é esse? eu quero uma guitar dessas
Молодец!!
Damn, that man can rock a maton
What gig bag does the man use? Mono? Gator? Reunion Blues?
It appears that it is the AER Pocket Tools Colourizer see:
aer-amps.com /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=386&Itemid=100410&lang=en
So the mic and the pickup have separate volumes but only send out one signal?
As MrAlphaking and ilmatteo95 said, mostly he uses Martin SP and I think he likes the D'addario next...but he absolutely hates Elixers.
Hmm... this guitar or a Martin OMCPA4 Rosewood??
Wow...His guitar sounds so amazing! What brand of strings does he have on there?
He is using Martin strings (retro style).
I want that guitar soooo bad... :D
I have the same guitar.Matin EBG808TE,..and I also use the same strings,...Martin FX Phosphore Bronze medium gauge...and the same amplifier AER Compact 60,...great sound,..but I am not Tommy Emmanuel!
ValerioMansueti I'm pretty sure you play really well!!
me?...well I really would like it!..anyway thanks a lot!
actually you don't have the same guitar, what you see here is a T.E Personal custom shop model.. costs like 3 EBG808TE :)
Frano (a boy from Croatia) will be the next Tommy.
Maton or gibson sj200 Peoples? =D
he uses the Martin SP strings most of the time
what brand of strings is a good set?
Tommy Emmanuel uses elixer or elixir guitar strings on all his guitars
teawapuni hadfield he uses Martin strings
@@teawapunihadfield5775 martin flexible core martin string
maton made in australia, himself born in this country
2:45 LOL! So true...

neither try lakewood guitar any model...look up the next tommy emmanuel...his name is sungha jung...many tunes on youtube...even tommy is amazed with this youngster...enjoy
For ukrainian guz it is almost impossible to buy this beauty...
Yeah, but you could hand Tommy a 59 dollar Kmart guitar and he would make it sound world class:-)
Actually the Rainsong guitars can. No wood required and they are frigging amazing. The bummer is that Rainsong won't make me a lefty but Maton will. Go figure.
that's a pretty low action Guitar
i would beat the shit out of the guy who didnt treat tommys guitar to perfection
