I don't see how this is humanly possible. The skill is otherworldly. Astonishing and so flawlessly beautiful, at times sounding like a harp. Great showman too. Just incredible on so many levels. Thank you for sharing.
I am 63 years young, have been playing acoustic guitar and electric guitar since I was 4..... am blessed to have had a guitar teacher who was a student of Segovia, and the best that I ever was, was poor to fair compared to some of the great guitar players. I have heard many of the greats play, and I know that there are hundreds, to numerous to mention..... but my major desire is to hear you play live. I consider you, if not the best guitar player... because you are so humble and respected, one of the best that I have ever heard! ☺️
It's over. Tommy has ascended to a place among musicians in that he sees over them. Short of Mozart composing on the piano, I just don't know anybody else with this sense of interpretation and skill set. The angels themselves are in awe of him.
WOW, I got teary-eyed watching him feel it and the sound was mindboggling! Isn't the internet wonderful? We get to listen to a work of beauty like we were right there. Thank you for this magical musical journey.
Born in 1942, so as a child I can say that this music was playing in the background of my early childhood. I guess most of it made an impact on my inner being,because I never deliberately made a decision to tune in to Les and Mary at the age of 6-7-8. At any rate, on those rare occasions,whenever I hear that music I can sing along . “Somewhere there’s music” indeed.Thanks for the beautiful gift from you and especially Les Paul. I have to say that I’m awaiting the arrival of several C. D’s from AMAZON. My family, great grandkids included, will be a captive audience for sure.
You know it's special when you can make every other musician in the room--including another guitar immortal--put their chins on their hands with a look of sheer bliss on their faces and just let the performance take them away.
Les Paul at the Iridium was one of the hidden treasures of NYC. Saw two shows. He was both entertaining and generous with showcasing other pickers. How intimidating must it have been to play with him sitting there watching. Now I’ve seen Tommy in concert twice as well and he’s a gem as well. I feel fortunate to have been in the presence of such incredible talent.
I've played guitar for over 50 years. When I listen to this I cry, for a whole variety of reasons.

To play for Les Paul, and to see him enjoying your music, must have been humbling. Even for the likes of Tommy Emanuel.
This bloke isn’t a guitarist….he is a bloody magician ! Magnificent.

When you can mesmerize Led Paul, you might be good! :-)
20 years ago my guitar teacher in school told me, "check out Tommy Emmanuel" I thank him to this day
Les Paul thinks.." why do I even bother?"... welcome to the club Les😂😂
the guitar goes for a smoke break after each song. The one only guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel ❤
I actually believe that there is magic in the world, and things like this are some of it. Incredible……
Priceless! Tommy Emmanuel raises the bar for ALL musicians, but especially for Guitarists!

There is no single note this gentelman is doing without a deep sense of presence and beauty. Bravo
Half a century old. Unquestionably the most beautiful performance I've had the absolute pleasure of enjoying.

What a great tribute to Les Paul. Tommy Emmanuel is legend. Maybe the best acoustic guitarist on the planet.
That performance leaves me frozen in awe . I think even Les was just amazed .
