+giverecords Couldn't agree more!! I've been uploading some stuff over the past few weeks. I'd appreciate it if you could check them out. Feel free to critique me :)
Yes but you can’t hear the kid. You can never hear the kid. No Matter who he plays with you can’t hear the other guy. He’d drown out Segovia. He’s an alpha male. Kind. Generous. Brilliant. But a showboat.
@@robertlee8042 Absolute crap. I could hear the kid more than Tommy. It's because Tommy is blending with the kid which makes you confused who is playing what.
Connor... I have met Tommy on several occasions, and every time he has been as gracious a gentleman as he was with you. As you get older you will realize how fortunate you were to have these moments with the world's best musician. You did a fantastic job on Cowboys Dream! Keep practicing every day, and we ALL will be buying YOUR music someday! :-) Peace from Kentucky, the birthplace of fingerstyle!
There's not a more humble, nicest musician anywhere on the planet. TE you're a gift to music and humanity. You made this kid's day/year/life lol. Connor you did great. Awesome video.
Well done young man. It should be noted that Tommy's brother Phil was also a very kind and sharing person who would also stop and share his time and skills.
This young boy has such a beautiful innocent and kind demeanor. How wonderful that he was able to play with a hero of his and enjoy this moment! Blessed!
How many top stars would give that time to a young kid?? just goes to show what a genuine bloke he is, no wonder he has such a good reputation the world over for having his feet on the ground.
I'm so very pleased I watched this , Conner well done!!!! ....just keep practicing....there is a old saying Practice makes Perfect..... Very true..... Tommy thank you for being such a wonderful amazing fella to pass on some of your knowledge to this young man Conner.... you said all the RIGHT THINGS to him..... :) xo
Great job Conner, talented lad and a good Geordie lad, fantastic playing, meeting Tommy must have been a buzz, and you held your own, made me proud, i'm rubbish at guitar, but i'm obsessed with them, well done and keep it up, brilliant
Nice playing Connor. See, this is one of the many great things Tommy does. He is taking the time with younger players, giving them advice and inspiring them. Truly a man with "a green thumb".
As always its wonderful just as a RUclips viewer to absorb some of Tommy's words of inspiration, even though I play a different instrument its such a humble thing to see a guy on his caliber spend almost 15 mins of his time with a young fan backstage, what an absolute gent, and I hope you do well to young Connor, looking forward to your vids (Y)
Brilliant! Well done, young man! I recall your feelings when I sat and played "Drive Time" in front of Tommy last summer here in the states (New Mexico). I was just in awe of the man and still am. How to get better? Three words..GET TO WORK!! Play on, brother.
Great video, I was lucky enough to spend about 25 days in Tennessee at the same time and place as tommy and he would let me sit and listen to him practice every day. He amazed me every time then a couple months later I found out he was voted best acoustic guitar player by the readers of guitar player magazine.... amaZing
Great video. Tommy is always so genuine with everyone he meets. I truly believe he relishes this time with young players like you, Conner, more than sometimes even being on stage.
That's brilliant, Connor.You did really well. I saw Tommy play just before that, when he was in Basingstoke. Like he says, keep at it - play every day, as much as you can and whenever you hear someone great, go back and play even more!
These are always tear jerkers lol. If you play, you know what it's like to worship fellow human beings. To watch Connor's face as he's trying to process what's occurring is reliving cherished memories.
unbelievable. Good lad yourself for going and talking to him. He'll have been absolutely chuffed to show you some stuff. It'll have been as rewarding for him as it was for you! good lad!
What a great video. And what an inspiration for young Connor. Connor - you are already pretty damned good. Keep at it lad and you will have fame and fortune I am sure. Inspirational stuff.
Thank you for recording this. Conner you are a wonderful player you two sounded great together. Keep picking and i can't wait to hear your recordings and see you play live. Great work :-)
I feel inspired just by seeing him talk to you. What a feeling for you to be in front of him, jamming, playing your guitar and giving you a advice. Be passionate like him and be humble. I subscribe to you, i look forward for your videos! Goodluck! :D
Fantastic playing Connor, you sound great even with the nerves upon you and I know how that feels. Thanks also for getting some really great questions and answers from Tommy. Glad I followed this click, keep it up ^^ :)
Well played Connor!! I guess Tommy felt the same when he met Chet for the first time. You're an amazing young man with plenty of musical talent and ability and it's plain to see Tommy recognised that straight away. He has the ability to close the years between you so that you were like two kids comparing 'notes' on a tune you've learned. For me the man is a 'Tour de Force'. Good luck in all you do Connor.
Great playing connor i am seriously impressed! And green with envy that you jammed with Tommy.. His advice is so true as well! You'd do well to listen to him methinks :)
This was awesome to watch, I had the pleasure of seeing TE and Martin Taylor not long ago at Sherperds Bush in London, but I don't think I could handle playing in his presence lol. Keep at it my man, you've got a good set of fingers!
Yo Connor, you need to post some videos up on here man, even if its your own compositions or some of Tommys, keep practising and playing mate, RUclips is a great way to showcase your talent friend, I've subscribed, take care!
What a kind, generous, amazing guy… thanks Tommy for being one of the greatest ambassadors for music on the planet!
+giverecords Couldn't agree more!! I've been uploading some stuff over the past few weeks. I'd appreciate it if you could check them out. Feel free to critique me :)
You see where I signed his guitfiddle.
Tommy! Mate! You gave up 15 minutes of your time to play with this young lad, and you never once patronised or talked down...God bless you.
Yes but you can’t hear the kid. You can never hear the kid. No
Matter who he plays with you can’t hear the other guy. He’d drown out Segovia. He’s an alpha male. Kind. Generous. Brilliant. But a showboat.
Lol. To conclude that from this video... I think you need help.
@@robertlee8042 Absolute crap. I could hear the kid more than Tommy. It's because Tommy is blending with the kid which makes you confused who is playing what.

Tommy's not just a great guitarist, he's wonderful person...
I think its really cool that tommy goes backstage and spends time with his fans, great guy.
+john dennis I know right! Not only that; but he stays in regular contact with me :D He's helped me improve massively over recent years
+john dennis True. I wonder how many of popular musician actually does that. (I'm not criticizing other musicians, just saying Tommy is amazing)
john dennis
Absolutely!!! A very noble musician. He shows kindness and humility. Love him for that!
There's not a more humble, nicest musician anywhere on the planet. TE you're a gift to music and humanity. You made this kid's day/year/life lol. Connor you did great. Awesome video.
Well done young man. It should be noted that Tommy's brother Phil was also a very kind and sharing person who would also stop and share his time and skills.
True. He was a great guitarist and loved to share his outstanding musical gift with others just as Tommy does.
Tommy you are a wonderful person. The effect you have on young musicians is life changing and priceless. You are blessed and loved.
Tommy is proof you don't have to sell your soul
Darn it...
to the company stooooore ! ;)
This young boy has such a beautiful innocent and kind demeanor. How wonderful that he was able to play with a hero of his and enjoy this moment!
Blessed!
How many top stars would give that time to a young kid?? just goes to show what a genuine bloke he is, no wonder he has such a good reputation the world over for having his feet on the ground.
Not many. He's one of a kind for sure.
I can't tell if Tommy is better at being human or better at playing guitar.
And congratulations Conner
He loves both passionately.
Ha. Beautiful comment man. That's like which came first, the chicken or the egg ;). So true.
Well said!
Legend at both. Top thought on your part.
Whatever happens the rest of your life kid, you can always say , Hey , I played with Tommy Emmanuel.
ps, you are also very good, keep it up.
Tommy Emmanuel is a blessing from above. The compassion and time he spends helping others is amazing. My favorite artist of all time.🙏🏻✝️
Tommy is always happy to sit with another guitarist and play. A humble legend.
Real actual legends are always humble. God gives you that when you get to the top of the highest mountain.
What a wonderfully gracious and giving person Tommy is!!!!!!!!
Way to be Connor! Much respect.
Tommy E, to be the finest in the world, and so kind, humble and gracious.
Tommy's such a great inspiration to so many young (and older players) like myself.
Long may you continue Tommy. Pure respect!!!
Ive met with Tommy several times and the time he has for people day or night is amazing. He is a true living legend.
A great man, in my humble opinion he’s simply the best not only in his guitar playing but in his outlook in life 👍🇦🇺
I'm so very pleased I watched this , Conner well done!!!! ....just keep practicing....there is a old saying Practice makes Perfect..... Very true..... Tommy thank you for being such a wonderful amazing fella to pass on some of your knowledge to this young man Conner.... you said all the RIGHT THINGS to him..... :) xo
Tommy's beautiful soul really shines through this act of kindness to a young fellow
Great job Conner, talented lad and a good Geordie lad, fantastic playing, meeting Tommy must have been a buzz, and you held your own, made me proud, i'm rubbish at guitar, but i'm obsessed with them, well done and keep it up, brilliant
Nice playing Connor. See, this is one of the many great things Tommy does. He is taking the time with younger players, giving them advice and inspiring them. Truly a man with "a green thumb".
Tommy, what a great person. So humble. In my experience the greatest musos are usually the nicest. Great vibe tommy you spread.
Thats as humble a genius can be! Great inspiration!
this is definitely what the world needs more of !!!!!!!!!!!!
"He washed the car for six months to get the guitar" That's a some great parenting teaching the young man responsiiblity and hard work. Great job!!
Groupies will find the backseat comfy and clean after shows, right Connor ma boy? bahahahahahaha
Ce grand virtuose respire la générosité. Quelle simplicité. Un GRAND Monsieur.
Tommy is the best I hope this wee lad is still picking this is class cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
What a class man.....I bet that day changed your life!
What a luxury to hear and see such an amazing guitarest like Tommy.Wow!Great advice from a master.
As always its wonderful just as a RUclips viewer to absorb some of Tommy's words of inspiration, even though I play a different instrument its such a humble thing to see a guy on his caliber spend almost 15 mins of his time with a young fan backstage, what an absolute gent, and I hope you do well to young Connor, looking forward to your vids (Y)
Heart warming encouragement from the maestro, Lovely to watch.
Fantastic! Well played young man...keep it up!
Brilliant! Well done, young man! I recall your feelings when I sat and played "Drive Time" in front of Tommy last summer here in the states (New Mexico). I was just in awe of the man and still am. How to get better? Three words..GET TO WORK!! Play on, brother.
Can't help but love ❤️ this bloke!

He amazed me every time then a couple months later I found out he was voted best acoustic guitar player by the readers of guitar player magazine.... amaZing
That's awesome. One of my favorites, and Tommy just starts throwing in harmony, like it's nothing. Very cool!
Outstanding!!! How great you had they opportunity to talk TE.
All the very best to you in everything you do.
Great video. Tommy is always so genuine with everyone he meets. I truly believe he relishes this time with young players like you, Conner, more than sometimes even being on stage.
I could listen to Tommy for ages.
That's brilliant, Connor.You did really well. I saw Tommy play just before that, when he was in Basingstoke. Like he says, keep at it - play every day, as much as you can and whenever you hear someone great, go back and play even more!
you are THE MAN! when i had the chance to play with him i chickened out. one of the biggest regrets of my life.
These are always tear jerkers lol. If you play, you know what it's like to worship fellow human beings. To watch Connor's face as he's trying to process what's occurring is reliving cherished memories.
What a terrific experience for you Conner. Keep working hard on your playing. You're already doing very, very well.
So nice to see the big smile in his face ! A dreame became true ! Wonderfull video !
That is the sweetest thing i have ever seen you must be a very proud dad. What a brilliant lil lad
So amazing to see someone famous take the time to even sit down with his fans. How incredible

Tommy is so humble... great post..
Great video....what a nice bloke....a true ambassador for the guitar....
What a great video. And what an inspiration for young Connor. Connor - you are already pretty damned good. Keep at it lad and you will have fame and fortune I am sure. Inspirational stuff.
Tommy's advice is spot on! be hungry and become like a sponge and soak up every bit of knowledge you can.
Thank you for recording this. Conner you are a wonderful player you two sounded great together. Keep picking and i can't wait to hear your recordings and see you play live. Great work :-)
I feel inspired just by seeing him talk to you. What a feeling for you to be in front of him, jamming, playing your guitar and giving you a advice. Be passionate like him and be humble. I subscribe to you, i look forward for your videos! Goodluck! :D
What a great man. And great job Connor!
Kid, you did a stand-up job! I hope one day you get to honor Tommy the same way he honored Chet. Take the torch and pass the torch freely. Blessings!

Brilliant stuff Connor!
Fantastic Conner!!! You are a great player.
Wonderful moment! Lucky you, Connor! You're a good player
Just impossible to knock the guy. He's one of the best guitarists in the world and has such extraordinary humility. A great person.
Great choice of guitars. I can tell by your comments that I like you as I was lucky enough to meet Tommy as well. Great choice of songs by the way.
Well now that was freakin awesome!
Tommy God Bless You !! Thanks Tommy
thanks for sharing video with us
He's such a wonderful musician and a nice nice man!
Well played Connor!! I guess Tommy felt the same when he met Chet for the first time. You're an amazing young man with plenty of musical talent and ability and it's plain to see Tommy recognised that straight away. He has the ability to close the years between you so that you were like two kids comparing 'notes' on a tune you've learned. For me the man is a 'Tour de Force'. Good luck in all you do Connor.
Great playing connor i am seriously impressed! And green with envy that you jammed with Tommy.. His advice is so true as well! You'd do well to listen to him methinks :)
The most gracious dude!
This is a very inspiring video, keep it up Connor, It's a wonderful memory to have, Tommy Emmanuel giving advice and tuning your guitar. Wow
Bravo Connor. Hope you listened! Also hope to hear from you in future....on mainsteam media.
Amazing !
What an awesome position to be in. You were totally cool with it, too.
Not only an awesome guitarist an awesome person aswell
Connor that was very good. You got a good future ahead of you.And remember,when you get famous,to be as kind and humble as Tommy.
Well done Connor you will remember that for the rest of your life. Great stuff !! Regards, Phil
So cool. You guys played well together! Very tight
This was awesome to watch, I had the pleasure of seeing TE and Martin Taylor not long ago at Sherperds Bush in London, but I don't think I could handle playing in his presence lol. Keep at it my man, you've got a good set of fingers!
lovely video, thanks for sharing.
Awesome Connor! You did some good picking too and should be proud. Don't be afraid to post some of your own material either. Great job.
one of the things i love more of Tommy Emmanuel is his willingness and dedication with young musicians...
Yo Connor, you need to post some videos up on here man, even if its your own compositions or some of Tommys, keep practising and playing mate, RUclips is a great way to showcase your talent friend, I've subscribed, take care!
