tommyemmanuel....
I play this every morning, just before I wake up.
I tried to play this, when I was sleeping. I couldn't
Your dreams are living in a fantasy world.
You need big brain and Big PP to understand this LOL
Hahaha
The original though is manageable.
I thought I'd never be able to play this song. 10 years later, I was right
lol!
it's possible 7 months not even close but good enough
I'd need 3arms
They’re waiting for you Gordon, in the test chamberrrrr.
Bahahaha
What amazes me more is that he did this while his left leg ran a half marathon
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was/is a drummer also. That's how he keeps time.
This made me LOL
His guitar probably ran more marathons than his leg did
His left leg acts as a metronome, same thing drummers do
While most guitar players tune their guitars to the standard E A D G B E, Tommy tunes his to W T F H O W.
😂😂
I tried playing this before and my guitar actually laughed at me 😭
Same tuning Mike Dawes uses, just check his version of Van Halens Jump.
@@shorerocks oof... I somehow hadn't seen that one 🥺
Now that's an amazing setup
0:00 I'm gonna learn this
0:01 fuck.
Fucking gold
+Shaohan8 made my day, thanks :)
😂😂best youtube comment I've ever read!
best comment ever.
+Shaohan8 ahahahahahah exactly ahahahha
I come here whenever I think I'm getting good at guitar.
It’s better to watch really good players because it pushes you to be better. If you were better then everyone you watched you would have no drive to improve. Now you do
@@calebpagan2226 It's a joke genius
That means you’re staying humble and getting better
@@Elemblue2 ~ You're.*
@@NeoAkira101 calm down prick
I thought I'd try to play this on guitar, but then I decided to try something easier like quantum physics
Yeah dude. Yeah.
Lmao
😅😂🤣
No go ahead and start with something simpler you know what cardiac surgery?
Fucking FACTS
I lost my gig at the coffeeshop to this guy.
You can keep you gig if you just cover the costs of my lessons
👽👍🏻👹💥🔥😅
😂😂😂😂
Roger did it better.
How did I find this song because of that episode
This is the definition of : I paid for the whole guitar and I might as well use all of it.
Arabic front name Chinese surname? just curious... never heard such a name it's very unique... or is it from a specific country? (plz don't take it negative)
@@barneystinson9237 Glad that you're curious, well I'm from Northeast India. The first name in my native tongue language means 'Chosen One' but the Surname just doesn't have any meaning at all just like the rest of the world but it just has a history to it that passes on from generation after generation. And it was believed that decades ago, people with that surname comes from a cult that do black magic and stuffs.
@@balajiedlyngdoh8366 wow thats pretty dope. Wish my name was any interesting
See how worn that guitar is? It's three months old...
Guitar must be satisfied more then human .
When I was young I wanted to play the guitar so badly, after years and years of hard work and dedication I can play the guitar badly
perfect
HAHAHA!
You da man..
At least you are honest.ha ha
You dont need to master an instrument to grasp its potential and use it to create something new. If you can play 3 chords youre fine. Dont compare to people which dedicated way more time into it. Its ok to be mediocre in technique when you put your heart and mind to it ;)
0:00 “I might learn to play this!”
0:01 “never mind”
hahaha
😂😂😂
Nice one.
ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ
🤣🤣🤣 exactly my reaction bahahahaha
He’s not playing the guitar. He’s telling it what the f**k to do and it’s listening.
The man is genius and he’s a great person. A winning combo!
I know that's right. I've watched so much of Tommy and I just might have figured it out. Well, not quite. But, progress anyway...
Got to see him live. Amazing musician
> He’s telling it what the f**k to do and it’s listening.
I agree, but I'm not so fond of that sort of relationship
So... I heard this on American dad, and I honestly thought it was cut together from random classical pieces for the show. Was not aware someone actually was capable of playing this. Mind sufficiently blown. Incredible!
I still prefer Mason Williams acoustic version but this guy is amazing!
"You get the drift, I win..."
@@powerbub1228 This is conversation not a competition, please no wagering.
I thought it was Calum Graham, when I first heard it
I had to know, not disappointed to find another impressive artist 👏 👏 🙌
Me too! I was just going to check out the cartoon funny parts...and I’m stunned
I know it's a very challenging piece to learn but I have been practicing this every day for 2 years and I am 50% there. I am able to tap my left foot and I own a striped shirt.
Nearly there mate!
@@peters7126 I feel that I have come along way! 😉
I am not boring to watch even 24 hours night and day..HA.HA.HA
Lol
I laughed so hard I passed some classical gas
Thoughts of a non-guitar player: "Damn, I should start playing guitar!"
Thoughts of a guitar player: "Damn, I should stop playing guitar!"
basically
schoeni that is exactly how it feels
True stories
spot on
So true😂
I dedicated MONTHS to learning this song a few years ago. And while I technically could play it, I didn't understand what was going on musically. It was basically just a party trick. I had no way to translate the practice into anything else. I also realized I still didn't sound nearly as good as Mr. Emmanuel here because I lacked something crucial that I never considered. Dynamics. I was only focused on playing the right notes on time and never had any real feeling behind what I was playing. In short it just sounded boring. It's amazing how you can improve your own playing in ways you didn't expect just by hearing the greats play. I'll never be better than Tommy, but I can be better than I was last week.
I felt exactly like this when I learned Tommy's song Blood Brother. Then I started to become picky about every detail, how I hold the pick, where on the string I strike, how fast and hard to strike the chords and strings, vibrato etc... It makes all the difference
Well said.
Yeah, stage one is to just memorize the 5million-note sequences. The dynamics will usually bring themselves in unconsciously over time, after you've gotten comfortable with not having to constantly think about where your hand has to be next.
It carries over into other songs, though, for sure. You learn something that tough and then go back and play an easy song you know, and you'll play the easy one 10× smoother than before
I guarantee you couldn't play this song. The ego on you. Post it
I think you really nailed it. I am deeply impressed by the dynamics AND feeling all through this rendition of a beloved piece!!!
I think this guy has some potential
haha thats so funny :-)
This kid is just:"OMG!"
He could be a fingerstyle guitarist.
@@illusionfate2815 😂
Needs more practice I think
I caught my guitar watching this. We're going through a difficult patch right now...
Hehe
Don't worry, divorce your guitar and marry a piano! That's will make you love your guitar more than ever
@@DANGVINH17 If I left my guitar for a piano, I'd have to give up most of my cover songs. Divorce sounds easy, but right now it's better if we communicated our needs and try to understand each other without judgement.
Classy...That is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Thanks:)
@@classydays43 I'm glad you're happy, my friend, pianos tend to be incredibly loyal. Most of them like it rough too
So inspirational. After watching this I took up football.
HAHAHAHA
Jeff Hubbard, dang it! I laughed so loud I woke up the kids!! totally worth it...
How's the football going
underated gahha
dhvsheabdh he saw a football match and then decided to just play madden/fifa or whatever football he’s referring to
After watching this ,I was given inspiration. To sell my guitar.
I've always wanted to play the guitar badly, but now I can...play it badly that is. 🙂
😂😂
I burned mine.
LMAO this made me spit out my drink
Nooooooooo!
One of those amazing guitarists that makes you want to put your guitar into the fireplace
😂
Don’t just yet, we’re all striving maybe not to his level of skill, but we can be almost as unique as him! Who knows, a style is half of the part to developing in guitar.
Sweet warm sound!
Too late. sniff sniff
Ken oath
I watch this about once a year, thinking as I get better at guitar it will make more sense. But honestly, the more I understand what he's actually doing here the more impressive and unbelievable it gets.
I've been binge watching for 2 weeks
The impressive stuff is the dexterity he has as well as the ability to create good beats and dynamics, the actual song itself is just an A minor riffing.
Just started playing last year. This confounds me how a human can rip up a instrument like this.
I bet he's got a guitar luthier oncall.
@@SuperBroncosguy lol!!
That's exactly why I'm here. Once again brother. Respect
Who else still comes back here ever so often to listen to this masterpiece
And it still feels the same as when I first listened to it
I’m usually here at least once a month. Just as good this time as it was the first
A few times a year. Goose bumps everytime.
It makes me feel a combination of elation and wanting to throw my guitar in the trash!
From 2012 til now
"You get the drift. I win." 😂
“Then it’s a deal…”
Arrrrrghhh….!!!🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha i’m so glad someone else knew where the original was after watching the episode 😂
Get clapping cuz it’s over. 💅
Listen buddy you clearly won, but I reallllyyy need this gig 😩
I swear they used this version too 🤣
I was lucky enough to have a jam with him in the early 90's when I was a work experience kid at his manager's music shop in Melbourne. Just the two of us in a rehearsal room, with two cheap acoustic guitars. I'll never forget it. Such a nice guy, he spent over half an hour of his time teaching me a few riffs and showing just how beyond skilled he is. I performed "guitar boogie" in a school concert later that year and could actually say "Tommy taught me that bit". 😎
I knew an old man taught music in inner city 1 dollar 2 hours bring your kid and their instrument. He did not have the focus on guitar this man does but he had the same sort of gift. With almost any instrument.
On today's episode of things that never happened
@@c.jarmstrong3111 how are you going to say it never happen? sure he took time throughout his career to sit down and give spontaneous lessons every now and then
@Flux Incapacitator I'm more inclined to believe a nice thing happened over someone making up a bizarre and intricate lie for fake Internet points.
John Martinez That’s called an argument from incredulity. Simple because you cannot understand why someone would lie for clout, this holds no bearing on whether the original statement is true or false.
"You get the drift. I win."
Yay! I get the reference. Very nice. LOL
HA
You meen !
Jajaja
I came here because of that episode
My guitar just stared at me from across the room with a raised eyebrow, clipped its own strings, and walked back into the case...maybe we will talk tomorrow...I will give it some time.
You just made me spit out my whiskey... hysterical.
😅😂🤣
My guitar just laughed out loud
Same here. I'm going to miss that guitar
My guitar is chuckling on its stand in the corner lmao
My guitar watches this video when i'm out of the house.
😂😂
This isn’t talent. It goes beyond skill. This is craftsmanship. Thousands of hours of practice brought into a few moments of unadulterated perfection. Absolutely incredible and stunning. A privilege to view.
You're right he's not talented at all
Said exactly right
@jasmine_dakota go figure out how peoole ride on low beam after dark
Agree, check this video

And another video from Him
Dino Peredetout for me, it's practice+talent.
Me and my three power chords will see ourselves out.
LOL
LOLLL 😭
You win the Internet today
bro if you know one power chord you know them all lol
Hey look at what the Ramones did with those 3 power chords...
From my understanding, this version of Classical Gas took Tommy Emmanuel years to learn how to play. This is legendary talent we are watching. Please take the time to appreciate it.
I dont think years, maybe some month
I doubt he "learned" to play it. He probably started with a simple arrangement and kept expanding it and developed an expanded piece over time as he got bored with the way he could already play it like a machine. How would he learn to play something that he arranged? He just slowly expanded the arrangement most likely. Just helps that he is a monster player haha.
@@Hiergibtesnixzusehen months? Try a lifetime.
@@alexfreidah1075 because he was already working off of Mason Williams original rendition of the song. He just had to transcribe it from the original to a singular instrument.
I have been fortunate to see Tommy Emmanuel live in Ottawa Ont a few year from Hearing Tommy live on the Bob and Tom Show I said I have to see him, he blew me away and cannot say how amazing his Guitar playing is.
As Eric Clapton says Tommy Emmanuel is the best guitarist in the world, that's good enough for me...
Eric who ?
@@adp5R3x The wife stealer.
I think it's obvious why nobody asking for tabs.
No questions as "show me chords, please"
The song is learnable it's just that he has made very complex covers of it* lol. But he actually has made a tutorial of this particular cover of Classical Gas (he has made many covers of it over the years). I didn't buy it, but it's out there Haha.
I feel like the person who is capable of playing a song like this doesn't need tabs, they can just play it by ear.
@@AnAmericanComposer or a guitar teacher to teach them, as in my case. I only learnt a bit lol. But when I do get back into playing, this is one of many songs that I'm going learn haha. Funny you mention tabs, because Tommy Emmanuel doesn't read tabs or sheet music.
There isn't enough ink OR paper.
Legend says there's a new part every time you revisit the video.
Lol yeah just noticed that fact omg
that is so true
You're right! I watched this yesterday and it gained 20 additional seconds on the run time. How did that happen?
Agreed
I am in tears of laughter lmao
His face while playing is the face of a man who loves music.
Or a man who has gas.... classical gas
*Get out*
MrCrisTheRo the face of a man who feels the music
What would you call Joe Walsh's face while he plays? Grab your wallet and stick it in his mouth? :D
This is the kind of musical talent you sell your soul for down at the crossroads in Mississippi.
Criminally underrated comment
I have never seen a brilliant guitarist enjoy himself as much as Tommy does, and he is such a humble person!
I've met and worked with Tommy multiple times, and this is completely accurate.
My dad put on a few concerts with Tommy . He’s the real deal.. watching him play with James Morrison was amazing and he really is humble.
Well if you're going to play a song on guitar over and over and over for months/years you better know how to enjoy your self.
Imagining yourself playing this with a straight face😑
Don't forget Jimmy page
He is having fun with something he loves to do. Stop bashing him, I personally think it was amazing and had a nice twist to it, you people act like the song will never be the same. Get over yourselves.
Thank you. Well said.
While I agree that it was some amazing guitar work, and Tommy is talented, I think you are understating the significance of what he did when you called it a nice "twist". This isn't a "twist" at all, it's a completely different song. Sure it has some of the same notes, but the feeling of the song, the soul of it, is far removed from the original. I, personally, would of felt better if he renamed it and put an "inspired by Classical Gas" subtitle. I say this because i was searching for Classical Gas, clicked on this video because it looked interesting and polished, and get this jarring, completely unexpected piece. It was a lot like drinking what I though was soda, and it's lemonade. Lemonade isn't bad, just so unexpected it almost hurts.
aggreedd..!!!
Stephen Bridgland Wrong. Every great musician has used excerpts from other song references. Same with Mason Williams' Classical Gas. You may have heard of it.. :)
Music can make you cry, but nobody said it was for crybabies.
0:00 Sweet, maybe I can learn how to play this
0:01 WAT
same
xD
lol so true
ik
Lol thats just his interpretation. Thats not part of the actual song. You can still learn it :)
he covered roger smiths guitar piece with perfection!!
You get the drift, I win.
And he didn't need to sell his soul to the devil to do it (I assume).
@@fredbloggs8072 He loans the talent for the Faustian bargains, it has to come from somewhere.
The original sounds like music. This is too many notes. Hard to say if the original sold his soul. Any proof?
I’ve often wondered how it feels when people this talented first realize, “Ya know, I’m getting really good at playing guitar.”
That’s gotta be an awesome realization.
It doesn't work that way. As the talented musician improves, their standards go up. They are never fully satisfied with their playing. Only mediocrities are satisfied with their playing.
Yeah if you listen to him in interview he seems very humble, like he’ll never be good enough. He says he’s always still learning
@@chordogg Makes sense, & partially explains why he’s great. He has to keep progressing.👍🏻🇺🇸
@@briankeevan8134 why did you add an American flag? Not only would it not be relevant regardless, but the artist in question is Australian.
@@TG22222 Thumbs up from America, i guess?
Tommys opening 5sec just surpassed the last 20yrs of me playing
Bags McGee Right?
(Sigh)
What soulless beings could downvote such a masterpiece?
This is, without a doubt, the greatest acoustic guitarist the universe has ever had. Genius.
Marcin? Check him out.
@@jaybee9269Marcin just has a completely different style. Not really comparable
@@jaybee9269Marcin is nowhere near Mr. Tommy. I saw Tommy and Marcin live. Tommy Emmanuel live playing is so much about emotion than just music.
You might wanna look up Segovia and Paco ….
@@jimlucas3872and John Williams...👌👌
I can't believe I've never even heard of this absolute genius until today. Incredible player.
Now have a look at him with Richard Smith, Vinny Raniolo and Frank Vignola...
His brother, Phil, was a superb guitarist as well. Phil died way, way too young 😔
(Waving from the top of the rabbit hole) See ya!
I was literally this old when I discovered him...from an American Dad cut!!!
Check him live before it's too late. Great concert host with interacting with the crowd ...
The legend told, is that the DEVIL HIMSELF approached Tommy with a wager. The legend will never tell what Tommy got, but the Devil got guitar lessons
is this a reference to american dad?
What a twist!
Tommy got unbreakable fingers
HI MY NAME IS JAJAHOI!!! Not in particular. Punchline’s different to Roger’s deal.
HI MY NAME IS JAJAHOI!!! No it's a reference to the song "The devil came to Georgia"
Lots of american dad comments, but seriously did this blow the fucking mind out of anyone else's head?
Travis Beach sure did mine.
dude it's fucking phenomenal.
I been playing guitar for like 40 years... saw this video, and now I wonder why I wasted all that time...
Never a waste ;)
HarrrySpider you gotta make sure you shake your head the same as Tommy. Common mistake
He’s not just playing Guitar, he’s feeling it… *and it responds.*
He's not just playing with his hands; he plays with his all.
If anyone gets a chance to see this guy perform live, DO IT!!! Well worth the price of the ticket and exceptionally entertaining. Part comedy, part story-telling, part amazing, out of this world guitar playing. Really awesome show.
jernst7569 Oh good, just sunk $180 (for two!) yesterday for his New Zealand show. Cannot wait!
***** I just missed him Brisbane by a couple of weeks! Bummed to say the least!
+jernst7569 This. The guy isn't just an amazing guitarist, but a wonderful performer.
+Nocturane I got to see him in Melbourne, was amazed the whole time and got his CD

@@swahiliranger1022are you checking my grammar? This is right and you're wrong.
@@Ahmed-157 stfu noob
He guitar was, well play did he
Im yoda
A lot of people talk about how incredible a guitarist he is and he certainly is that, but the thing I’m most impressed with is his control. That man knows every square nanometer of that neck and that’s why he’s playing is so clean. I’m in awe of that guy’s control.
u speak as if ur first argument doesn't go along with the second argument dude
Midnight Austin The difference is execution. It’s one thing to have a great, unique sound and being able to play it well. Jimmi Hendrix had a unique sound and style, but his playing was incredibly sloppy. Tommy Emmanuel may not have a super unique sound, but his execution is flawless.
@Andrew Atwill Valid point Andrew! Many would think "after" 50 years of playing he is this good..as an aussie..i know for a fact when he was just 19/21 he sounded the exact same.....
This is a natural communication for him why should he control it.
i hear you havner. not just his control of the neck but his thumb keeping that bassline as he strums individual notes on the top 3 strings, it's just something that i know i couldn't do even after years of dedication. too late for me!
Hardwork meets Skills meets Love - Tommy Emmanuel! lovely !
I just demoted myself from a guitar player to a guitar owner after hearing this..

I need to expand my horizons. I have been listening and searching for great music for 55 years, and I just found this guy. This just goes to show you that when you think you have heard the best, you have not. What a talent!
Me too! And we have.
Me too, just a very slightly longer time frame, and with rap, most heavy metal and most country being exceptions, here are TONS of excellent musicians out there. I listen to primarily Jazz and classical now, but here is some stuff in various categories, genres, instruments, etc. that you might enjoy. I can give you a LOT more if you are interested, as I spend WAYYY too much time on YT now, and have a whole slew of artists in my playlist (it's public feel free to look if you like some of these). It includes many more categories and artists than these. These range from (criminally) couple of thousand views types, into the millions level. Virtually all of these artists do several types of music. Here, from solo to big band, and world touring to virtually unheard:
Synth, real time expansive improv covers, listen to a requested song, first hearing when they request it if he doesn't know it, on a stupid phone, and instantaneously makes some INCREDIBLE music out of it, five seconds or less later (the first is a ten level deep loop) created on the spot. I gave you two very different approaches, from the same video, the second is just a non looped piano invention of another request. This guy is an absolutely world class talent. His channel has gone from the 70 or so thousand to now half million and climbing RAPIDLY, and he actually deserves it, like Tommy.
Frank Tedesco: He wrote a few compilations, not really slottable into a single genre lots of influences, jazz, Spanish, classical, movie, game, etc. In the first I put you in where he's listening to the song, so you can see what he's working from, and what results. Just stop at the end of the song and then go to the next, unless you want to listen to the whole video :-):
ruclips.net/video/4zMLaix8Zto/видео.html

Here is an etude (pro level exercise pieces) he wrote. I love the incidental at thirty seven seconds...always 'Easter eggs' throughout:
ruclips.net/video/-vKVQt-DlPc/видео.html
Fifth Street: Fairly Odd Parents (they do all kinds of Jazz oriented covers)
Home Free: Most anything of theirs, this is fun, a sea shanty mix up, listen to the beat boxer on the one that starts "Heave her up and away we'll go ...". He is the best in the world, IMO at actually doing it VERY musically. He does an air drumming solo that is incredible, and he plays the drums along with it, accurately.
I've seen a couple of drummers comment that he must be a drummer. I don't think he is, but not sure:

Got To Get You Into My Life". Jazz knob turned up about 75%, this arrangement has some really great sections, as most all of theirs do. And the treble section is stellar. When the alto gets low, it's like being wrapped in a soft blanket, what a sound, and the soprano enters the stratosphere a couple of times. She can go a lot higher, I think, IIRC, but she's getting up there pretty good here:
ruclips.net/video/6yf3uv9XUDY/видео.html
Here's a couple of semi Big Band pieces. The first is Dave Wekl and Jay Oliver drumming with a host of instrumental and vocal session folks (I think). The energy in this thing starts at the ceiling and then rises like a homesick Martian:
ruclips.net/video/4RS5RsSPssw/видео.html
This is a Ukrainian/Russian group that does Chicago, better than Chicago, IMO. They didn't even speak English when this was done, and the diction is better than most of the English speaking soloists I've heard. They tour the world now. One of the band members recorded and mixed this. I would love to find a DVD A level flac of it. It sounds spectacular even on the YT garbage audio format. I think one reason i like this more than Chicago is the recording. After this, go play the Chicago recording, and you'll see what I mean. Night and day, the old recording is absolutely dull by comparison. Thirty years of tech doesn't hurt, but neither does a guy that keeps the post effects to nothing to next to nothing, and lets the music through. And uses some killer audio equipment.

Here is one you just have to see to believe. If this doesn't entertain you, I give up. It was a recommendation, and in the opening I thought "this'll be funny", shortly thereafter the thought was Dayam, this is awesome. Hang on for the ride:
The bridge about 2/3rds of the way through is just killer. This is just plain weird, and a lot of fun:

@@LoneWolf-McWeed Thanks.
No one has more fun playing the guitar than Tommy Emmanuel. And boy can he play. All the best guitarists in the world, happily bow down to him with a smile. No shame, no trepidation. Nobody would be foolish enough to pretend they were on his level. And he's such a nice guy about it. Never a hint of pridefulness. Just joy in the music.
Speechless. Mainly because it’s hard to talk when your jaw is lying on the ground.
Each time you say to someone that you're good at guitar just watch that video :D
So youre basically saying nobody is good guitarist except Tommy Emmanuel ;)
Just kidding......
your cool tommy emmanuel
Each time someone say you are good at guitar show him the video
Each time guitar say you are good at video show him the someone
Amazed at so many dislikes, gotta be lots of envious people out there. Man has a serious talent and clearly lives music and worked hard at it 👏
Yeah. 3,600 jealous people out there.
He’s a genius...end of discussion
Damn, I never noticed that. That's weird. I guess haters gonna hate.
Guitar envy...the old man’s version of penus envy...
I think folks gave it a dislike because they prefer the original. They could be jealous, they might think Tommy is showing off with someone else's instrumental. Who knows??? This bloke is the acoustic king!!!
I like how American Dad used this exact video's audio for Roger's guitar playing
Bradley Polancic yes ikr 😂
Bradley Polancic Me too. When I heard it I was like "Tommy is about to gain some fans!" in 2006 when I found tommy Emmanuel on RUclips it changed my life in music forever.
I agree
It's sounds exactly alike
It was used with Tommy's permission. Stated himself in another comment. :)
The way he bends his guitar to make that sound always blows my mind. So much talent.
And this might just be the easiest part!
The world is broken for sure... someone "disliked" THIS?
It was just the accordion in his closet
Can't imagine a 'serious' artist having that much fun at 'work.' What pleasure to watch and listen to.
The difference between a job and a career
I've met and worked with Tommy a few times. You'll never meet a more kind and laid-back musician.
And an incredibly humble and nice guy to boot. Just a joy to meet and talk to.
this guy might be the best acoustic guitar player this planet ever had.
I think David Gilmore could give him a run for his money.
@@cap6159 no chance
@@cap6159 - David Gilmour? He's great at what he does, but he's not in this league. Plus, you didn't even spell his name right. Chet Atkins and Django Reinhardt come to mind as great acoustic guitarists, but Tommy's hard to beat.
Easy there.
Don’t the point of ranking guitarists. It’s art, not the olympics.
It is now day 152. My 10 month old daughter has to watch this twice a day. I am not sure if its Tommy´s face or the music but if she doesnt get to see this, there will be tears.
Nurse her interest and do all you can to develop0 it! You are BLESSED!!
You’ve got a future guitar professional in the making, not even joking that I expect us all to know her name in a few years
@@bigblue207 I´ll buy her a guitar once she is bit older then have to see where it goes from there :)
Wow! Even the VERY young can recognize greatness when they hear it. It's a spirit to spirit kind of thing. Cultivate that excellent ear of hers!
Buy her a guitar dad! Someday she'll pick it up if not now haha
The thing that I continue to marvel at is how Tommy plays with such passionate fluidity. I get to a point where I think I'm playing pretty well, and then I hear him. Suddenly I sound like a mentally challenged feral cat clumsily trying to dance on top of a banjo.
this is what my guitar listens to when im not at home
If Tommy Emmanuel comes to your house, are you giving your guitar a hall pass?
I can play the G chord.
Kunal Shah nice
Kunal Shah
Show-off!! 😉
I can play the e minor chord 😀😀
I learnt the entire original song ,took 3whole weeks 😒
Caleb H C'mon man it's all about the Em7add11(the chord formed by all of the open strings).
I cannot begin to imagine the sort of souls that could give this man even one thumb down! Can you???
hell no unless they thought he was obsessed by the devil or something lol
"Empty souls" perhaps!
David Alonso they do exist!!! yes! :-)
t rays, they're probably deaf and dumb, ''definitely dumb''..
Pat Brennan Yes Pat! they exist too! sad to say! but, yes! and we're blessed with good ears! and good eyes! Ciao Pat
I came here because of Mason Williams. I keep coming back because of Tommy Emmanuel.
I watched Mason Williams version AFTER seeing Tommy's rendition. Mason's was brilliant in a different way, I like the orchestral instruments, but Tommy's version blows my socks off 😂
If anybody watching this ever gets the opportunity to see Tommy live in concert; do it. The most amazing musician to watch. He does the impossible with 6 strings. Sell a kidney if you have to, but don’t miss it. Your life will be richer for hearing this wonderful man.
Tickets booked for Manchester next year 👍
I saw him in new Zealand it was awesome!
The day I saw this video I discovered he was playing that night in my town. I went to see him and was blown away. He's a really nice guy too!
Saw him in the Sydney Opera House. Doesn't get more epic than that
Yeah I've seen him live . And I agree i was amazed at the sheer quantity of this guy i first saw him on a guitar teaching lesson on video and just had to get tickets when he showed up in England
I might not have been born with a talent like this, but being able to witness it in any form is a true gift.
That’s pure hard work brother.
Pure hard work PLUS pure talent
im doing the hard work dont dont worry
No one is born like this it takes a unbelievable amount of hard work
He was a professional guitarist at the age of 6 ( according to Wikipedia ) and has been playing ever since , that's like 30,0000 - 400000+ hours of guitar playing which made him who he is
The fact this is so aggressive yet so clean is impossible to me. How tf does he nail every single note and make the whole thing so fkn clear. Sounds like 3 guitars at once all playing their parts precisely at the correct volume
You should listen to him play Blue Moon, he plays the drum, bass, rhythm, and lead parts on a single guitar at the same time.
Thats the weird thing about Tommy. He always plays electric with this light delicate touch.
But the acoustic's... he bashes and whacks them like they pissed on his vegetables
Understand this guy has had decades of experience playing and mastering this instrument... it is essentially an extension of his body at this point. This is what is called mastering guitsr
Crunchu with out a doubt there ain’t a truer statement. Did you see how natural that acoustic neck/headstock vibrato was? Every movement from this man is fluid art. Even his seemingly random movement manner, all those body taps are perfect timed. I imagine his dance he’s got going on is because I’m his head he hears the flow like it’s an extension of his soul.
he has been playing guitar his entire life man, don't compare urself now to with his plying, just keep plying this song over and over and u can get close
Goosebumps at tha intro, flawless execution, fantastic technique, the whole thing carries over perfectly... you sir, are excellent. Bravo.
If it weren’t for American dad and me wanting to hear the whole song I would have never found this beautiful man 😭
Welcome to the real world but seriously.. What a ridiculous comment... Obviously you and lots of others live sheltered lives and only see and hear stuff only if Coca Cola, Pepsi, American dad (whatever the fuck that is) etc etc allow you... No offence but get out of your spoon fed bubble and broaden your horizons... Tommy's been around for eons....
Roger sure could rip
Aleko you're comment is just as retarded
@@alekoha3036 lol srsly super comment x)
"You discover things thx to people, so stupid"
@@alekoha3036 the amount of pretentiousness and lack of self awareness is staggering
My late mother played guitar and I loved when she practiced at night. She use to listen to a local guitar station and I loved it when they played this song. I get chills every time I hear this and I'm reminded of her. Acoustic guitar is just beautiful and it brings back memories of her playing. Love you Mom.
Dear TE, CGP: Thank you for sharing your gift. Thank you for acknowledging your mentor Chet Atkins. What a constant delight you are. Blessings. RIP Phil. Hope to see you in concert again. Always a joy. When you take the stage I need nothing more. Your fingers fly. Time flies. Best complete entertainer.
I'm not biased (not much) ;)
You continue to change lives for the better. 🎶
They didn't show it but guitar smoked a cigarette after this song)
😂
😂🤣
More like a pack
LMAO! 😂🤣
Well it deserved that smoke after being smoked...
Put on your headphones and buckle up people... don't listen through your phones tiny speakers... please. That is one beautifully well worn guitar I can hear why he has kept and played it for so many years.
I just removed the strings from my guitar, filled it with potting soil, and planted some basil.
funny and sad xDDD
lol
I did the same thing, I couldn't even keep the Basil alive!
Nice
👋😂
Lenny: Now do Classical Gas
IHaveTheHighGround THANK YOU
when I was younger I knew of this song through the simpsons but I can't remember which episode
Malek Jendoubi "Last Exit to Springfield" Season 4 Ep 7
DENTAL PLAN!
That was the first thing that came to mind when i saw this lol a voice in my head keeps saying "lisa needs braces" lol
You get the gist, he won.
tman008 American dad reference?
tman008 that is EXACTLY what brought me here. How did you even freakin know lol.
Haha love the American dad reference
tman008 Winning.
tman008 lol!! Perfect reference.
After stumbling upon this video and hearing it only once, I was able to play the entire piece.
Just hit the replay button and it plays it again. You can do this too.
😂
What gets me is how open and resonant a sound he can get and then instantly cut it all off and then bring it back faster than I can blink. It's always great to see someone at this level apply their art.
Tommy is one of the few guitarists whose playing just makes me laugh. He is just so far beyond talented that there isn't even a word for it, it's like this is the greatest joke ever made and I can't stop laughing at it.
It's not the talent that creates genius, it's freedom and hard work, very hard work and countless hours of dedicated playing!
@3:45.....laughed...out... Loud!
He is a great example of a unique and incredible talent combined with hard work. It's inspiring to see. Lots of talented people who are lazy, and just as many hard workers who lack innate talent. Tommy has both - he is one in a million.
@@canale_schlande Everybody works hard but not everybody can be a winner otherwise they wont be called winners.
That laugh at the end, even he was surprised that he played that good. The man is so down to earth, he wasn’t playing to impress he was having fun with it.
2:33 his thumb aint movin an inch .. this hand is magic xD
I've seen this a bunch of times but don't play guitar at all, I'm a drummer. Never noticed that! Thats super impressive honestly
The man's a force of nature ❤
Tommy's guitar went to rehab after this. Massive sound overload.
and it threw up xD
His enthusiasm is infectious, his talent is tremendous. What a beautiful composition.
Hi Tommy, everytime I see and hear you playing the guitar you make me so happy. A few years ago I saw you performing in Hoorn in the Netherlands, that was one of my finest experiences. I'm a guitarplayer myself for more than fifty years and still do recordings as a guitarist / arranger and producer, mostly on my electric self made guitar. I know I never can reach your fabulous technique but that makes no difference for me. I love the instrument the guitar from the age of 9 years old and really have deeply respect for you as a guitarist but surely as a very nice person talking with everybody who loves the guitar. Hope to enjoy many years of your guitar playing and that you can do that in good health. Regards, Bart van der Post.
STUDIOBASE you know he died, right !?
***** I must have confused him with someone else my bad.....
w.t.f did i just witness? this guy is from another dimension.
How could anyone dislike this?
They lost to Roger
@@Klosepin 😂
I don't see a single dislike
@@skepticalpsycho6071
RUclips: lol dislikes go bye
@@skepticalpsycho6071 no dislike because the guy had to pay Rodgers debt
this video is my paradox it makes me want to give up on learning but also motivates the heck out of me
never give up on learning
I have been playing guitar two weeks now, after I tried playing for 6 months over a decade ago and gave up... I don't want to give up this time, but I confess that my left index finger is swollen and tender, my fingertips now feel weird, and it feels like I am advancing very slowly. My respect to all great guitar players out there, just amazing. It really takes dedication.
Hang in. You have your own message to share. 🎼💐🎶🦋
Every guitar fights through the pain, because we aint pussyo’s. Play long enough, you wont feel any pain in your fingers trust me.
[Simply Guitar]
I tried to play like all my idols for years and years.
I stopped doing that and just focused on what I wanted to convey. Passion beats speed every day.
Think of music as a language, every note is a word. Or rather the feeling you get from saying that word. Now string all your words into sentences. Bend and slide and mute them as you would change the tone of your voice. ❤️❤️ Fun fact. If you slightly bend every note you can bypass the restrictions of the frets and be able to play a lot more freely in between the notes. Or use a slide.
I hope you stuck with it man!
Hope you're still playing. Even 5 months is not that long to have been playing, but even 5 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things. Music is a lifelong pursuit.
I have never been so flabbergasted in front of a guitar player, this is beyond everything I've ever seen, so powerfull, so impressive. I don't even know how I would start to learn such a masterpiece, bravo
Seriously, Mr., How can you play like that without bleeding yourself out?
By having calluses for fingers as opposed to simply having calluses on his fingers.
Probably the best fingerstyle guitar piece/performance ever
NR Awesome check out Nayuta by Kotaro Oshio.
How about best anystyle guitar piece performance ever?
