  • In 2011, Tommy Emmanuel asked Reddit to suggest songs for him to arrange on guitar. The response was huge and very friendly! So here is the third arrangement - "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix, played on a custom Larrivee guitar which was given to Tommy as a gift by Jean Larrivee himself. These were made for fun, as a gesture of appreciation to all music lovers out there!

      @@smoothinvestigator for 5 of those years, they've been pretty consistant. For the past year I dedicate about 1 to 3 hours playing 2 pentatonic scales and c major scale, and songs or parts of songs I know. I "can" play a few songs, but they sound like shit and my picking falls apart at some points, so I can consider it actually being able to play a song. Surprisingly, Barr cords arent an issue for me but a get a knot in the palm area between my thumb and index. I'm kind of at a lose. I dont have a learning disability or anything of the sort, I was able to learn woodwind instruments just fine. Unrelated but I figured with a sorta high IQ I wouldve been able to figure it out, but man is it confidence destroyer whenever I pick my guitars up. Thankfully I'm stubborn but I've kinda of just expected to never be able to play, while still hoping something changes with practice.

      Stevie used to say he played like he was breaaking out of jail- he tried to play as if every note was going to be the last thing he ever played.

    Don't look at this and think: " I'll never be as good as him". Look at this and think: "I will practice to one day be just as good as him". Just believe in your ability to play the guitar and believe in yourself. Put in the the work and the practice and it just might happen. Practice is key. And don't forget to have fun cause that's what'll make learning easier in my opinion.
    I used to watch videos like this and leave them feeling discouraged. Now I look at them with a new mindset that inspires me to just keep at it with guitar. It has helped bringing up my motivation to learn the instrument.
    Sorry if some parts were hard to read, english isn't my native language.
    Edit: I don't mean that everyone will be able to achieve guitar mastery, but don't let this vid discourage you, let it be the reason you practice more.

    It’s not about comparing Tommy with Jimi. Jimi was brilliant on the electric guitar and played PH with a full band. Tommy put together a solo arrangement as a request - and does a brilliant job capturing the main riffs and themes of the song. It’s really a shame Jimi’s life was cut short. You have to wonder where he would be musically now in his twilight years. I would like to think he and Tommy might have hooked up along the way as geniuses often do.

Out front there stood a man who I recond was the greatest guitar player I'd ever heard, I also recond he ought to be famous.. I didn't know his name i just knew how incredible that guitar was that day when I first heard him play. He was just plain folk, just like us, only "HE ought to be famous!" I told my dad. Who tried to explain, yes son, That's Chet Atkins. I think back... how funny my comment was. "Whatever his name is Dad! He oughta be famous! Did you head that man play? I recon he's about the best guitar player I'll ever
      hear!" I was just a kid but I knew what I heard....
      I still do. Tommy, Chet would be so pleased to see how far you've taken his finger style. You're really amazing and so is the inspiration you and Chet and many others have spread around the world now. ...and Tommy, have no doubt, you still amaze me as much Chet did that day when Ifirst heard him play .

    When i lived in Nashville, I was a pretty big metal head. never really had an acoustic guitar. The man I lived with/worked with had an acoustic signed by Tommy. He's a good ole' bub, likes having his drink after a week of hard work and just enjoying the nice things in life, plays himself a little guitar from time to time when he gets the chance. I asked him who Tommy Emmanuel was, and his response was, "Ah, hell. You ain't never heard of ole' Tommy?"
    He showed me a video of this man playing guitar, and I literally changed genres and everything. Now, I just own a Taylor, and anytime I listen to metal music, it's nostalgic and comical. Mr. Emmanuel, you're a one-of-a-kind legend. Your music has inspired my way of looking at a guitar more so than almost any other musician.

    You know why guys like Tommy are at the top of any player's list? I mean people who play and know what they're doing? He's tops because we know that the best players play naked and can outdo ANY guy with an effects rack and electric ax. If you play without a Marshall and a bunch of effects and can still impress, such as we have here THAT! my friend is the essence of the best of the best. It's easy to sound good by powering up and turning on the distort and sustain, but try to sound and PLAY good on acoustic. THAT'S! where the money is, baby. Tommy, you are the best.

      Well, as much as I agree with you, I have to say, some guitarists can use effects, but still retain their amazing playing abilities. People such as David Gilmour use effects like delay and distortion to just flavor their sound. But again, I agree, other guitarists (I'm not gonna point any fingers to any body in particular, but I'm talking about the Edge) use effects way too damn much and ruin the idea of the guitar as a whole. I don't wanna start an argument, but just sharing my opinion. Cheers!
