I couldnt play one of the opening chords in Those who wait correctly despite hours practicing, so when I met him I asked him about it and he told me I had to "get to work" and if I did one day I would be able to play it exactly correct. After about a month of trying to get this chord right I was about to give up and then remembered another thing he said, he said "dont give up", so I kept at it. A few nights later it rang out perfectly to my amazement and now it seems easy but the effort it took to get there is a reminder of the level this guy plays at and the hours he has put into it. Every one of his songs has nuther level things in it. The guy is a living legend on and off the stage.
As a kid I remember the great Roy Clark playing on Hee Haw, he didn't just "play" the guitar but he was a performer who entertained with his physical comedic expressions. Tommy reminds me of that legendary style of entertaining.
I saw Tommy in St Louis, at the Sheldon, earlier this year. Bought his CD on site. I've listen to the CD so much the laser burned the disk out. I bought a new one.
Watched this guy for two hours live last night…. He keeps this energy for 2hrs straight. It’s absolutely f***ing mental. Most insane guitarist I’ve seen with my own two eyes.
I play guitar and I get in to my music when I play but I swear this guy has probably spent more time out of his body while playing than most people do. It's a gift from a higher power!
Tommy Emanuel, it is not enough that you are such an amazing talented , fabulous guitar player but you also had to be such a cheerful and happy human being that just listening to you play becomes a lovely , lively and happy amazing experience ! Thank you so much !!!! Bravissimo!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
You have connected your soul, heart and body and magic comes out of your hands. We are lucky to have you and besides, you are an excellent person, what more could we want, THANK YOU
Eric Clapton said that SRV had stuff flowing through him without thinking. Tommy is the same way. He states he is an Australian but that’s just where he landed from a planet unknown to us Earthlings! 🎉❤
@@tenzing2090 I'm guessing the person meant empathetic? As in he's always helping others out, giving lessons, speaking to his fans, signing autographs etc...Just a super humble guy. That's my guess lol.
Met him this last spring at the Rochester Jazz Fest and the most humble, generous and just plain honorable guy you could ever meet! And his playing is magic and clean sorcery at the same time!
And he just loves the young players, the next generation. All over RUclips you can find clips of him playing with so many young performers. And he always plays to their level. But in a way you don't notice.
Thank you for sharing this with us, he did his best as always, great performance. I'm sure you had an amazing time there, yes he is wonderful as a person as well :)
Even if you eat your vegemite and your crusts... you'll... you'll... well, you'll maybe get healthier but rarely ever play as good as this Aussie legend. Thanks for the vid. and well done Tommy!
That was an over the top performance ...the man can play and is a CGP in the Chet Atkins -Leo Kottke -JP Cormier league of great players....great work Tommy Emmanuel !
Great guitar playing from Tommy as always. I’ve been fortunate enough to see him live 4 times. You really feel entertained at a T. E. show, he’s so much more than a musician! If you ever get the chance, I implore you to see him. You will cherish the memory for the rest of your days! But Tommy, those jeans!!! Looks like you borrowed them from your teenage grandson!!! 😳😳🤦
I met Tommy and Phil when they were a Pub Band touring in Australia. Lucky Australia? Na. God Bless Queen Bess 2. She owns The Fastest Boats upon The Seven Seas.
I've had the good fortune to attend two meet and greet concerts of Tommy. He is the most grounded, humble, funniest and nicest artist I can think of. He draws a unique crowd, as well. Both concerts, Tommy did "Initiation," a rather lengthy number. You could have heard a pin drop while he was creating his musical story. When he finished, there was a moment's pause, while everybody had a reality check, and then the theaters exploded with applause, cheers, whistles and the like. It is nice to see he has the same affect even on the high seas. Everyone just stops what they are doing, listens, then the thunderous ovation. Tommy is a great entertainer and a musical genius. CGP, indeed!
Tommy was recently asked "can you play as well as you did when you were younger?" To which Tommy replied - "No, I can't play as fast as before" ))))))))) The modesty of this man is amazing...
He may just be the most talented human being ever to walk the Earth.
He’s not just playing a guitar he’s making magic.
Just guitar playing, no more.
He said in an interview that he practices a piece until it becomes music. Not just technique
He makes 'soundfun'
I can’t name a better guitar player than Tommy Emanuel.
One of the treasures of my life is having been alive at the same time as Tom Emmanuel, to have experienced this man and his talent.
Will see him live again in Gothenburg Sweden. 😀👍
Ele nos reporta a reflexão de que apesar de tudo , há um fio de esperança, de que vale a pena a existência, de ser humano❤
Never thought about it this way. Well said.
touche'
Plays with so much joy and energy.
😅

Unfortunately people as him are coming rarely ibto thia fuckn human civilisation ....
God has blessed Tommy truly! What a force of nature!
A true force of nature…the one man band!
WOW!......just WOW! I can't believe I never heard of Tommy Emmanuel.
Tommy Emanuel- your talent is like an oceanliner cruising up the Potomac.
🤣
A garbage scow.
You mean running aground?
I saw Tommy in St Louis, at the Sheldon, earlier this year. Bought his CD on site. I've listen to the CD so much the laser burned the disk out. I bought a new one.
As a guitar player, if I had to compare myself to this guy whenever I played, I’d never pick one up again. Simply extraordinary !
After listening to him, my guitar flew out the window...
Watched this guy for two hours live last night…. He keeps this energy for 2hrs straight. It’s absolutely f***ing mental. Most insane guitarist I’ve seen with my own two eyes.
I saw him live in Portland a few years ago to sold out crowd of 3500, it was incredible, he can do more with a guitar than almost anyone.
I saw him for the first time when he came to Tucson. OMG!! It was the best guitar 🎸 performance I had witnessed, by far ❤
That guy is from another guitar planet. Playing absolutely unplayable stuff. He is unique. The best ever. Thx Tommy.
"This is guitar boogie in the key of E " then plays every note on fretboard 😮
Yep, guitar planet Australia. Cheers from Sydney.
I play guitar and I get in to my music when I play but I swear this guy has probably spent more time out of his body while playing than most people do. It's a gift from a higher power!

Tommy makes me happy
You have connected your soul, heart and body and magic comes out of your hands. We are lucky to have you and besides, you are an excellent person, what more could we want, THANK YOU
Why isn't this guy more internationally famous? I've never heard a guitar player like this- charisma, stage presence, and unbelieveable talent
A cruise holiday, and Tommy Emmanuel. Wow, what's not to like?
Tommy Emmanuel is amazing!
Tommy guitarrist guitarrist´s,a true musical miracle given to us in this troubled times.
Tommy needs to be in the GOAT guitar player conversation.
He is in a zone of his own!! Amazing
Simply the 🐐!

FANTASTIC TALENT! GOD BLESS TOMMY EMMANUEL!! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! THANK YOU!
Tommy is indeed unique. I have yet to come across another guitarist who is so innovative. Thank you Tommy for your inspiration.
Tommy is looking more youthful these days.
That was a fantastic medley and I know why he looks so young.
What a workout.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now... 🙂
WOWZER! I was on that cruise and saw this!! Happy someone recorded it.
Eric Clapton said that SRV had stuff flowing through him without thinking. Tommy is the same way. He states he is an Australian but that’s just where he landed from a planet unknown to us Earthlings! 🎉❤
This man is amazing... I have experienced many of his live performances. It is incredible how he changes his cadence to meet each venue.
Whoever recorded this, THANK YOU for the great quality!
I'll 2nd that.
I hope he lives to be 100. I love Tommy.
Искреннее Человеческое и Профессиональное восхищение !!!
Amazing , God given talent and beautiful music, innovative use of guitar like I never could imagine! Constantly blown away
Why is the greatest musician of our time entertaining the audience on a cruise ship!??? He deserves the best!!!
paid vacation for him
I think it was the Joe Bonamassa Blues Cruise. A lot of top acts.
Hi. Tommy would play anywhere. He loves what he does. Saw him in Bale Switzerland. Great performer. Take care
@@antonywebster6614 He is everywhere. Must do over a hundred dates a year.
There is no-one like Tommy - a whole band in one acoustic guitar, and so entertaining and sympathetic.
Check out Naudo on RUclips.
ruclips.net/video/RWaw8-bJXZA/видео.html
Look up Mike Dawes
Sympathetic? How?
@@tenzing2090 I'm guessing the person meant empathetic? As in he's always helping others out, giving lessons, speaking to his fans, signing autographs etc...Just a super humble guy. That's my guess lol.
The world greatest guitar magician. Thanks a lot from Germany
One man and one guitar! If I hadn't been there, I would have thought, there was another bloke with a guitar hidden somwhere😉
Солнышко....пришел,увидел и ВСЕХ обогрел ❤️🌹❤️ 💋💋💋
Great cruise 🚢
I was watching from the side above 👆🏻. Great video
Tommy is a true gent on and off stage !!
Yes He is. I talked with him a couple times off stage. Very nice guy. super talented.
This man is an unlimited source of inspiration for me on the acoustic!🙌😮💨
Met him this last spring at the Rochester Jazz Fest and the most humble, generous and just plain honorable guy you could ever meet! And his playing is magic and clean sorcery at the same time!
And he just loves the young players, the next generation. All over RUclips you can find clips of him playing with so many young performers. And he always plays to their level. But in a way you don't notice.
Even the Beatles would freak out and be WRAPPED in this version.:-) :-) :-)
Love the blue jeans and brown shoes 😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing this with us, he did his best as always, great performance.
I'm sure you had an amazing time there, yes he is wonderful as a person as well :)

Wonderful, amazing, beautiful!
Tommy is one of the greatest guitar players on earth, say I, as a former player.
I met Tommy and Phil when they were a Pub Band touring in Australia.
Lucky Australia?
Na.
God Bless Queen Bess 2.
She owns The Fastest Boats upon
The Seven Seas.
Holy crap this guy is good....
Respekt ! Brutal, du schläft mit deine Gitarre :)
Tommy is the grand master of the "git fiddle". Hearing him play is a royal treat for anyone treasuring instrumental string mastery.
The guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel.... Bravo!!!!
Classical gas gave me shivers!!!
Love Tommy’s Beatles medley. Cool that he’s added a few more tunes to it
Amazing 👌
Just superb as always Tommy emanuel 👌👌👌
