    So many people will comment “amazing, what a brilliant natural talent you have”
    No, he’s practiced and practiced for thousands and thousands of hours, that’s made him amazing and able to express himself so well on his instrument and turned him into the master of musicianship that is Tommy Emmanuel

    • @BurstBelievers
      @BurstBelievers  9 месяцев назад +1

      very true - he is always picking the guitar up and working on ideas - you just cann't stop him

      Very true. However, practicing alone will not get you to this level of talent. But I get your sentiment. Sort of.

    Great job Tommy.
    Jerry Reed mentored countless guitar players who've gone on to carve out great careers, including the unbelievable Tommy Emmanuel. Jerry Reed was an amazingly innovative musician and perhaps the most under-rated guitarist of the last 60 years. He was equally at home singing his songs, acting in motion pictures like Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields and burnin' up the neck of his signature Baldwin nylon string acoustic alongside his pals Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Elvis, Bobby Bare, Porter Wagoner, Joan Baez, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson and many others. His Eastbound and Down, co-written with Dick Fuller, is a country classic. Jerry's Breakdown is required study for any aspiring Travis picker and Reed's "Claw" technique has been copied by most of the great fingerstylists.
    Had Jerry been a bit more protective of his original compositions, he might have had a few more hit records. But he was content to give a lot of his compositions away to buddies like Chet Atkins, who promptly learned and recorded them. Why would he do that? Because he'd already decided to move on to something new. He was a free spirit and a charismatic original. He lived his life with gusto and, to use a football analogy, left it all out on the field. And he was a picker's picker! And clearly he was a very kind and generous man, a quality that's all-too-lacking in the cutthroat world of show business.
    Sadly, Jerry passed on August 31, 2008. Three months later author Matt Blackett wrote a wonderful piece for guitarplayer.com, dated November 30th, 2008, which in addition to Blankett's characterization of Jerry, included tributes written about Jerry by other great guitarists. The following passage, written by Tommy Emmanuel about his mentor, is highly representative of Jerry Reed's genius as a guitarist.
    Tommy: "Jerry Reed, in my opinion, is as innovative as anybody in history. When he came along there was nobody like him, and his legacy is the single greatest body of work for fingerstyle guitar players. Nobody comes close to that. Jerry had it all: great melodies, great ideas, and a great innovation in his playing. He always had the right amount of blues and jazz-it was never too much of anything. It was a good balance and his groove was just as infectious as his musical ideas.
    I learned so much about songwriting and song construction from him. He also gave me license to be fearless-to jump in, boots and all, and try new ideas. I remember when I learned the song, “Today Is Mine.” I was 17 years old, and that song touched me. It still does and I still sing it on stage.
    I would say his biggest contribution to the guitar vocabulary was the irresistible melodies that inspire you so much that you won’t eat or sleep until you learn them. I think the song “Struttin’” is a true stroke of genius.
    I remember when I played for Jerry the first time. He was chewing tobacco and he smiled after I finished playing and said, “Son, you didn’t learn that. It was in your ethos. You were born with it.”
    Jerry’s message through his music and his words is a loving and sincere message. I found him to be a highly emotional and sensitive person who was a born entertainer. He walked on the stage and changed the whole room. He was full of charisma. He had a great love for mankind that you could see in his eyes. He was a sensitive and sweet guy. Some people think he was just an actor in movies, and some people think he was an okay guitar player and singer. Jerry Reed was deeper than most people imagined. I remember a conversation I had with Chet about Jerry, and Chet said, “Only once in a lifetime does someone come down the river so special.”
    That last sentence pretty much says it all, don't you think?

    Any 2 second run or lick that he plays would take most of us 2 weeks to master....what we dont see is the practise and thousands of hours Tommy has put in over the years....the guy is incredible.

      Because he has exceptional musical qualities and talents. you cant really learn to play like him only live in his shoes i guess.
      The world is full of great guitarist but tommy seems to up the game as if the guitar will become the next piano in years to come

    • @espalhaarte6875
      @espalhaarte6875 3 года назад +6

      I highly agree, people often say they can´t achieve this or any level of musicianship because they don´t have the talent to do so and it´s the kind of argument that i really hate because its not true at all. I do believe that there are people that can learn faster, but this level of musicianship is built on intense work and dedication, it may sound like magic but it doesnt mean that is build on that eheheh So the beauty of things it´s that no one can sound exactly like Tommy, Chet and the list goes on ... But one can work hard, practise and achieve better knowledge of expression on any instrument, its progress that never ends and its certainly a journey. In the end you will sound like yourself. But its all about having fun on a neverending journey.

      I don't look at him as a raw ntalent hes been playing for 50 years and didn't have to work a regular job like I do I get maybe couple hours a night and all weekend but talent to me is a guy like Robert Johnson basically he usedc to make noise on the guitar when local blues men came through son house said after he hadn't seen him in about 4 months when he came back could play nything he copped a lot of stuff from patten, lonnnie Johnson , son house, scrapper, blind boy ect but he took what they did to another level never mind ingenious alternate tuning individualized for a particular song to et the most out of the instrument now that to me is raw talent this guy is good yes but I would be too after 50 years and no day job

    I have been in awe of how beautifully Tommy plays this wonderful piece since this was posted in 2012. I watch it every now and then and it gets me every time, I cannot get my eyes off the screen. Every note counts and chimes beautifully. I tried playing it even slower, yet it was way too hard for me to play.

    I love playing this tune. Its a a drop D tune but but no-way is it typical. Just like Tommy said. I learned it first by listening and a lot of struggling. Didn't get too far. Then Buster B. Jones DVDs came along. He definitely shows you the ropes. Then....you watch Jerry pick it right here on You Tube. Sohnn!!! Hey you pickers' out there... Lets keep this style alive and kickin'!!!! We owe it to Jerry, Chet, Tommy....they still give us a bunch of reason to!

    There are a lot of good players of this style around but you can see why Tommy is the man. Not many can quite match the authority that he plays with, it just sounds right. Something I don't understand is no matter how good something is on RUclips, people still dislike it. Even if it's not you're thing surely you'd recognise talent?

    • @heavymental1456
      @heavymental1456 8 лет назад +1

      Tommy is a true gentleman and fantastic guitarist, but be real about who the real "genius" was Jerry Reed who came up with songs like this. Tommy doesn't compose much originally, but does a wonderful job of playing others' songs. Jerry Reed spent much less time perfecting his phenomenal licks than many guitarists: he spent a lot of time making movies, t.v. shows, and fishing. He was the truly exceptional one.

    • @liammcevoy3212
      @liammcevoy3212 8 лет назад +5

      +HeavyMental You would be surprised as to how much Tommy actually composes his own material!

    • @joseph175
      @joseph175 7 лет назад +8

      "Tommy doesn't compose much originally"..oh dear you're displaying considerable ignorance there. Go and look at his discography. In my opinion one of the greatest instrumental albums of all time: "Only", for example, is totally self composed by Tommy. Songs on other albums like "Lewis and Clark""The Duke"are all time classice too.
      His virtuosity (he's a million times better guitar player than Jerry ever was, he's possibly the best all rounder that's ever lived), his showmanship and his keenness to honour greats of the past might hide his own compositional talents but they're there that's for sure.

    • @tylerepperson6996

    I used to think Tommy was just a show off. . .
    This has totally changed my perception of his awesome talent !!
    Thanks for the upload !!

      I hear comments about Tommy being a showoff. That is so far from the truth. Glad you saw this one. I've met him many times and seen him perform and jam with others. He is an incredibly kind and sharing person. He gives of his talents and time to everyone. His accompaniment skills are excellent. He knows when to let others shine.

      @@guitar1950 ...Tommy can blitz anyone on the planet with speed and precision but thats only one side of him and his personality as a great drummer as well...Ive heard people say that he is all show and speed until they hear him play mona lisa with all the subtlety and precision of a medical surgeon...we are blessed to live at the same time as TE perhaps the best player on the planet and who plied his trade for 40 yrs touring not bad going...

    The only god involved in guitar playing like this is, Tommy Emmanuel himself.
    There is no such thing as a "god given gift".
    If there was, the instant Tommy picked up a guitar for the first time as a child, he would have played just like he does here.
    He practices every single day and he understands to the nth degree, every aspect of the guitar and its fretboard.
    There is nothing about his guitar that he doesn't know. It is an extension not only of his body but his mind as well.
    Within his hearing he has perfect pitch and knows precisely how much he must tweak a string during the performance of a tune, and until he does tweak that string, he will bend the notes on that string keeping it all in tune unil during the song he has moved the tuning machine head just enough to make its tuning right.
    The man is a supreme perfectionist and that's what he been practicing on the guitar, all his life.
    It doesn't end there though.
    He has a seemingly unbounded love and joy in playing the guitar, and THAT'S what makes him so great.

      Thanks, it's nice of you to say.
      It came from the heart.
      I think it is important to give true credit to the man, although knowing how religious he is, he would probably agree with the god thing.
