I've probably watched all of Tommy's RUclips videos -- multiple times -- hundreds of hours. But I can still sit here and watch two hours of a video I've already seen and I just get sucked right back in -- almost like I'm seeing him for the first time. Tommy, as a long time fan, you never cease to amaze me.
Ive watched this show many times. In that time i have learnt some of Tommys songs but unlike every other thing ive seen, heard or liked i normally got bored of it. This is endless. In every way. hes the best. A true inspiration for someone who needs good honest music in there life. This man is an necessity.....
147sinenobe yes I watched this to learn his tricks haha. ANYONE KNOW WHAT SONG HES PLAYING AT 5:20? I'm trying to learn it but its goin be hard witout tabs
I had not ever been introduced to any of his work, and, in fact, I had never heard of TOMMY EMMANUEL before today. A friend of mine shared Tommy playing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in a post on FB, and I almost passed it up, it is not one of my favorite songs, and I thought I had heard it done about every way it could be, so I was gonna pass it up. I have spent the last 3 hours watching, listening, BEING AMAZED by, arguably, one of the best Guitar players of all time! I am blown away by the playing prowess and the outright mastery of the instrument that this man shows and shares with the audience, and when there's no actual audience, he is still a serious bad-ass for the camera, but mostly he IS the music that he plays! It flows out of every bit of him, it seems, and not only is this a rare thing, I think we could ALL agree that it is a wonderous thing, as well! Thank you Tommy, you have changed the way that I am gonna look at music, just a little bit, but forever!!!
+Jeffery A. Hunt I just discovered him today in the same way, but a different song posting on FB. He IS Amazing! How on earth I hadn't heard of him before ?!
+FrenchSquareDancer I can relate to both you guys, I'm 16 and the music I hear today are arguably bad. I was listening to some Chet Atkins the other day and came across him and tommy playing waltzing Matilda on the album "the day fingerpickers took over the world" and then I got so damn amazed by this guys skill as well as him wonderful melodic tunes too. Tommy is easily one of the most underrated musicians in the world..
Saw him last week in Heidelberg, Germany. Came to the meet and greet where he chatted and signed autographs. He signed the guitar I'd built. Just a super nice nice man. When he comes through Vegas, (and I'm sure he will), you won't regret going. I wish I'd taken my 9-year-olds (who play).

I sorta, lucky for me, discovered this shining piece of humanity thru, and by providence, I'm glad to say... Of the multitude of vids I've witnessed of this gentleman, and of course, his equally brilliant guitar virtioso bro. Phil, I have not seen a 'show-stopping' string break!! Such a brilliant, brillant, brilliance this Tommy possess. His facial expressions just talk..... makes one see the music...his body actions take you with him....and such a humbleness that is so rarely seen...and humourous and homey with such an exquisite gift, talent, blessing! A true master...no...god of his craft! Love him!
Dear Tommy and Family, thank you so much for the great entertainment!!!! Totally awesome!!!! Please may I ask - if you have a moment, how one gets permission to do a cover of another musician's song...? I'm stumped here, and I don't have an 'agent'... if you've got a mo... :-}}}}
My Baby Just Cares For Me! It appears to be a difficult one to do all by one's lonesome, but I am going to look for it after this... Yup! Thought came when Blue Moon started playing... :-}
pow o cara e bom e fora do normal os musicos do Brasil tem ki assistir isso pra ver se param de tocar calipso ou essas musicas sertanejas ki por sinal e um 💩
I'm a baby boomer, grew up in the 60's. To me there are a handful of guitarist who I consider The DA BOMB. Chet Atkins, Jimi Hendricks, Eddie Van Halen, Steven Vie, Joe Satriani and Tommy Emamuel. What sets them apart from other guitarist is their inovation. People will argue I'm leaving off many gifted musicians. the way i look at it, they are the best, top shelf and Ichi Bon and those guys earned it and deserve to be given such consideration.
Dear Tommy, just tinking... If you ever like any of my 'songs', you're more than got permission from me to do any of 'em!!! I'd be honoured out of my socks!!!!
+Nik Bates Actually Esteban Dunn is incorrect, sadly. He does play THAT song next, around 15:10 The song that Tommy is actually playing from 14:45 to almost the 15:05 mark is the Ancient Chinese Torture Song known as "Tu Ning". You may not have recognized it because it is played differently each time it is played, by each player who plays it, and on each instrument it is played upon. It has been a controversial song since the one who wrote it, the first musician to play the first tunable instrument, played the song for the very first time. Known to start riots, break up bands, and separate musicians from their parents' garages, there are few who dare so boldly to play it live, on stage, and in front of an audience. Tribute to the power this man holds over an audience, and I'd bet he could play the "long version" and get no adverse reaction from his audience, as well. Canadian Progressive-rock gurus "RUSH" included it on their album "2112" as a prelude into the song "Discovery/Presentation" on the half-album long, theme-saga title track, "2112", and that may very well be the most widely known and socially accepted version of "Tu Ning" in recording history. Tommy puts his own spin on it here, throwing in a decidedly Oriental oriented flair at the end, and the favorable reaction from the crowd shows that his fans are steadfast and die-hard "Tony Enamel" fans. Well done Mr. Emmanuel, well done!! I hope this helps, Nick Bates, and if not, mheh. At least while you were reading you were smilin', and if not, mheh! I was!!
My goodness, would ya just LISTEN to what this guy is doing? Are you pickin' up what he's throwin' down? If not, I bet you are one of the "8" up top goin' south, huh? WOW!!!!

no matter how many times I watch him he still blows me away....
The most wonderful part of his strumming is he NEVER misses a note. I could listen all night.

Its Borsalino. Theres a lesson on it on RUclips.
147sinenobe THANKS MAN. Theres actually a tutorial by tommy himself
Shoobie Dubdub Tricks? No. It's called musicianship.
147sinenobe Sheldon Hall is his best live performance. his energy and relaxed playing is just mind blowing

I am hoping that he will come thru 'Vegas sometime soon, but last time I checked, he was bouncing all around us before going to Europe.
Welcome my friend! Have a look at his version of Mona Lisa, too.

Tommy says in this video that he started playing guitar in 1959. He was born in 1955. That would have made him 4 years old.
He and music are one...an absolute master of his craft. Truly inspiring.

спасибо - thank you ;)
i know there's no "best guitar player", but i think Tommy makes a good candidate for that title.
best acoustic guitar player
Нет слов, классно, от некоторых вещей испытал колоссальное удовольствие, спасибо!!!
Да обалденно играет!!!! Этож сколько лет надо играть чтобы достич такого уровня.
I think these St Louis concerts are some of the best , he seems at a point where he is very happy and relaxed with what he has achieved .
I sat down with my electric to start my daily practice, as im listening to this
no practice today :(
hes just so good
You know this guy inspired me so much so long and probably the reason I keep on playing guitar since.
I sorta, lucky for me, discovered this shining piece of humanity thru, and by providence, I'm glad to say...
