Tommy is the only man who can make me cry two times within 15 minutes, just by playing his guitar. The Duke and One Christmas Night, two new true masterpieces.
I think tommys brilliant stage act and jaw dropping guitar playing can sometimes overshadow his beautiful compositions which surely stand up there with the greats in terms of melody, feeling and their significant simplicity. A great song makes you think 'why did'nt I write that?' The 'Duke' is sheer brilliance. Nice one Tommy, thanks for making me pick up a guitar- again, and again, and again......................
NOT BAD TOMMY: I GIVE YOU 8+ ON THE SCALE OF 0 TO 10 FOR THIS EXECUTION. CHET IS THE KING. TOMMY LISTEN TO ELVIS N MARTINA CHRISTMAS DUO. ABSOLUTELY N BEATIFULLY ELEGANT. THATS REAL C-MAX SONG.
I've played guitar for over 50 years. I could never be arrogant about my guitar playing with guys like Tommy around. Actually I've seen 10 year old children on RUclips that could play circles around me! Humbling!!!
2 non mi piace? Non ho parole... Non dovrebbero esserci assolutamente... Stupendi... Fuoriclasse Tommy... Grazie per regalarmi nuove emozioni ogni volta... Ogni chitarrista ti dovrebbe stimare... Ma qualsiasi persona in generale... Raramente mi commuovo.... Sei mitico Tommy
Tommy! Tommy! The more I hear from you the more I want. Masterpieces again. What a marvelous multi-talented musician, composer and wonderful person who so unselfishly shares and encourages others. I wish I could see and hear Tommy in person just once. Thanks for posting.
Ever since I first saw Tommy play at Winfield '08, I remain simply astonished at his abilities. As a fellow guitarist, I strive to get better, each day, and Tommy certainly provides MORE than ample inspiration. In the words of his native Australia, good onya, mate!
A most BRILLIANT Melody... This song I think will go down as TEs best like Angelina. Saw him do this in LA past couple weeks.. His LIVE performances are SUPERB.... Please go see him LIVE.. Worth every penny !!!
I think that's the first time I have heard Tommy playing with tremolo, I always wondered if he could do it, then again I am pretty sure Tommy could play anything he wanted.
Ahhhhhh.... Now that it is morning on the east coast US I realize where and when I first heard Tommy play "The Duke"..... it was at TommyFest in Elizabethtown KY back in Feb of this year -2011- He loves western movies and was watching a John Wayne movie when inspired to finish writing a song which he started a while ago. He wanted to show his admiration for the Daddy figures who have instired him over his lifetime - thus, "The Duke" named after John Wayne as mattstraszewski correctly points out
Tommy and John Knowles have a new Christmas CD which should be available very soon ! The songs are refreshing and the guitars sound amazing ! Tommy used his new David Taylor guitar for the recordings.
You're right, the pattern is thumb - middle - index, with the thumb ascending up the bass notes of the chord and the middle and index hitting the high string in quick succession. As far as I can tell, anyway.
The closest I can come to identifying the writer of "Kentucky" is the Louvin Brothers which you can find on RUclips but someone in the comments claims their grandfather wrote it so who knows. : ) Maybe Tommy will weigh in and tell us the real truth.

Bravo Meastro that is so beautiful 🌏♥

I lost my mind during the first time I heard "One Christmas Night". What a treat of emotion! Unbelieveable!
The Duke just leaves me breathless. Even without lyrics, I can hear and imagine the West. I hope more people find this. Thanks for uploading.

Thank you Tommy Emanuel. You is the best of the Word.
Though he is a kind Gentleman and his playing is absolutely incredible...
His music is timeless and I love the tone of those Maton's.

The Duke is one of the most beautiful instrumental songs ever played Well Done Tommy! Chet would be proud of you!
A beautiful musician - The heart shows through the music. Thank you, Tommy!
A most BRILLIANT Melody... This song I think will go down as TEs best like Angelina. Saw him do this in LA past couple weeks.. His LIVE performances are SUPERB.... Please go see him LIVE.. Worth every penny !!!

"One Christmas Night" is so great! I love it!
Bravooooooo

Tremendous performance! Such passion combined with such virtuosity. Amazingly beautiful Christmas song.
You have no idea how hard it is to play that song without making at least ONE minor error. Of course it is Tommy that wouldn't even make one error.
one of great guitarist...........monster tommy
Yes!
best 13 minutes of my life spent on youtube
Thanks for sending the name of the first song. So very melodic, I'm sure you will all agree !

very touching.

my hero Tommy!
Love "The Duke"
Tommy, I think that were I to leave this world tomorrow, it would be YOUR guitar that would be the last thing I would like to hear.
You're right, the pattern is thumb - middle - index, with the thumb ascending up the bass notes of the chord and the middle and index hitting the high string in quick succession. As far as I can tell, anyway.
Regarding "Kentucky" it was written by Karl Davis and Recorded by Karl & Harty in 1941.
wow!
Deep song!
Beautiful video ! ... ( sigh )
Regarding the song "Kentucky", I think The Blue Sky Boys may have had the first recording of it. It's here on youtube. The Louvins copied it.
The first one played is "The Duke", I suppose. Song inspired by the person of John Wayne. Anyway,thank you for uploading videos!
Thank you bruiser for the info. It's been tough to find data on this song. I'll ask Tommy about it soon to see if he can add anything.
Musicianship ~
He asks his fingers to do some weird things in order to play that great and they don't complain, they just do it.
The closest I can come to identifying the writer of "Kentucky" is the Louvin Brothers which you can find on RUclips but someone in the comments claims their grandfather wrote it so who knows. : ) Maybe Tommy will weigh in and tell us the real truth.
How the hell did he plugged that guitar without looking at 8:05
Well - after doing it 1000
times, - so...
Quem ta aki por causa do Fofão dá 1 joinha aew ... kkkkk
Intro sounds inspired by Tomorrow Tomorrow by Elliott Smith. But not knowing too much of Tommys music, this could be before Eliott's time.
New shiny guitar, ????
КЛАСС!!!
Made possible with RUclips
@z454 just for dropped D an open G tuning i think
is that guitar the Maton Ebg808TE?
Yes.
tommy x nn snettere di sognare..
@koensieben622 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL you're right!!!
