Simply the best.
Sweetest human being (on top of being one of the greatest axemen who ever walked the earth). Bless you, Tommy!
his playing always blows me away. stunningly talented. my guitar does not and will not sound like that.
My guitar. Could do it. I just cant play it. Yet
@@richardthomas4001 keep going Richard.' cheers and happy holidays.
King of acoustic
When he pinched his hand I laughed. Because he looked so interested, he's like a little kid talking to his cool uncle lmao
Being a musician isn't all about talent. It's top sport which means a lot of practice, repetition and effort. And it doesn't necessarily mean acrobatics. I consider Seasick Steve a musician too. Music may be simple as well.
Omg he’s an Ace Ventura fan
I love him even more now
🥸🤩
Oh my God, I had won tickets to a Tommy Emmanuelle show in Nashville, had heard of him, but. Good lord, when he came out by himself, playing some ungodly beautiful melody, I burst into tears. Had never had something like that move me, next to some Beatles songs..he was unbelievable.
Ha, ha, I used to get so mad at my dad for practicing violin around me. Sadly I would give anything to have that back.
That is really awesome to say
I know I likely bug my wife and kids with music. I try not to do it much around them but it’s a driving force and they know where I love to be. “ In the studio”
So, I can only hope one day they will think like you do.
My stumpy fingers could never play that stretch. He's right, my family hates sultans of swing but after all that repetitive playing and failing I can play it note for note now. I'm very happy about that.
''Musicians need practice, but everyone else hates it''-so funny. When I was 16, my mom use to beat on the wall at night and yell ''Put that guitar up'', so she could go to sleep. So I would go out to the back porch and play softly, so she couldn't hear me.
@dennis pickard not getting famous anytime soon 🤣, but everytime I get a new guitar, I always go by her house, and show her first. She always gets me to sing ''The first cut is the deepest''
I practiced everything on an unplugged electric guitar.
Great story. When I was younger my father said to me that he would put the guitar in the closet if i didn't stop practicing. He said that it ruined my education. He would give it back when i graduated. I capt practicing but very softly in the garden where he couldn't hear me.
When you think about it Tommy is like the musical equivalent of a Olympic athlete. He’s quite literally been non stop touring for four decades to make his living, even in his 60’s he still plays something like over 250 shows a year and practices each day in his hotel rooms to keep his chops strong and up to speed. To play something like Caravan is actually physically demanding and he’s able to do it so effortlessly because he non stop trains himself to be able to. A true working musician
Saw his band Gold Rush play with his brother.
They were Electric
Tommy could wipe the floor with 99% of shredders.
Very true. As with Olympic athletes, it's non-stop practice to get to the top, and then it's non-stop practice to stay there. I once met Sabicas - now deceased flamenco guitarist - who told me that he practices 8 hours EVERY DAY... and that's after becoming world famous in his day for his skill. He said he could notice a deterioration in his ability if he skipped even one day of practice.
I've heard TE say he practices many hours every day, in addition to his performances. That's a dedication I could never do - I'd be bored out of my mind no matter how good I got. I'm like a butterfly... I like to sample everything life has to offer, not just chew on the same old bone, day after day. I guess that's why I'm not rich and famous.
Don't forget how much your instrument setup matters. I mean what kind of normal person refrets their guitar just after they bought it? Tommy does lol. He also uses an extremely low action with flexible core Martin strings.
"Play it slow, bar by bar." My guitar teacher places a sheet of paper halfway into a bar and tells me to master the half-bar, then go to the second half. I think if I were to try a Tommy tab, he'd place the sheet on the first note or chord.
Zeus Zanesville
Why does Tommy's look just cracks me up when he pinched his hand at 2:17 :')
Like he got off on it a bit lmao
That was awkward af!
Sorry, I don’t see it...I see the dude trying to see the actual strength of Tommy’s hand, but an awkward look?
No.
"Play it over and over and over" - now I understand why my wife hates guitar😡
I feel your pain.
@@orbodman No pain, no gain-:) I keep fretting
So did mine. That's why she's gone.
@@235buz Mine just hated me...
Hello Finn how are you doing. I trust you're safe and in good health. God bless you........ I'm looking for new friend okay 😊
I admire a lot of guitar players but Tommy E is the one who makes me say I wish I could play just like that. I've been an unashamed fanboy of the guy for over 20 years and he just gets better. He's also exceptionally gracious to his fans.
Interesting. I feel exactly the same way, though I only 'discovered' Tommy about 2 years ago. By a coincidence, Andre at Your Guitar Workshop started his series of lessons on Classical Gas a few days after I'd had an operation. Boy did that give me something to focus on! Then onto Angelina. Needless to say I can't play them properly but the fun I've had learning them has been a truly joyous experience. Tommy, I love you, man!
@@johnenock1198 any time you get inspired in any way it is a great great thing and remember you also have that ability ,as so does everyone ,I just love that some of us are willing to say it. I am 55 years old last week and still get the goose bumps and butter flies when playing guitar ,and I hope it never goes away after 45 years playing stringed instruments I still learn something new every time I pick up an instrument or sit behind one. so keep pickin and try a new thing ever day......have fun you earned it
I first caught TE on that old 80's show Ralph Emery hosted... Nashville Now? Pop Goes the Country? Can't remember. Anyway, he just keeps getting better! I listen to him all the time. And I've seen him twice in my hometown, and he's such a great live performer. None better!
@@caseylee12 That's where I saw him flipping around channels. I saw Chet so I stopped; I was hooked right then. He did Guitar Boogie and it knocked me on my backside.
I love this advice: "If you're a musician practice somewhere away from your family"... This reminds of this one time my wife asked me if I'm not tired of playing the same song 10 times in a row... I told her back that this was not even enough to warm me up, yet!
I learned something about playing music the other day that had never occurred to me. I tinker on the keyboard, playing a bit of this song then a bit of that one, etc. I rarely have ever taken the time to learn to play ONE tune, properly and all the way through.
Then someone said, that's a mistake. No one will sit very long listening to a player pick out bits and pieces of many tunes. But if you can play ONE tune well, you'll have something that others will listen to and enjoy.
So now, I'm working on learning one tune well. Wish me luck.
I;m gonna get one down if it takes another 10 years!
i always wanted to play a tune by jimmy page called bron-y-aur ever since i was a kid and never thought i would be able to learn it and play it. i eventually found out the tuning for the tune and have now after many hours managed to pretty much play it all the way through. this is so gratifying. i really had to knuckle down but the reward is brilliant. when i play it to anyone they are really impressed just as i would have been all those years ago when i dreamed about learning this tune. extremely satisfying
Honest words.... I use to do the very same thing. I could play many bits of lots of different songs, then one day, one of my friends asked, “ why don’t you ever finish the song? “. Truth is, I never took the time to learn to play the entire song.
@@timdavis7661 I did something similar many years ago, with the two solos in Steely Dans Kid Charlemagne. I was close for months and months, then finally one day it came tighter and quite perfect actually. It was really gratifying, know what you mean.
Thats so true and it goes for sll instruments , all my friends that play , i tell play me a Whole song beginning to end , they.get all stressed out .
Tommy is something else! He plays with the joy of his young kid soul and is technically impeccable. For sure there is a lot of work behind his art. I have seen him play in Uppsala Sweden and in Madson USA and enjoyed every second of his gigs.
"Don't practice in front of people--it drives them crazy." My banjo teacher always claimed that was where the phrase "woodshed" came from. The banjo is loud, and their rural, early American families would shout at them, "Go out to the woodshed and do that."
He is to the guitar what Ussain Bolt is to sprinting. No-one comes close.
Tommy ain’t retired. He’s probably getting even better.
Francesco Buzzurro - manha de carnival, thank me later
@@AIRTIME96 Oh dear, not even close.
Jimmy Page!
@@Beebo You're kidding, surely.
Actually he has very big hands. That's also very important to his amazing guitar playing skills
True. Some of his chords aren't even possible for people with small hands.
I heartily agree with his practice privately theory as even if your a decent player your loved ones will soon become to loathe your plinky plonking. I speak from experience and have been assassinated a few times
I play trumpet and live in an old 1100 square foot house.. need I say more.. my poor family.
gertnood , mute, surely!
@@gertnood I remember when I was little, I would always wake up to a trumpet player doing scales. Good times!
what a nice guy and so true about everyone else hating the practice! My brother was traumatised by my repetition of a blues riff which my guitar teacher taught me. Even to this day..
He just said what no other guitarist has ever said and you know what he’s right
Seems like a really nice guy. There are no weird tricks here just good old fashioned guitar playing.
Lmao at 2:20 when the guy touched Tommy’s hand
moment of edginess there I felt
Sione Finau 🦠
Best guitarist alive now. I want no debate.
let me think about that one there must be someone, thought about it and NOPE it is definitely Tommy.
No, I don't think there's a debate to be had. Musically, technically, emotionally, simply the best guitarist on the planet 👌
Arguably, and I do agree by the way, he is the best discovered guitarist
100% correct.
Tommy is a God.
Which came First tommy or the Guitar ?
Thanks for all the advice good sir!
T.E. Is a continual joy in these dark times
That's why it's called woodshedding.
He seems to be a very generous man - not all afraid to pass on what he has learned to others. I bet he is a true gentleman!
He really is mate, he takes the time for his fans because he is still grateful for everything in life
Yeap. Rule number 1 of being a musician is hide away from everyone for hundreds (thousands) of hours to practice, and then play the 3 songs you've learnt how to play for people to nitpick at and ask "you know only three songs ?"
Dude touches Tommy’s hand sensuality...
tommy: “yeah please could I rather you not thanks”
🔵 Why would you try to pervert something wholesome like that?....
....did you miss a dose?
Love you Tom, I know what you've been through. Your a very good person.
Humble to the end. Yo didnt have to be, but you chose to be, Peace my friend.
I always tend to forget that even masters like Emmanuel also have to practice. Cause it always looks like they just pick up their instrument and plays whatever.
C'mon folks! Let's give this guy 100,000 subscribers! Fabulous video. I IMMEDIATELY SUBSCRIBED! Thank you for sharing this. I do believe that [imo] "not-arguably" Mr. Emmanuel "is" thee best guitarist of all time! His ability with which to cover ANY style/genre & doing 'seemingly' effortlessly, with precision & such class, is unparalleled in the music industry today ! "Lightening a Bottle" & indeed, a "Renaissance Man!"
Love & Light to you all. 😉 💜 🍀 👻 🎶
Thank you for your great comment. We have an ongoing series of films on www.chrissjuicebar.com with various artists and personalities. Enjoy and take care!
I saw nothing weird and nothing that wasn't obvious, and I didn't even see a ”trick”. Maybe I was too tired or something. I don't say that I didn't enjoy the video, I just think the title doesn't describe it at all.
Watch from 2:43 - 2:47.
It's all about the knuckle.
@@markplummer8493 Yes, I didn't exclude that part first time but I watched it again now. Was that a ”weird trick” or a ”dangerous shape” or shouldn't I have known about it? And what shouldn't I have known about? That you can do this or that it's done in that particular song? I'm sorry, but I don't see that as a ”trick” and I fail to see how it can be dangerous, I do the same when needed or when it's convenient (I don't play this kind of music though, but that's a different story). Maybe I'm weird too, then… 😁
And again, just to be even clearer, I did enjoy the video, no question about that.
Now, that is a great interview. Let Tommy talk, that is all there is to it!
Hello how are you doing. I trust you're safe and in good health. God bless you........ I'm looking for new friend okay 😊
My knuckles bend like that, but I can't play like Tommy
I always amazed how when I learn a new piece of music I almost hopeless but bit by bit I get my hands doing the right things and what once seemed impossible is achievable. It's a metaphor, man!
I agree with you Tommy in regards to practicing away from your family. After I work it out and then as you say practice, practice, practice. Just as Im getting halfway decent, my wife will tell me," I think its time for a new song". And Im thinking I have another month to go....🤯🤯🤯🎸
Not only is he a genius, creative monster, stunning performer etc he is the only person at this level who talks and teaches like an average joe and explains things in a easy to understand way
I saw you (Tommy) live in Asheville NC maybe 20 or so years ago. After your show I had a chance to talk to your road manager (that's who she said she was) , she told me that you drive her crazy , sitting in the back of the bus constantly practicing rifts or working on new rifts. She said you would do the same rift over and over and over for the longest time. So I believe you when you said in the video that its practice, practice, and more practice. BTW, I loved your performance. You hit the stage in a white long sleeve dress shirt, hair sticking straight up. I knew it was going to great, and it was better than great. You are a real showman.
I just found out about the last advise bc I’m learning the guitar in front of my wife and now she wants to throw my guitar away lol ppl can’t handle repetition, got it 😂😂😂
Lol I practise slide on a homemade out of tune guitar at the tramstation! For security reasons I go away after 10 - 20 mins. But then again I have also done parachuting and driven a 125 cc from Gothenburg to Barcelona. Without passport and after the moped had been hit by a policecar. (You gotta try to outrun the police at least once in your lifetime.)
Tommy's right. Accuracy first then speed.
Weird of you to grab Tommy's hand without asking him first.
Bill T Oh, please. He didn't grab his hand. He touched Tommy's pinky and palm briefly to feel the tension and muscles that Tommy was talking about.
I say practice slow and precisely..if u learn it wrong.. u always have the right way and the wrong way in your memory
The part about annoying others is SOOOOO true! My wife hates it when I practice while she’s watching tv! Lol
Tommy said what Ive always thought.. He plays guitar like its a piano and that is the mark of a fantastic guitar player..
Or play it like a fiddle or saxophone or whatever. It’s a musical instrument. Why limit its voice to folk, or rock or blues guitar ideas.
I’m glad he said he has to practice practice practice. It takes me days to learn a song.
I just started with fingerstyle type playing and its like starting all over lol. It's taken me like 3 weeks to learn 1 / 3 of rhiannon lol. Damn does it sound cool though
That´s so true! I drive my family crazy with the same repetitions ..........over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... over and... again.
It's a gift. And a curse. We don't mind. They do! lol
I picked up knuckle bending from studying Tommy's work. A fantastic technique to know; it's let me fret notes that I otherwise couldn't
Don't practice in front of people it drives them crazy. It's called WOODSHEDDING as in "Jeeze, kid, go do that out in the woodshed it'll keep you dry" - from 80's guy
The great Steve Vai. Said the very same thing. Steve said if leaning something play it ridiculously slowly. And build up the tempo as you progress..so two great guitarist can't be wrong...
Oh well, I will NEVER be able to do that! ! What I can do, is take my guitars, use them for a bonfire and roast marshmallows ~ ~ ~ 😔
I hadn't really considered the bendy knuckle thing
I agree wholeheartedly about how to learn slowly and build up control and speed but more so about practicing away from people!
At times I wish I could get away from myself! 😂
Just Imagine what he'd sound like if he had six fingers hahaha
Tommy = Best Kinda People! Not to even mention is genius playing!
Use it or lose it. !
Love this guy. A True Master. Humble. Sharing the knowledge = Legend.
His song 'Old Photograph's' is reminiscent of McCartney's 'Singalong Junk'.
WIERD TRICK!!! which is practice....
Lol! Nice ACE VENTURA reference at the end! Thanks for this rad interview blast!
I love this, no fluff, no ego just plain truth. Softly spoken advise that’s worth diamonds to any musican
yOu cAn PLay it SLowly yoU cAn plAy it FAst
Well, I just understood why my wife hate Hotel California, the chorus... thank's Tommy !!! ;0))))))))))
Dear Mr. cameraman, and/or dear Mr. interviewer. Just a thought, perhaps another opportunity will come to watch Tommy demonstrate his mastery without us having to try to peer through the skull of the young man in the blue shirt. Just a thought! No harm no foul! I mean hell we could hear it right? Keep up the good work!
Tommy rocks and RULES!
Even songs by him you think are simple are deceptively hard I have found.
So true. Been learning Autumn Leaves with 3rd and 7th guide tones, two notes at a time. Wife says: what the hell kind of lesson is that"? Tommy, watching you play usually gives me conflicting goals: practice like hell or just quit, you'll never be Tommy E!
He is so right about repetition.
A top classical musician has to practice 12 hours a day
to keep his skills level.
thank you, Tommy. Excellent player and teacher
You are right. I’m a slow learner so I play the same material over and over. Never when anyone is home!
The seven people that gave thumbs down must have made a mistake and thought they were hitting thumbs up.
michael cosentino - probably Australians, right? They’d have the thumbs opposite down under, amiright?
I just love the truth of your teaching Tommy. Practice practice practice !!! Thank you very much for your time, and all that you share 👍
Haha, id made me so laugh. "Someone will assasinate you" ;) That's so true. Tommy you are a pure deep soule, thanks!
Tommy is like Hulk..strong
His words are right on the money!!!practice....repetition...and then "There is Music"
The one and only ! Fan-freakin tastic! 👏🏻
I remember more than 1 college classmate in the mid 1960s driven to madness by a room mate trying to learn Doc Watson's version of Black Mountain Rag...particularly the last 12 bars.
Very rare footage of Tommy without a guitar there at the end.
Whats the name of the song at the very beginning?
Great interview ...I love Tommy..he takes control of the interview and dominates the subject matter
So true about practicing too....I drive myself nuts repeating musical phrases and parts...I can only imagine how my neighbors feel......my gf says she dont mind....but I know shes lying lol
Hmm my daughter practising the violin (that takes a bit of beating) she thinks she sounds like Lucia Micarelli performing a rendition of 'Kashmir' and I cannot tell her she's not. Go RUclips ( Chris Botti Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) Live Montreal ) with Lucia Micarelli performing then you'll understand the pain of being a parent of child practicing an instrument, there is no escape.
See www.chrissjuicebar.com
A whole series of interviews. Chris Botti is on there too, and a lot of other legends.
"The more complicated it is, the more slow you have to go!" (3:06).
I already learned this from my Tai Chi teacher.
It can be useful for all techniques using muscles.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with your fans, Tommy!
His left hand just looks so huge. A spider chord without even trying.
How long do Tommy's guitars last before he literally wears the soundboard out?? I guess Willie Nelson has gotten some decent mileage out of his N-20........
Whats the name of the first song?
if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly
It's takes a long time to build up strength in hand. I was having lot of pain when I first started practicing a couple hours a day. Seems to be getting less . They closed guitar studio where I was taking lessons. It is hard to learn new stuff with out access to sheet music and musical genus to help you. I lucked out and met a college student who is in his fourth year studying music theory. He had to go back home until they reopen school. Tommy is one of my guitar hero's give you a goal to strive towards.
Beautiful player.
Good advice from the master .
A give fret stretch,,not bad
I love Tommy, and all his amazing abilities, but the one that impressed me the most is when he played "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (I know, if I never hear the song again it will be too soon. but...) for Les Paul, a few years before his passing..It was Les' favorite tune..Gotta see it!..Just beautiful!
Fantastic guitar player.
