At the end of the performance, everyone gives Tommy a standing ovation!!!.... and all of us guitar players quietly slip out the back and go home to list all of our guitars for sale on ebay.
I am a aussie guy who has known Tommy for many many years I still see Tommy in concert whenever he comes home . I rescently saw a vid on here from a recent show & his chops were still cutting it to the detractors YES there are some who like to TRY to run own genuine artists ! I don,t know why either perhaps ..jealousy ..envy I dn,t know BUT I just say Hey ..when you play guitar all your life for & with the greatest recording artist ( vocalist & others ) then venture out as an intrumentilst ...establish a loyal following of people who play & love the music of your chosen instrument ....you sell out concerts all over the EARTH & you keep both feet on the ground & your head n heart with other peoples concerns THEN YOU CAN CLICK THE THUMBS DOWN BUTTON TILL THEN GO AWAY & BE MISERABLE ELSEWHERE !
I talked to him once in my hometown Gävle in Sweden. He was a very nice person and was supposed to perform in the Concert Hall later in the evening, although he took his time to talk to us at a ordinary diner about music and guitarplaying. A memory for life. The local radio sent it live.
I've been fortunate to see this man 10 times over the past 9 years. I've heard him play the same song many times, but he never plays it the same way twice which is why I keep going back. He's incredible and I always try to bring somebody different with me when I see him.
I was about to say the same thing, thinking of Chet Atkins (with whom Tommy recorded and stayed in a granny flat in Chet's backyard when Mr. Guitar was in his dying days. Chet never performed the same way, "live" at his concerts the songs the way we remembered them -- every note burned into our brains. Thanks, Ted Hoeborn for the memory. Left my own "review" this day. -- Mark B of the frozen North
No one plays your national anthem better. You know -- the one with the lyric that goes . . . "once a jolly swagman camped beside a billy bong, under the shade of a Goolagong tree . . . Thanks to Cameron Shine for eliciting the memory (such as it is). I could be mistaken about those lyrics. Look forward to visiting the land down under. As James Taylor sang, of Mexico -- never really been, but I'd sure like to go!
I am simply speechless...... There are no words to describe Tommy's unbelievable guitar skills and showmanship. I have had lots of guitar heroes over my 40 years of playing but Tommy in my current hero and has been for 10 years! WOW! 💥💥💥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If he hasn't been already, Tommy should be awarded the highest accolade our country has to offer merely for demonstrating his guitar virtuosity to the world at large and what can be achieved by devotion, dedication and practice practice practice :)
Oh my God! Brilliant performance and musical genius as always from my great Guitar Hero. A man who always inspire me to play guitar. I'm afraid I wouldn't find another inspiration once he gone. That's why long live, Tommy!
Just a quick note on Tommy, I heard him early '16 in a local theater and there was supposed to be an opening act. That act had to cancel due to bad weather so Tommy came out and did a double set for us, which was greatly appreciated and of course the whole show was just incredible. He's an unbelievable talent and a wonderful showman.
I absolutely love to listen, watch, and hear anything his fans and he himself puts on the internet. He is a true master of his craft. I am always inspired by his showmanship as well as his mastery. I have been playing the guitar for 32 ish years. I think it's strange that anyone would even consider selling their instrument or all together quitting playing the guitar based solely on how much better anyone else is at the same instrument. Even if it is a joke or just a strange way to compliment Tommy. Personally, he keeps me excited about playing and show's me that there are still many ways to improve. Knock the dust off those guitars people, hiding/running from them is truly a wast of a perfectly good tree.
Jesus when he started playing the boogie at that tempo i was like is he actually gonna pull this off? so risky to play a song like that at that tempo on stage...what a musician..
Hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.......of practice
Saw him 12 times in 10 years, and people ask me if I get bored hearing him play the same songs. I tell them that he may play the same songs (not all the time, but yes I've heard many of the same songs several times) but I've never heard him the play same song the same way twice. So you never know what he is going to put in there. A true master and a genius.
11:48 - 12:35 . . I`m always amazed by the groove during this passage. Interestingly enough, he is able to get the staccato accent with his fingers while pumping the base with the pick... Amazing..
Singled out that same portion in my own 'review' above. And you captured in words what's going on there: that "he is able to get the staccato accent with his fingers while pumping the base with the pick... Amazing.."
Non..je ne suis pas adepte de la technique "métal" ni de la "disto" en général..mais préfère les sons de l'acoustique..classique ou autres... Merci de votre réponse ♥♥
Boogie till the cows come home . . . “Actually,” as my favorite actress says in Trouble With The Curve, “That isn't his best pitch. Show him the curve.” “The best guitarist I have ever seen!” declared Eric Clapton -- after watching in amazement as Australia's Tommy Emmanuel played boogie-woogie for ten minutes, without repeating himself: Just when you think he couldn't make it even more interesting, he doubles down, again and again. Look at the faces in this crowd - the intelligence and the joy! You can tell half of them are guitarists! (We are like fishermen recognizing each other from afar.) For now, skip his opener, Classical Gas (best version you've ever heard) but skip ahead to 3:25. [Note to self] Highlights of “better and better” at 6:45 and (funky) at 8:30, 10:45, and 12:45. Not just the speed, but the shading! That plus swing! If the late Oscar Peterson had played guitar, he might have sounded sort of exactly like this. Thanks for sharing.

С научной точки зрения: любому движению тела предшествует мозговой сигнал. Исполнение музыкальных произведений Томми Самуелем опровергает эту гипотезу.Его пальцы опережают мысль.Такое впечатление, что у него на руках по восемь пальцев. Как играл Паганини я могу только догадываться, но как играет Томми......поражая моё восприятие! Если бы не видел своими глазами и не слышал собственными ушами ни за что бы не поверил ,что человек может так играть!!! Его виртуозность на уровне подсознания . А ещё он умеет обогатить музыку ВИЗУАЛЬНО своими трюками и эмоциями. С появлением такого музыканта требуется придумать новый музыкальный ключ.
We can all just agree that Tommy has put in his 10,000 and some! I know you didn't get alot of views and it's pretty easy to be randomized to the end of the line in the search que and from the suggestion Bot, but I personally want to thank you for taking your time to post this little gem of Tommy doing his Thang so well. Picture and sound quality were very clear, Kudos to sound engineer and Camera (yeah I know, no one will see the comment let alone these guys LOL it's for me and Alex. The ever expanding music library is created by all who participate and my appreciation for all you beautiful people.
Tommy watching you play reminds me of my dad playing and you bring a breath of fresh air to a fantastic gift of music my friend.im 73 an enjoy every kind of music that you play.THANKYOU SIR.
There really is not enough positive words to say about Mr Emmanuel. Whatever i say wouldnt be good enough but i have to say i love every single note that i have heard him play, and thats quite a few..God bless this man and his guitars...
There aren't enough superlatives. Take all the greatest greatest guitarists of all time -- you can maybe start with the Romero's -- and line them ALL up behind Tommy Emmanuel.
If we take all the greatest guitar players regardless of style and melt them altogether, we get Tommy Emmanuel..I could swear that his guy is not human.
I always say this is the best acoustic guitarist in the world, but then my friends says not, its the guitarists from guns n roses etc....lol No one can understand Tommy is the best
Yes Luis.. I sense your frustration as Tommy is my favourite too .. However, your friends emotions stir more when Slash from GnR plays ( as do many others... Not you or me though).. We all hear things differently, and who are ANY OF US to tell others what THEY are hearing.
Alot of practicing and alot of time away from the family . Thankfully im now grounded and spend my life at home . I love playing guitar and have gain much respect . But i realised one day that i dont remember those family pics . Always on the road and thats not good . No good being a great guitarist dad when you are never around .
awesome to no extent this man is unbelievably talented I wouldn't believe it if I didn't know a little about playing and be leave me watching him I know a little.
Tommy you are the most amazing guitarist I have worked with , I play guitar but most of all my talent is audio engineering , I can't remember what year it was but I did your sound in Syracuse NY , I have worked with Lauren Berriger he played with you that night for years , your front of house engineer got stuck in an airport somewhere and couldn't get there in time to do sound check , so I got to mix the front and the monitors , well I must have done a good job , cuz you autographed your C/D to me saying I rock , I must tell you I was so honored to do that gig that I am still high on that night , you are truly incredible !!!!!!!!
So did I. Sat through the performance, tapping my foot, with a silly grin on my face and tears trickling down my cheeks. Must have been tears of extreme joy!

Gypsy, ragtime, blues, Celtic, bluegrass, jazz, percussion, Latin.
Plays it all.
By ear.
Doesn't read music.
Genius.
A lot of guitarist's don't read music, loads of them believe it or not
@@oldgit4260 Paul McCartney for one.
Tommy is the best acoustic guitarist in the world, ever
Estas Tonne is waiving at you
EDUARDO FRANCISCO GUTIERREZ DA FORNO marcin is laughing at you 😂😂
lol there's no such thing as "The best acoustic guitar player in the world"
Yes, he is
No.
The best guitar player.
ANY kind.
Doesn’t matter how many times you watch this guy. He never fails to IMPRESS!
Even when you know how good Tommy Emmanuel is, it's hard not to be impressed from one video to the next...
I am simply speechless...... There are no words to describe Tommy's unbelievable guitar skills and showmanship. I have had lots of guitar heroes over my 40 years of playing but Tommy in my current hero and has been for 10 years! WOW! 💥💥💥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant Tommy BRAVO ! Health and many years of active life HERO !
+валерий белов heroes pull ppl out of burning cars, mentor is a better term
A big hand to the production team that made this video possible. The quality of both the video and audio is fantastic!

As a '' guitar player '' for 53 yrs. I can't even begin to describe how amazing this is !
Hats off to him man for keeping an audience enthralled with nothing but an acoustic guitar. No easy thing ....
Plus one of the nicest human beings on the planet. Which is better than being a great guitar player.
His fingers just seem to float across the frets and always land precisely where they need to. It's mesmerising. I so love watching him play.
I have only heard 3 other guitarist play this song,Jose Feliciono,Glen Campbell, Roy Clark.you are fantastic sir.thankyou
Amazing improvisation skills,endless possibilities it would seem. He takes you on a musical journey
Tommy Emmanuel, chúng ta không còn từ ngữ nào để ngợi khen ông ấy. Chúng con xin cảm ơn Thiên Chúa đã ban những người như ông ấy cho chúng con.
Just a quick note on Tommy, I heard him early '16 in a local theater and there was supposed to be an opening act. That act had to cancel due to bad weather so Tommy came out and did a double set for us, which was greatly appreciated and of course the whole show was just incredible. He's an unbelievable talent and a wonderful showman.
Don't blame the supporting act for cancelling, probably didn't wanna get shown up!
I absolutely love to listen, watch, and hear anything his fans and he himself puts on the internet. He is a true master of his craft. I am always inspired by his showmanship as well as his mastery. I have been playing the guitar for 32 ish years. I think it's strange that anyone would even consider selling their instrument or all together quitting playing the guitar based solely on how much better anyone else is at the same instrument. Even if it is a joke or just a strange way to compliment Tommy. Personally, he keeps me excited about playing and show's me that there are still many ways to improve. Knock the dust off those guitars people, hiding/running from them is truly a wast of a perfectly good tree.
The absoulately best I have ever heard bar none, thank you Lord for giving such gift to Tommy the love he has for it displayed in his performance
This video deserves billion views!!!
Tommy is fast and precise!! Wow! What a performance! AMAZING!
me and wifey saw him at the Fur Peace Ranch about 6 years ago.Flawless...as ALWAYS.
How have I never heard this man before today is beyond me? ! AMAZING!
The best guitar player today!
Jesus when he started playing the boogie at that tempo i was like is he actually gonna pull this off? so risky to play a song like that at that tempo on stage...what a musician..

No one gets more joy from playing than Tommy. The audience feel it and give it back. True power circle only music can pull off.
Unreal. Best I've ever seen
Best performance after he reached 60s...he is truly a legend n will be...

The biggest compliment I can pay him is to suggest he may be the Jeff Beck of the acoustic guitar!
That's a heck of a compliment to Jeff Beck.
There aren't enough superlatives. Take all the greatest greatest guitarists of all time -- you can maybe start with the Romero's -- and line them ALL up behind Tommy Emmanuel.
