    Watching him bend the whole neck like a giant whammy bar makes me squeal with delight as a guitar *player,* and squeal with horror as a guitar *owner.*

      remember he has to literally beat every new guitar he gets into shape so it plays the way he wants it to play.

    • @jokervienna6433

      I´ve heard him say "Don´t try that with a japanese instrument.", just after he bent the neck like that. It is in one of the live versions of "Guitar boogie".

      Agreed. To both. I do it sometimes. I'm surprised it's not more known

    Awesome reaction! I've met him a few times now and have been to two of his camps, one of them just recently at the end of Sept. He's not only the most talented guitar player on the planet but one of the nicest, most down to earth people you could ever hope to meet. I have a few videos with him and you can see just what I'm talking about. In one he literally sat there listening to me play one of his songs then knew exactly what to say to me afterwards to take my playing to the next level. And did it in a very kind and gentle way. He didn't even have to listen to me but he did. Love him and look forward to meeting him again.

    I saw Tommy and his brother Phill playing as the Emmanuel Brothers in bars when I was at university, then in clubs with the band Goldrush, where he played drums and some guitar. They would do anything from Pink Floyd to Al Di Meola. Last time I saw him was as the opening act for Eric Clapton in Sydney. Absolute legend and a real player. Brilliant every time I saw him.

  • @yambo59

    Dont hate him - grow up and admire the decades of practice it takes to become this kind of player HE DID THE WORK he deserves respect for it.

  • @roywall8169
    @roywall8169 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    He does not read music, he learns all these parts by ear and memorizes them.

  • @fistovuzi

    Tommy has played guitar every day, for hours, since he was about 7 years old. he's now in his 70's.
    it's like breathing to him.
    it takes ten thousand hours to become a Master at any craft. for Tommy, that was decades ago.

  • @rodpope7838

    Tommy is a legend - he and his brother Phil (RIP) are just amazing musicians. Equal to anyone else without question.

  • @collinnicholasns
    @collinnicholasns 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    He is one of like 6 certified guitar players in the world. He has been playing professionally since he was 6 years old. I saw him in concert a few years ago it was an amazing show

  • @roywall8169
    @roywall8169 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Tommie was a drummer in his family band before picking up the guitar. He uses his guitars as percussion instruments in his live shows. He is one of the most entertaining musicians on planet earth.

    • @cocolossal69
      @cocolossal69 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't know why people think this. Tommy learned guitar first and he and his brother Phil both played guitar in the family band. He played drums in Phil's band in the early 80s. He calls himself a drummer who plays guitar, maybe that's where people get confused?

  • @nogarddragonkin

      Tommy says he's not the best.
      both Chet Atkins and Les Paul said he was the best. if Chester and Lester say you are the best, you just might be. for real.

    With half a century of daily purposeful practice you too can be half as good as Tommy.

    I watched Tommy perform with Joe Bonamassa, after the performance Joe said, "I know about 300 chords and Tommys just played more than 300 chords.

  • @artistjoh
    @artistjoh ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In the family band Tommy would play drums because his brother was even better on guitar than he was. Amazing family. You have to listen to Tommy performing "Initiation." You will hear sounds you never thought possible from a guitar.

  • @pianoekket
    @pianoekket 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You can tell that Silentchaos15 in your stream, that his favorite version of this isn't with Eric Clapton. Clapton never recorded Classical Gas. It's Mason Williams, the guy who wrote the song :)
    Btw I've seen Tommy live twice, he's just on another level when it comes to play guitar

  • @MegaGameHunter
    @MegaGameHunter 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    He said he grown calluses on his right hand, so that's why he also gets that sound without nails.

    Крутой гитарист! Он мастер своего дела. Мне понравилось слушать и смотреть на него. Музыкант сам кайфовал от своей игры, а я кайфовала, глядя на него. Парни, у вас редко бывают подобные вещи, а жаль, ведь игра на гитаре - это игра на нервах в положительном смысле. Я люблю слушать, когда ты, Алан, играешь во время потоков на Твич, люблю слушать Ба Та. Я бы с радостью слушала и тебя, Эрик, если бы была у меня такая возможность. Мне хочется больше таких видео! Спасибо вам, дорогие!

  • @ariadnepyanfar1048
    @ariadnepyanfar1048 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, I loved all the technical info you gave about thumb pick protection, hand placement, and left hand thumb use. About the wear, he really uses the guitar as a percussive instrument too, doesn't he? And bends an acoustic! I've never seen that before. I know he's self taught, and can't read sheet music, Tommy is an Aussie Legend.

  • @atmos1x

    We call him Uncle Tommy lol. Such s great artist. Found him back in 2007 and loved him since. Amazing live.

  • @noelanderson8915
    @noelanderson8915 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I heard it mentioned on one of the reactions was that when Tommy first started (6) and onward for some time, there were no base guitars around and he learned that using his thumb he could get those base sounds. Don't hold me to this as I am no guitarist but I was fortunate to see Tommy on two occasions, once in the rainforest town of Kuranda at the Kuranda Amphitheatre and once at the Cairns Civic Centre where all musicans performed pretty much back then. Kuranda was known as having a fairly substantial hippy population back then and at the Amphitheatre there was a wiff of some (?) sweet smelling stuff in the air. That night he had David Hudson, a digeridoo virtuoso getting the concert off to a great. I have two of Tommy's CDs and One of David's called Digitralia... worth a listen.... thanks for the reaction

  • @Paldasan
    @Paldasan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The appearance of heavy use on the guitar may be intentional. Some of his guitars are for more straight down the line playing, but others he intentionally scuffs in order to aid the percussive elements Those ones are also likely to have a pickup inside the box near the surface to help catch those sounds. His interview with Rick Beato is an eye opener.

  • @davidstephens6462
    @davidstephens6462 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love watching younger musicians react to Tommy. I've played close to 40 years, I ain't nowhere close!!! YEAH! I freak lots of folks pulling the headstock for a bend/dip on my acoustic.

    10 bucks then, good luck these days.
    Absolutely brilliant musicians.

  • @BassMatt1972
    @BassMatt1972 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tommy.. Ive met him, twice. He is the most humble, polite (Christian) guy. He performed in the Emmanuel Family Band with his brother Phil (R.I.P.) who was considered the "lead" guitarist.
    Ive heard him play this (and other songs) outside at a 2000 concert. Spectacular.
    Tommy plays Australian made Maton guitars (thats his signature model) and is only one of 3 "Certified Guitar Players" as per the Chet Atkins Foundation (selected by Chet).

  • @donkunes8630

    Some cut a ping pong ball into fingernail shapes and tape them on , like Don Ross , Calum Graham. Tommy is awesome , a master of the instrument. Also like Preston Reed , Ralf Illenberger with or without Martin Kolbe , Peter Autschbach, Roy Roger's, slide guitar, Kelly Joe Phelps slide & vocals ,Joshco Stephan &others

  • @ellenfaulkner5070
    @ellenfaulkner5070 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know if he's still performing, but he's used to perform at a restaurant in Sydney - Oz - I used to work at in the 90's. He's great to see live if you get the chance!

  • @rizmancorpuz
    @rizmancorpuz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    One of the best guitarists ever. Too bad he sticks to acoustic. If he ever goes electric, he'd be more famous. More kick and passion then. Kind of like Eric Clapton compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan. His guitar hero is Chet Atkins. Not too many guitarists who can play the melody and rhythm parts at same time. He's also very entertaining, a showman. Many guitarists like him show their technicality but boring to watch.

    • @roywall8169
      @roywall8169 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He does play electric. He shreds. Look up some of the shows he played with his brother (who recently died), they are magical together.

    Cool guitar player! He is a master of his craft. I liked listening and watching him. The musician himself was getting high from his playing, and I was getting high looking at him. Guys, you rarely have such things, which is a pity, because playing guitar is a game on nerves in a positive sense. I like to listen when you, Alan, play during streams on Twitch, I like to listen to Ba Ta. I would love to listen to you, Eric, if I had the opportunity. I want more of these videos! Thank you, dear ones!
