Our good friend Tommy Emmanuel brings Chet Atkins' Gretsch 6120 Prototype aka "DARK EYES" to The Country Music Hall of Fame Gretsch event on July 16th, 2016. Tommy talks a little about the guitar's history and the now famous legacy of Chet Atkins and Gretsch Guitars... and then pours his heart out with this absolutely haunting piece. Bravo Tommy... Bravo!
What a heartfelt and stirring tribute to Mr. Chet Atkins and his early Gretsch "Dark Eyes" Proto guitar... It was like Chet's ghost was there in the room, watching over everyone. History was made today... simply amazing. Tommy is playing a song he wrote for his wife called "Clara's Theme"
We were deeply moved in a way that we have not been moved before... with such a deep sense of pride, loss, honor, melancholy, bittersweet, joy, and finality. We are so proud to be a part of Chet's legacy and hopefully (God willing) our guitar will end up at The Country Music Hall of Fame for ever and ever... for all to marvel.
A sincere thanks to Tommy Emmanuel, Max Stavron for making all of this possible, and to Fred Grestch, Joe Carducci, John Knowles, Mark Pritcher, Mick Buck, and all the good folks at CMHOF.

The song is called Clara's Theme.
What’s stated in the title is not what I heard. This was definitely not Dark Eyes
@@havanese37 Dark Eyes is the name of the guitar.
So perfect in not being perfect
This guy is the most beautiful, soulful guitarist in the world -- and there is no one -- jazz, classical or otherwise who comes close to his depth of tenderness and feeling. His touch on the guitar is the equivalent of that of the great jazz pianist Bill Evans' touch on the piano.
This is what art is supposed to be about -- simply wonderful.
No wonder I have no talent!,,,this guy has it all (: Great video.
NCLUSA Everytime another guitarist watches him he sucks out their talent!
Tommy practices 10 hours per day. he created his own talent.
You can clearly see (and hear) Tommy was moved by the gravity of playing his friend and mentor's historic instrument. Beautiful.
I've been around for seven decades, but listening to (and watching) Tommy Emmanuel brings me back to the wonder of being a child: transfixed.
Thank you, Tom, for posting this.

Tommy’s love of music is so apparent when he plays and God has blessed him immensely with such talent.
For my money this is the greatest living guitarist today . Tommy Emmanuel.
If you've never seen Tommy live, do so ASAP. You will not believe your ears or your eyes. He is astounding.
When this guy plays, he makes the world a better place!!!
Beautiful music by one of the most Talented ,Innovative ,and Humble and in my opinion Best Musicians in the World (and songwriter)
I gree with you
I think it's the new one Tommy wrote for his wife "Clara's tune". Beautiful just like she is!! Cheers, Bunny
Thank you. I love this tune! :)
Some of the most beautiful chord changes ever!
Reminded me of why I wanted to play guitar in the first place. What an incredible tone. Brought back lots of memories of listening to Chet when I was a kid back in the 60s.
it's not that tommy loves playing guitar, it's guitars love being played by tommy
Love Tommy..RIP CHET ATKINS & PHIL EMMANUEL🙏🙏🙏
My wife and I were lucky enough to sit in the front row for this event, amazing venue in the CMHOF - as always Tommy was amazing and gracious. I'll also say that I was BLOWN AWAY by the excellence of Joe Robinson, he's a stellar player, and you can see how his relationship with Tommy has impacted him....LOVED those guitars too :)
There are some songs that capture nuances in life that can’t be put into words. This is one of those songs. ❤
Tommy, I was raised up in music. I've been around so many players. But when you play it just carries me away. You are such a great player. Your true personality comes thru in your playing. Your brother Phil was a great player himself. He was such a loss.
Tommy can rock the house, but he can also play slow with feeling: magic!
I love this man,his guitar playing rates A++++ and his soft spoken voice just makes me want to listen to him speak and play for hours.
This fella makes us proud as Australians!! God bless you Tommy.
Someone said that this man is the best guitar player in the World, I can't argue with that. It's like he's part of the guitar.
Tommy, there are no words. Thank you!!!
those who disliked this video are probably fans of boybands
I reckon your right Eric ,but I can't understand 315 dislikes, obviously no understanding of what Tommy was talking about! No appreciation of the music or the guitar or the venue itself !!We saw Tommy in South Headland,West Oz,he's an Aussie Legend maate!
@ Eric Polo ... Either Boyband fans or fans of the rapid Chug Chug of death metal. Lol. Tommy is the man! He does what most others wish they could do on a guitar.
It doesn't get any better than Tommy on a Gretsch!
How does this guy play like this? I guess the short answer is,practice, practice, practice! God broke him off something extra,I'll tell you! He's a master! I could listen to him all day!
That is a virtuosity beyond measure.
OMG , that was so beautiful I can hardly stand it. I'm awestruck. Tommy plays with incredible emotion, and tenderness, like the guitar is a part of his soul. I have to keep telling myself, "It's just a piece of wood." Tommy makes the guitar alive. AMAZING MUSICIAN!!
I’m especially impressed by Tommy’s play with great respect to Chet. Thanks so much. 😂
An Aussie friend introduced me to Tommy Emmanuel 6 or 8 years ago, since then I have become a huge fan of his finger-picking guitar playing. Chet's legacy is in great hands, Tommy is the real deal.Peace,Jim
Tommy Emmanuel CGP, no less.
Very sad ! Very beautiful! Tear! RIP Chet Atkins 🙏
Every time I listen this song it brings tears to my eyes. I'm going to see Tommy on Saturday 12-7-19. I better bring along a lot of Kleenex tissue.
Now that was truly magical. Tommy E.is a truly gifted musician.
A masterful performance. Few players alive put such soul into their playing. Wonderful.
So beautiful. It moved me to tears
Couldn’t have picked a better guy for the tribute
Shivers down my spine and a lump in my throat. Respect.
Tommy Emmanuel, God bless you!!! Absolutely beautiful! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🙏🏼
Oh boy was that beautiful. That Tommy Emmanuel sure can play. Lovely tribute to Chet, one of my all time favorite musicians.
for me there is time before knowing Tommy existed and after....if you don't know Tommy , .research him, he's in class by himself , same for Chet . just so sublime to hear .thankyou so much
brings tears when I hear that, even for the 29th time.
How can anyone vote this video down? The history and the beautiful music are so classic of Tommy.... what a class act.
one of the best guitar players in the world
As soft as a zephyr across the trackless span of a contented soul, as sweet as her quiet laughing eyes, and as memorable as a gift from the heart, many thanks for sharing the sounds of musical magic that can only come from wisdom and love.
Nice, but I would say that God is the true source of both wisdom and love, anything less than Him just falls short.
Beautiful words, captures the soul of the piece.
Tommy Emmanuel is one of the very few guitarist who are able to play every single piece they play with their full dedication...it's like a fusion with the guitar. He is able to go straight to the heart of people and it feels like our very soul is hit by his heavenly touch and always a tempo playing. This guy is a legend.
Time stood still for me.....sublime.
Chet Atkins My Hero!!!! RIP
Person like him .....born in ages...musically gifted...and what a beautiful and humble he is....Lucky to even listening him
That was special 😍
In a league all by himself!
Tommy is fantastic.I can't believe more people don't know of him.
Thank God I found him about 6 months ago
I'm usually quite happy when the audience is large but not hyper-huge. I feel the same about Rory Gallagher, John Martyn, Nick Drake, and a whole load more. Recognition by those who really appreciate rather than the hyped up idolatry that is the ruin of a lot of talents. Keeps it real, to use a hackneyed phrase ... but this time a hear-felt one .
How could over 400 "individuals" give this a thumbs down?
Bunch of grouches, probably......
@@fdcentrella0069 they're related to helen keller
Sounds like three guitars playing ,incredible
Maybe a new one of Tommy? I'm always stunned and my jaw is down when I hear a new song of him, and so I've been now!
So beautiful. Chet collaborated with and greatly admired Tommy Emmanuel. If you want to hear
two guitar icons jamming and joking as they do it, try and find the album, "Chester and Lester."
Chet and Les Paul doin' their thing.
larry geetar: You are so right. I've known that album since it was new, and to this day I still marvel at their playing.
Saw Tommy in ‘08 in San Diego. We were not disappointed.
Wow!!! That is just a simply amazing sound from the guitar
Oh my, sooth my beating heart...
I would love to have that Vibro King.......
Tommy Is the epitome of CGP. It was nice of him to hold back a little. I’d hate to follow Tommy.
Yes, indeed... Thanks, Tommy. As always, Bloody Fantastic!
Really felt the emotion.... the chord changes the melody and finally his playing.... beautiful
Such a classy guy
We were present for this performance at the Country Music Hall of fame
I have an unbelievable crush on this amazing fellow🌹 Saw him in Nashville, will never get over him😍
Tommys music and playing never fail to move me!
As always, Outstanding!!
Such a beautiful melody. Wonderful guitarist and very moving seeing him play Chet's iconic Gretsch.
So very incredible! Tommy is just, WOW
Tommy, no matter what you are truly awesome, a gift of music from your immense talent. Thanks, my whole world stopped while I listened.
Beautifully played Tommy - iconic instrument
The best guitarist ever.
True.
Chet might agree.
Awesome. Prototypes usually do not have the kinks worked out, they are rough, but Tommy played it like it was his own. Amazing musician.
Like Chet was known to say "it ain't the arrow, its the indian"
Another side of Emmanuel that we rarely see. Amazing
tommy looks SO happy to play chet's guitar ( who inspired him to play guitar )
That was a really beautiful song Tommy Emmanuel
So beatiful, Thank you Tommy, you are my hero. I set with my guitar to learn it, a great fun.
What a beautiful piece
Nice to hear a spacious song like this that really lets the guitar’s tone come across
Tommy ur playin is undoubtedly best
From Chet Tommy has learned well superb touch is everything. Not withstanding your guitar vocabulary if you have a touch like that you can really impress everyone.
Not to mention it’s a beautiful composition. As a brilliant as his playing is, many of his original pieces are dazzling. His music will be played by guitarists long into the future.
That's what they said about Buddy Holly. Sadly most people today have never heard of Chet Atkins or his music. And these same people listen to the trash of today passing itself off as music. Only the fortunate few like us that care about music - REAL music will ever know the glory of it.
Sounds lovely. Thanks.
Like a dream
I am now 100% sure that tommy Emmanuel is the greatest Guitar player of all time! No one can or in my opinion will ever equal him! Just mesmerising!
How does one learn to play , even half this good? I really want to know! Anyone ?
Here’s my ideas ...
That’s it
How do you get to Carnegie Hall?? Practice.
just finished listening , and don't know what to say...i was in another world!!!
Tommy Emmanuel is a gift from God.
GORGEOUS!! Lenny Breaux lives! As well as Chet!
Brian Lee ::::::::::>>>>>>>> Did you know Lenny Breau lived in Winnipeg in the late 1960’s.
absolutely beautiful
That guitars tone is instantly recognizable. Sounds just as good as it did in the 50s.
That was one of the most beautiful guitar I have ever heard!!!!!Just amazing!!!!!!I am a guitarist, and happy that there are incredible players like this to inspire!!!Thank you Tommy.
When two Icons meet, magic happens!
Tommy is the best!
Hearing is believing ))
wonderful
I think I'm responsible for most of the views of this video
It's just so wonderful to see the spirit of Chet Atkins burn bright in Tommy Emmanuel. He is a true master!
Beautiful and soothing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent
