Threw all my guitars in the river after watching this.

[@setonhillstudios]

Dude is insane!!!

[@jono.pom-downunder]

Check out Tommy and brother Phil, dueling or 4 hands one guitar it will blow your mind

[@goannaj3243]

1:28 he looks at his guitar like, I love you but this will hurt in the morning.

[@setonhillstudios]

🤣😂🤣

I enjoyed your reaction ver much. I love Tommy and have had the privilege and pleasure of seeing him 3 times so far, the last time just a few months ago. He is a top tier premier acoustic guitar player on the planet and is a stellar human being to boot! I love how much pleasure he gets from making his music and I will always be here for it. Thanks💯🎸🎶

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh wow! So cool! Yeah he is such an amazing player and I learn something new from him every time I hear him play! Thanks for stopping by! 😁

Tommy has reached the point of complete, total mastery of the instrument. In martial arts this is called “transcending technique”. Notice how completely relaxed he is. Most people trying this kind of hyper-technical playing will be so intense and focused you can see it in their body and face. Tommy is so freaking relaxed you think he could do this while reading the newspaper. Also watch his thumb during the transition to Saturday Night at 6:30. He moves the chord shape up and down two frets without moving his thumb. He’s said in interviews that his thumb is permanently dislocated as a result and that the only reason he’s able to do this is because of the dislocation.

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s crazy about his thumb! He’s definitely hit point of transcending technique, everything looks so effortless!

[@hankhank5370]

I guess you didn't notice, but he threw to other song snippets in the middle of this performance. "Walk Don't Run" by the Ventures and "Saturday's Alright for Fighting" by Elton John.

[@setonhillstudios]

No I must have missed that! Definitely have to go back and check that out! Thanks!

By the age of six, he was a working professional musician. Recognizing the musical talents of Emmanuel and his older brother, Phil, their father created a family band, sold their home, and took his family on the road. With the family living in two station wagons, much of Emmanuel's childhood was spent touring 🇦🇺

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s so wild! Thanks for the backstory!

[@jono.pom-downunder]

@@setonhillstudios bloody talented family I hate them, 😂😂😂

🤣🤣 Right!?!?

@@setonhillstudiosFor more information about the history of the Emmanuel family, please check out “Tommy Emmanuel - This Is Your Life”. It’s not too long but there’s some footage of when he and his siblings were very young. He’s also a percussionist (which you may have already guessed). His late brother Phil was amazing on electric guitar. Sadly, he died of an asthma attack. Tommy also featured in the documentary “John Farnham: Finding The Voice”. He was an early member of John’s band which also included Brett Garsed and the late Stuart Fraser, both fantastic guitarists. They were with John for many years and Brett has made a YT homage to Stuart. They and the rest of the band feature in solos along with John Farnham singing “That’s What Love Will Make You Do”. It’s one of the best concert performances you’ll ever see! All the best from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺!

Great analysis. Great guitar playing. Thanks to you both - made my day.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@noelanderson8915]

I was fortunate to see Tommy play live many moons ago, Once at the Kuranda Amphitheatre in the Kuranda rainforest with his back-up artist being the King of the Dig David Hudson. Second time was at the Cairns Civic Centre. Kuranda is up in the mountains behind Cairns and had quite a hippy population back then. It will come no surprise that there was a strange sweet-smelling odour in the air that night. You should also check out a Duet with his Brother Phil, another great guitarist. I agree with you when you say Tommy always looks like he's enjoying himself because he is. Thanks for the reaction, I do have a couple of Tommy's Cds and also one David's callled Digitralia.

[@setonhillstudios]

Wow! Thats awesome and thanks for sharing! He is such a phenomenal player that always amazes me!

[@charleshenry338]

Harmonic Shift? He went straight into a different GENRE1 CHICAGO Saturday1

[@setonhillstudios]

Haha 🤣😂 Fair point! Such a beast!

[@erickuritsky4087]

Really enjoyed your review, unlike another utube reviewer who thinks he has to impress us by reciting each chord verbally.

[@setonhillstudios]

Glad you enjoyed it! There’s so many people out there doing it, you’re guaranteed to find somebody that ya like!

[@yambo59]

the song was originally written by Mason Williams, Tommys version is better IMO

[@setonhillstudios]

Gotcha, I’ve never heard the original but man this one blew me away!

[@newnoggin2]

Mason Williams ' version uses an orchestra and is great but different.

[@setonhillstudios]

Ah ok, I haven’t heard it but I’ll have to look into it!
