I've seen most interviews with Tommy. They all have a kind of script with the same jokes and stories. This is by far the most spontaneous interview and I loved it. Thanks
I'm with you. By now I could stand in for Tommy in most interviews and give the answers for him. But every once in a while something special comes along, like this one. And like the one with Hallerin Hilton Hill, see the links in my other comment. It basically went unnoticed (~6k views in over 3 years), so I am promoting it here since everybody interested in Tommy should see it.
@@justarandomdude52 Thanks for the nuance. Reading back my comment, I realized that the second sentence is bit disrespectful which I didn't meant to be.
Wow Tim, I have tears in my eyes and a chill down my spine. I'm so happy you got to meet Tommy and he validated that you are a great guitar player too. Well done.
It's clear from the first minute that it's a dream comes true moment for Tim, and that makes it so perfect. Wonderful to see that from the first minute you two speak the same language. Great interview!
Can you believe this is the third time I've met him, and the 3rd time I forgot to ask? 🤯 I'm always so caught up in the moment I simple don't think about it!
Tim, congrats for landing this amazing opportunity. Tommy, you are an absolute inspiration and a true gentleman: humble and genuine. I am honored to be learning your technique and better off in life for experiencing your music and strength of character. Blessings to you both!!! Jesse from Canada
Of all the interviews of Tommy, this one should have by far the most views...well done, Tim. And amazing work teaching the songs to people who want to challenge themselves to play them, but without your instructional videos, wouldn't really have a chance. Thanks for your hard work. PS. When, at the end, you were showing him your modifications and Tommy just wanted to play with you it literally brought tears to my eyes. Together, you two sounded so amazing...like a stereo with blossoming overtones...
Holy Sh*t. I highly respect Tommy for telling the reason, why he wasn't in a good shape last year. This, this open talking, this open heard of you, is the reason we all get catched by you!! We Love you Tommy! Plus, Tim: It's so beautiful to see how speechless and not beleaving in what a crazy awesome situation you were, not only in the beginning of this interview, but EVERY Time, Tommy played something. I'm pretty sure, you had to calm down yourself everytime. Hahaha Thanks for this great great Interview!!
Having watched all of your tutorials, I was hoping that one day you would be able to do an interview with Tommy. This is my favourite video of yours now. I got a lesson from Tommy about 40 years ago in the early 1980s, and every time I would see him at gigs and workshops thereafter, he would be the friendliest person to me. His personality hasn't changed in all that time. In years to come, your body of work Tim will be considered masterpieces and will remain timeless. And the contribution you have made to students of Tommy's music is priceless. You've done a wonderful job. Thank you Tim 👍
Blown away by the candor and humanity here. Sure U hit all the guitar stuff... Then on family issues T: "There is nothing I can do to fix it, but there is something I can do to fix me." Such a precious Nugget of wisdom from this man. Thx for sharing, Tommy. THANK YOU both!
Finding your channel elevated my guitar skills to another level INSTANTLY. I learned how to play Tommy's Pink Panther theme even though it sounded way to hard at first - you made it look "doable" somehow. I learned so many new things and techniques from you and it gave me a huge boost in creativity! Thank you for that! :)
Great to hear! Although I've been at it for a year or two now, it stills gives me great satisfaction to hear that people are making good progress through the videos!
It was great!!! Bravo! I had also the pleasure to interview Tommy few years ago for a regional radio station in Basel, he’s a gentleman, impossible not to love him🙏💪.
That ending reminds me of when I had the chance to play a duet backstage with Tony McManus!!...what a great feeling it is to be playing with mentors!!...
What a great interview, I am still a beginner I consider, it is great to see two masters. I never heard of Tommy till I started the guitar. I am so glad I started, I am 62 and two years ago o broke my index finger and I thought playing guitar would make it stronger, I enjoy practicing daily I don’t have a lot of time to but it is something I enjoy, I am a woodturner so I constantly youse my hands, I am so glad I found your channel some time back, you are an excellent teacher and this interview shows you are going a long way just watching watching how humble you are in front of Tommy . Thank you
wow, what a great interview, its refreshing to see someone get as nervous as I do. I was supposed to go see Tommy on April 1st 2020 in Vancouver with my best friend. What an April Fools joke that turned out to be, Covid hit and the show was canceled, then my friend died four months later. I'm hoping to go see Tommy in Sacramento soon.
You are the best ... and if anyone deserves and interview ... it's you!! ... no person on TH-cam has the touch and command of Tommy's tunes like you!! ... CONGRATULATIONS!!
watching tommy on youtube is watching a tribute to hard work and dedication . i cannot even imagine the thousands of hours he trained to become a worldclass guitarist. this is insane. unbelievable
Tim, you mentioned that you hadn't done an interview before - wow...you did an exceptional job with your first one. Really amazing. Well done!! I particularly liked some of the questions you asked Tommy, which were different to what he has usually been asked in his many other interviews over the years. It was a pleasure to watch and he gave a great insight into Tommy the guitarist, musician and person. I've been lucky enough to see Tommy play here in Australia several times, in venues ranging from full concert arenas, to concert halls to small function rooms and he never fails to inspire and impress. Thanks for sharing this interview and well done. Hopefully you will do some more interviews in the future.
Thanks Victor! Tommy always seems to give everything he has. The first time he played a show in Belgium I saw him perform in a venue that could 1200 people, and only 40 attended. It must have been a dreadful sight from the stage, but Tommy just blew through the whole set like a maniac. And now, whenever he plays in Belgium, it's always sold out!
Just keep smiling when I watch the interview. Congratulations Tim and yes I do feel your nerves and I think it’s pretty normal when you sitting and playing with Tommy
Ha. The best part is when Tommy asks you if he's playing it right. What a privilege to see you both together. Interviewing a hero like Tommy as your first interview? Right into hard mode and still pulling it off. Big cheers.
Congrats for landing such an interview, Tim! Really happy for you. And I’m so thankful to hear that Tommy is doing much better now than last year. Prayed for him and all
OMG That was awesome! Your questions were great Tim and Tommy’s answers were so down to earth and interesting. I loved when you both played at the end of the interview. Wow what pressure for you man, but you played so well. I take my hat off to both of you. 🎩 I’m from Australia and have been watching Tommy for at least 30 years, since I was a kid…. I have to tell you he hasn’t changed. He’s so positive and such an inspiration, as you are. Thank you Tim for your tutorials and inspiration. Great interview.
Great interview! Love what Tommy says about players being unique and bringing their own technique to a song. It seems to indicate his own security in who he is as a player and not emphasizing competition. That's true greatness.
Definitely! We shouldn't shy back from doing things "our" way. I can understand purists want it exactly like the original, but that should only matter to them and not to everyone else around them.
@@TimVanRoy step over to the classical guitar world if you want to meet dogmatic purists 🙂. Lovely interview.I saw him live once and he was just good beyond belief . Do you use standard notation for his music ?just came across your channel today . You are an excellent player
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar Hi Alan! Thanks for joining the party here 😜 I use both standard notation and tabs when transcribing Tommy's music. I have a history as a free-lance musician, so I prefer reading/writing notation over tablature!
I hope he played as well as he did here in Belgium. He absolutely killed it on stage. And what an acoustic ambassador you have with Mike Dawes! His set was amazing too!
This was excellent! Congratulations on getting to jam a Tommy Emmanuel tune, with the man himself, and having him tell you that your playing is beautiful
I'm so happy and proud of you Tim!! Excellent interview and Tommy looked like he was having a great time playing with you!! Awesome my friend and very well deserved!!
What a brilliant interview. Tommy is so genuine and giving, and having never seen you before I had no idea you played like that I’m sure you’ll treasure that time with him for the rest of your life. We’ll done sir.
Hey, Tim. I started following your channel when you had few followers and now you are interviewing the great one. More than congratulations, lad! I hope Tommy comes to Brazil as well. Keep Rocking!
It only remains to tell you, thank you very much for sharing this video. I can tell you that it is one of the most emotional interviews I have ever seen, I really loved it. To this day I have not had the opportunity to communicate with him, much less to see him in person, but with this interview, I have felt closer to Tommy Emmanuel, not only as a guitarist, but as a person. Thank you, thank you so much Tim. Greetings from Spain
What a great pleasure to see both of you.....Thank you Tim ....with your this video I've learnt that the effort I invest is still very little ...I enjoyed the whole time .....waiting for the next call ......love from India...god bless
Wow!!! I just enjoyed every moment of this interview. I've seen a lot of Tommy's interview but this one was one of the greatest. You've asked some really good questions rather than asking same questions that almost all interviewers asks when they do an interview with him. You totally nailed it bro. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm going to see Tommy in Perth Scotland next week. Fourth time I've seen him in concert and every time I'm just blown away at how good he is. Can't wait.
I can tell you in advance: he's playing better than ever! He did a version of Doc's Guitar during the concert in Antwerp that was simply amazing. Enjoy the show then!
The best interview with Tommy I ever heard - thanks for that. I am playing guitar since the middle of the 70th and I am still learning. Tommy is one of my ever idols like Leo Kottke on 12-string. Congratulations for your fine job with him!
Tim I just started watching this...so far great. I am happy for you. I believe you got this interview because of the integrity you showed in taking down videos with tabs etc. I have met Tommy three times and it is clear that he is a man of integrity kindness and generosity. He sees that in you. He also sees you as anotger "Man with the Green Thumb" you are a torch passer and you are humble. Congratulations and I cannot wait to watch the rest! Jeff
This was an outstanding interview, Tim! Tommy is so humble… I love him as a Guitar player and as a person! I just subscribed to your channel today, August 25th, 2024 here in Denver, Colorado. Looking forward to all that I will learn from you, and so happy that you got that interview with Tommy!
Thanks so much for sharing . Learned so much from Mr. Emmanuel . He is a kind and down-to-earth person . So nice to watch . You are a very good guitar player Mr. Van Roy . You help other guitarists so much in your tutorials . God bless you & family . Question: what is the piece he played at 19:10 ?
I KNEW this day would come!! I even commented it would many months ago! It was nice to see Tommy bring the real you out Tim! Brought tears to my eyes!!
Thanks Philip! A lot of people were rooting on this ever happening, I just never imagined it would be so soon (and that Tommy would be the one insisting on us meeting up)!
Tommy has time for people who recognise his gifting, and want to draw on that. It's called impartation. As he says, its his calling, and he doesn't know how it happens to the audience, but he knows that it does. Powerful stuff.
Hello Tim. Fantastic interview! Tommy is so humble and kind. Not only is he a phenomenal Guitarist, he is a good Man. So kind! I am Doug from Denver… Just Subscribed. Looking forward to learning here at your site! Thank you!
I discovered your channel thanks to this interview and, after many years that I haven't been playing TE's songs, I suddenly got the urge to go back to them and improve them! Thank you :)
Thank you both. I've seen Tommy for the first time in my life today at Cardiff st.davids hall and it's going to be unforgettable experience. I wish i have a chance to talk to Tommy personally but it's difficult as he gets busy and I respect that. he influence me by his immortal life energy he passing through his music.thanks Tim for your work.you both are amazing.thank you...
It was a great interview! Tommy's compliments on your videos is also very nice to hear! Finally, congratulations for the piece you played for Tommy at the end ! If it had been me, I must admit that I would have been so stressed that I would not have been able to play a note!

The best TE interviews are with him talking without guitar in his hands somehow. He says a little different things then.
absolutely
I agree. It's great man. You are a great player too Tim
Tim meeting Tommy is like Tommy meeting Chet ! Thank you both for great insight and beautiful music
Wow Tim, I have tears in my eyes and a chill down my spine. I'm so happy you got to meet Tommy and he validated that you are a great guitar player too. Well done.
Thanks Stephen! It was an incredible experience sitting down with Tommy, no matter how nervous I was. Those compliments really mean something to me...
It's clear from the first minute that it's a dream comes true moment for Tim, and that makes it so perfect.
Wonderful to see that from the first minute you two speak the same language.
Great interview!
I was tearing and smiling when you two played together at the end. Hope to see Tommy's autograph on your guitar in future tutorials 👍👍
Can you believe this is the third time I've met him, and the 3rd time I forgot to ask? 🤯 I'm always so caught up in the moment I simple don't think about it!
@@TimVanRoy da's een beetje shitty :))
Oh my goodness, that duet at the end gave me chills
This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Tommy! Thanks 👍👍👍
Tim, congrats for landing this amazing opportunity. Tommy, you are an absolute inspiration and a true gentleman: humble and genuine. I am honored to be learning your technique and better off in life for experiencing your music and strength of character.

Thanks Chiel! It really warms my heart to see how well this interview is landing with people. Tommy truly is the best!

Thanks so much for sharing . Learned so much from Mr. Emmanuel . He is a kind and down-to-earth person . So nice to watch . You are a very good guitar player Mr. Van Roy . You help other guitarists so much in your tutorials . God bless you & family . Question: what is the piece he played at 19:10 ?
I KNEW this day would come!! I even commented it would many months ago! It was nice to see Tommy bring the real you out Tim! Brought tears to my eyes!!
Thanks Philip! A lot of people were rooting on this ever happening, I just never imagined it would be so soon (and that Tommy would be the one insisting on us meeting up)!
This is great Tim. The fact you have no interview experience only made this more enjoyable to watch in my opinion. Thanks!
Fabulous interview. That was Tommy Emmanuel totally relaxed, just being himself. Thank you.
Nice spontaneous chat with Tommy, he really is special Thanks for sharing 🙏
He sure is! Thanks for watching!
OMG Tim, exellent interview.Thanks to you and Tommy!
Tommy has time for people who recognise his gifting, and want to draw on that. It's called impartation. As he says, its his calling, and he doesn't know how it happens to the audience, but he knows that it does. Powerful stuff.
That’s what music is about. Truly two masters of their art!
What a great interview! Thank you both!
Love the interview. I am very happy for you. Been a fan of your channel since the start. Great to see you get some recognition by the master
Hello Tim. Fantastic interview! Tommy is so humble and kind. Not only is he a phenomenal Guitarist, he is a good Man. So kind!

Amazing! You are an example to all of us, that dreams are made to come true! Really happy for you!
Thanks Agustin! This really was an expected treat! Tommy didn't have to do this at all and he still came through big time...
Thank you both. I've seen Tommy for the first time in my life today at Cardiff st.davids hall and it's going to be unforgettable experience. I wish i have a chance to talk to Tommy personally but it's difficult as he gets busy and I respect that. he influence me by his immortal life energy he passing through his music.thanks Tim for your work.you both are amazing.thank you...

Always a pleasure watching Tommy interviews, and you Tim, did a great job !!!
It was a great interview! Tommy's compliments on your videos is also very nice to hear! Finally, congratulations for the piece you played for Tommy at the end ! If it had been me, I must admit that I would have been so stressed that I would not have been able to play a note!
