Thats so nice Last night i dreamed that i met him and that he gave ma an autogram, but it was only a dream haha Do you play the guitar aswell or you just like listening to it ?
@@takavaka758 i hope can come over and visit him, may Lord grant me my prayer. Let's together bring this beautiful melody and share around the world, inspire us to go and love every human mankind.
I have a good friend named Angelina, and I played this for her right after I learned it. She has cancer, and things can look rough sometimes. She’s non-responsive, so I just go over and play for her sometimes and hope she enjoys it. This one gets to me though because she’s so strong. Warms hearts in both the player and the listener. Thanks for letting me spread the love through music Mr. Emmanuel!
Update: Forgot I made this comment years back, Angelina passed away in January of 2021, I played this song one last time for her at her funeral. That May, I had the opportunity of meeting Tommy and got to personally thank him for the impact he had on myself and that family.
@@TheRealWallrus_ I whish the best to you and your family Chris, my mother has cancer and she is non-responsive for a couple of months now. I play the guitar for her everyday, your comment hit close to home for me. Have a wonderful 2023
I think to a great degree it is from a person who has grown up listening to one type of "music" and they've never learned to appreciate true music and musical talent. This is not like the very limited range of "music" they listen to so they don"t like it and feel the need to let everyone else know. They are stunted in their musical knowledge and growth.
I like this song very much, but as soon as someone describes a song as "true music" and starts to compare as if they're better than anyone else, it pisses me off.
I'm grateful I have my 2 ears working just fine so I can enjoy that masterpiece of music... I'm a musician too, a pianist, and I know for a fact the joy some ppl can bring to others simply by performing what they are good at! May your music never fade away
@@javiermarco5056 correct😄. Mona Lisa was composed by Jay Livingstone and originally sung by Nat King Cole. Angelina is the name of one of Tommy’s daughters and was written as a tribute to her👍🏻. It is his guitar arrangement that I was referring to 😄
I have to say Tommy Emmanuel is without a doubt my most favorite guitarist. I've seen and met Richard Thompson and Phil Keaggy and have always held them in high esteem but Tommy is without a doubt my most favorite guitarist. I am often moved to tears listening to his beautiful music and anything that touches my soul that deeply is nothing short of divine! Thank You Tommy Emmanuel for all the years of beautiful music and your kind generous heart. We do love you!!!
Tommy is one of my favorites, but I argue that there are close seconds. Here's one that imo is every bit as good as Tommy. th-cam.com/video/go9c7SaxUH4/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUOc2hlIGFuZHkgbWNrZWU%3D
Seeing him play makes me wanna cry. I can't never get close to this kind of ability. Perfect. Every note crisp and beautiful. So many hammer ons and slides! Wow. Just wow! *-* Learning this song! Simply amazing
Met Tommy several times. Seen him play more...even a 3 day concert cruise. Nicest guy you could ever meet. On the seventh day God rested...and said "Let the Earth bring forth music. Later came Chopin. Beethoven and Emmanuel.
Yes the basic chords of the song are beautiful but for weeks I have been perfecting the 'background' notes that he plays and other touches he makes. there are so many extra dynamics, stresses and sustained notes that are required to play this piece well.
+Timotej P. keep pushing. It will be worth it. It took me a week to get everything right. I love it so much i cant get tired of playing it. Great tune tommy.
+Timotej P. I know exactly what you mean. I been learning Angelina as well. Fortunately, it's an eloquent melody I never tire of listening to. Quite an exercise physically though, ain't it.
I am sure that more accomplished musicians than myself could dissect this song and the notes played in it. They could tell you the keys and the scales... I can't tell you that. but, I can tell you this song makes me feel good in my soul... and just maybe that's the point of music.
Fun fact, Tommy doesn't read or write music. He knows all the chords and all the notes by heart, and how to use them. But none of the formality, just the soul.
@@monkeseeaction21987 In other words he simply doesn't rely on formal notation, in his world he doesn't need it. He certainly knows exactly what he is doing however.
I'm always blown away by the really fast and virtuose playing from Tommy. He's one of the best out there, but this song always goes straight to my heart. The calm pace, the beautiful progression and just enough licks 'n tricks to keep it grounded. Awesome!
Good gawd, how am I just NOW hearing this song?? Yet another reason to sell my guitar and take up knitting or something. Mannnn, he makes it look SO effortless.
Saw Tommy live in new Brighton pavilion a few years ago..truly amazing talent and he played somewhere over the rainbow which made my night.Tommy is a dying breed we should cherish him and his god given ability.Thanks for a brilliant night cobber..
Have to add one more thing. If you see Tommy live, best be prepared for the most wall-to-wall, treetop tall thunderous acoustic guitar mix you're ever likely to hear. He's got pickups inside, outside, sideways, all the ways... really hard to describe the bass, the fullness... his live sound is INCREDIBLE. And he's a pretty good player too, ha. This video has a great mic'd guitar sound, but to hear this through his multi-wired live setup... itz CRAY CRAY
If you are an exceptional guitar player...this is how you showcase your skills. Not beating and banging all over the damn thing to the point that any sort of song or arrangement is unrecognizable. Quality over quantity.
may God bless you for your Heart,Humor and Humility.... last may 7th I came to your concert in Bologna(Teatro Duse)..I took a train from my town to be there,..I had high fever but I came the same,...and for the two hours concert I felt completely recovered by the power of your music...I hope you felt how much the audience there loved you that night!! what to say more....I am just waiting for your next concerts in Italy.Love..Valerio
Nobody and I mean there is no other acoustic guitarist in the world today who can express a song on this instument with such clarity emotion and unbelivable fluency as Tommy Tommy you are a treasure to my beloved Australia and also to the world
It's one of my most favored compositions by Tommy. I've been watching Tommy for about half a year since I bought myself a beautiful new guitar. And that after about 30 years without guitars! Tommy is a genius of emotion which he conveys brilliantly with such power and genuine love. This piece nearly drives me crazy and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Tommy is such an inspiration to millions (?) of music/guitar lovers out there in the world. Love and respect.
Having played guitar now over 50 years I have to say Tommy is simply on another level then virtually ANY guitarist out there. More like from another universe
Just started two days ago with practicing this song on my guitar. It's so beautiful. That being sad. I discovered that tommy has the most agile fingers ever. I'm taking yoga lessons for just my fingers now. It's ridiculous.
Took me weeks to learn and record this tune - and he just slightly modifies every little part so perfectly and effortlessly, giving a whole new character to the track, ugh. So good.
..... WEEKS ??? You Bragging , or Complaining ?? .... Many of us have an ongoing and endless task seeking to catch some small nuance of his performance.
Beautiful ! I use to listen to my grandpa play his 1956 Gibson byrdland through a fender twin amp, He loved to play chet atkins songs. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful music.
It just doesn’t get any better. The harmonics at the tag are enough to put ur guitar back in the case . Ps. Thanks for the perfect shot to let us mortals learn from.
Tu vois, j'étais ce matin dans une grande contrariété, et de lire ton message en écoutant cette guitare, c'est étrange mais ça m'a soulagé d'un seul coup. Nous ne nous recontrerons jamais, mais qui que tu sois, je te remercie.
I´m a rocker/metalhead, but I love your playing! I know you can be extremely fast and technical, but most of all I love the more relaxed, low/mid-tempo songs from your catalogue. This one´s a great example - and those harmonics towards the end, they are just golden! :)
I was in the same class in college as his daughter, Angelina. He came in to give us a little show. Was fantastic to see live
Thats so nice
Last night i dreamed that i met him and that he gave ma an autogram, but it was only a dream haha

1. It's so amazing
2. My name's Angelina

He plays with his soul, hart and a faboulus style!
balls
I live in New Zealand and if you were still in Australia I would swim the ditch to see you play.
The way he just looks at the camera and nodds at the end... He knows how beautiful it sounded.
One of the living legend#fingerpicking
1:25-1:30 is possibly the best thing written on acoustic guitar ever. Genius
Agreed. I get chills hearing it
As long as Musicians like Tomy exist, there is Hope ..
Its crazy, the guitar sings in this song. No joke.
Such a beautiful song. That is the music embodiment of a father's love for his daughter.
This guy the best acoustic guitar player. There's not even a close second. This guy Is Awesome
Yep. Pretty much. Chet Atkins said the same thing.

yes u can dude. just practice a lot
don't say that! no one is born with skill. You must practice, and if you have passion to guide you, you will want to practice
my new wife came down the aisle to this on Monday played on the piano by a good friend. was the perfect song thank you.

Thank you Tommy to bring the best of you to the world. I feel privileged to be able to listen to you and your songs.
Wish I had this kind father.
