As a guitar player myself I've perfected 'The Hunt' and I'd like to share my method with you ........ 1) Pick up guitar 2) Press 'play' on this video 3) Watch Tommy for a few seconds 4) Put down guitar, turn up the volume on video, watch and marvel 5) Give up any hope Hope this helps!
My guitar just stared at me and we both sat in silence just marveled at the skill and technique of Tommy Emmanuel , it’s safe to say my guitar will leave me at the end of this video 🤧
There´s somebody in every art, who is the best (most skill, soul, feeling, credibilty etc.) If we talk about guitarplaying, we definetly talk only about Tommy Emmanuel.
This song is essentially Emmanuel. It has everything in it I love about this guy: the virtuosity, the feeling, the incredible ENERGY he puts into his playing... Just fantastic!
Marvelous , I love this concert so much, it´s one of the most incredible performances ever in history. What always amazes me is that crescendo that he does on 2:53. That´s is even harder to do that to play at this tempo. Dynamics make the difference.
@newnoggin2 What? O,o Hendrix was THE pioneer whose influence you'll hear in every virtuoso nowadays. Clapton was great in his own way. Why can't you just apreciate Emmanuel and the others, too, without having to bash others simply 'cause you're so narrow minded you can't consider them good too?
Yeah, I just recently discovered Tommy for myself. Now I have no desire to listen to any other guitar player. Eric Who? Listen to Claptons version of Over the Rainbow. It's laughable.
@InFernO954, don't give up, that would make Tommy sad. Just smile, and have that much fun, no matter how bad you think you sound. (I sound worse than you two added together).
@newnoggin2 u r right bro they all suck compared to tommy.....malmsteen fastest picker my ass :D I bet if satriani watched Tommy he would quit guitar forever :D
AGREED!!! I'll ,still to this day, rave about how Tommy Emmanuel's show was the BEST show I've ever been to, and his playing has changed my musical life forever.
Yeah, I just recently discovered Tommy for myself. Now I have no desire to listen to any other guitar player. Eric who? Jimi what? Listen to Claptons version of Over the Rainbow. It's laughable after you''ve heard Tommy's version.
Well Clapton, Hendrix and Emmanuel are essentially all blues guitarists. And if theres 1 style of music where competition and comparison have no place its the blues.
@newnoggin2 Because they are? Just because they're not super virtuoso talents by todays standards doesn't mean they weren't incredibly innovative, skilled, and deserving of the respect they got.
- best standard guitar : Chet Atkins. - best Fingerstyle guitar : michael hedges - living legend Fingerstyle guitar : Pierre Bensusan - best 12 String Fingerstyle Guitar : Leo Kottke - best Jazz Fingerstyle guitar : Martin Taylor - best popularity Fingerstyle guitar : Tommy Emmanual - best Fingerstyle guitar (woman) : Muriel Anderson - best Young Fingerstyle guitar : Sungha Jung - Elementary level beginner Fingerstyle guitar : igor
@aslanarkungpapoker Yeah -- and I hope he stays for a long while. Tommy 's playing is inspirational -- kind of like seeing what's possible on the guitar. When is he going to get with Bireli? There's a great video of Tommy with Frank Vignola . .
Oh he's fucking good. Way better than me anyways lol. Trust me though it takes a lot for me to say anyone is as good as Tommy Emmanuel, but I just have to be fair and give the benefit of the doubt. Cause to be honest I seriously believe NO ONE is as good as Tommy. You have Clapton, Jimmy Page, Slash, Hendrix, (insert generic guitar player) they are all over rated IMO, but like I said I have to give the benefit of the doubt.
@SuperDanteng His "left' hand...think how strong it must be to play all of those chords. Does this guy play with very light action? What gage strings does he use?
yess!!! he played this song in his live performance :D unfortunately, the entire evening, whenever he started playing loud, the sound was so ******* up that we could barely hear anything... i seemed to be the only onewith this problem tho, because tommy seemed like he heard no problems :/
it seems like everyday I'm saying "I will not be able to die peacefully until I can play that song" .... I now know why God put me on this earth .... to watch this video and give up guitar forever lol
Yeah, it's a shame more people haven't heard of Tommy. All those guitar players are really good, but people seem to make them more than what they are. Tommy, on the other hand, is just the best. There is no greatest guitarist, but nobody's better than Tommy Emmanuel
@c7rky He probably commits idolatry, bowing down to the work of his own hands, Thinking, "I must be some kind of bad ass omnipotent deity to create THIS guy !!
well there's always kotaro oshio and sungha jung. xD i knew sungha jung but wasn't interested in the guitar itself back then, but later i learned 'twilight' by kotaro oshio and boom, a whole new world. xD
tommy was in Lithuania 4 months ago.... he beat metallica xD jesus, he's just amazing ad a really warm person, got the chance to meet him :) Rock'n'roll tommy!
Same here. I saw him last year and it was incredible. I'm going to see him again this October and can't wait. He is truly one of my musical inspirations and one of the main reasons I play finger style guitar. He just has that effect on people!
@newnoggin2 Apples n oranges... Mr.Emmanuel is brilliant and one of my favorites, but folks like Hendrix were playing and braking ground on electric guitar 45 years ago. As a decent guitarist myself they are 2 totally different animals. Tommy does rock tho... wow!
Hendrix was a great musician but not a great guitar player. I can play his stuff, but not Tommy's. There are many that can play Hendrix. It is not apples and oranges. It is a huge gap in ability. There is no argument about their skills. Tommy could play his but not vice versa, Not even close.

I don't care who greater, great, greatest...or whatever. i just love this, and love Tommy's playing.
There´s somebody in every art, who is the best (most skill, soul, feeling, credibilty etc.)
If we talk about guitarplaying, we definetly talk only about Tommy Emmanuel.
This song is essentially Emmanuel. It has everything in it I love about this guy: the virtuosity, the feeling, the incredible ENERGY he puts into his playing... Just fantastic!
The best acoustic guitar player ever
Marvelous , I love this concert so much, it´s one of the most incredible performances ever in history. What always amazes me is that crescendo that he does on 2:53. That´s is even harder to do that to play at this tempo. Dynamics make the difference.
God created the guitar so this man could play it. I play also but in a hundred lifetimes I couldn't get close to his ability and passion. Wow
Great hair though
すごい という言葉しかでてこない！！
L'un des deux hommes grâce auxquels je joue de la guitare depuis 3 ans... MERCI!!!!
Not only is he an amazing guitar player, he is also a fantastic showman. Love it!
Srv electric guitar and tommy acustic, the best of the best

@JimmyDeLocke
That's not true because Gob don't exist. Tommy just sold his soul to Satan and got gnarly guitar playing skills.
@md75yt38 Hendrix not a musician ? You obviously know very much about him, or lacks a lot of everything, don't know.
This is not human.
This is extra terrestrial.
So there is life from Mars at last ;-)....
3 people just quit playing the guitar
me, trying to learn this song would take me the number of views this vid has
Slash is one of the most overrated guitar players of all time. He's not nearly as good as people say.
Uh, someone remind me why people call Clapton, Hendrix, Etc. great players. I can't remember.
Absolutely wonderful! He has such fun, and it's completely contagious!
Yes!!!! Yes!!! perfect performance!!!!!!!!
AGREED!!! I'll ,still to this day, rave about how Tommy Emmanuel's show was the BEST show I've ever been to, and his playing has changed my musical life forever.
new fav tune of him? yess!!
@123si4 hahah well in minute 0:34 he plays a extra note
@saturnx1666 that joke is not old :)
I can't really believe that this video has people who disliked it.........I mean, come on guys SERIOUSLY??🙄🙄🙄
Gotta love that hair action !!
awesome.. talent at its best
do we have a vegetarian here?
Yeah, I just recently discovered Tommy for myself. Now I have no desire to listen to any other guitar player. Eric who? Jimi what? Listen to Claptons version of Over the Rainbow. It's laughable after you''ve heard Tommy's version.
thats what she said
I love how he plays with such formidable speed, and yet he doesn't make any wasteful move.
pretty much the only way to do it actually

@aslanarkungpapoker Yeah -- and I hope he stays for a long while.

I see it, i hear it, but i cant believe it - impossible playing. no words for that ...
@SuperDanteng His "left' hand...think how strong it must be to play all of those chords. Does this guy play with very light action? What gage strings does he use?
this song is pretty fast paced, not many could prob maintain the correct rhytem... same with "tall fiddler". he plays that even faster!
yess!!! he played this song in his live performance :D unfortunately, the entire evening, whenever he started playing loud, the sound was so ******* up that we could barely hear anything... i seemed to be the only onewith this problem tho, because tommy seemed like he heard no problems :/

@samisyosam I'm surprised god's girlfriend hasn't already gotten on his case about that . . .
@Jerkoffkid It was a metaphor -- I wasn't referring to any particular anthropomorphic diety.
@MrHahn94 went to a concert 10 years ago, in marseille, france, where tommy did 1st part for satriani.. you gotta have the guts to play after him^^
just love his foot tapping. If his socks were white the foot would steal the show
@newnoggin2 apples and oranges, my friend. Also, can Emmanuel play in a band?
Trust I have to swallow a lot of pride to make that comment lol. I seriously think Tommy is superior but...
@RANussbaum he wasn't actually hiding...he's known worldwide since the late 70's
@Serpent1991 Heh, you want him to do those things in that order ? Silly comment.
0:33 0:51 1:49 1:52
Oh Tommy,
on March the 21st I will be at your concert in Munich.
Hope some people will join.
I'm fascinated since Center Stage...
He is definitely niche, but I'm starting to think if anyone knows anything about finger style it's because of TE lol.
Ask Slash ........ I'm quite sure what he will answer! But not what you're proposing. :)
1:05 so lovely
Sungha definitely. I've never heard of Kotaro but I guess it's just another person I need to check out. I'm sure I would enjoy his music.
Same here. I saw him last year and it was incredible. I'm going to see him again this October and can't wait. He is truly one of my musical inspirations and one of the main reasons I play finger style guitar. He just has that effect on people!
One day God got a little bored and said, "I thnk I'll go down to earth for a while and be a guitar player"
Best Classical guitar - John Williams, another Aussie (not the 'Star Wars' one)
Truly amazing
@spacemahem that is one of the best comments ive ever seen on TH-cam
this i my favourite song ever on guitar i always watch other guitar performances but i always go back to this one video and am amazed every time.
the same is bad. Sungha like and understand Tommy's music, and I think he can like this
Somebody should put this track in the new final fantasy titles!!! Boss fight recommended
I think once you reach Tommy's and Slash's level it's all a matter of opinion.
@GoingAFK It´s because I know and I´ve seen a lot of musicians, especially guitarplayers.
@cbass5511 And then again, his music lives on forever, so will anyone ever? :)
@JimmyDeLocke and he liked it so much that he decided to stay :)
Ridiculous!! He manages to play it with expression, EVEN AT THAT TEMPO!!
if tommy can do it, anyone can do it. it only takes few years of practicing :)
I wish my dad played like that, would be fucking fun to jam!
This man could do some serious damage with his left-hand thumb.
Oh to play...To take the audience on that ride. "The Hunt".
check out TOMMY EMMANUEL - THE HUNT HD truly amazing
@newnoggin2 they are great players. Tommy is just greater.
@JimmyDeLocke and asked, "Tommy could you teach me how to play?" :)
@100manband 6) throw all your gear onto a fire.
hes okay..
now i quit guitar for the rest of my life
@newnoggin2 Just because there fking mainstream.
Still best play in 2023.
Many have, but several of them are incorrect.
@newnoggin2 Apples n oranges... Mr.Emmanuel is brilliant and one of my favorites, but folks like Hendrix were playing and braking ground on electric guitar 45 years ago. As a decent guitarist myself they are 2 totally different animals. Tommy does rock tho... wow!

That's right, Australia has all the talent haha
200,000 views and no dislikes. the man is talented
Furious crackling energy. BRAVO Mr. Emmanuel!
this is the best video of the hunt.. 5 stars
3 people got stomped by tommy`s foot

Tommy Emmanuel is true Guitar Masta'... Salute!
