I got to meet Tommy Emmanuel at my uncles restaurant venue in Tulare California back when I was in middle school. Played Angelina for him as he sat and took in every detail, gave me corrections, told me I had a good ear and asked me questions about playing the guitar and what it meant for me…. 15 years later and that is the single most influential moment that helped inspire me to play today.
+Northernspotter101 Exactly what I do. He always has an encouraging word for anyone. No one plays like he does. Most guitars he signs, inspects are of a quality that doesn't come near his Matons, yet he always makes people leave feeling great about themselves and their gear. I find his positive attitude and happiness contagious. And the interpreter has absolutely nothing to do with me watching this video again. ;)
Да, великий, яркий и позитивный на все 100% человек. Он несет радость одним своим существованием. А уж скольким людям он изменил жизнь к лучшему, не счесть! Здоровья, счастья, добра!
@@CoolF-jd7rr How cool and edgy bro lol. What's "sad" is how you thought this comment would look. Funny, yet sad. Quite the paradox ya got there coolF.
@@coryCuc You called me "bro" before insulting my entire lineage? The vocable "bro" is being used blithely nowadays. I'm not your brother. And yes, you were being pathetic for saying someone is an amazing person when you don't even know him personally.
@@CoolF-jd7rr It's called sarcasm, bruh. I didn't think I'd need to explain that to someone with an education above 6th grade. Maybe I do? Whether I know someone personally or not is regardless of the fact that you can enjoy something for a whopping whole TEN minutes!!!! (another exacmple of figurative language there for ya big feller...) I get that you are one of those guys who lives a meek and introverted life and wishes they could be assertive in the real world, but can't, so you have to unfortunately resort to having random "internet fights" with strangers on the internet. I'd suggest going out and touching some grass or maybe venting to your therapist instead of crying on youtube. Thats another piece of free advice. Any more free advice and I'm going to have to start charging you "bro."
Gent meets loads of his fans always full of smiles one of the best just brilliant guitarist saw him live great night so entertaining cant fault him his playing is unbelievable legend
Tommy shares so much knowledge. These after concert meet and greats are a masterclass in real musicianship. Such a thorough professional truly a great.
Who's the cutie translator? For anyone wondering, Tommy is technically self-taught in some ways, but grew up learning to play guitar and was initially taught by (if I remember correctly) his mother at about 4 years old to accompany her when she played her lap steel guitar. His family had a band and went all over, basically. He grew up in a very musical family and had about as early of a start as he could possibly get to be an amazing guitarist. Self-taught in his own style, but he had tons of teaching from family and others growing up. He has traveled the world with other artists and hung out with all kinds of people, learned to play a variety of styles like Blues and such. I think he played bass at one point, as well. Former damned-good percussionist, which is also why he's so good at tapping on his guitar. Iron sharpens iron, but one piece has to be of a different shape (file) to do so against another (blade). Both pieces were similar flat pieces before being made into a file and a blade. I think Tommy would agree with that. You're a flat blade. Hone yourself with as many artists and music as you can, learn to play their songs by ear like Tommy did in his early years and continue to seek to be better. Playing is the first step, as Tommy would certainly tell anyone when they said they "wanted to put down their guitar when they saw him play". Typically Tommy responds with things like, "Don't do that, mate! It's not the guitar's fault!" and laughs. Gotta love this guy. Don't discount your playing abilities if you didn't start playing until teens or later, didn't grow up in a musical family, etc. Two different backgrounds. You won't 'play/be' just like Tommy, but you can enjoy playing nonetheless and that's what counts.
Also don't forget that apparently when he first started he didn't know a bass guitar existed and hence learnt how to play the bass line at the same time. An amazing talent.
Thank you for uploading this video and sharing with the rest of the world! It brought me great joy to watch! May the joy you’ve given others by sharing it shower down on all in/around Russia and Ukraine! Warmest regards 💞🙏

Томми лучший из них. Но они не все там такие. Архиповский Лёша - наше обаяние и генератор добра, чем вам плох. Но и мы тут не все, как Лёша. Всё довольно симметрично. Так, что не перегревайте тему.
He could make any guitar sound great. I swear, give him a plank strung with fishing line and nails and he'll get a tune out of it. Great guy, great musician.
На Meet & Greet мероприятие билеты продаются отдельно. С одной стороны удивительно почему так мало людей, а с другой чувствуется какая-то неискренность в таких встречах со стороны Томми...
That Crafter guitar he plays around 3:30 is around 600$ but somehow he makes it sound like a high-end brand with rich tone and clarity. Just goes to show that its not about the guitar...
Tommy just gives so much of himself, how can you not to love him
There's absolutely no ulterior motive here. He's just a super nice and genuine person!

Tommy is one sweet patient giving dude. Even with this small group he gives his all, just makes ya smile watching all this.
His generosity of spirit and love of people is simply off the charts - what a classy guy.
A great man with his admirers. So down to earth and humble. One of the best the world has ever produced and a wonderful inspiration to many.
Sat for 10 minutes straight with the biggest smile on my face. TE is an amazing player but an even more amazing person.
DITTO! Smile so big my cheeks hurt…feels super!

If only politicians were as genuine as Tommy. The universal language of music and humanity.
There are many musicians I appreciate, but I cannot imagine any one of them that I would actually want to spend time with more than Tommy Emmanuel.
Thank you, Tommy, not only for your music, but for your generosity and kindness.
Такие люди делают настроение, делают мир лучше!!!
This man is the top...I love that the Eastern folk love this humble talented man...

Спасибо ребята, кто снимает. Мне не доводилось видеть Томми Эммануэля, я б не смог снимать, только бы глядел на него и слушал.
Великий музыкант! Самый позитивный из всех гитаристов, он него просто идёт потоком энергия света и добра!
Easy to see how much joy he brings to his admirers, so great thanks Tommy.
Какие счастливые ребята, такая возможность, я вам завидую (по хорошему))))
он прекрасен! Как дедушка Мороз пришёл к детям. Просто чудо!
A good video which shows exactly why Tommy made it. Hard work on and off the stage. What a great person & musician.
One of the most generous with his knowledge. He offers tabs, instructional videos at the drop of a hat. Love Tommy!!!

He is as giant a human being as he is a guitar player. One of God's gifts to the planet.

@@devilsadvocate2548 Didn't know that one. Seems like something he should have known. I think they started coming to prominence in the 1950's.
As an Australian, I am so proud of him. Lovely Russian fans.
Love TE what a great ambassador for guitar players around the world,Mick from Brisbane Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Счастливчики))) дядя Томми гитарный БОГ!!! Мне тоже посчастливилось быть на его концерте.

Give him any guitar his going to make magic out of it...
That Crafter guitar he plays around 3:30 is around 600$ but somehow he makes it sound like a high-end brand with rich tone and clarity. Just goes to show that its not about the guitar...
I see a 600$ guitar as a high end instrument. A 50$ guitar is low end.
Which kind of model that crafter was?
