It's incomprehensible to me how Tommy can play melody line and supporting bass concurrently, and so impeccably, so clearly, on a six string instrument!
I totally agree Tommy is the King, but we have a few Swedish princes that are quite good also; among them Emil :) A few examples of his performances which I assume you might have already listened in to: th-cam.com/video/ohcovld8o3U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/-bNwPkdilAU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/XgMG62jxoEc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/AzzGHNE7CBk/w-d-xo.html And of course one with the master himself: th-cam.com/video/5cyofxo274M/w-d-xo.html
True..they have their own genius & its in music..its trully a God given gift...i play guitar myself & now that 51 these musicians made me realized im a dull boy musically & my grade is a D....time to call it quits!
Ou in Grass Valley 1/11/25. You play the Duke and it made me how I felt when I used to ride my horse. It made me cry. I miss it so much. Best concert ever!!
To all of you saying its GOD given - he has been practising for 4 hours a day for almost 60 years, dont give GOD credit for all the work Tommy put into his craft...
@Nils4ndersson You are absolutely right about him and about other celebrities like Tiger Woods -- people attribute his gift to having been God-given. Maybe. But I would highly recommend a book called "Talent is Overrated" by Geoff Colwin. In it He details the EXTRAORDINARY amounts of practice that the so-called geniuses put in to hone their craft. Among others he details the behind the scenes of Tiger Woods and Mozart. When you see Tommy Emmanuel you are just seeing the tip of an enormous iceberg.
@@coryCuc He's good technician in fact he's an amazing technician but that doesn't mean he’s a great guitarist. He reminds me of a chef that’s really quick a cutting onions and can carve melons into interesting shapes; unfortunately he takes some classic recipes and then adds to many other ingredients of his own into it thinking he’s making it more interesting but fails. He fails because he doesn’t understand what the original was about. Basically too clever for his own good and I have seen perform at quite a few guitar festivals; the first time I thought that’s clever but after that shine quickly wore off. His compositions are similarly fixed in that bracket ‘look how clever I can play’ but just like the best drum solos in the world it can only take you so far.
@@Insolation1 I would disagree. As would many others. Your comment couldn't be further from the truth and shows that you really don't know much about Tommy Emmanuel. That's ok. Not many people do who don't know much about playing the guitar. Your comment would hold a lot more water if your comment came from some sort of knowledge about TE or finger picking or if you knew even a little bit about his background.
Best guitarist conversations tend to favour rock guitarists like Hendrix, slash, Clapton etc, but tommy Emmanuel is absolutely the best guitarist that was, is, and will more than likely ever be.
Holy Geez!! I started playing guitar in '68, and turned 68 three weeks ago, and this the man I want playing at my Lottery win party, and I'll pay him anything he desires!!! Insanely amazing instrumentalist!!!
I met Tommy outside Windsor Castle last October. I was too old fashioned to get a selfie with him but we shook hands and had a chat. I introduced him to my granddaughter as one of the worlds best guitarist's. Tommy said : ' Your granddad is dillusional '. Modest as ever but I don't think I was far wrong.
Талант от Бога! Мира Вам,Маэ́стро, у спехов , слушателей благодарных, учеников способных. как та милая девушка , с которой Вы играли Сказка!! Фон Вован.Я Вам написал добрый комент.
He's unique. There really is no one else who can do what he does. Yes, there are other great players, y'know, like Django, Hendrix, Wes, quite a list, but I've seen Tommy live. If you ever have that good fortune, remember to pick your jaw up off the floor before you head home.
When someone can play the guitar so well and make it sound so tasty, you don't need a bass player, drummer, or vocals. The incredible thing is, it doesn't sound like its missing.
And you just know this lockdown we're all experiencing around the world is being put to composing some new levels of brilliance by Sir Thomas, the acoustic alchemist! But as the ultimate road warrior, you just know he's itching to get back out on the road. He's simply the total artistic and technical package, playing with such joy, enthusiasm, and showmanship!
Just phenomenally good. I remember meeting Tommy at a guitar workshop then seeing him play a song called "initiation" which was about australian aboriginal roots and they always say that a good performance takes you out of yourself . I was there in the outback believe me , crazy as it sounds. It remains in my top five live favourite performances ever.
Yay. I was 20' away from Tommy at a folk festival in Colorado just 2 weeks ago. He was as good as I could hope for. I hadn't heard this Beatles montagè blend into Classical Gas before. Loved it!
Been a fan of Tommy for years, heard every song and watch all videos...He's never out of tempo, and whenever I heard him hit a wrong note, I'd blame my ears
Id love to know what the 123 dislikes where watching this guy is the greatest guitar player ever i guess they are all just to jealous to give thumbs up
OMG Utrecht is amazing, got to stay there a couple of times on business trips and spent hours cycling around the old village - love it! See the clockwork museum! I cannot imagine how great it would be to see TE there.
I played the Sitar at Paul Mc Cartney's 64th birthday party. I said 'bet you never thought it would come round so quickly when you wrote that one Paul'!!!
Tommy Emmanuel is amazing guitarist, love his Beatles songs and awesome classical gas which Tommy makes alot cooler by picking up the tempo and all his awesome guitar technics and percussion 😌🎙️🎸😎🙏😍🤘🤘🤘
I had the honour of shooting him during a rehearsal and the concert after... www.alphons.net/gallery/110304-tommy-emmanuel-acoustic-electric/index.html and during a guitar workshop www.alphons.net/gallery/120121-tommy-emmanuel/index.html. Both in Amsterdam

One of the best guitar players worldwide! It’s a privilege to listen to him. He is fantastic!

right?!!! Amazes me every time
@@lanibruce6613 Because literally nobody told he couldn't.
Well hes been playing and practicing literally all his life. Not that crazy when you think about it.
Best guitarist in the world. Period.
Pretty hard to argue that.Might be a few as good but not better.

He is good, but my brother is better, and I don't speak with my brother. So love has nothing to do with it.
@@herc_ules_therealone lmao 🤣
if only the whole world would be able to enjoy this there would be no wars
Jean pierre Van keymeulen it IS enjoying it and we still rage wars. Politics and governments...
This inspired me to give up playing guitar forever.
People with this kind of talent in anything , blow my mind. It is truly God given
True..they have their own genius & its in music..its trully a God given gift...i play guitar myself & now that 51 these musicians made me realized im a dull boy musically & my grade is a D....time to call it quits!

Born to play the guitar. Nobody does it better than Tommy E!
Fantastico Tommy e le canzoni dei grandi Beatles sono sempre le più belle...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
To all of you saying its GOD given - he has been practising for 4 hours a day for almost 60 years, dont give GOD credit for all the work Tommy put into his craft...
He once said he practiced 12 hrs a day.
I once practiced 12 hrs in a day. Next day not so much. Must be why I only have 100th of that skill.
At the age of 6,he is already a prodigy.And what do u mean by dont give credit to God for what Tommy has achieved?
@@DodoRai a lot of people saying its talent is from god and not from himself

FANTASTIC TALENT IN TOMMY EMMANUEL WHO IS BLESSED BY GOD!! GREAT TALENT!!
I was pretty impressed with all four guitarists, the drummer, and the percussionist... oh, and the base player
Tommy plays Hendrix th-cam.com/video/LrsgB3132-U/w-d-xo.html
Tommy is a one man band
Vai called him the best 2 guitarists he knew...
@@brianmi40 and Tommy reckons he was not the best on the family & that his brother Phil was. Compare the 2....just wow....RIP Phil....
He’s medicine for my ailments
Thank you!
If I were half as good as Tommy I would be the second greatest guitarist in the world.
Well, you better check out Tom Bresh......
He's bloody awful.

Tommy IS The Best. How he can get so much beauty from a guitar. What does she have to say to you Tommy ?? ❤️
I have not seen anything better than this my entire life.
You are missing one thing better!🤣
@@Swizzenator And that is?
A real master at work. His ability on the guitar is astounding.
He is No.1😊
Best guitarist conversations tend to favour rock guitarists like Hendrix, slash, Clapton etc, but tommy Emmanuel is absolutely the best guitarist that was, is, and will more than likely ever be.
Perhaps, but there's a reason a lot of them pointed to people like Chet Atkins (aa Tommy has done as well) during those types of conversations :)
The joy of this man's musicality is beyond this world!
Seems like a humble and pleasant chap as well :-)
The man is a marvel. Everything about his playing is joyous.
In my opinion, THEE BEST GUITARIST EVER! Thank you, Mr. Emmanuel... 😉 💜 🍀 🎶 NEVER GETS OLD!
This guy loves really what he's doing and his joy is contagious..amazing "band" haha
Iv,e Seen Tommy Play Three Times,I,m An Aussie And He Tourers Regulary .Ever Time Is A Gobsmacking Experience.The Man Is A One Off.
Это нужно не только слушать но и СМОТРЕТЬ! )))
Браво, Маэстро!
The greatest guitar showman is Tommy no doubt ,Emmanuel means God is with him🤟
fhere is only one thing to say about this man HE IS GREAT !
You should see him live, he is the GREATEST!
Holy Geez!! I started playing guitar in '68, and turned 68 three weeks ago, and this the man I want playing at my Lottery win party, and I'll pay him anything he desires!!! Insanely amazing instrumentalist!!!
My guitar gently weeps when ever I pick it up. Actually it is more like uncontrollable sobbing :(
That's odd...
Mine chuckles and says, "You're gonna try to play WHAT?"
Best TH-cam comment ever!

There are lost of videos of Tommx hanging out and playing with his fans and signing guitars, i just love how he is humble and kind to other people :)
He makes me very proud to be Australian

Playing lead and rhythm at the same time. Amazing.

This Tommy guy is a living legend trust me.
This man is a legend. T. Emmanuel and Chet Atkins should be taught to kids, they sound like a band in one man.
Oh, my God, he plays on one guitar Beatles songs better than we had tried to play it on three guitars together many years ago... BRAVO MAESTRO!!!
This man is soooooooooooooooo good! What else can you say!? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
This was jaw dropping in places.
Kann eine neue Woche besser beginnen

He's so good and the Beatles has such depth.
This man is sooooooo good The best for me !!
I got to hear him and watch his performance. Tommy is the greatest alive now.
Man that guy can pick so smooth just so fun to watch
Every time I see and hear Tommy Emmanuel it's impossible not to sit hear with a stupid smile on my face, on the verge of bursting out laughing....
His playing is pure happyness :)
Yay.

AWESOME!!!
Unique, unique, unique. What a MASTER he is!
freaking amaaaazing!
Doesn’t get any better…!
I've seen Tommy play more times than I can count since the early 90s. It never gets boring. Ever. Wow!
Taking my guitar to the pawn shop tomorrow: clearly something wrong with it!
easy peasy, i'm just not ever going to play guitar again. :)
Mick Gatz what planet is he from?
@@larrystirling8425 Dunno, but ya wanna check this dude out!...... th-cam.com/video/IAXNQ_1zSgI/w-d-xo.html
he's had a guitar in his hands since he was four ... plus the guidance of his parents ...
Thanks a lot ... my wife even got the joke.
man is friggin talented
Every few months Tommy seems to raise the bar again. This is spectacular. Remarkably clever and very entertaining
This guy is the man. I’d love to see him in concert. I always wanted to make a couple of robot drumsticks, that would tap on the side of the guitar.
I did, and he was great!
I saw him last December. He puts on an absolutely stunning show!
C'è da rimanere ipnotizzati ...
Unbelievable, what a talent 😲
OMG Utrecht is amazing, got to stay there a couple of times on business trips and spent hours cycling around the old village - love it! See the clockwork museum!
I cannot imagine how great it would be to see TE there.
Wonderful
Dancing Bear ❤😊❤
Simplemente el mejor!!!!!
I played the Sitar at Paul Mc Cartney's 64th birthday party. I said 'bet you never thought it would come round so quickly when you wrote that one Paul'!!!
Now, THAT's musicallity, heart and muscle memory in a beautiful combination! ❤
Best acustic guitar in the GALAXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best, is a few......
Classical Gas, Tommy is killing it !!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. Luthier said, Oh Tommy E. will be playing it, let’s put a few extra braces in the top 🤘
Tommy Emmanuel is amazing guitarist, love his Beatles songs and awesome classical gas which Tommy makes alot cooler by picking up the tempo and all his awesome guitar technics and percussion 😌🎙️🎸😎🙏😍🤘🤘🤘
SURE WISH I COULD SEE HIM LIVE
Hes just so good
Fantastic... food for soul...
Tommy, your playing is brilliant , i like that
=th-cam.com/video/DL2WLLclvTM/w-d-xo.html
I get teary eyed whenever I watch him perform this medley of his...
Just an amazing talent!! A Great showman, if you get a chance to see Tommy in concert, give yourself a gift and see him!
I had the honour of shooting him during a rehearsal and the concert after... www.alphons.net/gallery/110304-tommy-emmanuel-acoustic-electric/index.html and during a guitar workshop www.alphons.net/gallery/120121-tommy-emmanuel/index.html. Both in Amsterdam

It's impossible to stop yourself looking around the stage for the other musicians...
Who rocks so hard, TE? YOU DO!!
U n b e l i e v a b l e !!!
The people who have disliked this marvellous performance must be tone deaf and musically illiterate!!
Chet was right.
Simply amazing
Wow great guitar playing. Sounds incredible
Великий мастер!
That was unbelievable, awesome job.
Simply awesome
He'll be in Cincinnati in September..... looking forward to it.
Amazing! Words can’t describe how much I admire your talent!
