His playing is nearly incomparable (he's humble enough not to admit it). Every note is distinct, as is every pause. And his progressions are just genius. I smile every time I hear him, and more when I see him enjoying his craft and those who are benefiting.
Been playing acoustic guitar for about 30 years. I can’t get close to this! Even when explained by Tommy in layman’s terms! Your technique is just incredible. I doff my hat sir.
Oh my this is as good as it gets . I have played mandolin since before Sierra was born and she continues to amaze and inspire me . As for Tommy we are exactly the same age . I met him twenty years ago when a friend opened for him. I will never forget that day when I heard the most amazing musician I had ever heard. Over the years whenever he has come to town I have had the opportunity to see him and spend a few moments with him. He is so much more than just an amazing musician . He is so very kind, funny , and inspiring. I actually got the chance to photograph him and David Grisman the last time he was in town . I would morgatge my house to see Tommy , Sierra and Grisman play just one concert ❤
The unbelievable,the incredible, the amazing, one of a kind master of the acoustic guitar, a class act as well, Thank you Tommy you made my day 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great stuff Tommy. I'm seeing him tomorrow night in Brisbane, for the second time. The last and only other time i saw him was in 1982 with Phil, at the Melbourne Hotel, about 200 yards and a lifetime away from where he will be playing tomorrow. Very excited
Yeah your concert made him miss his flight to Adelaide and arrived late and dishevelled for his show at Adelaide Festival Theatre but still managed to put on a good show (I bought a ticket for my sister who had never been interested much) and was a bit disappointed it wasn’t as good as other TE concerts I had attended she was impressed nevertheless 👍
It’s not everyone who can be dedicated to practice a skill enough to become this fluent and out of those that do how many have the musicality and performance skills of Tommy Emmanuel, just an absolute master of his craft and a joy to witness
That is one of God's gifts to the guitar world. There are only a handful on earth. You can't practice your way to this performance; you just won't live long enough
I know how It feels getting so frustrated when seeing immense talents like Tommy. At the age of 75 now, I' m still a guitar freak and listening from Bach, Bossa Nova, Jazz and acoustic guitar. I sometimes regret my Ramirez, that I sold 30 years ago. Greetings from Südtirol, Dolomites.
I have often heard about him but was delighted to finally hear him on this post just recently! He is amazing, actually creates enjoyable music rather than meaningless fast notes and what a showman!
You almost got an old Marine choked up because your initiative and perseverance. Dang good stuff as always my.. Auzzie transferred to Tennessee Amazing Musician
Was having a rather rotten day..Turned on the laptop and went to youtube..Up pops Tommy and his beautiful guitar music..pretty new vids available.. Like having a new day!
I've seen him perform live twice. He's a musician's musician. You look around and you just know most of the audience (if not all) are guitar players. I know non-artists can enjoy and appreciate this level of artistry. But, I really believe there's another level that only guitarists get to during one of his performances. You watch in awe ping-ponging in your head. "I'll never pick up my guitar again-I can't wait to get home and try 'anything' new on the six strings I have."
That's it. He also inspires non guitarist's. Well, I can chomp with a plectrum but have enough other instruments going on so have to spread a bit thinner. The key is the Spirit of the man, and having that in the music too.
Tommy is so enjoyable to watch and listen to. Such mastery of an instrument is rare to begin with but even more rare is the coupling of that talent with a pleasant and humble demeanor. The subtitles in his performance are the effortless extension of a cool persona. Tommy is as cool as it gets.
Tommy doesn't perform. He is a TRUE entertainer. Plays the instrument as if he is just telling a story for us. I remember seeing him in NY once with his brother. It never felt like we were "watching" a performance. He got everyone invested in the music. It was an amazing experience.
I'm a guitarist, but after watching the various songs played by Tommy Emmanuel, I must say that this is the beginning... This man is not a guitarist, he is a guitar orchestra.
What an arrangement of Blue Moon it was my Mum's favourite tune I used play guitar my mum would sing my guitar playing has never been close to Tommy he's an amazing guitar player.
Im watchingyou now waiting for yournice songs and guitar too ❤❤❤ i like your messge to everyone ❤❤❤im really really injoy your performance ❤❤❤ your nice guy to all ❤❤❤ tereitababyj watching from philippenes
Awesome. My daughter served him on jet star going to Brisbane I think, said I was a mad fan of his, so he signed his autograph for me on a jet star boarding pass how nice…
I can only suggest that if you ever get the opportunity to see Tommy live… do it. Your life will be changed for the better. Well at least for several hours. 😊
Davespin i used to ride motocross too as a kid i had a 100 then a cr125 then later on 250 and a 500 and ita ironic you brought up your exact hobbies i love and i just happened to order a mororcycle online on a whim completely out of the blue impulse buy...thankfully they dropped the bike off at the wrong address and my order was all messed up and they gave me back my monet or should i say they gavr my credit company the money back. Take care and stay young brother..growing old is mandatory growing up is voluntary 🎉
Tommy, check " Can't find my way home" interpreted as a blues rock version by Paul Kype and Texas Flood. I think they made a great job of the original song by Blind Faith.
It’s always a pleasure when your artistic heroes turn out to be good people as well. I love Tommy Emmanuel!
Amaizing musiation man
A continuing inspiration. "Life is not a rehearsal."❤ (Balboa, San Diego, 2012. Life changing blessing for me.) Eternal thank you.
We don’t think you’re a genius; we know you’re a genius. You’re the best, Tommy!
Of course he is...does it get any better than Tommy Emmanuel ❤
His playing is nearly incomparable (he's humble enough not to admit it). Every note is distinct, as is every pause. And his progressions are just genius. I smile every time I hear him, and more when I see him enjoying his craft and those who are benefiting.
aaaaJdjc
Me too. I can’t stop smiling when I’m watching him.
It’s hard to keep track of evérything he’s doing all at once, with great musicality, humour and joy…. What a man!
think how his brain is wired
extra circuits for sure
He said, his goal was to sound like a band. He did it. He is # 1 because he doesn't show his virtuoso technique, but plays beautiful music.
It's a joy to watch someone do EXACTLY what they've been meant to do.

You are still amazing, Tommy. Thanks for many years of incredible guitar.
Tommy got me playing fingerstyle. A wonderful musician and Certified Guitar Player!
Ladies and gentlemen, the effortless mastery of Tommy Emmanuel. Such a joy.
👍👌😋 Always makes my day to hear the man. Love you, my friend.
The unbelievable,the incredible, the amazing, one of a kind master of the acoustic guitar, a class act as well, Thank you Tommy you made my day 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He is a great electric player also.
Gifted, hard working, and well studied. What a joy to watch and listen.
Tommy is literally a magician on the guitar! I love to listen to just about anything he plays!

He is simply the best.. And a nice guy, to boot!
The best guitarist I believe I've ever heard. Flawless.
Great to see a musician of this caliber not taking himself at all seriously
Stunningly brilliant!! Tommy, you are amazing and inspiring. Thank you for all that you do, and the way that you do it! Truly awesome!

Fabulous. Tommy always makes you happy when he plays.
Magic Tommy..best guitarist in the world! 🤩🤩
No.Bireli Lagrene is.And Tommy would agree.
That is one of God's gifts to the guitar world. There are only a handful on earth.
You can't practice your way to this performance; you just won't live long enough
Well know I know. I'm just going to give up then.
I'm SMILING so so huge!!!!! Just simply a great entertainer
Going to see him with my best mate next week and soooooooooooooooo excited❤
I’m going to see him today… so looking forward to the gig
Legend pure and simple
Just amazing. I've been looking for a reason to sell my guitars... 😃
I've been looking for a reason to buy more....we should connect.
I would like to see what's for sale.

You are so fantastic.I love it so much , you are the master. Thankyou.
I'm grinning from ear to ear watching Tommy nail this ( as he always does)
Haunting and absolutely beautiful ❤️. RIP Benny, a true gentleman and friend xx. Sadly missed.
Thanks for sharing! Timeless performance
Virtuoso guitarist, brilliant musician, perfect showman. Ladies and Gentlemen: Tommy Emmanuel.
it's impossible to not absolutely love this guy, and then also his guitar playing ,holy shit!!
What joy he conveys thru his instrument…near childlike in the best possible ways.
This is truely “playing” the guitar. The sheer joy is contagious even if I’m just struggeling I feel the same need to play! Thank you mr. Emmanuel!
damn singer
Such a delight to hear, and such a pleasure to read all of the amazing comments in the thread too!
He makes you want to dance 💃 smile and laugh just feel good 👍🏽
I wanna play like Tommy & marry that woman with that beautiful voice....

Your EmmanueL Plays the Guitar 🎸 with excellence . Our EmmanueL was an excellent Boxer, a world Champ . Wants to be president .

I hate when people think they have to sing at concerts. Let the performers play.
Well I agree sometimes. But he was not stoping her, see. So she had a pleasant voice.
I hate when people need to ruin other peoples fun when they pay to see a show and get lucky enough the have the performer play their requested song..
Your rt.. people are stupid
@@kotokochi1888yes it’s really annoying and “clapping along” in time ruins performances . Why do it?
You ought to go to a Dave Matthews concert. You can't even hear him sing because of all the people.@@twickersruss
❤ , like 3 people play music , natural acoustic ,lively!
Tommy is just so gifted at playing guitar .
Tommy, you are SUCH an inspiration to me!
One in a zillion, Tommy Emmanuel ❤❤❤!

Tommy Emmanuel doesn't need to sing, he makes the GUITAR SING.
