I've seen most interviews with Tommy. They all have a kind of script with the same jokes and stories. This is by far the most spontaneous interview and I loved it. Thanks
I'm with you. By now I could stand in for Tommy in most interviews and give the answers for him. But every once in a while something special comes along, like this one. And like the one with Hallerin Hilton Hill, see the links in my other comment. It basically went unnoticed (~6k views in over 3 years), so I am promoting it here since everybody interested in Tommy should see it.
@@justarandomdude52 Thanks for the nuance. Reading back my comment, I realized that the second sentence is bit disrespectful which I didn't meant to be.
Wow Tim, I have tears in my eyes and a chill down my spine. I'm so happy you got to meet Tommy and he validated that you are a great guitar player too. Well done.
Can you believe this is the third time I've met him, and the 3rd time I forgot to ask? 🤯 I'm always so caught up in the moment I simple don't think about it!
Tim, congrats for landing this amazing opportunity. Tommy, you are an absolute inspiration and a true gentleman: humble and genuine. I am honored to be learning your technique and better off in life for experiencing your music and strength of character. Blessings to you both!!! Jesse from Canada
It's clear from the first minute that it's a dream comes true moment for Tim, and that makes it so perfect. Wonderful to see that from the first minute you two speak the same language. Great interview!
watching tommy on youtube is watching a tribute to hard work and dedication . i cannot even imagine the thousands of hours he trained to become a worldclass guitarist. this is insane. unbelievable
Holy Sh*t. I highly respect Tommy for telling the reason, why he wasn't in a good shape last year. This, this open talking, this open heard of you, is the reason we all get catched by you!! We Love you Tommy! Plus, Tim: It's so beautiful to see how speechless and not beleaving in what a crazy awesome situation you were, not only in the beginning of this interview, but EVERY Time, Tommy played something. I'm pretty sure, you had to calm down yourself everytime. Hahaha Thanks for this great great Interview!!
Blown away by the candor and humanity here. Sure U hit all the guitar stuff... Then on family issues T: "There is nothing I can do to fix it, but there is something I can do to fix me." Such a precious Nugget of wisdom from this man. Thx for sharing, Tommy. THANK YOU both!
Of all the interviews of Tommy, this one should have by far the most views...well done, Tim. And amazing work teaching the songs to people who want to challenge themselves to play them, but without your instructional videos, wouldn't really have a chance. Thanks for your hard work. PS. When, at the end, you were showing him your modifications and Tommy just wanted to play with you it literally brought tears to my eyes. Together, you two sounded so amazing...like a stereo with blossoming overtones...
That ending reminds me of when I had the chance to play a duet backstage with Tony McManus!!...what a great feeling it is to be playing with mentors!!...
What a great interview, I am still a beginner I consider, it is great to see two masters. I never heard of Tommy till I started the guitar. I am so glad I started, I am 62 and two years ago o broke my index finger and I thought playing guitar would make it stronger, I enjoy practicing daily I don’t have a lot of time to but it is something I enjoy, I am a woodturner so I constantly youse my hands, I am so glad I found your channel some time back, you are an excellent teacher and this interview shows you are going a long way just watching watching how humble you are in front of Tommy . Thank you
Finding your channel elevated my guitar skills to another level INSTANTLY. I learned how to play Tommy's Pink Panther theme even though it sounded way to hard at first - you made it look "doable" somehow. I learned so many new things and techniques from you and it gave me a huge boost in creativity! Thank you for that! :)
Great to hear! Although I've been at it for a year or two now, it stills gives me great satisfaction to hear that people are making good progress through the videos!
Tommy has time for people who recognise his gifting, and want to draw on that. It's called impartation. As he says, its his calling, and he doesn't know how it happens to the audience, but he knows that it does. Powerful stuff.
You are the best ... and if anyone deserves and interview ... it's you!! ... no person on UA-cam has the touch and command of Tommy's tunes like you!! ... CONGRATULATIONS!!
wow, what a great interview, its refreshing to see someone get as nervous as I do. I was supposed to go see Tommy on April 1st 2020 in Vancouver with my best friend. What an April Fools joke that turned out to be, Covid hit and the show was canceled, then my friend died four months later. I'm hoping to go see Tommy in Sacramento soon.
It was great!!! Bravo! I had also the pleasure to interview Tommy few years ago for a regional radio station in Basel, he’s a gentleman, impossible not to love him🙏💪.
Another great interview with Tom n tks Tim. I first heard Tommy and Phil in a band here in Melbourne Australia called Goldrush. I thought who the bloody hell is this?? Some will know but Tommy was playing drums, as well as guitar at that time. Funny in those days Tommy referred to himself as a rhythm player. Even then he was a great player and in a comment I heard him say, "well I have to better, I've been told" and better he did. I've followed him and Phil ever since and thanks for the inspiration. btw R.I.P. Phil gone but not forgotten, a truly underrated player.
Great interview! Love what Tommy says about players being unique and bringing their own technique to a song. It seems to indicate his own security in who he is as a player and not emphasizing competition. That's true greatness.
Definitely! We shouldn't shy back from doing things "our" way. I can understand purists want it exactly like the original, but that should only matter to them and not to everyone else around them.
@@TimVanRoy step over to the classical guitar world if you want to meet dogmatic purists 🙂. Lovely interview.I saw him live once and he was just good beyond belief . Do you use standard notation for his music ?just came across your channel today . You are an excellent player
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar Hi Alan! Thanks for joining the party here 😜 I use both standard notation and tabs when transcribing Tommy's music. I have a history as a free-lance musician, so I prefer reading/writing notation over tablature!
I'm so happy and proud of you Tim!! Excellent interview and Tommy looked like he was having a great time playing with you!! Awesome my friend and very well deserved!!
Congrats for landing such an interview, Tim! Really happy for you. And I’m so thankful to hear that Tommy is doing much better now than last year. Prayed for him and all
Seen Tommy from years ago when he used to play in Dragon in ozzy pubs and he has always been the guy down the road who just happens to be one of the best.
Just keep smiling when I watch the interview. Congratulations Tim and yes I do feel your nerves and I think it’s pretty normal when you sitting and playing with Tommy
Very well, I watched it start to finish. It really impressed me when he acknoledges his 2021 bump. All in a friendly smile. I really admire him. Good job Tim. Your English is so good. Thank you !!
Tim, you mentioned that you hadn't done an interview before - wow...you did an exceptional job with your first one. Really amazing. Well done!! I particularly liked some of the questions you asked Tommy, which were different to what he has usually been asked in his many other interviews over the years. It was a pleasure to watch and he gave a great insight into Tommy the guitarist, musician and person. I've been lucky enough to see Tommy play here in Australia several times, in venues ranging from full concert arenas, to concert halls to small function rooms and he never fails to inspire and impress. Thanks for sharing this interview and well done. Hopefully you will do some more interviews in the future.
Thanks Victor! Tommy always seems to give everything he has. The first time he played a show in Belgium I saw him perform in a venue that could 1200 people, and only 40 attended. It must have been a dreadful sight from the stage, but Tommy just blew through the whole set like a maniac. And now, whenever he plays in Belgium, it's always sold out!
OMG That was awesome! Your questions were great Tim and Tommy’s answers were so down to earth and interesting. I loved when you both played at the end of the interview. Wow what pressure for you man, but you played so well. I take my hat off to both of you. 🎩 I’m from Australia and have been watching Tommy for at least 30 years, since I was a kid…. I have to tell you he hasn’t changed. He’s so positive and such an inspiration, as you are. Thank you Tim for your tutorials and inspiration. Great interview.
Besides being a fantastic guitarist he also comes over as a very very nice person and full of fun and this is evident by how he greatly helps and saves the interviewer.
Ha. The best part is when Tommy asks you if he's playing it right. What a privilege to see you both together. Interviewing a hero like Tommy as your first interview? Right into hard mode and still pulling it off. Big cheers.
I'm going to see Tommy in Perth Scotland next week. Fourth time I've seen him in concert and every time I'm just blown away at how good he is. Can't wait.
I can tell you in advance: he's playing better than ever! He did a version of Doc's Guitar during the concert in Antwerp that was simply amazing. Enjoy the show then!
Wow....I felt like you were living my dream. I actually got a little emotional when Tommy insisted on playing with you. I can only imagine how you felt....likely a blur but in retrospect amazing? Well done....
I KNEW this day would come!! I even commented it would many months ago! It was nice to see Tommy bring the real you out Tim! Brought tears to my eyes!!
Thanks Philip! A lot of people were rooting on this ever happening, I just never imagined it would be so soon (and that Tommy would be the one insisting on us meeting up)!
I hope he played as well as he did here in Belgium. He absolutely killed it on stage. And what an acoustic ambassador you have with Mike Dawes! His set was amazing too!
The best interview with Tommy I ever heard - thanks for that. I am playing guitar since the middle of the 70th and I am still learning. Tommy is one of my ever idols like Leo Kottke on 12-string. Congratulations for your fine job with him!
The highlight of this brilliant insight into the mind of the one and only TE was when he said the action was down real low but it doesn't rattle. Then he plays it full fury. Strings ratte like all fuck! Outstanding!
That's what I thought as well when I listened back to it! But I'm sure if we played it the rattle would be 10 times louder. He really has adjusted his technique to this kind of setup.
I'm going to die along side the day we lose this man. He is such a gift to the world, truly... he's such a genuine amazing person and probably the best guitar player that's ever lived. I could sit and play with both of you for hours and hours and hours. Tommy lights up with joy to play with others. Your very good too brother!
The universe meant for me to see and hear this video. Tommy oozes love and spirituality. I've experienced that about him every concert I've seen him. This interview confirms that. Great interview !!!
It only remains to tell you, thank you very much for sharing this video. I can tell you that it is one of the most emotional interviews I have ever seen, I really loved it. To this day I have not had the opportunity to communicate with him, much less to see him in person, but with this interview, I have felt closer to Tommy Emmanuel, not only as a guitarist, but as a person. Thank you, thank you so much Tim. Greetings from Spain
This was an outstanding interview, Tim! Tommy is so humble… I love him as a Guitar player and as a person! I just subscribed to your channel today, August 25th, 2024 here in Denver, Colorado. Looking forward to all that I will learn from you, and so happy that you got that interview with Tommy!
Tim I just started watching this...so far great. I am happy for you. I believe you got this interview because of the integrity you showed in taking down videos with tabs etc. I have met Tommy three times and it is clear that he is a man of integrity kindness and generosity. He sees that in you. He also sees you as anotger "Man with the Green Thumb" you are a torch passer and you are humble. Congratulations and I cannot wait to watch the rest! Jeff
Hello Tim. Fantastic interview! Tommy is so humble and kind. Not only is he a phenomenal Guitarist, he is a good Man. So kind! I am Doug from Denver… Just Subscribed. Looking forward to learning here at your site! Thank you!
Brilliant interview with a lot of emotion. This help me a lot to relativize as a cusal player. Tommy is such a authentic musician and human beeing, Thanks
Tommy is an absolute treasure. He didn't have to do this interview, there was nothing for him to gain, and still went ahead and gave me (and my work) the thumbs up. What a legend!
@@TimVanRoy And what a better way to close this interview, seeing you playing with Tommy. This was emotionnal to see Tommy happy to play with somenone relaying his music and you so pride to share this moment with your mentor. Respect, Kindness, joy and legacy. Wee need it so hard actualy...
What a brilliant interview. Tommy is so genuine and giving, and having never seen you before I had no idea you played like that I’m sure you’ll treasure that time with him for the rest of your life. We’ll done sir.
Great talk and so glad he's doing well again. Funny how Tommy being himself can actually make you a bit nervous: you want to get it right. But I can confirm the suspicions: he absolutely is the nicest, warmest and most approachable musician you'll ever meet. Amazing.
He most definitely is! He did not have to do this interview, but he did and made it feel like a validation of the work that is being done on the channel here. An absolute legend!
Tim meeting Tommy is like Tommy meeting Chet ! Thank you both for great insight and beautiful music

The best TE interviews are with him talking without guitar in his hands somehow. He says a little different things then.
absolutely
I agree. It's great man. You are a great player too Tim
Oh my goodness, that duet at the end gave me chills
Wow Tim, I have tears in my eyes and a chill down my spine. I'm so happy you got to meet Tommy and he validated that you are a great guitar player too. Well done.
Thanks Stephen! It was an incredible experience sitting down with Tommy, no matter how nervous I was. Those compliments really mean something to me...
I was tearing and smiling when you two played together at the end. Hope to see Tommy's autograph on your guitar in future tutorials 👍👍
Can you believe this is the third time I've met him, and the 3rd time I forgot to ask? 🤯 I'm always so caught up in the moment I simple don't think about it!
@@TimVanRoy da's een beetje shitty :))

Congratulations!!!!!

Awesome, especially the ending part

One of the best interviews with Tommy, thoroughly enjoyed it. ✌️
Congratulations - you deserve it! I watched him twice last week, in London and bury st edmunds. Dream come true. What an artist, performer and person
I hope he played as well as he did here in Belgium. He absolutely killed it on stage. And what an acoustic ambassador you have with Mike Dawes! His set was amazing too!
congrats, both of you are amazing
great interview, cant get enough of tommy and his playing.wat a genuine guy he is.

Thanks Chiel! It really warms my heart to see how well this interview is landing with people. Tommy truly is the best!
I'm going to die along side the day we lose this man. He is such a gift to the world, truly... he's such a genuine amazing person and probably the best guitar player that's ever lived.

Tommy is an absolute treasure. He didn't have to do this interview, there was nothing for him to gain, and still went ahead and gave me (and my work) the thumbs up. What a legend!
@@TimVanRoy And what a better way to close this interview, seeing you playing with Tommy. This was emotionnal to see Tommy happy to play with somenone relaying his music and you so pride to share this moment with your mentor.
Respect, Kindness, joy and legacy. Wee need it so hard actualy...
What a brilliant interview. Tommy is so genuine and giving, and having never seen you before I had no idea you played like that I’m sure you’ll treasure that time with him for the rest of your life. We’ll done sir.
I definitely will! This was a once in a lifetime experience!
Tommy: a
Tim: I can Imagine
This man... was the reason i started love the guitar and the reason i didnt give up.. thanks Tim for the interview great job.
Thanks for asking that question about how Tommy was doing. It also seemed that asking that made you losen up and made the interview so much better.
Love the interview. I am very happy for you. Been a fan of your channel since the start. Great to see you get some recognition by the master
Great talk and so glad he's doing well again. Funny how Tommy being himself can actually make you a bit nervous: you want to get it right.
But I can confirm the suspicions: he absolutely is the nicest, warmest and most approachable musician you'll ever meet. Amazing.
He most definitely is! He did not have to do this interview, but he did and made it feel like a validation of the work that is being done on the channel here. An absolute legend!
