Living legend , anyone agree??!!
The best
One of the greatest musician who ever lived in my opinion
John is dead unfortunately
As good as they get
Just discovered him.. just insane. If i had knew him before i certainly would have learned pguitar… too late .. that s it
On the seventh day God thought about creating Tommy Emmanuel. Thank you God!
Tommy’s hands were made by the Master Craftsman in Heaven. God bless Tommy!
Just plain Beautiful...
One genius man is playing a song of another genius one.
Great call Dan🙏🏼
You're right Dan. I was working on a printing press the day John Lennon was killed. I just stopped and went home. Imagine...
@@quangly4482 Is that true?? I struggle to read music but I’m studying music right now, and that gives me a lot of hope
@@quangly4482 you absolutely don't need to read music to understand the theory , scales and principles behind it. To say it's genius to create music without ability to read music only proves that you don't know much about it.
Well said 👏🏻👏🏻 a really beautiful version. Great video too. Tommy is the most sensitive player! I’m trying to cover him ok my channel. I don’t know why I bother! 😂😂
Beautiful commemoration of what would have been John’s 80th birthday. Thank you.
Musical harmony, grace and technique at the highest levels. Thanks Tommy!
Some people play music. Tommy Emmanuel IS music. Beautiful version.
John Lennon is smiling from heaven saying, did I write that music? Wow, I'm happy. Thanks for sharing Tommy.
I imagine there is no heaven. Sorry to disappoint you.
@@kingrobert1st lol
Lennon’s not in heaven and he’s singing about it on the song, unless he got saved. Jacob Prasch gave him the chronicles of Narnia two weeks before he got shot.
you have to have Jesus as your Lord and Savior to go to heaven. For Him to be your Lord you have to do what he says to do & read the Bible. Bible does not contradicted by 40 writers proving both, that God wrote the Bible and that man is without excuse on judgment.
I'm literally crying. The best thing in my life as a music lover and guitar player must be discovering you. Be well and stay healthy dear Tommy.
Tommy is amazing look up Alip Ba Ta he’s phenomenal too
Same here 🙏🏻
Be healthy.
Not a better guitar player in the world as far as I'm concerned. Great song played by a great man!!
When Tommy plays, the world does live as one.
WOW !!! You know its going to o be great before you watch it. Then, he still blows your mind with his performance. Absolutely beautiful !! There’s only one Tommy Emmanuel !! Love you, Tommy 💕🙋🏻♂️✨
💓🎶
💓💐🕊️ привет из Улан-Удэ Россия 🎸 Байкал рядом с нами 🌈 приезжай в гости к нам!!!
The world needs music like this right now and always.
I agree... the world is so polarize... we are getting in a dark ages of technological wonder
instantly saved to favorites
This brings a new level of beauty to this John Lennon classic.
Vero!
Jawdropping clarity, especially with the harmonics. I'll never be this good but I thank God that someone is!
You can do it if you want to
@@silvenshadow yes he can, but he better be prepared to give ALL his time to that instrument haha
Great comment. I will remember this one - when I need to accept the painful truth that I will never be good, it helps to be thankful someone else is.
Nobody can play with dynamics and feeling the way Tommy does, he is the master's master, truly one of a kind and the best in the world.
Ng lh poi and the surrounding
Ng lh dep to get to see if the person to be in a bit like to be in
Ng ruh lh
Ng Ng ieid the best
Agreed! His dynamics and feel are unrivalled! A great version. I’m trying to cover him on my channel. I feel like I’m wasting my time! 😂😂🎸🎸
97 jerks dont like this regardless of how great it is.
I'll tell my grandchildren this is the original one. Thanks alot Tommy.
if someone really understand how a guitar works, this is him
I still don't understand people who dislike good music, good technique, good performance?? Like I understand it might not be something you listen to or it's just not your style but how can you be so ignorant that you are unable to see the effort? This is a masterpiece and Tommy Emmanuel deserves nothing but love
Truly said
Because hatred and anger is popular among the youth. They think it makes them "edgy and tough" Much the opposite. Makes them look lost and sad.
And I don't understand people who whine about a problem as non-existent as this one. Why focus on 22 dislikes (some of which might have been missclicks/bugs etc) that are absolutely non significant compared to almost 6000 (already and will be many more) likes which shows that virtually almost everyone liked it? Also, you cannot have everyone like something/like you and sooner you realise it and do your thing you are gonna be better off.
Douglas D you act like its a single generation with this problem its a repeat every generation lol
Tommy is awesome but this song is disturbing if you read the lyrics.
If John Lennon was alive he would be singing to this
No one better!!❤
Months ago my 6 month old baby wouldn't settle down, so i randomly put one of your videos on. We just sat there watching until she fell asleep. We've been watching videos of yours every day at nap time. Thank you for the music.
Beautiful
That's amazing my friend, there is definitely a calming touch to his music.
I was lucky enough to be taken by my dad to a live gig to see Tommy at the Rialto in Brisbane at age 11
Parent of the year ladies and gentlemen!!!! ❤
Used his music in Early Childhood Education for years. Babies love it.
My stepdad just died this past week. He always loved your music and now I see why. We'll be saying our final goodbyes to him this Friday and I'll be thinking of this song during the ceremony.
With all that’s going on right now I wish the world would just stop and listen
I was fortunate enough to attend his NYC show Sat 10-2-2021- ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday John Lennon❤️🎉🎂
Happy Birthday Tommy CGP. May 31, 1955. Many happy returns. Good health. Blessings. Your music soothes our daily agonies. Have friend with dementia. Beautiful response to music.♥️🎶🌹🙏🎼
Thank you Master CGP. I think John is clapping from heaven.
Keep your eyes closed and listen and feel peace
Never liked this song until I heard you play it 🤌🏼
Just one word inspirational
I wonder what John’s reaction would be if he could see this. Absolutely stunning. I’ve been a fan of Tommy for about 15 years and have met him once. Worked at a 5 star hotel in Nashville and several places in Hollywood meeting many famous people, Tommy was the only one that had me star struck. All I could tell him is “you’re my hero” and he said with a laugh “I’ll play my best for you” never will forget that moment
That's beautiful man
Legend has it those headphones provide the superpowers required to play this masterpiece.
Thank you...my country need this song
I wish Tommy could be my guitar teacher. He makes me want to practice 24/7 but also quit at the same time. ✌🏻❤️😊
I know, right? He is one of the reasons I started playing in the first place. Since then I have learned two of his songs in 14 years. His stuff is hard to play.
I can't understand how you can give a thumbs down here. Tommy Emmanuel's play and version is so breathtaking. That can just be envy.
Chris Schmitt...those people were just holding their phones upside down.
Watched him last night in San Juan Capistrano. Did not disappoint!
This is a master at play.
The six people who disliked this.. dont know anything about guitar and about Tommy Emmanuel. You six.,; keep on listening Damas Gratis.
Those six held their screen upside down ;-)
They could be just religious and hate the song because of that.
they do it to be contrary, all us real players/music lovers know the truth..I don't even know why I replied..but yeh buddy, yer correct, they know nowt of guitar playing, or the beauty or passion that Tommy exuded in bucket loads here..nuff sed..I think
@@kayracan3663 Some people fear the message, no borders, no heaven/ hell, world unity - SCARY STUFF -plain and simple.
Those 22 people are those peope say we want perfection and even if they find a small mistake they start to criticize but what we can do also we can't do anything so we should forget about people who like this ☺️☺️. Stay positive in mind 😊
I listened to your performance since 1996 with my wife . I bought your original album in cassette tape format and play it on our honeymoon.
God bless you . Tommy Emmanuel. The saint of guitar.
Thank You Mr Emmanuel!
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today, I
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Give peace a chance
This is a perfect example of why i consider Tommy the best acoustic guitar player in the world! Such emotion & dynamics, thanks brother!
Wonderful Tommy. You are such an inspiration. Wish I could have seen you at Shrewsbury. All the Best to you.
LEGEND, NO DOUBT.
The living legend Tommy Emmanuel
Imagine re-imagined. And brilliantly
imagine john were here with us 😌❤
There are musicians and then there are artists who use music as their medium . Tommy is an artist.
ANY SOUND IS POSSIBLE WITH THE MASTER'S TOUCH
What a legend! If I were to know all of his skills but had 0 bank balance I would gladly accept it.
I can’t Imagine it being played on guitar more elegantly.✅👍
I feel like crying every single time
One day I will play alongside you Mr. Tommy
Вы, Томми, великий музыкант. Долгих Вам творческих лет и большое спасибо за Вашу МУЗЫКУ!
Присоединяюсь! Красота спасёт мир!
Your beautiful sound let us imagine all the people overcome COVID-19 and live in peace, someday.
well said
Thanks for your time at University of the Arts. we love you, Tommy!
WE LOVE YOU TOMMY.
Tommy is fantastic, he and Chet Atkins are great influences of mine.
Thank God for Tommy. Heaven on earth through music :)
Tommy I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you live in Leicester at the guildhall in around 2005. Most inspiring!
THOSE HARMONICS GOT DAMN
To push the limits of what you perceive as impossible. First you must Imagine
What a wonderful, amazing tribute! Imagine that these days John Lennon has been gone for as long as he walked among us. It brings me tears to my eyes to think of how much I miss his voice in this world. Also, Tommy is making such a beautiful, incredible arrangement - that I am just so thankful for the great gift of music to humankind! ❤️
A genius poet’s song, a genius musician’s rendition. Beautiful
Everytime when I got this video open, I can immediately get into pure focus mode and just listen what Tommy says
Thank you!
That man made love to his guitar.
One of the most beautiful songs performed by one of the most beautiful people!
This cuts through right off the bat.
Tommy is the GOAT.
shittt that harmonic was too beautiful
This song inspire me a lot Tommy!!!In your hands, this song comes alive.
Greetings from your spanish fan
The genuine touch of the artist with a subtle fine brush. Can it get any better.
Lost for words...thankyou
Thank you, Tommy and Team!
I just feel like crying. Covering such a song with a guitar, while not making anyone miss the timeless original, means being gifted by God. John Lennon is blessing you from high above the skyes. Thank you for letting your music reaching our hearts.
Thank you for still imagining Tommy. I'm sure John would really enjoy your version of this song. What a wonderful world this would be if we could all just get along together, and I believe with a little imagination we could.
John would have been super proud of this rendition
surely the best ever!
Just imagine what might be possible if we taught our children how to love the beauty and simplicity of creating music, solving problems and doing it all again from another perspective. Plato was observed that all children need is to learn music, mathematics and philosophy. When we do, we all discover love and contentment. Thank you Tommy for exemplifying all of that. Exquisite as ever x
I'd just discovered a legend guitar player this year 2020..
Do you ever think he forgets where he is? Like, for just one second. Music does this for me :)
We've lost Chet, Roy, Glen, Jim, and others... Thank God we have Tommy.
Tommy's playing never ceases to amaze me.
What a SONG. And what a MASTER!!! And what happens?
A wonderful MASTERPIECE 🎸🤯🥰🤩
Drifting away... Thank You!...
Thanks Tommy.
This man never ceases to amaze me.
Such a beautiful couple! ...Tommy and his guitar.
Beautiful and Iconic
Tommy is awesome. I have to admit i have been so moved by his music i have cried my eyes out.
Ok i meant to say eye.
Wow. That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed in my 66 years. Your music pretty much puts it all in perspective. At least it does for me. It's just a heavenly thing of beauty.
Idk about you, but I will never get over how soulful he plays music
Great artiste and great musicien,❤❤❤❤
Beautiful. Thank you. And yes, I will.
A beautiful, thoughtful arrangement, performed flawlessly. Tommy, you are a treasure. Thank you for spreading your genius to places where the masses can readily enjoy it.
Emmanuel is the synonym of effortless playing❤️
God bless u. Thanks fro the wonderful music
Happy birthday John Lennon
Oh Tommy your version is so absolute tasteful and warm. Have no words. LOVE it. Please stay safe my friend! Greetings and all the best from Hamburg - yours, Jimmy
