There were and are a lot of great guitarists and of course there are always a small handful of those who stand well above the rest but then occasionally, every once in a very great while, their shows up one who sit on his own cloud and and is a Master among masters. A Grand Master. Tommy Emmanuel is a Grand Master.
Every now and then Australia produces an outstanding artist. Vale Barry Humphries, keep listening to this bloke, one of the best. From a very very proud old Aussie.
A 1000 years from now Tommy will still be remembered as the best guitar player ever and this song will prove that. How is it possible that ANYONE can get that much feeling from 6 strings and 10 fingers? Tommy, when are you coming back to South Florida?
This is impossible. Tommy is once in a lifetime. You can’t stop it; your jaw will hit the floor. And he is an incredibly beautiful person as well. All we can do is just sit back and take it all in. Too good to believe.
I’ve read so many comments throughout my life saying “this makes me want to give up playing…” These artists spend their lives working on creating a magnificent product to help inspire you to greatness yourself. Take it from Tommy’s own words. You are capable of greatness, never stop surprising yourself and keep working very hard. Tommy says he plays to inspire others to play better. Appreciate his work and keep going my friends. God bless us all 🙏 Keep your heads up and never quit going!
This is an alien from space in the form of a man. His guitar too is an alien that could transform likewise. For one thousand years I guarantee I can never be like him, alien.
Discovered him later in his career and am astonished at his creativity and playing ability. Beautiful piece here. Can eveb see Dorothy and her three pals
Thank you Dale for the superb video and sound for this rendition of Tommy's tribute to keep hopes and dreams alive - this is one the best there is, truly moving.
I cant believe his mastery of artificial harmonics. Just putting a few of these together is very difficult, but he does fast runs, appegios and blends in natural harmonics and normally sounded notes. I think i only heard one bad note in the whole thing and that was only sightly muted. Wow!
I've been lucky enough to meet Tommy 3 times after his concerts.... once in my Home town of Toowoomba in Australia 20+ yrs ago. He's a really nice guy, and I wouldn't play like I do today if it was not for having met him. He's a national/world treasure. thank you Tommy.
Pretty sure it's standard. Definitely the low E is E, and the shapes he's hitting would suggest that all other strings are standard too. He just makes it sound better than most...
Great guitarist but I can't like any video with the crappy sound that comes from a telephone. My ears grew up with quality sound systems and this ain't it.
Great playing as usual from Tommy and good picture quality but terrible sound quality on this recording, with way to much stage reverberation. I assume it was done using a mobile phone, which are not designed for this purpose, as is clearly evident. I get tired of the low quality aspects of these types of recordings and wish UA-cam had a policy of not allowing them on their platform.
@@tecentral7564 How is anyone to know what quality issues there might be on a UA-cam video if they don't watch at least some of it? Try switching your brain on before commenting.
Ahhh yes, I too wish that there was a policy that only professionally recorded 4K Dolby-certified recordings were allowed to be shared with the masses, and everything else was banned, citizen journalism be damned. How dare some average Joe try to share something with other people despite not having the latest recording equipment 🙄
@@whenisasnakeatail4933 There are plenty of recordings on UA-cam, from very poor quality through to very high quality. People who put up music video posts should know where their videos sit on the quality spectrum. If they are honest they will admit when a particular video of theirs has poor picture and/or sound quality. It doesn't show much respect for someone's music when a poor quality recording of it is posted on public media platforms.
He seems to never be the least bit bored, giving all he has to each performance.
Everything he plays is magical
Those harmonics he hits with his right hand are so difficult as is, but the speed he does it at is unreal. Amazing
He is such an amazing guitarist! A real international treasure.

Tommy Emmanuel is a Grand Master.
Indeed... The best of the best!
Certified GM
There is a reason Chet Atkins bestowed 'Certified Guitar Player' on Tommy...
Tommy is just the greatest.
What a breathtakingly beautiful other-worldly rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’. Such a talent, what a gift to us all is Tommy Emanuel...
Whatever instrument one plays it’s all about having something to say - thank you Tommy, from the first to the last note, totally gripping 😊
This guy just keeps getting better!
A rare genius at acoustic guitar. Heartfelt.
Have you listened to his brother Phil? He is about the same, but on electric.
Maestro.
Every now and then Australia produces an outstanding artist. Vale Barry Humphries, keep listening to this bloke, one of the best. From a very very proud old Aussie.
If this isn't beautiful then I don't know what is.
First 18 seconds sounded like a piano solo! Brilliant!
Indeed. I've seen him twice and every time it's a blowout performance by a masterful entertainer, USING a guitar to perform. :-)
Tommy is such a master I could die to that music.
A 1000 years from now Tommy will still be remembered as the best guitar player ever and this song will prove that. How is it possible that ANYONE can get that much feeling from 6 strings and 10 fingers? Tommy, when are you coming back to South Florida?
He makes unbelievable sounds come out of a guitar. Somewhere between a piano and a harp !
A true master. MESMERIZING
This is impossible.
Tommy is once in a lifetime.
You can’t stop it; your jaw will hit the floor.
And he is an incredibly beautiful person as well.
All we can do is just sit back and take it all in. Too good to believe.
I have my own version which I play with equal passion, but, alas, only about 20% of his talent. Still, the important thing is to play.
Come on man...never give up...somewhere over the rainbow
Tommy Emmanuel is a true guitarist

Tommy is the undisputed master of the guitar. God bless Chet who inspired him to become what he is.
I love this song....thank you Tommy
This is a miracle. Like a great composer, he is taking a simplistic popular melody and making a full-size suite of it. Bravo.
Excellent. Love all his harmonics.
Thanks for sharing. Tommy is a legend 🙏🏻👍🏻
So beautiful 🎶💖🌷

Years on my eyes😰

Âm thanh đẹp quá!!
Calm and soothing...veru wonderful Performance
It’s game over man!
very fantasic
Thank you Dale for the superb video and sound for this rendition of Tommy's tribute to keep hopes and dreams alive - this is one the best there is, truly moving.
Just beautiful ; thank you Sir...................
Can you imagine a rendition of this with Tommy on guitar and Eva Cassidy at vocals. RIP Eva
Such respect for his audience and from his audience. I was not at this show, but the one I was at in Akron, OH was magical.
Magical- that is the right word….
Always something good from Tommy. Did arrangement for orchestra minus bridge.
Wow!
Just great 🍀💛🪄🙏
Tommy always leaves me speechless!
Really!? Just, WOW!! ❤😮😅
I want to play half as good as him when I grow up.
Bello/Magnifico.😮😮😮😮😮😮🥵
I want to see this wild man and Tim Henderson together that would be so awesome that would be some kind of Millennium event
Magic
freakin beautiful
Impressive technique in the service of deep feelings
As perfect as I think it gets. I wonder if he thinks he has ever played it better.
Beautiful!
The man is an absolute magician! 😊😊😊
amazing
Cada nota la interpreta para ser escuchada.dar lo mejor así lo percibimos. Grandioso lo que hace.
Tommy E, you are a six string master😊
Приветствую вас Томми вы мастер слушать и слушать приятно вас.

❤❤❤спасибо🙏💕🙏💕❤❤❤ привет из Сибири🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful... 👍
WOW.
You should check out Tommy and his brother Phil doing Rondo A La Turke.
Perfect!
טומי עימנו אל.❤
И инструмент, и музыкант высшего класса.
Great video to start your channel. Tommy is suburb here, as usual. A little more detail as to the timestamp would be very useful for future viewers.
HELLO I AM WORKING ON THIS SONG I LIKE THIS VERSION THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION JOHN PALMER (eljohn).
I've been lucky enough to meet Tommy 3 times after his concerts.... once in my Home town of Toowoomba in Australia 20+ yrs ago. He's a really nice guy, and I wouldn't play like I do today if it was not for having met him. He's a national/world treasure.
thank you Tommy.
Dale, was this from his show in Portland a couple years ago.
It was from his show last week here in Portland.
🌹🌹❤🌹🌹
Оскар этому джентльмену!
Wow. The technique and tastefulness… reminds me of Horowitz.
Is this standard tuning?
I'm not sure if he had it tuned differently?
Pretty sure it's standard. Definitely the low E is E, and the shapes he's hitting would suggest that all other strings are standard too. He just makes it sound better than most...
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍
Wow I didn't know he could play the harp too
Sounds like a harp is many places. Ethereal.
Well he’s enjoying it 😂
I think he is the best guitar player since chet atkins
I hate guitars sometimes because when I hear a guitarist like this, I just want to give up 🙁
Hang in, man!
I know how you feel! However, he IS better than 99.9999999999999999% of all guitar players that ever EXISTED! I wouldn't be too hard on myself.
Could not have said it better!
You must practice 40 hours a day!
If you really want something to achieve, you have to be a passion on it. Practice and patience is the virtue
На русской гитаре ?
Ja
the guitar goes for a smoke break after each song
I don't think he's playing in the key of C. Definitely some kind of off tuning. This guy is fantastic
Standard tuning but lower :)
@@tecentral7564 wow
Far too much talent in one package. So unfair. 😢
Great guitarist but I can't like any video with the crappy sound that comes from a telephone. My ears grew up with quality sound systems and this ain't it.
Hybrid picking I want to learn it.....
Recorded with a potato apparently.

Tommy is fantastic, your sound quality isn’t...
He Is playing with his head n Not his hands. The Amazon acoustic guitar sounds real real bad, Just a bunch of irritating noise. Tommy Go home
Yeah he’s a good player…. But think he murdered this one. Far to much decoration and a little bit to far up his own backside. Pity he couldn’t sing
Фантастика игры
Bravo da capo
Beautiful!
