    The fact that he's so giving to other musicians shows just how genuine this man is, a real treasure.

    What I really love about this whole interaction is that Tommy provides really great constructive feedback. A lot of players would either say ''Well done!, That's awesome" regardless of how well you played, or go to the other end of the spectrum and be patronising or dismissive. He gave really specific feedback on how to progress and develop as a player. I hope you took it on board! What a gentleman!

      Completely agree...my first guitar I bought ( almost a year ago) was purchased with the help of another customer. This old guy was just picking up guitars and playing insanely well - if you've seen Tommy emmanuels boogie woogie guitar vid, it was that sort of level, not even exaggerating!
      The staff were helpful, but there were two guitars I liked, and being a piano player, was a bit indecisive. The guy happily helped, going through the pros and cons of each one, playing different styles on them with different technique. You could see just how much he genuinely enjoyed both just playing the guitar and also helping aspiring players - giving me bits of advice as well.
      I am extremely satisfied with my guitar and am grateful to that guy for being so inspirational. A truly great guitar player is not afraid to help others with their guitar playing!

      I don't think "pwned" is an appropriate choice of words. There was no domination or humiliation involved on Tommy's part. He's a complete gentleman who loves his work and loves his fans and genuinely enjoys helping and encouraging them. You could see that the fan was totally thrilled with the attention Tommy gave him.

    • @HowardH2008
      @HowardH2008 11 років тому

      O.K....I must be living in a cave or something....What is "pwned"...I'll look it up. I'm back from Ask.com....You know what...I was surprised by that myself the whole thing about moving your hand back...And for a different reason....I play back there myself because I like to anchor the heel of my hand on the bridge. I'm not so sure I feel the same way as Tommy that it's nessassarily better...What he said was correct in terms of the sound it makes...yet when you play directly over the hole of the guitar the sound is mellower...so...I don't know... Maybe Tommy should hook up with another Aussie by the name of ...get this ...Olivia Newton John...."Have ya never been mellow"....:)

    • @TheRussRave
      @TheRussRave 11 років тому

      Gary Hughes
      Actually Gary I had to look up "pwned" myself as I was familiar with it being modern vernacular and sensed its meaning was somewhat derogatory and I was right. To be fair to the commenter, he may not have been aware of the connotation. Yes,.. I thought the tip about playing the right hand closer to the bridge was good. I have experimented with some fingerpicking using that technique and it does add a crispness in some sections which can then be contrasted by moving closer to and over the sound-hole.So that's one thing I took away from this video plus his excellent advice to follow the melody and build the chords and other picked notes around that. It makes a remarkable difference even though it does add some degree of difficulty in making it all come together. Cheers!

    What I like about those artists is that they take time to listen and give one or two tips always simple as crazy most of the time (nothing like technical infact), but so important and make the whole difference, in 10 seconds he summarized what's gonna take some days or weeks to practice and make the piece so much better..I liked the part where he explained the melody should be more distinguished from the chords and played exactly as John sung it on the record... Inspiring, thanks for the uplaod!

    Without doubt the greatest acoustic fingerpicking player of all time. Saw him over 25 years ago at a small intimate theatre. Absolutely blew my mind and everyone in the theatre. He has continued to play 8-10 hours a day since. His playing is amazing to watch but also frustrating as I know even 2 hours a day practice wouldn’t get close to this guy.

    That is why I highly respect Tommy. He is open to others, encourages, teaches and mentors others. To be talented is one thing but to lift up and help others with your talent and skills with a heart of a teacher is another.

    GOOD GRIEF! Nothing like a free personal master class from one of the worlds greats. It's so nice to see a superstar so down to Earth and freely willing, and obviously ENJOYING not only giving his fans attention, but giving them VERY hard earned wisdom. To get this kind of attention from most at Tommy's level you would be paying hundreds of dollars.

      Yeah, then he would pay you for it, AND you could sell it on Ebay as 'broken while being played by Tommy Emanuel' and get probably ten times what it was worth in one piece. Or put it on the wall and likely have one of the coolest ice breaking conversation starters in that room, at least for any guitarist that walked in.
