This makes me so happy. I've chatted with Tommy many times over many years. He's a man of habitual generosity. I have seen it happen in ways that will never be public. Great job, Ari.
Like Tommy, I'm an Aussie and I have to confess that some of his on-stage personae used to irritate me sometimes. Then I stumbled across a video of him back stage, after a show, with his fans. Some of them had brought along their musical instruments and I was knocked out by seeing Tommy tune them, repair them, show the fans little tricks and tips to help their playing - in fact nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. His patience and enthusiasm was endless. Needless to say, my opinion of the man is very different now!
Great playing Ari and such an honor to meet and play for the man the legend mr. Tommy E. He’s such a genuine person , always love listening to him. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼 🎶
Wow ! TE is as we all know, a true passionate musician, and one of the worlds best players. But this gesture was fantastic and an opportunity for you to get your face and skills known world wide. You played flawlessly, well done.
Ari, that’s just amazing! Congrats! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and playing with Tommy a couple of times and I can only imagine how thrilling it must have been to have him invite you to share the stage. Best of luck to you!
Well deserved spotlight! You did a great job at playing in front of Tommy and his audience. Next step is a collaboration with Tommy on his Accomplice series! :)
I found this video in my recommendations and I have no idea who Tommy is and you are new to me too and I am a poor guitar player but this video of your incredible playing inspires me to keep on practicing so thank you for this, I'm subbing to your channel too, much love and appreciation from Wales UK 🏴.
Brooks is an awesome teacher and a very chill dude. Not surprised to see you playing all good like him. I had him as a sub at Berklee for a few weeks and it was great. Keep pickin and grinnin bro
Nice ... I'm glad I saw Tommy several times at the beginning of this millennium in Southern California, South Korea, and Thailand, before he started charging people to meet him backstage.
Just fantastic. What a wonderful expereince. Great playing! Could you share the settings Tommy adjusted on your AP5 Pro? Your playing was fantastic, and the sound was too.
Invited you to play on stage before he even knew your name . That’s so cool!
This makes me so happy. I've chatted with Tommy many times over many years. He's a man of habitual generosity. I have seen it happen in ways that will never be public. Great job, Ari.
He is a flaming gigantic kind LEGEND!!

Great job Ari! You played flawlessly even under the unexpected circumstances. Congrats!
Thanks so much!!
Ari Emmanuel! Outstanding. Close your eyes and it’s hard to tell it’s not Tommy playing. Kid is phenomenal!
Awesome compliment. Thank you!
The classiest and most generous of musicians and just a totally decent human being.
And nice bit of picking as well Ari 👏
Thanks for helping to keep Buster B’s music alive! Incredible job.
Kids used to follow Buster around. Its great to hear people playing his music ❤
Tommy is an absolute gentleman and a great great guy. So humble
Thank you Tommy for so generously giving Ari 5 minutes of your time.
I can see a touch of Earl Scruggs´ fingerstyle in Ary´s playing, and some of Earl´s sincere generosity in Tommy´s kindness.
It just doesn’t get any better!
Congratulations Ari!!!
Thanks!
Way to go Ari. Sounded great! Tommy is very gracious. Memory of a life time!
That's a pretty nice performance, Tommy is such a gentleman to give you this opportunity, I'm sure you deserve it. Congrats from Quebec Canada! :)

Amazing!! Ari so talented and Tommy so humble. Everything in this clip is simply wonderful and fantastic!
Mr Tommy is so awesome, so natural, and what a gift to you :) Amazing, but also, you Rocked it, congratulations !
Tommy is a guitar legend. I remember seeing him and his brother busking in Central station underground in 1976. He was great then.
What an opportunity! Great job young man!
That's a great young picket and Tommy is such a gracious and encouraging man! It really touched my heart

I’m starting an Ari Ettinger fan club.
I’ve been following Tommy for years and to see a frum kid getting it done thrilled me.
Sounds great! Help me spread the music!
@@ari_ettinger I will. I play your style. Struggling to learn the Katz piece
Genius

Kids got a cool style.
Reminiscent of Davey Graham, plus a little Django.

Awesome playing Ari. I guess you have been listening and learning to play like Maestro Tommy. Keep it up young man.👋
Saw him in Calgary not long ago. What a guy and what a picker. Sat in the choir loft behind the stage and had a different view than I'm used to.
Congrats, lifetime experience indeed 🔥
Very well done. ‘Success is preparing meeting opportunity’ - and you made it happen!

Che meraviglia il viaggio dell'arte da una generazione all'altra! Bravissimi e complimenti ancora.
That's amazing!!!
Wow nice playing Ari especially as unexpected public performance. New subscriber :-)
Just coming up with a Buster B Jones tune that Tommy didn't even know shows me you're an absolute freak and deserving of my subscription.
Just a regular teen who play guitar...a lot!
Great groove! Great tune, played magnificently! And TE loved it! Just subbed and gave this a thumbs up!
Much appreciated!
Lovely signature there Tommy E. ! Old school cursive one can actually READ...
SOUNDS SO GOOD !
WOAH good stuff man
Way to go Ari!!! Superb.
Bravo!

You are among the greats Ari, I’ve watched your video like 20 times. Looking forward to more stuff from you
Wow, thank you! I'm trying to get a video out once a week (not so easy to do with my school schedule). Please subscribe!
Amazing. Talented.
Thank you very much!

A Gentleman 😘
Totally!
That must have been a thrill.
