- Originally shot by "falkrik" Sorry dude. It's a great vid, I had to share it. Tommy Emmanuel shreds the shit out of his acoustic guitar playing Guitar Boogie and Stevie's blues A song he wrote for the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn! Amazing guitar player! And NO.....This video has not been sped up!!!!! For the last time!!!! lol
Ive been playing the guitar for nearly 10 years, and after watching this video, i have decided that i'm still a newbie
I've been playing 45 years and after watching any Tommy Emmanuel video I KNOW I'm still a newbie - he's just incredible.
The arm endurance is real
Pyromaniac
When asked about Repetitive Strain Syndrome, he replied to the effect if a guitarist suffers from repetitive stain syndrome they aren't paying right so should go back to basics.
these people are exceptional! dont compare yourself to others, there is always someone who puts the cherry on top of another cherry
Has the same effect as the first time I saw him live ... you just laugh and shake your head at the ridiculous brilliance of his technique, musicality and rhythm. Savage!
Just a fantastic player - any genre you like and he'll knock your socks off - go and see him perform live and treasure the experience. People like Tommy only come round once in a lifetime and anybody watching this is sharing the same lifetime.
Agree. Saw him live with James Morrison in Newcastle Australia once. Incredible.
His brother Phil also very good. A band that they used to play in called Goldrush was awesome to see too.
TOMMY EMMANUEL - no backing band required.....ever.
I really don't think I've seen a better live guitar performance in my life.
Me neither, and I've seen Tommy live before.
I can't remember ever hearing blues acoustic guitar played like this before. Truly amazing talent
I had the pleasure to see Tommy play in Evansville, In a handful of years ago. My face hurt for three days because I was sitting there like a 'kid' just grinning from ear to ear for two hours. What an ungodly talent.
Seriously? People are disliking this? WHAT is there to dislike? This was absolutely incredible, there are few people who can shred like this on an electric, let alone an acoustic!
unreal,, i dont hear it,,, i feel it.
Hey Chrlie Barber ! I'm a Fla/Ga Barber ! GGGGrandson of Moses Edward Barber / first Cattle Barron in The New World , Moses went in to Fla 1820s and hunted Spanish Cattle and had the lions share pf the beef contract to the confederate Army ! take er easy ....
Surprised the bloody thing didn`t catch fire !
And...... For any guitarist out there that thought they knew how to play an acoustic guitar; Well............... Then there's this guy......
As a guitar player who has always stuck to real love and belief of music with soul, this guy is the real thing. He does pander to the crowd sometimes because he genuinely loves his fans and gives them everything he's got. Beneath the corny jokes and silly grins lies a true master
Tommy is one of the greats. He has been around a while and has paid his dues. More than once I am sure. He has the right to show off a little if he wants
I've seen Tommy several times live and he's never less than outstanding and jaw dropping.
I don't care what you paid to see Tommy but it was'nt enough
If this is your first Tommy video, please do yourself a favor and watch a few more. As brilliant as this is, it's the tip of the ice berg in both music style and technique. Oh, and he also happens to be a brilliant composer and arranger. But a word of warning: once you start watching, hours will slip away.
Hey!....This guy puts a smile on my face...anyone who can do that in this troubled world is fine by me.....
I couldn't watch the whole thing as he is SO good my eyes started bleeding and then my head fell off.
Lmfao !!!!
oh yeah better than jimi and stevie and eric yeah yeah no he really isn't just stop
OpinionatedMonk my puppy has seen him 12 times and he still sees pretty well.i've seen him like 30 times and i can still kinda,see stuff.
I F EE L
OpinionatedMonk 6kk7
Best guitarist i have ever see in my life! When i think to be good like him, i would think leaving school and dedicate my self to guitar 24/7 since my 4 years old
I have seen Tommy live in concert and he is the genuine thing... amazing and has to be seen live! Australians are just good like that!
as well as being a fantastic guitarist, Tommy is also a great guy.
Was just waiting for his guitar to catch fire or his fingers to start spewing blood holy shit dude
Love the way he digs into every note and squeezes so much tone from the guitar. Sure, some showy fun stuff, and kind of "full blast" most of the time, but with some real music in his fingers. You can hear his passion in the way he plays the strings, regardless of how fun and showy it might be. Gotta mix up the show with a tune like this once in a while!
Why are people critising. The blues is personnal, self expression, wild untamed, calm. Tommy is clearly having fun, and thankfully we have been able to see what a great unspoilt blues man he is. No fancy guitar or effects. No one can say they can watch that and not be in awe of the guy. Incredible playing, that looks improvised, show casing a natural talent, and overall amazing entertainment value. I have been playing over 25 years and I take my hat off to him.
This is the most amazing guitar playing that i have EVER witnessed. An absolutely superb post. Thank you.
The best guitar player I ever seen ... He's just a legend
Apparently some people have never seen a live video before. Yes there are people hollering in the background. It's live. lol

4.6 million views later... maybe Falkrik could have uploaded it himself x.x
whatever... live blues video's are the best tho! all the people screaming brings me more in the blues grooves!
+DUCK NANA :D
+DUCK NANA Yep!
if you playin good enough :-d
hi! what's his name? thanks!
Anytime you see Tommy with a guitar in his hands he has a big smile on his face.
1:34 - 1:38 I really like that series of screams, pure enjoyment!
1scott921 movie in tom and jerry
if i saw this guy live id probably start cry how much i like this. lol
right! lol. good talk buddy. always there for u
thx. i knew i could count on you
im not crazy lol
@@troyburriss4449 sus
Did anybody else jump up and clap at the end of this video. That was some siiiiick shredding!
I must have watched this a hundred times in the last few years, quality, just quality
Have seen him live several times and he is always amazing !!
Man and guitar in perfect harmony.
Insanely Beautiful.
Wow!super.

My hands cramp up just watching! I got to see Tommy Emanuel this year he's amazing and a great guy. Someday I hope to go to one of his workshops.
I've never seen an acoustic guitar played like this. Incredible
This guy is amazing. I love this.
Oh , man ... I have played guitar a long time & this made my jaw hit the floor ... I do realize that a very small percentage can play this . The only reason this guy doesn't make a lot of the top guitarists ever is because most people don't know about him ... They automatically think of Clapton or Hendrix etc ... This guy is fantastic player.
Pardon my grammar , but I think you get the point.
Tommy Emmanuel is pretty famous, playing about 300 sold-out shows every year.
Tommy has VERY big strong hands and fingers. YOU can see it, and hear it all through this. His hand volume thru the guitar reminds me of SRV, both with similar hands, and gut feelings for rhythm, Guthrie Govan has no hope here, even though he is a way better shredder.He is too thin in the hands to really crank animal volume like I mentioned above.
Good point CARAT ... God-given talent & hard work as well.
hi I have been playing guitar for the past 30 years. clapton, hendrix, etc etc can play guitar dont get me wrong but they never played the chet atkins style with great effect base rythem and melody finger picking with the added acoustic drum beat of the acoustic. Tommy emmanuel takes it to another level beyond these guys, 1 of the greats.
been a fan four about 25 years.........That's when I saw him on a BBC show and the next day I saw Stevie Ray.............Kindred Spirits......
Tommy Emanuel - utterly & totally astounding & breath taking. Thanks, for the vid.
That might be the most impressive guitar playing I have ever seen...Bar none!!
All I have to say is WOW!!!
My God! I have never held my breath for that long. Amazing!
So much art - so - so humbling.
Damn us Aussies for producing awesomeness!!!!
shayne s
OI OI OI
Ok ozzy.
Producing? You mean duplicating.
*Replicating. You can thank American for producing and creating all popular music enjoyed the world over. Because the blues is the tree trunk from which the branches and leaves stem...
I love the fact i came here by watching random "GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS" -videos... Then saw the comments.. -Guys guys..Calm down.. This IS Tommy Emmanuel. ;) -Want a better compliment Tommy? - I Cant find one. ;)
he truly is astounding! love to hear him play!
Tommy and Guthrie Govan are at the 'top of the heap' of guitar players. True guitarists understand how much more difficult it is to play acoustic guitar with such clarity and skill.
SRV 's mouth is open up yonder.
that is one of the top 5 pieces of guitar playing ive heard, Hendrix and SRV included
Man, I rediscovered Tommy Emmanuel. I knew him and shared his guitar vedios on fb when i was young. now I see this again, really brings it back. how could I have missed it
Meanest, sickest lowdown boogie ever. Seen this man 7 times and I will go back for more. This is only a small portion of his amazing virtuosity and verticality.
you should add the name Tommy Emmanuel on the title for people to find it, it is not just an amazing play but an amazing guitarist.
Fastest 12 bar i've heard, sounds a lot different. Really like it!
I think Somewhere in between he adds SRV tribute to it
He actually plays two songs. The first is "Guitar Boogie" by Arthur Smith, then halfway through, he switched to "Stevie's Blues." He says it's his "attempt" to pay homage to SRV.
you should here his brother!
Jeffory Richardson says:
"he switched to "Stevie's Blues." He says it's his "attempt" to pay homage to SRV..."
==
That explains a lot to me.
I was like, "Wait a minute, didn't I hear this somewhere?"
lol
Wow. That's crazy, amazing talent! Stirs up abit of excitement within my soul
When a legend plays..... stuff like that goes BOOM
this is guitarminator came from future.
that's the best comment I've seen so far! :D
Gökhan Güher n
Gökhan Güher, ohhhh yessss!
Come with me if u want to live
I like every time I see guitar player there always one guy in the audience who have to say WOO wOoo Woo Wooo WOoOO woooo wooo wOO wooo WOOO
Fantastic rhythm here... lovely!
You are amazing! What an inspiration to us guitarists!
1:22 - 1:24
That little shine on a machinehead lol :D
As if heavens be like "ayyy thats our boy"
There was 230 thumb down till now probably young people, many of them ignore what music is.
As long as they can run a government better than your generation, who cares what kind of music they like?
What You say? What government you mean?
55 years old and I think I know what music is - this is virtuoso playing but it's not music to my ears, it's twaddle, trying to impersonate music.
Arthur Steele What a crock of shit - !! - I wonder if 'you' can play like that - ???
Missing the point Carlos. This piece is brilliant technically, but lousy musically. If your musical tastes are governed by technique rather than emotion, then what can I say?
I'm so glad to see that 4,000,000+ have watched Tommy Emmanuel play!!
amazing outlet for the soul.....loven it
Anyone wanna buy my guitar?
I gave all my guitars away. And up-ed my Prozac dose.
see that some people claim that this is sped up................if Tommy comes to your town.........go see him, Jimi, and Stevie Ray are dead,............and this is as close as you will get to them...............absolutely incredible guitar playing (acoustic or electric).........if he's near your town, you need go and experience just to say.......you saw one of the best guitar players on the planet......
Tommy Emmanuel butchers Jimi and Stevie Ray combined lol
So cool and happy blues !
He plays with all he is , body soul and love.
One of Austrailia's best and littlest known exports..
You got the guitar tab for this? :-) Great performance and talent!
its blue, use your ears!
Villiam Melin That's funny cause the comment was intended to be tongue in cheek. Maybe you should use your brain jackass!
Okay, I was just trying to ctxh that up, but if you're that kind of guy so fine, i wont bother you.
Villiam Melin That kind of guy? Mate, look at your words: "its blue, use your ears!". I'm unsure what "I was just trying to ctxh that up" actually means, but don't expect me to believe you were trying to be helpful. I wouldn't have replied like that if I didn't find it a bit rude.
mrbsred1 Jesus you need to lighten up
Went to see Tommy play in Edinburgh about 10yr's ago,Brilliant! a true master.
Surpreendente, maravilhoso, um fenômeno! Estou muito feliz por ter ouvido esse espetáculo!
imagine playing this riff in a guitar shop, pretending you were a newbie..
They'd just give you the guitar for free for sure lol.
Oh . . my . . . GOD!!! Been playing 40 years and prefer the likes of technical unmatched one-of-a-kind mind fuck blowers like Rush, Dream Theater, SRV, Gary Moore, Yngwie, etc, and this guy made my jaw drop. What a wonder!!! And yes, Old Guys ROOL!!!! (the misspellings on purpose english majors!!!)
100 years of blues history in 6 minutes!!! There should be a tab for this- even if it's a complete book!!! GREAAAAT Thanks for sharing!!
Simply Amazing
this guy can play anything. zucchini through a vox, generally fresh produce etc
I think I'll donate my guitars to Goodwill and become a monk! :)
wow so talented !!!!!! love it. thanks for sharing
When i saw the title I though, What some new amazing blues artist who isn't Tommy Emanuel? But then when i clicked the video i saw it was just Tommy doing what he always does, being amazing!!!!
Every time i hear Tommy Emmanuel i just wanna throw my guitars out the window and find myself a new hobby.. :)
metroshifter Same here, searching fast acoustic blues was a mistake.... :D
What freakin idiots gave Tommy a thumbs down. Don't listen to anymore music, and go play with your food or whatever it is you do for entertainment. Tommy is one of the best there is.
Have you listened to Angelina, Haba Na Haba, or anything from his CD titled The Colonel and the Government (2013)or Little By Little (2011). Good music and it does not sound dated. He can play anything he likes, without a ton of effects and distortion.
Everyone has their own taste in music. However, I don't think you have listened to the two recordings I mentioned. There are no pyrotechnics in either one, just some beautiful music. Take care.
That's too bad, there are a couple of good tunes on them both. Everyone's taste in music is different of course. I could say I find Lenny Breau's playing to be very cerebral and lacking in soul. There is sometimes a lack of dynamics in his playing, but that would be nitpicking and maybe I have not spent enough time listening to him. Rolling Stone rated the top 100 guitar players of all time and neither Tommy or Lenny made the list. I guess according to the experts, we are both wrong. Chet Atkins liked them both enough to play shows with them. I have played with a lot of guitar players, and none of them would call Tommy or Lenny mediocre.
I was a piano major (dumb move) and I could barely make it through the first few measures of any piece I was playing without my instructor stopping me and finding something wrong with at least one note I was playing. But she still liked my playing overall. I am glad she did not call my playing mediocre. I would hate to put all of that work into being mediocre.
I appreciate your opinion, but you know what they say about those.
Oscar Peterson is one if my favorite players, but I have ran in to people who will tell me they don't like or appreciate his playing. But, they are not arrogant enough to call it mediocre. You must be one heck of a guitarist to offer up that critique. I would live to hear you play sometime.
Love to hear you play.
an absolute Genius.
probably THE best thing I have ever watched on you tube
Most impressive, but has he ever heard the saying "Less is more?"
"Less" is what guitarists like me play."More" is what guitarists like Tommy play:-)
Less = Wes. As in Montgomery.
sure he did, but doing job of whole band on one instrument is another story :)
Roger Steinbrink More=Moore As in Vinnie :-)
True...when it comes to "Silent Night..." This is guitar boogie dude you don't play "less." Check out How Deep Is Your Love Emmanuel if you want less.
Well, so far 316 people who can't even approach playing guitar like this...don't like this video. No formal instruction--can you believe it?
fuckin idiots
Either they don't know the first thing about playing guitar , or they think they can play better , which I'm sure most can't.
Yeah trolls don't like stuff they cant play
Anyone who knows music and guitar can see the mastery in ALL styles of playing.Ive been trolled and visited their channel. and found them to be awful players in some cases..In essence i don't mind getting a few tips from Jeff beck but trolls have a nerve even jimi hendrix gets trolled ?? i dunno nothing like a rant from the uninformed
A Legend! An Aussie. When the world succumbs, we'll help you, in the land down under.
Just saw Tommy 3 nights ago, he is very amazing, A must see
Arthur it is apparent you have no idea who Tommy Emmanuel is, this man is one of the greatest guitar players on the planet yes this performance is not typical of his music it is just to showboat for a live show, The great late Chet Adkins call Tommy the best guitar player alive today and bestowed on him the CPG title (certified guitar player) one of only four that Chet gave out, Listen to his version of Michelle, and the song Those Who Wait, there are not many like Tommy.
Maybe the best on acustic guitar
+michael collums Y'know, there's a feature called 'Reply'.
I've never heard of him but I can definitely say that he is one of the best blues guitar players alive !
+John Betterton Tommy Emmanuel. Check out his other video. He does Beatles Medleys that can turn you on your head.
+John Betterton Robert Johnson. Educate yourself on real blues.
12 bar blues in the key of E-lite! (elite, not the cigarette brand :D )
So when are the tabs coming out so I can casually fail trying to play them :D
Lis Spir
Played with such delicacy.
Just brilliant
He must have callouses the size of turtle shells to play that on an accoustic
You know? If you keep playing, the callouses go away after a few years.
I had pretty hard rough callouses the first 3 years I played. There was a strip of ugly hard tissue on the outer edge of my forefinger from playing a ton barre chords. Then one I day I noticed they just weren't there anymore.
It's a rare day, when I don't play at least an hour of guitar, but nothing ever hurts. The skin on my finger tips seems a bit thicker than anywhere else, but that's about it.
I've met quite a few other guitarists with the same thing. I don't know why it is, but they go away.
***** Yeah, they go away... fingers just build resistance... I guess??
Keith Hall If they ( the fingers ) hurt from playin' 8-10 hours a day... try 'super glue' .... I swear I have done this for a 'gig'.... I got it from George Thorogood.... but he's bad to the bone!
Tab?...really? As if you could play that
If you shouldnt have seen this,and just listen to it, you wouldnt believe it !! Thats how amazing Mr Emmanuel plays guitar ! Its UNBELIEVABLE...Cheers mate.........
I play myself so I know talent when I see it. Brilliant
Easy!
lol.
+geefender you upload a video then mate lmao
this is what happens when you put Eddie Van Halen on an acoustic guitar the guys freaking awesome by the way
+Mehdi Saad If Tommy were Stephen Hawking, EVH would be an elementary science teacher in comparison.
+Dan L actually Eddie Van Halen was influenced by Jimi Hendrix
Mehdi Saad Who wasn't influenced by Hendrix? He completely changed music as we know it. Being influenced by something or someone great does you make you great. EVH just spews scale runs out at fast speeds and people who know little to nothing about music think he's great.
+Dan L I was influenced by Ace Frehley from KISS
Mehdi Saad Seriously? Or are you trolling? Frehley is one of the notoriously overrated guitarists who was a member of possibly the most overrated band.
OMG!!! How amazed
Ah Tommy, use to see him live so much in Oz, The Rocklilly in Monavale in Sydney, Guys a god, a life dedicated to music happiness love & teaching. Well Done Tommy!
