Even if Tommy doesn't play guitar, he would still end up as one of the best humans to have ever lived! This man is immune to fame and is just down to earth humble!
You're absolutely right. He's one of the most genuine people on earth. Humble, always willing to talk with his fans, sit down and chat or play a song, no problem. He's an inspiration to millions of others. Love it.
i wouldnt speak on thr man character as i dont know him personally. he has set himself goal and he pursued them to say he isnt popular or fanous is wrong.. he is one of the most recognize studio and live player.. he has played on countless album...he hinself said that he wasnt home that much most of is kids life. so evretging as a cost. hopefully his kid might get it later.. but if you ask me.. no music is worth the time with your kids growing up ever. i wouldnt do what he did. even know i admire him so much.. missing inportant milestone and things you cant ever see again would be too much. but a man need to provide.. and he did the best he can with his chop. hat off
@@nationalsocialist8382 they have limited power when somoene practice 3 hours a day and played 400 show a years. but he might be a freak of nature. like vladimir horowitz who ketp is chop on piano until almost death with his huge hands. the sane can be said of tommy.. his hand are not normal size. and when you try to play his stuff you quickly understand how huge they are and flexible. the tumb work cant be acomplished by everyone. the same can be said of john meyer song Neon... look at his thumb... its very long. and i try to learnthe song and some position are just impossible without a thunbs extension surgery lol.
As a musician who plays multiple instruments and is apart of the hard working class, arthritis is my biggest fear. No joke. Please god dont take away my music. Its all i got
He seems like such a warm and approachable person. Guitar is merely an instrument that he utilizes to make variety of music that he likes, rather than a master guitarist I would call him a master musician who uses a guitar. The different colors of music that he plays is just phenomenal.
isn't it lovely to witness genius without attitude. Maybe because he's not mainstream mega bucks material in the charts, that he's been able to keep his feet on the ground? Or maybe he's just a genuinely nice bloke. Love ya Tommy!!
i'm reminded by this vid, that thousands of people can "play" most of Tommy's numbers, but no one can do 'em anywhere near as well as him. How does his un-paralleled technique come about, without ever having had single guitar lesson? i think this guy is amazing.
Craig Madden Music I’ve spent 4 days with him on one of these retreats. You’re right he spends almost every waking minute with guitar in hand, the music pours out of him. That in itself is part of the “talent”. But it is a mix of hard work and genuine talent. Talent is real, particularly where music is concerned.
The singing makes all the difference [to me anyway]. I'm a guitar geek but singing, that's the holy grail. I became a Tommy Emmanuel fan today. Mair songs Tam. Best wishes from Scotland.
This is awesome ! What a great experience to be able to jam with him and have a lesson or two. I have not had much time lately to work on another cover but hopefully will have more time soon. I will be seeing him in concert in a week!!😁
@@RobyNos / meaning not a house hold name man, I had never heard of him myself, been playing for years locally and nationally, until I heard Eric Johnson talk about him and I know Eric personally. Same with Eric ,use to see Eric for $3.oo in bmt. tx years ago at a club called the" Foxy Lady" (not there anymore) so that's what I mean.
I tried this style for a week or two after 25 years of guitar. Cannot be done without decades of practice. Maybe someday I'll try again, but for now I'll just keep digging cool stuff like this. Thanx for the video.
Yeah it is not insufficient material...there is always some new clip to watch and listen which is actually excellent. I am big fan of course, watching and learning from Tommy's videos is like going on college and 15 years of studding .. no other way...
🎼🕊️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 спасибо за музыку, спасибо огромное Томми!!!! Успехов, брат,, здравия желаю, радости творчества, приезжай в Улан-Удэ Россия, Байкал рядом с нами 🌈
tommy is the best guitar player ever.. i sah him .. 2 years ago in heerlen netherlans.. it was a small hal but a really great concert.. thanks a lot for you best way to play... i love it.
Even if Tommy doesn't play guitar, he would still end up as one of the best humans to have ever lived!

What a great comment! Your spot on. I've not met Tommy but know some who have and you are so correct.
Wouldn't it be a lovely world if other 'stars' (who, in my opinion, aren't fit to lace Tommy's shoes) were this nice to thier fans.
I met Jimmy Page once, same vibe.

It’s crucial that we protect this man from arthritis.
bring him the best healthy food, so he can last longer, nice guitarist.
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and avocado's are all great for the cartilage in the joints.
I’ll pay for his cryogenic therapy btw!

A man who loves his work and his fans.A real gentleman indeed.
Tommy seems like the nicest bloke you’d ever meet.. what a legend

Tommy besides he's a monster on guitar ..he's the type a guy you just enjoy having a talk and drinking a beer...such a incredible person!!
Absolutely no ego just pure talent. So generous passing on his knowledge.
National treasure this bloke. Only really recognised by other musicians though? He truly loves the guitar. Hopefully all Aussies love him!
I've seen Tommy twice. He is absolutely amazing.
He is a guitarist phenom of the highest order.
isn't it lovely to witness genius without attitude. Maybe because he's not mainstream mega bucks material in the charts, that he's been able to keep his feet on the ground? Or maybe he's just a genuinely nice bloke. Love ya Tommy!!
the Master of Masters teaching us regular folks how to have more fun. do not worry about your skills. just have fun.
Thank you so much Tommy, I really really enjoyed watching to you and listening to you too. Amazing And Awesome Too. Please stay safe and well too
He doesn't need a stage, a big orchestra, a sound service ... genius is genius, anywhere and anytime.
These people talking in the background like one of the top guitarists ever isn't just slamming it 10 feet away.
I love Tommy's music ... he is such a great player, tons of energy and enthusiasm .. great teacher too!
Tommy make's me so proud to be an Australian 👍👍🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺
“It’s the opposite of what you’re doing, that’s why you are not getting it.”
- Tommy Emmanuel
I laughed at that. He's the only guy that can say you are 100% doing it wrong and still not be offended lol.
How awesome it must have been to be at a party having Tommy Emmanuel give you an impromptu guitar lesson!
greatest player ever. amazing human being. bravo Tommy!!!!
Amazing to hear Jolly Swagman underlaid with a Scottish lilt, beautiful Mate, just beautiful
Next level guitarist. Probably best I’ve heard and I’ve heard many
he is the kind of guy that can stop a conversation just to be able behold something amazing
He looks like my Uncle Alfred" RIP, lots of good comments here.Godbless ya Tommy your the best.
Magic........what a talent, what a gentleman..........what a treat.
Tommy E. is one of the best guitar players i have ever heard. ( I play guitar more than 40 years.)
get a real teacher maybe it's too late for you sir
@@banjoboy01 its never too late buddy
@@banjoboy01 Such and edgy and brave comment, bruh. Try harder next time.
@@coryCuc what was the original insult? learn how to read music? I forget
@@banjoboy01 Try writing your comment in English next time, perhaps.
I only stumbled upon TE about three weeks ago and I'm 62! I'm tototally blown away!
He seems like a masterful mentor !
The Best Tommy Emmanuel. Great Artist and really simple Good Personn. I am fan of this Man.
This man is a legend..I can't believe he is self trained. Respect...
i love the guy in the background for the last part. he is supposed to be in conversation, but keeps being drawn to the music.
Love you Tommy, the best person playin guitar, god bless man.
The thing I like about TE is that he allways has time for people.As good as he is he gets like a kid in a candy shop when he talks guitar,
It's really inspiring isn't it, he gets more humble and passionate about it with age.
Jesus Tommy is awesome.. Deep river is such a fun tune
Tommy ... such a generous teacher.
Thanks.
I love him. Thanks for sharing you beautiful human being 💜
How lucky are those people to be playing with and watching this dude
I'm a rock and metal guitar player....but I love this styl....tommy is the best.....thank you chet....
Acoustic guitar has no special effects, but its effects are special.
Don't forget Merle!!!
Fabulous Tommy... the guitarrist and the man! Congratulations, from Portugal
I love how tommy seems to be enjoying it
King of guitar.
I thought I was a guitar player but really I'm just a guitar collector.
Occasionally I change strings and don't screw one up. That's the height of my skill.
tommy always giving off good stuff to learn
I was just wondering if anyone had ever filmed Tommy when he was a young lad playing in the band with his family? That would be something to see
Tommy's pulloffs are soo goddamn clean
One shot from tommy and hes got me going for a half hr .So inspirational. the master of timing and technique to say the least
Superb guitar playing..Tommy you're a guitar god.
You have to love the man's boundless enthusiasm!
i'm reminded by this vid, that thousands of people can "play" most of Tommy's numbers, but no one can do 'em anywhere near as well as him. How does his un-paralleled technique come about, without ever having had single guitar lesson? i think this guy is amazing.
Cause he practices more than anyone else
And he invented most of his techniques
@@craigmaddenmusic3408 Nope, its more than that. It is quite rare when talent and practice meet. Tommy and Richard are one of those rare people.
@@UmVtCg I don't believe much in talent it's hrs put in

Tommy is just god damn amazing.
Love this dude for his unstarry disposition and remarkable playing
Stops playing for a second. "It's an Eddie Pennington move." This is great! Thanks Mr Tom
Eddie is brilliant and that was sooo cool to hear!
Who remembers seeing Tommy on the Bert Newton show? Still mind blowing after all these years
He was on Hey Hey Its Sat so many times... I loved it. I recorded it with VHS.
I can listen to "Jolly Swagman" all day.
The singing makes all the difference [to me anyway]. I'm a guitar geek but singing, that's the holy grail. I became a Tommy Emmanuel fan today. Mair songs Tam. Best wishes from Scotland.
His sound is amazing!
Wow. What a great video. Thank you!
I enjoy it very much, thank-you for sharing
Mind blooooooown!!! Wow!
Классные мелодии,, спасибо, Томми !!!!!
Приезжай в Улан-Удэ,😊👀🚴
This man is the epitome of everything human!!!
This is awesome ! What a great experience to be able to jam with him and have a lesson or two. I have not had much time lately to work on another cover but hopefully will have more time soon. I will be seeing him in concert in a week!!😁
Lucky Dog ! Have the Best Time !
Splendid! Wow....
It's kind of insane how he just appears to be strumming yet all this intricate melody comes out. Defies physics.
I ADORE Tommy Emmanuel -- thanks for sharing this!!!
Это просто прекрасно. Как же я балдею от Томми
What a great guy he is.
He is awesome,I’ll never play like him but I bet he can’t lay bricks like me 😂😂
That's actually very sweet. Good on you for knowing your strengths. Hard to do sometimes.
And he needs US to be the ears in the forest (and the wildly clapping hands!!!) Lol 💖🎶
And he can't build houses like me!
I can layer brick 35 years rather do it than eat
I still think he may be the best living acoustic guitarist I've heard in terms of sharp shooter accuracy
This dude convinces me that I need to work on my guitar if I'm not a good singer. That'll work too :)
What a great guy, that Tommy Emmanuel be.
Wonderfull person, with selfless atitude.Long live, Tommy Emmanuel!!!
Tommy Emmanuel Capo total!!!!
Delta blues at its finest. Soooo coooooool!
mindblowing,,and what a man!
This guy is up there with the best in the world. Again underrated guitar genius.
Why underrated? He is very famous...

A living legend !!
i'm from indonesia country..very like this video..good luck mr tommy emmanuel jesus bless you
He seems to get better everytime i see him no matter what his age
I tried this style for a week or two after 25 years of guitar.
Cannot be done without decades of practice. Maybe someday I'll try again, but for now I'll just keep digging cool stuff like this.
Thanx for the video.
Keep at it. It will come along just fine. Good luck!
Good thing of being TE fan is that there's like 300 new videos every day hahaha :)
Yeah it is not insufficient material...there is always some new clip to watch and listen which is actually excellent. I am big fan of course, watching and learning from Tommy's videos is like going on college and 15 years of studding .. no other way...
These guy's soul is unlimited!
He is truly amazing
How easy is for him the most complicated tune ? Well Tommy is the greatest guitarist of all times. Simply.
Duke if you never played guitar ... you would still dominate !!!! Champion by nature !,,,
🎼🕊️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 спасибо за музыку, спасибо огромное Томми!!!!
Успехов, брат,, здравия желаю, радости творчества, приезжай в Улан-Удэ Россия, Байкал рядом с нами 🌈
Он просил передать возможно он приедет в следующей жизни в Улан но у Удэ уже нет - слишком плотный график гастролей ! (Шутка)
TOMMY EMMANUEL ! The Greatest percussionist that learned how to play a guitar!
Yes. He was the drummer in the Richard Smith Trio many years ago
Tommy I love your passion...
He's just great
Great Tommy. I and my daughter Markéta really like it
your music. Have a nice day.
watching and keep hoping the video does not end
The moment Tommy tells you: "You're doin' the opposite, that's why you're not getting it"...
I’d Kms
No man ,it wasnt meant that way,he was trying to play the melody on the up strum ,that's why he was struggling
Is the moment you you got schooled, yer brain explodes, the angels sing and you finally understand a little something beyond yourself.
...that’s why you not getting it, idiot 😂
Tommy, you're a genius of finger style... Beautiful sound like a Bell!!
Tommy seems to use a guitar to communicate to people. He seems happiest when he’s surrounded by other guitarists
He's freaking amazing.
This is music & life & joy & smile.
I am using the same capo!
I feel connected now :)
I think Tommy invents chords as he goes along. Lol. He plays chords I've never heard in my life. He's an awesome, humble guy.
Wow - love Tommy! Thanks for posting. Loved it.
You are welcome! Glad you like it!
Just when I think I'm getting on OK with my guitar, I watch this guy and feel totally inadequate!
I’m hearin’ ya.
tommy is the best guitar player ever.. i sah him .. 2 years ago in heerlen netherlans.. it was a small hal but a really great concert.. thanks a lot for you best way to play... i love it.
I hope someday I will play like this.... It makes me so happy....
