Tommy Emmanuel (Angelina)

[infek7]

This was the first Tommy Emmanuel video I stumbled across over 4 years ago. I've listened to this song endlessly, requested it at every Tommy show I've ever been to. I love this man and his music :)

[whedonfreak976]

That man can play a six string :D

[Gingerlord01]

i like to play this whilst blasting zombies heads off on cod ;P Joke...i dont even have cod.....

but seriously, this is just plain beautful :)

[MrStuartcullen]

Met him at a concert in Bristol and he is a top man and his music is amazing. One of my favourites of his is his cover of willie's shades. Amazing artist!

[guitarownerlol]

my guitar teacher talked him in a bar in australia xd

[Boblw56]

As a guitarist of 50 years experience, he brings tears to my eyes. Perfect combination of technique, touch and emotion. Just beautiful!

[infek7]

This is the first Tommy Emmanuel song/video I ever seen/heard 4 years ago, and my life has never been the same since.

[johnpaulsialafau]

This guy is the best and hes SO UNDER RATED.

[florisdk]

@johnpaulsialafau he is NOT under rated

[prepre73]

the story goes that he wrote the song to spell out the 4 syllables in his daughters name Angelina and if you listen carefully you can hear the song say An ge li na

[NickAtNet1]

Angelina us his daughter. In concerts he tells how he came to write this. Nice story.

[TheMadMusicMan]

The fact that somee buffoon would think an artist like Tommy would waste him time writing about some nasty bi-sexer like "Angelina Jolie" is moronic. Tommy is class act and writes true music!

[assotjena]

jjeeeee

[2006HUGO]

Brill period

[wilwarinemaltese]

semplicemente splendida...

[fngrpkn06]

Just as smooth as silk!

[LajoieAdam]

one thing about tommy, he rarely ever screws up in a live performance, that's pretty incredible if you ask me.

[samsonofdelos]

im changing my name to angelina

[jontajansson]

It doesn't really matter what solo/song/what part of song/ ANYTHING Tommy plays he always keeping the rythm with his left leg! :D

[jmoli89]

@jontajansson he plays with the guitar fixed on his right.

[JonasElZhar]

This is what i call music.

[BBoyEddyyy]

wish me luck guys im gonna try learn this LOL

[Simonsaysxxx]

@BBoyEddyyy it took me 2 months, just to learn the whole piece and im not saying its sounding perfect.

and i've been playing for 6 year...

This song makes me relax <3

[brianchoemusic]

What an amazing cure for those without inspiration.

[Kemkex]

I love this song, can play half of it on guitar :)

[FriuZ1992]

1:39 he smiles after a taken picture :)

[clickclocks]

This song is far more amazing when you know exactly how to play it on guitar. it's really difficult to play so when you see Tommy do it with ease, it's much more spectacular.

[Robandall]

As always, Tommy is magnificent.

[MrJoda10]

this is de best !!

[xxxLewisDre4mxxx]

That guy really didn't look like his voice would sound like that lol

[GuitarInuendo]

This man has been playing for over 50 years everyone. He comes to the community college where I live every few years and puts on a free show. I have talked to him and let me tell you what he said. A new pair of strings everyday...and practice until you are blue in the face and then practice some more. He is truly the greatest at his craft. There is no greatest guitar player....but there is no one greater than this guy. - quoted from Steve Vai's mouth

[DeDomsta]

Magic

[AudiTy01]

is dis song bout angelina jolie?

[infek7]

@AudiTy01 are you fuckin stupid? gtfo and die.

[fridwoow]

what a beautiful song,, he plays it so perfect, so peaceful ,,, love singing along with it,,,

[mrchrispychicken]

It can´t get better! So fantastic!!!! Tommy is the Greatest!

[Jagoogan]

this song is will be playing at my funeral

[HannekeLuna]

This song means everything to me,... my Daughter's name is Angelina:D

[fcbtim]

heard this over 4 years ago... my opinions havent changed. this is hands down one of the most beautiful songs that ive ever heard

[JesseGuitar07]

Tommy Emmanuel awesome! 10000 satrs for him!

[UnSkiLd]

How on earth did you get so clean and fluid? Simply amazing.

[xxxxTh3Jokerxxxx]

OMG XDDDD

[tekekai]

Damn Hybrid picking. . .Unreal!

[slowdive922]

@tekekai why dont you just fingerpick instead? dont see the problem.

[petercourt]

I've been learning this song, how on EARTH does he play it with hybrid picking?! Absolutely mental. Love this piece :)

[crackshotnoodles]

i play the whole thing with a thumb pick, nice and easy,

[petercourt]

@crackshotnoodles Exactly, it is easier with a thumb pick and he's doing it with a flat pick, crazy

[maciekfingerstyle]

@petercourt yeah it may be easier, but well.. I have been playing Tommys version of "Saltwater"using fingerpicking, and some day I thought it would be fun to learn to play this piece with hybrid picking. It sounds much better that way. Angelina too

[Lewey8705]

Michael Johnathon is annoying.

[iamsamk]

goosebumps every time i listen.. unbelievable

[leocechet]

somebody has the sheet?

[beezo2]

do a google search for "tommy emmanuel tabok" first hit

[Errelsoft]

Well you know, depending on how many times he searches for porn on google, his search results may differ from yours :P

[dimebagDarrellRIP]

simply put, i wanna learn everything from this man, he's unbelievable. one of his most beautiful songs.

[SaBaBa94]

He's a legendery.

[bscarl88]

yes it is, sorry the name escaped me haha

[spazza1994]

amazing :D

[bscarl88]

he uses a regular pick, but he does a finger style where he holds the pick with his pointer and thumb and plays the higher pitched strings with the rest of his free fingers

[RedElfFilms]

(called "Hybrid picking") :-)

[ZeBigStrat]

it looks like a flat pick

[gva128]

He does like Steve Howe. Does a fingerstyle with the pick on the pointer and thumb. See Steve playing, it's too interesting! :)

[nokritv]

perfect !!

[Dantezz]

i feel like my soul is at rest.

[ironfan17]

fuckin God

[Sm0keSG]

XDD lol lol lol

[McDevy]

lol, you aren't serious are you?

Angelina is his youngest daughter.

[delialah02]

@McDevy  I would like to think it's for Angelina Jolie too!!

[McDevy]

@delialah02 jesus >_>. his DAUGHTER'S name is Angelina...

[juuustinnn]

It's for his youngest daughter. The reason the piece is so simple is because he wanted to "spell" out her name w/ the melody. An - Ge - Li - Na. Four syllables.

Beautiful work.

[PietjeP92]

omg.. pls shut up

[Jamiroquai51]

Awesome.

[magicamos]

wow he's amazing

[roj1969]

ja toże ljublju emanuella . Oczeń krasiwyj gitarist :)See you

[1Zielona1]

Tommy - I Love you:)

[vdchjvgsc]

Good song...very... :-)

[mihiro2]

underrated song.. ppl should wake up and listen to this classic.. this song somehow reminds me a bit of Beatles tune :)

[han264]

epic, the best, always have my mouth slightly opened at the end of this song... stunning

[Stampe2057]

amazing so much controle he has with the pick and the guitar.

[TamrikoDavitashvili]

*****

[ma3kai3]

great song, love it so much

[wjhaye2]

its a maton. tommy's signature guitar. they are only made in Australia and cost about 3000 dollars. good luck.

[lesgvals]

Hes incredibaaaaale

[weepaul666]

what harmonics is he hitting at the end? i cant bloody find them

[Pyn2000]

check out watch?v=fU63oK_OwVU. he seems to have figured out the harmonics correctly and plays them very slowly. btw this seems like drop-d-tuning. hope that helps you

[weepaul666]

yeah i knew it was drop d. i actually learned the song but couldnt get the harmonics at the end. thanks for the vid, ill check that out

[smoggo1981]

its mainly 14th, 9th an 7th fret stuff, but dont forget the capo 2nd fret! otherwise you wont find them! =)

[weepaul666]

oh goddamn it. ive learned it without the capo. that'll be why then... doh

[logmein3546]

Theres one 6th fret harmonic on the dropped d string

[radioroidar]

The word 'genius' gets bandied about a lot these days but this man is a true master; wonderful composition skills, taste, touch and great tone, no flash for its own sake just beautiful, musical restraint.

[adihaz2]

inspiration for generations!

[gilbertgodlyddd]

Wow

[Blueslounge]

MATON - TE1.

[511132123211356]

[amypamphol]

[MiCoRoNi]

[wangkiller12345]

amazing. but aint it abit fast. ?

[heartion]

Tommy Emmanuel will play at the speed he choses! Do not question it, you petty infidel!

[emadhaunter]

lol take it easy he just ask he didnot say why hel play it fast he say aint it a bit fast lol

[heartion]

I know, I was just kidding...its hard to convey sarcasm through writing, especially when its not in context...(: P)

[poppopsix]

the faster the harder this song is to play glad you agree

[ziabella71]

Hey Tommy. Have u ever been in Italy? Think about us.

E fatti un giro dalle nostre parti!

[foxygranpa6]

Tommy: Nothing that I could add to the comments posted here would say anything that you haven't heard before, from others who know more than I.

But I do hope you can find room in your life for Philip K. Whybra, from Devon, England. He's about 15 or 16 years old, and a lot of people who know more about the guitar than I do believe that someday you will pass your torch to him. Watch and listen to his YouTube videos; you'll feel better about tomorrow's generation.

[Pkw101]

Hey foxgranpa and luckydduber im glad you like my videos but dont advertise them on other videos, its like spam.

Also, i'm no Tommy Emmanuel, people like Gareth Pearson and Kiran Murphy are who Tommy should past his 'torch' to.

[johannolsoe]

well done :=)  }-O

[familiar70]

goosebumps

[AcousticHaim]
