Classical Gas - Tommy Emmanuel

[AcousticHaim]

You need to work a lot with your timing :-)

[ishandev111]

increadible...

:-o

[helixmh]

apart from the obvious thumbpick constantly hitting the top of the guitar at 1:33-1:37 and 2:50-2:56 this is bloody awesome! but try and make it your own and not just a carbon copy of tommys version, there are far too many tommy wannabees on you tube as it is! and there are only a handfull that can pull it off! beast of a tune to learn though...check out my mason williams version with some of my own flavor added in, safet

[TincHoH95]

DUde,like 13hussmeister said,forget all the negative,but you're only playing with the fingers,you need to put more soul in this!!,it sounds a nine, you have to reach the 10!!

By the way,you're awsome

[unbitchable]

its always an asian! :(

[bcji2008]

@unbitchable who writes shit like this? pathetic!

[unbitchable]

@TyneGibbs12 ?

[TheDoocman]

Really nice! Have any1 thought bout that no cover I've seen have been like the original TE version. But this, I'm sure of, is not about you not hearing the notes that TE really plays, it's just that you though that your way of playing it sounds cooler or fits your style better, or atleast, thats what I've experienced when I play this song by myself. Why this shows so much on this song, is probably cause its very difficult. Sry for my bad english, but I had to see if more agree with me

[13hussmeister]

Keep at it! You're almost there! NEVER listen to negative people--your conscience and your ear will let you know where you need to adjust.

[MusoJTM]

Good job

[f1nesave]

bravo :)

[kleinebudde]

Incredible. How have you been practicing that song?

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

attack of the super cool asain rofl

[MrUndeuxtrois456]

Nice one dude !!

[TheMinims]

This is the best cover i've seen. Very Very good : )

[fishingriver]

I had stopped believing in monsters, until I heard this.

[HankShermann]

a mi me sale mejor

[Laggalaggadingdong]

Haha, sweet

[TheReilly8]

how does this not have more veiws u nailed it man

[vovweb]

video play x2-x4 )))

[BlueScrn]

This must be one of the best covers I've seen.

[eddieVDmeer]

can i have tabs?

[sinfuldavy0]

FANTASTIC RENDITION

[guildfordrunner]

i knew the second that i saw he was asian someone would be racist i have a couple of words for you SHUT THE FUCK UP CUNTS you probably dont have lives just sitting on the computer and like a hundre fucking kilos

[therealsporadicaarmy]

i didn't even notice, maybe the quality

[nashistic]

umm at least, he tries to be different. I think people who criticize or use ethnic slur are the ones who can't play.

[thebecks89]

I like T. Emmanuels interpretation of Classical Gas best and you did a great job! :-)

5*

[fabfob90]

how you play the intro

[UlionX]

Korean's.. GO BACK TO THE PIANO

[pigrogromitus]

UlionX.. GO BACK TO SCHOOL. There's no apostrophe in the word 'koreans'. Douche.

Nice skills HoJun Lee!

[UlionX]

It was just a joke man??

[nashistic]

Maybe, you should stop making them because it's not funny at all.

[88888888Ozzy88888888]

Wow, funny stuff man...

[IndicaSative]

out of time often, and no passion. he should tap his foot

[DBoVolente]

Noo sooometimes he's out of time...but not often...but you're right maybe he should tap his foot...

nice job dude 5*

[9kolajbertelsen]

youre right

[newz2me28792]

he's way too fast,hectic and just damn busy, if you want my opinion.And when do you intersperse parts of some club music garbage like "Gloria"into Classical Gas?

Gas? Yes...

Classical...not so much...but you have skills,friend. Just slow down and put in more feel and less freneticism. Like the overall sound.

Simon Cowell says you advance to the sing off with William Hung.

good luck, monsieur.

[Beatboxer157]

It's a rendition of Tommy Emmanuel version of Classical Gas.

[voltaspeeder17]

Oh man, your good!!

[muzzajg]

Good one man !!

[punims]

uhhh ... it was wrong and rushed ... He has good technique and speed that's for sure but the way he played the song was horrible I couldn't listen to it anymore.

[djxplosionstyle]

Where can i find the tabs?

[djxplosionstyle]

0:59 is awsome

How does he do that?

[VirusBarrier]

Version of Lars de Rijck is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy much better.

[theplagy]

wow,

best tommy version cover ever?

[musicisfusion]

Nice work...

[ak47mustang]

this is kinda robotic sounding

[jackthefuckingblack]

exactly, no love

[ak47mustang]

now that I'm listening to it again it's fine as long as you don't listen to Tommy playing it first :p

[whitefalcon112]

I agree with Dny3p3r Perfect!!!

[saftelskeren]

he falls out of pace alot

[whitefalcon112]

lol, no he doesn't. also can you play this its not easy?

[saftelskeren]

yes he does, and yes i can play it and no its not easy

[6ixstringed]

He doesn't fall out of pace (and please don't respond with yes he does), he just times certain notes differently, that's probably what you're hearing. It's all valid though and he keeps the pace perfectly.

[saftelskeren]

yeah, thats what i meant:P my english is not the best it can be, glad were on the same page though

[jazzpsalti]

That is incorrect. Right at 0:41 he pulls in another 8th. And he never drops one later. That's a time goof... and I don't know why anyone would intentionally mis-learn a piece of music.

[Dny3p3r]

perfect.

[ligoter]

Nice work, I'm off to see Tommy tonight in SF hope he plays this

[rollinondariva]

Hey, around 1:45 you are supposed to start screaming and beating your head againt the microphone!

[6ixstringed]

Comment of the year award!

[fenderiloveu]

best cover of this song!!

well done!

[foruwoaman]

PERFECT ~~~

[Torfinnmadssen]

Would just like to point out this isn't Tommy's song, it's Mason Williams. But Tommy certainly made it his own by making this arrangement :)

Great playing.

[PartScavenger]

Dude, that was insane! Nice Job!

[dobroman09]

After hearing TE play this song I really didn't want to listen, but now that I did...WOW! Amazingly close to Tommy's version. Super job!

[piotraap]

nice try

[mick26051992]

where was the drum solo???

haha wow that was amazingly good!

[supervantuss]

good !!!!!

[jacksonmusic666]

very well done!!

[castellammare1]

Minchia !!!!!!

Ma chi sei? Mago merlino

Fantastico

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

awesome cover but wheres the passion, none of these insanely talented asian guitarists ever have any passion

[Hoyle00cdn]

I'd have to agree with at least this video, I don't think I'm qualified to comment on the passion of all asian guitarists. It does however look like he's concentrating more on what he's play rather than getting lost in the music. Either way this guy played it very well. We're just used to watch Tommy Emmanuel bounce around on his guitar.

[metalhz]

Perfect.

[eaars]

I dont know how you do it but you make that song look so easy! you play very smoothly and naturally with a thumbpick, which i find an absolute bitch to do! you must have had lots of practise! well done

[LoveTheTubeX]

SWEEET!

[vdols]

Excellent.

[js182nfgbn]

amazing like really amazing,but fuk that hat hahaha

[SRMnM]

Applaude!!! Classic, welldone!

[tazzarman]

Most brill,just one thing,how does one become so good,it has to be a god given talent,no matter how much i practice i could never play half as good as you,again fantastic guitar playing,any good tips!

[Dzaremb]

Played really good!! :)

but it's mechanical for me.

And where are emotions? Do you feel this song? I'm afraid you don't... :/

Think about it and you'll play perfectly ;]

[SRMnM]

its smoooooooth. very smooth!!!

[Richgoddamnit]

Why so many thumbs down. I agree. This song is just stuff you sell or show off with. If I could play this, I'd show off with it but I wouldn't learn it cause it's so nice to play and listen to... It's just cool...

[mattjamesdoyle]

yeh same here where's the emotion??

good playin though :)

[robalvarad]

too serious man... it isn't pleasant to see u playing unless i focus all my attention on what u r doing with the guitar..good playing overall..

[xRisingForcex]

isn't that the point of all meaningful music?

there's absolutely -no- way you can understand the full depth of any amazing piece of music from giving it a halfass listen

[cheerydavie]

so skilful but so natural. More please!

[guitardom]

Too fast and mechanical or something .Otherwise good playing overall .

[zomgchocobo]

hence the (tommy emmanuel) he's got the same tempo as him, so how is he too fast?

[js182nfgbn]

you no nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SvenualSpiel]

doesnt seemto have the soul i can hear its emptiness.. but obviously well pulled off

[Msquickly]

Masterful! More please!

[saljorim]

MAN O' MAN, Your mom and dad must've put a guitar in your crib the day you were born. You are one slick guitar player.

[Bluesguitarman64]

Very good !

You got Tommy "spirit".

Rob (Italy)

[sathomaso]

well played dude .... may i ask where u got the tabs from?

[hundkora]

Hey so cool - Very Very good

[CATSPONGE]

Stunning - nice one.........

[larkie57]

Wonderful...fluid and confident...so skilful but so natural. More please!

[larkie57]

Wonderful...fluid and confident...so skilful but so natural. More please!

[Fotball92r]

Awsome!

Could u send me the Tab please? :P

[pwrsplys]

Wow... really cool... did you download Tommy into your head via midi? Serious.. your playing is just great... don;'t stop..

[kjdulin]

Awesome, you look so relaxed and confident in the video. Incredible performance.

[gammaray0wn]

Some tempo issues but overall wow - best tommy version of classical gas ive heard (apart from tommy OFC!).

[ODDLEGS51]

This guy is a cool cat no doubt about it. Tommy is Tommy, but what the hell, if you heard it but could not see it, would you really know who it was playing? Good stuff, and makes my Mason williams version look sick.

[fringezipp]

Outstanding !!! I'll second that !!!

[Tom07LFC]

an excellent version but not as fluent and as free as tommy does it

[gatiszvejnieks]

Fantastic!  5/5 stars

[BarneyFife00]

I could play it if I had his hat!! Seriously though, that was great!!

[ennh999]

wow, he's slapping that monkey incredibly- he does not even look at his playing and play it calmly, you need to put more energy into it do not be shy -anyway I'm your fan cause you are the second man to play this!

[robibm2003]

Outstanding!

[conni93]

GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAT!!!!!!!!! I would give 50/5 for this video but its not possible. sorry...

Thx for posting

Regards,

Conrad

[dj2sora]

can I just say..........daaaaaaaaaaaaaaam­n....thank you...

[yarell19]

You are a better player that Tommy + younger better looking and a host of other things in your favor.

[Classicalgtarboi]

Dude, youre ahead of yourself. This guy's got a while to go. Im not putting him down or anything, but there were alot of mistakes in this.

[TheOrganHero]

This was nicely done but there is only one person that person that can play it like Tommy and that's Tommy him self.

[Classicalgtarboi]

agreed.

[feldsmann2]

ok, now tell me the truth. There is a stereo playing tommy emmanuel behind it, isn´t? :p

damn fucking good, now he only needs to be crazy on stage like tommy!

[vinothelizard]

shhhhhhiiiiiitttttt man  !

[Mohrenk0enig]

like the original.

[AXmichigan]

nice

its like tommy emmanuel

only with out that weird thing he always does with his right leg

[fila365]

actually he does it with his left leg,if he would keep the tempo with his right leg the guitar would bounce all over the place lol

[mgbdub2007]

Nice. Well Done.

[AcousticHaim]

DON'T Be Scared to smash the guitar dude:P

Just pumch hard to get a real good sound..

Nice played

[gingerbreadeddie]

you just need all the crowd cheers that tommy gets and itd be perfect!

[moloko89]

no he just need passion energie and a bit of improvisation, then it would be perfect

[conartist321]

excellent. 5 stars.

[valares88]

SUPER!

[ed6810]

Awesome job dude - loved your playing. Bitchin' hat too :D

[thestig2006]

i could listen to this song for hours and never get sick of it

[AnTreasach]

Absolutely fantastic cover! Although I do have to agree that this is played offbeat quite a bit, without a doubt. Listen closely again and you'll hear it.

[gentlerhino]

It's a very nice spunky, Tommy Emmanuelish version! Well done! And, guys, there is NOTHING off beat here. Original Williams' version has 4 or 5 beat changes from 4/4 to 3/4 to 5/6 and back to 4/4 etc.

[funzie182]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dude!!!!!!

[franswa69]

CHINAMAN!

[AcousticHaim]

Need rythm, Else good.

[XAngelicusX]

i just cant get it, how could a great player like you can play offbeat like that

[XAngelicusX]

very well played. ur a talented guitarist. a little bad point, it is obvious that ur off beat sometimes

[jackaldot70]

excellent nice to see a real musician. very good version of classical gas. how old are you? . you look as though you may have years ahead to practice . could be as good if not better than tommy emmanuel. thanks for posting and good luck. hope you do well soon. very impressed..

[h2oparadise]

Well !! it s...really a good job :D

[doc21tem]

fuckin sweet dude... obviously anyone posting negativity about this vid doesn't play the guitar and they just want to be like Tommy. You keep rockin man and you'll get there. Way better than my version, thats all I'm gonna say...

-sRq

[mijarmi86]

amazing... that's so hard to play this song... he's really great

[niamhemer]

Excellent! Tommy,s versions are mind blowing, but lets give credit where credit is due, this guy is an outstanding virtuoso guitar palyer.

[tucumalo]

Fantastic

[vsampaio]

Nice try Lee.. Almost there. Just let yourself feel the music and your timings will improve. keep practicing..

[kazmelm213]

love the intro

[FlandyG]

my apologies breedsnumba4 was takin the piss out of that wee prik cillerxx he still sucks his maws wanger, didnt realise you were givin this guy sum kudos

[clomas40]

awesome job

[cillerxx]

timings off.

[Vinoga]

YOU ARE CRAZY!!!!!!

[Nirvana87]

a little bit like Miyavi, huh?:P in any case, nice playing

[garytelecastor]

Very nice. Tasty

[hayabusaryder]

That was great!! forget what superskwrl said he probably doesnt know a single guitar chord.. or any musical talent for that matter

[superskwrl]

yikes that was bad

[hayabusaryder]

your bad! you probably cant even play a guitar let alone pick one up

[BreedsNumba4]

you dont have a fuckin clue dude. TE's version of classical gas is one of the hardest, if not the hardest song to play. When you post a video of you playing this version (or any version of that matter) any better than this guy, then you can talk. Until then. . . STUFF IT wannabe

[cillerxx]

doesn't change the fact that the timings off.

[cillerxx]

way off.

[futureinand]

Well done !!!

[2doorsdown]

you guys are retarded, asking for tabs when clearly these were right off the internet.

learn to search google.

[jojojosmart]

Dang rude- you got that down. I love it- got the tabs?

[Gregman11]

well done, you are very good. can u tell me a tab or somthing u used to learn this?

[aachen2007]

you´re agood one and more training.

[romford25]

WOW! It is the best version here on youtube ( after Tommy, of course) :)))

01.00 - nice!

[thecandycane]

sweet

[ll3023]

Wonderful!!!

[2doorsdown]

what i find particularly odd is your ability to play Phundified by Justin King w/ incredible precision but play classical gas, with little sense of rhythm

[carlidomin]

Lol, not many ppl understand how to play such a song like that. So what if he's not screaming like a frikking retard everytime he strikes a chord? So long as the rhythm sticks to a good theme, good timing, and ll that stuff, and the audience enjoys it, then they are in the song.

[tommmmmmmmmc]

that bit on 1.:03 is propper good man n u played it wel

[teumut]

Nice one, whoever commented about asians not having feelings?? Top stuff thanks!

[chaospisser]

very nice playing! i try to play it but i'm too bad now. the only thing i don't like is your timing. try playing with a metronome!

[Jebowski]

very intense... just try to show your energy and passion like Emmanuel (body language!) and you'll be set. Great work!

[stereoview]

backslash2k3 = pinhead

[backslash2k3]

Asians don't have feelings.

[doh0702]

you got to be kidding me. true this guitarist over here isn't putting himself IN the music, but how dare you talk of people who are NOT you when you don't know two shit about them. fuck you and your stereotyping judgement. bitch

[doh0702]

you got to be kidding me. true, this guitarist over here isn't putting himself IN the music, but how dare you undermine a massive group of people who are NOT you when you don't know two shit about them. fuck you and your stereotyping judgement. bitch

[rockerkid13]

look whos talking. look at urself at the mirror u think ur cooler than asians or others? think twice dick!!

[adam2369er]

wtf u rock like awsome guitar

[quikieemart]

i dont care what anyone else says. YOU ROCK. tommy's version is pretty damn hard to play like that. good job

[2doorsdown]

asdas

[2doorsdown]

Sorry Dude, you play well w/ the other Stuff, but your classical gas has no passion.
