  • Srv cover is better

  • Watching and listening this is like mainlining music. Immense talent.

  • ну ... после Томми остается только развести руками и ...

    "А МУРКУ МОЖЕШЬ??"

    величайший гитарист-акустик эпохи... WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • He is is the embodiment of awesomeness itself. There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING in the whole fucking universe that comes even close to reproducing such godliness. I would chew my legs off if that would make my even 0,00000000000000000000000001% as skilled, wise, powerful, awesome, amazing (and the list goes on to infinity)... as Tommy is. I can only hope, through unimaginable dedication and effort, that I can one day play a single song alongside him.

  • @ZeHgS its pretty easy: just play guitar for the next 40 years.

  • This man does not get enough credit. He is an extraordinary guitarist with godlike skills. I bet there arent many people raising their hands if I asked about Tommy Emmanuel, sadly.

  • the amount of times he tapped his foot.......equivalent to how many times ive watched this

  • This is just gay that I saw, duel with himself...!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HHAUhAUhaUhUAhUAaHU

  • Comment removed

  • I used to think I could play the guitar until I saw this . . .

  • That was so good just the way it should be played I like the way he makes that guitar do what he wants it to do. This is the first time Iv heard him and known about him , He really should have a guitar made in his name

  • This is art

    

  • kind a cool cause it has rockabilly beat and style with a gipsy jazz under tone

  • AWESOME!

  • why Bach should play Mozart ????

  • real nice =D

  • Tommy Emmanuel are the two guitarist i have ever heard @stijnlinnen

  • Comment removed

  • After watching this, I smashed the neck on every single guitar I own. Thanks, Tommy.

  • I can play "the house of the rising sun"...

    -.-'

  • andy mckee..

  • @sixmonthsobertv i thought of him too, they have two awesomely different styles, Both Guitar Gods in there own right.

  • i hate to see that kid not jumping out of his stool . 3:47

  • Me and a friend playing...listen you will enjoy if you are on this video i believe :) soundcloud(dot)com/evananglim/­freight-mike-paulik-and-evan

  • This piece has existed in my mind for several years, but I didn't know how or where to find it. It turned up on Facebook the other day!

  • For the dislikers: if you don't like fast and/or virtuosic playing, he does some really beautiful slower pieces too! Unfortunately it's still virtuosic. For those who think they have seen a better, more versatile guitar player, please tell us all who it is!

  • He played more notes in this song than I have in 6 years.

  • Tab, please?

  • God has a way of showing us all...that he exists......THIS FRIGGIN GUY CAN PLAY!!!.....

  • What the hell are the dislikes for??

    If I could choose between being able to play like Tommy or the ability to fly.. well I’m scared of heights anyway!

  • @Bormin69 Not everyone likes playing fast and virtuoso.

    Some people gives dislikes just for the face.

    Incredible guitarrist.

    My favorite is still Django Rheinhardt

  • He tries the play smoke on the water... but it all turns to steam, before he can get it all played!

  • looking forward for his concert in Croatia , Split .....with Vlatko Stefanovski,Stochelo Rosenberg, and one and onliy Tommy Emmanuel..../watch?v=YEJWrfZ4R­2Y

  • He may very well be the best guitarist in the world.

  • i bet he can play smoke on the water with his feet.

  • The best part- 00:00 - 3:52

  • the video is in 240p but his skill isn't in 240p

  • Song started to suck after 3:52

  • I hope the guitar was atleast 18

  • This is a guitarist that Tommy would have a blast playing with on tour ... "Scotty Anderson"

  • anyone else noticed how long his middle finger is? :O

  • the best players don't say look at what I can do, so much as say - look at what the guitar can do. Tommy conveys this in oodles!

  • Don Ross is a great player too check him out if you like tommy

  • Fuck this, I'm selling my electric for an acoustic.

  • @oviefofah Master the acoustic, and you ARE the master.

  • wierd face at 0:46

  • Dat run

  • but can he play smoke on the water?

  • @zaine51 Yes. - /watch?v=-7wAEMIAhFs

  • @zaine51 haha i actually just watched him play it! brilliant comment hahahah

  • @zaine51 i don't think his fingers would let him play that shit.

  • @zaine51 I am really starting to get tired of these un-original bastards recycling over-used, boring comments... -______-

  • @zaine51 i don't think so. he can .

  • @zaine51 Doubt it

  • @zaine51 genuine question ..

  • @zaine51 No he is retarded

  • @zaine51 what's this smoke on the water thing everybody is using now. it's not when everybody just says it on every video.

  • @zaine51 Hahahahahahaha good one

  • I used to play like that.... then I took an arrow in the knee.

  • If you liked this performance, you should him play this song 'at tempo', search for "The Original Video Tommy Emmaneul Guitar Boogie & Stevie's Blues July 2006".

  • FACE...IS.....MEL..TED

  • When he closed his eyes ,His face is very like Bruce Willis.

    But different that he has more hair.

  • Unbelievable!!

  • The best acoustic guitar player of all times

  • I've watched this video more than any other on youtube ten times over. What an amazing talent Tommy is.

  • The guy who repaired my guitar repairs TE's guitars. Closest I'll ever get!!

  • ...without a doubt the best guitarist ever...he has it all...feeling..timing...rythym­..and above all a true love and total enjoyment for his art...no other player even gets close to this man.

  • i have a 1964 maton i believe it was the only model made , bill may decided to make a similar model with more pearl inlay, but i cant get anywhere need tommy . should i give up playing now or what ?

    tony lee [australia]

  • he is a fuckin monster man Oo

  • oh shit... he is awesome O_o

  • I think this might be the most popular video on youtube in 240p.

  • thumbs up if you're watching this in 2011!

  • @evilwc912 no i'm watching this in 1473

  • love how some people have "disliking videos on youtube" as their hobby just for the heck of it.

    how the fuck could anyone fucking dislike this..

  • this guy is amazing

  • He is not a human!!!

  • I am thinking there are 324 people who either have no ability to discern talent, or they are just jealous over their inability to play like this! How can you not appreciate his talent, even if it isn't your style??

  • good chicken pickin'....

  • Did he just sweep pick with an acoustic?! Holy shit this guy is the bomb!

  • I would give my left hand to be able to play guitar like him.

  • every note perfect

  • 240p...who cares? He sounds awesome!

  • Tommy Emmanuel are the best two guitarist i have ever heard

  • @stijnlinnen not only heard ;)

  • Hitler,Justin Beiber and Tommy Emmanuel is going to hell. The Devil is sitting on his throne and looks to Hitler. Why are you here. I killed 20 million people and cased the holocast for the jewish people. Very good, says the devil. You can sit on my right side. Why are you here Justin. I poisend the mucis world with my faggy voice. Very nice you can sit on my left side. The Devil looks to Tommy. Why are you here. Tommy says. Get the hell of my throne bitch.

  • ah, guy who always meets 240p again... we meet again

  • @danielholmgren1 LOL extrawin

  • @danielholmgren1 do you search only 240 vids ?

  • @danielholmgren1 good one!

  • its been like 5 years now since i started learning guitar. the first song i learned was dust in the wind. i really love guitar picking songs. Everytime i watch tommy's videos, it makes me look like a complete noob when it comes to playing guitar. T_T

  • He rapes his guitar. Fucking genius.

  • I wish i could have many people to check my covers,Id like different opinions,I want from you guys just to spread my channel and my covers a bit . just by seeing 'em it would be enough for me. I need your help,I started this thing 1 year ago to keep improving my guitar skills and to see if i worth a bit playing those stuff,and till now few people have seen those

    I want just a simple thing from you , i wont say a thumbs up but if thats the way of helping me id really appreciate it . ! Thank you

  • Damn it! This guy deserves at least 1080p, not 4 moving pixels!

  • I think I came with him at the end

  • i have wached a lot of music videos but this is the best i ever hear!!!

  • I sure hope that guitar was 18...

  • He's okay I guess.

  • The talent makes you forget all about 240p

  • His left leg walked a few miles there...

  • @1977BanditTransAM Imagine that there is a chewin' gum under his leg:D

  • @1977BanditTransAM according to my calculations, he had a tempo of roughly 235 bpm, which equals 3,92 p/s, let's assume he continuously taps the foot until the outro at 3:17, gives us a duration of 194,28 seconds. Which means he tapped the foot 760 times (roughly) Let's say the average distance his foot travels on every tap is 5cm, his leg actually walked 38 meters, or 124 ft.

  • @Hakan625

    I liked this back just because you took the time to actually do this... great job man... (seriously)

  • @1977BanditTransAM hahahah I'm glad we both had a good laugh =)

  • @Hakan625 38 metres is still a long way for 1 foot to walk in 3 minutes, considering the owner of said foot was sitting down.

  • @Hakan625 do you pay attention in maths or what.

  • Comment removed

  • @1977BanditTransAM nice is it

  • @1977BanditTransAM a few miles?? it went around the world like twice lol

  • My jaw dropped at the 0:50 decending , and then stayed there . Good Lord man , couldnt you have left the rest of us a little talent to share among ourselves. ?

  • He is good yet everybody knows that Chuck Norris could play a better performance with his feet...

  • @klksplsor ok, when are you going to let the chuck norris jokes go? The only people who think they're even remotely funny are the people who post them.

  • That Tommy guy knows how to play the guitar a little.

  • close your eyes and listen

  • LMAO I can see the jealousy in that guy at the end, hell I would give both of my arms to play like that.....oh wait..

  • 0:44 *___* <3

  • great

  • that was amazing....ly bad......ass

  • Even scratching his face between 1:33 and 1:36 (or whatever he's doing) doesn't stop the insanity...

  • @TheJonesyable Moved the mike out of the way I think.

  • simply everything is played so damn perfect by Tommy...simply amazing. I'm looking forward to be only half as good as him one day :)

  • woooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • Wow my goodness. That run starting at 0:50 is just so much out of reach. 98% of all guitarists in this world I bet would at least struggle to keep that tempo going. Tommy plays it as if he had a built in metronome.

  • @Johi2410 that is the craziest part, how he keeps time SO well despite all the crazy stuff going on

  • @ob1knobdc

    Yeah. Just amazing :-)
