[Musicismylife1234567]

[maikel017]

I've seen him live yesterday here in saendam (near amsterdam) in holland he was amazing :|

I never seen any guitarist play the acoustic guitar live he does

[1onliz2000]

it's beautiful!

[teamvodafone88]

He is awesome, if i could play half as good as him id be happy

[qqq1q]

this guy is incredible, he is easily my favorite acoustic guitarist of all time!

[jorges05]

What is the name of this piece?

commenet s'appele ce morceau ? Qui est l'auteur? Thanks fellow!

[Beyondward]

arguing about music and guitarists is foolish.

[conedandstoned]

Go Tommy ya home town Parkes is proud of you mate,,yep a true blue aussy this bloke!!!!he lived behind my aunty and everytime her dog had pups him and all his brothers took one,bet you didnt know tommy cant read one note of music,,its all ear,honest,i know the family and him real well,top person is tommy ,so down to earth

[Cyberkini]

@MistehrDeanoez:

the neck bendings had an effect. go watch again and listen very detailed to it.

and even when theres no hearable effect it is something for himself getting in the right feeling to play that song.

ps: i love reading youtube coments from people, which just want to show there own experience and professionalism by posting shit what no one wants to read. :)

[ThrobnWood]

An Australian great that I've not seen in years.

[MistehrDeanoez]

lol, whats he playing at, bending the neck to no affect, jsut look at him! he's not as good as he obviously thinks he is :/

[incredibletuber]

your an idiot hes a guitar genius. id like to see you play like that, your still probably trying to figure out how to drop top e into drop D or dont even play.

[MistehrDeanoez]

ahhaah yeah sure, whats all that neck bending about?

and no, i wouldnt, just as he most probably wouldnt be able to play the type i do

and fyi, dropping its E not e

[bassmasta505]

are you a fucking moron, he is amazing and why dont you open your fucking ears bending the neck acts as a whammy bar to cock stain

[MistehrDeanoez]

yeah i can see thats what he was intenting, except, it didnt quite have that effect. go play some bass, its dead fun! .......

[knaper4]

Why is the other guy even on the stage? Tommy can play his own backing just fine!

[resopicker]

what the hell was that bendddd right after the shot of the other guitarist watching? Did he bend the entire neck....geesh! I'ma gonna burn my guitar...damn!

[herecomesthemonster]

if your so good mozart then why dont i see u on youtube. this guy is a very good guitar player. no emotion and too much speed? so why do the crowd cheer and enjoy it. hmmm.

[nuthinbutnet2323]

although i agree the mozarthendrix guy is an idiot, your argument kind of sucks. crowds cheer and enjoy some of the crappiest music and that doesnt make the performers they are cheering for, good musicians.

[mozarthendrix]

fingerpicks cheating!!! this song isnt hard at all but he speeds it up and adds more notes. no emotion? too much speed

[scribbles8675309]

ok mozarthendrix even if you say hes cheating hes still amazing your obviously musically retarded he adds his own shit to the song its called a remake many people remake songs and add something of their own to it the original mad world was upbeat it was recently redone by gary jules and he made it slow so before you say he sucks because of too much speed look at the example i just gave you

[nuthinbutnet2323]

cheating? how is that cheating? this is music not some game. and so what if he sped it up and added notes, if he played the same exact thing mason williams did what the hell would be the point on covering it? he incorporated his own style into the song and did a great job.

[guitarthing]

its gas not gaz lol

[jkruger83]

I walked into the livingroom today and my dad had a dvd, It was of Tommy Emanuel. At first I had no interest and then an hour later I realized I was totally sucked in! This guy is a genius at the guitar. He is essentially playing the entire band's part at once! Truly a very neat thing to watch and hear. I am going to see him in concert in june!

[PiptheOC]

Walk Don't Run certainly came out of nowhere.

[Kallegubben]

Hes Awesome!

[Stefan199]

His thumb is independent from his fingers :D... Try to play Windy and Warm that is a good song to get this independence started.

[maximus50238]

wow! that sounds like more than one guitar! how does he do that?

[Kurac85]

he has fingerpicks

[woworre]

heh i dident mean that i just wrote..!

[drippypoo]

this man raped mason williams i'm f8ilin da charges....

[Distephano]

and that ladies and gentlemen is how you put emotion into your guitar.

[aussiegerrard]

brilliant player and he's an Aussie

[countryfied]

sweet

[DRTtom]

I love the way he taps his foot. He is crazy good.

[hueseph]

I've Seen Mr. Emanuel play live. He's no slouch and definitely not sloppy. I was about 6 feet away from him in a small club. Rik Emmett came out after saying how nobody wanted to go on stage after him.

[linxinho]

I think he is talented! very technical, but don't like his version anywhere near as much as Mason Williams.

[hueseph]

Consider that Mason Williams had an orchestra backing him and Mr. Emanuel here is alone with just an acoustic guitar. How do you like it now?

[TeamCannabis]

Far out! it's a gas, gas, gas!

[m86ichael]

listen to phil emmanuel, tommy's brother also a great player but sadly didnt amount to any level of fame

[sparkfromtex]

i would sell my soul to whomever to play guitar like this guy, makes clapton and all other players ive always thought were incredible look like novices.

[LennonLove]

has anyone ever heard his versions of daytripper and lady madonna,tis unreal.

[TykaeTaka]

I love that song ... everyone have a tab or notes?

[Edoss1]

It's amazing, I can play the original Classical Gas with ease but when i attempted this one i was stomped in the 3rd bar!

[MasterCollecter]

ranks with doyle dykes. michael hedges. bola sete, pierre bensusan, leo kotke, and bert janzch as best acoustic ever.best elet/gatton-breaus/s. anderson

[rhythmike]

sloppy my arse.... nice on mate loved it

[bennyb4455]

how could u say sloppy...It's AMAZING!!!

[beksinski369]

Not sloppy whatsoever.

[Thexderx]

sloppy? Obviously you know nothing about guitar playing or music. Ehy do people always have to critisize? Just listen & enjoy or turn it off!

[thastankanator]

sloppy but original I guess...

[spartacus087]

haha right man. he hits every note

[cpr0089]

lol, i'm sorry. apparently you're the best guitarist in the world. post a vid of yourself playing champ, then we'll see who's sloppy!

[Lindsay1000]

you're an idiot thastankanator. Sloppy???

[vudukungfu]

Man, I gotta practice more, again, even.

[RichJones88]

my bro went and saw Tommy when he was in Town, and i didnt go but i really wish i did this is really cool.x

[sfng21]

bitchin' Dude plays a wicked axe

[Moloth]

....

...

WOW. O_O

excellent!

[haineux]

The song he drops in the middle is "Walk Don't Run," one of the other most popular instrumental guitar songs ever, made famous by The Ventures in the early Sixties. (They didn't write it, but they recorded several of the most popular versions of the song ever.)

[haineux]

"Classical Gas" was a huge smash hit written by Mason Williams, a folsky talking/singing/guitar-playing performer rather like Arlo Guthrie ("Alice's Restaurant"). Unfortunately, none of Mason's other material was nearly as popular, but he was OK with that, just putting it on every single one of his records. Mannheim Steamroller also did a notable version of the song.

[777VAI777]

dude...sick :D

[Mortytheclown]

+1 to that!

[shunga666]

w00t!
