  • anyone has tabs from the part 0:09 to 0:12? I just can't figger it out!

  • Can i start crying now?

  • i think he got like at least 12 fingers on each hand?

    Tommy the king!

  • Ha! I love how he continues to use his favourite old and worn out guitars.

    What a legend.

  • Yeah... funny.

    :'(

  • I've been playing guitar for 35 years. TE is a freaking genius.

  • great job! i have been playing guitar for a year for a year now and i can play that song and i learned it about 2 weeks ago so am i doing ok?

  • I leaned that song in one second.... it doesn't sound exactly the same, but.... it probably sounds closer to your song

  • haha he busted into classical gas at the end there awesome

  • His guitar looks like he carries on the front bumper of his car and uses Bungie Chords to tie on with. Hell, if he would simply just Pass The Hat in the audience then perhaps they would indulge in buying him a hard shell case, with plush lining....it sure would make it appear as tho he cares a rats' ass about his instrument...!

  • Oh, for Pete's sake. You probably don't know Tommy, nor are you a musician.

  • It's called wear and tear knackers, who cares what it looks like just listen to the thing. Anyway Matons sound better after years of abuse.

  • Agreed. Who cares what it looks like. Its Tommy!

  • you obviously don't know shit about music. That warn out Martin guitar is probably worth more than your Car! Idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • well acually that SPECIFIC guitar is probably worth more than your house in reality

  • Comment removed

  • Well, let's say I do know shit about music testing123isthison....For example and for starters here, Tommy is playing a Maton Guitar.......NOT a Martin. Got that?

    And the aprox. cost of his guitar is $3,150.00.....so ummmm...who's the Idiot here...?? Go figure....!

  • Holy shit!

  • Tommy is just showing off on this version. He can really play great!

  • This guy is SICK! I'm gonna cut off my hands and burn all my guitars....

  • he is the only one, if your not joking

  • if u can't appreciate, at least don't hate. there is no drum, there is no bass, this is pure tommy emmanuel buddy and if u can't handle it then that's your problem..

  • shoe 59 and saftelskeren- I'm a player, I have TE's books and both of his videos, and guitar arrangements I've been working on Windy and Warm for nearly a year off and on. Shoe -You need to change your meds,lighten up and laugh a little. Don't buy the book ($56). unless you want his bio too. I could have gotten some of the arrangements on the internet free Get a smile.

  • because supporting an artist like tommy is a bad thing?

  • i wouldn't do it in this order ;) need to burn them first! and yes, TE is awesome

  • Billnn54, I think you missed the point. There is no band, drums, bass, or other guitars. It's all him on his own!

  • Carolkee, I think YOU missed the point :p I think Billnn54 means it ironic, TE is just so good that it seams there's a band playing with him... but in stead he's doing everything al by him self. I saw him this week and he made everybody feel good including me!! He IS the man!!

  • TE is the BEST!!!

  • Pretty good, but he would sound a lot better without the band - the drums, bass, and other guitarist.

  • This is awesome, but i prefer Chet Atkins more

  • Can I watch this again???

  • the greatest guitar player on earth!

  • what a sound! I really like to have a Maton guitar!

    Its not the guitar its whats being played, good musicians can make anything sound good.

  • evil scumbag...

  • What can I say? What a FANTASTIC guitarplayer!

  • its like he doesnt even try

  • great

  • superb

  • anybody have the tab for this tune?

  • Did you see what I just saw? Why even bother lol.

  • I respectfully disagree. Of course this is one of his easier songs since it's ultimately based on the simplistic Loudermilk original.

    However, I believe it would be inaccurate to determine ones dexterity and skill as a guitarist based solely on their ability to *discern* the notes being played in this song.

    A developed ear doesnt necessarily relate to playing ability; especially in a modern world where tab for any and everything is so widely available.

  • Jesus. And I thought Dadi was god...!

  • Good Grief! This has got to be some sort of crime! INCREDIBLE!!

  • I love the attitude of this song. I'm just discovering TE. I'm into old school and real musicians but I guess I'm too young to have heard the name. Anyway cool song

  • After watching lots of Tommy Emmanuel's videos, I don't know what to tell you. I'm a guitar player and I bet I hear things he's doing that nobody but a guitar player would get. He's on another planet.

    Now, all great guitar players have their own style, but this man exhibits creativity and proficiency (he hits EVERY note) and soul that put him far above plain old style. If you think Clapton is God that's saying more about you than Eric.

    If a guitar player is God, Tommy is it.

  • You certainly hit the nail on the head with that great comment. I saw Tommy Sunday night in Southern CA. It was my third time and it seems like he just gets better and better which seems impossible. When he played "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" I got all choked up. He is the most emotional player I've ever seen. Thanks TE!!!!

  • the greatest guitar player to ever walk to earth!

  • Hi , well ive seen and met Tommy several times and I can tell you, what ever thoughts you have about Chet or any other Guitarist will be put into context on that day. Chet is a fabulous musician but this is another level.

  • T.E. is a great performer,probably best acoustic --living but,if the audiance for Chet Atkins would have been of a broader span....................It would have raised

    his playing,and the barre ,,and for the present players. Being a (Knoxville TN bourne native.......close to Chets town)Just F>Y>I>................I wish I would have got to see Chet when he was alive,but I do plan seeing T.E. when I get a chance.

  • are you crazy? have you heard some of his original stuff?

  • NO WAY he is human. This clip is evidence that advanced extraterrestrial life forms with 10 fingers on each hand actually do exist here on Earth. Play it slowly and you'll see the extra fingers!

  • LOL! Yes, he is TE is ET! :D

  • @TEFan2007 ahahahah :) :)

  • Just posted a video of me playing this. Think I'll take it back down!

  • Very nice video!!! thx for posting.

    Regards,

    Conrad

  • One of Tommy's best renditions of W&W I have ever heard. And it looks like he's off to slipping into Classical Gas at the end. Do you have that one too?

  • Unfortunately I haven't recorded Classical Gas. I had to save some memory on my digicam so I only recorded two complete Songs (Blue Moon and Angelina) which I'll upload later. :)

  • Maybe someday...

    I'm sure that you had a great time on a gig.

    PS I'm also saving money for a Maton ;)

  • Matons sound really nice, but you have to remember that most of Tommy's sound depends on his fingers.

  • Yes, you're right...you have to learn the technique first than you can think about a better guitar.

    Anyway I can't afford a Maton... ;)
