@menski123456 yes, at his GENRE, there cant be 1 best guitarist in the world. You have the best classical guitar player, best finger picking guitarist and so on.
sounds great but the zooming in an out and in and out an in and out is V. poor. see me after class, you did not listen to a word on the video course!!!
@ floridajeet I always laugh when i listen to him and start crying when i try to play his songs ;) it's not fair that he can play this with a smile on his face while i nearly break my fingers and do not sound half as good^^ he's the best!
I love how this song is actually like riding the rain in a foreign country. Watching the landscape pass by, thinking about life. Watching hills, mountains, small houses. Getting away from something, or maybe going back.
That poor guitar. It was just laying in its case all cozy. Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching. The guitar thought, "oh $@%^...here come Tommy."
@azahnd82 Emmanuel has an impeccable technique. Had the guitar the capacity, I would imagine the guitar feeling similarily to a woman about to have a romantic encounter with a highly skilled lover.
freak of nature. I can play about 40 seconds of this song (when I play it) but I think he does it in about 5 seconds. ;D Australia's finest guitarist, if not the World's!
This man wields the guitar as if it is simply an extension of his brilliant mind. wow! Of my short list of to do's, I must see Tommy Emmanuel and The Doobie Bros. guess I better book some flights before it's too late! Incredible
And I haven't even mentioned the fact that Tommy is a born entertainer who doesn't only know how to play his guitar like no other, but he also knows how to play the crowd..
Comparing Tommy Emmanuel to a boy like Lars is blasphemy.. Sure, the kid is a decent player, but he misses speed, accuracy and most of all the feeling to play a complicated song like this the way it should be played.. Some of Lars covers (which were live on tv!) were complete trainwrecks (no pun intended), he missed a lot of notes and couldn't even keep up with his own playing..
I hate all these noobfans that are comparing a genius like Tommy E with a nobody like Lars from a dumb moneymaking commercial show Holland's got talent. Learning existing notes and copying them and covering doesnt go under the talentsection people.
No tommy isnt a noobfan its funny how you actually can make that deduction.. anyways tommy loves everyone that plays guitar it doesnt matter if he sucks or rules.. but in this matter of TALENT shows it should be the ones that rule that get in the finalshow not the ones that have none and cover songs. Besides ive never said Lars sucked but i said he's no way near a TE. Cause people are actually comparing them and thats whats bothering me.
Don alder is cool, Andy McKee is simply amazing, and there are so many more great guitarists in this world but in my humble opinion Tommy is the best. I can't explain it but his music is like no one else'.
@glorygiver Hi! I Since I knew him, I always say "This guy just unlock a melody code.... " He just found the way to make horribly good music with as he said "simple chords..." Yeah right! jeje bottom line, he is just amazing...
@glorygiver Tommy Emmanuel is 1000x better than Andy Mckee, Andy Mckee plays one weird style, thats it, Emmanuel can play and write anything, Andy Mckee isn't even top 500 probably, LO FUCKING L.
@glorygiver his music is just raw and emotional and it is technical performance at its best. the other guys are mainly just technical players. they are good at playing but they havent got the soul yet.
Lars is zeker goed, net zoals Luuk Janssen, die ook niet vergeten mag worden.
Trouwens, dit is het enige filmpje waarin ik Tommy een fout zie maken (2:45, hij slide een fret voorbij) maar daar kan hij natuurlijk makkelijk een miljoen perfecte performances tegenover zetten xD
Ja, ik weet dat een trein snel gaat. Ik bedoel dat zelfs de grote meesters moeten nadenken over hoe snel ze iets spelen zodat t ook nog te begrijpen is voor mensen die het nog nooit gespeeld of gehoord hebben. Het publiek dus.
Ja, hij zou t inderdaad veel beter kunnen dan lars, zeker weten. Maar hier vind ik dat hij dat niet doet.
De grote meesters denken niet na over wat ze voor het publiek zouden moeten spelen maar denken na over wat voor hun t fijnst voelt, in dit geval dus een snel nummer.
We do because english is the most important foreign language in every german school.
Every pupil has to learn english for at least 3-4 years.
If you ever visit Germany, you will experience, that you can communicate in english without any problems. There will only occure problems with people older than 45 years i guess, because english was not that important in school 30-40 years ago.
i disagree. I live a few km' from the german border, ive been on an exchange with my school to a german school (which was in the ruhr gebiet) and i was amazed by how poor the children speak and understand english. I do believe it is getting better but mostly germans speak only their own language very well.. no offence, there's a lot of germans who find it a shame too i think. peace (L)
I just placed the intro solo on my site check it out not yet thewhole song cause im working on a other song next time it will be my turn on hollands got talent:P:P
Lars plays with no feeling because he doesnt understand every note he plays. On the other hand Tommy does cause he invented the freaking song you ignorant baffoon. And ow yeah Lars totally played it out of rhitm and missed like a million notes.
thats not part of the issue you moron.. (eventhough I can play a couple of TE songs I wont take credit for his songs and more importantely I wont ever go on a Talent show and fucking cover a guitar song)
Im pointing out that TE is soooooo many times better than that Lars-idiot..people tend to forget that.. and I guess your one of them besides I have a feeling you dont even know TE on the other hand I met TE LOL!
it is part of the issue: ur talking like mr. arrogant while you aren't even in the same league as Lars! Its a shame lowlifes like u get the chance to meet Tommy... If he would know you posted this, he would be ashamed to have a fan like you!
How in gods name could you say that.. that would mean someone is just using another artist and taking all the credits for it.. and if he did cover a song than do it CORRECT.. and dont rape the whole thing.
I think "rape the whole thing" is a (huge) exaggeration. But ok, that's a matter of opinion...
And using each other's work is commonly accepted in music-land. If you pay royalties and mention the original artist's name it's all fine. And mostly considered an act of appreciation.
I'm completely with you on that matter(thats a first) but the show isn't about showing apreciation, it's about showing your real talents. And covering a guitar-song is not showing your talents, its just learning notes out of your head and playing them in the same exact order. On the other hand singing is.. because grasping the notes you need to sing a beautifull melody does need talent and a serious case of genetics.
Partly true. Singing requires more physical talent then guitar playing because your instrument is actually your body. Guitar playing is less of a genetic talent but you still can't make a robot play guitar as good as a person. You need a lot of feeling to play it well. So any guitarist would tell you that covering a guitar song does require major talent!
Anyway I'm quiting this argument, it's not really relevant to the video (which is AWESOME btw. :-)
God bless youtube. Because the music media industry would never understand his raw awesome genius, how the fuck do you not see this kind of guitarist on tv? Today's music sucks.
shut the fuck up you goober piece of shit. yeah nobody understands tommy emmanuels tortured genius LMAO.... tommy emmanuel is a cheesy douche bag only concerned with flashy crowd pleasing junk. its always funny to see musical elitists that think they get music on some deeper level and they listen to metal and shit like yngwie malmsteen. what a joke
Wow man, you totally missed my point. Do you think the media industry would hire this aged solo artist, or pick semi nude girls just whoring themselves on videos, with rich fucking rappers bragging about how much more money they have than you. They do what sells, sex sells along with money. Your arguments have no point at all, you just sound ignorant. There is barely any talent at all in any music nowadays. If they recognized talent, he would be on television, not 50 cent or fall out boy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The crowd only laughs because it's the Tommy Emmanuel who makes the bad jokes. I reallllly like his music and skills, but he's cocky.. that's what i don't like too.
Here's the bottom line. I don't think he planned that, but who cares? I'd bet he threw it in there just to see if any jackasses on youtube would see it. lol.
dont u just luv it how every comment on tommy's videos are all posititve? lets keep it that way, because tommy is not only a very skilled guitarist who has become an icon, but is very passionate about what he does, and continues to amaze his audiences. and thats something special. Go tommy!
the rhythm that tommy puts in his playing is just phenomenal!! everything else is great too, but i really love the rhythmic energy that drips from the music :D
I can't believe you're all still arguing over one dodgy note :-) It's hard not to make a mistake or fifty when you're playing a song at 180 beats per minute. Guys like Tommy don't care about a bum note anyway, they're too busy playing great music.
I Usually don't like t get involved in musical disputes over accomplished artists, but the harmonized line at 2:46 is not an incorrect note. He is using a harmonic minor scale, and that note is a major 7th, as opposed to the minor 7th in a natural minor. This is fitting because he is playing over a V chord. In this situation some musicians will call it a dominant prolongation. And yes, the major 7th is part of a dominant V chord.
It's a natural 7th ('super locrian' if you will) over a natural minor idea. It is not uncommon to drop into a harmonic minor momentarily in that situation. Old Jazz trick and a sly one at that.
are you talking about that one note that kinda stuck out? I'm NOT someone who knows the technical issues in music. I did get to see Tommy play at the House of Blues, New Orleans, Louisiana on 21 July 2008 and was sitting about 8 feet in front of him - needless to say, no words can describe that night... wow
His right hand is real monster!

The crowd only laughs because it's the Tommy Emmanuel who makes the bad jokes. I reallllly like his music and skills, but he's cocky.. that's what i don't like too.

Let me guess ... you feel massively jealous that someone with that level of skill can make light of it?

@GibsonGuitarist666 back then, being talented made you hot. nowadays, being hot makes you talented and that's why the popular music these days suck.

@ZeBigStrat agree, otherwords: when the sun of culture stays low, the gnomes throw long shadows as well.

Here's the bottom line. I don't think he planned that, but who cares? I'd bet he threw it in there just to see if any jackasses on youtube would see it. lol.

Pitty they already have a word for magnificence. Else they'd have to call it Tommy Emmuanuel.

They can call it two things now and have a picture with sound just in case you're blind.

I can't believe you're all still arguing over one dodgy note :-) It's hard not to make a mistake or fifty when you're playing a song at 180 beats per minute. Guys like Tommy don't care about a bum note anyway, they're too busy playing great music.
AlexKitch 3 years ago 5
I Usually don't like t get involved in musical disputes over accomplished artists, but the harmonized line at 2:46 is not an incorrect note. He is using a harmonic minor scale, and that note is a major 7th, as opposed to the minor 7th in a natural minor. This is fitting because he is playing over a V chord. In this situation some musicians will call it a dominant prolongation. And yes, the major 7th is part of a dominant V chord.

Actually. Tommy doesn't know theory. It was a mistake. :P

for someone who doesn't like to get involved , you make a very good case ! lol

It's a natural 7th ('super locrian' if you will) over a natural minor idea. It is not uncommon to drop into a harmonic minor momentarily in that situation. Old Jazz trick and a sly one at that.

are you talking about that one note that kinda stuck out? I'm NOT someone who knows the technical issues in music. I did get to see Tommy play at the House of Blues, New Orleans, Louisiana on 21 July 2008 and was sitting about 8 feet in front of him - needless to say, no words can describe that night... wow

The point of music isn't to play a song perfectly without a single mistake. The point is to convey the song's message to the audience

He wrote the song and not you guys. Maybe your tabs aren't right. But how matter tommy is such a good player. Tommy4ever!!

I noticed that note as well. First I noticed that I was listening to one of the greatest guitarists alive today - so who cares about one note...

Clearly not a wrong note musically. But I guess if you are reading the music or tab I would have to agree... though I doubt that is the case.
