  • Congratulations, you have completed the guitar.

  • Fuck off all the list of Best Guitarist, Best Guitar Licks, blah..blah..

    We have a very great guitar player here..

  • @andresihotang he was number one in best acoustic guitar LIST, about a year ago i think

  • @latchie That's cool, I didn't know that. Appreciate if you could show me the link, but whatever I will be looking for it by myself :-)

  • o cara manda muitoooooooooooo no violão !!!

    é de babar!!!!

    noooossa qnd ele vem ao Brasil?????????????????

  • watch tommys videos all the time on you tube , was lucky enough to see him in my home town Perth ,Scotland live at concert hall he was fantastic , he seemed disappointed place was not full hopefully he will come back again and find it will be full he certainly deserves it to be

  • Tommy is so awesome at guitar that he doesn't even need his head to play!

  • Anybody know what the second song is, between 'When I'm 64' and 'Day Tripper'?

  • @koyunbaba73 That would be "A Taste Of Honey"

  • from 5:09 on he plays three guitar parts at the same time.

    seriously, what planet is this guy from?

  • Until a couple of days ago, I thought that Jimmy Page was the earth incarnation of the guitar. Now I see it's Tommy Emmanuel.

  • Great video, like everything from mr. Guitar himself, but bummer they cut his head! :P

  • Unbelievable and great.

  • this dude needs a royal medal for awesome guitar skills.

  • God!!!!!!!!!!!!Unbelievable!

  • I think he has 4 brains

  • Damn he always rocks so hard.

  • Is he fingerpicking the entire time?

  • yes, there is only one guitar there if that is what you mean or are questioning. Independent thumbs :)

  • he's using a thumb pick and the rest are fingers

  • But he is surely the best headless guitarist of all time !!! Who the fuck videoed this ??? Mini me ??

  • You feel who indentifys himself with the music. tommy does this very well.

  • Anyone got a tab for this?

  • Do a google search for

    Tommy Emmanuel Tabok

    First result

  • god

  • This guy could very well be THE best guitarist on the planet, but...... does he make the best guitar music ? Hendrix had the same problem, its all about perception and taste (of the listener).... each to their own : )

  • i agree with moonunitenar beacuse if one day, a guitaris will play or almost will be able to play every kind of music that is "playable" with a guitar, in the best way, we'll allowed to consider him like a best guitaris in the world, but personally i think that if that man will exist, he will be more comparable with a machine instead a human

  • I hate it when people fight about who is the "best" guitarist in the world. It's a totally juvenile argument, which is completely based on opinion, so people really need to calm down. There's really know way to choose the "best" guitarist in the world cuz NONE OF THEM PLAY EXACTLY THE SAME STYLE, it's a matter of preference! I could name a hundred guitarists that I think are amazing, but I couldn't pick one as being better than the others in every way. The point of my rant is calm down people.

  • wat kind of a dipshit couldn't even get his head into video frame!

  • I love the fact it's rock steady at the floor ;)

    Anyway on Tommy, go see him he does a cracking show and is always on tour

  • He's like a cosmic lounge act for aliens or something. Man! Ha haa!

  • A compliment to the BEST band ever, as well as to the BEST picker ever, Chet Atkins!

  • O M G!

  • Pfff .. c'est pas qu'il fout les nerfs.. mais si ^^

    Wouaou !

  • constipational!!!

  • *puts down guitar...forever and gives up*

  • sounds like 2 to 3 guitarists!

  • where is his head?

  • He sold it on ebay for unknown sums of money because he doesn't need one to play.

  • He doesn need it he plasy with the heart. Oh snap!

  • This is the most likely event, but I stand by my original statement.

  • wow

  • great camera position!

  • That is talent. I truly think skill like that can not be attained, he is born with it. Thank you posting this.

  • Screams of delight... fuck the words, there are none.

  • Tommy rocks harder than metal bands.

  • This man is almost as much of a god as those who created these songs.

  • So's your face.

  • niiiiiiiicee comebak :)

  • haha i know aye

  • Dude, you posted the same message twice, you're so lame.

  • I love stupid people. Fighting over the internet, he he he, that's just silly. Grammer fights are for teachers and students. When you sink to those kind of insults the arguement just becomes funny. Come on guys lets just smoke a little and listen to some Beatles.

    This guys a pretty good guitarist.

  • I don't know who was voted best guitarist by which magazine. but THIS is the BEST guitar playing that I have ever heard. Does it really matter if is Laurence Juber or Tommy Emmanuel? Perhaps they are equally as good, but more importantly, THIS is INCREDIBLE. Way to go, Tommy. I'll listen to some of Juber's songs, and then I'll see if one is better or not. No matter, EMMANUEL is DEFINITELY one of the two best in the world.

  • lol, does that mean i only get D- lol, like i care!! u know wot i fukin mean, i don't have to spell shit properly for you, btw the only reason you go off on a tangent about my spelling is beacause you know im right.

  • Actually, he's right. First of all, Laurence Juber and Tommy Emmanueal are the two greatest guitar players ever, NOT Doyle Dykes. Juber was voted the guitarist of the year by Fingerstyle Guitar. Secondly, You REALLY WRITE like a jerk. I could barely make out what you ere trying to say. So, you are wrong, PLUS you are an idiot. You have it going for you both ways.

  • I would say that this is OUTSTANDING guitar playing, but that would be a HUGE understatement. This is so great that even the late, great George Harrison could play this well. UNBELIEVABLE.

  • you're such a dumbass then, what kind of a statement is that, they're all hugely varying styles, and you're trying to say who's best, tommy or juber could never do what jimmy hendrix did and vice versa, plus you seemed to have overlooked the undisputed best fingerstyle player in the world in Doyle Dykes

  • Wow. I've seen some hypocrites in my day, but you top them all. Try finishing grade school first, then come back and make comments on youtube.

  • You mean there were 407 previous gandils?

  • No. 408 was Joe Jackson's batting average in 1911.  Love, Gandil408

  • merde ...

  • Impressive, Mr Emmanuel, but I'm not fooled. You are clearly some kind of alien with barely visible extra fingers and multiple brains.

  • hahaha agreed

  • Jees. its not about whos the best. No one is the best or worst.Music is not a horse race or something.

  • True.I don't think Mr.Emmanuel worries much about is he best or not.He's obviously just enjoy playing.

  • You should change your name to poopcock analboy.

  • Hmmm.. Nice one! XD

  • gandil- i agree buddy-luky man-tomme emmanuels better than anal tho-thats gud

  • *drool* i so wish i could play this well.

  • i think he is the best guitarist in the world right now.. he got technique, soul, creativity, well.....everything great guitarist need

  • chet sucks...always has...

  • Why is his head cut off?

  • "Why is his head cut off?"

    To demonstrate that he can do everything without a head!

  • ZOMG its yet another reference to the Paul is dead conspiracy... LOL.

    Amazing cover though, this guy is awesome :D

  • lol

  • WOW! He does all that without a head!

  • That's hilarious! LOL

  • I too, thought that was funny, especially after I told my wife to look how this was filmed.  No head!!!

  • haha

  • can you say me the names of this songs?

    thank you!!!!!!!

  • I would like to know the name of evry song that he is playing...

    skip out to talk rubbish

    thank you

  • if you click on (more info) it will tell you what songs are being played!

  • He's playing these songs in this order:

    When I'm 64

    Taste of Honey (covered by the Beatles, not written by them)

    Day Tripper

    Lady Madonna

  • wow

  • For Tommy Chet Atkins is God and that's who Tommy learnt his technique from.

  • every guitarist learned something from chet atkins.

  • Absolutely brilliant - his skills are unique

  • im amazed...(if he's a female..i would have used baby im amazed...lol.)unbelievable guitar playing skill..who says the internet is all porn?(..actually it was before i started surfing in you tube..lol.lol.lol.)keep posting videos like this one....more power to you tony...

  • See my previous posts ... this guy is the best

  • he has no equal.

  • wow that was amazing. i watch a lot of videos of amazing guitarist but half the time there just playing nonsense. this guys always has a melody going. Thats how you play the guitar!

  • This is a great point, I have seen some amazing technique on youtube, but usually it's all technique with little regard to actually playing something musical. This guy has all the bases covered.

  • es un guitarrista unico , muy buen ejecutante un verdadero artista.!!!!

  • Third song sounds like there is another person playing the bass. Plesase listen carefully and feel what I feel.

  • that is a bass run being played with his thumb while he plays the main melody with the rest of fingers, listen to Chet Atkins he does it all the time.

  • prsfrank, you are right in the sense that both are using a variation of Travis-style finger-picking, but Chet Atkins plucks the strings in the sequence: 6-4-5-4-6-4 etc... for the bass, whereas Tommy Emmanuel seems to be playing more of a moving bass-line. But thats just how I hear it ;]

  • outstanding talent

  • I gotta start playing more guitar hero

  • wtf does guitar hero have to do with this?

  • Truly.He talented and the best guitarist

  • Truly amazing!

  • Does he write his own stuff?

  • yes, and it's damn amazing too!

  • you know your good when people are calling your playing fake.

  • Awesome!

  • I've seen him live and met him. This is REAL!!! He is a true virtuoso of the instrument. He comes form the Chet Atkins school of 'multi-part style'. And he's a humble gentleman also. So rare these days.

  • He should take some lessons! Maybe I will have mercy . Lol

    He´s really amazing!

  • WOW

    rythem and lead at the same time

    inhuman........

    love it

  • hey trust me i see tommy every year this video isnt fake, hes amazing look up initiation

  • One Man---one Guitar. thats a message !!

  • wow this guy is inhuman it sounds like hes using a loop station half the time but there isnt 1 on the floor and u can see heis hand moving but this guy is for real...... wow....

  • You idiot this is not fake

  • I can tell you this is not fake I have seen him play this live and trust me this is nothing to what he can do

  • if you knew anything, you would know that youtube lowers the quality of videos once you upload a video. Which sometimes makes the videos not play in-synch

  • This is not fake, I have a 2 hour dvd of Tommy Emmanuel and hes this crazy all the time, it probably wasn't in sync because the video, not because its been dubbed or edited....

  • How the fuck would this be a fake? Some people are beyond stupid.

  • Seriously, wtf is wrong with you? Why the hell would anyone fake this? People who go around calling things fake all the time are absolute idiots and some of the most annoying people on the internet.

    What part of this is fake? The video? Yeah, let's take a video of tommy emmanuel playing, then dub over it with an audio of tommy emmanuel playing. That makes a lot of sense.

  • do you even know a damn thing about tommy emmanuel?

  • Thinking that he fakes makes you a know-nothing on guitar level. Greetings.

  • lol fake. you don´t know nothing about guitar playing ;).

    learn to play and then learn the heroes of guitar playing!!!

  • haha its incredible that hes that fucking good. people would think hes faking.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE SUCH A GIMP!

    Idiot...

  • simply the best!!!

  • Day Tripper is pretty damn sweet

  • *agrees

  • *agrees

  • One Man ,One Guitar...and so many MUSIC.

    IVAN.

  • so good!

  • oh noez! he's headless

  • HA!

  • Great googley-moogley! That boy can play!

  • name of the second song?

  • it's called: A Taste of Honey

  • Holy Crap!

  • Day Tripper is insane, I couldnt even imagine trying to play to different rhythms at the same time! Hats off to the greatest!

  • I though the same, until I found the tab and actually began learning it. The trick is to figure out exactly in what order the notes go, but once you memorise that, playing it becomes quite easy. Of course, playing as dynamically as Emmanuel does, with vibratos and improvised parts, is very difficult. There's a video on Youtube of him teaching this, you should try to find it.

  • Wow... Wow.... Wow... WOW!!!!!!!!!

  • And just when you think that you have seen it all... a man without a head plays guitar 20 times better than you could ever hope to!

  • haha great sense of humor

  • TE is the best guitarist to ever touch a guitar period no arguements
