  • he is the real master...

  • 33 dislikes by Shunga Jung...

  • everyone! if you like this video you should check out tommy emmanuels classic gas on the right ------------>>> its so good!

  • Dont try this on a japanese instrument! hahaha lmfao

  • He is Funny to ;)

    

  • When I graduated from HS, saw him at the Midland in KC, front-row seats as a grad present. First concert I'd ever been to...man, was he amazing. A lifelong fan was made that night. This video is incredible!!!

  • HEY! I own a number of japanese guitars, and that is the first thing I would try on them.

    because fuck it, they're cheap.

  • At 3:08, that was the most powerful A chord ever played!!

  • 32 peeps didn't get that guitar they wanted for Christmas when they were 12.

  • @kcspamfree i did thats why i liked this hahaha

  • Lokking forward to se and her Tommy in Oslo Friday 13 January 2012

  • @0876oslo oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @frombearum @0876oslo GLED DERE! Jeg så han i Trondheim i går! Det er det beste som noen gang har skjedd meg. Makan til gitarspilling skal dere lete lenge etter! Hvis dere får like epic setlist som vi, ville jeg tatt med et par ekstra underbukser om jeg hadde vært dere ;) 

  • jebote al ore! :)

  • Not even just a great guitar player, he's has the best jazzfaces in the world!:)

  • Great skills and a funny ending... He is a six string boogie monster! :)

  • I believe not even chuck norris can play that good oO

  • I think it's unfair coming to earth, doing as if you were a human being

  • He's pretty hilarious haha, AND an amazing guitarist!

  • Tommy is simply the best acoustic player that I have ever heard

  • incredibileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    

  • to actually believe there was a time when that maton wasn't beat up

  • Best Guitarist Ever. Your argument is invalid.

  • Yeah he's gifted but he's a show off. Where's the soul? Why all the joking about? Not in the same league as SRV or Hendrix for those reasons. It's insulting to the many GREAT guitarists who have come before him? Check out SRV playing "Testify" unplugged.

  • @themusak

    Are you retarded?

    You are an insult!

    If you don't have anything positive to say about Tommy I suggest you STFU!

    How can anyone watch that and not smile?

    Show off????? It's called entertaining.....

    Please unsubscribe and go take a bottle of pills that might end your life.

  • grandios sein spiel ...!!!!!!

  • Whoa!

  • my auntie is an auzzie and i think hes amazing

  • han prøver å stemme gitaren, tror jeg... eller er det første time?

  • brilliant work like always, great sense of humor adds so much to the perfomance. It makes me laugh when people talk about the best guitarist ever. Three players always mentioned, no need for me to say the names but they should take some lessons from you sir. thanks, you are an inspiration. I must say one is J B and I just don't get it. What am I missing there? powder on the hands?

  • Obviously the yanks hate the Japanese competition. Now that the japs are making superior equipment . A $500 dollar jap guitar compared to an equivalent USA guitar, and the jap quality will always be better. Nice try , and i appreciate why he says stuff like that. Pure patriotism. Good guitar player, but leave the Japs alone, they actually make fine musical instruments. The yanks do also, but charge 3 times the price.

  • @bizzo142 He's Australian.

  • @Gre4t must be sposored by the yanks, eh. didn't know he was an ozzy, learn something new every day. mind you i'm not a fan, so i wouldn't be expected to know, fair dinkum.

  • @bizzo142 Heh, he plays a Maton. An Australian guitar ;)

  • @Gre4t excellent, thanks

  • DANG, Tommy mut have played every single note on that poor little unsuspecting maton!

  • People!! do not clap. PLEASE!

  • I play the guitar... So naturally after watching this vid, I had no choice but to pick up my guitar and rock out!

  • (:O

  • He´s foot walked a mile theare :)

  • He dont need any "©" no motherfucker can copy this skills. Shit, not even a machine.

  • @plastbestikk he's great but you gotta know there's guys who chew him up

  • @K131399 like who for example ?

  • @dutchdevil96 are you kidding me? playing some blurry staccato things pleases non musicians but, and im not knocking the guy, anyone can run scales for hours on end until they smooth it out. go to any music school and you can see people flying through boring scales and modes. danny gatton for one played faster but everything was cool. slow down the fast stuff tommy is playing and its kinda silly. but im reality there's people who play at home that can do this.

  • @K131399 Dutchdevil, you're kidding me too? sure this is his big novelty tune but come on. His fingerings, imagination, speed, precision and I'm not just referring to this tune, look up some of his work especially with some other guitar greats.So easy to judge on You-Tube. He is a world class picker. Now post your most recent guitar work.

  • @K131399 Did you even understand what I said ? I just asked who could CHEW him up, as not many guitarists can preform with this accuracy, speed and joke around at the same time too..

  • @dutchdevil96 and i said danny gatton for one lol. and joke around at the same time? lmao.

  • @plastbestikk but the asians? :D

  • What the hell? He is doing things to that guitar that should be rated r

  • when he talks he sounds like peter griffin LOL

  • This guy is the Earl Scruggs of guitar. Incredible

  • Rude mood

  • I'm floored every time I watch him.

  • Simply Amazing!

  • 30 persone che non capiscono una beata minchia...!! (i 30 non mi piace)

  • Please , don't forget to watch my guitar cover of this .. in the afterlife.

  • i dont get why he says dont try this on a japanese guitar

  • @MrCockSlut Coz it'll snap mate!

    

  • @mocsey why would it? 

  • @MrCockSlut because i've tried it! you can do it safely on a fender, martin's les paul etc, but not anything japanese, they should stick to cars and robots

  • 1'55 ..good people it's haunting me .. floored by just 6 seconds of his 7 minutes.. think it's a B7#9/F# 23 note rolling arpeggio in false harmonics using,like us all,only 4 fingers on the fretboard.. yet his left hand does'nt move a muscle :-o am I losing my mind?

    He's from hell.Run away..

  • This is the most incredible 240p video!

  • Outstanding!

    

  • humourous......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

    

  • why japanese issue? don't get it.. anyways, can't tell which is better.. his guitar skills or humourous.. love this vid!

  • why japanese???

    maybe chinese...

  • this live version is tons better than his studio version!

  • master rithm!!!!

  • im so glad i got to watch this legend live.

  • goddam i love this man. this is quite possibly the greatest solo guitar blues ive ever heard. i cant wait to see him in san francisco in february!

  • fuck, I clicked on the dislike button. They should put like and dislike further apart from each other.

  • If guitars were alive, that thing'd be having a massive orgasm.

  • oHhhhhhHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH

  • When God wanted to hear a great guitar player, he created Tommy Emmanuel!.. The GREATEST!

  • the greatest achievement i've done so far as a guitar player is to tab Tommy's left leg. :-)

  • I saw Tommy playing last Saturday in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Someone wants to buy my guitars?????

  • @stefdelaat Nee, dank je. Ik ben ook geweest. En in januari ga ik weer als hij in Goes is.

  • Ευχαριστούμε! Αυτά είναι κάποια άλλα βίντεο που μπορεί να σας αρέσουν.Ευχαριστούμε! Αυτά είναι κάποια άλλα βίντεο που μπορεί να σας αρέσουν.Ευχαριστούμε! Αυτά είναι κάποια άλλα βίντεο που μπορεί να σας αρέσουν.

  • @yhp5400 No! it's Mi major

  • i've been in the music business for 40+ years. i have some pretty lofty heroes as far as guitar greats. for sheer playing ability, and to cover as many styles as he does, tommy's the best i ever seen, Period.

  • @tomcaat1 I agree. Completely.

  • @tomcaat1 Yes, he's great... but there's no need to talk about bleeding vaginas.

  • @tomcaat1 Then please take a look at Guthrie Govan. Type in "Guthrie Govan Guitar greats" you´ll be amazed! Promise!

  • Comment removed

  • @lauwegast Nope he has 10.... couldn't resist :)

  • His performances never fails to put a smile on my face..

  • planting flowers in my guitar now....all is lost....maybe I'll take up horseshoes.

  • This shit makes me happy and depressed at the same time

  • Very KoolTunes!

  • it looks so easy when he do it.

  • Guitars for sale.

  • Incredible ! Love to see him with a Strat and a small combo

  • don't try to play like him on a normal acoustic guitar!! you'll burn it after u watch again this video! ;) like if you agree :))

  • han har altid været et åndssvagt skaveho´e fuld af ligegyldige røvsyge plimmergøjs-blues-skvalder-pla­dder platheder på en I-luw-to-boogie-på-en-saturday­-night-agtig facon med stegt-flæsk-og-rosenkåls-glatn­akke, kalveknæ og pomadehår og alt hvad han udgyder har den umiskendelige usmageligste smadderagtige ploink-ploink og klaske-fnitte-fnatte plastik-spank-plonkagtige karakter som kun en australsk bonderøv med gentagelsestvangsneurotiske pentatonspasmekramper formår at frembringe !

  • @FenceThis

    May the contents of a thousand rabid, genetically altered/mutated beehives find their way to your pretentious, elitarian cock-shit-fraggle-danish-potty­mouthing-asscrack mouth/face within an agreeable time span. If you dislike the music and feel a dire urge to voice it, then do so in the agreed language (English), and with something a bit more clarifying than "...an Australian redneck with cramps of pentatonic neuroses of repetition". Real words would be nice, too (klaske-fnitte?!)

  • Comment removed

  • @ticfortea a more correct translation of the selected phrase would ofcourse come out way closer something like ;pentatonic spasmodic cramps of compulsary-repititive-neurotic­-disorder-character, or aslike, but I guess we can both agree that it´s being deprived of it´s more subtle and profound artistic connotations when attempted implanted in another linguistic sphere,not unlike with poetry or litterature,Therefor the choice of language.for thart particular matter.

  • Comment removed

  • @ticfortea  ... your resistance against the usage of expressions suchas " klaske-fnitte-fnatte" or "blues-skvalder-pladder " reveals a somewhat anal and restricted ortographically based view on the written word as an open full-toned poetic and non-translative mean of expression.Like music itself speaks the unspeakable,so does poetry contain it´s own build-in irreducable exact logic and precission.It still though remains enigmatic what a genetically altered beehive might really be(e)

  • i wish people wouldn't clap... very irritating...

  • @johnbresnik Believe it or not, this was a live show.. where people clap. Have you ever been to a live music event?

  • @radishjunk - I don't mean clapping for his playing, I mean their attempt to keep time -- their clapping on 2 and 4 is not at the same tempo as his playing. He's playing at his tempo and they are clapping at a different tempo ... very irritating (I'm a former professional musician). Yes, he is coming to our town in February - looking forward to it.

  • He's got everything what it takes to be one of the best ones.

    1.) Great Showman

    2.) Awesome Guitar Skills

    3.) Great sense of Humor

    ... he's a legend.

  • If I had 1/10th of Tommy's talent, I'd be the second best guitarist in the world.

  • @dann3th3manni3

    Thats right because Eddie Van Halen is the best

  • @1977BanditTransAM mvhaha,funny comment

  • he sounds like peter griffin !

  • God.

  • i want sum of that stuff he drinks!!!!

  • friendly,low profile.houmoric ,creative...and genius. he is Tommy Emmanuel

  • Me too man!! this guy is excellent, absolutely great!

  • I used to be able to say, "I know how to play the guitar".
