maybe now, but not when Thom was in his prime. And honestly they are two totally different players. Tommy has the speed but Thom has the personality and flair. If you want a 'eat'em for breakfast' player, Jerry Reed was the king of them all. He could smoke just about every player, but in addition he had a great voice and wrote the hell out of songs.
I agree totally. To say Tommy Emmanuel would eat Thom for breakfast is just ridiculous. I admired them both for years and have seen them play together many times. When it comes to finger style Tommy is not in the same league as Bresh. They are very different styles and I really don't see the comparison. There is always someone on youtube that wants to be insulting and negative.
listen im here cuz i liked tom bresh and all respect for ur opinion but tommy emmanel dont play fast music only , tommy play all kind , slow sad music , fast music... and i dont see guitar player compose as good as tommy now , search for tommy's music "" tommy is the guy now "
you just need to dig a little deeper. Tommy's great but a lot of his hook is his being from down undah. There are players in the USA that can hang with him and compose just as beautifully. Not saying it's a foot race, just saying he can play - but then again, have you heard Leo Kottke's early stuff before his hand injury? How about Lenny Breau? Adrian Legg is another great but semi-unheard of player. And of course there's always my hero - Jerry Reed :)
At every song except Cannonball Rag. Thom shreds face at Cannonball Rag. You can see them play it together and theres one part where Tommy's head explodes because of what Thom does, its messy.
how could you offend me? you wasn't commenting on me. I'm just concerned that someone with learning difficulties has access to a computer, you never know what you might look at.
sellobic >After reading your bad grammar it reminded me of the kids that attended mental health class in school. Where were you institutionalized ? Were you released prematurely? Or are you now writing from the head nurses office computer? Now go back to your room.
sorry for the poor grammar, english is my 2nd language. I promise to improve and thanks for pointing it out. Now shut your fucking mouth and shine my shoes.

Even if he didn't play guitar, he's a fabulous entertainer. Why doesn't he have his own theatre on the Las Vegas strip? Somebody's missing a bet.
