Tommy Emmanuel Interview Pt. 2

[jfsk8er]

The song should start out great, get fabulous and then be amazing in the end.

Great advice!

[acousticguitarfan]

I love Tommy! He is a great inspiration!

[erikk563]

hello, im not very good in English, please, can someone tell me what are the names of that two songs which Tommy recommend for begginers ?

thank you

[TenacMarke]

@erikk563 Freight Train and Windy and Warm =) you have a lot of instructionals on youtube and lot of tabs on google =) but the best is if you listen some simple version on youtube then learn it by ear, it's more fun and a lot more better for you and your playing and your ear! enjoy! =)

[erikk563]

@TenacMarke Thank you very much ;-)

[ZebMacahan]

@erikk563 Windy and warm & Freight Train! =)

[ZebMacahan]

I don't understand why 20.000 people didn't bother watching part 2 of this interview.

[blar1234567]

I just started.

Can anyone send me some good song suggestions to practice on like what Tommy was talking about?

[weazle0203]

"..the song should start out great, get fabolous and then being amazing in the end.."

The golden rule to make own songs or playing covers. He´s amazing.

[parallelogramammoth]

@thrillhouses lol yeh you sorta gotta be careful what mood you're in when you watch/listen to him. If you've been trying to learn classical gas for 3 weeks and you still haven't got passed the first 40 seconds then it can be demoralising watching him play it.

[mika15935700]

look! 03:19 is nothing ! WOOW! NOOOTHING!

[posseidis]

i fucking love this guy !!

[Schmison]

"This song should start out great, get fabulous and then be amazing in the end..."

[evrieselaar]

That's the song Lewis & Clark from his album The Mystery

[madhajin]

whats the lovely piece at the intro and outro of this video? does anyone know please??

[XJumpstylorX]

the song should start out great, get fabulous and then be amazing at the end haha

[FRIDAY13TAURUS]

his hands are huge

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

hehehe im seeing him in janurary.



[TyneGibbs12]

Tommy - "Oh...I striped my finger doing it yesterday!"

Jim - "Oh....I hadn't really noticed."

LMAO! XD

[thenakedbuffalo]

my jaw detached itself from my face at 7:56. :-/ that was so...AWESOME..

[yenrayNg]

what happens if i have 7 inspired tommy emmanuel songs. i dont know which to play ><

[dbfydtn]

@yenrayNg shut up.

[yenrayNg]

@dbfydtn lol i was saying that im completely inspired by tommy emmanuel. why did u ask me to shut up

[dbfydtn]

@yenrayNg I just did it for kicks.

[JohnnyReb2009]

Tommy seems to be such a nice person, besides being a guitar genius. And also a very hard worker, with 250+ gigs per year and lots of hours of practice (he says in the interview he hadn't ate or slept for a month while working on the arrangement of Struttin'!) Maybe now that James Brown is no longer around, TE deserves the title "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business".

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Best guitarist in Australia

[punishr36]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses Well no offense but listen to what Steve Vai said.

He has to be the best finger style picker in the world I would think.

I saw him last month and it was unbeleiveable.

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

@punishr36 nice way to turn a compliment into something that's just not good enough..

[punishr36]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses Lol,, sorry mate.Wasn't meant to be like that.

Cheers!

[darqs]

everytime i hear Tommy's advice i just feel like racing to my guitar and playing it nonstop. He is truely a inspirational icon in the guitar world.

[tha757balla563]

what is that guitar technique called that he does at 7:18-7:19

[kdheithaus]

all these damn "learn to play guitar in three weeks" ads....it's a load of freakin bull! - this is the real deal... I'd imagine anyone watching this knows that! God Bless Tommy Emmanuel

[danilomarrone]

Brilliant interview and great advice from the master.

[gogokhan95]

[Suldarr]

@gogokhan95 - Standard tunning.

[492dm]

@Suldarr Does anyone know the intro song that is playing before the Tommy interview starts.

[Suldarr]

@492dm It's from Lewis & Clark, from album the mystery.

[Johnoooh]

@492dm  windy and warmy by chet atkins

[killieboy93]

@gogokhan95 No

[StefanHan1]

I think Tommy's version of classical duo is better.

[robmarina]

[samalope]

Guitar town rocks. Free every year. I always look forward to it. Saw him last year along with John Jorginsen (Can't spell it).

[robmarina]

[punisher2237]

i love his guitar it has so much character

[Dedalusalley]

What is the title of the song from 0.00 to 0.29? That's beautiful :)

[cryptognome]

Actually the one from 0:00 to 0:29 is "Lewis & Clark" from his album "The Mystery".

[Maarten171991]

Yes, youre right. I knew that, I can play it myself and that's beautiful. Don't know why I mentioned the second song, read the question wrong I think;)

[dairniel]

@Dedalusalley it's called Lewis and Clarke

[mcneon202]

After his guitar workshop last night, I asked Tommy if he could sign my guitar and write something for me, and he wrote, "Get to work!'

[booksteve]

WOW..those are words to live by.

"the song should start out great, get fabulous, and be amazing at the end."

Thanks Tommy.

[calcorrfan]

Thanks so much for posting this. Always great to hear from the master.

[mutchumbo]

The song should start out great, get fabulous and then be amazing in the end.... Job done!

[javadude54]

The man's technique is mind boggling and he makes it looks effortless.

[137tuck]

[MercutioUK2006]
