[mwilson70201]

Looks like Tommy Emanuels succesor has been found.

[MooseMagazine]

@mwilson70201 As I read this, I thought "NEVER!! It's supposed to be meeee!!! Nah who am I kidding." :P Tommy's influence really is spreading, eh?

[jimihendrixfan2008]

Someone help me pick my jaw off the floor.

[easypicken]

......

[KeatonHerzerMusic]

[willemkerpel1]

[sk84life1983]

That was sick man!!!!! is the tab out there for that tune!!?? :)

[ThrobMarley]

Looks like its back to masturbating for me.

[sandykoong]

His pinky is so long from all that playing. I can't even reach 2 frets with my pinky :/ Btw its about 5cm :/ yeah its really short

[MiniDaab]

@sandykoong I have huge hands, but still don't have his reach,

It's all about practice.

[coal4life]

Passion and soul rippin' the rest of us a new one.

[IIIGilesIII]

I thought i was great at guitar... This video just lowered my self esteem...

[gjvb]

SMOKIN!

[SaintMrSomebody]

awesomness

[RohanTheTeaLover]

I was just feeling happy I had got the hang of this song, watched this, and remembered I'm still at about half speed. He so damn good! :/

[ksatia]

@RohanTheTeaLover what song is this?

[sywalker456]

And I thought I was good at guitar.

[andredidiergijon]

@sywalker456 I thought i was kind of average, now i know im shit

[RohanTheTeaLover]

I've spent a good couple of hours trying to play this today. I can play it badly, at about half speed. I doubt it'll get any better, but it makes me happy :)

Loving watching him play.

[Lynsey38025Part2]

Talent! And he's so young, he can only get better.

[saltmonastery]

just hear that homo-prick laugh at 1:11 :P

nice playing anyways. too old fashioned for me.. and self sufficient as well..

[ksatia]

@saltmonastery i think someones jealous

[zoomer51]

who's those 2 fuckin jalous dick heads that clicked the down thumb ? 

[AVFC0711]

as you can see this dude has a very active social life

[xoxoJannet]

Wow...that sounds amazing..

[johnnysgretsch]

ya he needs to slow down and feel the music instead of blazing through it. He should buy a bunch of chet atkins records and listen very carefully to all of the nuances chet puts in his playing. Instead of this tommy guy from australia who I am sire lives on red bull.

[chrileboy]

@johnnysgretsch Chet told Tommy Emmanuel "You are better than I will ever be" - or something like that right???? anyway, I think that some songs are meant to be played slower, but I don't know about this one.

[babaluboo123]

@chrileboy Yep. This is better slower and he has a nice version here somewhere.

[chinmaymenon]

Joe u crazy mofo !! wat i would do to get you to India !!! :D RESPECT

[podesta316]

It's a sheer pleasure to watch something like that.

[johnnysgretsch]

same comment as i left for jiffy jam needs lots of work on his delivery. But getting better. Keep up the good work.

[peterxfarrell]

@johnnysgretsch ...LOL, you have no idea mate. "needs lots of work on his delivery"... give me a break! You sound so pompous and jealous. You wouldn't even know where to begin in offering this guy "advice". So basically, what I'm telling you knob jockey, is PULL YOUR FRICKIN' HEAD IN. You're a pure tosser if ever there was one.

[alen896]

he eats slash for lunch....

[mindingosafado]

What do you play for practice?!

[Nevyle]

awesome !! very robert taylor.

dowloaded the tab from google, loads of fun there !

[hitherepeeps]

@Nevyle I can't seem to find the tab anywhere, could you send me a link?

[playlistboyz111]

Do you have tabs??!!

[donarneysyndicate]

The mic is facing the wrong way.

[daOeffna]

@donarneysyndicate

not really, its not one mic you pick up sounds from the front :)

[silverguitartom]

This beats mindless shredding hands down. Actually amazing.

[inky960]

@silverguitartom AMEN. More power (and speed) to the shredders of the world, but give me a melody and some juicy chords and some glorious acoustic tone - all played with emotion and fire-in-the-belly. Make it so engrossing that I grunt and grimace and sway, despite all I might do to remain still and stone-faced. And if ONE player can deliver me this, I avow he has more music in him than has any ship-load of shredders and any cargo of over-clocked metronomes.

[RipFZ]

This is fucking insane!

[mudpieblues]

I like him better with the collings guitars

[guitarmetal08]

@mudpieblues that is a collings guitar

[kdjfnvjvd]

I can hear someone snikker in the background right at 0:43. I would be floored to see this kid play infront of me too!!! AWESOME S'JR !!!!!!!!!!

[gloriouspeanut]

ROCK IT MAN!!!

[tinfb]

STRUT THAT ASS

[ryanz06]

you're rushing it a bit kid, amazing talent though ;)

[hendrixkixas]

@ryanz06 How can he rush an original piece? He sets his own tempo.

[merelvh]

Sooo great! Great sounding Collings

[JohnnyReb2009]

That guy's speed is just breathtaking.

[bigmcmueller]

he is so amazing and a really nice guy, thankfully i hear him live and can ask him what i want.

[0004237024]

Killin it in the DC shirt.

[Animeguy993]

One day Joe, one day i'll jam with you. You make me wanna work even harder ;]

[guitarrasco]

He is a GREAT guitarist. However in his past videos I believed that he claimed to be Self-Taught. I saw a lot of Tommy Emmanuel influence in there, and the arrangements (blue moon for example) was a note by note Tommy Emmanuel arrangement. Humble to me is when I hear from his own mouth giving CREDIT to Tommy Emmanuel. Otherwise this is NOT an example of Humble. My comment should not take away from his extraordianary talent. Come on Joe, please take Tommys example of what humble truly is.

[LeopoldIX]

i don't really know what you mean. do you think he should reinvent guitar playing? self-taught means not having a teacher who tells you what and how to play.

of course it would be nice to give credit to tommy but you not having seen him doesn't mean he hasn't done that, i don't know...

[guitarrasco]

Good Points taken on my previous comment. I guess there is nothing in music that is new. Its all a manifestation of some form from the greats like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart. What is great we can all have an opportunity to express ourselves once we learn from our past mentors. I think Joe is truly Amazing. And There is a lot of Chet in Tommys' playing also. Sorry for my passion on this. Thank you for your comments.

[Rafterman123]

I agree that this basically is an Emmanuel rip but... mmmm... if we get sweaty everytime someone steals a lick then we would all need a life boat

[guitarrasco]

True. That was not my intent. I guess my experience in working with and observing very talented but arrogant artists, after a while I get tired of that. Ever notice how the true cream of the crop are very humble people? At least they give out that perception. I really want Joe to be the best as he grows in his career. He can definately carry Tommys' torch and create his own. Thanks for your comments. Great Point. Only sweat is trying to keep up with these guys :)

[patycakes133]

fuck.... id love to see this guy get his hands on a gretch like brian setzer :D

hmm but dont drink .... brian has a beer belly to the extreme :P

[Greendaydx]

does anyone know what type of guitar he uses during the course of his time at "Australia's got talent"

[OptoOcto]

I belive he uses a Maton..But i could be wrong

[Greendaydx]

@OptoOcto thats what i thought to... thanks

[MinnieMarksMusic]

@Greendaydx Hey! Joe uses a Maton EBG808TE :)

[Axeminister5]

Very cool. Love it.

[jcornell85]

What kind of microphone is that you're using?

[waffelbord]

[ThePagesMuSiC]

[yaaapik]

[JRRS1993]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar that is?

[jacksonsrareguitars]

This guitar is a Collings D2HAV

[jacksonsrareguitars]

hi, the v is for vintage neck. so it is a little wider at the bridge and nit,

[Drenius]

@jacksonsrareguitars

Is that a original? Very cool one.

Tab me? I can post you a 'tribute' cover advertising you as the amazing player you are, haha.

Best of luck

Leo.
