Tommy Emmanuel - Walzing Matilda

[username91ification]

A god. 

[walsgoc]

you can really feel the early drum influence he began with and the tempo changes he still holds reign over

[12345videomaster]

good stuff tommy "EMAMMEL"

[ichi6417isaberi]

Marcel Dadi lent him this shirt !

[lukegranger89]

This was pretty shit. Compared to the 2011 version of tommy emmanuel :)

[LeeAnn1120]

he is cute as usual!! but now he plays with more life!

[Jazzy78910]

First part is "Road to Gundagai", second part is "Waltzing Matilda"

very nice

[biggerbigd]

Tommy Emanimal? Ha! Good host.

[garfinorbit]

and he laughed :D

[garfinorbit]

Tommy Emmanuel is an alien :o

[55otter]

I tried to pick a guitar like that once....It took the paramedics an hour and a half

to untangle me.

They rushed me to the hospital with three broken fingers, a dislocated shoulder,

and a capo up my ass!

[hendrixkixas]

Whoa. He's paying a Takamine. What?

[CanadaGuy80]

I love the Tommy's laugh at 38 sec. lol Best part of the song.

[Strytec]

Anyone know what year this is? O.o

[TheMasterAchim]

Oh well...I've never seen him so young....

[jdmaniac820]

The most amazing thing is that the Tommy Emmanuel of today runs circles around this guy

[babywithacrowbar]

Put down the blow drier Tommy!!!! Really!!! You're gonna just hurt yerself!!!

[synesthesia67]

when everyone was learning to two hand tap in the eighties, evidently, tommy already had this dialed...

[stratmad]

@synesthesia67

being useless at 2 hand tapping and fingerpicking myself, i would humbly suggest that as impressive as 2 hand tapping is / can be when done tastefully, fingerpicking is the more difficult to master as it requires the thumb / finger independence and when you have it down, it's as impressive as hell, as ably demoed by masters like tommy.

[lolo8313]

wow !marty mcfly play like tommy emmanuel :)

[mattdixon100]

what a mullet!!

[rapiddescent]

omfg....what a great Mullet :P

[FlegDesigns]

LOL RAY.

[qolllop]

Pritty cool. He looks so young.

[rastamaniakTHC]

looool he was soooo high!!!!

[insaneinthebrain1978]

[Johnoooh]

[93681590]

That Amazing and brang a tear to my eye. Im so so so proud to be Australian. thanks Tommy

[alexshehol]

2.33 - 2.34 sensational! One second of music and I'm blown away!

[DeafFret]

gawd check that mullet

[bigdjindustriez]

Yeah that's not really a mullet, but still. He's the best. These snot nosed little bastards today could learn a thing or two from him.

[hxcmikenj]

im pretty sure everyone could learn a thing or two from him..

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

sorry 0:35

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

0:37 lol

[mycheesedguitar]

Wow, tv shows back then were actually good at taking a darn video of a guitarist!

Lol nowadays we have all these crazy movements encirculating the person and looking at the audience....quite annoying when you wanna see what they're doing...this is great...

TE forever! ^^

hehe mullllet

[artonelico69]

my hero.

i never saw this whenever i looked him up.

thanks for making my evening great

[Riyuo]

TE proves that you can have a mullet and still be awesome. Though perhaps he's the exception...

[masteroftheobvious86]

Or Emammel, or something...

A mammal?

[skaedis]

I am very happy I can watch Tommy Emmanuel play.

[martinaxman]

Did he say Tony Enamel? lol. Sounded like it. I wonder it that's where he got the joke... Definite Chet styling here. Man this guy is good.

[RaptorJMR]

lol tommys got a mullet

[SushiSaurus]

His so young in this video and his actually playing on Australian TV. This must've been a while ago, I wish he was still on TV in Australia... it would be awesome.

[guitwizzz]

Tommy and Doyle rule! (Phil also) I Cant get used to the thumbpick DARNIT!

[RaptorJMR]

stick with it, its bloody worth it in the end if you can get fingerstyle right

[BRAIDERMAN]

Tommy himself used to make fun of his name by referring to himself as "Tommy Enamel". I think Ray was referring to that joke !

Great stuff Tommy !

[mfgx5hf2]

....as Tony Enamel

[BRAIDERMAN]

Yeah, my mistake - That's right - Tony Enamel !

[travvvvvvvvv]

Haha lucky he's the best in the world bcause that shirt is horrible and that mullet has to go.........Oh and Ray called him Tommy emammal

[metalmaniac767]

makes you proud to be an aussie guitarist indeed! :)

[zomgchocobo]

agreed :)

[pcollenYT]

..and he doesn't even break a sweat. some guys got it, and some (like me, comparatively) DON"T.

[aal5124]

Aussie mullet picking power. Tommy Emmanuel makes it rain on them bitches!!!

[Batman001]

That's insane

[GuitarEkket86]

It's amazing even when tommy was this young, he pretty much kicks everyone's ass. and he looks so happy here, just as he always does now. It's a pleasure to watch him play.

[emilernebro]

how old is tommy in this video?

[Aenigmaa]

he seems to be about 18-19?

Not sure though.

[Stingerfyle]

Mmh, no, I would say he's about 25

[grimaldi07]

Je dirais 35 ans, sans problème, aujourd'hui il a quand même 53 ans ! La vidéo doit dater de 1990.

[Stingerfyle]

Ou tu sais que le video est de 1990?

[rainwaterfall]

pure genius

[jessupar]

i still find "please welcome tommy emamel" the funnyest thing ever.

[pantherpawed]

Rare to see him without his Maton. Is that a Takamine? Looks to be late 80's

[AlienFirefox]

christ martin is young there

[acoustique69]

[planetalk]

Great stuff, Tommy, you're the best.
