Wow I just love it when the bass/"Tom's Thumb" kicks in at 0:30. Groovy.

[windsurf7772]

please come back home tommy to australia where you belong all of australia wants there best guitarist back.

[MattkNT]

this remind me of his song Tall fiddler

[digittydog]

Can someone please tell me how to play the two chord forms from 1:18-1:21? I have looked at several people's tabs and they're tragically wrong in may areas. I don't know if it's bad ears, giving up, or what but I cannot find a good transcription of this tune. help!

[WhyteRomeo]

get Realplayer, download the best and clearest video you can find of tommy playing this song... then download VLC media player and open the video file with it and use the zoom and slow down speed features to find out w/e you want about tommy's tunes...

[digittydog]

Good idea. I'll do this for the tunes I still want to learn. Afraid to look that close at any I've already "figured out".

[mfgx5hf2]

@digittydog watch this video and his fingers and pause it when you want to see where his fingers are. Fiddle around with it yourself to find the right sound, it will help your ear too. Hope that helps.

amazing!

[rapidfire21]

he played this as an opening to the sydney concert. his waltzing matilda was amazing! i got shivers at that point.

[mecander]

He did too at canberra!! It was my first to see him live. Man!! This guy is my guitar idol. In fact, he is a good guy too. Said few words which inspired me a lot that night. A night that I'll never forget.

[luvcomedy123]

he did it aswell in brisbane, hes so awesome

[wellberreta]

Reminds Me Of Endless Road

[Creationstepper2007]

This is so crazy!!! He use his thumbpick while he play to make the percussion... unbeliveable!!!

[therlihy1]

Well, it's Rochester New York, not Rochester Kent.

[castellammare1]

ORCHESTRA MAN ALL IN ONE !

[Bondidog]

Just another great sound. In many Tommy clips you hear him make the guitar sound like a harp.  In this one, (from about 2:00 on) it sounds like a hammered dulcimer. Given Tommy's talent, I wouldn't be at all surprised if I heard him make a guitar sound like a trumpet :-)). Just brilliant.

[spiritrelaxhq]

love your style Tommy, hope you live for thousand years, and me too so I can go to many many concerts of yours : ))

[guitarSoul92]

mr. emmanuel, you're awesome!

[AlexKitch]

I don't think the grey suit does his age any favours. It adds a lot of years I think! But who cares, I'll still be worshipping him when he's 64 :-)

[mogofou]

he's about to have 53 years old with almost all his hair (okay, more white than before...) and a still great guitar playing. Happy Birthday, sir !

[raikchemnitz87]

his birthday is the day after tommorrow at 5/31/1955

[abrebel]

Woot! Keep 'em coming.

[HungarianGuitarist]
