Early Tommy Emmanuel - Who Dares Wins

[JishGuitar]

@theoglebrothers

use your ears, you got them for a purpose. He just improvises a lot, so do that as well

[TheOgleBrothers]

@JishGuitar I have managed to learn half of it by ear. took a while though.

[TheOgleBrothers]

does anyone know how to get tabs for this???

[fretboardmaster1]

@TheOgleBrothers Tommys site used to have pdf tab download for his old stuff, $10 per book I think, what I want is backing tracks lol

[joshanator1]

No dispute!

[dunsefrede]

Tommy is one of the world's best guitar players!!!! :D

[vandanross]

THis guy is good.  If ya like tommy Check out another Aussie guitarist called Andrew Toner.... He is the best I've heard!!!

[darksectc1]

His phrasing is out of this world.

[RORYzRIGHT]

Now you all know what a living legend look and sounds like.Keith Urban And I quote. "Tommy Emmanuel is tuned in to something much higher than all of us."

[JoshuaRowGuitarist]

that bass player still moves the same way to this very day. daw him touring with tommy and phil for the 50th anniversary tour a few weeks back.

[finder85]

@JoshuaRowGuitarist you are right, I also saw him and I recognized him imidiately :D

[thavador]

i would build my house on these leadparts =D

[azmanntoz]

I think this music is best listened to with your eyes closed. Mostly to avoid looking at those weird fashions.

[zenncatt]

@azmanntoz

Yeah, or the exaggerated movement and facial grimaces. A turn off.

[StevieVaibanez]

WHODESWINS.

[1winnemucca1]

Im praying for Tommy to obey Acts 2:38, so he will make sure to get to heaven so all God's people can enjoy his gifted music.

[Rafterman123]

@1winnemucca1 I'm afraid not - he already sold his soul to the Devil....

[j4m35k4n9]

@1winnemucca1 Tommy is a christian already...

[Powerslider]

is he using lace sensors or something like that in this awesome sounding guitar? damn what a sound!

[franklasa]

amazing;

this song reminds me a bit of shawn lane.

[jesusharney]

@franklasa i feel a bit of Eric Johnson in there as well

[lordofdastrings76]

@jesusharney You mean, you feel a bit of Tommy Emmanuel in Eric Johnson? right?

[denaubin]

Tommy is the only best gitarist

[snakeweirdo]

This is quite 80's style.

[denaubin]

The best ever of Tommy

From Canada

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

thats the SASR's motto,'who dares wins'

[MrTheKINGHIMSELF]

oyoyoy

[master244]

cant get any better then this just makes you wanna throw you guitar away

[Powerslider]

keep practicing m8. making music is 10 % inspiration and 90% transpiration :P

[jazzmade]

he ist great and one of my favorite guitarplayers in the world!!! god bless u tommy!!!!!

[AnnHattieAnn]

Tommy is one of just a few whose love of the guitar rings in every chord. Rock on, Tom E.!

[pj1974]

oh yes, definitely a solid 9/10 on the cheese-o-meter there. no electric drumkit means it misses the perfect 10. great playing from Tommy as always though.

[danielgopies1]

weird

[MikaelLilienthal]

THE CHEESE IS OVERWHELMING

I love Tommy though

[melodicdreamer72]

I think that just blew the doors off every room in the house here!

[Ljunghusen]

Michael J. Fox, anyone?

[rockandbloodyroll]

does anyone know what amp he uses?

[jakadaba]

Sounds like an advanced BH90210 intro ...hehe

[3439ra]

i liked the guitar boogie vid(from same concert) but this is just another vid of him i dont like ! he is missing something. im sure mark is agree. lol. but he is one of the best still. when it comes to picking that is

[tubecat72072]

My two favorites are T.E. and Eric Johnson. Both, very unique in their own way. I'd love to see them together in concert, not as a comparison between the two, but because I know they would put on a hell of a show together!

[trumpetfish1]

maybe in a G3 to :)

[tubecat72072]

Satch, Vai, Johnson, and Emmanuel... G4:) Would be an interesting combo.

[Jcthefluteman]

and James Morrison?

[fanqueen]

I would love to see that too!

[shotty32145]

hahahah loll at the bass player hes awesome. man i loved this guy since i was like 5, mum had the album and i listened to everyday, then so many years later i find this on youtube and still know every note haha

[Frank081287]

just great.. can't stop lissening .. i play it every day :D

[N123I456C]

a lot of soul

[philippaps44]

i have found only his acoustic guitar songs

[Powerslider]

cos u can use ur ears? it isnt such a complicated song afteral.

okay, tab for saltwater & such, yes. but for this, try listening :)

[MarianaMartino]

que gran guitarrista es tommy es un virtuoso tamnto en la electrica como en el fingerstyle (acustica) y en esta si es dificil tocarla... esta cancion tiene algo parecido a yanni en la armonia......

[J0sA1Ac]

Really would like to see him release a new album on his electric guitar...

This is pure ownage. King of melodies.

[GabrielKai]

Noone is the most better in the world, there's tons of amazing players AND musicians at the same time. Tommy is one of them. and there are tons of amazing not very known ones as also. I'd love to see when people is going to stop comparing strawberries with onions. Music is either good or bad, pain and simple.

[cjwigsly]

damn.. i like the way you put that.

[kitchensink01]

This man is simply AMAZING.

He is the definition of flawless music.

He has music, rythm and passion just dripping off him. Its truely amazing and so inspirational.

He could break dishes at a greek wedding and make it sound amazing.

[clungepuncher]

fuck thats mean!!

[Anthonyhimself]

I agree with Junik

I prefer guitar players like Joe Satriani above the "sweep" guitar players, offcourse Joe can also schred but he only does when it's a good moment for it, when the song screams for it ;)

also Tommy knows how to play guitar and he puts alot of emotions into it, that's the face of a guitar master

[koleola]

this was great!... except for the cynth..

guitarplay from another dimension, though

[Junik1981]

Nothing to say, maybe the best guitar player on earth.....many people think speed is the most important thing to be a guitar god. But speed is less important than passion, feeling and knowledge. But Tommy plays perfect, any mistakes and also emotional. 5 Stars!

[Epicus]

Lol, I don't know what you talkin about, but watch some of his other stuff, especially new stuff on the acoustic... he's lightning fast w/ precision...

[vever]

Sure, but it's not the fact that he plays fast that makes that he's probably the best guitarist on earth but his feeling and his love for music.

[wojtekmetal]

@Junik1981 Man, he is fast as hell when it comes to acoustic, so propably he is also so fast with electric guitars:). Conclusion - he is perfect.

[TheDukeofEarls]

@Junik1981 I agree but one thing to add... Tommy is also one of the fastest I have ever heard, his fingerpicking on the acoustic outdoes metal shred guitar in speed. Best guitarist in history

[JesuitFarmer]

@Junik1981 And tommy also plays as fast as they come....

[Spenfinity]

@Junik1981 Did someone say he was slow??!! He plays much faster songs on acoustic.

[yamamonkey]

@Junik1981

What I like about Tommy Emmanuel is that he combines incredible speed with emotion. I think that is what makes him one of the greatest guitar players; the fact that he's so good in both aspects

[fanqueen]

LETS GO! TOMMY!

[fackingwinker]

I'd rather hear him solo on an acoustic like on his 'live one' album where he is just on a different planet from anyone i've ever heard. Sounds harsh, but on an electric with a back up band he sounds like any other good guitarist.

[fanqueen]

Yes, but is because he can do all. He can play a lot of stiles, he is a great musician. One of the best of the EARTH!

[Chromatype]

A lot of STYLES...

[StubfingeredDave]

Ah, I don't know. There's good, and there's Tommy on electric. There's something about his lead style which is removed from all the good players. Like with Andy Timmons or Steve Morse, he manages to hit notes that most people never even consider.

It is awesome how he plays acoustic though. I'm just more into the very slightly cheesy 80s-esque guitar anthems.

[Batman001]

Well said

[fede567]

does anyone knows where i can get this show from? pleaseeeeeee

[wolgytn]

now thats music

[toocaran]

just reminds of the aussie SAS regiment 'who dares wins'

well done tommy!!

[joeninetyjoe]

Amazing just how versatile that guy is. Bet he can still do it.

[sharbohemia]

awesome.... glad I watched this. ~S

[dyball24]

i actually rekon tommy goes better on electric and should go back to playing electric sometimes .

unreal !

[martinaxman]

Tommy's an outstanding musician on any instrument (also an expert percussionist). No offense, but after watching tons of these videos I'd have to say his real medium is the acoustic. The reason is only his ability to pull as much or more from the audience on a sole instrument as he does here with a full band. Now if we can just get him to New England...

[wobinidan]

No disrespect to all the people who have said they like this, but I am SO glad that he plays acoustic now. Obviously, this is technically genius, but not something I would listen to more than once, personally.

[japan2themax]

No offence taken. The full blown version of this song performed with the Aust Philharmonic Orchestra on Classical Gas is far more powerful and doesn't have that 80s sheen that this does. Still, great to see a few decades worth of Tommy on youtube. Cheers.

[fede567]

i like both tommy emmanuel.

talking about likes and dislikes, anyone can agree or disagree always, cause i would listen to this more than once.

[japan2themax]

You champ! thanks so much for posting this!!!

[jamavery23]

An amazing song by an amazing guitarist, kind of sounds like Eric Johnson.

[timiexperience]

Lol 'Early' Tommy Emmanuel, he's been playing professionally for 50 years.

[metz137]

Lets not make Tommy that old! He just celebrated his 52nd birthday in May. I think he's been playing since he was 4,maybe 6, unless you count when he was dancing to the washing machine when he was in diapers!! Joanne

[jessupar]

now there is one thing i thought i'd never see... TE on electric. What next? perhaps some slow blues with a slide? hahaha. awesome song though.

[christoforous]

always love the acoustic stuff, and one more electric album down the road sometime would be great too.

Mitch Farmer was the drummer

[ES33567]

hey anyone know who's the drummer?

[ES33567]

hey anyone know who's the drummer?

[TichejBill]

Thatś absolutely indescribable!!! WIK3 is right!

[nannahill]

Love the Angus guitar camera ... thanks Gina and Milan ... this is vintage Tommmy!

[razzataztaz]

This is one of the best songs tommy has done on electric guitar. I love it. I have a quote from the inside of the determination cover

'WHO DARES WINS: This version seems to say "But...What id?" The choruses shout back "Go for it! Who Dares Wins!"'

It is absouletly true, you can really hear it!

[razzataztaz]

sorry, made a typo. its ment to say "But...What If?"

[mrEman777]

Thanks Gina & MIlan ;-) - just wanted to be one of the first to post a comment on this great clip

[mrEman777]

Rocks with class!!! Nice to see another YouTube clip with TE playing electric. Thanks for up-loading

[WiK3]

perfect :)
