Some hardcore guitar abuse in there... I wouldn't even dare to bend my guitar like that. But nevertheless an absolutely stunning performance. I'm so glad I'm going to see Tommy in two weeks!
@Vouk73 That would have been a great show. He IS the blues.
By all means, it is magnitudes better. If you go to see him, if you don't know, be advised he signs autographs BEFORE the show. I've missed getting his 3 years in a row! Not next year, if I have to camp out in SF for a week!
Take care, thanks for the kind words to my daughter.
Vouk73! Get thee to a Tommy Concert, at least once in your life! We love him here in the bay area. The audience looks like a mixture all the way from a professor at Berkeley to a biker.
Sometimes he goes to Munich, where I have family. I told them they need to go see him even if I have to send them the Euros. So make a weekend of it, or vacation. But you must...MUST...witness the magic.
Thanks for the message, and take care. BTW, I Iove Salzburg, and my daughter has friends in Vienna.
Very well put! I couldn't agree more. I've seen Tommy 3 times, have tickets for the fourth, and don't care what anyone else thinks of him. Thanks for posting!
@tedh754 I envy you! I'm waiting for him to come near me... He's touring Europe every once in a while but it doesn't seem like he's planning on visiting Austria... Shame, really!
Ok, you guys are retarded. Seriously. If you would rather listen to Ynqwie over Tommy, be my guest. But Tommy plays with more feel and dynamic than a lot of the 'greats' out there. Tommy can tear it up on electric or acoustic, but he holds back because he knows that the song doesn't always call for that. Playing with emotion and getting your audience into the song is much more effective than playing fast or sweeping or whatever. Very few guys out there can feel the song like Tommy can.
There is always a Cog909, no matter what. If you said one of the guitarists he mentioned was the best, he'd be the contrarian. People like him can't help it. They have nothing better to do.
I love Tommy. But not because he's the best guitarist ever-he's not- but because he's entertaining and enjoys playing so much that I have as much fun watching him. Doesn't mean he's best.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dont think theres anything to discuss about this video, I think the discussion here should be about how many people here are from reddit. I know there are a lot of you here. REDDITORS UNITE AND GATHER YOUR UPGOATS!!!
He's just unbelievable. I don't know who else could play like this - Scotty Anderson, maybe - let alone sing *well* while doing it.
Still, I wish he'd ditch the piezo pickups and stick a magnetic soundhole in that thing, or just play electric. I love acoustic guitar, but I'd rather hear a good mag-pickup electric tone than the buzzy, overly-bright, crash-and-bang tone heard here.
And "they" call elvis the king of rock and roll. We have a guy who died on the toilet and was a creation of an ad agency or two.
And America has welcomed Tommy with open arms and he has shown us talent like that tupelo fraud never had. If you are a Tommy fan, then you know true talent.
Sure, it was a different time back the, but the same geniuses who gave us elvis also gave us lady gaga and the new kids on the block. true talent survives.
You haven't seen Tommy till you've seen him live. I have, 3 years in a row in Frisco, and it has been Awesome! Oh, that's right, people from Frisco consider the use of Frisco to be an insult. Well, I'm from a real city. Frisco is a tourist trap.
How overboard do you want me to go. I believe this is the single best performance i've ever seen by any performer, and I've seen him live twice. Last time in Savannah, Ga. only 100 seats in a room built for sound. There's a lot of music in that man and when he plays people are in awe; you feel happy, some weep; but it is a spiritual experience. Many have played the guitar well, but Tommy exceeds them all.
@mosfet33 "It's incredible what this man can do with a guitar. No one in this world is able to get these sounds from an acoustic. Tommy is from another world."
I've seen Tommy 3 years running in San Francisco and I listen to his music every day. And every time I hear something new and he continues to amaze me and all my friends.
hes actually the best guitarist, no one comes close, btw hes on acoustic,imagine if you asked him to get creative on an electric, and i thought hendrix was god.
Are you kidding me? No exceptions? Do you live under a rock? Ever heard of Paco De Lucia? Alan Holdsworth? Charlie Hunter? Leo Kottke? Joe Pass? Yngwie Malmsteen? And those are just off the top of my head.
In the world of guitar players, this guy is mediocre at best. Dominant chords and some flashy alternate picking on Blues scales doesn't make you the best in the world. No exceptions.
Mediocre at best? This guy plays with more feeling than many of the players you listed. I'd rather listen to someone that can play with soul than someone that can play fast with some cool guitar tricks. Tommy Emmanuel makes the instrument sing, and that is the reason he is phenomenal.
@Kamayzing Just like BB... Those guys can make single notes sing and say more than ten whole minutes of shredding and cool guitar tricks like you've put it :]
Besides that... Arguments about who's the best are damn stupid. Feel it or leave it.
