@KNT0791 He's amazing but i dont think your point is true. It takes YEARS of constant practice and learning and mastering your instrument. No one is born to do anything... you just have tonnes and tonnes of practice. Any one can get great with the right attitude and most importantly learning the right things
@markbusk Your point is also not completely true. I met him in London once after his show and I asked him to have a look at his hand. His hand is extremely big and his fingers are different from other people. I don't know if it's caused by his practicing or something, but he told me that his hand is very big and guys with a smaller hand like me can never play some songs from him. He can play two notes on neighboring strings with one finger, even with his thumb. That's the real talent part.
I love Tommy but every time I look at him I can't help but think that he looks a lot like a Koala. Hehe maybe he was one in a previous life. He is from Australia...
Suddenly I'm not feeling very well....I need a lie down so I can devise the best way to reduce my guitar to a pile of soot without causing too much peripheral damage...100 gallons of petrol and a stick of dynamite should do the trick...that'll teach my neighbours not to bang on the walls when I'm practicing....sort of like obliterating 157 endangered species of bird with one stone.Love the idea!!!
@ElectricRay My favourite would be a duet, acoustic guitar and electric bass guitar. No synthesizers, no bullshit like that. Just two talented musicians and their instruments playing their favourite songs.
I love Tommy's playing but there is one thing I'm not overly fond of and that is the loud smack he often plays. I don't think it is that musical, to frequently whack it.
After seeing him on one of the PBS beg-a-thons a few days ago, I immediately ordered a DVD of his online. Never did that ever for any artist. I'm blown away.
Saw him 20yrs ago , then 10yrs ago and about 5yrs ago , he was essentially the best guitar player form Australia ever . He used to play the Basement in sydney with a beat up fender start and his brother Phil who can also play a bit as well not like Tommy but
Tommy came to my high school to talk to the performing arts students, and he played this song for us. He blew me away! You have got to see this guy play live, its unlike anything you have ever seen before.
When Tommy goes to heaven he is going to be God's personal guitar instructor. WOW. Talent personified. Precision like no other. Improvisation with a touch of flair. Thanks Tommy.
This guy is just great IMO, every grace note, harmonics played precisely, the man is a genius with his guitars & it apparent that he loves what he does. The best of luck Tommy. irra
This guy is just great IMO, every grace note, harmonics played precisely, the man is a genius with his guitars & it apparent that he loves what he does. The best of luke Tommy. irra
You know, when all is said and done, and that great big book of all the great guitar players that ever lived is compiled it would be a complete injustice if this man does not have a whole chapter to himself...Tommy Emmanuel can reach any emotion and knows every trick in the book backwards, he truly belongs in the top pantheon...Gerry
you kno wat the sickest thing about this is,, hes wearing a fuckin thumb pick and hes just strummin the shit outta it during day tripper its fuckin insane
This is the magic of music. You can go to any country and attempt to do stand up comedy, or even tell a story. But, unless you're speaking in their language, you won't get much of a reponse.
On the other hand, you can go to any country and play an instrument, and get a response.
Music has but one language, people, and we all speak it.
God or whatever got nothing to do with this mans work. It's all him. Stop putting praise where it doesn't belong. Tommy has worked hard, you said it yourself. But he shoulnd't have to share that with no fairy tale creature...
the funny thing is, that with most guitarplayers, you find some fan here on youtube playing their songs actually better than themselves. thats not the case with Tommy. not one single case
Tommy is one of my husbands idols...but, I would'nt recommed buying any of his merchandise from certifiedguitarplayer,com. The man who does the selling of Tommy's merchandise "Ed" double charged me for a $100.00 order which caused three of my checks to bounce costing me another $100.00 in fees. After calling "Ed' to attempt to resolve the matter he basically told me "tough luck, not my problem" He cancelled my "paid for" order without notice and my husband did'nt receive the gifts for Christmas
It's amazing how many people, including myself have found other uses for guitars. Plant pots, coat stands and many other interesting items. This incredible feat of recycling usually occurs directly after watching a Tommy Emmanuel performance.
1 in a million that can have his particular style & enthusiasm...He's a true performer,very entertaining...I only wish he'd come to the States someday.
@scallly64 Look at his website and check the tour dates. Tommy does many shows in the U.S. I saw him in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2009; and I will bet that he has done many gigs in the U.S. in 2010. In concert, he said that he plays 330 dates per year, which is a crazy amount.
@scallly64 His website shows that he is scheduled to play about 18 gigs in the U.S. just in the first 2 months of 2011. And he will be back later in the year.
Does anyone want to bue a guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
