can anyone tell me why if he does not like tommy ammanuel then why every time i look at a different video of tommy do i keep seeing comments from Zooniethethird ( i would never look at something i did not like) very strange ?
It's shortsighted to say this guy plays out of his head, have u seen the humanitarian work he has done? check the video fo Mombasa, he's a caring person
go expand your horizons zoonle, dont just listen to 5 guys, which im sure you do. realize clapton was good, but there are many better in his field and others in DIFFERENT musical fields that do great things, im sorry not everyone is a standard 145 12 bars blues player...
I didn't call this guy crap! He's good, in a technical way, but the feeling is lost in his 'presentation'. It's almost as if the technique is hampering the feeling. Listen to Chet Atkins play this stuff and see the difference - much more laid back and in control of the notes (as if each note is as important as the next!). By the way, Chet is just outside my top ten favourates, so you're wrong to say I only listen to five players!
Hey Zoonie, without wanting to flame you: Have you listened to some other songs by Tommy? And did you know he recorded an album with Chet ("The Day Fingerpickers Took Over The World"), and that Chet gave him the title "Certified Guitar Player" (one of the three together with Jerry Reed and John Knowles?). I think you are too preconceived about Tommy, just give in a little more and perhaps you'll see that Tommy has GREAT feeling - IMHO! ;)
Yes, i have listened to a few on here. I thought his version of Over The Rainbow was awful. BUT, I did like his Walzting Matilda. SO, not all bad! I will check that album out - thanks for the recomendation! Who knows, maybe i am being too quick to judge!
To write such a relatively negative comment (playing with head and not heart) about THIS guy and at the same time mention your appreciation of Chet Atkins is a complete contradiction and can only be explained by your complete lack of insight into and listening of Tommys music. I urge you to buy or download his album 'Only', or which other album you really want (or not want), and come back here and say the same thing! :)

No one should compare Clapton and this cock sure 'rhythum' player. Clapton is a blues improvisor and was probably the best on the spot guitar player of his time. He plays from his heart. This guy plays from his head - and let's face it... it's big enough to hold a few tune!!!!
i see this all the time, some stubborn closeminded dick sees sometthing different, gets scared and spouts out whatever mainstream "guitar god" he can conjure up. word of advise: except the renovation on the instrument and realize the great diverse body of musicians continuing to inspire and shape music, no one does it alone
FUCK YOU FUCKING IDIOT THIS GUY IS PURE SOUL YOUR JUST FUCKING IDIOT PIEACE OF SHIT DUMBASS he kills clapton clapton sucks on emmanuels cock alllll day long
your a twat tommy is the best guitarist there is his feel is immense alone without knowing hes an amazin AMAZING player. and IS better than clapton. dont reply. i dont want to argue what i know is right.
FYI Tommy actually played with Eric Clapton, they are probably mutually impressed with each other. The funniest thing is, the better the musicians the more respectful, appreciative, loving and open to other musicians they become. There is no need competition at the top. Too bad not all fans understand.
Perfectly put. In the past I've spoken to Tommy about Pierre Bensusan, to Pierre Bensusan about Gordon Giltrap, to Eric Roche about Tommy Emmanuel - They all rate each other highly, never speaking negatively about one another!
That was like the best thing I've ever read here on youtube.
Mattyboy, how very fortunate of you to have met all these people! Has this been after/before concerts or maybe in some completely other context? Would be interesting to know :)
You just did :P But I agree they are not easy to compare. I like them both, but Tommy the most. I don't agree Tommy plays from his head. He just has an almost endless source of techniques he uses to fully express himself.
Yes I mean I think Tommy is the greatest and as good as Eric is the comparison is just silly. Tommy is one of the top 5 guitarists on the planet and has been for a very long time.
Shite quality? ok maybe but its a homevideo which I think makes it special and it oozes feel and TE just playing which is what the guitar is all about.
...this is for whoever filmed this...look up the old australian expression...WANKER.
