Mr. Guitar - Tommy Emmanuel

[Mobiusgen]

This is awesome. Truly.

[martinaxman]

Sheesh. Everyone's a critic. I'd say it's pretty damned good. I can only hope to be able to get to your level someday. Thanks.

[stawney]

@martinaxman

Thank you very much! Appreciate that

[et7waage1]

Very nicely played! Good style!

[iamdoogle]

[GherkinGob]

[helterphilter]

Really good job man !

[fabfob90]

[supermaq4]

Nice job! Sounds great.

[FatalityG15]

Little bit flat on some of the Notes... otherwise not too bad at all :)

[stawney]

I can't deny that ;-) thanks!

[Incisionator]

Sounds great. A bit to roomy maybe, but nice playing !

[acousticguitarfan]

Cheers,

[djon34]

From what Ive seen, you have the most acurate version of this on youtube! Well done! Im using you version to learn this tune myself

[shanehennessyguitar]

great playing.

what brand of guitar is that you have?

[stawney]

Thank you! It's a Crafter

[jdstorms]

Beautifully played!  Enjoyed it! 5/5

[drotmedeny]

Another great TE song that I wasn't aware of. Boy, I gotta go out and boy some more of his CD's.

[yankeeG]

If he tried to do that with a CD, he'd be sued. It's not a tribute, It's dishonesty. Use the word COVER in the title, and it is NOT. that simple as that.

[stawney]

Who said I'd do that with a CD?! That's just a different story.

Well if you think it's dishonest, then that's just your opinion. I know myself that I never intended to put Mr. guitar himself in any dishonesty and I just made this video as a tribute and also because I liked the song. I use his name because I'm referring to him, just like almost everybody on youtube.

Who are you to tell me what to do?!

Just do your thing... I won't spend anymore time on your messages.

Make music not war ;)

[yankeeG]

YOU ARE NOT TOMMY, so People should not watch your vids without you changing the title. You are an all right player, but it's dishonest.

[pasha355]

its just a title man, be cool

[yankeeG]

Then be cool and change the TITLE.

[stawney]

Sorry for you, but too bad I'm not really cool :(

[jg4577]

Just curious as to what it is you want him to correct? The song is titled "Mr. Guitar" and Tommy Emmanuel wrote it. He explains that in his description. Spend a little time on his page (and the pages of the other guys I'm sure you're slamming) and you'll probably never find any of them trying to pass themselves off as Tommy. If anything, they post renditions of his songs as a tribute. It is a sign of respect. BTW, if Tommy had a problem with it he would have had many pages shut down by now.

[WetherbyWelsh]

Excellent job.

[R1CKtheR0CK]

Hey great Tommy Emmanuel cover!

Very good work!

Best regarts!

Richard

[stawney]

Thank you very much Richard!

[Clarislombartsongs]

superb!

[rnrhc10]

It sounded like the master itself.

I do admire people who play Tommy songs that well. I know you've got to be a skillfull guitarist to do this.

absolutely beautiful, stawney! I know you end up seeing the TE vids and commenting before me just about every time, so I know you are a rabid TE fan like me. That makes this rendition of the TE song even better, because you NAILED it! This vid will be featured on the Acoustic Virtuosity Archives (bigdood - playlists - Tommy Emmanuel Covers). Great job, Stanley -- I am jealous of your ability and talent! :-)

Stanley

[AnchoriteProductions]

Thanks for the feedback Stanley. I've been looking at different mics getting ready to record a CD. I'm using two Shure SM81s right now. Thanks again, Derek

[stawney]

Aha that's so cool man.

No, thank you. It's a pleasure for the ear to be able to listen you're beautiful music.

Please let me know when you're cd is ready.

Those two Shure's sounded so full and bright btw!

Stanley

[AnchoriteProductions]

Excellent job stawney! What kind of mic are you using? Sounds really good.  I've been looking at different mics and am just curious. Thanks for posting and sharing! -Derek

[stawney]

Hi Derek,

Thanks so much! Appreciate it.

The microphone is relatively cheap. Not the best, but you get great value for the money.

It's called Samson C03u (USB Microphone)

Cheers

Stanley

[Mrzzajjazz]

Great playing- great tune! :)

[tubedomi]

great, really good feeling !!

[australiarod]

Excellent playing man.

[112358miau]

Me gusta especialmente cuando pasa a La menor (si es que esta afinada normal) I love the ending. Very good playing

[fridrikur]

Great playing right down to the last lick.

[bigdood]

Excellent, Stawney! I just saw TE in Nashville last night and I was pretty surprised at how sloppy he sounded... is he OK? Has he recovered fully from the heart thing? It was a good concert, but I rarely hear "clunkers" when TE plays, but there was at least one in most songs... several times he shook his head back and forth in disgust... a very surprising performance, and quite frankly, this "Mr. Guitar" that you did sounds every bit as good or better than TE did tonight... :-(

[bigdood]

Watch my you tube page in the next week or so, I shot the whole concert on HD DVD and will be posting several vids once I get them edited.

[stawney]

Thanks so much bigdood!!

Appreciate it.

I also went to a concert of TE after his recovery a while ago, but at the time he sounded amazing as always.

Tommy is known as such a smooth guitar player who doesn't almost make some slip ups. I would be suprised too if he sounded that choppy.

I'm looking forward watching your videos of that concert!!

Stanley

[zacharron]

Great job Stawney! Your timing was very good. I'd say work your thumb a bit harder to get that snap in the bass like Tommy.

[stawney]

Thanks zacharron!

Thanks for the tip!

Stanley

[CindyPeress]

great playing, lovely guitar

[Ethan2Rock]

That was awesome, congrats, you roack. Ethan

[stawney]

Thanks for watching Ethan :)

Appreciate it.

Stanley

[harmusic]

great work *****

[bree787878]

Again a good job Stawney!

[LothoMillstone]

aruhg. you people with your independent thumb! No mater how many times i try to do that it just doesnt seem easy... hehe

i enjoyed! thanks!

[stawney]

Keep trying hehe

Thanks for your kind words!

Stanley

[LothoMillstone]

I swear my brain isnt wired that way.. but its just about practice i guess.

how long did it take for you?

Love TE. Great guy.. soft soft hands too.

I remember a concert i went to, he waited after the show to meet everyone and have a chat. He apparently used to camp with his family in the area's ive grown up.

but honestly.. he sits there and taps a 4 count with one hand, then says "oh and its real easy, just tap a 3 with the left hand - do both at the same time!" WTF! lol its in the brain

[stawney]

Well it's just about practising and practising and it will get automatic yeah. When you get into the thing, it will be a piece of cake.

I've learnt this song in about 2/3 days, but it's not that big. There is only an intro which is the same as the outro, 3 times the same verse and another verse/chorus, whatever you'd like to name it.

Not many artist wait after a concert to meet everyone and give an autograph. TE does that almost every concert I think. Isn't that great.

Stanley

[pegxxx]

Excellent! Thanks for the posting.

[MAJORTITANICFAN]

very impressive skills! your awesome!
