@TheTinker8671

[TheTinker6871]

He sure isn t lazy. I love all the battle scars on his guitar.

[weazle0203]

he isn´t from this world.

[Guitar1sti]

true shredder, hit him with electric guitar and made him play minor solos, and he will kick every metal guitar gods ass. in youre face jeff loomis and tosin abasin!!!!

[aslanarkungpapoker]

How can Justin Bieber have more than 2000 times more views than Emmanuel? What is going on with the world...

[lovoo08]

Tommy Emmanuel deserves more views and reputation.

[ricklandor]

Jaw, meet Floor.

[45locokid]

this guy is stupid fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped my guitar when i saw him for the first time

[TheFranconator]

Tommy is freaking amazing!!!!!!!! How could people actually dislike this? His playing is the best I've seen. Go Tommy!!!!! I hope young people see this and it inspires them to learn to play. I've been playing for a while now and I love it. Keep rockin Tommy. Your the freakin man!!!!

[Nelladagar]

Holy fucking schnitzel!!

[TosXMellow]

This guy just put me to shame all I can play is simple stuff Haha.

[bestpredator]

Ah, the finger pick isn't the problem. I can finger pick classical gas no problem. I'm talking about the fast pace strumming he does. Hard to figure out the pattern that he does.

[bestpredator]

Any tips on how to get that type of strumming down?

[desouza4you]

learn to finger pic tooo then get down only playing bass with your pic

[kennykennyman]

I Love Tommy

[royncas]

@J0sA1Ac

But after he learned to play guitar really well, I'm sure there at several hundred Tommy Emmanuel Jr.s running around. ;)

[brenden619]

So awesome, he loves to play and positive energy just flows out when he does.

[soadfts69]

O.O

[vicRATTLEhead92]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamesld001]

After watching this my guitar skills will forever be shite!!! :p

[rowlogic]

Tommy _O_

[pootinhammer]

lol Joeey is obviously not familiar with the internet yet

[TheDarkbite]

he must be replacing strings ever thursday XD

he's a god

[b0rNc0nfuseD]

@TheDarkbite Actually it's quite funny, cause in one of his inerviews he said he replaces string atleast 6 times a day....

[neoclasiccl]

@b0rNc0nfuseD actually he replaces his strings before every show.  He also changes brands due to temp, humidity, etc etc. I spoke with his guitar tech on tommy's forums.

[b0rNc0nfuseD]

@neoclasiccl Yeah I know... he also changes them cause he says that he doesn't want the guitar to get use to the strings... sound wierd but he said it in one of his Q and A's...

[008Zora]

20 people like justin beiber

[GORDON330]

"Country Flamenco" is born. Who needs an orchestra. It's perfect Judy as it is!

[METALHEAD4625]

hes so good dang it

[mytubesme]

Kind of amazing the guitar didn't burst into flames.

[Joeey]

@mytubesme If you actually listen to this track, he hits a lot of clams. It is not his best moment.

[MrSircharly]

what a guy......there is nobody absolutely nobody like him..!!!

[LOSTFREAK99]

i think i just had 50 orgasms at once

[charliebigplumz]

Holy shit!

[newnoggin2]

Hendrix and Clapton could play this easily! Ha HA !

[DavidPileGuitar]

there's no point for asking if anyone has tabs because i couldn't play it anyway ......

dam he's good

[Surfister]

One of the few guitar players who can play fast without being a fast sucker!!!! :P

[MrTwixinator]

Heard quite some tommy emmanuel vids and I never saw him hitting one single wrong note... Maby I'm wrong, but can you imagine how good that needs to be! It's just awesome. Maby he isn't even from this planet... we'll never know for shure.

I only know for shure that he's a god.

[hey1292]

great song and perfect title for it :D

[WeeHaScootchy]

he's in drop D

[gitaresco]

@WeeHaScootchy We forgive him.:0)

[JNieckarz]

Son of a bitch!!!! Tommy is incredible!

[MultiSteini]

never say never

[ningnongnelly]

There's people who think they can play, there's people who really can play, and then there's Tommy Emmanuel. The stand alone true genius of guitar of our era. Passion and perfection and musicality...all wrapped together. We luv ya T!!

[AllKillA]

Slow that track down by 50% and you get my speed :). Awesome guitarist!

[WeeHaScootchy]

ok

what brand of tommy's guitar is that

and where can i get one

[neoclasiccl]

@WeeHaScootchy

it's a Maton EBG808TE I the exact one. I play it in a few of my vids. It's a great guitar and is probably the best sounding guitar plugged in due to the amazing electronics in it.

[WeeHaScootchy]

@neoclasiccl thank you so much!

[frombaerum]

@neoclasiccl do you know if the maton guitar has the same electronics as cole clark?

[stratman21]

@frombaerum Don't know- I do believe the Cole Clark in layman's terms the wood is machine cut whereas maton still hand select the timbers for assembly. Actually I believe thats why Cole Clark exists, because he tried to convince maton to go machine profit based production and maton said no thanks we'll do it the way we always have. Which is why you occasionally get a cole clark pig, but they are cheaper. I think Tommy will make anything sound magical though, a rare gift to us all IMHO

[STmarks626]

@WeeHaScootchy I went to a Tommy Emmanuel concert in July, he said he only plays Maton guitars...a custom professional brand made in Australia. i want one too! he also has custom microphones and pickups inside the guitar (from Italy) to add to the percussion/beating effects. he is such an amazing musician and a great person, i genuinely feel bad for anyone that doesn't listen to him hahaha. good to see you have great taste in music. hope this was a help! keep rocking!

[xrtze]

@WeeHaScootchy It´s maton

[JoeLaFigue]

the laughing at the all beginning is more than funny XD

[bauii]

bög

[Formetheus]

Man, I need a gorgeous, well-worn guitar that sounds like that. So many acoustics these days are shit.

[seangnarboots]

One of my favorites from Tommy!

[Xerxes4242]

OH MAN, Blink 182 is WAY better than this.

...kidding, don't shit a brick:P

[boomchikalakaboom]

haha

[mtabet02]

@Xerxes4242 nice

[62623576]

I think i just came

[Xerxes4242]

@62623576 Twice?

[62623576]

62 times

[thisispiecake]

wut the heck just happened

i cant find my mind

it just exploded listening to this

[1189wanado]

have fun jaymac57. Saw the show on Monday at the Hawth Theatre. He played about a fith of the show on a small 1935 Gibson that was originally owned by a woman in the Nederlands and given to him by a dying freind. He went unplugged and cordless for us.What a treat. A warm and tender entertainer who that night surrounded himself in talent.

[Jik93]

@1189wanado as a matter of fact i knew that person. The guitar was owned by him (Peter). It's a black gibson kalamazoo if i recall correctly. It was a heartwarming gesture of Tommy to visit this man on his deathbed.

[jaymac57]

jaymac57 im seeing tommy in york uk on wednesday 10 cant wait

[jaymac57]

jaymac57 im seeing tommy in york uk wednesday cant wait

[frncvnll]

Tommy is the BEST!!!!

[BarryDennen12]

He's actually left handed - he's just playing right handed so that he doesn't completely blow people's minds.

[olderavi]

Those strings are taking a BEATING

[Xerxes4242]

I'm sure he changes them after every show. People like Don Ross change them during intermission, that's a guy who really attacks his strings.

[pootinhammer]

@Xerxes4242 I woild be afraid to change the strings in the middle of a show, the tone might go off during a song just because they are stretching a bit.

[jazznthgreen]

Wow !!!! One on a kind Talent ! Combined with Super Human neural synapse and motor function!!

[J0sA1Ac]

There will never be another Tommy Emmanuel.

[toolat6]

Someone pinch me and wake me up,,,Sweet

[synesthesia67]

tabs anyone?

[tman916x]

haha my girlfriend and I were just watching this and she was saying "I bet that when he sleeps his fingers do air guitar."

[yenrayNg]

@tman916x HAHha

[Jik93]

definately one of his harder songs to cover, but at least I tried :P

[fvanbeek]

Yeah I agree with you, I would like to hear your cover. Did you put it on youtube?

[Jik93]

jep

[fvanbeek]

A link would be nice but i'll look it up

[Yoshimo123]

I tried to cover it. I actually did not bad, if you slow it down.

[cybmz]

Best guitar player that ever heard!

[camomule]

FKKNG INCREDIBLE! Tommy...As Chet Atkins once confirmed upon you, Jerry Reed and Mark Knoppfler, you truly ARE one of the "Greatest Guitar Players Of The World!" I bow in the shadow of your excellence!

[Joyar1]

.... i just came

[dunpealjedi]

I've been playing for 15 years and ever time I watch Tommy play he makes me feel like I've never I don't know what I'm doing. Mastery of an instrument that pure is so rare. I highly recommend checking out Tommy's instructional DVD "Up Close" Two hours of stuff including a complete break down of The Hunt and about a dozen other songs of his.

[sk8rocksick1]

wow i cant even play 2% of what hes playing....

[mallee17]

i probably cant play 2% of your 2% !!!

[guitarshredder57]

@peewee2011 you couldn't be more wrong not even your subjective statement of you thinking he is bad this isn't overdubbed at all so how about you graduate high-school before you try to make such falsified statements as tommy emmanuel isn't playing.

[punishr36]

@peewee2011 He is playing.

I've played for over 30 years and he is playing the hell out of that guitar.

[rastamaniakTHC]

make a video, and show us all that you're playing....

[ParlorCake]

i love how you say "one word" then call HIM a retard idiot fuck XD

priceless mate

[ratchet20751]

thats three words you RETARD IDIOT FUCK

[ecurl]

When Tommy Emmanuel plays guitar, Chuck Norris listens.

[JBPURCELL]

Amen.

[rastamaniakTHC]

hehehehehehehe :D!

[iVanHalen666]

hahahaha)) +1

[sk8rocksick1]

rofl im with ya on that one!

[Joyar1]

@ecurl but tommy plays because chuck norris told him to

[RedWings4Life33]

@Joyar1 not true

[Joeey]

@ecurl Yes I know, that's the problem. Norris is a Repuli-thug creep, one of the bunch that has run the USA down to salt with their greed and dumb ego. Emmanuel is a musician and does not endorse business politicans, he's probably smarter than that. Chuck Norris is filling in the slot on the clock for John Wayne. At least Jackie Chan has a sense of humor and does new things which = "art."

[brenden619]

@Joeey LOL you must be new to the internet, listen up. Chuck norris = GOD on the intrawebs lol, you need to get in touch with our fucked up lingo. And yes i said intrawebs lmao.

[Joeey]

@brenden619 those who believe in the one true God lead, they do not follow. Norris is an American actor and if you look into his politics, he endorses big power. you will likely not find Mr. Norris making any Windmill of solar energy commercials. Why is he so seductive to you? Ruddy complexion? Golden hair? Does Mr. Norris stand up for the Statue of Liberty? Liberty for who? Who demolished 9/11 WTC 7? Who put the explosives in place? Was it Norris? Was it O'Reilly? Was it Glen Beck / Limbaugh?

[brenden619]

@Joeey Wow bud way to take something out of context. Its not about politics, its about him always playing some wanna be badass like walker texas ranger, its just a big joke on the internet is all, you are taking things too seriously chill out. I know all about the bilderberg group, the traces of thermite, what have you but that has nothing to do with it.. We joke around about chuck norris having like super powers. How old are you, are you that out of touch, its a joke not a serious statement.

[Mistabutts]

@Joeey I think you have just lost the game in the most amazing fashion

[JoeyBackus]

Crazy guitarist XD.

And it sounds nice :P

[synesthesia67]

anyone have tips on that?

[rastamaniakTHC]

yeah i've got the best tip when you ask about guitar...practice.

[Joet80t]

Tommy claimed he practices upwards of 14 hours a day. So there ya go. Quit your job, quit eating, sleeping, and all other things and you will have a chance to be as good as him.

[synesthesia67]

holy shnikes...I guess I DONT want to be that good...lol

[IvikHostrup]

@Joet80t Hah, crap.. I've done 13 hours a few times.. But that really killed me haha.

[rastamaniakTHC]

Yeah, and travel back in time because he's playing i think since he wa 8yo ;]

[synesthesia67]

ok...not moving bass..just the d octaves with the snappy chords on the right hand...I'm bafled...the counterpoint is so tricky but it sounds so easy..and it's DIFFICULT...

[Joet80t]

lol it sounds far from easy mah dude

[synesthesia67]

thats just sick...I love the middle part with the quick stops and the moving bass...I figured out about all of the rest of the song...but that one's stumping me a little....it's amazing how effortless it seems to be for him....

[iwearprada06]

all you can do is sit there with your jaw on the floor. he's so amazing. heard about him on Bob and Tom and been listening ever since. a true musical genius.

[TitaniumPT]

uberleet skills, perfect!

[sk8rocksick1]

i wanna see him play on electric with heavy distortion.... this is just amazing

[ox0Jason0xo]

my god i was thinking the exact same thing i think this could sound so gd with distortion tommy would own at metal

[maciekfingerstyle]

@ox0Jason0xo lol, why own at metal if you can own at 100 times harder Tommy Emmanuel music

[europhicbliss]

awesome song.

i can play it.

but like... fourty thousand times slower...

XD

[synesthesia67]

you're ahead of me dude...

[beginner4life]

He is so amazing

[glorygiver]

Soo good three and a half minutes passed by in two second. Wow!

[synesthesia67]

well..I thought I had found tommy's weakness to be with single note fast flatpicking..but,..this proves me wrong...he's the best...

[Beshimi]

Tommy? weakness? the only way to apply a weakness to Tommy is to consider being "too awesome" a weakness.

[YSBCITTAR]

The only weakness Tommy has is no one can play his music lol.

[WhyteRomeo]

not true lol.... not many people can play his music well, but it is possible. I can play The Hunt, Tall Fiddler, Mombasa, Train to Dussledorf, Finger Lakes, Guitar Boogie and some more of his softer more melody oriented pieces flawlessly. It just takes concentration and HOURS of repetition, but do know that those impossible licks are very much attainable with the right amount of determination. Once you are past that point it is Tommy's incredible composing abilities that make him shine.

[dougieboy88]

Vids, or it never happened lol

[Sm0keSG]

hahaha good one :D

[bungle0]

gods have no weakness

[papstbenni]

sick!

[TheTaylord17]

this is just AMAZING!!!!

[fishmax2]

wow

[plattnacke]

The cool thing is that you can actually see the hunter and he's dog hunting whatever you hunt in the austrailian desert :p

Way cool!!

[garrethdavis]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

possibly the most talented and unique guitarist of our era

[m0hi95]

I think Tommy is the best guitarist we've ever had!

[NoobMaster000]

this inspires me as a guitarist but also discourages me cuz ill never be as goodo as him. =s

[reardonville]

So True......

[AECSRQ]

why doesn't Tommy get more recognition in the US and Europe?

[Zarimus]

Solo acoustic guitar doesn't get much fame even if you're amazing, which he is. Even if he performed electric (and Tommy is an amazing electric guitarist too) it's a small niche in the market.

[NoobMaster000]

because hardly anyone appreciates classic music, specificaly acoustic. everyone listens to rap which is a darn shame

[99coNor99]

the guitar is supposed to look so batterd, down at the base near the pins where its all worn aways her runs his pick down it and it sounds like a wash board type thing, the rest of it from him beating the hell out of coz he's so gnarley..

[valvetrom]

real battle scars

[tenacious645]

his music makes me smile out of envy

[palourdo]

hes the best fucking mofos on this earth

[TimmysHQ]

My toughts is that we will never - ever see such a talanted guitar palyer :O

[garrethdavis]

i agree.

like this guy must play in his sleep.

just

wow .unreal

[frennirockin]

Look how battered his guitar is, still sounds perfect though...tommy's an awesome player, one of the best

[Maorisidol]

its called wearing it in lol

[bgggbb]

Baaaahahaha! The guy laughing right at the start has a funny laugh! Amazing song though! Tommy is the man!

[lobbles69]

that was tommy laughing mate

[taschenrechnerftw]

It´s just great :) I Love it!

[UrbanCOwBoy32]

i want to see the right bionic arm do some flamenco crazy shit...

[Leroysnails]

i reckon he's got a guitar instead of a dick.

[gmsillfilms]

I want to suck Tommy's fat dick.

He must have a fucking monster cock to play guitar like that, I'm talking 10" of long hard aussie cock. Fuck I am gay aren't I...

[huix107]

he does the legato so accurate

[sweeetsmoke]

what legato lol?

[Maceofblades]

You think it is good on youtube you should try and see him in concert. That was an amazing show. I have seen him twice so far and I will go the next time he is in my area again.

[muantboy]

this guy isn't playing the guitar anymore....he IS the guitar

[VoiceOfTheWhirlwind]

GOOD COMMENT:-)

[dibwav]

... how in the hell... my eyes hurt watching his fingers move... pure awesomeness
