I'm not gonna study jazz, rock or classic music.. Hell no.. I'm gonna study Tommy Emmanuel.. And it's gonna take me the rest of my life to learn just a bit of what he can do. Amazing player.
I'm with you. I saw Tommy three months ago here in the United States and I am still awestruck. I have joked to my family that if I can't ride horses I'm going on the road as a Tommy Emmanuel groupie. And I'm 51!
He's not always using Martin strings. Tommy variates between the strings brand. He doesn't uses the DI boxes anymore, he just plug it directly in the amp after the Alesis Midiverb II, and then from the amp through a little interface and then into the PA. He showed me this at his last concert in Denmark, 1 week ago.
he doesn't use a thumbpick in Lewis and Clark. In fact in most of his more laid back/pretty tunes (Questions/Since We Met/Stay Close to Me etc) he doesn't use a thumbpick as it gives a more delicate sound :)
I often laugh when people say things like "that band changed my life"... But there's no doubt, my life greatly involves being mesmorized by Tommy Emmanuel's playing. What is life, but one big mystery anyway? Find what inspires you and don't ever give up. Go find it!
absolutely but it's not the same thing. I don't know if you can tell the difference through computer speakers (never tried). But I can hear some difference between "High Quality" and typing in the letters, since I'm using my 5.1 hometheater as speakers.
get his CD with this, you'll be even more impressed. I saw him live 21 June 08 at the House of Blues, New Orleans, Louisiana - there's no words to describe seeing him live
Damn, I should have learned fingerstyle right from the beginning - better for entertaining people when you don't have a good band around you, which is most of the time. This is the shit.
i think he's e-dfined alot of things, a great player and some very sweet tunes; this currently my favourite, simple progression of Em|GMj|DMj|AMj albeit capo'd at 2nd fret... simple play it where you want, the genius is playing it on one guitar:)
he makes u want to never look at ur guitar again. but the next time u pick up one.. u watch... ur gona try to impersonate his style. this guy is amazing
Én is ott voltam!! :-) Mindenki tátott szájjal figyelte a világ legjobb gitárosát, írtó jó hangulatot teremtett abban a kis csarnokban!! Nem csak a számai misztikusak, hanem maga az ember is. He's the best!!
this song just left me mesmerized, with its strange beautiful and mystical sieren-like bass, rhythm, and melody from start to end, just awesome and yes he is funny too
I saw him in Knoxville TN this month. His "Mystery" CD is great...and his live performance is incredible. We are in the presence of a guitar genius...and great entertainer! Tommy carries on the Chet tradition.
This is my favorite song that he does live. I saw him play it the other night in Carrboro NC and I was mesmerized. Amazing talent, and a great entertainer!! I'd drive a long way to see him again!
That's the best song ending i have ever had the pleasure to see..thanks for this video!!!

The crowd in Budapest was much better though hehe

rodna16 3 years ago
He always uses Martin Strings.
012-54. Along with a Alesis Midiverb II and a German made Amp called AER. That's the basic setup for Tommy (Tuner and DI-boxes as well).
