Tommy Emmanuel - Tall Fiddler

[flatoutt1]

let me prophesy; the danger we need to guard against is becoming complacent and taking for granted the wonder we are fortunate enough to witness. i predict with time the full value of tommy's contribution to the world of music ,will be seen and appreciated for how brilliant it is. every last drop of this stuff ,is priceless and be seen for that by more in the future when he's gone. on a very small scale like we're now realising how good the music of abba was and is. so appreciate it now.

tommy

doyagao-!!

[Rockyslammer]

one persons jaw dropped onto his mouse and accidently hit the dislike button

[fngrpkn06]

Oh my God what a performance!!

[nipperdog7777]

Musztard, good job holding the camera still.

[Magmaking13]

Cant wait just booked tickets for myself and 4 others to watch the god of acoustic guitar next month in Bristol's Colston Hall, all being guitarists i think we're all gonna freak out, dammit i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePeeplet]

i hope the guy that disliked this is dead

[BluesYourAss]

One dislike! Cool Gary Moore finally found this video!

[mr10169michael]

OK who wants to step up to the plate? Why is this man not one of the top 10 guitarist in world?? 173 like and 1 person who hit the wrong button??

[Magmaking13]

@mr10169michael Because the world is full of morons who 'THINK' they know what real music is, Tommy is truely one of the great pillars of not only acoustic playing but all of guitaring. So precise yet so quick and it almost seems effortless to him, but in truth nearly everything he plays is on a completely different level from most acosutic work. Ive been trying to learn Angelina and Tall Fiddler for months and im still nowhere near Tommy's level of playing :P

[one800rob]

If you go to his show .... bring a video camera !!! Hes totally cool about it

[newnoggin2]

Well the dislike came from a frustrated guitar player for sure.

[Caropick56]

kaziomen, it's dedicated to Byron Berline. As his partner Dan Crary put it many years ago, he's one of the "top three hundred fiddlers in the San Fernando valley!"

[anonymouslol]

great sound quality

[biggerbigd]

holy hell that was good!

[Kykysha]

o0 holy balls! That was so badass I can't even think of a comment to gives it justice lol

[dendrobates1983]

W listopadzie Tommy w Polsce :) Jade do Torunia na koncercik :)

[practicalpickup]

You know, supposedly Eric Clapton said Tommy is the best guitarist he's ever heard. I'm starting to agree with him.

[bukman66]

the guy who disliked this song must have no ears

[guitarsalert]

tabs ,???

is he using standard tuning?

[eyesy79]

@guitarsalert it's not standard tuning, i think the top e is detuned to a d.

[Jik93]

@guitarsalert tuning is (low to high) DGDGBe. So the low E is tuned down to D, and the A string tuned down to G.

[Lukas3614]

Great.

[TheFlashhead]

This is AWSOME!!!! i wish i could play like him! :)

[Grockle1345]

Stunning, precision, feel, passion. Man what passion. What a priviledge to witness a man in his prime giving us such a performance. Magical man just magical

[IgorGuittar]

Amazing..!!

[NCLUSA]

The man is the best, 5*****

[Tonefid115]

Class!

[BoNg3r]

The more I see of this cat, the more I wanna find and watch. His talent is amazing! I almost wanna quit learnin to play.....almost.

[User7004]

he's using a standard g6 tuning: DGDGBE

[alcam100]

Maybe time travel is possible with that kind of speed?

[Malteboy777]

Freaking awesome DUDE!! :D I LOVE THIS MANN!!! IS SO AWESOME!!! :D

[Ricsman18]

félelmetes

[ForForm]

lol his concerts are getting shorter and shorter throughout the years :P

[petercourt]

Maybe because he's doing more and more?

[kykistke]

why thumb down this comment ? He means Tommy is playing faster and faster thoughtout the years :D, and speed makes this song remarkable

[malpi5]

he's haxer !! it is impo-fucking-simble

[hascha08]

Tommy, you're top of the bill !

[bla1987bla]

ma ke fenomeno!!!...e' davvero un grande

[michelwegen]

That has a touch of country hasn't it?

As far as I know Tommy comes from the country scene. That's incredible how fast he plays this song!!! I think only this tune would be sufficient to win every contest!! GREAT!

[Edoss1]

So that's where all the forests are going. Tommy is setting them on fire by playing too fast. Cool.

[leemc1234]

he was probably going to clean out his undies!!!

[magma9999]

there's a guy who's passing at 2:03, me I would be like: holy shit!

[torod213]

I know! All the time there are people walking past the camera on his youtube vids! And nearly not a single one of them looks at him! I couldn't do that if you gave me 100 grand!!! Well well, that's their problem...

[Jubalseed]

Whoever did this series of videos really did an amazing job on both the video and sound. Kudos.

With that said...no video will ever do Tommy justice. You gotta see the guy live.!! I've seen him 3 times in the last 1 1/2 years and if anyone could believe it, his shows and playing just get better and better.

[mabroussardii]

just saw Tommy at the House of Blues - New Orleans, Louisiana. I was amazed at him watching YouTube videos. However, now I know that videos don't even begin to do him justice. Sitting 8 feet away from him during a live performance was totally mind-blowing...

[gluebum13]

Problem is, modern technology can't keep up with Tommy's insane playing speed...

...one day, that guitar will start smoking.

[Powerslider]

jeeez, every time it amazes me what a genius entertainer tommy is!! seen him 2 times in concert, and i hope i can see him many more times!!

[Tankerkoenig]

this is insane, i never saw anyone playing like him

[Neverdii]

ugh i have to wait for him to come to my area to see him in concert :( i dunno if i can bear the wait lol

hes such an incredible player, i dont think anyone can top that

[nevvals]

Oh my God! 10/10

[JmJones2]

it amazes me how he plays so quickly, yet his note stil retain all the clarity he is famed for. he is truly the greatest acoustic guitarist ever.

[HungarianGuitarist]

AUA.... it hurts....

:DDDDD yeh the best wrod is insane... thats totally insane version DANNNGGGGGOOOO....

:D respect

[jerrysekCZ]

the best version of this Tommy's song ;) 10/10

[AcousticHaim]

AMAZING!

im going to se him live in denmark next month.

What camera do you use Musztarda00 ?

[musztarda00]

4 years old, cheap Sony Digital8 Camcorder :)

[crescentridge]

this man makes me smile every time

[7BB79]

Good grief!

[AcousticMatt]

His speed is inhuman, how the hell does he go that fast? (Your camera has great sound capture too!)

The last time I saw Tommy live he had improved so much (which I thought was impossible), just how good is he going to get?

Favourited, 10 out of 10.

[SAUCEPANJEFF]

10 on 10

[lostprophet912]

1:57-2:08. The fastest acoustic playing in human history!!!

[evansmerle]

What an absolute entertainer. I have played guitar for almost 40 years and feel like a complete fool after watching this genius.

[yellowpostbox]

It's Byron Berline. He played fiddle on the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman", for example. Look him up at Wikipedia or elsewhere.

[godfatherofwar]

he makes this look patheticly easy

[kaziomen]

amazing song ;D but ee.. dedicated for.. who?:D I can't catch it ;)

[questchema]

thanks so!
