Tommy Emmanuel - The Entertainer

[ayokay123]

Must be kinda cool knowing you're the best in the world at something. Love ya, Tommy!

[hlnanimefreak]

You can really tell that he loves what he does!! :3 Truly is an entertainer!!

[amccolgan1]

That was great. I bet he'd do great with the three other sections too.

[GuitarEssence]

Notice how the crowd is clapping not in the way tommy would do. You can see that Tommys foot goes up when the crowd is clapping ...might have irritated Tommy!? (sorry for my bad description)

[Nimrodsland]

@GuitarEssence no - the video is just not sync

[turveytales]

overly sick of halfwits clapping during acoustic performances

[ToastPalmer]

An entertainer is a title that Tommy describes well.

[qqh34udd]

喋らないギター漫談が出来る人。

[OnSugarHill]

Does Tommy read sheet music?

[Mattias0KL]

@OnSugarHill He can't read a tone...

[XxHuqqIIIxX]

@OnSugarHill

No, he couldn't ever get the hang of it. I don't think he can even still. I watched one of the documentaries on youtube when he stated that. Though, it was made a while ago. .. .

[RR5GUITAR]

I swear it's like chet atkins is living in him

[555pontifex]

Tommy Emmanuel is the Chuck Norris of the acoustic guitar.

[KovieMatt]

@555pontifex Chuck Norris wishes.

[StevenBothwell]

@KovieMatt best comment ever...

[ArmorKingRulez]

This guy and many more greats out there like Andy Mckee,Don Ross,Antoine Dufour,Sungha Jung should be more popular than Bieber,Lady Gaga and that type of shit..

[demonesia]

He seems to have a heavy Chet Atkins influence.. its pretty dang neat either-way.

[jimmywrangles]

@demonesia When Tommy was a boy he wrote to Chet Atkins asking how to play fingerstyle.

Chet replied with a long letter that included music and diagrams and a friendship that lasted decades began.

Well spotted.

[brsprin]

The entertainer is a title that describes Tommy as well.

[daniel131131]

Tommy is so cool; he has a different style than Chet's, so it's hard to compare them. Both of them are top notch at their music, and that's what matters to me.

[mike18at]

Sometimes I listen to his songs and think, "they are good, but I heared better". But then I rember that this only ONE guy with ONE guitar! Amazing!

[omniferious123]

he's on a totally different level from anybody else alive today

[johved]

He seriously is THE entertainer.

[Necko91]

Super compliquer a jouer mais sympa a entendre ^^

[drunkpunk55]

that must be the dumbest thing I ever heard... i hope u r no older than 5, because otherwise u r gonna have some serious problems in life because of ur stupidity

[remijazz]

ce morceau lui va comme un gant

[gicolab]

meglio di Scott joplin! Great Tommy

[pubuman]

Because there are retards like you in this world.. that's why!

[camaun81]

grandissimoooooo !!!!

[musicholic7]

great! l love this performance and Mr.tommy

thanks!

[dm325]

why is soulja boy famous if he has no talent to speak of? real talent is no longer prized as much as image. sad, but true.

[crunkykong]

Please dont taint this page with soulja boy's name! lol (You the speak truth.)

[Creamyguitar1956]

I find complete irony in your comment. Tommy is TALENT. Soulja Bowee is ALL ABOUT IMAGE. Unfortunately we have a dumbing down of society and your generation for some unknown reason thinks that is talent. Most any idiot can do what Bowee is doing. Only a handful of musicians can play like Tommy. Grow up..

[dm325]

are you retarded? i just said he was completely talentless and it IS true that you don't need any talent to get MONEY. tommy's not in it for the MONEY, he's in it for the love of the music. and by the way it was a reply to a comment posted much earlier. of course tommy is talented, he's a fuckin genius. i don't know how you interpreted my comment, but that was so far off it's ridiculous

[pubuman]

Dude .. what the hell are you on about?

[aequesadacr]

he looks like David Hasselhoff..

[omarisagod87]

If he looks like anybody he looks like Tim Robbins........ but more like himself.

[Atska]

tou claps.

[liquidfreak]

born in the same town as him.

[thealmightyX]

i was his neighbour for 8 years

[MeAndCass]

I bet.

[guitaraddict4life]

and i was scott joplins piano tuner

[thealmightyX]

hey me to!

[Tommyfan8]

That is our Tommy !!

[massimoalfa]

TOMMY JESTEś WIELKI!!!

[eledrion]

DOKŁADNIE :D

[austrian19421]

he does more than 300 concerts a year

[korrv1]

fame isn't necessarily proportional to talent oO can you honestly say ashley simpson has more talent than this guy? i think not.

[ShaneWednesday]

He's one of the best, but he's just not hot, so why would people be following him to take photos?

The best go relatively unnoticed.

[MynZnusz]

I like that style. It's nice. I like his style.

[iibr0ws]

He is really famous in Australia but not so much internationally, although to give him credit where credit is due he certainly should be...meh, he seems to enjoy his life anyways...

[guitarthing]

iamhereforyou is an arse

[johnno4623185]

Wow!!! He's really good!!! I've never seen anything like him before!!!!

[bakliza]

Brilliant guitar player!!

[VWC1904]

He is The Entertainer

[samir6999]

Tommy seems to be enjoying playing the guiter as much as I am enjoying the performance. Fantastic!

[frantnik]

tommy emmanuel, the player and the ENTERTAINER.

[Spymoni]

This man is amazing anyway.

[uare2cute]

What's this guy mean?

[rockon61]

Simply Brilliant guitar playing !! And he's funny too !

[Cyrloud]

looooooooool

very nice and fun !!

[jessupar]

Wozzletoff, are you trying to compare clapping as if it were a gateway drug, to anything? besides, if it makes people happy to do any of what you listed? shit, fine, go ahead imo.

[Chromatype]

doesn't ANYBODY learn by ear anymore???? Until you develop that you will always be missing the most part!

[emmauelfan]

i do alot of my stuff by ear, id just rather tabs.

[orbisnonsufficit0805]

OmG how does he play so good. Pity the crowd cant clap as good :-)

[Zooniethethird]

I'm a big fan! Not of him - the crowd!

[Wozzletoff]

Tell those soused idiots to stop clapping.

[EphraimMoreira]

why? they just want to be part of it and it makes them feel good

[Wozzletoff]

Sure, let's all just do whatever we want cause it feels good. Clap, shoot heroin, run over puppies, WHATEVER!

[dannybOMFG]

Hey, i do all three and look where i am today!

[SomeMuppet]

are you in anyway related to a dictator such a hitler or stalin? you really seem wierd, how did u get from clapping to running over puppeis?

[Wozzletoff]

Are you in anyway unable to perceive satire, as you seem equally unable to capitalize, punctuate, use proper grammar, or spell simple words like "weird", "you" or "puppies."

If you were any dumber you'd have to be watered twice weekly.

[SomeMuppet]

wtf? ur the one who cat get satire and obvious sacasm lol. and they are simple typos, nothing to get pedantic about u analistic freak. seriously, people take this far to seriously and fyi i am not dumb - i can talk

[Wozzletoff]

LOL! It's high-comedy to tell someone "I am not dumb" in a post pockmarked with grammatical errors and a blitzkrieg of punctuation bombs. But the pièce de résistance was the truly Shakespearean "u [sic] analstic[sic] freak."

Sorry, in all seriousness and in light of your god-awful track record, I don't believe you can talk either.

[SomeMuppet]

lol u rly are stupid, whether sum1 is dumb or not has no correlation to grammatical error, but only to whether they can talk or not, so maybe u should go and buy a dictionary

[Wozzletoff]

Hey Timmy, that book you hide your meth pipe under is called a dictionary. Before indulging that next rock (no doubt funded by a midnight raid on your mother's purse) give it a read. You might realize a period is not just an excuse girls have for keeping you a virgin.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

u r dumb who cares about punctuation marks anyways? i do however hate when people can't spell even the simplest words

[Wozzletoff]

You mean like dumb people who can't spell simple words like "are" or "You"?

[xxxslayerxxx666]

omg i know how to spell that shit im actualy VERY good at spelling i just use "u" and "r" because im not a very fast typer so i like to speed it up a bit by shortening certain words

[Wozzletoff]

Nothing better encapsulates the seriousness of your position and your depth of learning than your puppet-inspired alias. Couldn't have picked a better nom de guerre for you if I tried. LOL!

[paultae]

he's so good... darn

[JoshuaMari]

where are the tabs for this

[ElSjiepo]

Take a look at my version (you can find the link in my profile).. If you like it, send me a message with your email address and I'll send you the tab to my version :)

[NEEDHELPsorta]

Whats with the clapping being fancy? o_0 The song is playing is done by tommy emmanuel... need I comment on how good it is?

[ElSjiepo]

The way he plays it is quite difficult, I guess (hey, he just cannot play songs in an easy way :P ) but you can play a version that goes a little something like this yourself too! It's a whole lot easier (I think) and a bit lower, but you'll recognize the song! I'll upload my vid of this version in a few days (hopefully.. if I get it to work..)

[THEFAT209]

one thing wrong with this video

[feefree]

wow, he plays simple things too???... :P

[quoththeraven0]

This song is very difficult o.o

[bradinthehouse]

it is?

[A2thaB]

heck yes

[bauerb2]

i've gone through about 4 tab versions of this song and all were incredibly hard

[gropro]

i love this guy haha :)

[tenmilewalk]

why were they laughin at the beginning

[danielbahl]

Because he pushes his guitar in a fancy way that make the sound going up :)

[MattM4]

Because they begin to recognise the song, that wasn't planned and not a song you are used to hearing from a guitarist, hence it is kind of humourous.
