Tommy Emmanuel (awesome) Amazing Grace 2 - HD

[joeydog999]

play it like its meant to be played,, he put too much horse shi-t in it..

[sidneyandherbie]

@joeydog999 tis will get tommy fans going!!!!!

[circlebs1]

@joeydog999 I agree ...

[vil64]

@joeydog999 You have no idea about music. That horse shi-t, as you call it, is a skill of a musical genius. I don't think it would much interesting, if he only just played the melody. It would be way too blunt and simple.. probably just like yourself.

Le c'est bjorn berge sur la même musique... le top aussi!

[lollkiller]

yes!

[randbc113]

If you ever get a chance to see him in concert - GO. The price just watch him play is unbelievable - he is amazing with his style of picking and creating tones!

[sidneyandherbie]

@randbc113 next month - my tommy fix!

[eplic]

Elle est pas mal, sa robe de chambre !!

[TheDsA00]

coordinazione assurda ! cazzo!!!!

[mesimar]

Check Mark Hanson

[takman59]

God bless you Tommy, you are one of His beautiful creations, and you honor and glorify Him with your talent.

[stevevscott]

Gods do not exist............But Tommy certainly does!!

[runningwolfkenpo]

I just had a religious experience.

[drummertech57]

Speechless! Complete Virtuosity!

[cafewa100]

SIMPLY,FANTABULOUS!!!

[thelittlepicker]

Beautiful! 

[kuglagerfeld]

Amazing, but not Grace! :-)

[the456girl]

HAHAHA I love the quick tuning he does at 2:25 - so fast!

[FretwearBand]

Even with that top E string giving him tuning problems, he manages to play on while tuning seamlessly, surely Godsent!

[RoopDaddy86]

Who are the 3 A-holes who hit "dislike" on here???? Seriously...

[joeguitargod]

Absolutely Beautiful! This may be sacrilegious to say, but I don't think that even God could play better than Tommy E. Probably better to say that God taught him ALL he knew about playing guitar.

[sidneyandherbie]

@joeguitargod tommy would agree with you on this one - im pleased you enjoyed it

[jonbiddell]

@joeguitargod HA !!  God took lessons from Tommy !!!

[trottheblackdog]

Psalm 33:3

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. 

[Entropy56]

He made a mistake at 4:01

[axelfco99]

3 people fuck me

[runningwolfkenpo]

I think I had a religious experience

[121314151617181943]

this is the first time ive liked this song well done

[Treadlightlyful]

An oldie and a gracie ...played with excellent crafty and he blesses himself before starting out just in case the "lord" sends a chariot for to carry him home ;o)

[PattyDeji]

Simplesmente MARAVILHOSO!! Really Amazing!!

[kevinikolass]

speechless

[Crackers2549]

When God wanted to hear a great guitar player, a virtuoso, He created Tommy Emmanuel!

[hillbillymanjackson]

@teenshelpenviroment are u talking about the phil keaggy version?saw him live abt 20 yrs ago and it was awesome

[Bootski55]

Tommy your amazing

[choochabella]

Beautiful - Mom wherever you are the angels are singing. Thank you Tommy.

[AppleSauceInvasion]

It's like a soothing, yet bluesy version of Amazing Grace. Very unique. Tommy is the man!

[sidneyandherbie]

@teenshelpenviroment nice one! im sure tommy could manage both at once!!!!

[starshine428]

Magnificent! The best rendition of Amazing Grace I have EVER heard on any instrument, and Tommy makes it sound like he has a bagpipe,banjo, organ and vilolin accompanying him at various places in the song! Tommy, you clutched our hearts! Thanks to my husband, Steve, for showing me this.

[sidneyandherbie]

@starshine428 when i get coms. like this it feels real good - what a man tommy is

[oldstuffhaus]

Oh so hard for my brain to wrap around so much talent in one human being....while I was thinking, this man was doing a million times faster and ever so well.Its always a pleasure to observe such talent wherever you find it. I hope Tommy gets to play forever.

[D35TRUCT0]

Passion.

[ISignedUpBefore]

Excellent stuff. Sound of the guitar reminds me of Adrian Legg, who has dabbled in building pickups and amps (as I understand it) and is a fine player himself. Check him out if you like this!

[sidneyandherbie]

@ISignedUpBefore thanks, have listened and met mr legg, a fine player, thanks for t he comm.

[lifecommom]

@ISignedUpBefore TE is what I want to be when I grow up... lets see, I'm 56 now... hmm? Where does the time go? This guy has it wrapped-up sweeter than anything I've ever heard. ( Tommy, your the Best ! ! ) We all wish we could play like you, but you know what, I hope you never stop hearing that ! ! Thank you Tommy !

[ShaunBaaSheep]

@ISignedUpBefore I was watching this video, and I just KNEW that it reminded me SO much of a guitarist that I used to LOVE!... I read your comment, and it suddenly came back to me!...The wonderful Mr Legg...and it's taken me right back to the times that I used to watch him at the Half Moon in Putney...Absolute MAGIC!

[TheJoeLorenzo]

the fact that he's wearing a velour shirt makes this THAT much more awesomer.

[56Iraida]

AMAZING !!!!

[tresdave33]

Tommy Emmanuel and Vic Wooten should do this together

[hillbillymanjackson]

@tresdave33 tommy should do something w/ bela fleck and the flecktones.

[hillbillymanjackson]

dis likes? your fucking kidding me. i saw him a couple of  weeks ago and it was awesome to say the least. long live te

[listenthinkspeak]

Soul...so much soul.

[azkeyz]

Worth remembering.

I think I understand what's being reached for in the track

it seemed to me that the he needed a compressor to even out the volume of each note.

maybe slow the track down slightly , putting on my chet atkins thinking cap.

[sidneyandherbie]

@azkeyz perhaps a comp would takesome of  the life out of it - im sure a few fans will want to

comment on this

[jonapr56]

I beleive John Newton will be glad with how you play this hymn.

God bless you this is a prtaise sacrifice to him

[Cecil944]

I used to think TE was the best-hearted, most gracious showoff I had ever seen. After 3 years of listening to his songs and covers, DVD videos, YouTube videos, and one live performance I realize it is just because he does all of the showoff moves used by other guitarists as a matter of course: that is just how good he is. His flamboyance is necessary for the sound he wants to produce as one does not get the right sound without the right motion. Amazing excellence! Live long and well, Tommy!

[sidneyandherbie]

@Cecil944 good com. many think TE is over the top but that is the man being himself and enjoying playing for his fans

[JordanGuitar11]

@sidneyandherbie thats a load of crap isnt it, if we want entertainment we want the best, we WANT TOMMY TO SHOW OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sidneyandherbie]

@JordanGuitar11 when we watch him and he goes over the top we love it - long live tommy

[JordanGuitar11]

@sidneyandherbie over the top might just be tommy, because he is so good your perception of over the top is that he is over the top compared to all other guitarists, when in actual fact, its just Tommy's ability.

[sidneyandherbie]

@JordanGuitar11 yup, when he is enjoying himself , he just plays better and gives everything to please all his friends

[guitargenius05]

Tommy Emmanuel is amazing!!!! He definitely has a true gift from God!

[NERNOTO]

you are right

[biggerbigd]

The Seoul version is great as well.

[professorhardknock]

This has to be God's second favorite song next to the Revelation Song.

[hillbillymanjackson]

3 dislikes! some people must have smoked theirself retarded.

[NERNOTO]

who dislike this man?

[sidneyandherbie]

@NERNOTO only the envious - there are three of them in the world according to youtube

[dsam121]

I think I shit my pants when I first heard this. :P Im on the 3rd time through

[my31and37]

He has enough talent in him to make about 10 normal guitarists.......

[clyde21641]

This man just has a special God's Guift and I am glad he is shareing it.

[Coolcutting]

The title is not quite correct. It should be - Tommy Emmanuel, Awesome Amazing Grace.

[sidneyandherbie]

@Coolcutting good one - i will do it

[UntitledBand2011]

I love tommy......his playing is beyond exceptional, and his guitars always look like they've seen just as much as he has!

[CDugan7]

I first saw this video about 3 years ago. It is still by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. I will forever be grateful to the world for giving us Tommy Emmanuel and his music.

[sidneyandherbie]

@CDugan7 hi, nice com. this vid and the jerry reed tribute from glasgow 2010 are my two recordings i will treasure forever

[TeslaMe2]

@CDugan7 You can be grateful to the world if you want. For my self I am grateful to God for giving Tommy this talent and to Tommy himself for nurturing and growing it and allowing us to share it. Thank You Tommy

[SuperTeamrealtree]

can you say goose bumps?

[Bowl2010Man]

pro tuning while playing at 2:25.

[Bowl2010Man]

my god...so beautiful. i wonder how it feels to be playing like that on stage

[rockittees]

ALL I Can Say Is...WOW!

[sidneyandherbie]

@rockittees yeah wow - im still knocked out with this performance

[martingoldfire]

That brought a tear to my eye. Sometimes one has to let the world be and just pause for the perfection that is Tommy Emmanuel. Thank you Tommy!

[Guitar1hero23]

never seen someone with such passion for there instrument

[vafavafa]

i would make myself an orphan to be able just to have a lesson with him

[kuagasourus]

I bet the guitar tabs for this look like they're written in Japanese.

[rockerage]

This is the first time I've heard Amazing Grace from beginning to end, no other artist had made me stay until the very last second, thank you Tommy.

[jonasgunder]

@rockerage ha, my experience this very second exactly :)

[fenderbender256]

@rockerage Watch Martin Tallstrom do this on guitar, It's pretty amazing too.

[MrRazer1125]

you can feel the soul that he into the song

[marshi09]

what is his tuning in this performance?

[sidneyandherbie]

@marshi09 hi standard tuning down 3 steps

[marshi09]

@sidneyandherbie thanks! i've notice it. and hear a low notes and confirmed it with playing along. to low but nice tone and great for showing more emotions. gues i'll have to use a thicker gauge for that tuning! thanks again and God bless!!!

[sidneyandherbie]

@marshi09 you will see me do my best at amazing grace amongst the sidandherb vids - i put 13's on to try and keep my Taylor in tune - a bit tricky at times - regards from scotland

[marshi09]

@sidneyandherbie woah! .13? that's kinda heavy. but maybe not much on a taylor guitar. never used a taylor before.

[junksleeper]

@marshi09 Thinner gauge is the answer, down tune the strings you have already will give you a buzz you really don't want. Go up 2 or 3 gauges string wise and then tune down 3 steps. Might be wrong as i'm sure others might allude to but give it a go!

[YesImZane]

the music and that shirt.. beauty.



[FuckinMetalBitchs]

would love to know what digital processing hes got going on here

[sidneyandherbie]

@FuckinMetalBitchs midiverb 3 if i remember correctly - he used one of these in glasgow in 2020

[junksleeper]

@FuckinMetalBitchs saw this man 10 months ago, he was really honest about what microphones he had both inside and outside his beautiful guitars, his talent creates the most amazing sounds, both percussive and melodic. and none of it fake. Go and catch a live performance of this guy and it will confirm why at first you imagined that this sound could only ever be synthisised by machine, because he really is that good.!!!

[r2texas]

CONTINUING... I had heard him play this version many times in person and on recording. When he started playing I was surprised to hear him playing it "straight"--and singing it. I quickly realized that, if he had played this version, it would have been all about him. As it was, the way he played it in the service, it was all about Amazing Grace. Yeah, he's got awsome chops, but there is so much more to this guy. He is one awsome human being.

[sidneyandherbie]

@r2texas thanks for putting this up - it just confirms our opinion of the man

- have a good day

[r2texas]

I serve as a hospital chaplain, and a couple of years ago Tommy came to play for and interact with the campers and counselors at an adult cancer camp my hospital sponsors. He agreed, in addition to playing a full concert for our group (after spending a day visiting with them) to play for our Sunday morning worship service (Tommy is a committed Christian). My only request of him, for the service, was that he play Amazing Grace during communion. CONTINUED...

[sidneyandherbie]

@0dchambers if tommy reads this it will bring a smile

[sidneyandherbie]

@0dchambers i always think they have just pressed the wrong button!

[brycenrodrigo]

killing the replay button!!

[LaserBeam002]

I really enjoy tommy emmanuels music but sometimes I think he embeleshes the pieces a bit too much. But then I usually perfer the originals to covers.

[danielnradu]

Not only does he have crazy chops, technique, and dexterity - but the man has a ton of soul too.

[rafourt]

Off the wall and off the scale, just amazing.

[atau112]

マジamazing！

[trumpetgeek1010]

haha, 1:07 he immediately notices its out of tune and fixes it. incredible performance.

[melita246]

thanks for posting... what a treat!!!

[sidneyandherbie]

@melita246 my pleasure and thanks for the com.

[OLDMANBADGER]

holy cow, i had never heard of this guy i am speechless now

[Breazeale93]

<3... Enough said.

[jenvemerci]

長い事生きてて何でこの人の事、知らんかったのかしら…＼(~o­~)／

とにかく凄すぎ～！

[valvetrom]

Thank you, no eychanges

[2ndflash]

Is it just me, or is Tommy STILL getting better?

[sidneyandherbie]

@2ndflash my sentiments when i saw him at the glasgow concert - he just gets better

[fenderplayer489]

@2ndflash you can't get much better when you're the best.

[vinnystings]

someday i wold like to play like him.... and i knw that day is far far ahead....

[Jermybug]

That kinda sounds like a steel guitar.

[danguitar91]

this is absolute brilliance check out victor wootens bass version to it's amazing

[Popesepe]

amzing!You are blessed Sir!

[2ndflash]

There will never be another like him in our lifetime.

[ThePeeplet]

tuning?

[sidneyandherbie]

@ThePeeplet standard tuning but down 3 steps to C sharp

[averoey]

Sweet Lord! Tommy, you rule!

[ThePeeplet]

he looks like hugh hefner haha

[gepgep55]

@ThePeeplet said nonsense!

You are so silly, boy!!!

[ThePeeplet]

he is ubeleivably talented i almost cant comprehend what im seeing

[garfinorbit]

i love you tommy emmanuel :)

[sidneyandherbie]

@garfinorbit and nice playing from you - im sure he would agree

[garfinorbit]

@sidneyandherbie thanks for checking my channel :D

[RonVermillion]

Go Tommy Go! Amazing for sure.

Big Ron

[sidneyandherbie]

@RonVermillion pleased you found them Ron, Mr 'amazing' Emmanuel for sure

[MaxBGuitar]

Man, he's so good. His playing is so alive, ... So much articulation! :)

[aigphoto]

It's astounding how many different colors he creates from the one acoustic instrument.

[NomadicLemon]

Amazing!

[0911smokey]

2 people obviously just don't get it!

[sidneyandherbie]

@0911smokey hi, you made me read all the coms to spot the '2' - i suppose they are entitled to their opinion, but i enjoyed reading all the posotive coms from the Tommy fans - regards from david in scotland

[13330444]

Very good

[boabroab]

just seen tommy a few hours ago in glasgow.mind officially blown!

[sidneyandherbie]

@boabroab we were there too - and i have some excellent footage which im just about to watch - will post some soon

[boabroab]

@sidneyandherbie seen the high quality footage you published. Quality!.do you know the name of the song he played about his old man? also 'the trial' was epic how he made the acoustic sound flute-like!

[sidneyandherbie]

@boabroab this was first played by chet, there is a great dvd with Chet, Mark Knopfler emmylou, the everelys etc. Try to get this or let me know if you cannt find it

regards david

[SRMnM]

@boabroab Still cant say goodbye is the name of the tune ur talking about i think. He;s amazing. Seen him Dublin about 2 years ago, booking tix for Perth at Christmas. I loved the waterfall harmonics at the end of this rendition.

[boabroab]

@SRMnM cheers mate

[ZeldasDiner]

God bless Tommy. Never heard anything like this. Amazing.

[MobileSpies]

I would love to see a chart of his brain activity when hes doing this stuff.

[Jago433]

anyone else hear that voice that sounds like it is sighing at 3:53?

[bulbangs]

tommy is my hero

[MUSICNEVERSTOPS]

Brother he is the best out there...He is from another planet.

[sidneyandherbie]

@MUSICNEVERSTOPS great that you found the video

[TroyBilt007]

T. Emmanuel is without a doubt one of the finest guitarist out there BUT he sometimes embelishes the tunes a bit too much.

[sidneyandherbie]

@TroyBilt007 now that could generate a few coms -

[oliskill]

@sidneyandherbie lol.

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@TroyBilt007 amen to the latter man.

[manelra]

does anybody knows in what tuning is he playing this??? it gives more "body" to the melody, more bass... this guy is amazing

[sidneyandherbie]

@manelra hi, standard tuning but tuned down to C sharp - he had trouble tuning his guitars on the night because it was so cold outside and hot inside - however amazing grace was indeed 'amazing' he must have heavey gauge strings on that guitar to manage the tuning, bends etc - marvellous player

[Realopinion1]

@manelra

He's in like drop B believe it or not or something like that. And the tone is coming from the acoustic amp he uses.

[TheJobbery]

damn that dawg is bluesy!

[sidneyandherbie]

@TheJobbery hi jobbery, nice to see you have included this in your channels fine collection of guitar pieces - good one

[TheJobbery]

@sidneyandherbie  I enjoyed your collection as well. Best wishes.

[el0hyek]

Look out Tommy..........Sungha Jung is comming to get you.

And I know you like to see these kids doing well!!

[julygoly]

lovey- as always- but i like better the first version ......

[sidneyandherbie]

@julygoly thanks - now youtube can do real HD i think it is time for version 3- and i will go back to the original size which you prefer - thanks

[runbag]

I just can't stop beeing more and more amazed.. He's just one of a kind..
