Tommy Emmanuel-A Tribute to Chet Atkins

[onionmon]

he reminds of mr. bean @ 0.09

[Stillwalking07]

Tommy is brilliant! One amazing guitar player! The world is fortunate to be able to hear his amazing talent!

[buckysaurusrex]

Chet Atkins thought, and said, that Tommy Emmanuel was among the finest pickers in the world. I'm pretty sure that Chet knew how to play. Does his opinion count?

[MrPandaHarassment]

@buckysaurusrex Yes.....

[rockinredneck57]

@buckysaurusrex It counts in my book! He gave Tommy his CGP. That scores BIG points!

[alphasxsignal]

I wonder he is playing that into. Might be a Axe-FX digital box to get some of that

Gretch 6120 sound I bet.

[vinnothelizard]

childs play . pure rubbish!!

[JohnnyLadd]

@vinnothelizard We're all entitled to our opinion but for some reason I don't thing this is really yours?

[MrFlemball]

@vinnothelizard ... why do you keep comparing him with serious classical players? .... bit like the old lawnmower and grape thing.

[bluesexplosionrob]

The grin as he points at his left hand during Bye Bye Blackbird gets me every time.

Bye Bye Blackbird and Caravan are next on my list. Just learnt to play Freight Train!

[blubblubblub345]

Tommy is amazing....

[strophish]

F!@CK YEAH

[vinnothelizard]

not that good a player!! check out anniello desiderio!!

[mavtd]

Anniello's technically good but I'd rather watch a car crash.... he's so boring to watch. Thats where Tommy has it. He's technically brilliant and he's an absolute showman.

[jayengrahlman]

@vinnothelizard are kidding me? not that good of a player? wow

[jayengrahlman]

@vinnothelizard plus they dont play nearly the same style, if that guy even has any "style" at all

[TheRailwaystationist]

@vinnothelizard You obviously don't play guitar.

[dante4d]

@vinnothelizard I listened to some of his stuff. So boring and half of it sounds like rubbish to me.

[yamamonkey]

@vinnothelizard You kidding man? I just looked up a video of anniello, with the best expectations (i'm a great fan of guitar virtuosos) and that guy plays with no emotion whatsoever. just a machine.

Tommy Emmanuel is a god damn genius. He's at about the same level of technical skill but sounds a hundred times more awesome.

[Swouford]

What name of the music for 21 seconds?

[shakeypitt]

@Swouford Windy and Warm.

[Swouford]

@shakeypitt Much you is thanked!!!

[TheSchrecky58]

Caravan was written by Juan Pizol and first performed by Duke Ellington in 1937.

[jamesoliveri]

He is heading my way May of this year and I am standing on my head scratching my feet in anticipation..... I hearrrrr you...

[charliekucharski]

If you've never seen Tommy play live in person then you must go if he comes to your town. Saw him this summer in Cincinnati with a friend and he is one of the most incredible performers you'll ever see in your life. A big plus is that he sings well too.

[matthewcross]
