Tommy Emmanuel plays a Karol Custom Baritone

This was taken by a good friend of mine who had the brains to take out a camera while I was jamming and was being amazed by Tommy in April 2008 before his show in Montreal. His performance was amazing and truly inspiring - as it always is.

Here Tommy plays a Tony Karol baritone. The second song is "Lonesome Whistle Blues". Nice to hear TE doing something totally different here, and the baritone sure adds to the exclusivity of this encounter with Tommy.

P.S.: View it in High Definition, it's really worth it.

Does anybody know what's the first song? Or is it improvisation? :)

[leonidn07]

I think it's just straight out improvised. Tommy is amazing at that.

i need to know what that first song is. yeah most is impro but it is definitely over a fixed song... what's the tuning for a baritone guitar? is the bass a B note and the rest tuned the same amount of steps down? (BEADF#B)??

[ZebMacahan]

Haha! I felt the same thing, sitting with my guitar trying to figure it out now..

Tommy is brilliant.. truly schizophonic ... the best musician I've heard in a very long time!

[JSDACA]

The guitar is a baritone by luthier Tony Karol from Mississauga, Ontario - Canada's best guitar builder !!!

What a man damn... I was smiling from the first note to the "Get off me quick" aahah. Extraordinary :D

[meannno]

I just can't take it... TE is the very best guitar player ever. And everytime I hear his stuff I want to play it myself, but I just can't. And it can be so frustrating! I really believe that he is one of the biggest muscians to have ever lived.
