Tommy Emmanuel: "Purple Haze". Reddit request .

WARNING: 1. This video is from TommyEmmanuelTV.com 2. All filthy language comments from now on (Dec2012) will be deleted. 3. You can argue who is better this or that guy somewhere else. Thank you for understanding.
Look at his schedule - this man has so much power! Who else is meeting with people, giving interviews, lessons and performances in hotels and touring buses? Who is not included in the best 100 guitarists according to RollingStone, but people with ears know who is who... This man is very special.

I was sooo fortunate (as you all are) to stumble-fall across this god of guitar`...such a good and happy attitude...such confidence. Such a showman ! Such an example...such inspiration...ya gotta love the guy....

Marqy007, Namtil, TheRealWildFitGood and many others, good comments... Thank you! He's just great, no one can see a hard-hard work and deep thinking (plus constant traveling) behind his playing - just the beauty, complexity and joy as results of it. He's not officially famous but his name is already engraved in the history of guitar music and one-man show. Just meeting him and having his name signed on one of my guitars changed for good my perception and playing, i'm not talking "placebo" here.

what guitar is that?

[Denis Volga]

I guess it's Larrivee C-10BR, but it's custom-made for him by John Larrivee, so there are some differences. Please check video number 9 in my/this collection of Tommy Emmanuel videos. He talks about this guitar after 8:45min.

Hi, this is TE's admin. We are okay with this video being here as it is not a commercial product. The (current) 40k views are a good thing, though some mention of the official channel would be appreciated.

Please either vote this up or quote it in the description so people will understand. Thanks to those who brought this to my attention and for being vigilant on Tommy's behalf!

[Denis Volga]

Thank you! Don't want to repeat myself - it's in the comments: didn't do it on purpose, had/have no bad intentions. It's good/nice to know that even the TE administration (the owner of these/some videos) understood it and have no objections. Now i had had mentioned the TE channel in the discription of this folder with TE videos and somewhere else along the videos. I'll do it more later on as time permits. Thank you for being such a good administration (even sweet) to such a great guitarist.

The sequence from 1:29 to 1:45 gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME. This, this is called magic.

Imagine living next to Tommy and just hearing him messing about with his guitar on the porch.
