A note on recording Tommy's guitar: All the sound you hear from Tommy's guitar in this video comes from the pickup system in his Maton, recorded via the Direct Input on the AER Compact 60 (discussed at

There needs to be a law that if you dislike this video you have to give an explanation.

When my son was 6 years old I took him to see Tommy, when he made an appearance in Blackpool, UK. We sat right at the front and Tommy regularly smiled at my son during the concert. Towards the end of the evening he addressed my son directly and dedicated a song to him, as by now it was very late in the evening but my son was still full of life and enjoying the gig. He said something along the lines of "this is for the little lad at the front, so he can remember the time when Tommy Emmanuel played two songs at once." Tommy then played Dixie/Yankee Doodle Dandy, both melodies simultaneously!!! What a guy and what a superb artist.

Steve Vai said "there is no better guitar player than Tommy Emmanuel" High praise indeed...Eric Clapton said something similar.

"There are a million guys who can run rings around me". No Tommy, nobody can run rings around you when it comes to guitar. Nobody.

Saw Tommy in a Pub, well known for it's music, in an Irish town called Boyle. It's not the biggest town in the world but that night every guitar player in a 40 mile radius was in the first 10 rows. The guy is an awesome player, but so humble. The highlight was when some wag shouted "can you do anything Irish", and Tommy pauses a moment then says "I can blow up yer car mate!". After a short stunned silence everyone fell about the place laughing. You have to have a personality to get away with that!

Tommy Emmanuel is the reason I play bass :)

I'm like Frodo watching Gandalf’s fireworks here. As long as we have old wizards like Mr Emmanuel we may feel we’re living a golden age.

[@DarekLachowski]

Wow! "The captain meets..." just reached another level!

Hey Andertons, I've seen and heard everything I could find regarding Tommy throughout the years and I must say that this interview is among the very best I've seen. Everything about this video is an invaluable window into the mind of Tommy. I've also gained a new appreciation of The Captain as an interviewer. Excellent all around -- thanks so much for this!

Your face is just brilliant watching Tommy, Class.

[@adamkane9340]

A true Australian treasure. Hard work, commitment and following your heart.

[@Arnold_Ehret]

He doesn't read music, but he plays with his soul !.......&

[@Charbarhousemusic]

My neighbour looks a lot like Tommy Emmanuel. He can't understand why I greet him so warmly.

[@shubniggurath6464]

I've been using the Force for months to get this to happen ... glad it worked.

[@RobRhodesMusic]

There's not enough superlatives to do Tommy justice, either as a player and a person. He makes me proud to be Australian and is a true role model for us all. Humility, dedication and a true entertainer. The Captain did a great job and some of his facial expressions are of child-like wonderment. Loved every minute of it, thank you.

[@robertlennox3607]

Had the pleasure of meeting ank talking to Tommy a few times. Really humble and genuine bloke as well as being a musical genius.

[@billybob9144]

He is the most amazing guest you guys have ever had on barr none, what an absolute legend. Thanks lee

[@lordrupertknob1882]

I made my mind up that I want to be just as good as Tommy Emmanuel. After 15 years of dedication and 12 hours practice every single day, I have now mastered the head nodding. Next, I'm going to buy myself a guitar and start learning how to play.

[@mysticalstalker7524]

Tommy emmanuel always full of heart and passion in his playing, legend period. A movie should be made on this man
