Thank you for sharing that - strangely I have seen it happens so many times to artists. Taking Jimi Hendrix for example, he did not do well here in the States and then they welcomed him with open arms in the UK. Or bands like led Zeppelin who did not really catch on with the UK audiences but then came over here to the States and broke big really quick. I guess the person is without honor on their own land.

As an Aussie, we grew up with the Emmanuel brothers, and we all knew, even Tommy, that Phil was the better guitarist. While Tommy has evolved into the consumate maestro, Phil was content to stay in Australia, play some gigs, with anyone, hang out on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane, be with his girl and drink beer..... that was enough for Phil. Both LEGENDS in their own right.......................

Why have I not heard of Phil, this guy was a beast on the guitar! It makes sense the way you put it though - he didn't want the extreme limelight and one cannot blame him. It's a real shame he's not around though. I really appreciate you sharing that! Cheers from the US 🤘🤘

Yep Phil was always lowkey, loved a drink, some hooch, supported local talent, always had a smile on his dial, loved his missus and kids,and just preferred staying close to home. He had a taste of the O/S limelight but just wasnt his thing. Tom on the other hand cant live without a stage, he LOVES it, breathes it, LIVES it.... Chalk and cheese really but Brothers in Arms AND Fingers. If you search youtube theres a few gigs of Phil and his playing was on another planet.

@MBKMA69 oh I definitely went down the rabbit hole with Phil - I've been so blown away by Tommy's playing, it is undeniable the influence that Phil had on him. Opened up a whole brand new world for me - Phil was top-tier level, but a lot of people have not had the pleasure of enjoying his work. I tried to get a bit of that into the video at least in an effort to drop a few jaws and get them introduced. No problem - I really like your take! I'm hearing from a lot of Tommy fans, and even Tommy himself I think should be much more well-known than he is. There are a lot of people who were unfamiliar with him coming in and checking it out too, anyway I can spread the word on both of the brothers I will.

@@guitarmeetsscience funny Enuff I got to meet and hang in the green room with him once. Troubador, West Holly, '85-ish. Was there when his #1 got swiped. We were too busy smoking Macanudos and drinking Schlitz. 🫤 to notice the moment it evaporated. I'll bet 'Security' got reamed !!

How cool was that! Not that the number one was swiped of course but the fact that you guys were able to hang out and have some great cigars while you were at it. Thanks for sharing that that is awesome!

I know he’s a awesome guitarist . Perhaps the best. But I can’t hardly listen to him play due to his embellishments and timing
@guitarmeetsscience
@guitarmeetsscience 8 ай бұрын
His playing definitely isn't for everybody, when he gets excited he plays faster and when he wants to go to a real poignant moment he slows it down. It's kind of a wacky dynamic if you want to walk into a particular meter. Conversely I guess that's why a lot of people like his playing because he uses dynamics both rhythmically as well as in volume. I appreciate your take on his playing!

Tommy is a sideshow freak. Instead of exploring the musical riches of a song, he turns a song into a musical charicature intended to impress audiences with his techniques as opposed to serving the message of the song."Hey look everybody! I can play the Minute Waltz in only 27 seconds!!" Hes a showman, not a musician. If you want to see a sideshow demonstration of how to play The Rolling Stones Satisfaction while brushing your teeth or typing into a typewriter all within two minutes at a furious tempo, Tommy is your man. Hes the Evel Knieval of music. Is he a great musician? Hell no.
