Lead Electric Guitar - Scales & Solos | Instructional | Tommy Emmanuel

[@TheArtofGuitar]

The man's soul oozes into every note he plays. Love it.

[@Jorbey]

Bro must’ve been binging some tommy videos and songs at the time 🔥👌

[@leddygee1896]

The best of Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, and Danny Gatton all rolled into one!!

[@arthurrodriguez6878]

Tommy, thank you so much for your channel. Theres nobody I'd rather learn from.

[@eyedesignms]

I was given this VHS when I was 12 and just picking up a guitar for the first time... 25 years later it's just as amazing as it was then, and I've just shared this with my nephew who I'm teaching to play. Thanks for 25 years of astonishing inspiration Tommy!

[@lancehardy42]

So he’s just always been the best

[@ionageman]

He probably has a very high musical iq .. but even with perfect pitch and a natural ear for melody .. ya still gotta put in the hours to develop not only strength but finger placement .. he was once upon a time just like every other beginner , not that every beginner has his natural ability’s to listen

[@MegaNavek]

I spent some time backstage at a festival with Tommy and he is the nicest man you could wish to meet ......he shook my hand and walked on stage and stormed it in front of 2500 people.....just a lovely memory.....thank you Tommy

[@happyoldhippy]

everydaysabonus might that have been an outdoor festival near Appin, NSW?

[@thedownsides]

All those great players and all those thousands of instructional videos that started out during the 80's in VHS and are everywhere now online. Nobody ever tells you that first and foremost, you won't achieve mastery on an instrument until you have so many flight hours that playing becomes an almost automatic function like your breath. Training your brain and your muscles takes time and endless repetitions. There is no shortcut.

[@ionageman]

Absolutely agree .. it takes a lifetime to become fluent . I play 4 - 5 hours a day .. have done so for 20 years and I’m just a beginner

[@joelchambelland8866]

[@mikhailasanovic]

Took his fingers a while to recover though, after 17 years of digging

[@GodsTruthMinistries]

Tommy was and is phenomenal at every level. "Making it look easy" would be an understatement about him. And he seems like a nice chap throughout his career also.

[@stratfanstl]

Yet another example of how someone heard things that fascinated them and drove them to figure how how to play them... Before someone told them it was impossible to play three things simultaneously. Amazing.

[@serafinotrogu428]

The 12 bars blues example on the end Is beautiful!

[@LukeMaynard]

I've always felt self-conscious about bracing when I brace my hand with my pinky when I flatpick like an old-school folkie. Its so rewarding to see one of the best pickers in the world bracing on the top in a pretty similar way.

[@avbhinaya]

Hands down you're the most passionate music lover who hardly cared about being famous, star-celebrity musician with a cult following hying the significance to magnificent hollowness. Every time i listen to you, it feels amazing, don't know why.

[@jimclarke1108]

Greatest guitarist alive

[@thaleschadiarakos196]

Tommy plays scales and it sounds like music 😀

[@jemmykolb]

extremely instructional practice routine in the end there, know what i'm gonna do from now on

[@anthonyphillips111]

It's as much as I love guitar I'm just now getting to Tommy lol shame on me. First time seeing him jam on electric and I'm totally blown away. Dudes a real master of shred of all varieties and has been since before I was born 😲🔥

[@nandosainz]

without digital emulation! This is the truth of electric guitar. Tommy is the best guitarist in history

[@MultiAntow]

I like the style of Chet Atkins when the solo is simultaneously with the bass) And of course the country on the guitar is just super)

[@mindthechart]

he's the best period.

[@realcygnus]

Young Tommy ! He's so good at guitar that it would be perfectly sensible if he can't even change a lightbulb.

[@Genesis817]

Emmanuel your content good or old is always refreshing. Cheers!

[@pantera6]

tommmy recently did a improv of the same concept in beatos interview, so interesting to see him do it many years later.

[@Jonathan-L]

[@rubeniglesias2138]

thanks for all, de can see how you worked since longtime ago. it gives me to learn more than more.

[@jakubreznicek7169]

You are the greatest guitarist of all time man and i would do everything to see you play live. You will be always a legend.

Fantastic!

[@tomaszklimkiewicz9273]

It's really nice to be able to get some extremely useful advice from the Master Himself. Thank you for posting. Also, nowadays things are a lot easier for us, as far as our daily practice is concerned, since nearly every guitarist owns a looper, an invaluable tool when going through the practice schemes TE recommends.

[@ArashAhmadiGuitar]

Great solo!

Oh wow.. this brings back memories.... i bought guitar talk on vhs when i was learning guitar.....

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

2 questions. 1. When did he switch to mostly acoustic. 2 How does a kid from Australia play America country music so brilliantly? It's not like he learned off youtube like the rest of us!

[@harrisfrankou2368]

1 Saw him play in Goldrush. Electric Country. That was 83- 84 He and his brother did pentatoic major finger tapping in harmonies...during the Van Halen early days. I did stage Security and had a metal band. It was a blast watching him I used to mouth off to " sound guy" I was better than most guys on stage. He asked me about Tommy... after the show. I said nope. No way 2 Australia has a huge country scene look up "Tamworth Music Festival"

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

@@harrisfrankou2368 Cheers!!

[@harrisfrankou2368]

@@GuitarguyRichard56 No worries...also the Emmanuel family were a band for a while like the Jackson 5. Enjoy search Emmanuel Family Band and Tamworth. As well as Parkes where they settled. Phil was a beast player as well. They both looked back then that they could play eruption that night...they were so slick.

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

@@harrisfrankou2368 Cool. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Canada.

[@stevebilliter]

Math Guy--The same thing happened in England too, a great many musicians love American country music and some in my opinion like David Hartley on steel guitar, and his late partner John Stannard on lead guitar actually play it even better. Most very good players like the late Glen Campbell can just hear something and then reproduce it perfectly or in their own style. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naamnq2Xq7mEeqM "Country Boy" Check out this version (without vocals) by Hartley and Stannard who in my opinion outplay Ricky Skaggs and Albert Lee who wrote this tune.

[@darwinrisdon7141]

Everytime I watch Tommy play I pretty much figure I should just go set my guitar on fire ...🤔

[@garywhitt98]

Not to worry Darwin. Mine gets so embarrassed it sets itself on fire.

[@patricklundquist9869]

I've been to five of Tommy's concerts and I keep hearing that guitar burning thing from different guitarists. First off, it isn’t the guitar’s fault. Not only that but Tommy is way better now than he was back then. If Tommy of the 1970’s heard Tommy of the 2010’s, he might have said the same thing. What if he had burned all his guitars as a result? Then we never would have heard Tommy of the 2000’s. I just figure you play what you play and don’t worry about anyone else. Make a joyful noise. Sometimes when I play and get into the flow, I get goosebumps and wonder who that was guiding my hands. I'll sit there thinking, "I can't believe I just played that." That's what it's really all about. Using your guitar to release your heart and soul. No matter which guitarist I’m listening to at any given time, I never compare them to Tommy Emmanuel. I don’t even think about Tommy Emmanuel when another guitarist holds the stage. I’m just hearing the music in front of me. But when great guitarists like Tommy hold the stage, I'll sit there thinking, "I can't believe I just heard that." Live for those moments because they reveal a whole Universe of possibility. There is so much room to grow. It's out there waiting for you.

[@darwinrisdon7141]

@@patricklundquist9869 don't fret too much. It's just hyperbole!

[@patricklundquist9869]

@@darwinrisdon7141 I knew that. If everybody who'd ever said that after hearing Tommy play actually burned their guitars, there's be twice as much smoke in the air. (I live in California)

Learn the fret board , learn to read notes , learn your keys , learn what a mode is , practice your chord changes , practice everyday because you want to .. and practice with precision .. or don’t practice at all .. you learned to be you .. you can become fluent if you treat guitar as a life skill . Tips of your fingers , like a ballerina dancing on her toes .. you will learn to dance on the tips of your fingers .

[@davidkamqwerty2346]

He should have pursued blues he would have been one of the greatest of all time

Pssst… he is.
