Tommy Emmanuel @ CAAS 2009 - Saturday Night Shuffle

[@1947Rollo]

Mani come queste non dovrebbero fermarsi mai..

[@BOBBYRIGP]

In my opinion that I'm sure is shared by many others, for this type of playing there is no one on earth past or present that even comes close. Tommy has set the bar at the very top, and his incredible ability as a musician, and performer is something that all others must aspire to. IT SIMPLY DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER EVER................

[@JacquesMesrine94]

God I love all the "Saturday Night Shuffle" versions... Thanks Dad for bringing me into Guitar playing, with Marcel Dadi, Merle Travis, BB King, Chet Atkins, Jimi...RIP.

[@briandesjardins728]

Tommy plays this style absolutely the best.. no one can touch tommy and never will! Even the writers, his dynamics and emption is so unique

[@rayray8687]

I totally 100% disagree. Tommy is very versatile and flashy but this piece is far better played by Damian Pineau.

[@petercnixon]

When I first saw Tommy I found his flamboyant style of playing a bit OTT ... but I just watched this again and totally got into it, this guy is the boss. He's totally committed to pushing his talent as far as he can go. Jaw dropping guitar ability, I think I'll watch again now!

[@Meursault86]

Seeing him live was the most amazing show I've ever seen!

[@Moodymongul]

gotta say, this CASS 2009 show is my favourite show of Tommy's on YT. The intermit setting (you feel like you're in the audience) and Tommy in the finest playing form. It just ticks all the boxes for me ;-) And, you can tell most of the audience have their jaws on the ground through most of this (I know the feeling). Simple awesome.

[@calcorrfan]

A hundred times a day? That just show how much he loves to play the guitar. I smile every time I watch this.

[@qldu13780]

tommy is best guitarist on the world

[@anthonyhalliday7393]

Tommy is better than the best guitarist in the world, or even better than that.

[@robertlee8042]

ql du 13 also the strongest. Amazing strength. Shake his hand sometimes. He doesn’t play a guitar. He beats it.

[@Tomyfasol]

jean felix Lalanne is also better than the best guitarist in the world, or even better than that.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpfHioBtgNGLbdE

[@bdamia]

I could watch and listen to Tommy ALL DAY...as good as it gets...indeed

[@stepitupandgo67]

this performance is just incredible....

[@mkzdot]

Awesomeeeee Thanks for uploading !! ;] !The best!

[@MsMusicman56]

Been following tommy for years even when he was playing back here with his brother Phil. I too can watch this time and time again. I might just learn this little beauty. Or I'll add it to the numerous TM tunes I love.

[@FilipMaced]

people like him should live FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!11

[@yaron1234]

this is so much fun to watch, Tommy is fantastic tks for sharing

[@baccobirra86]

tommy is the better medicine for everything!!!he always makes me smile!!! :)

[@MsMusicman56]

I am going to learn this song ... one day. Guitar sounds great too. and yeah Tommy what can I say.

[@Simoscorp.]

Simply the best! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@diegoruizguitar]

I love Tommy's sound and tone on this video: that guitar has a warmer sound than his Maton, anyway, both guitars are great. Thank you for the upload!

[@sparkymore9541]

Love this one and play it over and over BUT I do love them all Tommy Just watching Tommy play is almost as good as listening

[@dreambeliever3652]

When I don't know where to go, Tommy shows up, and I have to hit it!. Only the best on the planet

[@haviskam]

This guy has all the feel that it takes to be the greatest.

[@bluegrassmovie12]

Why is he so good?.... he answered that question at the tail of the video. " I could play these tunes a hundred times a day"... and more than likely does!

[@spatialfrance]

Absolutely marvelous, fantastic, amazing.....

[@todd620]

He's just so great to hear! Love it!!

[@doubleotwentyone]

Tommy plays Merle and he's playing Merle's "electric arrangement" on the acoustic. Love his playing, how it just flows from his fingers.

[@backwolfmehdi]

he just played it on a facebook live and it was 😍😍😍

[@frncvnll]

Awesome!!!! Simply the BEST....

[@MrGlmmns1996]

[@SiggyMe]

Great musical presence, just born to play. : ^ ))

[@frncvnll]

Tommy is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TLRedmo]

Waymon Vickery's enthusiastic air guitar and hooting with joy pretty much sum up this great clip. "Mercy!"

[@frncvnll]

Simply THE BEST....

[@sheltondk43]

Such joy!

[@leonidn07]

Hi, Just to confirm, yes, the guitar is a Kirk Sand with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and yes it was plugged in an AER Compact 60. The sound I captured was a mix of the acoustic and electric sound.

[@sergepasquier6727]

Pricing: start at $10,000 for Brazilian Rosewood. www.sandguitars.com/prod_steel.htm

[@Bluesguitarman64]

Wonderful !

[@Muz64]

" I could play them a hundred times a day". That is the essence of TE.

[@pavelvailer455]

very nice as always...Красавчег Tommy!

[@KevinKennedydublin]

And he's not even playing his usual Maton guitar(s), so it doesn't really matter what guitar he plays. It just works!

[@looniethemoonie5353]

It's all in the hands. 😎

[@spatialfrance]

Tommy is the best!

[@mickd6969]

Amazing 😊

[@CharlieAndGuitar]

such a good guitarist :D

[@kanakaken]

With Tommy Emmanuel, there is no such thing as a fluke. His mind is as precise as a steel trap, in regards to the layout of the fretboard, so if by some quirk of fate he happens to hit a 'wrong' note. it will be worked into an off key riff & chord procession that will seem like a natural jazz break invented for the occasion. The work of a guitar genius.

[@GameLevelEditor]

Hes right inside the sound!

[@christopherdunn9488]

Tommy is the best guitar on the planet. I have seen some Classical?Flamenco players that were beyond awesome, perhaps they were better, but unknown. As far as any guitarist in pop culture in this century/last, he is the best.

[@mkzdot]

Nice piece !

[@sandalye52]

This is fucking awesome.

[@thiethie]

*pats on the back* i understand. i feel the exact same way

[@СергейЛебедев-г7т]

Спасибо, Томми!🙋🎸🎶💕🎶💕🎸

[@rhye999]

thanks

[@HouseofChicken]

o lawdy lawd have mercy

[@Bluewater222]

He's a kickass player :)

[@Leonheart44]

@lucancherby He uses his left thumb even on the 5th string!!! Amazing :o

[@СергейЛебедев-г7т]

классный гитарист! Спасибо!!!!!!!🙋🎶💕🎶💕🎶💕🎸

[@garst59]

Anyone who plays every waking moment from age 2 could do this easily.

[@00big_chungus00]

Ramon Navarro age 5 lol

[@timalexwar]

Or have two more hands attached like Martin Taylor did.

[@cyrusvanderkroon7689]

U saying he is not that great?

[@lucancherby]

By T. Emmanuel's own admission getting the thumb of the right hand to be as independent as possible to the other fingers is the hardest part of it all. And then you also need to have long enough fingers to put your thumb of left hand on the top string. If you watch him carefully he uses his left hand thumb quiet often.

[@realcygnus]

Galaxy Class ! (actual)

[@robertlee8042]

TE just goes and he gets there a dozen different ways. He doesn’t just play what he’s studied. He composes while he plays. You don’t hear him change chords or reach for notes. He plays hard. Chet didn’t but both don’t shruggle at all to reach chords or positions. It’s just music. It’s Zen.

[@destro2100]

mercy!

[@paulandrelebillot2512]

Wooooow

[@dangusmcgee89]

does anyone have a tab or a video, preferably a video lesson, of how to play this song. I absolutely love it and would love to learn how to play it. Thx for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

[@christhorpec]

Simply outrageous passion and quality. By the way - that guitar is gorgeous, which brand? He makes it sound lovely

[@smp1225]

Wow...guitar sounds great... Want to buy one.does Tommy come with it?

[@DC180]

His guitar is so obedient

[@krypto87]

It looks plugged in to me :)

[@CreamyBone]

Oh my.

[@sunnyboydog]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry

[@Bigpineapple]

@Skeetv123 I'm losing my mind..! And i'm in front of my PC!

[@MadnessOfMarmots]

@TheChocolateSoul He just plays the chord with his thumbpick and slides down a fret and up again.

[@umuspumus]

"that was a fluke!" "it worked out great!" well said.

[@pacolecce]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@petercourt]

@tontonchouille 'that was a fluke' a fluke is a mistake that goes well

[@xxHaranxx]

wow 0 dislikes hahaha tommy is the best :D :p

[@sayakgupta4207]

i am gonna smash this tune apart after 10 years, maybe more .. LMao .. so sad

[@mf8236]

Yeeeeeehaaa!

[@michaeljung7146]

2015 7 2 envy from past

[@TheChocolateSoul]

@MadnessOfMarmots Damn that was obvious -_-. Thanks.

[@petercourt]

How do you get one of these opportunities? Did you have to pay a lot?

[@dangusmcgee89]

Does anyone know how to play this the way he is?

[@DigitalPaperGames]

uuuhuuu groovie

[@MadnessOfMarmots]

@thyzor The fact that you saw that and then commented on it is very disturbing....

[@pdiddymob]

what kind of guitar is he using? almost sounds like nylon strings

[@moehoward21]

What guitar is that?

[@KS622]

2:04 -> 2:23 I just want to point my leg to someone and swing my umbrella a 360 at my hip

[@DiegoYactayo]

@calcorrfan me too xD

[@hulk10071]

うまい、うまい、うまい！

[@uslimisli]

god

[@MrGlmmns1996]

The guy who clapped was just killing a fly

[@pasha355]

kirk sand.

[@zachariahjosephturne]

Do I throw my guitar in the trash now or later

[@TheChocolateSoul]

how he does that 1:59 trick?

[@marcususus]

shazam (brilliant for DNB) totally over it's head in telling me what's this piece... Anyone ?

[@KS622]

Saturday night shuffle - Merle Travis, it's in the title

[@marcususus]

@@KS622 I just thought it was some kind of a show name.. Thanks !

[@KS622]

@aendaltsev A fluke is an act of luck. So he was saying that he was lucky that it worked out so perfectly as it di. YEAH RIGHT ;)

[@pasha355]

5500 USD guiatar!!

[@fuckthisshitimoff679]

Its your disrespect that will be the end of your for music

[@christianaubourg3895]

I prefer when Marcel Dadi is playing.
