Tommy Emmanuel Blue Moon

[@thevelointhevale1132]

There's no hiding with an acoustic guitar ... Tommy puts the best electric players to shame and does it bare bones while he's at it. Australian legend ...

[@coryCuc]

You got that right. Zero effects to hide behind. What you see and hear is what you get.

[@revhill819]

Well it depends on your style. Personally, having heard Tommy play electric several times, I think he lacks that extra spark and umpf on it compared to others. Tommy is the GOAT at what he does best though.

[@louiem337]

Tommy is an orchestra... Enough said

[@abnzg]

1:51, classic Chet Atkins lick 1:54, Tommy leans back to the mic, "thank you Chet"

[@GengarOP]

Damn that was genuine

[@jameslivesey8322]

can you link a chet piece where he does something similar. I legit thought that was the highlight of the performance. like a waterfall....

[@mooneulogy8717]

​@Arse Jacket what happened exactly then?

[@schmidt60410]

@MasterP420 That's exactly what happened. He does it every time he does this song.

[@mooneulogy8717]

@Cris Packet still waiting to see what happened exactly, because it sounded a lot like him playing an atkins lick then him saying "thank you chet" . you complete and utter idiot.

[@FEGuitar]

Tommy is quiet possibly the greatest guitarist that will ever live.

[@freehat6894]

N W so you clearly never heard of Joe Pass...

[@PhillipGregoryMusic]

As much as I love Joe pass, he could never play the kind of things that tommy plays. Depends what kind of style you like I guess. I think Tommy is such a complete guitarist, motherfucker can play anything.

[@Wagiblues]

well - do not say that...........he is great, but others too. (Chris Duarte, just to name one) - and its always the same game, who is the best: Federer or Nadal? Or Djokovic.... endlless question with no use. Sorry, if my English is not properly.

[@Janoline6]

A guitar belongs to Tommy’s hands!

[@1974jrod]

Not quite, he is by far the greatest guitar player.

[@bos3540]

Absolutely topclass!

[@gangnamstylegrandpa6352]

I can only say WOW !!! His playing is so far advanced from anybody I have ever heard !! Every time I hear him I am amazed all over again !!!!!!!

[@sheilabloom6735]

Unbelievable. He is one of the all-time great guitarists. Love him,

[@furrymonkeything]

Absolute performer! You can see how he puts his entire body into the whole delivery.....you know he can dance as this is a by-product of being able to keep in time with this level of showmanship. I love that he is predominantly playing chords. This is why I'm interested but I have a life time to catch up😆. I play chords but sometimes stray into picking the guitar as in my church band we have no base or lead. Just somewhat reluctant key board player and absent drummer. You do what you can. This guy is great!♥️😃

[@ndpmomentum2445]

I can’t get enough of tommys playing

[@kenlyneham4105]

Amazing!, just doesn't seem to cut it, but it's the best I can do. I first started to listen to TE's playing on ABC 2 radio in Sydney in the early 70s. He was a session guitarist in those days and the ABC 2 picked him up and gave him a lot of exposure. Even then I thought he was fantastic, not realising how brilliant he would become. It's not a good thing to say that he's the best Guitarist in the world, but I understand why people say it. He stands out from all other guitarists I have heard and watched. I think it is mostly that he is an extreme perfectionist in that he puts everything, and then some, into every performance. It's not that he doesn't make mistakes, he does, but he blends them into the tune so they don't sound out of place. Some say he plays too fast. When he does though, you can still hear every note. He can play blurringly fast but that's not his forte. What makes him so good is that along with his perfectionism, he puts in so much personality and pure joy. He works so bloody hard at it, without it showing, that he makes it look easy.

[@lukas10594]

He's just perfectly amazing and nothing more...

[@hiramyawicks1287]

Tonny, there is no one to match your beat, your style with regard to this song. Thank you for this lovely version of this song. Cheers! from Sri Lanka!!

[@marcusloftis2779]

It never gets old

[@danielelvis3701]

HE IS THE MAN

[@sacitmanav]

Daniël Schoemaker whos is the man he is the man

I've heard it many times, but still...my face is melted again

[@LadyCroMag]

THERE IS NOBODY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

[@DaveintheD-p4s]

This guy is so good it's amazing.

[@danrohde9591]

awesomely cool jazz fingerstyle performance of Blue Moon.

[@Crackers2549]

AGREE....Tommy is the MAN!

[@sampowellmusic]

definitely one of the top 100 guitarists in the world. haha jk he's the freakin best!

[@hiramyawicks1287]

Just fabulous! Greetings from Sri Lanka!

[@craigwallace1862]

I get inspired two ways by them,makes me want to play,and makes me want to quit

[@duanewilson3941]

Your not alone.

[@craigwallace1862]

Duane Wilson Phil Emanuel R.I.P. was something to behold playing with Tommy, a band or even just a rythum section,were not needed,in fact,it would possibly detract from the technical details of the two

[@DONOTS]

GOOD MUSIC TO LISTEN WHILE WATCHING BLUE MOON IN THE PHILIPPINES 8-10PM 1.31.18. BLUE MOON LAST APPEARANCE MARCH 1866, 152 YEARS AGO...

[@marias7599]

Gorgeous 💜

[@redsparks13]

What a wonderful bass and of course the acoustic too

[@federicaromeo2053]

he is THE MAN

[@СергейЛебедев-д3я]

!!!!! спасибо огромное за музыку,, спасибо брат Томми!!!!!💓🎶 Привет из Улан-Удэ Россия 🎸!

[@markspencer171]

The greatest .

[@ayokay123]

So basically, he's on drums, bass, AND guitar. :D

[@manumakabak4900]

Exactly but both Rythm AND lead guitar !

[@ayokay123]

Didn't even think about that. WOW!!!!

[@marias7599]

And basically vocals. He’s making the guitar sing.

[@latchie8893]

To quote him "We don't need no stinking band up here"

[@Gele_Rodrigo]

increible!

[@NickC769]

Simply fantastic!!

[@madikwalea431]

Hats off to you Sir!!!

[@Nicole-my2mp]

Wtf, how can he keep the bass goingg while melody-ing ? 😍😍😍

[@julianvickers]

Abraham Nicollas wizardry.

[@skenandj]

[@paolitas7]

[@6StringPassion.]

I was there.

[@sonicbooomboy]

That really is very good

[@albertofranzi]

Grande Tommy ….super guitarist …. bravissimo !

[@garryroberts5106]

One word ... Genius.

[@JamesBrown-vy4fc]

[@mufasaIRL]

[@AxelRnnvocalguitar]

[@Saigenji_guitar]

[@Portabledexter]

My favourite of Tommy's covers!

[@alexdesamsonow822]

He is an icon!!!!

[@keulito1983]

Masterpiece!

[@stanuitm.7749]

incredible

[@Janoline6]

Amazing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 As always!

[@HeardFromMeFirst]

What came first..Tommy..or the Guitar ?

[@baptmry3951]

Incredible

[@albertospaziani9525]

Eccezionale

[@vyvynylification]

Did I really just spot another "best in the world" conversation? I see people comparing Tommy to the likes of Steve Vai? That's like comparing an F1 driver to a nascar driver? Both are some of the best at their type of racing/guitar playing but it's soooo different. Man I love Tommy playing! His music isn't my type of music but his energy and skill is addicting

[@jude.v25]

Thinking about the 33 people who have hit the dislike button... Can't comprehend what could be wrong with them.

[@freemanrabe4689]

Why he's always doing it instrumental? He has a nice voice, why don't you just sing it, Tommy?! I'd always love to watch you singing!♥️

[@SeaH0rizn]

Fallout New Vegas !

[@GengarOP]

Eyy same man

[@ndrongulun]

Pure magic

[@agustinmedinaconcepcion6281]

El swing lo es todo.

[@theGregfish]

I slowed this down to figure out how to play it and I couldn't stop laughing it sounds exactly like it would if he was drunk

[@jimboslice9472]

wow! He's sober

[@Crackers2549]

Tommy plays Maton guitars from Australia....

[@alexloweh1]

Genius

[@davidmillet8813]

tried to watch it without a grin.....didnt work. guitar genuis

[@antonsworldofvideos8096]

The opening to this sounds like Nina Simones My baby only cares for me - Tommy you should modify it to that it will give you a whole extra track

[@andysnat]

Good Grief.

[@Bluelew777]

dang

[@deynorus]

Sick.

[@Gesanglehrer]

grandios

[@НиколайКрупин-ч3ж]

Полный восторг!

[@maxrettig9926]

Waiting for Tommy to do "Blue Bayou."

[@PAVOLFORSBERGG]

Max Rettig no, just no

[@guitaristmathewsloan8006]

+mark sloaner lol

[@nothing1more487]

WHAT IN THE GODDAMN!

[@freddy7700]

👍 👍 👍

[@megabolt33samorezov27]

мне очень нравиться!

[@KS622]

Anyone tabs on that short (staccato) chord at exactly 3.12 (just before the lick) and 3.14 just after the lick?. The tabs i've found arent very accurate and they don't seem to sound right. I just can't figure it out.....

[@JakeRigby1]

Looks like an F7 and then a D7 with an F# in the bass

[@michaelzakovich2979]

Does anyone know what he did 1:06 and how to make the sound????

[@MeltedGuitarStrings]

he bent the neck

[@guitaristmathewsloan8006]

You just push on the top of the guitar, giving it a wammy effect. But you cant push too hard I guess, dont wanna break it. Haha

[@imperialmodder]

Mathew Sloan It only works if you have a rod inside the guitar making it bendy and loose. Classical nylons usually dont have em :)

[@guitaristmathewsloan8006]

okay, but I can do it with mine. I just thought that maybe the sound system in his guitar (AP5 pro) had a mic closer to that top part so that he could get the sound better out of it

[@GengarOP]

Better live performance than Neon

[@Edsoneme]

Ótimo!

[@guitarmanzubin]

He is god

[@62biggsy]

I don't think even God practices that much..

[@samrockw2256]

love the apple guitar profile pic

[@jamestoddguitar1433]

2:34

[@Kingdom_Dweller]

What sorcery is this

[@njmikec]

moon

[@qppain_killer44]

Yang nonton orang indonesia ada ?

[@bronney]

I forgot to breathe, then let out a jesus christ..

[@RupaG4]

Who knows what guitar this is?

[@brianfauteux7711]

Tommy plays Maton guitars,made in Australia!

[@RealXD]

what did he do to the guitar at 1:07 ?

[@lewishaxton1026]

If you put you hand on the top part of the body and push the neck a bit the strings will loosen giving that cool effect!

[@RealXD]

Lewis Haxton. :O THANKS!!!

[@livinlife245]

Careful with that though, can easily damage the neck of the guitar or mess up the joint

[@RealXD]

livinlife245 OK! :D thanks for the tip!

[@harrypeters8306]

I've heard better! I just don't know when?

[@noelmeehan]

maton ebg808

[@Actingskint]

There is no greatest , only the player who appeals to your own individual taste and style of interpretation. Never never ever make the mistake of believing one person holds the keys to any artistic journey . It’s wrong on so many levels . It’s like comparing Pavarotti to sam cook . Now jog on and learn to appreciate the styles of all players and welcome them all to the club

[@fallenslave6684]

Please read the Holy Bible.

[@GengarOP]

Get outta 'ere

[@teladan5]

Obviously he puts in an incredible amount of practice, but he makes the playing look so effortless - when it clearly isn't.

[@6StringPassion.]

I was there.
