Tommy is one of my guitar heroes! I've been playing for 56 years and in my opinion he is one of the all time best acoustic guitarists ever!

[@moosha786]

+TheSwatmachine 56 years wow , I just started a year and a half ago , may I ask from you experience , do you play as fast and skilful as him or only talented people like Tommy do , just wondering if I can be like him one day .

[@MistoPENGUIN]

+adams ibrahim , it depends on practice, man) Tommy is playing for less than 56 years, but he does what you see on the videos like this. he just said he had been practicing for many hours every day. just play, copy others' technics and try to improvise when you have a bit of experience and knowledge)

Ridiculously amazing! Thanks Tommy for the wonderful music.

[@LevisSparkz]

Johnny may,how about u giving us some lessons on this

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

Yes amazing in every way. Including his tone. My experience has been it is very difficult to mic acoustic steel string guitar in a way that allows flat picking of melodic ideas to sound appealing. He (or his sound tech buddies) do it well enough so even a video posted on a non-music specific forum allows it to sound good.

[@simonlaaeestander]

People are writing about so much, feeling, the guitar, skill, but seriously, the control that mr. emmanuel possesses is beyond this world. For real

[@judah6859]

He uses the imperfections of the guitar so well. Doesn’t need to edit out all of the scraping of the strings. Doesn’t need to make the bass notes or treble louder. This is why I love Tommy!

[@TelcoSteve]

Again,what is more mind blowing than Tommy's genius at the 6 string, is that 8,447 likes were achieved out of 389,794 views. Thank you Tommy for the free songs and your time that you give - not just for yourself playing songs we love - but for worthy causes such as this. It is one thing to be great. It is quite another to be greater by giving your time for worthy causes.

[@arnabganguly]

Starting today, I'll put in hours of insane practice each day, the aim is to play like him for just one day before I die

I can't prevent getting a smile on my face, when I see him play. He is so sympathetic, so enthusiastic, you can see and hear the joy for what he does in every note he plays. It's just fun to hear and see him play and his skills are outstanding. Nice!!!

[@Wookie8058]

Well said, Paul... He loves what he does and enjoys it, put the same remarkable effort into EVERY song he plays. It's so amazing to watch this man do what he does, let alone hear it! Just jaw-dropping!

[@SergeCeyral]

Two years ago, I've been very lucky to see him in Paris (Olympia concert hall); he opened for Johnny Winter (as a substitute for Alvin Lee who had passed away the week before...) He ruined the whole evening in a 20 minute showcase : compared to him, anyone comin' on the stage with a guitar in hand, looked disabled!... He's a true genius and a real, plain and modest gentleman.

[@DASyam-tb7qt]

Getting TE for 'opening act' to a guitar performance is the biggest mistake you can make.

[@wiejetze8397]

Perhaps better J. W. should have been the opener for him...?

[@SergeCeyral]

@@wiejetze8397 yep, but TE did it just to save the evening ...

TE is one of the few people so incredibly familiar with a guitar that he can use every single sound the entire thing can produce to his musical advantage, including pretty much every possible string technique. Truly a living legend!

[@eddytanhh]

What brand is the guitar in this video? What is the function of the soundhole block? Can we use a soundhole block in a normal acoustic guitar? Thanks.

[@Anonymoose]

+Eddy Tan The guitar is a Maton. That "soundhole block" is a specialized acoustic guitar pickup / mic.

[@eddytanhh]

Thanks for information!

[@tommyemmanuel]

+Eddy Tan Anonymoose was partly right: the guitar is a custom Maton EBG808TE and the black piece of rubber on the soundhole is a feedback buster, which eliminates feedback when using the microphone and pickup. It basically blocks the hole to stop sound from coming out. TE Admin

[@Anonymoose]

+Tommy Emmanuel Many thanks for that clarification! I had been misled to believe it was the actual in-guitar mic.

[@777dyl777]

+Tommy Emmanuel doesn't the feedback buster block the microphone and make it non-functional? Or does it still work?
