Not just the greatest living guitar player currently, but a man who enjoys performing so much he shines at every gig.

[@Louis-ef4eb]

Um No...😂 Its too hokey, that's not shine...

[@davidgeorge8226]

You can feel the joy when he plays! He loves his job!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@gael5609]

best guitarist on live, but not best guitarist

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@gael5609 'Best' is just an opinion, it cannot be measured. Technically he is as good as anyone else on the planet, but there are many who are just as good but in a slightly different way. Yes Spanish guitarists are also technically great, and some electric rock guitarists can 'shred' in a technical way (I don't consider it musical but each to their own).

[@billwillock7245]

There’s only one Tommy Emanuel. Thank god I got to be a human at the same time as him.

[@philipershler420]

Frankly, sometimes I wonder if Tommy Emanuel is really human. 🤷‍♂️

[@barrycole]

Guitar playing, the highest-rated form of meditation known to man. After a while it becomes a language, spoken by those that have something to say.

[@jamesplummer2574]

This guy inspired me to pick up and start learning the guitar. I'm pretty sure after a thousand hours of practice I will be able to hold the guitar just like Tommy. 😂

[@alexdesamsonow822]

There’s nobody, I mean nobody like Tommy Emanuel !!! 🫡❤️

[@MD-jn1xk]

Waiting for February 18th in Stuttgart/Germany. Saw you last time at Vicar Street in Dublin. Great gig. Gerat audience.. Gerat performance. Thanks mate.

[@pseank56]

Just paid 2x more than any show in my 65 years in Charlottesville VA and I will tell you it was the best show I've ever seen. Worth every penny. I did get good seats and Tommy was beyond my greatest expectations BRAVO BRAVO! Play it again! Put Roanoke on tour Blacksburg Lime Kiln.

[@designsupplyfit]

Decades of heart and soul + the perfect amount of flash and showmanship. This is just amazing!

[@iansmith1556]

Very few musicians show so much enjoyment in their music. The man is a joy

[@tamaramurphy5386]

I love you, Tommy, Sir!!! Love you for turning me onto Billy Strings and you remind me of my late Uncle and Daddy. Just the Best--Timing. what a Trip! Tamara Jobe.

[@renatosoaresdegodoy6691]

Besides being one of the best guitarists in the world, he's a fun guy. Really a showman. Thanks Tommy 💪🏻

[@ksmacco]

Legendary, thank you Tommy. Have seen you live many times. A beacon of hope to aspire to, guitar wise and as a beautiful human.

[@glennmorris9337]

One of the best gigs I ever did see - Tommy 'the one man band' Emmanuel at the cosy Hope Theatre at Wollongong Uni a few years ago. Truely Amazing !!!!!!

I know this isn't going to be of interest to anyone, but I practiced thumbpicking enough that I was finally able to combine it with a tremolo flawlessly this week, at about 20 nps.

micidiale

[@DannyHood-j]

He looks like unknown country dudes during the 1940s and 50s. They walk into bar (hole in wall) sing play for drinks. Filthy dirty from working in fields picking fruit. Buck Owen’s many others.

[@doncook1278]

I love it till he starts “singing”. Sorry if it triggers y’all.

[@blazbarisic6578]

Well you know..I give props to Tommy for singing despite he isn't the best at it and I bet he knows it very well. So for the sake of not being always perfect in every aspect I give him a props for that. He just knows he has the groove, energy and vibe so he dares to sing and contribute to the whole point of performance. I'm not stoked about him singing too much either. :)

[@jamesplummer2574]

I mean he can play guitar, bass line and percussion all simultaneously, so why not sing? I think he's earned it.

[@doncook1278]

@ Meant no disrespect to his being a GOAT on guitar, but he’s like Roy Clark. He can outperform anyone on the instrument. But the singing is akin to nails on a chalkboard. Just an opinion. Not a statement of fact.

[@doncook1278]

@ Respect. Two respectful counterpoints in a row on KZbin. Am I dreaming? You have helped restore my faith in humanity.

[@lorenneufeld4306]

TE's vocals are a whole lot better than, say, Leo Kottke, for example. Love Leo's playing but for the voice... TE's not all that bad really, rather that than his "Drumming shtick" that he used to (??) incorporate in his sets. Hope he's dropped that crap!
