Yep

[@cocolossal69]

I really think after watching this, that there is nothing to argue about anymore. Tommy is the greatest acoustic guitarist of our time. It's not even subjective. It's just a simple fact 💜

[@longtalljay]

Try and convince TR fans.

[@cocolossal69]

😕 you're gonna have to be more specific... I went through all the guitar greats initials I could think of ... JS, JB, JH, MK, EC, BS, SRV, SV, EVH, PE, GM ... Couldn't think of who TR is 🤔 Anyway, it doesn't matter... Some people have a different opinion and it's ok that they're wrong 😂

[@longtalljay]

@@cocolossal69 Tony Rice. Even Dan Crary is no less "great" among "acoustic guitarists of our time."

[@guitar1950]

@@longtalljay Tony Rice is great too. Saw him live once a few years ago. The thing about Tommy though, is he plays so many guitar techniques and a variety of styles of music so well. Jazz, blues, blue grass, pop, country, folk, classical etc. Electric or acoustic guitar. Fingerstyle, flat pick, finger pick, no picks flat pick and fingers, harmonics, incredibly fast or ballads with great feel.

[@alankenworthy9722]

@@longtalljay I would go further , he is the greatest solo performer in the world. He belongs to us all, how lucky we are.

[@john-ob7bv]

I've watched this video about 50,000 times. Since upload to now. And I'm so lucky to have finally met tommy in January and even shook his hand. I met my guitar hero.

[@tecentral7564]

I think this video has the best audio out of any TE content out there

[@dreambeliever3652]

I was just noticing that. It’s super clean man

[@stevenwarren6540]

You too Adam!

[@jeanbedard9784]

Yea Tommy is pretty incredible I've seen him twice now and waiting for him to come back to Victoria in Sept I believe him and Joe Robinson should be a heck of a concert! Are you ever going to come to Victoria B.C. Canada Adam. Would love to see you perform here!!

[@adamrafferty]

@@jeanbedard9784 Would love to, if they invite me, I'll come! I played in Bangkok with Tommy, Joe and Michael Fix in 2009 - wow time flies!

[@LadyCroMag]

Sweeeet!!! ADAM RAFFERTY SAW THE SAME TE SHOW!!!

[@davidmason116]

Wow, just wow! Everytime he plays, something magic happens. His timbre is beautiful, the blend between the thumb pick muting alongside open resonate chord progressions on top makes it sound like there are 3 guitar players at times. We are truly blessed to have this man on the planet. Thee best acoustic guitar player to have ever walked the earth. What a player 👏 🙌 👌

[@paulschneider7271]

That’s great. Tommy is a living legend. How fantastic to have the possibility to watch gems like this video for free.

[@asandiegoguy]

Here I am, March 2023, watching Tommy play songs I’ve heard him play hundreds of times, completely engrossed at 3:30 AM in the morning. No other artist has this effect on me. It’s pure magic.

[@MaryJo-t4g]

Christmas holiday, 2023..., alone again...he's awesome, just learned of him a few years ago.

[@mrssriplo1]

Tommy always surprises me. There's always a gem or 100 in every performance that catches me off guard. I try to soak in as much as possible.

[@paulsmallwood8779]

When I was a kid in rural Australia, having beers with mates and watching Tommy and his older brother Phil (sadly, passed 5 years ago, equal best guitarist with Tommy - no one could split 'em) - I never thought I'd be watching Tommy blowing minds the world over.

[@neillalchin1595]

The world has an overdue declaration to make, there is an eighth wonder of the world, Mr Tommy Emmanuel!! NA1974🇬🇧

[@chester777ful]

Great picking but most of all i liked the story about meeting my hero Chet Atkins thanks Tommy.

[@jeffspringer7374]

Thank you to everyone who put this together so we could watch Mr. Emmanuel at his craft. This man is one best ever!

[@bradcarmel3878]

Saw Tommy DEC.8, 2021 at the Murat, Egyptian Room right about the time he did this show. So much style and class, you can hear the Chet Atkins influence, (only better, heresy I know) his idol in a lot of his music and picking.

[@4gpm]

This man is beyond real. I've got no words to describe his virtuosity.

[@milosristic1111]

BRAVOOOOO ♥CHEERS♥

[@dreambeliever3652]

There will NEVER be another MASTER like TOMMY! The amount of expertise here is unheard of

[@cindyjean3208]

I’ve never seen a man and a guitar where it appears he has an intimate relationship with his guitar… truly inspirational and alluring… To hear of his love for my beloved homeland- America, makes me love him even more… What a truly honorable man😊🥰

[@matthewschad6689]

Tommy has gotten jazzier over the years and it’s great!

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

TOMMY EMMANUEL - A Mostly Beatles Medley (December 11, 2021) He's been an American citizen for three years now, based in Nashville. Pre-covid he was performing up to 300 'dates' a year. He's older now, but plays with as much power and precision as ever. He'll take your breath away in concert. The last time he played Winnipeg the small newspaper advertisement said simply: “Greatest guitarist I've ever seen” - Eric Clapton. It was his second visit to Winnipeg within a year: The first was the result (I'd like to think) of my politely pestering him for a few years to “include the world's coldest city in your travels.” I got two tickets to the 'meet-and-greet' before the show (my guitarist grandson Thomas and me). After the show, Tommy said he'd enjoyed the Winnipeg welcome so much, “We've already arranged to come back here in one year.” A guitarist friend just shared this video -- recorded just a few weeks ago in Boston, at a small charity benefit show for an audience of 100 who gave him a standing ovation after his 'mostly Beatles' medley. If you can spare 14 minutes, The Beatles segment starts at the 1:01:33 mark (of this two hour show) after an endearing recollection by Tommy about his “Mum”: “I remember,” he says, “my Mother saying to me - back when the Beatles were HUGE in Australia with five songs in the Top 10, my Mother said, 'Don't listen to that rubbish!' “Years later I'm playing a concert in the town in Australia where my Mom would eventually be living. I'm in a big hall and I play my version of MICHELLE. At the end of the night, my Mom comes up to me and says, 'What was that BEAUTIFUL piece of music!?' I said [big smile] That was the Beatles, Mum!” P.S. Thanks to TCAN for sharing this. Celebrated elsewhere this night [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

[@WhiskeyShred]

There are guitarist that are the top of the field that you look up to and admire and try to learn from. And then there’s Tommy who makes us feel like we’re toddlers strumming a toy. Lol love ya Tommy. Christmas Eve isn’t the same without you.

[@77goanywhere]

I don't know what it is with TE, but I can't watch him for long but that I have tears in my eyes. God reaches out to us through what Tommy does and who he is.

[@rogerbee697]

Nope. Tommy reaches out. No god needed.

[@ramonamiller8564]

Tommy, you are just a totally gifted guitarist. You have put in the hard yards for many years which is obvious and you feel every emotion that magically turns into beautiful melodies in your playing. Your playing is so inspiring and powerful and precise. I have been a big fan for many years being a guitar player myself from Queensland, Australia. Yes I have all your CD'S mate! You are a legend and we all are blessed that we all can enjoy your music. You have the WOW factor and there is just no more to say except this- 'perfection plus'. 🎸🎼🎵🎶💿😊😘

Extraordinary player and a blessing that we get see and hear this man create music. Privileged to have attended a TE guitar camp in Australia what a wonderful time of music and joy.

[@marythibodeau124]

I've been following Tommy for many years. I love watching his amazing virtuosity but it's his musical sense that really gets me. I mean, he has such a deep knowledge of what sounds good musically; beautiful chord progressions with very appealing melodies. His spirit, his persona is part of it also. He loves what he's doing and he draws you in to share the experience with him.

[@tommysixstring5094]

Thanks for sharing this - Tommy is a legend and the video & audio quality are amazing!

[@dreambeliever3652]

No joke: put this sound on a nice BLUETOOTH speaker and man guys:: ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING! This dude is way better than you’ve already known

[@skiddrowe9104]

Every time I experience a video of Mr. Emmanuel, I'm truly awestruck in a huge way. I believe no other guitarist will reach his level of his technique and guitar artistry for many years in the future. I may be wrong,; only time will tell. His mastery of chords, melody, harmonics and bass enable him to accompany his vocals, in my opinion, avail to his audiences an almost total musical miracles before their presence.

[@Blaze_1961]

If only those born here felt the same way as you Tommy! Naturalized citizens are the most patriotic people I have met.

I wonder if he’s training or teaching anyone or a group of young generation to carry on his legacy. He will be sadly miss when he’s gone with his gift. He’s a league of his own. I never get tired of watching or listening to him. He can sing too.Thank your Tommy and God bless you

[@cocolossal69]

He has guitar camps quite regularly, and often has local talent open for him when he tours ... he's all about bringing new and talented players into the light. He'll share the stage with pretty much anyone and happily jams with fans at meet and greets as well. He's a true ambassador of music 💜

IMHO the best Tommy´s full concert on YT ever, great sound and playlist, especialy the Merle´s medley is just fantastic... and the speach before the song and how Tommy sings and plays I Still Can't Say Goodbye is one of the most moving and beautiful moments I have seen in music. So genuine, so honest, so deeply felt yet civil and far from any pathos or excessive emotions.

[@Spellbound888]
