A note on recording Tommy's guitar: All the sound you hear from Tommy's guitar in this video comes from the pickup system in his Maton, recorded via the Direct Input on the AER Compact 60 (discussed at 54:35 - link in description). You may have noticed the microphone in front of the soundhole but it may not come as a surprise to learn that that's not particularly effective when there's a cover over the soundhole. Tommy covers the soundhole so he can get the most out of the microphone pickup by cranking it up (explained at 58:30).

MorbidManMusic I know it’s a bluegrass/old school guy thing that “pickups are bad”. I’m a bluegrass player too. But this pickup sounds just fine. Tommy wasn’t about to take the strings off his guitar and take the soundhole cover out, nor should he have. There’s plenty of footage of his raw guitar, mic’d up.

When my son was 6 years old I took him to see Tommy, when he made an appearance in Blackpool, UK. We sat right at the front and Tommy regularly smiled at my son during the concert. Towards the end of the evening he addressed my son directly and dedicated a song to him, as by now it was very late in the evening but my son was still full of life and enjoying the gig. He said something along the lines of "this is for the little lad at the front, so he can remember the time when Tommy Emmanuel played two songs at once." Tommy then played Dixie/Yankee Doodle Dandy, both melodies simultaneously!!! What a guy and what a superb artist.

The guy is an awesome player, but so humble. The highlight was when some wag shouted "can you do anything Irish", and Tommy pauses a moment then says "I can blow up yer car mate!". After a short stunned silence everyone fell about the place laughing. You have to have a personality to get away with that!

He genuinely is the nicest full-time working musician I have ever met - and would chat to you for hours if he had the time. I had the chance to meet his brother Phil (who - as per the video - passed away last year) with Tommy once also, and the same could be said of him. Just your old school amazingly nice kinda family.

Tommy mentions how his dreams "slowly unfolded" - but he's one of those rare birds whose dreams were built upon stunning talent. I finally saw him last year in Charleston, SC (with David Grisman). What I love about this interview is that Lee lets Tommy talk - and Tommy has no useless filler, but start to finish something of value to share of his incredible beginnings, story and encouragement to other musicians. And to think what sacrifices and chance his dad took to get his kids a music career - I mean, that took a lot of courage. And I'm sure a lot of people thought he was crazy. Lastly, when one thinks about how few (primarily) mostly instrumentalist players strike massive success - I mean, you can just about count them on one hand. But an ACOUSTIC guitarist, mostly known for his virtuosity, and yet filling auditoriums all over the world - I mean, how rare and wonderful is THAT???!!!

How can you not like Tommy Emmanual? As a guitarist of course but as a bloke too. I didn't know all that about his start. Ozzie of course which I may say gives people quite a start wrt personality, but quite a rough start to lose his dad that early. So, modern medicine or not Tommy, - do keep calm mate! The cherry on his cake is that he not only knew Chet Atkins but they were friends and Tommy impressed him enough to get that CGP award and only a very few were ever awarded. I've watched Tommy on KZbin and live. There it is. Total talent on the gee-tar. Great entertainment and an inspiration to carry on. Thanks Tommy; Thanks Andertons

A big shout out to Australian talent, and one of the best there is. Tommy is a very humble amazing bloke who I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing in concert. Loved hearing about his journey and influences from Chet Atkins. An absolute legend.

Met Tommy Emmanual in Halifax Nova Scotia a few years back with my son who is a guitar player from a young age. He was so encouraging to Mitch and you could feel the passion for what he does when he speaks to you. Mitch always refers to Mr Emmanual in great terms because I think he felt a kindred spirit in him .

To me his is THE defining version of that song. It manages to put all the heartache, heartbreak and joy of that song into pure sound without lyrics.
