[@harveyharveyness8773]

After viewing this I went home took the strings off of my guitar and put a potted plant in the sound hole-nuff said?

[@chopsddy3]

You don’t have to do that. You just have to avoid playing ,in public , after him. For about a year.Or three.

[@austenrobinson2747]

Even the best rockers know and respect this guy

[@trogytrog3558]

Lucky enough to see Tommy every Friday night at the Roxy Cafe in Glebe Sydney over 40 years ago. He would crash his brother Phils band around midnight and rip on his electric allways a thrill. Onya Tommy ledgen ❤ oh yeah no cover charge , the good old days .fond memories. Tommy n Phil ❤

[@SteveG123]

Tommy is from another dimension with his playing. Plus, the man is a super entertainer. He knows how to have fun and his audiences love it.

[@sam-jams6689]

Not in the Rolling Stone's best 250 guitarists of all time? What a joke! Thanks for posting, this is feel good music

[@NYVoice]

99% of those Stone finalists can't do a fraction of what Tommy can. Ignore those nerdy polls.

[@Darbeye]

They just left out the best. Honest mistake lol

[@oldbandguy]

Rolling Stone...the favorite in out houses all across America.

[@GUITARISTED]

Rolling Stone is total joke rag

[@billygibbons8601]

From where I live, he's from another Country...hold on....another World ! Incredible.

[@Daytripper51]

NOBODY plays as tasteful as Tommy!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Just as there is no other Tommy Emmanuel, there is no other Marty Stuart.

[@bgrigg07]

Both masters at their craft, but Marty knows better than to follow Tommy on stage.

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Marty is an all around better musician.... not many have the courage to step on stage in his presence.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@BryanClark-gk6ie As much as I enjoy Tommy Emmanuel, he is a showman with guitar skills. He admits to that. It is my opinion, while Marty is also a showman, he is a musician who plays guitar and mandolin.

[@bgrigg07]

@@jeffhildreth9244 You don't think Tommy can play other stringed instruments? LOL!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@bgrigg07 I have no knowledge of that. I am simply relating what Tommy Emmanuel has said.. "I'm a showman with a guitar" His words , not mine.

[@stevemurray2737]

Tommy is the Top of the Heap of Great Guitar Player Entertainers now!.. Kenny Vaughan and Marty Stuart are right up there!

[@miatovich8539]

Tommy is simply a beast in the guitar world 🔥

[@makeitcount179]

Just everything. This man is a guitar machine.

[@user-ug6ti3op3x]

Just to see this in 2013 amazing . Fast forward it is 2024 . Marty Stuart and his band still rocks up a stage but the presence of Tommy Emmanuel can conquer the spot light as commanding with his style . He is undoubtedly off the charts of any top guitarist in the world . Hard to not leave him of any list . He has earned those honors .

[@louisevad6091]

He defined his own style and inspired so many of the greats of today

[@louisevad6091]

He makes it look so easy

Quite an accomplishment to have Marty and Kenny just watch...

[@cthanks8203]

Better than most i have seen on youtube

[@juniordenney9892]

Always perfection 😊 Outstanding!

[@CornerstoneChurchNet]

He is just the best.

[@dancochrane617]

How can anyone be that good on guitar?? Years of playing, practice. I’m amazed. Thanks for being there Tom

[@Zacharia503]

Got his first guitar when he was 4, turned pro when he was 6.......

[@ukestudio3002]

Many play and practice for decades. ..nowhere near this level of playing. Give the man himself some due.! Will miss him when he’s gone a true original. 👍🏽

[@budg.6094]

He made an interesting comment once. He said he knew he was born with a gift, and I believe the exact quote was, also, that “I knew I had to pursue it with every ounce of my energy.” So, it’s both.

[@philrichmond5919]

And having a brother equally as talented encouraging you to be the best you can be. The experience of performing live from an early age. A deep love for musicianship and crafting songs. There’s an emotional component that shapes musicians, it’s not just the mechanics of playing and repetition. We are products of not just our choices but also of circumstance. When your brother is so good he’s known as The Wiz, you have to do something different to step out of that shadow and forge your own path. And aren’t we glad he did 😁

[@markmorgan7450]

So clean! Hours upon hours upon hours!!!

Go Tommy Go

He's just something else 👌

[@EMWoodworking]

When Marty Stuart says take my guitar, you know the man is awesome.

[@williamoneill9573]

Yes, but is it music or just showmanship.

[@EMWoodworking]

@@williamoneill9573 do you think Tommy Emanuel isn’t a great musician. Yeah there’s entertainment in his playing. Check out some of his other videos.

[@stephenhenion8304]

Yeah Man! 🎶🎶🎶

[@ReVerTFx]

BEAST MODE

[@michaelmoore7975]

Marty- Awesome guit player. Tommy- There ain't nobody like Tommy. He's so dynamic and uses every part of the guit. I bet he goes through a pack a day.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I checked my settings during the first song, and it was Abnormal for playback speed. I prefer Tommy with the second song, less flash gimmicks.

[@johnsaliba7191]

so true

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

🚬🤠 awesome

[@jasper_north]

I just ordered an Uber for my 5 guitars. They will leave the building through the back door…

Well, tell him to stop by my place too. I’ll hand him my four to commensurate with yours.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Often we have guitarists play just for show, offering a rendition that is not pleasant to hear. This was one of those occasions, showing that even one of the best guitarists on the planet is not above it.

[@hammill444]

So you are saying he’s just playing for “show”? If you are, I completely agree. Kind of a Vegas style revue showboat playing.- all bluster no soul.

[@Divocwax]

Not a lot of music I agree. But good music is too easy for him.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

@@hammill444 That sounds about right. No disrespect intended. I’m a big fan and drove to Knoxville Tennessee to watch him live a few years ago. He’s phenomenal.

[@gene2069]

Like a lot of Billy Strings' stuff. In Tommy's concert video I have he plays a lot of slow Atkin's style stuff too. He can do it all and I think he does in his shows.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

@@gene2069 Yes, but mad respect for both. Makes me think of Buster B Jones a true phenomenon. If you dig really deep, you’re fine, he can play beautiful slow and moderately paced instrumentals. But, as Chet Atkins supposedly said, Buster tended to play everything like he was double park.

Remember the first tune from Bert Weedon's Play In A Day book.

My son wasn’t impressed but I’m a guitar player so I was blown away .

[@markstaggs7342]

I been playing for over fifty years I'm not saying he can't play but to much is just to much,I have heard him play where I really liked it but this in my opinion is overkill to where it's just a bunch of noise.

[@christhorn4399]

Like him or not . The man has put So many hours practicing His craft as well as a fabulous show man , and really nice person . So you don't like Jimi , Freddy king etc . Just enjoy it .
