[@Rohit-oz1or]

Very generous of him to share his secrets with everyone. But he is very well aware that very few would be able to be this proficient

[@Daddyj90]

That’s the same with any skill or craft.

[@MrRich-yp7eu]

When it comes to the guitar, this man has no limitations.

[@amyschugarsugarfemaleguita8960]

Saw Tommy in concert last night, and it was the best show I've ever seen. You've got to see him live!!

[@FIshfood500]

Totally irrelevant comment

[@carloponferrada9726]

Wow, now someone who is a great guitarist that has guts to say he steal from Chet, well i put it as "Learned from Chet". And i know it takes a lot of determination & hardwork to play like chet, well chet is chet & tommy is tommy, both great guitarist that ever lived. Now tommy is sharing us what he has learned from chet. Respect to both of this guys. Special mention is mark knofler. Its really fun watching mark videos also. These 3's are legends. "RESPECT"

[@Englishpa464]

The great guitar master. God bless your teaching, Tommy Emmanuel.

[@JamesLaisGlass]

Got it! Thank you Tommy! I've always wanted to get one of these crazy harp like 'floating ' licks, and this is a real gem. You've become my number one favorite guitarist. Thank you so much!

[@josefamekemeke2931]

Me too

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Like Guthrie Govan said: if you steal from one person, it's plagiarism; if you steal from multiple people, it's doing research.

[@billkropp]

Research HAHAHHAHA

[@ytrichardsenior]

Good to see GG mentioned on a Tommy Emmanuel discussion :)

[@ytrichardsenior]

Good to see GG mentioned on a Tommy Emmanuel discussion :)

[@blainesenior9981]

Tony Bennett also quoted that.

[@johnlenin1033]

So basically what GG said wasn't original though

[@mrdyvig]

Haha as I was playing a Chet Atkins lick as an exercise, Tommy Emmanuel says he takes influence from Chet Aktins. He's one of my favorite guitar players aswell.

[@interstategar]

Tommy is a great teacher, and thank you for taking the time to teach us all...

[@eddiel1538]

It is great watching maestro at work, looks so easy 😉, thank you Mr Emmanuel

[@bensonharold3207]

Wow tommy you rock give goosebumps 👏you make me to pick up my 🎸thanks lovely work

[@souffled]

You are the all time great guitar maestro. You go one step further and actually share your legacy.

[@MsMusicman56]

Good luck! Great inspiration. Just need to practice, practice and practice. A true living legend.

[@guillermobarrios7272]

Tommy genio!! Que gran estilo de tocar la guitarra acústica!! Gracias por inspirar!

[@markmartin4522]

You are the finest folks in the world for bringing this lesson to us. Sounds like a Chet Atkins, Cascade lick? Thanks so very much

[@cthulhuhoops7538]

I love the CGP at the 12th fret. Certified indeed.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Really cool, already been doin the first one via slash , some Guns N’ Roses song, the other 2 I’ll definitely have fun trying Thank ya

[@wyzzyx1080]

What possible reason could 65 people have had to dislike this video? Solid gold. Can’t wait to re-watch it with a guitar in my hands.

[@Zach-ls1if]

Cuz there’s no playback speed under .25

[@impossiblemusicforce]

Great! Thanks for support!

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

Thank-you Tommy from guitar players everywhere, for 'passing on' these foundational licks made famous by your mentor, Chet Atkins, and the great Jerry Reed. I was struck during the first part of your first lick, where you stressed anchoring the root note; in this case, the index finger fretting middle C. It was like a light bulb going on suddenly in my head! After thinking about it, it made so much sense to me to anchor the root note (or barre) and then play whichever lick you want with the middle, ring and pinky fingers and occassionally the thumb. It eliminates jumping back and forth to fret the anchor note and whatever intevals the player adds to make a lick harmonious or dissonant and enjoyable to play and listen to. I'd also say that anchoring technique might be somewhat challenging for smaller players, mostly smaller women and kids whose fingers may never be as long as yours or mine. Their playing could improve in a lot of ways bylaying smaller-bodied guitars like Palors and OOOs that have shorter scale lengths and usually narrower nut widths.

[@Datanditto]

Tommys lessons always great.

[@WhatsleftofTom]

Planet sized talent, but he's retained his humility. One of the all time greats, no question

[@PixelCultureMedia]

5:59 Waltzing matil...wah wah bla bla... The way he mumbled it out killed me haha lol.

[@stevenburton7922]

Amazing...thanks Tommy!

[@richardphillipssinger3970]

Too good mate. Truly admire you

[@TheKirk1989]

THE LORD OF GUITAR PLAYING!

[@deannahernandez3231]

Awesome!!!

[@_JellyDonut_]

After all Emmanuel does mean "God with us" :) Just needs to be a lower case g since (believe it or not) he's a mortal

[@masterofbears1948]

Lord of the strings... haha get it?

[@fenelonjazz9703]

muy ,muy ,muy bueno ...gracias maestro, now to work it...buf ¡¡

[@StayHomeEatGreat]

Love this. I got the first one. The next two won't be a problem either.

[@752brickie]

Got to see Tommy in State College PA a few years back. Was about 20' away !! What a show !!! The opening act could not make it so he did a double show for us !!! WOW !!!!!! My friends asked me if I picked up any tricks from him being that close??? I told them "No way he was going too fast "!!! What a wonderful man a so so humble !

[@FIshfood500]

Do you have anything relevant to say about this guitar lesson?

[@752brickie]

@@FIshfood500Yes it is great - from the master himself!

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

I am always amazed at the generosity of Chet and of Tommy. True greats! Sadly, while I was on my way, (so to speak) I’ve developed a problem in my left wrist. I’ve gone to three docs and all they did was give me injections . They worked for 5 months. And now, I’m right back in pain and I can’t get any more injections . . Don’t know what to do . Anyone know a GREAT hand doctor?

[@user-vh6lg1ey8l]

Hi Tommy, I'm your great fan. I like all your videos but this one especially, because many licks I've already know but I would like to see all yours famous licks.

[@TheJazz61]

Love your videos !

[@surfingtexas]

What a legend!

[@dobby240]

Beautiful. All of it.

[@BibleStorm]

that "petty theft" line had me cracking up. That's true, and so is everything you said after

[@BibleStorm]

On lick 2: I believe chet stole that lick from jerry reed as well. I thought you were going to say you stole it from him.

[@unitedintraditions]

It's not stealing... it's allowing a tradtional style to live and not die ❤

[@roar1964]

Thank you Tommy.

[@KillerWh4le]

living legend

[@leninha-carioca]

Hi. Great lesson. Is there any licks to play those licks in another chord than C and G?

In the hip hop scene you steal something and instant beef, but amongst musicians it’s encouraged I love it

[@rebuiltbyusn]

Thank you for the lesson. I do have a question about something on your guitar neck inlay. What is the C.G.P. on fret 12?

[@charlesjohnson-cj1or]

Certified Guitar Player.

[@rebuiltbyusn]

@@charlesjohnson-cj1or I've never heard of that. I will have to look into it. Thank you

[@spinblackcircles]

@@rebuiltbyusn it’s a thing Chet Atkins came up with and called himself and so he passed it down to like 5-6 other players and then Tommy towards the end of his life. Tommy uses it on his guitar and his merch, like a doctor does with their degree haha. Tommy Emmanuel, CGP

[@rebuiltbyusn]

@@spinblackcircles I think you responded to this a long time ago. So I do know what CGP is. Thank you again for the explanation.

[@FIshfood500]

“Here’s a lot of things I can do on guitar that you’ll never be able to. Good luck”

[@smoovesaint]

How can the first lick in key of C have the A# on g string ?

[@1111isy]

smoovesaint that’s called chromatic scale

[@BartCastellitto]

I am starting to learn on to finger pick. Should I use a thumb pick like Tommy?

[@heathkish6901]

It doesn’t hurt to get comfortable using a thumb pick, so that way it’s not too foreign to you if you’re playing something that needs clear bass notes.

[@Dman85612]

Yes...and Tommy also uses the thumb pick like a flat pick as did Chet ..
