Tommy Emmanuel - Michelle

[@cmotdibbler8105]

You will struggle to find anything as magical as this in the entire history of the instrument. It's mindblowing

[@chiptrimble]

Is there ANYONE who cascades harmonics anywhere near as pristine as Tommy Emmanuel? God With Us indeed..., gifting Tommy as He clearly has....!

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

Words cannot express the stunning beauty of this performance. Thank God for Tommy Emmanuel.

[@grayling0865]

I am so happy that there are humans like Tommy

[@donaldpendergrass2604]

insane musicality.probably among the best who ever lived.

[@donpendergrass1359]

Tommy is beyond.Regarding other comments about "ostentatious" yes he is showman using all the tricks in the book and to good effect;he's a performer who happens to be among the world's best musicians and a great entertainer.He wants and deserves the attention.The harmonics are astonishing and beautiful.

[@damienelkins9224]

Those who know his history, of his time touring the outback as part of a travelling show, would fully appreciate the showmanship that he brings to his performances.

[@ingarclausen1611]

My ears and brain reiceive this Beatles song as one of the most BEAUTIFUL six string lyric performances ever. I am an old Beatles fan and listening to Tommy's enhancing this ingenious melody to the very utmost of excellence makes me glad every time I feel the addiction to return to this beautiful guitar playing.

[@OMGWUNSIU]

Uhhh... what he said!

[@fredericmoresmau4303]

do you want my honest guess? She doesn't give a fuck about me :) that's why I am invited to starve at home for half a decade and not get anything :)

[@myownchannel247]

I would love to see Paul McCartney's reaction to this

[@johnlay3040]

He'll drop dead.

[@DrRick-dq4bb]

There simply are no words that do Mr. Emmanuel justice. This is art. Simply beautiful.

[@phillipallen3468]

My god I wept. I just listened to about a dozen other guitarists play this piece (or try to). Then I found this, Emmanuel's version. What a master. He makes this song sound as though it was flowing straight from heaven on the wings of angels. Thank you, Tommy. You are one of the few golden reasons the human race may indeed be redeemed in the end.

[@SergioBonfiglio]

Tommy is a constant source of inspiration, not for his technical talent, but because his tunes amaze people. He has a great gift, he can let out his feelings playing the guitar. He can compose a song in just minutes, because he plays as easily as we talk in our main language. Don't be scared and look under the crust, there's a whole new world of music and magic

[@Deftoneslover-p6q]

Hi

[@philipatoz]

Just love the way he plays parts of the melody with harmonics and then seamlessly blends them into chordal bits within the same structure.

[@ryryspoon1]

This should have 5 million views at least! Beautiful. I love the song Michelle so much. Emaculate melody

[@patbrennan6572]

there are two leagues when it comes to guitar greatness, everybody elses and mr emmanuels, tommy is by himself in his league and he will remain alone until someone comes from another planet.

[@patrickkelly7085]

Look around KZbin there are guitarists who I would not say were better but they play acoustic guitar as well as Tommy and that makes me happy.

[@rafaelb1026]

This is amazing Tommy isn't a guitarist he is a force of nature he treats the guitar as fluid as rain and as intense as a blaze of sun , and uses it in ways I've never seen anyone else use

[@wahtahaya]

Absolutely the MOST AMAZING guitarist who has EVER lived!

[@4runner39]

I am mesmorized by this guy's playing ! I keep watching one video after another & can't stop

[@patbrennan6572]

4runner , mesmorized is a good adjective, thank you for sharing that ole chap.

[@zaratehenry]

You mean mesmerised

[@zaratehenry]

Mesmerized

[@akanecortich8197]

arguably the best that ever was/is brilliant guitarist, brilliant musician, and the nicest guy you could ever wish to meet.

[@jimoncken6936]

Truly the ultimate master!

[@lupcokotevski3668]

Tommy and his brother Phil were both pretty much child prodigy's and have been performing since they were little kids. They have been famous in their home country of Australia since the 1970's. It took the rest of the world a bit longer to discover Tommy. He has generally been regarded as the world's best acoustic guitarist for many years now.

[@jfi877]

Maîtrise parfaite de l'instrument, alliée à la sensibilité de l'artiste, c'est de l'Art avec un A majuscule. Merci Monsieur Emmanuel

[@richardfolkman]

Turned my head and I heard a harp playing. Then we saw Tommy E. on the prowl. Woh! No fancy picks or guitars and he still gets the job done!. Thanks very much. From Texas.

[@TTexas2]

Simply fantastic Tommy has done it again! Something new discovered in his guitar and he shared it with all of us. Thank you for posting this great masterpiece.

[@AnEcumenicalMatter]

We have been graced by sheer musical brilliance

[@TDo280199]

That clarity tho, out of this world

[@cathydew]

The best living guitarist in the world today IMHO. Not another like him. His love for and connection with the instrument (and the songs) take him--and the listener--to another world entirely.

[@notbraindead7298]

You couldn’t be more right!! I’ve been awestruck and stunned by Tommy’s talent for fifty years.

[@csnelling4]

The harmonic playing WOW !!! fantastic Tommy 👏👏👏👏❤️

[@cydaogas]

amazing talent man

[@stage1greg]

as much an innovator as anyone before. thank you tommy.

[@gordoneakes5012]

This is absolutely jaw dropping excellence. I doubt there is anyone else who could play that extremely difficult song that perfectly. It’s hard to believe that there are so many dislikes on this recording. To me it’s the most impressive thing I’ve seen him do and I’m a huge fan.

[@hudsongeovane3281]

omg... i have no words to describe that

[@msa1840]

My GOOOOD! What was that? I've never heard something like this. Perfection in its most pure form

[@thestump5272]

Flawless playing, fantastic arrangement.

[@omar44269]

Very rare to do better than the Beatles, but this version success that. Thanks a lot.

[@nhb06]

Tommy never ceases to amaze! Incredibly beautiful and creative. Long live TE!

[@rocketpost1]

Absolutely beautiful. Tommy has such a passion for music and it certainly shines in his playing. An unusual version of Michelle surely but snatches of the melody are detectable and I love the way he plays part of the melody just using harmonics. The harp-like sound is just gorgeous. I don't think there's anything Tommy couldn't play on the guitar and he just gets better and better.

[@davidogan]

one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. thanks tommy

[@seanr521]

Such a master. Really incredible talent. Was waiting for him to go from harmonics to blast into it. But i cant complain, cause he the man 🙂 awesome.

[@JoeKorte]

I ever loved this song and Tommy's version is amazing. I love the fact about artists like him that he don't just is skilled but also plays with this much soul!

[@garyhughes8062]

Im 60 now. Started fingerstyle guitar in '84. I just don't know how Tommy does it. Flabbergasted!

[@wildcat69usatexas]

Absolutely Beautiful :)

[@masebomasa5112]

C'est un monument, un véritable trésor..

[@ininourden7729]

un vrai génie je m'en lasse pas

[@quedorf]

Recently saw Tommy in concert, and I am willing to say that it was the most amazing and fascinating concert I have seen. The man can make more wonderful music with one instrument than many other entire bands can. Genius is an overused word, but definitely fits in this case.

[@JohnOrrTheArsonist]

It's like listening to a haarp being played to the style of a guitar. So much love and respect for Tommy E. ❤️

[@lowrider950]

tommy is one of the best guitar players in the world my son turned me on to him ,,i was amazed ,and still am ..brilliant tommy !!

[@fredericmoresmau4303]

would probably not even hop 6m anymore if I wanted to

[@llibmahargtube]

Really impressed with Tommy's mastery of harmonics on this piece. Very difficult to make them sound so clear. I met Tommy at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon, on July 24, 2009.

[@chefmarkable]

Simply AMAZING! Just when I thought (silly me) that Tommy Emmanuel couldn't top the very last performance I heard, I again am a serendipitous witness to his unfathomable talent and ever continuing display of unbridled love of music and his affection for his "wooden six-stringed friend"! Thanks for posting pure joy!

[@MatteoCherchiAcoustic]

Impressing. Very seldom the highest technical level serves so well artistic expression. I've never seen anything like this

[@lungbernd]

[@S255fjrbr]

0:33 - 0:40 ans 3:24-3:36 those are the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard

[@dco_]

That playing is so far off the original arrangement he has come very close to "priceless" piece of art in his arrangement. Unbelievable, he constantly inspires me in my playing.

[@2you24tube4]

I see him every chance I get. He is this generations Chet. There is no one on earth (if you think you can - then post) that can bring this level of guitar to the height of TE. This piece in particular takes the harmonics to a level that is unprecedented. Again, bring it if you disagree. But don't waste anybody's time with B/S. My ONLY hope is he tours somewhere in the NC/SC coastal area so I can take my day and uncle (both 80s+) to see him in person. I've bought the DVDs, we've watched the TV specials, but until you actually see TE, you don't understand. God Bless. "rock on" r
