[@jamesmckillip7360]

"some'thin like that" .... indeed!

[@elainemeeker664]

One of my favorites ❤ Tommy, you played this so perfectly ❤ Thank You

[@markkubiak8296]

Proof that Tommy is a master is right here! Beautiful rendition of a classic. Thanks for this video.

[@martinbaggott1052]

The most beautifully nuanced playing👍love this guy.

[@joe-sydney-au]

Time for a duo between Tommy and George (Benson) 😍

[@TheChurchStudio]

Goodness yes! That would be an unbelievable arrangement!!

[@clearasil11]

His advice, "Bit by bit, slow, it takes time", got me to learn 9 of his songs over the course of this year. And in the 15 years of playing, I think this year taught me twice compared to what I'd learned before. The most beautiful thing about all of his songs is: yes, you can do it, if you learn it bar by bar, over time you will nail it.

[@hanselfisiihoi6293]

Yes, that's the beauty of Tommy. You can learn to play his songs.

[@christhorpec]

I have loved This song for so long and discovering that Tommy also loves it just reinforces

[@TheChurchStudio]

It's beautiful to see how much love and respect and love artists have for each other when they've been touched by Leon! Yet another way his legacy carries on.

[@bencalebcgp]

I'm crying 😭 watching this

[@michaeldinunzio3002]

I'm so glad Tommy came to Tulsa. I hope we'll be seeing him again soon.

[@nancyl3843]

A master; a virtuoso. Thank you Tommy. God bless you!

[@chantalvigneau3426]

That's Tommy!!! Made my day! 💙💙💙

[@temycarter6240]

Gosh, even looking at this chord sequence is a pure pleasure. I wish we heard the full version someday

[@pattyneff4624]

🫶Oh yes, 🙌my, my, that was really truly delightful to be on the fly😄

[@mrssriplo1]

Just incredible. Not the first time I've seen him come up with an arrangement on the spot but it's always a treat that's for sure.

[@christopherandrews6865]

JUST MAKING THIS STUFF UP! WHAT A LEGEND

[@richardrudoff6866]

Just simply Beautiful .

[@danheinrichs3591]

Genius!!!!

[@Grandpa_Moses]

"I've never played this before, I'm just making stuff up" humble master

[@samscott54]

Wow. Great changes -as Tommy can hear -amazing

[@GLD-hopeful]

Fantastic!

[@NuTonesForever]

Oh my word. Mind blowing.

[@MikeDavid_Davideos]

I hope Tommy Emmanuel would revisit this wonderful song and include it in his repertoire

[@HighscoreCreative]

Mastery.

[@ipo55mdw]

Beautiful! Thank you

[@Sejoevia]

When I first heard The Mystery that Tommy wrote, it reminded me of this . They both evoke the same feeling. Maybe a good pairing in your show.

[@serogka1]

good point actually. I can even hear it

[@charlieboy1999]

This supertalented man is specially created for all mankind by the big Creator

[@TracyKimMusic]

He did a pretty good job at making it up!

[@briancrawford4988]

Impromptu genius

[@Keep-on-picking]

Unbelievable talent to find the right codes only by melody in his mind. I’m trying to practice the tune from the sore book with codes.

[@TheChurchStudio]

Tommy's ear is incredible!!

[@mrmockatoo6786]

Something like that...haha..." Damn you Tommy...that's another guitar I've turned into a cricket bat. Loved Leon's writing - love Tommy's artistry.

[@thomasr22272]

Him "just making stuff up" is 1000x better than me practicing the same song for weeks 😂

[@TheChurchStudio]

Literally same for practically every human on the planet! He's amazing!!

[@ChefDuane]

TE riffs on "Masquerade" and its genius.

[@davidthayer6969]

you are the cat's meow there mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewhavass6959]

Tommy learn that song 100 % , put your magic touch on it and put it in your repertoire. It'll be great . Maybe leave the singing out though ( lol ) Best of luck to you Tommy , you're awesome !

[@benjoshd3386]

He said he never learn the song, maybe he just heard it a lot of times. He didn't try to arrange it. Like what he said, he just making the stuff out that's when your master using ur senses and let your brain figure out what's going on.

[@benjoshd3386]

The crazy thing about Tommy is he can say something about the song through his playing even probably without knowing it and not making any single mistake even if he try lol

[@newiberian]

"....somethin' like that ..." ....yeah, right .....
