Tears In Heaven | Collaborations | Tommy Emmanuel & Igor Presnyakov

[@farnorthpicker56]

Hard to believe Clapton could turn such a tragic event in his life into one of the most beautiful songs ever written. What a beautiful tribute to his son!

[@segunmola1]

True... it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I love this song I play it just a little different than Clapton. Cause the chords he uses are unfamiliar too me. But what beautifull song. Not just the melody but the words as well. I'm sure they will meet again in heaven.

[@karelhoogendoorn]

A lot of beautiful songs are created from deep grieve. Loss, grieve and pain give rise to the most transforming pieces of art and help other people to heal their pain. True artists are healers without presenting themselves as healers. Don't take this reaction as me being smart... just adding to the love!

[@mankjava3716]

It's a real master piece!

So beautiful,I'm 53 wife passed away 4 years ago I try to play guitar when she passed I quit playing but recently my 3year old grandson he loves guitar drags one around shows great potential anyway because of him I picked the guitar back up wish I could see you in person that probably won't ever happen but I think your a king on the guitar.hello from Washington north Carolina

[@shawnndixon5254]

sorry about your loss, keep your hopes up man He's going to be in Asheville, NC December 12th 2024 Thu 800PM at the The Orange Peel if you're interested, might have to get a hotel but its easier than going to see him in Australia. He hit the west coast a while back and i saw him in buffalo NY before i even knew who he was it changed my life.

At the very end right when he finished he looked down and looked like he was on the verge of tears. So much respect for Clapton and his child. I teared up a little bit seeing that

[@conorsheehan9929]

This a truly beautiful collaboration between two unique artists . Tommy plays the lead part with all sensitivity the song deserves . He manages to totally capture the tragic death of Clapton’s child Conor with such genuine heartfelt playing .

Igor's right hand is insane, and Tommy's melody is heavenly. What an amazing par. They deeeeeefinitely should do more stuff together.

[@jimmyblues59m76]

Eric Clapton wrote this inspiring song with his very soul. His sense of loss regarding his four year old son, Connor, and the tremendous and enduring love Eric still has for Connor is profound. I think "Tears In Heaven" is the most beautiful song that Eric has ever written and one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And Tommy and Igor have created a wonderful rendition of Tears In Heaven for a new generation.

[@dmax1186]

Love how he can’t help but sing along. Singing right along with him

Well thats me sawing the neck of my guitar after watching that. Amazing guys simply stunning. I think Igor and tommy's style really complimented each other. You guys should tour together it would be amazing.not sure how busy you guys are at the moment but people would love that.. I know i would. THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK TOMMY AND IGOR SHOULD TOUR ?!!

[@BelloBudo007]

Ha!!! My thoughts exactly. I've listened to both Tommy & Phil play live around Coffs Harbour (NSW North Coast of Australia) & while it was nice at the time, my guitar ended-up back in the case & under the bed, such was the effect it had on me. BTW I'm liking Igor's guitar style too. Thanks gents.

I saw Tommy with Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo back in June. They were awe inspiring, even better than when Tommy first came here last year on his own. I'd love to see him and Igor come to town and do a couple of sets. :)

[@nreRagnaros]

Well Igor is obviously not even close to the level of Tommy Emmanuel. TE is probably the best guitarist this world has seen so far. Igor does make nice covers, but is not on the top level like TE, Andy McKee, even Django Reinhardt or Chet Atkins.

[@jodit9932]

+Donovan Deans love your point of view brother. Yes its not about comparison. But we're just trying to talk about skill here, just so ppl know. Igor is more famouse and have more subs coz he covers popular songs that this generation likes. And plus he's great. But my bro, TE is god. He plays rare music and he's on another level mate.

[@paultiplea]

[@Grendal54]

Igor is more famous? Maybe to the general public, but not to guitar players. I can't believe anyone would hit an unlike button. They are great players. Better than any of the shredders on the top 10 lists. Any guitarist can get faster and throw out a bunch of meaningless notes. These guys make every note part of a whole story.
