What a Wonderful World | Tommy Emmanuel

Here’s Tommy Emmanuel doing a one-take/off-the-cuff performance of the Louis Armstrong classic, “What a Wonderful World.” Tommy was showing his videographers his classic Gibson Kalamazoo guitar, and he started performing this song. Luckily, they captured it on film. “What a Wonderful World” was orginally written by George Douglas and George David Weiss.
This was filmed and edited by Joshua Britt & Neilson Hubbard for Neighborhoods Apart.

What a wonderful guitar player and human being

[@georgeleicht9917]

Been playing 60 years...35 on various stages professionally ...won numerous awards...but this guy plays stuff I havent even dreamed of yet...met him at a "meet and greet" at one of his concerts and have taken his guitar workshop when he was in town...very nice, humble and talented man....IMHO hes the greatest in the US....thanks for the music Tommy...

[@Wandafulofit]

Greatest in the US? He's an Aussie mate

[@scottcrandall6226]

He's a u.s citizen now

[@Wandafulofit]

He's still an Aussie born and bred@@scottcrandall6226

[@robertlaguirremusic7381]

Doing some of the melody on its own with no base notes was masterful. It’s such a beautiful melody as it is. It made it more vulnerable and pure. Love how you played this from the heart ❤️ ❤ thank you brother

[@stevemurray2737]

Greatest Living Guitar Player. Incredible Performer too!

[@briangill4000]

Thank you Tommy. Listening at 500am as I get ready for work. What a great way to start the day!!

[@jonturner3952]

Same

[@fieldingmellish6856]

He always finds the notes that bring out emotions. What a Wonderful … musician and composer

[@artswri]

So much feeling and love, backed by (but not clouded by) spectacular technique and musicality. So healing! Thank you!!!

[@natestein5988]

Among other things, I love how he started singing the B section of the song. It seemed like a fitting addition to a gorgeous arrangement. Thank you so much for sharing this

[@NotVeryOldMan]

Браво Маэстро!!! Есть в Вашей игре философия жизни! Всем Мира!

[@justicegusting2476]

The World is a much better place with you in it, Tommy.

[@joelikesguitar2166]

What we just witnessed is the BEST guitar player living and otherwise. And one hell of a NICE guy!!! That performance was beautifully crafted and played to perfection. BRAVO as always Tommy!!! And when you think it couldn’t get any better he sings a few lyrics at the right time. Amazing!!! The funny thing is the people who watch these videos and go to his concerts (seen him five times) are all guitar players. And a lot of the guitar players are good. But when you look around the room and Tommy‘s playing everyone is just shaking their head in disbelief and smiling at the performance. Everybody feels better about themselves after seeing Tommy and we are lucky to have him at this moment in time!!! Enjoy the holidays Tommy and Happy New Year!!!

[@fede7449]

Tommy's music is a hug to the soul

[@TheFratHouse69]

God himself blessed us with beautiful things in this world to enjoy like the blue sky, the ocean, and Tommy Emmanuel. I mean this from the bottom of my heart 🙏

[@davidn3843]

He is gifted, from God Himself. I agree completely. 😉👍 What a blessing to hear such a talent, as Tommy. Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia. 🌏 🙄☝️

[@dennisbowers515]

I hope he's in heaven when I get there.

[@davidn3843]

@@dennisbowers515 Well my understanding is that Tommy has been a professing Christian for decades, Dennis. So, of course if he believes the message of the Gospel of God's Grace and Love, found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, that Jesus died for our sins and was buried and on the third day rose again according to the scriptures, then Tommy will be in heaven! Grace is a wonderful and beautiful gift. I'm definitely looking forward to meeting Tommy there. As well as many others, which I'm sure believed on Jesus to be saved. I hope you have a very peaceful and blessed Christmas, Dennis. Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia. 🌏 🙄☝️

[@gregbrechelt2295]

Thanks Tommy have a very merry Christmas buddy and remembering your brother and my mate Phil RIP who would have loved this beautiful rendition of what a wonderful world❤️❤️

[@TheArtofGuitar]

That's a lot of reps, pain, and just plain time put into every one of those notes.

[@AllThingsMech]

It's a wonderful world indeed when we get to hear things like this. Merry Christmas, Tommy.

[@1993hermans]

Pls fix the title, so that people can find this performence when looking for the song! It now sais "word" instead of "world"

[@francescosirchia2595]

What a wonderful world when Tommy is playing….

There is such a special story with that Kalamazoo guitar.. I remember the story tommy told at a show years back..Paul would be so happy...🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@samdepaepe6534]

Hey Tommy! Love and admire your playing. Your concert was one of the best I've ever witnessed. But I guess you made a mistake in the title :). Check it out ;)

[@AidenAppletonMusic]

Beautiful version that really shines on the guitar.

[@dalegreenholt3015]

Listening to Tommy play, I can't help but compare this arangement with Willie Nelson and in my mind hear the two of them playing together. They both have the same work ethic too.

[@thomaskeithlutheir]

Couldn't sleep too well last night. When I came across this beautiful guitar playing it helped clear my head. What a wonderful world...thank you Tommy.🎶🎶

Старенький уже, но ему это не мешает бить прямо в сердце.. Великолепный Томми❤

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

Back in 2005, my english teacher in school talk to the class about you, saying that her husband was a big fan of you, she was talking about different ways of speaking english in different places like Australia or the US. Only about 6 or 7 years later maybe, I started listening to your music, you've been my hero for almost 15 years now. Fellow guitar player from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Best regards, mate.

[@blow-by-blow-trumpet]

What a wonderful world with Tommy Emmanuel in it. Long may it continue.

[@johnlind5819]

Wow, I remember seeing a video of Tommy playing this live and thinking how special and unique this approach is. You can truly hear the emotions of the song in each note (and when he softly sings behind his instrument). This is so very subtle and quite complex at the same time, which is the genius of the arrangement. It exposes the musician and IMHO takes courage to perform this way. Thanks so much, John Gig Harbor, WA

[@theguitarteacher]

Please tell me that tape is just for the grip and you didn't hurt your thumb! Awesome rendition for a classic. ❤🔥🔥🤟

[@Gitarapiotr]

What a wonderful playing! As usual :)

[@davidmclendon9158]

It’s a wonderful world because you’re in it! Merry Christmas!

[@Wildlonesome77]

While certainly there are guitar greats, not many play with such heart,and soul. Tommy exudes love through his music.

[@dielaughing73]

Yet he can also wring a guitar's neck until it begs for mercy when he gets going..

[@rdctd8690]

Absolutely beautiful. What a stunning guitar. Thanks for the endless smiles, Tommy!

[@Rod_Daigle]

Tommy playing WWW on a 1940's Kalamazoo! And I think to myself - wow the humanity of it all.

[@dropclutch1]

This brought me to tears. The humanity in it, with the little imperfections and finger noise and him singing outloud what was in his head for just the one part spontaneously makes it impossible to replicate. AI can't do this. I WILL make it the next time you are in upstate NY!

Loved the blues bend, tone was amazing from a cool looking guitar. Reminds me of a 50’s Gibson parlor guitar I played. Like you could get lost for days in creating licks and storyline so expressive, Bravo

[@davidn3843]

❤Louis would be proud, Tommy. I chose this song for my mother's funeral. I always think of her when I hear it. Inspired arrangement. 🎶 Thanks, mate. Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia. 🌏 🙄☝️
