Well said 👏🏻👏🏻 a really beautiful version. Great video too. Tommy is the most sensitive player! I’m trying to cover him ok my channel. I don’t know why I bother! 😂😂

On the seventh day God thought about creating Tommy Emmanuel. Thank you God!

I still don't understand people who dislike good music, good technique, good performance?? Like I understand it might not be something you listen to or it's just not your style but how can you be so ignorant that you are unable to see the effort?

And I don't understand people who whine about a problem as non-existent as this one. Why focus on 22 dislikes (some of which might have been missclicks/bugs etc) that are absolutely non significant compared to almost 6000 (already and will be many more) likes which shows that virtually almost everyone liked it? Also, you cannot have everyone like something/like you and sooner you realise it and do your thing you are gonna be better off.

I know, right? He is one of the reasons I started playing in the first place. Since then I have learned two of his songs in 14 years. His stuff is hard to play.

I wonder what John’s reaction would be if he could see this. Absolutely stunning. I’ve been a fan of Tommy for about 15 years and have met him once. Worked at a 5 star hotel in Nashville and several places in Hollywood meeting many famous people, Tommy was the only one that had me star struck. All I could tell him is “you’re my hero” and he said with a laugh “I’ll play my best for you” never will forget that moment

I listened to your performance since 1996 with my wife . I bought your original album in cassette tape format and play it on our honeymoon. God bless you . Tommy Emmanuel. The saint of guitar.

Just one word inspirational

When Tommy plays, the world does live as one.

Some people play music. Tommy Emmanuel IS music. Beautiful version.

My stepdad just died this past week. He always loved your music and now I see why. We'll be saying our final goodbyes to him this Friday and I'll be thinking of this song during the ceremony.

I just feel like crying. Covering such a song with a guitar, while not making anyone miss the timeless original, means being gifted by God. John Lennon is blessing you from high above the skyes. Thank you for letting your music reaching our hearts.

Thank you for still imagining Tommy. I'm sure John would really enjoy your version of this song. What a wonderful world this would be if we could all just get along together, and I believe with a little imagination we could.

John Lennon is smiling from heaven saying, did I write that music? Wow, I'm happy. Thanks for sharing Tommy.

Lennon’s not in heaven and he’s singing about it on the song, unless he got saved. Jacob Prasch gave him the chronicles of Narnia two weeks before he got shot. you have to have Jesus as your Lord and Savior to go to heaven. For Him to be your Lord you have to do what he says to do & read the Bible. Bible does not contradicted by 40 writers proving both, that God wrote the Bible and that man is without excuse on judgment.

I can’t Imagine it being played on guitar more elegantly.✅👍

Just imagine what might be possible if we taught our children how to love the beauty and simplicity of creating music, solving problems and doing it all again from another perspective. Plato was observed that all children need is to learn music, mathematics and philosophy. When we do, we all discover love and contentment. Thank you Tommy for exemplifying all of that. Exquisite as ever x

Jawdropping clarity, especially with the harmonics. I'll never be this good but I thank God that someone is!

Tommy I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you live in Leicester at the guildhall in around 2005. Most inspiring!

To me Image is one of the greatest songs ever written and this rendition is simply awesome

Dear Tommy, I ran across a KZread video of you playing "Classical Gas" and was blown away! Where have you been my whole life? Then I had the good fortune to see you a few Christmas' ago in Atlanta. It was one of the highlights of that year! Thank you for sharing your music and soul with us; you and your musical interpretations are magical.

Tommy is the GOAT.

LEGEND, NO DOUBT.

Fabulous! Such a sense of peace from Tom's guitar playing an all time great song! Love it!

How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace played by Emmanuel are beautiful songs that have special meaning to me. To me, he is truly one of the greatest guitarists of all time. And when I saw a video of him signing autographs and guitars, he took time to sit down with a fan and play music with him. That showed me this man has kindness, class and appreciates his fans.

I was fortunate enough to attend his NYC show Sat 10-2-2021- ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tommy always takes music to a level that we can only dream about :)

What a wonderful guitar player. Always smiling. It´s a great pleasure to see and hear Tommy.

Absolutely beautiful, thanks Tommy. God bless

This man never ceases to amaze me.

Oh Tommy your version is so absolute tasteful and warm. Have no words. LOVE it. Please stay safe my friend! Greetings and all the best from Hamburg - yours, Jimmy

Best version I've ever heard! And those harmonics... genius!

Amazing guitarist!!! My all time favorite musician!!

LOVE this! Keep em rocking out Mr. Tommy!

Wonderful to hear such a masterful/original rendition of 'Imagine'.:!!

Ahhh....I was just thinking about your arrangement of imagine whilst I was jogging, magic!

it's always good to listen to your play. God bless you, Tommy.

Absolutely beautiful, amazing Thanks, Tommy

What a SONG. And what a MASTER!!! And what happens? A wonderful MASTERPIECE 🎸🤯🥰🤩

That was just beautiful, Tommy! Thank you so much for sharing your talent! God bless!!

Do you ever think he forgets where he is? Like, for just one second. Music does this for me :)

Pure acoustic awesomeness!!

Tommy, so glad you are here to play music for us and show what true human potential for greatness looks like. Thank you.

He's the best. So freaking amazing to see him play. So good

This made me smile throughout the whole performance. Thank you Tommy!

Best of arrangement of any of his covers. Simply outstanding!

Enough to bring a tear to these crusty old eyes, beautiful, 🖖😌 Keep on trucking Tommy, you're very special talent & person 😊

I'd just discovered a legend guitar player this year 2020..

You are a true blessing, Tommy.

Can't help but love this beautiful playing, so special.

Those harmonics add magic to the composition and raise it to another level.

Wonderful, thank you Tommy Emmanuel... your artistry is astounding.

Absolute masterpiece 💯💯💯

This is beautifully done. Thanks Tommy! ❤✌

The most wonderful cover of this immortal and superb theme. A genius.

Like angels in Heaven. Music is limitless, I hope that this song goes up to Heaven too. Nice performance and even more, outstanding and unique style. Something rare on Earth.

Bravo Tommy! You have an unique feeling in all your interpretation and arrangements.

A wonderful arrangement of a truly iconic song; written by a musical genius and played by another. What a lovely tribute to John. Well done, Tommy!

You make John Lennon smiling in heaven Sir 😇

Tommy set the bar and we all need to continue giving our all in pursuit of reaching it...I don't believe anyone can lay claim to that yet.

Tommy your fluidity always astounds me. How you manage to play bass, rhythm and melody notes altogether so beautifully give me chills when I hear it played. Lennon's 80th birthday is what brought me here and I knew your tribute would be one of the most fitting. Thank you for these treasured minutes. You are an inspiration to many guitar players and I am one. Cheers

I never dreamed any guitar could be so amazingly played- I could listen nonstop and forever. Thank you Tommy Emanuel for sharing you great talent with the world!!!
