Two years ago, I took my sweetheart to Conway Arkansas to see Tommy Emmanuel at the Reynolds Auditorium. I was 62 and she 69. It was her first concert EVER in her life. As Tommy played, I slowly turned my eyes to see her reaction and tears were streaming down her cheeks. She was moved emotionally by what she was experiencing.

Gabby is a rare talent indeed. I love the way Tommy inspires and nurtures young talent. It’s truly a beautiful thing to watch.

It's really striking that both Tommy Emmanuel and Mark Knopfler are monster guitar players AND large-hearted, cheerful souls.

So nice to see Gabriella perform her magic with another great musician, great duet 👍🏻👌🏻

This makes me tear up a little....not because of the talent on this stage, but more because for Tommy, it's all about the music, not him, ever. He brings other players to the stage to give them their possible big break and to enjoy playing together with great audiences. Every time I've seen him he has been the most humble player and man.

Not only is a Tommy Emmanuel one of the greatest guitarists that ever lived, he also seems like a truly genuine, wonderful human being. The way he acknowledges Gabriella’s incredible talent and his clear joy for the music itself speak volumes about the man. Here is someone who, based on pure technical ability and mastery of his craft, could easily have an oversized ego but is instead humble and down-to-earth.

One of the best Covers of Classical Gas I've ever heard and to have the chance to play it with Tommy Emmanuel must be a super accomplishment.

She is incredible, gifted, and beautiful, Tommy must be in awe of this young guitarist, and wishes he was 19 again.

What makes Tommy so great is that he has a good heart- a good person.

Whoever was in the audience that had the foresight to take this video deserves a medal. One generation - Tommy E., who many would argue is the greatest guitarist that ever lived, introducing the next generation - Gabriella Q, so breathtakingly good it's ridiculous, and we get a video record of it that we can enjoy forever. And Tommy is just such a pure-hearted compassionate soul; you can see by every action he takes on stage just how happy he is for Gabriella, pointing at her, taking the attention away from himself so that people can experience just how amazing she is. He is at the absolute pinnacle of mastery of the instrument and he would have every right to have some ego about it but instead he's on that stage to present Gabriella and her magical playing to the word. Whoever took this video and uploaded it, thank you thank you thank you.

Tommy is truly one of the best to ever grab and axe and, say "Hey, let's do something fun..." then, proceed right to terrorizing a guitar neck... This girl is pretty good too... Love all her videos and, especially in each one where she takes her eyes off her guitar and, briefly looks into the camera... That's priceless...

She was opening guest for Andy McKee at Gothenburg Concert Hall six months after this concert. A few weeks later I went to a guitar shop in a small town near Gothenburg, where Gabriella participated in a "Find Your Fit Event" for Taylor. The idea is to give presumptive guitar buyers an opportunity to find a guitar that suits their playing style, guided buy a representative from Taylor. This was a late Thursday afternoon. Gabriella sat on a podium and played various Taylor models. Among other tunes she noodled around with a song that I did not first recognize. It was mostly fragments and nothing like a complete performance. The song was Ebon Coast by Andy McKee, you probably know it well. On Sunday at noon that very same week she uploaded her cover of Ebon Coast on her KZread channel. I had followed her development for a while and was familiar with her extremely fast progress, but this was over the top. Her version of this song is just brilliant. I have also listened to her playing it live later. Check it out in her channel, it was in November 2015.

Tommy is such a class act. And Gabriella is uniquely gifted

Gabriella can not be described - she´s simply wonderful. Thank You for those moments!

What a great performance. Gabriella. I love it !!! I really like the first song and jamming with Tommy sounds perfect !!

Look at Tommy Emmanuel's gesture , a true artist, Grammy awardee is bowing down to her.

Awesome duo. So much talent between them and they play off each other so well.
