@Nils4ndersson You are absolutely right about him and about other celebrities like Tiger Woods -- people attribute his gift to having been God-given. Maybe. But I would highly recommend a book called "Talent is Overrated" by Geoff Colwin. In it He details the EXTRAORDINARY amounts of practice that the so-called geniuses put in to hone their craft. Among others he details the behind the scenes of Tiger Woods and Mozart. When you see Tommy Emmanuel you are just seeing the tip of an enormous iceberg.

Best guitarist in the world. Period.

I met Tommy outside Windsor Castle last October. I was too old fashioned to get a selfie with him but we shook hands and had a chat. I introduced him to my granddaughter as one of the worlds best guitarist's. Tommy said : ' Your granddad is dillusional '. Modest as ever but I don't think I was far wrong.

He reminds me of a chef that’s really quick a cutting onions and can carve melons into interesting shapes; unfortunately he takes some classic recipes and then adds to many other ingredients of his own into it thinking he’s making it more interesting but fails. He fails because he doesn’t understand what the original was about. Basically too clever for his own good and I have seen perform at quite a few guitar festivals; the first time I thought that’s clever but after that shine quickly wore off. His compositions are similarly fixed in that bracket ‘look how clever I can play’ but just like the best drum solos in the world it can only take you so far.

@@Insolation1 I would disagree. As would many others. Your comment couldn't be further from the truth and shows that you really don't know much about Tommy Emmanuel. That's ok. Not many people do who don't know much about playing the guitar. Your comment would hold a lot more water if your comment came from some sort of knowledge about TE or finger picking or if you knew even a little bit about his background.

This man is a legend. T. Emmanuel and Chet Atkins should be taught to kids, they sound like a band in one man.

This inspired me to give up playing guitar forever.

When someone can play the guitar so well and make it sound so tasty, you don't need a bass player, drummer, or vocals. The incredible thing is, it doesn't sound like its missing.

Just phenomenally good. I remember meeting Tommy at a guitar workshop then seeing him play a song called "initiation" which was about australian aboriginal roots and they always say that a good performance takes you out of yourself . I was there in the outback believe me , crazy as it sounds. It remains in my top five live favourite performances ever.

Yay. I was 20' away from Tommy at a folk festival in Colorado just 2 weeks ago. He was as good as I could hope for. I hadn't heard this Beatles montagè blend into Classical Gas before. Loved it!

Tommy IS The Best. How he can get so much beauty from a guitar. What does she have to say to you Tommy ?? ❤️

His dexterity on the instrument is quite spooky ... Too perfect

Playing lead and rhythm at the same time. Amazing.

Oh, my God, he plays on one guitar Beatles songs better than we had tried to play it on three guitars together many years ago... BRAVO MAESTRO!!!

The greatest guitar showman is Tommy no doubt ,Emmanuel means God is with him🤟

This Tommy guy is a living legend trust me.

In my opinion, THEE BEST GUITARIST EVER! Thank you, Mr. Emmanuel... 😉 💜 🍀 🎶 NEVER GETS OLD!
