Tommy Emmanuel - Beatles/Reinhardt Medley - Live 2012
Музыка
In August 2012 we were lucky enough to have Tommy Emmanuel perform here at the Australian Institute of Music (AIM). He also brought 2 very special guests Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo from New York.
Here Tommy and Frank perform a great medley including "Here, There and Everywhere", by the Beatles and Django Reinhardt's Nuages.

Emmanuel's unique style - he calls it simply "finger style" - is akin to playing a guitar the way a pianist plays a piano. While Tommy has many imitators, few approach his mastery. He even has his own annual guitar festivals, "Tommy Fest," in Newport News, Virginia, Louisville, KY and Dortmund, Germany.
Jazz legend Chet Atkins was one of the first people who inspired Emmanuel to pick up a guitar. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans, and is responsible for declaring Emmanuel a "Certified Guitar Player" - an honour shared by only two other people in the world (Jerry Reed and John Knowles). "I think he's probably the greatest finger-picker in the world today," Atkins said a few months prior to his death in 2001. "He's inventive, fearless and has a flawless sense of rhythm. You can't watch Tommy perform and not feel happy."
"I've spent my whole life from the age of 4 playing music and entertaining people. I never wanted to do anything else," says Emmanuel. "Playing the guitar is much more than a career for me. It's a passion ... my life. The best thing in the world is to make people happy and bring them together through my music. Because I'm touring so much these days, the whole world has become my home."
In his storied career, the Grammy-nominated Emmanuel has set sales records that have yet to be broken and performed alongside hundreds of other musical legends including Chet Atkins, EricClapton, Sir George Martin, Hank Marvin and Joe Walsh. Olivia Newton-John, Al Jarreau and Sheena Easton have also recorded songs written by Emmanuel.
The consummate musician was voted Rolling Stone (Australia) Magazine's "Most Popular Guitarist" for two consecutive years and has earned four Platinum and three Gold albums. When his album "Dare to be Different" went Platinum, it was the first instrumental album to do so in Australia in more than 25 years and has not been topped since its release.
In Australia, Emmanuel's music and life are legendary. He began playing guitar at age 4, learning to play by ear without any formal instruction. Emmanuel and his brother Phil were child prodigies, starting their professional career in the 1960s when Phil was just 7-years-old and Tommy a mere 4. The Emmanuel Quartet, The Midget Safaries and The Trailblazers (with siblings Chris on drums and Virginia on slide guitar) are now part of Australian musical history. Emmanuel toured the Outback with his family, playing for audiences across the vast continent. He and his siblings worked hard to create the family's sole income for several years.

Tommy brings an unabashed joy to playing guitar, whether solo, in a duet or combo. The mutual admiration between him and Frank is a joy to behold.
I've never seen a guitar master who so obviously loves what he does more than Tommy. There is pure joy in every note picked, every chord played. The man was born to play guitar. I never tire of watching him play.
Tommy and Frank are amazing. It's like they've played together all their lives they are so in sync. Love it. Not just here.
Here, There & Everywhere is one of the Beatles most beautiful songs and it was played with such feeling and respect. These are two guitarists who go together well.
Empathy and trust, pure joy. We do not talk any more about faster, higher. We talk about fun and humor, and the basis. Mature Technique without being selfish.
Beautiful arrangement. “Here, there and everywhere” might be the most underrated Beatles song
I never get tired of watching this video. These two guys are amazing on their own, but when they get together they create pure magic! They combine musical virtuosity with passion, sensitivity, humor and respect. It can't get much better than this!
Tommy is not just playing the guitar - he IS the guitar ! Absolutely amazing !!!!
Emmanuel brings such joy and brilliance to his playing. He makes me smile just to witness his love for his instrument and music.
The thing i love the most in those amazing musicians is how they get so much joy by playing music...
Sweet harmonies and superb skills by both. And as always, amazed at the melodic quality of McCartney's songs.
Two of the purest musicians on the planet. Frank and Tommy, IMHO, embody what it's all about.
Well, children, this put a smile on the old man's face...
Dear God: They share the rubato effortlessly, mutually, perfectly. That is beautiful playing, together.
We need more collaborations between these two magical musicians.
This type of treatment makes it clear what a great piece of music that old Lennon McCartney tune is. These are two of the planet's all time greats. Beautiful Nuages at the end.
This is food for the soul. I love it when Tommy plays ballads downtempo . Here There and Everywhere has a melody that is beyond sublime , and Tommy did it justice . Frank shined on the ode to Django . It surprised me when Tommy ,and Laurence Juber played together . I had no idea at the time that both were into Django, but they are. It’s those high notes with vibrato that are unmistakable. This was a joy to watch, and an even greater joy to hear .
I saw Frank, Vinnie and Tommy in Winnipeg a few years ago. An absolutely fantastic jaw dropping show!
Felt so warm
I’m really glad I watched that.
Two of my favorites. Great players!
Tommy and Frank put such Beauty to "Here There and Everywhere " !
Some artists just click together. Tommy has worked with a lot of different artists but i think the best shared performances i have ever listened to him perform have been with Frank Vignola and his friends. Awesome.
Pure Class from two of the great masters of guitar - effortless, humorous, beautifully played. In a world of manufactured music = god bless Tommy Emmanuel and all others like him.
Watching two of the best in the world right here.
I am in awe of Frank Vignola's Eastman guitar. It is like having all the good characteristics of a guitar in a single instrument.
My guitar teacher. A great guitarist in Niagara told me " you love to play some of the greatest musician/writers of our time. Practice scales and make the playing your own. Mr. Emmanuel, Poco, Al Demiola, Carlos, Mr. McLaughlin nail it. The planet & mankind are better for them all. Thanks folks
These two play very well together. Beautiful inspiring harmony.
these two playing Djangology with twin harmonies is out of this world!!!
A duet of utter perfection in every way, Anyone who could a thumbs down to this must be totally tone def !!
Just love the they both play together- beautiful piece of music.
Beauty is not just what the eye can behold but very much what the ear can hear. This is just plain simple listening beauty. Love it - you guys are Gods gift to His world of beauty.
I wish I could see them in concert. Billy Strings is another musician I saw play with Tommy. Makes me smile !!!!!
Gosh just sensational playing by the great Tommy and Frank. So beautifully played with so much feeling. Thank You.
It is such a joy to watch these two masters of their craft.
Mr Emmanuel you are a friend of mankind! Keep it coming our way!
Here there and everywhere was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard EVER! there I've said it.
It's a wonderful gift you both Tommy and Frank has presented us. Thank you very much.
Cette version de Nuages est une beauté à l'état pure. Une entente magistrale entre ces deux immenses musiciens. Django aurait été tellement fier !
All the great artists blend in with Tommy. There is no other way for them.
Невозможно словами выразить восторг от исполнения и техники игры! Маэстро!!!
Totally wonderful, such magic... Two incredible musicians at the top of their game....
Just...wow. I have no other words.
Would love a Tommy/George benson thing like this with George’s vocals...heaven
Frank is a true master, who deserve way more recognition.

Amen. An amazing talent and a real gentleman.
THEY ARE ALWAYS GREAT TOGETHER ...AND TOMMY IS ALSO GREAT PLAYING WITH MARTIN TAYLOR A GREAT PLAYER .....
Томми уже дедушка,но такой живчик с ужимками и гримасами,как волшебник дарит нам наслаждение прекрасной музыкой!
speechless, there is such a connection between them magical stuff
Every time I hear the first couple of chords to this I'm reminded of "Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean ....Higher than any bird ever flew...." 🙂
Just absolute magic from these two great players. Tommy always brings a smile to my face and his playing with Frank is just the perfect fit.
What happens when the heart can express exactly what it wants on an instrument owing to god-tier technical skill. Reducing the listener to absolute mush. Just wow.

Ireland loves you, Tommy × Frank also. Come back please
TOMMY EMMANUEL ? : 'est un "Grand...Grand GUITARISTE" et c'est vraiment un "guitariste". Il a une conception de la guitare auquelle j'adhère complètement. La "sonorité, le feeling, les phrases de son CHORUS" sont remarquables . Rien à dire !
Frank's guitar sounds amazing!. And he absolutely knows how to take the most out of it. Excellent player specially alongside with Tommy Emmanuel
wonderful playing, they are great together. great touch and feel for the music.
Frank's tone is phenomenal!
I saw Tommy and Frank on stage together last week. Truly amazing guitarists. Closest thing to a religious experience that I've ever had.

NOW THAT IS TRUE MUSICAL COMMUNICATION!!! And yes I'm YELLING IT OUT!!!
Some awesome guitar players, may they live for ever
I'm absolutely, most assured, beyond all doubt etc.,etc., that Django would approve.
ben, your sense of humor and calm disposition surpasses most.
Where have I been that only today do I find out how much had passed me by; and through sheer chance? Consummate mastery and feel.
Прелесть. Прелесть! Поставил было ролик фоном - и.... залип, не смог оторваться, всё прекрасно в исполнении, душа рвётся...
FANTASTICO... GRAZIE KZread...!
Удивительно красиво! Исполнители заслуживают бурные и продолжительные аплодисменты (местами переходящие в овации)!
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!!!
thank you
These guys have good chemistry.
Maestro you, Mr Tommy, sir. Good too, from Frank. And it's invariably true, that less is more; every great musical artist, like Donald Moen and Tommy here, have mentioned this.
Bloody 'ell that is sublime...
Absolute perfection...
Wunderschön!
Two craftsmen at work - feel, tone and timing are faultless.

I use to think I was a very good guitar player till I bought my computer. I found out that there is so dam many good ones with different styles AND you guys are in the top list .I love it cause I learn from you all.Nice sound enjoyed it.
The first of two times I saw Frank and Vinnie open for Tommy in SF, they were introduced as "two guys from the old country.....Brooklyn." They were great.
So beautiful. The guitars are amazingly in tune together on every recording.
i love the respect these guys have for each other it is fantastic
Good lord, too good.
Woww both TE & FV so excellent
Очень красиво, молодцы!
Those guys are amazing... true artists...
I saw them last night in Baton Rouge, LA. I have been to a lot of concerts over the years. But, I have never seen that much talent on the stage at one time.
