I started playing the guitar c. 1964 when I was about 8. Unsurprisingly, the types of video I tend to watch a lot of on YT all have to do with guitar-related stuff. This is among the very best I've seen. Someone knowledgeable, with excellent advice, a clear explanation and presentation. Someone who can actually play really well and knows their stuff, for a change. Congratulations.

Guitar Pilgrim Muscles do not have memory, it’s the motor cortex of the brain, precentral gyrus. You entrain the part of the brain, proprioceptively, that controls a particular area to perform a fine motor function. The map of the body occupying the regions, with area size corresponding to the particular finesse that is required of motor movements needed, is called the homunculus.

I was trying to learn Skunk Baxter's lead to Realin' in the Years when I discovered just what you're talking about. I had to relearn it slowly. Great videos by the way!

Awesome video. Personally what I like the most about Tommy Emmanuel that so many others lack... Is the fact that he always has this HUGE SMILE on his face while playing. It makes it even way more fun to listen to him!

Tommy Emmanuel is an alien when he plays, but your cover of the same song was amazing as well.

He is a great virtuoso of the guitar, but you know, there is so much great music one can play and do justice to, without being Tommy Emmanuel. So why quit the guitar ?

Tommy Emmanuel is not human, I mean seriously, he is hands down the greatest acoustic guitar player of all time, his Colorado performance in 2006 is only one of the many examples of why he deserve spot N1 in acoustic world Also he's so much humble, he enjoy helping the others, and and give them his time, a signature of a true musician and someone who ignore others the second he smell some fame He one day help a young fan of him "Frano" to get spotlight by inviting and playing with him and even giving him the front line while backing up, no need to dig in to much to understand why people love him, a true legend and I am truly happy that you make a video about him because I think he's in my opinion so underrated among those who don't know him Thanks to this wonderful video Tom PS:if you got an Email by chance with a name similar to mine it's me 😁

What I love about tommy emmanuel is that even if you can't play at his speed or even do all his precussive stuff. He has so many great riffs and ideas that you can steal and practice at a slower pace and really make it sound amazing. So dont ever feel down! Tommy does the opposite for me, he makes me inspired! and in all his tutorials he says to practice slowly and build it up. He really wants others to succeed and he loves to teach people how to play his style and songs.

Given that you made one on Tommy Emmanuel, I was wondering if you could so a video on Chet Atkins! Mr. Guitar himself was quite an inspiration to Tommy and to all of us in so many ways! Awesome work as always

The single best bit of advice 95%of people ignore! Keep up the good work old boy

Guitar Pilgrim, you have a positive demeanour and are someone who most people would want to learn from. Thanks. A good adage for this lesson would be “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today”

Tommy is one of the greatest guitarists on the planet and a really nice guy as well I hear.

I had the privilege of seeing TE live in 1996 in Pattaya, Thailand at the first Thailand International Jazz Festival. I then attended his workshop in Bangkok, my home at time. His guitar still had all of its finish...

I saw Tommy E live in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia in the 90s and he was amazing. He played an original of his called Initiation that is one of the most incredible things I have seen. The way he used his guitar to make all the sounds in that song was/is amazing. See if you can find it on KZread and have a listen.

You are really a great guitar teacher and musician too! Well done video as always! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you and your beloved ones a peaceful happy easter! Stay healthy!

I love everything about Tommy Emmanuel. Have seen so many of his videos and love them all. How he treats other guitar players, beginner to pro and treats them all as equals

Wow!! You are also a great virtuoso like Tommy. Admirable your virtuosity my friend. Great job, sincere congratulations.👏👏👍👍👍

Beautiful rendition ... great advice! Thank you.

I've just discovered your videos and I'm so happy! Amazing presentation and the song is sublime!

I found your channel from your ccr cotton fields lesson and I kept watching more videos of yours mostly about different guitarists and I learned so much new stuff from you like new guitarists I inspired from. Thank you so much. You're doing a great job!!! Also I liked this video a lot you put more commedy in and i had more fun watching it.

You inspire me...Am a long time fan of Tommy, live concerts, tapes, U-tube: your insight regarding practicing is a slap on the forehead moments for me. LOL about lightening speed. i'll keep watching THX>

When you slam the video off, the look on your face! GREAT GPilgim....love you man.....what a blessing.

Great job! Beautiful, love your work and passion and your videos are much appreciated and entertaining!

Great advice. Thanks for the videos. Wonderful.

One legend explaining the other. Well done GP! It is a pleasure watching and listening to your channel.

Ten years ago I worked as a compere at a guitar festival in Scotland and shared accommodation with Tommy. After his performance. he kept playing, in the green room, in a church hall nearby and back at the house where local people gave the participants hospitality. Over dinner, a plate of shepherd's pie (Keith Richards favourite), I savoured it for a moment and said 'You can really taste the shepherd.' Sitting opposite me, it was a wonder Tommy didn't choke on a portion, such was the laughter at the table. It became the catch-phrase for the festival. Tommy laughs a lot and so do I. He is a lovely guy. I gave him my Australia rugby shirt and wished him all the best. It is really nice to see him held in such high esteem. Wherever he is right now, he will be playing and laughing.

You are a fantastic teacher , Thanks

You are undoubtedly the best sensible player with perfect synchronicity between, feel, left and right hand and full body. Totally natural, which I have never encountered before on youtube ever.. A miracle

Love your videos! They're always so bright and positive.

Outstanding Pilgrim, your a talented individual.thankyou

Mr Emmanuel is one of the greatest virtuoso alive... but also he is a Good Soul - very positive giving people a lot of joy Amazing especially during such gloomy times... your work is the same - giving positive spirit thru guitar playing and teaching :) thumbs up ! greetings from Rheinland Pflaz Germany :)

Absolutely! He's one of the most genuinely authentic and nicest people you'll ever meet. The amount of time he gives to his fans before and after shows is amazing. He loves music and loves spreading his knowledge and love of music even more. There's not a mean bone in that guy's body.

Lovely interpretation at the end, you really know how to make us have new crushes for less known songs!

Hope you caught Tommy's live session on Facebook on the weekend... He's doing it again next week, too... Thanks for your ongoing videos... Always a joy, man... :)

NO RETIREMENT FOR YOU PILGRIM!!! You're an amazing guitarist and a superb teacher. Thank you!

...and that is about 99.9% of the times he plays. I have seen him 15 times live and each time I was awed by the end.

I have seen Tommy live a couple of times and was lucky enough to meet him - I was introduced to him as a fellow guitar player (i’ve played in loads of pub bands); i felt a little inadequate - in my opinion he is the best guitar player in the world - all i could manage to say was ‘your guitar seems to have more notes than mine.....’ he’s a really nice genuine man and an incredible talent.

Mostly of all, you are a great person. Always sound fantastic, but it comes directly from your pure warm soul. You do not act. You PLAY. Thank you.

You are reading my mind with your videos and ppl in them

Please more !!! I would love to see u take on his version of classical gas

What you’re pointing out regarding practicing at a slow tempo here is an absolute game changing fact. It’s not only valid for music but also for the everyday life we live and our wish fulfillment. As our subconscious is a recording machine, if it’s fed it with the wrong messages and strategies (playing at a fast tempo) it will lead us to frustration and unsatisfying feelings... Thanks for making this!

If you can play it slow, you can play it fast

You, my friend, have won a new subscriber for your muscle memory tip. Thanks a lot!

I love this! Tommy has to be one of the best ever - incredibly difficult to emmulate.

Man, I really love your videos! Although I can't play any of this stuff (yet!) it's still loads of fun to watch. Keep on doing what you do! You rock.

Nice work dude, always excellent content and music, saw mr Emmanuel a few months ago live and he was truly stupendous

You’re awesome you tell it like it is thank you people think they have to learn fast but no slow thank you for expressing and sharing awesome awesome

Absolutely Awesome Guitarist , I shared the stage with him at Adelaide Festival Theatre, I still have the DVD today.

I have been lucky to see tommy play live in the early 90,s, from then on I was hooked, his brother Phil was an absolute jem of a player.

Great explanation and execution, thanks I will try to improve based on your advice!

The fact that you even made a video about him is absolutely courageous. You're an amazing person

Thank God you didn’t retire because I love watching you I play a lot of Tommy Emmanuel songs and yes it is hard but I already know the chords and then playing chat Atkins music for a long time

That was really nicely explained and played!! There might actually be a chance for us mere mortals to learn a new piece!!

I'm sure Tommy will watch this video and have a really good chuckle. Awesome!

Watched the John Mayer video and now this one, instant subscribe, love these videos, your passion just makes it complete

you truly are a gifted guitarplayer and singer so inspiring :) thank you for sharing and keep up the good work ;)

Excellent video!! What you say about practicing slow- and especially the astute explanation regarding muscle memory goes with ANY instrument. I play keyboard (piano, mostly), and I found that, through nothing more than sheer laziness, I had learned one or two pieces that I have played for YEARS not all that well- every time, screwing up the fast parts, because I'd not had the patience to really just slow down, and get them right. So, finally, I "bit the bullet", and practiced it over and over again, SLOWLY speeding it up- never by more than I could without starting to screw it up. FINALLY, the error-free version got etched into my motor memory (i.e., it moves from the cerebrum to the much simpler and, hence FASTER cerebellum -where complex "automatic" motor direction is stored-). Now, since I no longer need to be CONSCIOUS of what my fingers are doing, it goes nice and fast without error.

Nice work! Brilliant ! Merci beaucoup !❤️🎶

Billy Strings is out there, Thom. The cleanliness of his touch is unbelievable. Found him through Tommy E. And found the latter through you! Thanks man. Oh, and about making faces: Billy Strings! playing with TE

You sir are a great guitar player, Kudos to you!

😂😂😂 looooooooove the reaction at the beginning.

Great job brother slow to burn it in memory thank you

Good tip in the slow practice. 🙏🏻😊

tommy emmanuel is an all around guitarist jazz.blues.rock country...he mainly do fingerstyle on acoustic but also rocks and shred on a telecaster..

Great video GP! Agreed, TE is at another level of guitar playing altogether. There are many great players, including yourself. However, no one that I have ever seen can play quite like him. He is also an amazing performer & genuinely nice guy! Australia should declare a Holiday in his name.....👍👍🎸🎸😉😉

We all love Tommy , but you are not to shabby either sir. Always great vidoe's.

Brilliant, always performing as greatness musician you are!

So very much fun and wisdom combined 👍👏🤠

Great video again, especially your message to have fun and not compare yourself with the best players in the world like Tommy Emmanuel. You have a great technique yourself. Greetings from Holland

Great video man. Wonderful performance.

As always excellent. Tommy is an amazing guitar player and, most important, an amazing an kind human being. You are also really good. I,ll go very slow to try to catch you 😉

Thank you for the Spaceballs reference! May the Schwartz be with us all.

Awesome. And entertaining too. Great edit.

it always confuses me whenever I see a "top guitarists" list that doesn't have Tommy (which actually happens a lot). It's like when they make the list, they only take (electric) guitar soloists into consideration, the ones like Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix or Slash, and acoustic guitarists are somehow always ignored. For me, if there's an absolute list of top guitar players of all time, Tommy must be at least in top 5.

Excellent, very humoristic and good playing. I love T-E, I think he is the best acoustic player.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy recently and found that he is not only an exceptional player but also is a really nice person. And he truly seems to enjoy his performing.

Your incredible my friend, I'm not even a guitar player but I could watch you play all day, we learn SO much

Beautiful piece

Great advice! Tommy Emmanuel always preaches slow practice, too.

Theory, nay, fact: Tommy Emmanual is never not in the zone. Heard stories about Tommy - he practices upwards of 6 hours a day despite touring with an insane schedule (think I heard an interview where he said he plays about 200 shows a year or something to that manner??)

I remember seeing the Emmanuel Brothers at the Greengate Hotel in Killara quite a few times. They were a great evening out. More of a variety show.

I watched Tommy and his brother Phil live 40 years ago and they were just as good back then as today, RIP Phil...

Loved this. Actually got to spend time with him in Hawaii at his guitar camp. Best week of my life!!

Thankyou for sharing this valuable lesson.. i fall to easily at times to tempo speed that hurts musicality and the joy of playing.. i literally remember just now an old joe satriani paragraph in a guitar magazine from the 80s stressing this very point.. i have to say i like your explanation better.. alas it does drive me mad at times when i want to "play it now!" Shalom from Victoria BC

Soooo helpful. We should apply that wisdom to everything we do. BTW....you’ve got the best guitar channel on YT. Only a matter of time until you hit the tipping point.

Your content is very good. Thanks for this post. I’m a fan of Tommy but I don’t think I had heard this song.

You are a amazing guitarist. Wish I could play like you

Fantastic !

Love your video man

I keep looking for additional like buttons, but alas, there's just the one...

Hahaha....you're a very good guitar tutor. Hats off to you🙋

You nailed me. It seems that every time I go to play a newer, difficult thing that I’m learning, I go way too fast (excitement? nerves?) I fall all over myself and it sounds like shit. Thanks for the reminder to ease up a bit. A lot.

I tried to click the like button 50 times but it just keeps going on & off.😁 I do love Tommy, but the likes are for your teaching, passion, production & humor. Already a Patreon. Keep it up. Love your stuff! BTW you nailed one of my problems ...playing too fast too soon. "Ludicrous speed"...Lol...When I heard that I knew where you were going. You did NOT disappoint!😂

When I was a young guy in Australia back in the early 1970’s I would spend Sunday afternoons in the Beer garden on my local hotel watching The Emmanuel Brothers...Tommy and Phil. RIP Phil

You're a very lovely guitar player too. 😍😍😍

Just watched 1st 54secs.just laughing at the way your face turned dark a bit..😂
