Oh my gosh, does Tommy ever have a bad day? I was living in the North East of England for 6 years (I’m presently in Australia). A friend called one day and said Tommy Emmanuel is performing in the local pub. I said, no he isn’t. Tommy performs to thousands. Well, my friend gave me the number of the pub (called the Ropery in Sunderland). We booked in and decided to go for a meal before the concert. Who should be in the restaurant but fellow Aussie, Tommy Emmanuel. We introduced ourselves and he shook our hands and was such a nice guy. After dinner Tommy performed to a packed house of about 100 people. I believe he blew the speakers in the pub. During the two hour performance he welcomed the “fellow Aussies” to the pub and performed an Aussie medley just for us. What a super-nice guy he is. I will never forget that night or Tommy’s flawless and amazing performance. Thanks again for featuring him on you awesome channel Rick. I love it. Dave from down-under 🇦🇺

Love the look of pure joy on Rick's face. Priceless 🙂 I was once a Sydney-based stage-roadie (mid 1980s) and I had the chance to look after Tommy twice when he was a guest player for 'The Kevin Borich Band'. Already a brilliant guitarist, and a sweeter guy you could not ask for. It's wonderful to see him still out there doing his thing. 🤗

"I'm not playing the guitar. I'm playing music." That is golden advice Tommy. Thanks so much for opening my eyes, and thanks for all the joy you have given me over the years.

@woofcity6307 9 ай бұрын
This IS really the idea, to play music and not really the guitar at all - but honestly you have to ‘hear’ it in your head as music - and have enough technique that you can forget it all and just say things… it’s the way to go but it takes 10,000 hours to get there and you need the mental aptitude to just speak vs playing shapes and patterns and it’s like another level of communicating - which in the end, thats what it is - “communication”

Sooo good! I caught him for the first time in the late 1990s at Winfield. Then, later after I started my business I attented one of his master classes and gave him a compressor (yeah I know that's the exact wrong effect this guy needs, but I wanted to give him something!). He blew my mind playing two different Beatles songs at the same time. Such a masterful performer as well.

Took a master class from Tommy in 2007. It was life changing. His humility, class and obvious skills inspired me to start playing guitar at a much higher level. After sitting with him, I became a student of music again. He is a treasure. I still draw from the lessons learned that weekend at Westminster College in Utah.
