It's not just about the skill (which is obviously off the charts); it's also about the pure joy he exudes when performing, that makes him such a pleasure to listen to.

There’s no such thing as the worlds best guitarist... but nobody is better than ole Tommy.

This is 2021. I've listened to music my whole life, and I'm a professional musician. Tommy's been playing for decades. And yet, here I am listening to details I didn't know existed in guitar. What a master.

Me having played guitar for 35 years: "What did he do right there?? and there??? and there!!!??"

Tommy ain't no guitarist. He has transcended. Now, he's something else, something beyond.

Simply one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk this planet.

Tommy is in the pantheon. This is an insanely soulful performance. A master.

The Holy Spirit has descended upon this man!! What a gift! I just keep watching this over and over again. Thank You Tommy!

The hymn "Amazing Grace" is one of the best hymns that a sinner could sing! I can feel that he is praising God through this play!

There will never be another version of amazing grace that is as amazing as this one, ever again.

Most musicians with this kind of talent usually go off on some avant-garde tangent in their later years. Maybe because they get bored with "traditional" music styles, but Tommy continues to make amazing versions of traditional tunes that I never get tired of listening to.

No one can ever play that again. He has ended interpretations of that song. He has the last word.

That full chord he plays at 2:07 made him my favourite human ever.

John Newton, 1779 Verse 1 Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. Verse 2 ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! Verse 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. Verse 4 The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Verse 5 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. Verse 6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine. Verse 7 When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.

"Make a joyful noise unto the lord"! Tommy thanks for the joy you spread with your playing! What a gift!

He's not playing a guitar with his fingers, but playing it with his heart/soul and bringing the audience for a spiritual ride! Wow! Always inspired and grateful Tommy! Thks!

The true master. The creativity and the interpretation of this spiritual piece are a work of true musical genius.

Praise the Lord for His grace! Wonderful musician!

This guy's personal relationship with the guitar warrants further experience. Damn, he could teach this other world.

The different sound he managed to get out of that one instrument is insane😮

This level of talent rarely comes into being. God bless you Tommy.

Who on earth can dislike this not guitar players that’s for sure

The way Tommy ends this literally gives me the chills. Unreal

Sometimes listening to Tommy Emmanuel is a spiritual experience. This is one of those.

The guitar: you guys really don’t understand how much I’ve been through...

I used to call myself a guitar player, that is, until I saw Tommy open up for Ricky Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder... from that point I started to call myself a guitar plunker. T E is the best I've ever seen... strictly in MY OPINION, he's the GOAT! He may not be YOUR GOAT, but he's mine.

The Maestro Tommy Emmanuel, is certainly among the most talented, impressive, and extraordinary guitarists in the history of Music.

I've played acoustic guitar for a long time, and I said 'oh shit' and 'Damn' more than a lot a times during this. Great spirit and presence from Tommy E dog!

I've seen so many great guitarist's and honestly none of them is like tommy. Tommy he's just in another level, he is the god father of finger style of this generation. Just amazing.

This is a dose of soul big enough to give those without one enough to make it to heaven.

The all time master of fingerstyle guitar and SO musical!

Soothing... Tommy u never fail to impress me.. So it's a yes from me.. Good luck

One of the most inspiring guitar players of all time. Fun.

watching this with wide open mouth, geeeses, the last time I was this impressed and humble before a genius, was when i saw Gary Moore with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in Stockholm 1994. Holy moly what a guitarplayer, Mr Tommy Emmanuel!

His body&his guitar spoke the fine language of music. He did it with Amazing Grace.

His playing is out of this world, but what I like even more is his passion and gusto.

To all you dislikes, Pooh on you! This is an amazing peace of musical art and a master of the ax at work. Nice job Tommy, nice!

Jesus Christ , This the best amazing Grace Guitar Solo In The Worldddd!!!!!

Something most perfect that I have heard in my whole life

no one 'owns' the guitar like this man....incredible!!!

Tommy is a GIFT from GOD!!!!

Truly on here, not a missed moment ! An artist that inspires, moves and will be one who will be remembered for generations. Thank you !

I had the good fortune to win a competition the prize was double tickets, best sets in the house, his new CD and meeting him backstage after the show. He was brilliant.

Tommy has Amazing Grace with that guitar. Best guitarist of all time in his field.

Greatest guitar player alive; without a doubt in my mind...

I keep watching this over and over lol Steve the sound guy got Tommy's setup sounding insane in this video!

God is good, to have blessed us with this man. And what grace God extends to us through His son Jesus, and this, celebrated in this arrangement. Thank you Tommy for blessing me today and helping me look upward!

One of the greats playing the greatest song probably ever written!!

3:28 what a otherworldly ending. He literally makes an acoustic guitar sound like a Rhoades electric piano! It's 13 notes, and gets them to sustain and layer atop each other, with the clever use of harmonics. This is so difficult to do with only 6 strings! Just brilliant, brilliant player.

⭐🍀Tommy,,,👏💐Beautiful... congratulations... I wish you all the best - greetings from Krakow 💐

More the the playing of the song, is the BELIEVING of that Amazing Grace that has come to this world, for without it, there is no reason for the song being played. John 3:16-18 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

He is iron man. ❤️❤️I've never seen a bend like this on an acustic guitar.

For a long time I was in denial thinking that there must be somebody that's as good as Tommy. Thirty years later I still haven't found anyone who comes close to this mans talent.

Amazing + Grace = Mission accomplished. Well done Mr. Emmanuel, very well done indeed.

It’s always a blessing when someone like him reaches down to comfort us! 🍀🍺

Wish I could give more than just a thumbs up. I'd have hearts, angels, and soaring eagles to express my love for this.

Lord have mercy! There is so much heart expressed here. Now I'm ready to preach. HALLELUJAH!

Божественно. Флажолеты - просто бриллианты. Гениальный музыкант.

Played from the heart. Awesome! It is such worship that pleases the Lord. Cha SA.

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of not only this, but when I've seen him live. It's almost angelic. Well, ok. It is angelic 👍🇺🇸

I always love Tommy's rendition. Thanks, Tommy for your amazing performance.

I could listen to Tommy all day. What an incredible master of the guitar. Thank you Tommy.

Now . . Tommy is in his own orbit there . . I bet everyone is spinning out 🥰

Absolutely stunning performance Tommy...love it!!

As well as the style of playing, fashioned by years of dedication, Tommy's obvious love for music and his creativity are so apparent.

There is precious little better in this world, than watching the best having fun . . . a benchmark performance.

One of the best guitar players that has ever lived ! I am spellbound when I watch him play this stuff , and I have been a guitar player since 1963 .

If I could hit one single note with such an amazing tone I'd be satisfied for a lifetime

The best music for the all best people by one of the best musicians 💥😊👍

That's having power over the instrument, how great this man is, and I never get tired of listening to him.

La felicità del tuo viso è musica...!! ❤🎶❤

This amazing player play The Amazing Grace definitely is SUPER AMAZING !!!

Easily greatest player that's ever lived

No need voice, cords are enought AWESOME. Best regards from Brasil 🇧🇷❤️

those thumbs down .. is guys who can't play guitar .. Tommy spend more time on his guitar a day than these guys in a lifetime in prayer .....

EVERY time I watch this guy play, I have to pick my jaw off the floor...

I actually went to one of his shows and it's really amazing, he's very very very very skilled with the guitar, so I got my first acoustic guitar and started learning it inspired by him! Great job Tommy :)

Franchement c'est un grand guitariste que j'aime beaucoup écouter, il me fait beaucoup du bien. Même si je joue de la guitare aussi lui me captive encore plus

Super concert,legend guitarist,love 🙏🍀❤️🎼🎵🎶✌️👌🎸🍁🍂

Вот сколько не слушай, каждый раз в такой кайф. Браво!!!

Спасибо Вам! Томми! Храни Вас Господь!

My goodness!! So lucky to live in your era master. 🙏🏻

Beautiful to listen to this again after so long, his guitar (Bertha) not only sounds amazing but is also down tuned three semitones to so his E chord is C sharp major, one of my personal favorite Tommy performances.

Savage.... this is a masterpiece !

Tommy is a great ,a genius musician !!!!! He made from a simple melody something Magnificent !!!!!

Kaish....My God ...... I salute grace and the oil on your head please bishop .... I am soaked straight away into this anointing of yours please archbishop of guitar

He is an amazingly sensitive and accomplished musician. Immense respect.

Красавчик. Супер. Звуки души (моей в том числе)) о которых я не догадывался. Не представлял, что такое можно выдать на гитаре.

Anyone who gives Tommy a thumbs down .....there's a special place in he'll for ya

Imagine giving this a thumbs down...

Dude takes dynamics to a whole new level. Tasteful food for the ears and soul.

I once commented on one of Tommy's more humble performances, and some young gentleman in all of his sincerity and uninformed knowledge made an attempt to enrich me that today there are some equivalent "pickers". OK, so I completely and professionally informed him while there are some truly good pickers out there, Tommy Emmanuel also does not rely on polished production when he plays. He could, but he doesn't, as his live performance are always insanely brilliant. This performance is as are too many others, a testament of Tommy's unabashed guitar genius.. Passionate, deep, and with a smile, Tommy will play ALL OF the instrument.. To which there is no equal. Thank you Mr Emmanuel for showing us, as well as playing, such Amazing Grace.

the warmth and tone that guitar is giving off here is insane... On top of his playing... Mind blown

Tommy is the best. I can't believe that my bucket list has been fulfilled. 😊

We met in Parramatta Gaol at a church service, myself sitting there knowingly shitting myself awaiting the arrival of this man Tommy Emmanuel. The choir director at the time had arranged him to come play at church, as they had known each other through session and touring work. I can only say what a priviledge to meet, see, hear and play with this absolute gentleman of a man! Bless you Tommy x

Что сказать?Великий музыкант!!!!👍👍👍

love this manso much, once I met a Dannish,we met in Bali..he asked about my beloved guitar player,I answered,Tommy Emmanuel. I recommend him to watch Tommy anytime if he does the show. he is just a man with a guitar,but you will love him so much. And that Dannish watch Tommy when Tommy did the show in Thailand. the Dannish, I'm happy that I can give happiness to somebody else joy just to recommend Tommy Emmanuek

If I could only have his talent for one day... Man what a guitarist

People who gave this a thumbs down 😂 tried to pick up the guitar and learned it's not as easy as he makes it look.

Tommy is the G.O.A.T!! The godfather of guitar
