It's just amazing to watch him play. He's so way beyond technique to where it's all about melody and feel for him. For most of us mortals, that's a long journey.

You're right. Even most "guitar heroes" couldn't keep up with this guy. He is on a whole different level.

He's been doing it since he was 6 years old. (There's always hope for us the next time around - yeah right....) :)

It's hard to find anyone, who even comes near him, and i am so tired of hearing people always naming, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, etc, as being the best guitar players ever, like NOT EVEN FUCKING close to this guy, he has 5 hands, with 12 fingers on each hand, and a mutant :O Such a talent!!!

such a beautiful player-very cool tuning. i suspect you could randomly turn the respective tuning keys and TE would still coax beautiful music out of the instrument

This tuning was first used by Francisco Tarrega in his transcription of 'Sevilla' by Isaac Albeniz. This would have been in the 19th century. Just FYI!

He is a shredder of acoustic guitar lol it's amazing to watch him effortlessly play, his tone and touch are king. I can't help but think his last song there has a little bit of Silvestri's "Back To The Future" theme in it, as crazy as that sounds. It doesn't diminish to the same final chords, but it's got a piece of the melody in there, I'm sure of it!

One day, not all that long ago, I found a video on KZfaq by a guitarist named Tommy Emmanuel. Tommy WHO?? Now...I have been playing at guitar, for many, many years, and I THOUGHT I had heard of pretty much all of the "great" guitar players. Ohhh...was I ever wrong! I now ask myself, every time I see a video by Tommy, how is it that I never heard of him before? This man is such a great player, EVERYONE should know his name. It makes me sad, that someone this good, is a relative unknown, other than in the guitar community. But it makes me very happy, that I found Tommy, and his wonderful talent. From what I can see, he is not just a GREAT guitar player, but also a great teacher, and a great person. You can't ask more of a man than that. Thank you Tommy, for the gift you are to all of us. May your fingers always bring joy to our ears...
