You are watching the best acoustic guitarist in the world!

This is absolutely immposible to play.

Grand Canyon, Solar Eclipse, Rocky Mountains, Great Barrier Reef, Tommy Emmanuel.

Godgiven talent . You can’t learn to play like that without divine intervention.

Flat out the finest, most entertaining guitarist to ever strap on a 6-string. Tommy is an utter magician and a world treasure. And you won't find a more humble, likable person in the business.

Best acoustic guitarist of the world

We saw him at the Philadelphia Folk Festival several years ago, he was fantastic. He was so good that several of the other headliners invited him up on stage to play with them on their sets.

How many came here after the Rick Beato interview? I’m ashamed to say I didn’t even know about this guy before, but became an instant fan, and seeking out every recorded performance! His playing is pure joy, and a very cool dude on top of that!

WOW!!! i hope the Beatles themselves know/knew of him!

This man should be a National Treasure

Even Clapton said that TE is the most incredible, don't forget all of the other guitarists, but TE is the godfather of the guitar.

He's playing about 3 guitar parts simultaneously, to my ears :o

Tommy gave me his guitar strings in 2001. I have him a beer. He changes them every day...I kept them on my guitar for 2 years!

Thanks, now I have to pick up my jaw off the ground!

I forgot Tommy and I’m glad I remembered. Reminds me of my dad, been a fan since the 90’s, please come back home to oz for a concert ❤

His flawless dexterity is frightening

Remember folks, if we could all play good as tommy he wouldn’t be special anymore. 🥺

The original soundtrack of my life in 5,54 minutes. Thank you Tommy, thank you.

If you’ve ever tried to play guitar, you’d be crazy if you didn’t totally appreciate the skill and creativity Tommy displays in this performance. Wow!

I saw him live about 25 years ago and he is still just as good

Have you ever seen anybody have so much fun playing the guitar?? He's 65 and still soaring!

One of the best ever, Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Glenn Campbell, and more come to mind. Brilliant 👏.

The rhythms ❤️ The grooves ❤️ The melodies ❤️ The playfulness ❤️

That capo removal without missing a note at 1:09 is one of the most impressive things in the whole video. That takes practice as much as the rest of the performance. I've played for almost 20 years and I have never even considered doing something like that. Tommy is one of one... amazing.

If I closed my ears I could swear there's 3 guitarists playing!!!

Well, he passed the audition. With a little work, he might have a future in the music biz.

The best all-round guitarist in the world.

The greatest guitarist on the planet. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Then God said, let there be light and there was light...after 6 days and then on the 7th, God said this is the day to rest and listen to Mr. Tommy Emmanuel play his guitar!

When words fail, Tommy Emmanuel's playing speaks!!!

Incredible.

Excellent Monsieur !!!! j'adore !!

So amazing!! During a difficult day, I played this video which was shared by a friend and it just turned my day around!! I play it every day now... Here comes the sun truly brings the sunshine. Tommy Emmanuel is so joyful in his guitar playing, facial expressions and presentation. Watching him I see an amazing human being... so much heart and soul there. He has been put on this earth to spread joy all over.🙂 Can't wait to see him in the fall.🎶

OMG his hands are flying all over the place but every note is as clean as a whistle. Dare I say GOAT?

WOWOWOWOW

Great how Tommy translates sung beatles vocals into guitar instrumentals!

This has only been up a few hours, and Tommy has already been praised in about 10 languages.

Tommy Emmanuel is a world treasure. I wonder if he really, truly knows how much he gives to us when we listen to him. It is everything that is good in this world. He is fabulous.

I have had the Privilege of seeing Tommy ( and his brother Phil, . . RIP mate ) LIVE and, as a muso myself, have Never seen ANYONE better. Even at the breakneck speed he plays . . No Mistakes. After that performance with the Beatles Medley, I believe his Guitar wanted a Cigarette.

Aah Hello, I’m just a hack drummer so what do I know but seeing this performance I stood back from my PC and applauded.. yelling encore!!

Can't get enough of Tommy playing The Beatles, or Tommy playing anything.

2:44 That 7#9 chord gives the chills everytime.

That one wrong note in Day Tripper made my day.Tommy IS human! Absolutely stunning musician.His playing is always full of joy.

Wow 👏👏👏👌that capo removal is insane 🤯🤯🤯👏👏👏👏😎🥂

I can play really good, people tell me this in life. But I know I'm only at 50 % of this level after 38 years. Tommy you have the gift!

Its Bloody crazy the way this man plays an acoustic guitar !

Looks like he is having a blast!!!👍👍😁😁😁

greatest player that has ever lived

TE can do it all on an acoustic guitar. The best who’s alive today.

I'd love to see him again (for the 20th time), but I heard there's a warrant out for his arrest for committing felony assault on his guitar. The man doesn't play it, he slays it. Phenomenal.

Best ever Beatles medley on acoustic guitar 👍👍💪💪💪

The picking rhythms, the accuracy, the timing, the touch, the clarity…endless!

I found myself, once again, with my mouth open, enjoying Tommy's mastery of the guitar. IMHO, he is simply the best. Period.

About twenty years ago I saw Tommy and his brother Phil, RIP, play at a small club that was once at crown casino in Melbourne. There was a cross section of people at the show, definitely not the usual male dominated guitar fan crowd. Tommy and Phil put on an amazinv show, entertained the hell out of a crowd that wouldn't normally be into instrumental music. I dragged along a mate who was only half interested, he left that night dragging his jaw on the ground. That's a usual Tommy show!

You make me smile, Tommy!❤😊

We have had amazing periods of music in our history so far. For me these are the classical period from roughly 1700 until 1890, the rock/pop era from 50's 60's and 70's and then Tommy Emmanuel's career. There have been and still are, many fantastic guitarists around. However, just like the composers Bach. Beethoven Mozart etc. there will never be another T.E. for centuries to come. Nobody can play as fast as that and have so much clarity. Nobody's ears can distinguish any more notes than what he is playing when at full speed. Nobody has embellished the guitar with his percussion accompaniments. Nobody can be more passionate, more humble, more joyous than this man on or off the guitar. We are all very fortunate to be on this planet at this time to be able to here Tommy in his prime. I'm an Aussie and proud of Tommy but Tommy is in reality a World treasure. All humanity can be proud of his achievement in reaching such an amazingly high standard.

I think I'd need 10 lifetimes to play one of these Beatles song arrangements half as well as Tommy id nevermind the entire medley; easily one of the greatest guitarists of all time

This is so good , I honestly can’t believe this is only 1 person playing . that’s crazy how your playing a bass guitar and lead guitar at the same time

So talented. Love you Tom !!

He doesn’t play the guitar, it’s part of him.

... sitting here and watching this video ... I HAVE A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE !! ... STANDING OVATION from Austria to you !!

to get those sounds out of a guitar is INCREDIBLE.......lot of practice......and no drugs or marijuana ...I bet......just brains and heart and SOUL GOD BLESS THE MAN

I remember going to see Tommy during the 1980's for free at the local pub and many other places. Just incredible. By far the best guitarist I have seen. Especially acoustic. I used to tell everyone how great he was but at that time people would say Tommy who!!. I used to love seeing him play with his brother Phil. They were brilliant together

The best sound I've heard I'm straight as a dye

Pretty amazing how many people the Beatles influenced whether it be with their music, their style, or just the way they went about life. They were a true phenomenon.

I came looking for Copper, But Damn, I found GOLD.

I've never seen this piece performed so amazingly cool. If you play guitar, this is how it's supposed to be done son. LOVE it and the brewery Sierra Nevada Brewery is my fav beer to have whilst watching something this mind blowing!

He's not a Musician, he's a *Magician!!*

I truly believe Tommy is the greatest guitarist the world has seen.. Leagues above any of the greats

This song but a different video was the first one I ever saw of tommy Emmanuel. I remember being absolutely floored. Still am. He’s the absolute 🐐

The best.

Just brilliant!

Tommy has settled the debate on using a Capo or not once and for all. If a Capo is good enough for Tommy Emmanuel, it's certainly good enough for the rest of us mortals.

This is some great music. He's a one man guitar band!

An Tommy. Saw him the other night in Canberra and if anything he is even better than ever. AWESOME

Saw Tommy last night in Eureka, California he was GREAT, even better than the last time I saw him.

The bass, the rhythm and the lead, even the percussion, all by ONE man! Wow!!

"Practice, practice, practice, practice , practice. And when you think you've practiced enough, practice some more." - Tommy Emmanuel. He literally owns what he does. Amazing! Seen you live Tommy and you've inspired me to be the best that I can be.

Beautiful and incredible.

...i have nothing to utter everytime i see tommy play...speechless.!.😮❤

i literally stood up on my keyboard for about 1 minutes, don't know what to write. That is speechless on another level. This man is.. i dont' even know how to describe his greatness in words. But i know one thing, i need to sell my guitar and quit playing.

Okay, two thoughts. First of all, the guitar has obviously been put under a spell by the music god and is enchanted, because fingers just don't DO that! Second, I've been playing since '62, and I'm going to sell my ax because IT is definitely NOT enchanted. Thirdly (Forget the two thoughts thing), I'm dazed - in a good way. Amazing arrangements of some of the best pop/rock music in history played supernaturally by someone whose joy is evident (rare for a guitarist, most of us look like we're suffering or in pain). THANK YOU Tommy!

amazing

I do not have any words to describe this..I do not believe it physically possible. Saw Tommy in Dublin last year and booked again for this year although Covid put paid to that..they asked if I wanted a refund or wait until 2022 to see him..well what would you do...I cant wait!

One man amazing band! Sounds like three or four people playing!

Tommy's playing always makes me smile and laugh 😆!

Brilliant Tommy!

진정한 레전드 입니다! 최고 입니다.😊😊😊

You killed it, Tommy!!! That capo... where'd it go? LOL 🤟😁🤟

Here Comes the Sun has always been one of my favorite tunes and Tommy's version is so full of joy! And the rest... really no words. So on fire!!

Dude sure knows his way with the strings! Amazing!

BRAVISSIMO

The best, those are all very difficult Beatles songs too, awesome

I love how much fun he’s having it’s infectious

love this dude he inspires me every day !!!!

You tommy are THE GUITAR

The lick at 3:25 blows my mind how each note sounds so clear and powerful.

My God. Sounds like there are 2 or 3 guitars playing....Incredible..... (Y)

Great, amazing, wonderful!

The One! The Only! Tommy Emmanuel!
