House of the Rising Sun - Guitar Lesson with Tommy Emmanuel

[ursafan]

A free lesson from a guitar Jedi master.
The modern world is amazing

[markrogers]

What amazes me is Tommy's generosity in sharing this for free.

Omg, the tone of that guitar and strings. So CRYSTAL CLEAR.

[MelvilleG]

I know a real master by seeing his modesty. When Tommy gives even simpliest tutorials - he never shows off. He explains every quirk so you feel his kind attitude and don't feel yourself stupid or giftless. This is another part of his talent.

[nguyentan]

I can't believe to have a chance to get such a detailed tutorial from one of the best guitarists in the world. Thank you, sir.

[EDKguy]

I love how his playing makes me feel. It sounds so free and spontaneous and alive, but then I realize how much practice, planing and experience goes into his art and then I'm really impressed with his playing. One cool Dude.

[koeliejoelie]

Just amazing. It looks so easy in the hands of the master

[mrmockatoo]

Tommy passing it on. He makes my head wobble every time. A master class.

I love the way Tommy gives his playing a "zooty-yat-da-da-da" bouncy feel. Very much like ragtime playing, in general. He does the same to Deep River Blues. Punchy and Fun to embrace in one's playing. BTW: I recently learned that the gear icon in the window allows you to alter the playback speed! Listening to Tommy's, even slower demonstrations, at .75% brings it home. This is a priceless lesson, unattainable just a few decades back. If a young player isn't taking a lesson everyday on YT they are missing a world of knowledge.

I still can't play any of his pieces but everytime I watch one of his lessons I come away with something I can use and build into my own guitar playing. It might be a chord sequence, a voicing or a fingering but there is always something there that is usable in general playing.

[LongTrout]

What a great lesson from the Man himself. It is an honor to receive knowledge from him.

FANTASTIČNO.U RUKAMA MAJSTORA DELUJE PREDIVNO ŠTO DOKAZUJE I VIDEO.BRAVO.

[ramlathers]

Remember not to get discouraged thinking "man I'll never make it to Tommy's level..." because first of all there are few guitarists living or dead who ever make it to "Tommy's level" and secondly it's not about levels, it's about expressing yourself on your instrument.Don't worry about what you've achieved technically. I don't mean to say don't bother trying to advance your technique, just do so from a musical perspective. For example say you're learning The House of The Rising Sun on your own and you hear an original idea pop into your head. Take the time to work out that idea even if it means (or rather especially if it means)having to develop a new technique to realize said idea.THAT is the way to think about advancing not by sitting there going over a major scale for an hour. Again YES, technique is important and so of course are scales, but try not to devote ALL of your time to the dry and unmusical repetition of scales. Think MUSIC.

Tommy's energy is just unparalleled. That lick is absolutely genius in every way. Cheers!

[mraybarsx]

I cant believe this is free, a lesson from the king himself.

[AlergicToSnow]

Fantastic. He’s used an easy song to teach the nuances and to get the boom chicka down. Just what I needed.

[michaeledwards]

Thank you Mr. Tommy Emmanuel now I can officially say I have taken a short guitar lesson with the worlds greatest living guitar player. Again thank you

[markgardiner]

MAN, JUST THAT SLIDE UP INFO RELATING TO A VOICE REACHING FOR A HIGHER NOTE WAS PRICELESS. THANKS TOMMY💖💖

[rodolfoarguilla]

Amazing! A month's worth of guitar lesson in 8-minutes. Thanks.
