Tommy Emmanuel Lesson - How to Fingerpick Like Chet Atkins

[jakem]

I'm really honoured that Tommy Emmanuel could take the time to show people this and give some great advice about practicing.

Took my dad(big Chet fan) to see Tommy live! Best day ever! First 3 songs I sat still in awe. I 've never heard anyone play that perfect before. His show was the best I've ever seen live! Phenomenal talent with a down to earth personality. Can't say enough good things about him.

[bbunters]

Love how he keeps promising to play it through at a medium pace and then just tears right into it at full speed :D

[guitarworld]

Really though, this guy is absolutely out of his mind, right? When he came into our studio we all pretty much stood there with our jaws dropped.

I attended a guitar workshop with Tommy many years ago, absolutely blew me away & I've been playing for 40 years. You will not meet a more humble genuine guy & what a talent.

[MegaNavek]

i was working backstage at a festival and i have to say he is one of the nicest genuine people ....and just mega talented

[rudicci]

I can listen to Tommy all day long, honestly. Talented beyond his own awareness.

[bach]

Been a fan of his for 25 years and he gets more insane each time I see him. I'll see you all in 275 years once I have this song halfway down.

I had the pleasure of seeing him play live. Truly inspring.

I have heard Tommy several times, I am going to see him in June 2016. He is as much a "regular guy" in person as he is on the videos. I have a framed photo of him and myself at home. He is the real deal.

[garywhitaker]

Speechless! A master like Tommy taking the time to do this is amazing. Much respect and thanks!

[twitch.]

Lol medium pace? How fast does this dude normally play it? 500 bpm?

[MelvinOfTheWorld]

What a gift! His playing is from another time & space, ...absolutely amzing!

[TheEthug]

More Tommy. More of this style please.

[dcocrypto]

Your a legend Tommy, the best acoustic guitarist ever

but there is one thing we can do as well as he does....

[lamystorius]

I got so excited when I saw that they did a video with the great TE! Good stuff

[dillonGC]

Holy what the! An amazing display of finger style!

So tired of youtube lessons for beginners. He's not telling exactly what to play. He wants you to know the song first, then learn it for yourself. what a genius.
