What a Wonderful World | Tommy Emmanuel

Here’s Tommy Emmanuel doing a one-take/off-the-cuff performance of the Louis Armstrong classic, “What a Wonderful World.” Tommy was showing his videographers his classic Gibson Kalamazoo guitar, and he started performing this song. Luckily, they captured it on film. “What a Wonderful World” was orginally written by George Douglas and George David Weiss.

This was filmed and edited by Joshua Britt & Neilson Hubbard for Neighborhoods Apart.

The World is a much better place with you in it, Tommy.

If I were allowed to have only one song on a desert island(too contrived assumption, lol), I would bring this, listen to it every morning thinking or remembering how beautiful life was. Plus I would shout loud "What a wonderful world, what a life!"

Tommy's music is a hug to the soul

[robertlaguirremusic]

Doing some of the melody on its own with no base notes was masterful. It’s such a beautiful melody as it is. It made it more vulnerable and pure. Love how you played this from the heart ❤️ ❤ thank you brother

God himself blessed us with beautiful things in this world to enjoy like the blue sky, the ocean, and

You can see the hands ageing but not the talent. I'm past half a Century in age, watching this gives me motivation to keep learning and chasing dreams. Thank you T.E.

[natestein]

Among other things, I love how he started singing the B section of the song. It seemed like a fitting addition to a gorgeous arrangement. Thank you so much for sharing this
