Oh my God, I had won tickets to a Tommy Emmanuelle show in Nashville, had heard of him, but. Good lord, when he came out by himself, playing some ungodly beautiful melody, I burst into tears. Had never had something like that move me, next to some Beatles songs..he was unbelievable.

[magickriver]

Sweetest human being (on top of being one of the greatest axemen who ever walked the earth). Bless you, Tommy!

[scummydude]

Omg he’s an Ace Ventura fan
I love him even more now
🥸🤩

[extazerty]

I love this advice: "If you're a musician practice somewhere away from your family"... This reminds of this one time my wife asked me if I'm not tired of playing the same song 10 times in a row... I told her back that this was not even enough to warm me up, yet!

When you think about it Tommy is like the musical equivalent of a Olympic athlete. He’s quite literally been non stop touring for four decades to make his living, even in his 60’s he still plays something like over 250 shows a year and practices each day in his hotel rooms to keep his chops strong and up to speed. To play something like Caravan is actually physically demanding and he’s able to do it so effortlessly because he non stop trains himself to be able to. A true working musician

[dinkalicious]

I admire a lot of guitar players but Tommy E is the one who makes me say I wish I could play just like that. I've been an unashamed fanboy of the guy for over 20 years and he just gets better. He's also exceptionally gracious to his fans.

[msi]

Tommy is something else! He plays with the joy of his young kid soul and is technically impeccable. For sure there is a lot of work behind his art. I have seen him play in Uppsala Sweden and in Madson USA and enjoyed every second of his gigs.

I learned something about playing music the other day that had never occurred to me. I tinker on the keyboard, playing a bit of this song then a bit of that one, etc. I rarely have ever taken the time to learn to play ONE tune, properly and all the way through.
Then someone said, that's a mistake. No one will sit very long listening to a player pick out bits and pieces of many tunes. But if you can play ONE tune well, you'll have something that others will listen to and enjoy.
So now, I'm working on learning one tune well. Wish me luck.

[yensilluap]

He seems to be a very generous man - not all afraid to pass on what he has learned to others. I bet he is a true gentleman!

[jcee]

My stumpy fingers could never play that stretch. He's right, my family hates sultans of swing but after all that repetitive playing and failing I can play it note for note now. I'm very happy about that.

[CroakyFoakie]

I love this, no fluff, no ego just plain truth. Softly spoken advise that’s worth diamonds to any musican

[carlking]

I saw you (Tommy) live in Asheville NC maybe 20 or so years ago. After your show I had a chance to talk to your road manager (that's who she said she was), she told me that you drive her crazy, sitting in the back of the bus constantly practicing rifts or working on new rifts. She said you would do the same rift over and over and over for the longest time. So I believe you when you said in the video that its practice, practice, and more practice. BTW, I loved your performance. You hit the stage in a white long sleeve dress shirt, hair sticking straight up. I knew it was going to great, and it was better than great. You are a real showman.

[xxnonstopdancingxx]

Not only is he a genius, creative monster, stunning performer etc he is the only person at this level who talks and teaches like an average joe and explains things in a easy to understand way

[daveblevins]

I just love the truth of your teaching Tommy. Practice practice practice !!! Thank you very much for your time, and all that you share 👍

[lafreeway]

Now, that is a great interview. Let Tommy talk, that is all there is to it!

[ruigebeer]

He is such a lovable guy. I can never get enough of Tommy.

[caseylee]

''Musicians need practice, but everyone else hates it''-so funny. When I was 16, my mom use to beat on the wall at night and yell ''Put that guitar up'', so she could go to sleep. So I would go out to the back porch and play softly, so she couldn't hear me.

[ianson]

"Play it slow, bar by bar." My guitar teacher places a sheet of paper halfway into a bar and tells me to master the half-bar, then go to the second half. I think if I were to try a Tommy tab, he'd place the sheet on the first note or chord.

[BarkerT]

I always amazed how when I learn a new piece of music I almost hopeless but bit by bit I get my hands doing the right things and what once seemed impossible is achievable. It's a metaphor, man!

[PaulMahabir]

what a nice guy and so true about everyone else hating the practice! My brother was traumatised by my repetition of a blues riff which my guitar teacher taught me. Even to this day..
