If I Had You (Live) l Tommy Emmanuel w/ Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo 

RIP

Agreed, he blew the rest of them off that stage.

Yep it’s not how many notes you play It’s how you play the notes ❤

He's such a master that he hardly uses any effort

Does anyone know the tuning on his guitar. Is it BEADGBE?

Bucky is 91. One of the great 7-string players. His son John ain't half bad either. Saw Bucky sit in with Les Paul about 14 years ago.

Had the pleasure of seeing Bucky , John and his brother at Nobody's Inn in Mahesh NJ ... A real treat for the ears .

I saw Bucky with Stephane Grappelli many years ago in Toronto at Massey Hall. Pure magic...

This was a perfect track to listen on my birthday. Mr. Pizzarelli is beyond comparison !

He was wonderful. May he rest in peace.

My nemesis….overplaying. I’ve fought it my whole life.

Amén!

Thanks mate :) Have a good time and stay healthy!

Yes. Well put. Especially the "so soothing . . . they make it look so easy." The great ones always perform artlessly -- you watch and think, "With enough time, I could play like that." Oh no you can't.

What a perfect comment! Mind you I'm 73 and a Gibson Northern) Southern Jumbo is my weapon of choice. A glorified J-44. But you knew that. Thank you, Jonas Baltrūnas . (Just left a note of my own on this day when Bucky left us. -- Mark B of the frozen North

Yes! Thanks for the informed note. Left one of my own this day (04/02/2020) -- same day Bucky's death was announced -- on Tommy's Facebook page. They were best friends for a long time.

He is a brilliant rhythm player. He can also play fine lead, but he subsumes that part of his playing to make everyone else sound good.

For reasons I can't express -- my favorite comment here is YOURS. Thanks for sharing Vallério Wiz I see you hail from the most musical nation on earth. They named their international airport in Rio after someone I always call 'The Cole Porter of Brazil' -- Antonio Carlos Jobim. Life long guitar heroes hail from there -- Luiz (A Day in the Life of a Fool) Bonfa. His 'Batucada' Chet Atkins and Lenny Breau included on their Standard Brands CD. Just as an aside both men, Chet and Lenny told me on separate occasions (in 1971) that they considered each other "the greatest guitarist in the world." Oh yes, and Laurindo Almeida. Playing solo accompaniment on Sammy Davis Jr's album of Broadway standards. And accompanying Sinatra on my favorite Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen song, I Only Miss Her When I Think of Her -- but you knew all this. Left a note of my own on this day when we learned of Bucky's passing. 4/22/20. P.S. Brazil's latest gift -- maybe my favorite living finger-style virtuoso -- is Walter Rodriguez Jr whose versions of standards have attracted millions of views. His chord sequences are artless perfection. I told him recently the word that springs to mind is "coherence" -- everything flowing perfectly. Walter makes it look so easy. Check him out, you may agree he is the best ever from Brazil.

Kiwi Dad I feel just the same. Ee sre so lucky to see and hear Bucky, Vinny, Frank and Tommy. Bravo

In five words or less . . . oh I see you did it already.

Yes. By my second-favorite composer, Harry (Salvatore Guaragna) Warren -- who still holds the record for the most No. 1 hit melodies -- 21 (correct) for almost as many artists. You'd know dozens of them. And given your appreciation of great, overlooked melodies, I just know that you love my favorite of his THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU -- my go-to song when I take a Gibson down from the wall at the guitar store. All this, triggered by your informed note, Jazzerson. Thanks for sharing. Left one of my own this day -- the day of Bucky's death. -- Mark B of the frozen North.

practice practice practice!

And talent, talent, talent.

You have good taste, Angie. But you knew that. Tommy announced Bucky's death this day 4/2/2020 and I left him a note at his Facebook page. Yes, "sooooo smooth." -- Mark B of the frozen North

I second that emotion.
