A note on recording Tommy's guitar: All the sound you hear from Tommy's guitar in this video comes from the pickup system in his Maton, recorded via the Direct Input on the AER Compact 60 (discussed at 54:35 - link in description). You may have noticed the microphone in front of the soundhole but it may not come as a surprise to learn that that's not particularly effective when there's a cover over the soundhole. Tommy covers the soundhole so he can get the most out of the microphone pickup by cranking it up (explained at 58:30).

MorbidManMusic I know it’s a bluegrass/old school guy thing that “pickups are bad”. I’m a bluegrass player too. But this pickup sounds just fine. Tommy wasn’t about to take the strings off his guitar and take the soundhole cover out, nor should he have. There’s plenty of footage of his raw guitar, mic’d up.

Saw Tommy in a Pub, well known for it's music, in an Irish town called Boyle. It's not the biggest town in the world but that night every guitar player in a 40 mile radius was in the first 10 rows. The guy is an awesome player, but so humble. The highlight was when some wag shouted "can you do anything Irish", and Tommy pauses a moment then says "I can blow up yer car mate!". After a short stunned silence everyone fell about the place laughing. You have to have a personality to get away with that!

When my son was 6 years old I took him to see Tommy, when he made an appearance in Blackpool, UK. We sat right at the front and Tommy regularly smiled at my son during the concert. Towards the end of the evening he addressed my son directly and dedicated a song to him, as by now it was very late in the evening but my son was still full of life and enjoying the gig. He said something along the lines of "this is for the little lad at the front, so he can remember the time when Tommy Emmanuel played two songs at once." Tommy then played Dixie/Yankee Doodle Dandy, both melodies simultaneously!!! What a guy and what a superb artist.

20 years ago, I was shredding away, and this guy asked if I wanted to buy Tommy Emmanuel tickets, for about £8.......I said who.... ..oh go on then. Never heard of him, never liked acoustic as it was “inferior” to my shred......never heard his stuff. We went to an awful run down venue, take your own cans of beer, and out he came. I laughed for 2 hours, not at his jokes (which were funny), but because I was completely mind blown, I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing, and laughing was my body’s way of saying “holy mother of Jesus Jeffrey’s Jones” ........ I bought the tab book after the gig, still got it. I then proceeded to play electric for another 20 years, and now, I have grown up. I am now totally focussed on Tommy, and will dedicate the next 20 years to this amazing music. I always listened to Tommy since that day, and always rated him as the best guitar player. I really struggled with his stuff, but now we have you tube and power tabs and so on.....I’ve got a chance ! The dude is my hero.

I'm guessing you don't know much about him with your comment that he's great on an "acoustic guitar" when he grew up playing the drums and the electric guitar (which is much easier to play than an acoustic on many different levels).

Tommy mentions how his dreams "slowly unfolded" - but he's one of those rare birds whose dreams were built upon stunning talent. I finally saw him last year in Charleston, SC (with David Grisman). What I love about this interview is that Lee lets Tommy talk - and Tommy has no useless filler, but start to finish something of value to share of his incredible beginnings, story and encouragement to other musicians. And to think what sacrifices and chance his dad took to get his kids a music career - I mean, that took a lot of courage. And I'm sure a lot of people thought he was crazy. Lastly, when one thinks about how few (primarily) mostly instrumentalist players strike massive success - I mean, you can just about count them on one hand. But an ACOUSTIC guitarist, mostly known for his virtuosity, and yet filling auditoriums all over the world - I mean, how rare and wonderful is THAT???!!!

R.I.P. Phil, a phenomenal guitarist in his own right. Everybody should check out the album they did together, Terra Firma.

@Juventud2222 4 года назад

I was lucky enough to watch him & his brother play a stadium in Melbourne. When they played Back On The Terra Firma just 2 guys on stage was intense, i was only a kid and still remember it. I remember 'The Journey' as impactful too.

Yep, it's got some ball terra's on it. That last bit where they're jamming AC/DC songs sounds like they're having so much fun.

@robertlennox3607 4 года назад

I feel so sorry for the 37 people who thumbs downed this! Tommy is an absolute genius as well as a top bloke. He always inspires me to be better as a player. Somewhere over the Rainbow made me cry when I heard him play it live, reached in and grabbed me.

I had the distinct honour of being Phil’s live sound engineer for a few years before his untimely death and can say that there’s no one in the ‘professional’ muso world more down to earth, honest, and pleasurable than the Emmanuel family to work for. Vale Phil ‘the wiz’, and monster respect tommy. Love your work brother.

I was today years old when I found out who Tommy Emmanuel is. What a guest, my day is completely allocated to learning more about him now. How have I gone 36 years of my life and 26 years of being a guitar player to never have heard of him is beyond me.
