I have to say, THIS is THE definitive version of Guitar Boogie on RU-vid. It kills me when I think of how few people know this man's genius. How many people waste their time on idiot popstars who are here today and gone tomorrow? Mr Emmanuel has spent decades perfecting his craft, and not enough people recognize him. Thanks for posting this.
I've seen almost every version of this song from Tommy. Every single time my jaw is hanging. But this version, is just incredible. I hereby declare this the best version ever!
Well, I have seen Tommy live twice and watched every single version of this song on YT, and I'm quite positive this one is unreal... What an angry and no-compromise playing, full of splendide ideas. That was pure musical rage ! Awesome, as usual. Tommy is the definitive guitar God.
that made me laugh so much. Tommy playing around, having fun, but blowing people's minds in the process. This stuff is just insane...and I really LOVE that he always does it differently....each time like a new journey.
I think tommy was in his prime around this time. Around the time the ‘endless road’ album was released and probably a lot of the ideas for the ‘mystery’ album came together.
In Music, playability is normally splitted into 4 levels: Beginner- , advanced-, pro- and the highest, the artlevel. He has invented a new highest one, the TE- level.
I filmed him in 1991 in a shopping centre in Sydney, but I think this one is in Brisbane. This version is better than mine, but at least in '91 he had more hair. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BYXo1eCZTaA.html
Ok pour la virtuosité de Tommy, plutôt un déchainement de notes d'ailleurs, qui n'a plus rien à voir avec la version originale d'Arthur Smith, interprétation qui restera inégalée !
Mate, this is about as good as you're going to get for a recording as early as this, unless it's recorded through the PA, which for a little gig like this would most likely not have happened.
