Tommy Emmanuel - This Is Your Life - 2004 

For me no Phil and no Tommy, but no Tommy and no Phil.Both great guitarists and when Phil passed was a sad day.

He does for sure , i played many guitar gigs with Phil for over 5 years .Great times! Tommy chased being on stage all over the world big time though .Tommy even said i am like a soldier when it comes to touring where as Phil shunned away from the spotlight and wasn't so keen on touring overseas .Tommy would sometimes try and get Phil overseas but Phil wanted to chill in Australia playing the local clubs and pubs.

as clever as Phil was he was never the guitarist or musician Tommy is

​@@pls_explain9608 Bulshit.

As I saw it, Tommy was the musician and Entertainer who just loved being on the stage.. Phil was an equally talented guitarist, but he didn't need or want the limelight as much. But Phil loved to play the guitar also, and we all loved to hear them.

Me too! As an instrumentalist you'll appreciate how he breaks down his playing approach as a "one man band" in this TEDX talk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ENJuNCkPfx0.html

RIP? The guy's not dead! At least, you comment is one year old and there's an interview made 9 months ago by Rick Beato...

​@@micpepPhil passed away may 24 2018, at age 65.

Phil and Tommy loved each other dearly. And they made fabulous music together. Tom always called Phil “The Wizz” as in wizard of guitar. They were each other’s greatest fans.

@@davidsimmons3844Phil died of asthma at his brother Darcy’s home. Ambulance couldn’t revive him.

8 times

I saw him in Wollongong He played The Concerto de Aranjeuz by Rodrigo. A Classical piece. Did the percussion on the bell of his guitar. BOOM! Still haven't found my socks.

Saw him in Des Moines Iowa. Beyond amazing!!!! His rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is gorgeous!!!

watching him live improved my life by about 10% each time... 10/10 recommend

Chris Kennard saw him live in Brisbane 2/3 years ago,bloody awesome

Well, we all went to a great after party, and got to bed at about 3am. Great fun!

Me too!!! I've still got the original admission tickets to The Star (known as Jupiters) Casino for this concert... And what a night of high emotion it was. It couldn't have happened to a more genuine Australian. Long live Tommy!

I love Dare To Be Different

Same here saw him twice on his own and one with Martin Taylor great guitarist and so entertaining so was Martin legend's

What a lovely story. I can't imagine anybody else who would be willing to give up their own personal time to fulfill their fans requests. Long live TE

People are dumb that gives thumbs down. If it's not their style of music or them, you can still give thumbs up. I don't like rap but just how good people can rap with fast talking without taking a breath, I would give them thumbs up. There's nothing awful about Tommy Emmanuel performance.

If it makes you feel any better, statistically for every few thousand views there is an accidental thumbs down. I’ve gone back to videos that I really like and noticed that on my screen the thumbs down button was lit, possibly I hit it while scrolling. At least it makes me feel better than to think anyone would thumbs down something this beautiful… LOL

It was originally recorded by his mentor, Chet Atkins. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OVSHdwWzLo4.html

CGP!

Tom Winsatt; Phil was a monster. Check out Tommy and Phil, "Going Home."

- While Tommy is recognised as one of the world's best fingerstyle guitarists, his brother Phil was an absolute master of the plectrum guitar - up there with Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton.

Isn't music just wonderful? :) Tommy has brought me so much happiness through his music and inspired me to play. It doesn't matter if you can play at 100km/h or just 3 simple chords. As long as you're enjoying, it that's all that matters. Keep up the great singing :)

I believe I was at the same show a few years back. Simply mesmerizing

I was enlightened about 8 or 9 years ago and is glad I did not remain ignorant of the joy and intense focus he amazing talent brings to me. I never thought it a complement to say, whether to others or two the artist himsel,f that I believe them to be a great guitar player, he knows that! as of I were in some position that my ranking of their playing has any merit at all, who the fk am I? but I do believe they should know not what I think about them , rather tell them how much I enjoyed their gift, and I mean I am really entranced, and moved and its not often I feel passion in the accent and expression that is a signature of the truly engrossed artist, ...I think they'd rather hear how their talent affects me rather than my amateur and narcissistic judgement of their ability...did I manage to make that understandable? anyway, I waited or years to see him up close and personal, and seldom am I tongue tied, but I was lucky enough for a meet and greet, front row seat, and the bonus of his opening act Gareth Pearson... I have not been so totally engrossed, and the physiological response to the glorious , impossible sounds had moved me emotionally rapt, and to save myself from sobbing in my front row seat, I chose to excuse my self before the encore, and complete this cathartic orgasm , and not feel like a fool for leaving early, knowing that the following night, without meet and greet, I would be sitting the same distance from the artists, but in ft Lauderdale , and have a little more controlled reaction, knowing what was coming, I could allow myself to thoroughly enjoy the emotions, both energetic and positive, as well as the sad minor key things, when he spoke about losing his brother only a month after losinghis sister, the grief I feel for my dead brother got some wings during that song.....allowed myself to flow with the music and let myself feel the spirit. no matter sadness or joy, I enjoyed the fact that I can feel his music and allow myself to feel and know that its ok to be sad. I told him in the first two sentences, " I am Laurel, I am your new weirdo", and my hair was blue and I asked my hat and my jacket, and he asked why did I think I was a weirdo, because I am not typically moved by recorded music the way I responded to the first few YouT videos that I watched only happened with live music, and I had to wait 8 years to see what a live performance would do ...did I mention I am a diagnosed, "chronic empath"? but most important, as you said that led me to rite all this, sir, I only found out about you 8 or 9 years ago, and I am so glad because there are just a few things in my life I am truly glad to have known, that I didn't miss for my whole life,,, you are on that list... that was a great smile from him. so now I totally have a crush on him for making my girlish sentiment seem important. and now , II thought, what else have I been missing? there that is chapter one

Maton guitars are one of the best made guitars in the world today. And also, it doesn't matter what your skill level is at. As long as whatever you do with it brings you happiness, then that's all that matters. I hope Tommy's playing continues to inspire you to keep at it.

@@tommyemmanuelfanpage I've sold many guitars. I will never sell this one. Thanks

Go to one of his shows. He comes out afterwards to meet his fans. I have met him twice. Wow!

Agree
