- "This Guitar's In Love With You" is a 16-song album of guitar arrangements of Burt Bacharach's greatest songs. Burt himself requested Tommy to arrange "Close To You" after hearing his arrangement of "Winnie The Pooh" on the Sherman Brothers' album, "Poppin' Guitars".

The joy on his face while he plays...
I'd be a pretty happy camper too, if my playing sounded anything like that! :)
Oh, and the joy on MY face while he plays...
After all those years... he still loves it.
God bless you brother.........
Best guitarist in the world.
See Raphael Rabello.
+Steven Altern Why? I'm talking about technique, composition, repertoire etc. It isn't about taste.
+sister hoyo it's taste
Its personal preference big boy, chill
Tommy is certainly a master of technique, spontaneity, musical wit, taste, and power. His notes are classy. But not the best because there is no best. Just enjoy his music, and consider other possibilities too.
In my opinion, it is better to think of a "Council Of Genuises" rather than a single best. For example, in 1975 in terms of rock guitar, my council would include Brian May, Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson, Tom Scholz, and Tommy Shaw and James Young. I'm sure others could create other councils.
Undoubtedly, he's the guy who knows every nook and corner of a guitar. Salute.
If you listen very carefully you can hear the best parts start at 0:01 and stop 3:02
Goodbye Burt! This is one of the most beautiful renditions of his compositions...
As Joe Satriani says, the best acoustic player in the world.
Scott Waszak Yep, and Steve Vai said the first time he saw Tommy perform he sat in stunned silence.
tcfunvids I believe Steve Vai once said, "There's no greatest guitarist, but nobody is better than Tommy Emmanuel".
I'm sure Vai has made several complimenting comments about Tommy.
What a great comment to make. Tommy is beyond amazing. Just goes to show what talent and a lot of bleedin hard work does.
The best guitarist full stop. One of a kind
Tommy's playing is cleaner than soap, how he does it, I have no idea.
Sam Braverman Practice.
And lots of talent
Sam Braverman I think it's the other way around. A little bit of talent, and insane ammounts of Practice, talent alone won't make you this good.
***** I see no problem with Tommy. And I agree fully, tallent is sometimes crucial in some arts, but i know from experience, that people who don't hone their talents are nothing without it, THAT is what i'm pointing at. I spent insane ammount of hours on my Guitar Practice, over 10h daily, i have NO tallent and it takes THIS much to be at MOST average. Also, if you from sheer practice get to the point of Tommy without tallent, it's much more Fullfilinf than, if you had any tallent at all.
I think it takes a lot of talent to be able to practice for over 10 hours a day.
Tommy born with guitar on hand
in 2024, still amazing...!!
My favorite part of this masters playing is how he always shows the joy he gets from making this amazing music. Maybe the happiest guy working, no matter the gig. Thank God for putting this fellow on the Earth during my lifetime.
형님 건강하시고 오래오래 좋은연주 들려주세요
Maybe if we all pitch in a couple of months Tommy will live another few hundred years.
Haha.....lovely thought 👍
I'd gladly give a year for this legend to live longer
Id give 5 years
He plays like other people breath - this can't be taught, it is who he is.
1:18 He can't help but singing out a little bit! I love it!
sometimes I think it's actually part of the performance?
1:26 also
He does on a good number of his recordings too. hehe.
And at times does his signature laugh at the the end of tracks, especially those 'fun', up-tempo tracks :)
i knoww! he's so adorable!
love it
I don’t watch this around my guitar
Ha.
😂
thx for good advice
you made my day with that comment!
I caught my guitar strumming itself to this video :(
legend still 2024
I do believe my eyes started leaking there for a moment.
When I watch other great guitarists play, I don't feel the same way as when I watch Tommy's play. There is something else about his playing. I love it.
Right true i agree
The truly great ones incorporate all the styles and tricks they learn over the years and make them their own. They are not trying to play like someone else. They have their own stamp and stand on the top of their own mountain.
Only a handful have ever reached this level of mastery out of the sea of talented pickers.
He is incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about the music he is playing. And he is able to transfer that excitement into playing. THAT is a very rare talent!
That's called feel
Tommy is an absolute master musician. He OWNS that guitar. It is one thing to play an instrument and quite another to completely master it. As everyone can also see, he feels the music while he's playing and gets lost in it. Tommy has brought me many hours and hours of listening pleasure. It's quite rare to come across these types of master musicians. My father was one. He was a jazz accordionist and fairly obscure, but in his time was considered the best jazz accordionist in the world. It was my father who taught me to appreciate great musicians, like Tommy Emmanuel.
+brabanthallen Hoe heette jouw vader dan?
Mathi De Pauw Mijn step-vader. Hij heette Dick Bailey. Hij gespeeld in Washington DC voor veele jaaren. Ik ben een Amerikaanse man getrouwd met een Nederlandse vrouw.
and like many master musicians, he has played by ear from early childhood .. he'd listen to the records or the radio and work them out with his brother Phil .. he cant read music and who would want to when you play like he does ..
I agree. It is one thing to have a guitar on loan or hire-purchase but if you own it outright, then that is an entirely different level of being a guitarist.
This guitarist is outside of time
It's his BEST arrangement of them ALL!
Look at this mans face. THAT, ladies and gentlemen is what love looks like.
One of the Masters of our time.
let the guitar sing! Tommy plays and sings.
Oh he started singing a little. He sounds good! I’d like to hear him play and sing.
One of the best songs ever written, he knows and he loves it, so he feels like it's making love with music
pause
I listened to the beautiful performance
It’s my favorite music
It‘s so sweet 💜
R.I.P My DAD ☝️❤️🙏
A Master..............................
This guy is simply amazing - these songs become refreshed and amazing when he hits the strings.
Somebody said here “ What this old Guitar may have seen in life “ !
She not only plays , but sings like no other can do it , at Tommy Emmanuel ‘s heart and touch . ❤️
8 years...what a time
비가 내리는 날 우산속에 사랑하는 사람과 함께 이어폰을 나눠꽂고 걸어가며 듣고싶은 노래
I love seeing the joy on Tommy's face every time he plays guitar.
Maybe he is covering up the pain. His fingers on those steel strings must be killing him.
I'm gonna finally be confident say. Tommy Emmanuel is the single greatest guitar player to ever touch a guitar. Any one video is not worthy of what he can do. And no genre can stump him. He truly has not only all the knowledge of Allan Holdsworth but the emotion of Clapton, the guts of Johnny Cash and the more talent than all of the 80s combined. And I'm sticking to that.
Thank you for honoring Mr. Bacharach and David by bringing this beautiful version of the song to us......what artistry👏
Oh....not to forget The Carpenters🎸
Could be only guitar players really know how great this song was played.
Only a Man who sincerely loves could play this way! Так мог сыграть только Человек, который искренне любит!
Today I just happened to come across this beautiful mesmerizing renditions of the Carpenters " Close to you" My eyes were glued half through until I fell into a peaceful easy feeling , then closing my eyes and sailed away. That was awesome. One of the best versions you're going to hear. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind I'll do the same thing❤
Close to you allways
He played guitar like he always is happy with smile all the time
If Heaven has a soundtrack I bet this is on it.
Michael C yes propably at the big escalator 😀
@@TheCodeTinkerer or elevator 😂
One of THE best Carpenters songs played so well by an AMAZING guitarist named Tommy Emmanuel!!!😎🖒
This is such a great melody. Nobody does it like Burt and Tommy!
that sound! this is the most clear guitar's sound that I ever heard
I've got the same model Tommy plays the clarity of the notes is like Hifi definition..the rest is talent :)
It's because of the maple back and sides of his guitar - it is know for clarity and bright tone.
One of the best fingerstyle players ever. What most people dont know he's self tought!!#
Tommy doesn't arrange music.
He rearranges it using his magical powers.
I often imagine Tommy playing on the beach on a sunny day with some gentle ocean breezes, the gulls, maybe a couple of 'roos 🙂 ~
The groove damn
Awesome. Don’t care who or how old you are, it’s really hard not to start singing with a Bacharach masterpiece!
Beautiful sound! This song is special one for me. It reminds me of my first love when I was a middle school boy. Now I'm over 60 but it still sounds so good to me.
Some are good. Others are better. But darn, this guy is just THE BEST.
Burt Bacharach. Can't go wrong with Burt's genius song writing.
Great work by Tommy and the soundguy
Karen Carpenter is looking down, and singing through his guitar.😇
I love this excellent video of the wonderful Tommy Emmanuel, in which both picture and sound quality are great. It is unlike so many music videos on CZcams which are mediocre to poor quality for whatever reason and don't portray the artist or their music with the quality presentation and respect they deserve.. Thank you for posting this and other beautiful gems Tommy.
Fabulous
Look at his face, he reeeeeally loves his craft, how nice :3
Another great performance by this wonderful musician! Thank You
this fingerstyle guitar song is the best thing I've ever watched on youtube
There is no one better. When you transcend technique and theory it becomes music.
T.E.: the man who never met a passing chord that he could pass up. For us, I should say, that is a very good thing.
Man i still hearing this fingerstyle, and yet..still amazing!
Best fingerstyle guitarist
I like this ❤ Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
I love to see a guitarist enjoy playing his guitar, its like adding soul to the sound. So beautiful, so much respect grandpa
He's a classical guitar player with a steel string guitar player's heart
Actually I think it makes more sense the other way around
WE HAVE A TOMMY EMANUEL, THANK YOU JESUS
Every touch has soul
This guys a musical genius
He sure is JT---Just saw him in concert in Hartford,CT. I was awestruck!
The desert is dry
I'm a metalhead but sometimes this acoustic versions are so amazing
He and the guitar are one 😌
Marvelous!
the most relaxing fingerstyle ive heard
Потом, через десятки лет, мы будем гордиться, что жили в "эпоху Томми". Спасибо тебе за твой талант!
Listening to this today at 2.30am thinking of my uncle who passed a few years back. Lovely!
Tommy you are great 👍 I been playing since 1966 a d still no good when I first heard you I wanted burn my guitar 😢 but I didnt
I just had the amazing chance to have front row seats for one of his performances. I was transfixed the entire performance. He has such amazing control over his guitar and he even has a wonderful stage presence. Truly wonderful
To the 600 who gave this a thumbs down - PLAY IT BETTER AND POST IT! Let's see it!
I love Tommy Emmanuel
This song shows the deep pool of love in his heart.
Tommy, you slay me. Every freakin' note. Every glorious slide. Every perfectly timed harmonic.
Bacharach's music is very expressive and full of deep feeling. I love your arrangement and interpretation Tommy.
心地よい時間
Man wow, the best acoustic guitarist of the world.
I love the skill with which Tommy positions his hand so that he can pick the notes and chords with relative ease... And sound pretty. (When I try it, it sounds like I am administering an enema to an angry baboon...🤭)..
😂😂😂
Beautiful, I love the sound. The guitar isn't just played, it's orchestrated.
Jingle crivvens an a help ma boab, that is other worldly. Astonishing technique
ah! a fellow Scot. I agree completely, he's got to be the best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard.
The happiest guitarist in the world.
毎日聴きにきちゃう。こういう曲ギター１本で弾けるのすごくかっこいい。
He looks so happy playing it :)
Certified Guitar Player
god of guitar fingerstyle
1:18 when you only want to do is fingerstyle, but you feel your beautiful arrangement and started to sing. Amazing Tommy Emmanuel! 👏🙌
So stunning, effortless yet so complex. Amazing Tommy 😍
That run at 1:50! Wow!
The King of melody ladies and gentlemen Mr. Burt Bacharach
