Two interesting takes on a classic song. Ahh, another Izzie fan. I had never really cared for this song but Izzie's version really made me appreciate it. This version is nice also but Izzie's is unbelieveable. |
| bugleboy624 (Bluefield, WV) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:39 Very nicely done. Very soothing. I liked it. |
| Old_Pat (Belgium) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:38 A sublime take on a classic. |
| CCinSB (the west coast) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:38 This is really nice and making my mellow mood I am trying to keep here, even more mellow. |

| doc_dave (Edinburgh) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:37 Tommy Emmanuel is not only a genius acoustic guitarist, he is also one of the most entertaining musicians I have seen perform. The venue was Edinburgh's Usher Hall. Emmanuel was opening for Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. Out strolls this guy with an acoustic. "Bring on the band!", I'm thinking. Then he plays. It was magic. The variation in pace and content was astonishing. And the musical "jokes" made the whole audience laugh out loud. Lovely stuff. |
| vicariance | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:36 His guitar work is clearly impressive. But YAWN to the max. |

| kylemichael (Northern Virginia) | Posted: Feb 06, 2009 - 12:36 Suddenly I'm at a buffet in a hotel on Maui. The fat lady wears shows to her gray haired husband playing the guitar. |
| fuh2 (I think I'm in the USA) | Posted: Jan 05, 2009 - 20:55 We need more accoustic guitar instrumentals on RP but hopefully with faster tempo. |
| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Oct 03, 2008 - 04:03 Tommys' large body of work is well worth a look for those unfamiliar with his genius............. |

| donpdonp (Portland, Or) | Posted: Jul 31, 2008 - 23:18 this is JUST what i need right now... at the tail end of a stressful task late at night at work. then this comes on and wow. beautiful and soothing. |
| theanniewithin (US) | Posted: Jun 30, 2008 - 10:19 Lovely arrangement. Peace is found over the rainbow with Tommy Emmanuel.  |
| reason06 (Kansas City MO) | Posted: Jun 30, 2008 - 10:19 very very nice |

So, in your opinion, the only music worth listening to is music with vocals? |
| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Apr 28, 2008 - 11:20 It would be interesting to follow this with Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Over the Rainbow/What A Wonderful World" cover that he does. Two interesting takes on a classic song. |

Seconded |
| andrewimft | Posted: Mar 27, 2008 - 23:25 Reminds me of a Les Paul arrangement on this tune, though it has other elements and uniqueness and total mastery of the geeetar as harp in Emmanuel's mind blowing playing. I bet more people would like it if it wasn't Over the Rainbow. |
| kysmet (Discombobulation Nation) | Posted: Mar 27, 2008 - 23:24 excellent way to end my day... |
| californiatwin (6,500 miles from home) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:39 Australia's finest! |
| GungaDan (Hellas Basin) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:29 He is a really excellent guitar player, but at the end, this is just instrumental elevator music, and I would like to hear less of that on RP. None, in fact. |
| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:26 I have GOT to finally add this cd to my collection. Been looking at it a couple years. What a great piece. It costs about the same as 2 shares of Ford common stock. |
| BGGA (Atlanta, GA) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:18 What a lovely version to take the edge of of this craptasitic Monday afternoon. |
| On_The_Beach (Vancouver, Canada) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:18 I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar, but this one borders on mawkish. |
| p4jkafla (New England, USA) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:17 Lovin it.  |

I wish his studio work were as magnificent and mind-boggling as his live performances are. This does not do him justice. |
| AvoidingWork (Home of Big Boy #4004) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 11:17 I love Guitar. I wish I could play. It's on my list of things to learn. My first response at hearing the Over the Rainbow segment start was WOW!!! Thanks to Bill and who ever uploaded this.  |

I'm with you on this one. |
| raf | Posted: Oct 22, 2007 - 19:11 This guy playing this song is like when a ringer comes out to play in your pick-up hockey game, skates circles around everyone and score 20 goals. Or when they call out the F-16 to escort the Cessna 150 that strayed into restricted airspace. The F-16 would stall and fall out of the sky if it tried to fly as slow as the 150 at cruise speed. OK, I get it, he has mad guitar skillz. Maybe he should "pick on a song his own size." It sounds like this song is so easy for him that in his own head, he's simultaneously playing some other, unrelated, much more difficult song. |

Glad to see you're teaching your 18 year old quality thinking. Good song for a Friday afternoon especially as rainy as it is here. |
| pevend | Posted: Jul 20, 2007 - 12:36 Diddling around with a classic in this manner doesn't impress me. Let's hear Eva Cassidy's version! |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Jul 20, 2007 - 12:35 This is way too flowery for my taste. Too much embellishment is not a good thing in my book. The guy does play the guitar really well though. |
