Here’s a great version of Tommy Emmanuel playing Guitar Boogie. The first time I saw him play this song it blew my mind, seeing what he does with an acoustic guitar. This clip is taken from a concert he did in St. Louis.
It’s great to see how comfortable Tommy is onstage and playing that guitar, cracking jokes the whole time.
Guitar Boogie is basically a 12 bar E blues… with a few frills.
I think if you watch closely enough, you’ll probably see the kitchen sink in there somewhere.
Unfortunately the video isn’t terribly big on closeups, but if nothing else, I hope you’re motivated watching Tommy Emmanual rip through this version of Guitar Boogie.

Tommy is just so freakin awesome. Gotta love Tommy.Thanks for the vid.

Tommy is like the Australian Leo Kottke. Every time I see him He blows me away. It just looks effortless when he does that, he takes the simplest ideas and turns them into OMG fantastic arrangements. Thanks for the treat.
