Members jonny guitar Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Tommy Emmanuel playing Beatles medley - starts off slow and really starts to get good at 1/3 in when he does Elenor Rigby and Daytripper. Kinda makes me wonder why I need anything other than my Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dangerous dan Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Originally posted by jonny guitar Kinda makes me wonder why I need anything other than my Martin. But you need both !! Having a really nice acoustic guitar witha great sound is a great compliment to a big dirty effects rig with loads of modulation, delay and overdrive.. There is some great playing on that videao clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangerous dan Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 The playing on the last 30 seconds is {censored}ing awesome !!!!! :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 He's a master of that dual line thing (the bass and melody together). Quite simply one of the best acoustic guitarists ever. When he does use simple effects (bit of delay, bit of dirt) he sounds hot too. Sad that some of his abums are a snore. When he's on, he's untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4Kenoath Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Tommy regularly uses reverb and delay (eg "Initiation") with his acoustic, although it's often uneffected. When playing his tele, he's used TS pedals, trem (Demeter), delay (Boss DD-3 I think), and probably one or two others I can't think of. It certainly makes travelling light.

Members Seth Carmody Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 His brother Phil Emmanuel played an electric set during a school lunchbreak about 10 years back. He didn't really endear himself to us though because he prefaced pretty much every song he played with ''those bands you like, Metallica and whatever, couldn't play this to save themselves'.. err..

Hi Phil I had a bunch of non-guitar playing friends go see Phil at the Storey Bridge Hotel here in Bris, and they all hated him. Thought he was an arrogant wanker. Very good guitarist, but perhaps in the wrong country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Tommy has been a success in part cause he comes across as a nice bloke. Only once have I seen him get grumpy (incidentally when touring with Phil he was surly). Tommy was a Midiverb user from way back, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only once have I seen him get grumpy (incidentally when touring with Phil he was surly).Tommy was a Midiverb user from way back, IIRC. i recall tommy getting stroppy with phil at a gig in sydney. the comment I remember after yet another set was starting late because phil was at the bar was, "this is sydney phil, you don't have to buy the crowd drinks." as others have noted, tommy does use effects. with his electric rig he often uses a nobels overdrive. he doesn't play acoustic because of some anti-effects, or anti-electric position. he mostly plays acoustic these days because being a solo act lets him play lots more gigs with fewer overheads and logisitical issues. i saw his setup for a gig in london a couple of years back and it was one of the quickest and most stress-free setups i have ever seen. also he tends to record his solo albums very fast and very live. by contrast, a lot of his earlier electric records suffer from spending too long ion the studio and being too perfectionistic. this is probably why his best albums are his recent solo acoustic ones.

Members Seth Carmody Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Anyone remember his little protege - Nathan Cavaleri? I had a CD he recorded with Jimi Barnes when I was a kid that I think I got out of a Vita Brits box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Nathan Cavaleri now plays in the Dirty Skanks. They play porn-rock 'get down, go 'head, get down'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fernmeister Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Dirty skanks doesn't sound good, I'm sure that after a couple of bottles of cheap scotch, the idea behind Dirty Skanks sounded wonderful. After all, all that the world needs is a bunch of wannabe pimps with pube-beards pretending to be tough and playing dirty, sleazy, filthy rock and roll! Most of us would have passed out from the excessive alcohol consumption, and woke up the next morning with a colossal hangover and no memories of the previous night, but not the guys behind this band, oh no! They've committed the cardinal sin of following through with an idea that they got when they were drunk/high, and now the results have been released for the entire world to hear. As far as I can tell, the only reason why Dirty Skanks' demo CD isn't serving coaster duty at some record company is the fact that they've got Nathan Cavaleri out the front of the bad. Yes, that's right, Nathan Cavaleri, that snotty nosed little child-guitar-prodigy that you haven't thought about for the last decade. It's interesting to see what ten years of being a washed-up child star has done to poor Nathan's psyche, because no serious musician with any hope of a decent career would put his or her name to a project like this one. Also aboard is Col Hatchman, who apparently has played drums for The Screaming Jets. Actually listening to "Voluptuosity" is akin to watching Dicko from "Australian Idol" attempt to do stand-up comedy. At times, things become so over the top, that I can't help but feel that this is a parody of bad 80s sleaze-metal, but it's done with such misguided conviction that I don't think so. Poor Cavaleri growls and blusters his way through the songs, apparently trying to sound like some kind of sweaty, hairy, ladies man, although he ends up sounding more like a pimply-faced teenager trying to pick up a hirsute wench at a sailor's bar... the rest of the review is here.

Members 4Kenoath Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 Lol...Nathan Cavaleri... ...is he still alive? I just assumed we hadn't heard anything from him for years because he took a dirty hit of heroin. could still happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
