Fretboard Journal Live: Tommy Emmanuel and John Knowles 

Two great guitarists. Most folks don't realize John Knowles also has a PhD in Physics. WOW!

that "somewhere" brought some tears, I swear...

John Knowles is such a solid island of sound, you can safely anker up and visit his island of smooth sound and beautiful music. TM. Stellar as always.

Thank you Tommy and John, you guys are unbelievable guitar player and thanks for the video

Beautiful to hear one of my favorite songs "Somewhere" played so exquisitely on the guitars-lovely arrangement!

I really am looking forward to their album together....TE has come a very long way and never stops learning ....so cool

"we're stealing from anyone any chance we get" lol genius

Beautiful beyond words...

Notice how when Tommy harmonizes his melodies he slightly staggers the notes one after the other so it naturally sounds like 2 separate guitarists.

Just beautiful!

Wow! Love this playing!!!

00:49 ''Somewhere (There's A Place for Us)", from the musical 'West Side Story' (Leonard Bernstein/Steven Sondheim) 04:25 interview 23:14 "It's Never Too Late" (Tommy Emmanuel)

Would love to hear these guys play "Sails."

THIS JOURNEY IS MY OWN - a song by SARA GROVES When I stand before the Lord, I'll be standing alone This journey is my own Still I want man's advice, and I need man's approval This journey is my own Why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price What does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life So much of what I do is to make a good impression This journey is my own And so much of what I say is to make myself look better But this journey is my own And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life And I have never felt relief like I feel it right now This journey is my own Cuz trying to please the world, it was breaking me down It was breaking me down And now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Now I live and I breathe for an audience of one Cuz I know this journey is my own And why would I want to live for man, and pay the highest price And what does it mean to gain a whole world, only to lose my life And you can live for someone else, and it will only bring you pain I can't even judge myself, only the Lord can say, 'Well done.' Oh, this journey is my own

The best duo since Chester & Lester

great interview .... I don't to often hear John speaking

Tommy alwais de best.. very good sound

I like how they're referred to as "fingerstyle greats" I mean, they are, but I think that's a bad approximation of what they really are as musicians. They are first musicians: artists. Then guitar players, and then guitar players who play with their fingers (or not: tommy plays all kinds of styles and technique's, and is seen with a pick in his hands about as often as a thumb pick)

good artists!

Ribbon mic for Tommy And cardioid for john !!!!!

I doubt if they'll ever find a satisfactory conclusion and I hope they don't. Improvisational talent and innate feel take quite a few years and then some to achieve if ever. We should appreciate the fact that groundbreaking guitarists were around in our timeframe and love our serendipity.

new solo album this september? here's my money

16:36

What kind of microphones are you using on set?

6 jealous jerks actually took the time to give this amazing video a thumbs down.
