@@JoschoStephan You're not gonna believe this but I just now watched this video and came here to reply that I actually did get goosebumps watching , and listening to , this video . I wish you guys had found each other years ago , do you think that you may do a complete dvd or cd ?
There is a debate about whether the Beatles music will endure or simply become a historical curiosity. I think they will still be having that debate 100 years from now as fine musicians such as these rediscover the beauty, complexity and emotional resonance that it contains.
I can just picture George looking down from his well earned place in Heaven and thinking, did I really write that? A beautiful composition played with loving care and astonishing skill.
ester betheone Joscho is much younger and I’ve seen them play together when Joscho wasn’t as good yet. I think the fact he isn’t from a rom/gypsy background must have made it harder for him to get recognition. But he’s really talented
Joscho is one the best on earth, that’s for sure. I think he’s less famous because gypsy jazz bring less audience, but he’s truly unique, has his own musique and truly sounds marvelous. Every solo on each of his covers are so outstanding.
Un groupe de génies, un morceau intemporel, et voilà les Beatles sublimés par deux virtuoses. 2 styles différents et pourtant complémentaires. Un mariage heureux. Vous me ravissez.
listening to Tommy itself always felt like freedom, a guitar and getting kissed by the sun. now that is playing with others, the sun is feeling brighter
I have watched a few collaborations between Tommy and Joscho over the last few days while being stuck in Covid lockdown and I have to say, even with my limited knowledge of guitar playing and musical theory, this arrangement is astonishingly good. I love how their contrasting styles complement each other and it seems there is a strong mutual respect between the 2 artists. It's not hard to recognise genius when it slaps you in the face like this.
I have had the absolute great pleasure to work with Tommy at least a dozen times over the past twenty years (seen him perform at least 20 or more). I get to be a part of the video crew when we've produced shows here in Northern California (Chico/Sacramento/Grass Valley/Jacksonville, Or) and it never gets old!!! And as great a performer he is.... Tommy's even a better person. Cheers "Digger"!! ;)
Dear Joscho, we have a word in Turkish which is "tuşe". It can simply defined as the perfect harmony of your touches to your instrument. Everyone hits the same note, but the effect it creates on people is different and this is explained by "tuşe" in our language. The feelings, the perfect timing, the sensitive touch... And your "tuşe" is incredibly perfect...
My God, this is wonderful. I cry when I think of my times to play guitar. Never been so perfect and now my wrist is broken and I cannot move my fingers anymore...I love you both and your virtuality.
I feel your pain, Hermann -- I've broken BOTH wrists; can move my fingers, but have lost half the use of my left hand. . . as one fan noted on another song by these two, listening to them inspires me to SELL my guitars!
Lightning fast and perfectly played every note. Extremely melodic on the slow note, both guitarists are out of this world. I am running out of adjectives to complement them.
Wow!!! Makes me feel like I'm on the moon now. 2:48onwards is HEAVEN!!!!!!!! Tommy's magical hands doing what they do best. Cheers to the two wonderful beings who share so much passion. God bless them always!!!!! 😊
Good God!! You guys are amazing. Such a great arrangement. Such great moments for improvisation and Tommy added that harmonic section!! Unbelievable technique, execution and extremely heartfelt!! Thank you for inspiring us all to greater heights!!
perhaps they hear / feel as myself. There is no question both these men are masters. However, for me, their interpretation of the song is simply wrong .
Wow, bringing out the best in each other to produce bluesy flourishes which enhance a great song even further! So good to see/hear Tommy get to play the guitar so purely.
What a Great interpretation of a lovely song ! I've seen Tommy a number of times here in Knoxville Tennesee, He's just Amazing, and Humble and down to earth and so are you, Joscho. Hope to see you soon.
I've never seen Tommy play slow lead guitar without doing a Chet Atkins type of thing and taking on the responsibility of bass rhythm guitar and lead guitar. It's actually very refreshing to see him play with such feeling and such note choice. He can do it all and at a very high if not the highest level. I know it's futile to talk about the best guitar player ever but if you want to talk about technical ability in its purest form with no parlor tricks, or one-trick pony type technical skill such as the best alternate Pickers of the best economy Pickers for the best hybrid Pickers, the best legado players the best two handed tappers Etc Tommy can do everything on electric and acoustic and two breathtaking things does that require a level of skill that most people could spend a lifetime trying to obtain and wouldn't even come close. This type of feel and Technical ability obviously require thousands of hours of focused practice but when you look at the fact that his brother was able to do the same thing you have to count the role of genetics and talent into this equation. I'm not a big believer in talents for most of the best players even though they have certain talents that most people don't they had to work very hard to get where they and I think Tommy had to work very hard to but the difference is that Tommy had to work hard at things that other people couldn't begin to think about ever doing. he is the most phenomenal guitar player if not the most phenomenal musician I've ever seen when it comes to Raw ability and honed Craftsman. There might be better songwriters, or a Rangers but I've never seen anybody that can do what he can do and I'm pretty sure she can do just about anything anybody else can do if given an opportunity the only people who I consider close to his level of dominating the instrument are people like Allan Holdsworth, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert Guthrie Govan, Chet Atkins, Derek Trucks, Rick Graham and maybe some country cats like the late Danny Gatton I am not referring to anything other than the ability to do things that other people simply cannot do. I am not talking. about great Arrangements great moments on albums or grape solos despite how flashing awesome they are I'm talking like guys who can pick up an acoustic and electric plugged into a solid state bone dry amp and just make music regardless of the gear regardless of the setting at any moment. Very few professional musicians are that competent.
I feel you should maybe reconsider your sentence ''close to his level...............'' which then names people such as Chet Atkins. Maybe check out Richard Smith playing The Entertainer in front of Tommy Emmanuel at a tribute gig for Chet Atkins ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RCGGG9piAGY.html
I continue to be just blown away, honestly amazed at the beauty of this set between these two. I can’t get enough, and will forever come back to listen to this performance! Thank you for capturing and sharing this masterpiece!
Супер!!! Томми Эммануэль спасибо Вам!!! Вы мой заряд энергетический!!!!!Дай бог Вам Здоровья!!!!! Super!!! Tommy Emmanuel thank you !!! You are my energy charge !!!!! May God grant you Health !!!!!
Beautiful... beautiful...I want to play like you guys, but I am 63 "It's a lesson too late for learning.." one particular song said that. You're both great!!!!!
As another long-time player in his 60’s, I can agree that learning new approaches takes more time and effort now than it did 40 years ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Even though my brain isn’t as flexible now when it comes to developing muscle memory and ingesting new concepts, I also know that I have more mental discipline now, as well as a more tightly-focused notion of what I want to achieve. I’m a better player now than I was when I was 25; even though my arthritic fingers can’t move nearly as quickly, I have a larger vocabulary than I did then, as well as a clearer feel for what’s happening (theory-wise) and a more relaxed approach to soloing, one that serves the song more appropriately. Plus, I’m a better listener now than I was then. If you think about it, all of this is probably true of you as well; it’s the net result of long experience. Knowing your limitations is important. Just don’t ever let the fact that you have limitations convince you that you can’t work around them.
