You may never play as well as Tommy or Mike but there is one thing you can do as well as them. You can ENJOY your playing (no matter your skill level) as much as they do! So enjoy what you can do and continue to learn. Be blessed.
Hallo from Russia! Good music knows no divisions either by religion or by tracks. I'm singing now, we speak the same language - the language of music and meanings!
Them doing shows is fine, but Mike and Tommy SHOULD record an ALBUM together. 20 songs, the ultimate acoustic experience. Please Mike and Tommy, do that.
I can imagine. Tommy's attitude is every so humble. Just a great guy who happens to play the guitar virtuously, but that's not worth mentioning, if you'd ask Tommy, I'm sure. ☺
@@anoniem7062 So very true!!! He's just out there doing what he absolutely loves ... and is doing it HIS way!!! So glad he never compromised his talent!
I met Tommy and John Knowles when the played together at the Birchmere in VA a few years back. I dragged my sister along and she loved it! We had the chance to speak with these great musicians after the concert. So generous with their time and good nature. Wonderful, special people.
I'm a musician and I'm a good guitar player. The quality of that performance is totaly out of this world! I listended both of you on different videos, I take some Tommy's lecons on Internet, but the chemistry of you two is beautifull. Love you guys 🙂
Yep i like to think i have some measure of musical insight. I too play, (badly by their standards ) however these two have an unbelievable congruence utterly astounding and humble with it.
I love starting at 1:17 - 1:22 , Mike played a passing chord that added a different feel for Tommy and Mike's face was like "hmm that worked out!" Tommy looks over and responds with "yeah that was nice!" You can tell they truly love what they're doing, makes me smile.
its unbelievable the amazing palette of sounds an acoustic guitar can project when played by gifted musicians. Most people only do basic chords or only use it to acompany themselves while singing. When you see this performance you start to get why the manufactures care so much for the selection of the woods, the strings quality, the sonority, all the engineering and craftmanship dedicated to a guitar is destined for perfomances like this.
TommyE, the most sensitive banjo player in all the Southern States lol..... I love when 2 amazing musician compliment one another without some kind of competition to establish dominance!! Bravo
It's a blast to see two accomplished masters bounce off each other so vibrantly. Dawes is clearly comfortable in the percussive/bass/rythym role, which I think must highlight his achievements as a solo artist. Tommy needs no encouragement to fly across the canvas that Dawes gives him. An amazing partnership.
You two are beyond incredible!! You play together perfectly, so clean and right on time! Much respect and great appreciation for your music! Thanks! 🙏🏻
That's it I am putting my electric back in the case and putting my acoustic back on the stand . Just to stare at it and imagine I could be as good as these two.❤
Tommy has always been one of those guys who I know I'll never in a million years be as good as, but I'm totally fine with that, and Mike is just mind blowing everytime I see him play, these are 2 of the best, surely. Good for the soul.
Saw both of these guys in Bend, Oregon late 2022. Then I ran into Tommy while he was in line to buy a muffin at SeaTac airport in late February. I was heading to Italy and he was headed to London "to be grandad" - which, it seems, was the same trip that this performance was filmed over. Super nice, down to earth. I almost asked for a photo with him, but decided not to be that guy, and instead just thanked him for being so inspiring. What a treat to meet the legend in person.
This is fabulous and outstanding! Two wonderful musicians and fantastic human beings playing together. Now i‘m looking totally forward see them together on stage in April
Every time I see and hear Tommy Emmanuel I leave dazed and dazzled. He's a good example of the fact that there is no such thing as "The Greatest Guitarist". Just a bunch of people that bring their unique talents for us all to enjoy.
Tommy's fingers look so calm, like anyone should be able to do this, Mike's fingers often look alien, like no one else could do this. (Like Bucket Head) They're both amazing.
It's amazing how these two never paint themselves into a corner when they are improvising, without getting out of it and never letting you know they were there.
Oh my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you guys for real? wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lost for words, you just made the totally impossible, possible, well possible to listen to , thank you sooooooooooooo much , Barry, humble Irish guitarist songwriting singer
What beautiful playing. Guitar Village is such a great guitar shop. I travelled a few 100 miles there to get a bucket list acoustic about 15 years ago, because I knew they had all the ones I wanted to try, and would be able to play them side by side. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating, and I got a Martin D28 that still fills my heart with joy whenever I pick it up. Love those guys, and love that store.
Just Magical Guy's, musical perfection, you Don't need ANYTHING ELSE ( horns piano- nothing) just 2 Well Played acoustic guitars. Cheers guys just old Don here from Hamilton NZ on my Wife's tablet-SUSAN 😮😮😮
Improvisational guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel,are few and far between. I'd give my eye teeth to just sit and TRY to play with/against him for just five minutes. These two are in a category of their own.It was a pleasure just Listening to this video. Thank you😊
This was a true treat. Both unbelievable guitarists but what makes them truly great is their humility and ability to have fun. Thanks, gentlemen, for what you do and I wish you both many years of incredible joy doing what you enjoy.
this is absolutely incredible the level of communication between these two is near perfect... nothing but the truth...Beautiful. the best of what we can be in cooperation wiht one another like the birds and the bees
You two play amazing together and it's truly hard to find someone who compliments your style you two mesh perfect I play but you two are awsome love it
They need to tour. I'd find money I don't have to fly to see them. Actually fuck that - Tommy needs to bring Mike to Australia. Show him where it started. And I don't need to leave the country :P
