Watching this is fascinating…they are not performing a show. They are playing with and for each other. Richard is working out a harmony part with Tommy’s assistance. As an amateur guitar player, watching this is amazing. I actually made me a little emotional.😍
Smith was born in Beckenham, England. He picked up the guitar when he was five years old after watching his father playing an Atkins and Travis version of "Down South Blues". He begged his father, a longtime Atkins admirer, to introduce him to the fingerpicking style. Smith soon became a child prodigy on the guitar. At the age of 11 he shared the stage with his idol when Atkins invited Smith to play with him at Her Majesty's Theatre in London.
Daugherty r 22 When Tommy was playing Mr Smiths guitar I noticed what appeared to be a unique nut on that guitar. Perhaps it was some sort of capo , but I really couldn't tell. Can you shed any light on that ? Thanks and thanks for that quick bio.
@@thearabianmage thanks. I thought of that but thought it might have been there for a specific purpose other than to just sit there waiting to be used. I was thinking could it possibly be some sort of custom made capo that was secured just below the nut , in order to utilize the whole fretboard. You know , as opposed to putting it on the second or third etc.
Akira, you were destined to be there with your camera that evening. Just imagine that these seven video clips had not been filmed. I dread too. These gifted men are in their element, playing informally in each other's company and you informally captured the moment to perfection. To say that I am grateful would be an understatement. Thank you for a treasure.
you dont need to imagine. you can hear the rest of the crowd just busy chattering on their issues. what i don't understand what these people go guitar retreat when they actually dont listen..or perhaps it was a break. and I'm quick to judge...
Sitting there with my mouth open realizing how truly wonderful these guys really are..Thanks Tommy for all the listening pleasure you have given me over the years
It's remarkable the encyclopedia of songs that run through these guys minds... It just never seems to end and, regardless of the number of players that jump in to join them, they all know what part they will play instantly.
Fascinating to see a couple of top pro's working together to do their thing: perfecting. So relaxed, yet not being able to resist just one more run through, only stopping when satisfied it's right. And the genius Tommy as always, so generous, and so happy, whenever wherever, so long as there's a guitar involved. Thanks for posting - great to see.
It seems as if TE is having a good time. He's not. Oh, I'm sure he actually believes he is having fun, but he's not. TE only "thinks" he is happy. Poor soul.
This makes me remember some years ago, when me and a friend would just hang out and play for hours and hours, and mostly our conversations were literally like this hahahah. So much fun!! Ofc we we're not playing NEARLY at this level of play, but it was a blast! Watching this two monsters playing is just wonderful!
TWO MAGIC MUSICIANS ! GOD HAS CREATED THE LAWS OF MUSIC AND HARMONY - just to show us a little bit of PARADISE .but he also let us know , that the way to the PARADISE OF MUSIC is a hard one . greetings from Germany to TOMMY und RICHARD !
When, oh when, will these two genuine Guitar Monsters collaborate on a joint album? I can't begin to imagine the mind-blowing arrangements they would come up with!
Thanks for putting this on youtube Akira as I wanted to be there but had family commitments. Just loved watching the pros jam. Always wanted to learn 'Deed I do' and Richard Smith showed the terrific chords in my singing key. Awesome!
I’m fascinated by what must have been a historically significant moment as this video captured a room full of the most oblivious human beings to have ever been gathered in one audience.
Very cool Akira! I see you've been hard at work on the body of your Custom Shop guitar!!!! Well wear mate and looking forward to meeting you when I'm down under at the beginning of 2020 !
I loved this!! I wish so much they could have played with the Buena Vista Social Club! I love that music so much ... wonder if these guys have ever played Cuban traditional before? I’d die to hear them play that!!!
Wish there were more of these videos, two masters working out a tune, giving and taking, no ego bull. This, in my experience, is rare, the majority of musicians are esurient, stingy and selfish. Great video.
This is such a great video for so many reasons. Both Richard and Tommy view each other as players, not rivals. They appear to genuinely like each other. The mutual respect is very obvious to all. The best part for me was when they get going on Muskrat Ramble (not One Mint Julep). I closed my eyes and I could both see and hear Chet and Jerry. My heart skipped a few beats. Wouldn't it be great if Rich and Tommy made a pair of duet albums together, ala the two memorable 70s Chet and Jerry albums? "Me and Tommy" and "Me and Richard"? Thank you, Mr. Satoyoshi, for this magnificent video!
Akira you must have been stoked that, first Tommy is playing your guitar, and then Richard Smith comes over and asks to play your guitar! Whoa! Sugoi desu ne. Shinji aranai desu ne.

It does not get better than this ! Two of the finest guitar-entertainers in the world jamming . So sweet music . I`ll never get tired of this . 😉🤩

Kenny Bluet pretty sure it’s a capo he rests behind the nut when he’s not using it.

He Is Amazing AGE 5 I feel he Must Of Been Musicaly Gifted In A Prior Life & This will Continue A Pure Genius

I can imagine anyone in the room not being captivated by these 2 gifted players. They may never hear this excellent level live ever

They collaborate so well together. They may be the only pickers in the world that can keep up with each other.
I could just sit there and listen to them jam all afternoon!
Wow, two legends together! Guitar shredders of highest caliber. I d could listen to them all day long!
Such a pleasure to watch Tommy and big bear Richard play!!!!
Sitting there with my mouth open realizing how truly wonderful these guys really are..Thanks Tommy for all the listening pleasure you have given me over the years
Well said.

Thank you. Glad you like it!
Such a joy to see and hear two great musicians in their prime.
Unreal talent, unreal communication, just so great to watch.
Tommy always projects that he's having a really good time with his music!
It seems as if TE is having a good time. He's not. Oh, I'm sure he actually believes he is having fun, but he's not. TE only "thinks" he is happy. Poor soul.
Just a couple of world-class virtuosos messing around. Fabulous!
TE is so quick to hand over, to share his guitar - just astonishing. TE stands out as the humble best of the two.
The guitar belonged to another guy though
The guitar belonged to the Cameraman Akira and you heard Tommy politely ask if it was OK for Richard to use it
@@livb6945
Just goes to show ya that even the very best players can still learn something new and are tickled when they do! It made their day.
They like that ending so much, that they can not stop playing it. 🤗
It's one of my favourite videos. Two fantastic players learning from each other.
My two favorite living guitarists.
I smiled, laughed, stomped my foot and slapped my thigh. What fun...Thank You gentlemen!!
Definitely tapping my foot
This video is so great for any músic lover! Tommy Emmanuel's inspiration comes from a beautiful and always joyful soul. Thanks for posting!!!
That‘s what I would call jamming. Just great. Could listen to it for hours and hours.
Absolutly divine ... It's great see you and Richard together.
They have/are more fun just jamming than most bands have playing
Great session ✊❤️✊

Watched this twice... will again quite a few times I'm certain!
Blew my hair back!!
Aaand again!!😁

Totally agree. That would be so awesome!
Thats so pure!

Masters. I'd love to play guitar like these guys.
I’m fascinated by what must have been a historically significant moment as this video captured a room full of the most oblivious human beings to have ever been gathered in one audience.
That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing...
The tune together is Muskrat Ramble, love the ending they worked out. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for telling me the name of the song!!! Cheers😄
This sounds like Muscat Ramble. Very nice!!
Two of the best, I got to see both of them last year. What a treat!
It's so fantastic you captured this. And you shared it, thank you!
magicians with guitars
the jam is Muskat Rumble. Great music. Thank you
WOW.
Master class...
This is what 2 man should do in their free time
richard smith is for real
So cool. Two wonderful guitarists jamming the blues
Amazing.. In a league of their own. ♥️
The last words uttered in this video sums it all up, "Yea, there it is!"
Спасибо огромное,, Томми ,, спасибо!!!!!🎸🌈🕊️ Жду в Улан-Удэ, приезжай!!!!
Хорошо играешь! 😊
God bless TE.
Awesome video, thank you for posting up.
Masters at work - it reminds of the "The third man"
Tommy Emmanuel is my hero, but Richard Smith is amazing as well
Very cool Akira! I see you've been hard at work on the body of your Custom Shop guitar!!!! Well wear mate and looking forward to meeting you when I'm down under at the beginning of 2020 !
Thanks Shane! Yeah, the wears around the sound hole are from my hard work:)
Can’t wait to see you mate!
Saw Tommy a week ago, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Got there in the end boys... beautiful
True masters. Never quite satisfied that they can't seek further perfection! Thanks Akira. (I just watched the 6 part jam you posted)
Oh there it is..... oh yeah there it is.. no wait, there it is...🤣🤣🤣 good work lads..
Wow! How great is this
The man himself..Mr Tommy Emmanuel👈🏾👆🏾🤙🏾
Those vids never go long enough
Thanks, Akira, thanks again and again.
Brilliant!
That last lick on one mint julep is just too goddamn slick. I just can't get my fill of it!
I believe that is a diminished lick
@@robertchurch5537 Right on, brother! Thanks!
try to make it to his concert. you will really enjoy it and usually you can get close. My friends who aren't into guitar even enjoyed it
h
Good grief, I wish these two would collaborate on an album as Chet and Jerry did three times....
that's an interesting and cool song. awesome job Tommy.
Tommy Emmanuel = the Jimmy Hendrix of acoustic guitar.
I can never decide which one is the most incredible.
Easy one, That'll be Tommy
@@anthonyrussell1129 it's not a contest just 2 gifted Muso's loving jamming together.
Genius
Two magicians.
I loved this!! I wish so much they could have played with the Buena Vista Social Club! I love that music so much ... wonder if these guys have ever played Cuban traditional before? I’d die to hear them play that!!!
Wooo...both of you played awesome
Always learning.
Wish there were more of these videos, two masters working out a tune, giving and taking, no ego bull. This, in my experience, is rare, the majority of musicians are esurient, stingy and selfish. Great video.
These guys are awesome beautiful
Bravo!

Mutual respect and friends for sure great people the don't hurt each other they clearly teach each other
+David Fournier Tommy’s definitely the elder, more experienced of the two. Both legendary stature though.
For sure I am a new fan and student of Tom and others
Akira you must have been stoked that, first Tommy is playing your guitar, and then Richard Smith comes over and asks to play your guitar! Whoa! Sugoi desu ne. Shinji aranai desu ne.
Holy FUCK I love this!
SUCH musicianship!
Tommy Emmanuel is in a friggin class of his own.
Great you two 👏👏👏❤️
Awesome !
Quel régal!
I'm just confused as to how there are people around just chatting to each other while this is happening.
Imho it actually adds to this fabulous hour with these guys and gives a more intimate experience. A cool experience for Akira.
Pure magic
Magic right in front of your eyes....
Muskrat Ramble inspired by the version of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins in the Atkins-Travis travelin' Show LP ...
So cool
Que MARAVILHA! Dois GÉNIOS da guitarra.
It goes to show you don"t need amps to sound Good! excellent!
Repetition is our friend.....(W.T. Emmanuel)
Just ASTOUNDING!!
P.U.R.E. entertainment ... thank you 💖
Master musicians! Respect!
