There is no a duel, it's a beautiful conversation.
Quite right
Yeah it is.... 😊
This isn’t a “duel.” It’s three consummate guitarists showing their admiration for each other.
So much great blues on UA-cam, so little time !!!! I can spend my whole life watching this kind of music and great blues performers !! So happy to be alive.
My God... Josh Smith is just on a whole different level here. Just unbelievable.
That's a bluesman that's for sure!
I don’t care who was best. They were having fun playing together, so I had fun listening.
Music isn’t a competition...
@@Chance-ry1hq tell that to the millions of wanna be youtubers lol
fossilmatic Thank you for that. I agree. Totally on point and exactly how I feel too.
For me, there is no talk about who is better. All three are masters of the guitar. But I will say that I much preferred Joe's tone to the other two. Now that could be cause it was his show/project, so he had everything he wanted...But, the three together was a gift that they even enjoyed, and as a player myself, that does not happen often, so when it does, it becomes a gift to those in the audience...👍🎸🎶🎵🎼
fossilmatic right on 👍😎
There is no duel here , there is an intellectual conversation happening.
Well said!
It's an intellectually super-informed emotional conversation.
@@msmccan If you say so lol 🤭👍
Yeah, 'duel' is kinda silly, but if I were to think of it that way I'd have to say Josh Smith won this round.
@@frankepps5594 - Agreed, and I play. Josh is amazing - plays with so much feeling. So is Davey Knowles if you like this sort of super-hard blues based rock genre.
When you compare thier playing, you figure out how much Tommy is creative and get out of the box, he just gives you that feeling any time he plays.
Such a legend 👏🏻
I saw Tommy and his brother, Phil, play at the Greengate Hotel, in Sydney, back in the early 80s. 2 guitarists, 2 guitars, both playing different parts….seems straightforward, except they each had their left hand on the other’s guitar. It just blew my mind.
Lucky you man, I made a cover of windy and warm, I learnt it from him and I put my modest flavour to it, that's the only thing I can play with my current abilities. I wish I could attend a live show he plays in.
Three oustanding musicians, backed up by a superb rythm section.
and don't forget those wonderful girls on backing vocals..
Tommy Emmanuel is like a kid when he plays! I mean, he is enjoying so much. That gives the smile!
Joe B obviously is a huge fan of TE. Notice at 2:56 he nods at TE to play more, then when he does JB gets a huge grin. Shows TE can play any genre. All are extremely great as players and really smoked the stage that night.
I noticed that it made me smile lol
Tommy smiles like you or I would if we woke up tomorrow and could play like Tommy Emmanuel.
He's like Ronaldinho... havin' a bit of fun with the boys from Barcelona.

irishguy13 I see what you did there. 😂 (also, I agree)
chrisamerriman I prefer Stevie Ray Vaughn hat much better
"Gratuitous aphorisms are the refuge of the vapid." - Me
well said thx I fully agree
These three are some of the best you will ever see. And to have them all together on one stage, is just WOW!!!
Yeah, and the joy just shines from them.
It's not often you see Joe bonamassa get destroyed by 2 superior players publicly
I'm a Tommy fan because his genre's are all over the place and he is on hella fingerstyle player.
4th........ Tony Vega Band
I think Josh and Joe would both agree. Had 1st row seats when I saw Tommy this year in Jacksonville. My face was sore for a week from smiling so much from that night. Lol. He is a gift from God for us to enjoy
No doubt!
Tommy ALWAYS looks like he's really enjoying himself. What a player
More important look at the guys in the band behind Tommy. They know! ;)
Josh was an animal.
always he enjoys, always smiling
He always looks like he's acting to me. With all those over the top guitar hero gestures he'd be a great air guitarist if he ever decided to go that way.
@@louissmith5298 tommy is the guitarists guitarist, 3 blokes buzzing on to the blues, heaven.....
This is what it´s all about: musicians having fun with each other - not: "who is best?" - but : "what is best we can do together while having a ball!"
That‘s right Mr. Froehlich!
Nomen est omen!
Always stay fröhlich, Mr Froehlich...
👍👍👍
100% true. 👍
Thank you sir! I'm so tired of who's better bs... it's not the Olympics! Its art being played with passion by some great artists that love what they do!
Sounds nice and cuddly but it’s really about dick swinging.
Whoever is "best" is the one your ears tell you who you enjoy listening to
the most. The blues is not a speed contest, loudness or string bending contest.....in my opinion it's about taste and choosing the right notes. That's why I favor Robben Ford. He is always tasteful and doesn't overplay.
I love all of these guys--incredible players. Tommy Emmanuel is the baddest guitarist I've ever heard. Just the tastiest and most interesting licks. He is a virtuoso in every sense of the word. Killer vid!!
Look at the smile on Joe’s face at 2:55. Himself and Tommy had just started grooving and then Tommy just went off and started shredding. Joe just loved the enthusiasm. Straight up good vibes
Josh Smiths solo at the start is unreal! The phrasing and feel he has is really special!
You are a blues lover
@@jillebeling8237 sure am! Can't beat it!
I thought the exact same thing!
Yes, absolutely! I couldn't believe my ears/eyes.

This is not a "Duel" ... It just a good old fashioned Jam.
Agreed. Funny how the great guitar players themselves never seem to get in an argument over who the "best" is but rather compliment their peers over their talent and experience. I really like Joe because he respects the artform of the blues and those giants who paved the way for him and others. And even though he probably could be worth ten times what he is now if he had sold out to 'the system' and let the corporations mold him into a pop star, he has become a strong advocate for KTBA and works with some of the best musicians in the business. Now if someone would just convince him to contact another music 'rebel', Jennifer Warnes, and see what the two of them could come up with, I could die a happy man!
MacPro8CoreMan you’re dam right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This ain’t no garage band here.
These guys are throwing down some hard core “in the pocket “ mind blowing, well incorporated, tactical demonstrations.....geniusly executed, sophisticated guitar picking!
This is where the boss parks ,and plays
@@jamescogley1637 that ain’t no joke
ua-cam.com/video/cxz_vwN626A/v-deo.html
The improv duel starting at about 5:30 is a class in "what you've got up your sleeve". These 3 guys could probably go on endlessly, all masters in their own right. What a treat to see!
I wonder what Tomoyasu Hotei could have done together with that bunch. That would have been if possible even more epic!
epic !!
Tommy looks (and sounds) like he's having the best time of his life!
And kudos to Joe for driving this jam in such a fantastic way.
He always does!
He especially does when he picks up an electric, like he discovered a bowl of treats
Joe’s out there flying the flag.... he’s one of the best
Agree!! Joe made his homework with BB King..
And he made it real good.. and mixed with his style..
English is not my first...✌️🇬🇷🎶🎶
Oh yeah tommy went off rhythm style!
Quarantine Me on That Cruise!
Joe Meyer I would have even taken an inside cabin. LOL.
Me too!!!
😊
What a celebrating moment, all of them coming together, expressing music, feeling the instrument in their own style
This cruise really produced some outstanding stuff. Well done Joe for putting it together.
ua-cam.com/video/cxz_vwN626A/v-deo.html
From someone who's been slinging guitar for over 50 years..........it just doesn't get any better than that, ladies and gentlemen. You just watched a positively masterful interchange among musicians in a live setting. Simply brilliant.
Well, there's 50 years you ain't getting back

All with great, country, blues,

Just relax and try to enjoy these three really nice players.

He would be the first to say, "just shut up and enjoy"
Excuse me.. my comment was to
Stuart Alexander
Excellent analysis.
@@moosey62 for sure
Give me my life again from the age of four with nothing to do but play the guitar
This is what music should be about... Amazing 💕
3 masters, Josh's vocabulary is insane - Love the contrast Tommy threw in, very classy.
Josh Smith is CRIMINALLY underrated!
He's not. Just because he's not famous in the eyes of 10 year old screaming girls, it doesn't mean that every guitar player in the whole wide world doesn't know he's one of the best at this moment.
@@mariodriessen9740 I hate comments like yours, if people feel that an artist is underrated it probably has merit in their eyes. You hearing of a particular musician doesn't mean that enough people know who he is. If I went out and asked 100 people do you think they'd all say they know who he is? I doubt they would, so he is underrepresented or more generally underrated. That's my .02 that nobody asked for but I felt like I needed to call you out on your unwanted .02. Have a nice day.
B. Cook ; I’m sorry I offended you, or anyone. I never intended to offend people. And maybe this will turn into a semantic matter, but there is, in my opinion anyway, a huge difference between being underrepresented or being underrated. I think we all agree that Josh Smith is a fabulous guitarist. And that’s exactly my point. He’s absolutely not underrated, but he is indeed underrepresented. However, you could say the exact same thing about a man like John Scofield, Danny Gatton and even Pat Metheny. Ask 100 random people and you’d be pleased to find two who know all of them. We’re on the same boat here. The only reason I reacted on this comment was to point out the fact that Josh is crazy good and I have never met a guitar player who believed otherwise. So does that make him underrated? Not in my world. And if he is, then he’s not the only person on that stage that’s underrated. And that’s the only point I was trying to make. I’m not a troll and I don’t feel the urge to bash anyone. Do great guitar players (or instrumentalists in general) get the praise they deserve? Absolutely not. Is it our ‘fault’? I don’t think so. I’d be amazed if people who are watching this video will think he’s underrated. Have a nice day. And remember, I’m not your enemy.
Dude, I got what you meant. And I agree, Josh Smith, Derek Trucks, and Eric Gales for my current trifecta...although Jared James Nichols makes it a Quadfecta. :-D. Speaking of underrepresented, how about Phillip Sayce...
@@progrock8907 you sir, have a phenomenal trifecta of guitar players!
When the musicians walk on stage together they aren’t looking to be ‘the best individual’, they are making music TOGETHER. Without the band there’s nothing, without a collective desire to drive the song forward there’s nothing, without communication (either verbal or musically) there’s nothing. These musicians breath this stuff, they appreciate each other’s talents and bring out the best in the song or solo. Watch a great musician and you’ll see give and take, you’ll see a love for the moment and the emotion they create for their audience. This is a unique moment that can’t be repeated, enjoy it for what it is. It’s not a competition.
THANK YOU. BEAUTIFULLY SAID!
BRAVO TO ALL THE MUSICIANS..
I couldn't have said it better! That jam was all about fun and mutual respect.
Gavin Johnson actually not all the time even some of the best try to out play each other
AMEN !!! Brotrer Gavin. AMEN !
Gavin you bring a tear to my eye. Wellest said.
Joe B's finest skill is his world-class sweat production.
I don’t care what you say, Tommy can still hold his own! Love this!
This is not even Tommy’s element really……….I think he’s holding back to not show them up😂🤣 These guys are all guitar ninjas though and can find every note ……..and do it in short order!
Okay, now I know what my life's been missing: electric, solid body, Tommy Emmanuel jams. 😮
Do you know billy strings? He's starting to go electric. He's played with tommy on acoustic.
@@snarfjohnson2262 Billy Strings is my current new thing this past year. I saw those amazing jams with Tommy here on UA-cam!
@@djmikio nice! It's been cool seeing him get bigger so I'm not surprised you knew but I wanted to be sure!
And now you must enter the realm of “Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed”
@@jocosaway3676 I first encountered Chet Atkins during the 70s as a young student in an art program at SUNY Fredonia. They took our class to Chautauqua to see Chet perform and I'd never heard of him at that point. He blew my little mind then and I've been a lifelong fan.
Don't know why im smiling the whole time while looking at them playing. Its like they're talking to each other through their guitars. Love this guys
Me too! Had a huge grin on my face the whole time, as if I were at a party watching my friends dueling it out! Then the video ended and I was snapped back to reality.
You know, I have watched this quite a few times, and it still makes me smile seeing how much fun they’re all having, especially when they’re in that circle just trading phrases. It’s the looks on their faces when the OTHER guy is playing that are the best.
💯 🎯
They truly love what there doing it shows Tommy is so versatile everybody knows hes probably the best acoustic guitar player ever but then to swap over and chop heads with Joe Bonamassa that's pretty incredible all these guys are real pros
Looooooooovvvvvveeee
These guys are so good that they change their style any time to fit in
Man I totally forgot about Tommy's awesomeness with electric
Josh means business 😊 straight to the point. Tommy adding all the textures and Joe keeping it moving. Just magical😇
What a jam session.just awesome Josh Tommy .Big T ..and Joe Man ..what a guitarists treat
Josh and Tommy's licks where hotter than the environment on the back of Joe's jacket !
Who adds angelic harmonic chime in a blues song? TOMMY EMMANUEL! He's BAD TO THE BONE!
I thought that was George Thorogood!?
The Jazzer stands out for miles.Tommy is arguably one of the best all rounders Acoustic / Electric Guitar masters on the planet and Australians should be proud to have this guy as one of it's sons.
The way Joe Bonamassa builds @ 7:24 is genius!! Absolutely love these three together!
Tommy you were the STAR!!!!!
I just saw where Tommy was playing at a "keeping the Blues Alive" concert and after one song Joe Bonamassa commented and this is a direct quote, "Tommy Emmanueal played more notes in a three minute song than I know".
Hmmmm maybe I better re-think my views on JB's ego!
@@bgwhitney I was happy to see his humble side. He's an awesome guitarist, Tommy just has 30 years on him.
Pretty sure it was 'chords'.
@@kennyb6591 correct.
And each and everyone of those notes, are clear as crystal.
Really love the tone Josh Smith has here
Hell yes brothers! Like second nature, no thought, just all feeling. Awesome
Nope...No DUEL here just a very groovy interchange of utter class and talent Loved it...many thanx...
EPIC! This jam alone has more musicianship than every bit of popular, so called music, on the radio this year!
Don’t be so naive boomer.
@@GamerDude-vj9go stop lowering music standards child.
KandE didn’t realize listening to Gary Clark Jr was lowering standards boomer
GamerDude101 - I guarantee you the original commenter isn't a boomer, and KandE isn't saying everything that's out today is terrible (a lot of it is, coming from someone young). Don't be so naive, kid.
MKS Land, Beautifully Said!
Take care 👍.
Melbourne, Australia.
Josh Smith is another level. Watching him geek out on That Pedal Show is one of life's pleasures.
Jamie Clarke yes and that level is under Tommy then joe.
@@orgillmathew "The only player I fear playing with is Josh Smith."

I haven’t” listen to “Joe Bonamassa “ music because my Daughter was very I’ll with Cancer” which took her life on “February 27th” so I need something tho help me get through my “Broken heart” ❤ thank you Mr. Bomamassa” for your music love your your music”😂❤
Sorry for your loss.🙏
I really appreciate when guitar players remember that it's not a felony to play below the 10th fret during your solo. You have a whole neck to work with. Thank you for that Mr. Emmanuel.
ua-cam.com/video/cxz_vwN626A/v-deo.html
Love Josh Smith's solo at the beginning. His tone is fantastic.
Tommy genius
Solid it was. Wow. Love that.
Tommy’s initial rhythm guitar section is so inspiring
I love how he just doesn't shred, he's so freaking tasteful
Sounds a little like Niles.
Josh Smith's Verse was Fire One of the most underrated today!
Those licks comin off that tele had some STANK!! AWESOME! Those three are all epic. I bow down.
I was 15 feet from the stage when they played this on the "Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea" cruise. Tommy is the greatest guitarist I have ever seen or heard. We heard him play on 4 different performances on that cruise and repeatedly herd the respect that other great guitarist have for him, He is in an entirely higher category than any one else i have ever heard in my 73 years .
heard
I was taken to a Tommy Emmanuel gig 15 years ago and it was incredible.
You had me beat by 10 feet!! Great show. Great cruise.
David Jarrett he’s a great guitar player but in an entirely higher category than any one else I don’t think so, there are lots of great guitarist around, lots.
Dudes incredible
What I really like about Joe is that he showcases other Great guitarist and he respects them which makes him very cool. He's a good dude.
He certainly is and is not just a walking treasurer of guitar music but guitarists as well! A very generous and giving soul. We are lucky to have him - on both sides of the Atlantic!
I’ve heard he can be a prick to work with but also has a love for sharing the spotlight as well. And exploring the sounds of unique instruments mixed in with jazz blues rock.
I really liked his Different shades of blue with that amazing nykelharpa bridge in it. The sound of it still echos for me
ua-cam.com/video/SR2DsIavTbQ/v-deo.html
Yeah, good dude for cornering the USED Vintage market and bragging about it. Just because he pays a guy at GC to call JB whenever a used vintage axe gets in GC's inventory, thus making regular guys pay astro prices or get shut out completely from the vintage axe market.....nothin cool about that.
Yes, he truly loves bringing it to us. He is certainly keeping the blues alive
....then, there is Tom Terrific! Love you, Tommy!
Умеют .....!!!! Не задумываясь , "эмоции на кончиках пальцев" ....красавцы ....!!!🎉
I've been watching TE live since the 70's when he was in the Emmanuel Brothers with his family back in the north shore of Sydney. He never ceases to amaze me even 50 years later! 👌👈
DaB wrong use of emojis 👀😂
I saw TE a couple of weeks ago in Manchester UK with Transatlantic Sessions playing Celtic / Country crossover with Jerry Douglas and Aly Bain, was amazing...
Going to see TE for the first time in about six weeks. Really looking forward to it.
@@3ASY355 why?
Talk about being in the zone. They were totally in sync with each other.
Yeah.. not really but is was good
Amazing Josh...what a blues!
TOMMY Emmanuel, best I ever heard.
When you can't stop smilin', you know it's GREAT!
I'm watching this alone, and by about 7:30 I realise I'm sitting there grinning like an idiot. Gold.
You are NOT alone TripleM.. I too found myself with a shit-eating grin from just seeing these guys tearing it up! Damn, what magic!
@@Wookie8058 Agree, Agree Agree, Didn't want to miss a note so I took the laptop with me to the toilet and had a double dose of shit-eat-grin! Wife thought I was in need of looney bin treatment!lol Dislikers are the ones who have LOST OUT!
Josh Smith is a weapon!
Brain candy for the rhythmically inclined. Incredibly sweet!
IDK why everyone's comparing all of them. They each were themselves, and they each were amazing. They're all unbelievable musicians and artists with their own style.
It always amuses me in the comments on these videos... saying , this guy is better than that one. Most times by someone that has never picked up a guitar, and have no idea the degree of difficulty, or the literal years of endless practice that goes into being a top notch guitar player. Every player has their own style, and it’s always fun to see what the others come up with. I wish people would learn to enjoy the music, and stop with their uneducated opinions..
Indeed. After witnessing such a great performance and the sheer joy exhibited by each player...who in their right mind would entertain the notion of pitting one against another. The whole performance oozed cooperation and not competition.
I agree . . . but it is entertainment . . . you don't have to be a master chef to have an opinion on food taste . . . just saying. In my humble opinion, Tommy isn't afraid of the low strings, can make them sound just as a wicket.
Yes - it's a jam not a battle... A guitar battle is an excruciating contest to see who can play the most squealy notes and ridiculous dive bombs in one break. The playing of these guys complements the song and each other. Even Bonamassa seems to have restrained himself.
Gwag Very true. However.....From what I saw on stage, when he was playing with intent and serious, no one could play with Danny Gatton and not be taken back by his effortless shifting between rockabilly, jazz, blues, country at warp speed.
@@seanparker7415 Can't agree more! Did they say they were competing against each other? We are seeing creative talent in each individual style that comes together in musical explosion. Is the modern generation listening to the creation of music as is being shown here? Not many I would venture a guess.
Вот это музыканты! Гитары просто разговаривают друг с другом языком музыки. Браво всем троим.
Tommy Immanuel on stage with an electric? Is there ANYPLACE that guy isn’t happy and at home??? Incredible.
Yeah well that's incredible to see these three guys playing together........thanks so much Linda
keep your eyes on Josh Smith. This guy is way underrated.
I think he has been highly rated for years, majority of guitarists know how good he is.
Incredible player!
WAY underrated
@@nsrfreak He is one of the best. Everybody knows that. Cuz its obviously if you have hearing.
I'd keep an eye on him if I knew which one he was.
Tommy Emmanuel made me smile at the end of a hard day. Thank you sir!
Great to see Josh with Tommy and Joe, all phenomenal guitarists👍
What a force of nature is Tommy Emmanuel!! Inspiring. And Josh Smith, damn... holy god of chops!
Regardless of any genre, Tommy never fails. He really 'talks' in his solo, and never forget to show some shredding for fans as well.
Tommy is a world class player but one of his strengths is that he realizes that you have to entertain people, not just guitar players. He's a showman.
Bonamassa ,😮we wont see another that talented for years.
It is called "duel" but it is a great chat of great musicians talking with their instruments together and what is most important, listening to each other. Music is so beautiful, gives hope that mankind could manage it, in the end.
There is a difference between a guitar battle and a guitar symphony.
You know, what I really loved about this was the communication between great musicians, and I don't mean just the three guitarists. Those nods and smiles, the acknowledgement by Tommy towards the end when Bonamassa's well-drilled band brought it home on that magic carpet, just like BB King's band used to do back in the day.
Great to watch and hear. Thanks.
Tommy rocked it! That, to me, would be hard to replicate... as were the others, but his in particular.
My my this is tasty. Blues ❤. Bonamassa, had the pleasure of seeing him twice here in England some years back. Magical.
There are no duels in music and art! This is a friendly gathering, playing, and making fun, not some kind of a battle.
The term guitar duel is a well known common term.
SPOT ON Dorde. The language, mother tongue speaks man! Competition is for AMATEURS who can't speak well.
No one got in the way of each other. One played a different position on the fretboard to highlight the other two. It's a meeting where every one gets to say their piece......a guitar conversation worthy of our attention.
Very well said.
Love Tommy's augmented licks ...they're all great to watch.
Contemporary master guitarists respecting and complementing each other while treating us to their individual talents that makes each one of them so amazing, doing it live collectively for our enjoyment. It gets no better than this...
I never heard Josh Smith - BRAVO!
Watching those three jam was just about the most fun I had with my clothes on!
I just wish Danny Gatton was still around to be on that stage.
Will someone please clone Tommy Emanuel so we will never loose him.
Hell of a show !! 3 of the best...LUCKY YOU MISSMOKE!!!!!!
That's pure electric energy running in series, feeding off each other, to complete the perfect sound circuit..............
All three are just expressing the pure joy of playing their instruments, it doesn't get any better than this !
Who's having the most fun on that stage? That would be Tommy. That's what I love about him!
Tommy is off the charts!! Amazing is all I can say
If Tommy Emanuel wasn't so damn good on acoustic guitar he'd probably get even more recognition on electric guitar!!. Dude can flat out play!
The sweat in Joe's coat...to be a fine musician is a really hard job!
Didn't know TE is that funky!
He is the sort of player who gets deep into whatever the other guy is playing, and just builds on the good time. Just lives in the music.
Three of the best in the world right there...
Miss Linda, you sure do capture great music well. And it's always nice to see Reece, Anton and Michael together as well. Videos keep them all alive. Thank you.
Big thank you 😊
Interesting how people always frame these jams as "duels" instead of just three great guitarists playing off each other and loving it. It's all subjective and a matter of taste -- because they're all masters! I actually jammed with Tommy once... I was on bass and he played drums. Yes... he's a great drummer too... and always one of the most personable guys I ever met on the scene back in the day.
Well said Mr. Howard and must have been cool to jam with Tommy...
Philip
NYC Area
@@uptownphotography Yes... super humble, chilled-out dude. I used to go see him and his brother Phil play when they worked as The Emmanuel Brothers. They were just amazing together, both playing on the same guitar at the same time and doing killer arrangements of things like Henri Mancini's Pink Panther.
@@mr.howard1 Yes, I remember Tommy on a PBS show talking about his brother and playing with him together. He's definitely one of my favorite guitarist. Larry Carlton is my other favorite. I saw Larry play twice at a small venue and I luckily both times I was only about 12 feet away from him. I never saw Tommy play live, but I have followed him a long time. It was cool to see him playing electric and in jamming mode. Thanks for the reply.
Philip
@@uptownphotography Oh, yes... Larry is one of my all time favourites -- never got to see him though. I did see Steely Dan before Walter passed away though. I try to see them all when I can... in case they die! Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn to mention a few. I used to work in a studio and got to set up Roy Buchanan's rehearsals... watched his show from side of stage. He was such a nice guy too!
@@mr.howard1 Steely Dan is another one of my favs as far as bands. Great songs they had. There were so many cool guitar solos on their albums and it was always interesting trying to learn the solos. (Larry of course did many for them, as I am sure you already know). I studied with a jazz guitarist quite a few years here in New Jersey and was into writing and recording jazz fusion type songs in the 1990s. Writing and recording is something I am just getting back into and I have been rebuilding my recording studio to that end. Before photography, I used to rent my studio for a living.
