I CANT BELIEVE IT ! Finally my 2 most favorite guitar artists in the world together. I Never thought it would happen. AMAZING !! Thank you both. What a treat....
Everyone has that one moment in thier life that makes all the hard work worth it. You sound great Adam. I watch ALL your posts on UTUBE. I try to use your techniques while maintaining my own sound and style. Not easy. Lol
@maddi62 Thank man. Trust me, I was nervous and Tommy was not :-) This was a very special moment for me, the crowd was well over 1500 people. Glad it was caught on video!!!
In my humble opinion, you are two of the most musically beautiful, tasteful, inteligent and gifted players on the planet. Thank you both for all of your continued inspiration and willingess to freely share your gift of music with the rest of us. You both set a fine example of what a true musician is with regard to craft, musicianship and the right attitude. Every time I hear either of you play, I am reminded of what the guitar is truely capable of. Thank you both for the kind reminder. Peace.
I knew it! I just knew it! The first time I heard Rafferty, I thought, my god, his playing is just as brilliant as Emmanuel's. And now, here they are together. They're almost twins in their mastery. Not quite. Each has a distinctive, personal style. But together -- sheer perfection. Wonderful! Thank you, guys, for putting this video together. What a superb idea.
Gee man, you've played with Mr. TE !!! I have had the pleasure to "Meet and Greet" him in Holland before one of his concerts and man ! I can only dream of playing like him. And terhe you are, standing and playing beside as well as keeping up with him. Hat off and a deep bow for you !!!
Two masters, great guitars, awesome tone and temperament in almost every note. Really loved the jazz feel you gave it towards the middle - ohh how I envy you :). 5 stars!
Simply precious, a present full of feeling (duende in my country). Both are my favourite solo-guitar-players and is great to see you playing together. I'm trying to learn not only your arrangements but your attitude.
Fabulous. Both look nervous a hell. Clearly each knows they are in the presence of genius. Perfect recovery, adam, at 1:36, and inspired diminished scale work. Amazing
Anyone unfamiliar with Chet & Lenny's album "Standard Brands" should change that situation at the first opportunity. I saw this tune done by Tommy & Adam at BB Kings a few months ago-beautiful and a great tribute to 2 guitar giants all at the same time.
Hey! Adam here. Maybe you're not "familiar" with the song, Tenderly. Tommy specifically requested that I "improvise" i.e. make up a solo, but that he would play the original melody of the song. You have good ears and heard that he played the melody, but maybe were'nt aware of the song structure (melody - solo - melody) he wanted.
what a sound... you're a lucky guy playin with tommy. but you definitely deserve it. i take my hat off to ya mate. well done.. Kevbox, if you're gonna first it, at least comment on the vid! ;)
while watching your last video, I was thinking how similar to Tommy all your playing is...and how just that tommy style flare was missing..something I believe just comes with the years of playing Tommy has done. Great stuff !!
Aw man, no sweat. If you knew how scary that night was, you'd understand....he was out there kicking butt so hard for an hour and I was backstage warming up, waiting and it seemed like forever - that's the stuff you don't see on a youtube vid :-) It's like playing basketball with Michael Jordan to be with TE on the stage.
Adam, you gotta do some straight up jazz. You got the chops for anything obviously, but i loved your solo. Would love to hear some straight jazz from you !
Great memories. Went there to watch TE and learned to know Adam Rafferty. Best concert ever.
Lmao. I just realized this was 12 years ago.. WOW....Did I miss the bus.......any who. Love your music Adam....more comments below.
Thanks & groove on! 😊
this is a feast of 2 of the most gifted musical geniuses our time.
Heavenly. Thank you, Adam and Tommy.
