I was depressed for a long time, I seemed useless and bad. This music has helped me relieve fatigue and stress. Thanks for sharing it. Whoever is reading this comment, I wish you success, health, love and happiness!
Music cures the soul. Good to play,better to watch,best to listen and learn!
Don't be depressed. Think of the sick and the needy. Think of the blessings we have. I know it's got to be really difficult. Kindly try.
Same here!
Hello ; Traduct in Frech please ! Kiki there it's so beautifull ! Kiki des bois jolis @gmail.com!
When Tommy invites you on stage you KNOW you're the real deal. Billy is absolutely the real deal. Great talent!
Your DAM SKIPPY BILLY IS THE REAL MC COY PICKIN N SNORTIN
yes king great
He is
@@alisoncole3211 send your email for some of my music
@@singerjahmusic WHY ? ?
Let me be the first to congratulate Tommy on his Grammy award this evening.
If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face it’s broken.
for real
True!
Ive never whiped my ass so happily.
dont judge me
Hell yeah!
Now I know why I don't have any talent...they got it all
I feel the same way!
This will turn out to be a historic video. Old lion, young lion. Beautiful !
Two of the best acoustic guitar players you’ll ever see
Jorma and David Bromberg would like to have a word, LOL! No, but I get what you are saying!
Look up Dennis agajanian
Him and tommy are friends
@@chrisklein2118 This isn't a pissing contest here. They are all great musicians. "Two of the best" means there is more of the best guitarists and here is two of them.
@@Terbie36 It was a joke..."LOL" means "Laugh Out Loud", as in when one makes an attempt at humor. You should try it sometime, it can be quite fun.
Billy is one of the most fearless improvisers to join Tommy onstage. Totally an E-ticket ride.
Hello Alan how are you doing to I hope you are safe and in good health... I'm Patti from California.
I was thinking the same thing, the kid must have monster balls to get up there with TE, but that kid Billy is amazing!
@@allan2098 - Billy is not shy. He's very similar to Tommy from a psych standpoint. Playing is EVERYTHING.
Joscho and billy are great improvisers
Who's number two?
There are not many guys out there who can play at tommys level...... billy totally nailed 🔥
He most definitely deserves to be on stage with Tommy. Very few could say that.
Could you tell me, please...!!!!who can play guitar better than ALIP BA TA...!!!!
Фантастика!! Можно сказать, они не только музыканты, но и оранжировщики- композиторы@!
@@noryy7306 😂😂
Billy Strings is our Beethoven
Tommy knows what to do when his mate is taking the action, he lowers his volume. Such a big honor for his fellow musician.
And proper jam etiquette that so many at local jams don’t do in their quest to drown everyone out
And Billy does the exact same when sharing a stage with up and coming young musicians. It’s all about the music
I am 80-years-old yet you have set my soul on fire once more, Tommy.
It's refreshing to know that I can still move that fast! Thanks a million.
It’s almost like they’re having a conversation with their guitars! It’s amazing
I think they are man...
Almost?
That's called musical fluency.
they are
Они черти, слишком круто для людей.. :-))
Tommy and Billy could fuel a nuclear plant with all the energy they put into music! What a fabulous duet!
@marian koniuszko n
fuel a nuclear plant... too funny!
It must be so joyful to be able to play like this ! They are so lucky🤓
Yes yeah no
😂
The respect Tommy has for the new generation, fair play to the man
It's because his idol was Chet Atkins and when Tommy was young Chet went out of his way to be kind to Tommy and encourage him. Now he gets to do the same for Billy
A world where we find such amazing musicians is a world that's worth saving. Thank you Billy Strings and Tommy Emmanuel for this incredible gathering ! Man !
I’m listening to this on the 1 year anniversary of my Grandpas passing. He loved Billy Strings! I’m going to make sure I play some Billy Strings every July 3rd!
Hello 👋 Mark. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where you are from? You seem like a real country girl
Billy plays faster, cleaner lines than the best tele players....while playing an acoustic. Insanity. Tommy goes without saying :) What a joy to hear these two gents play together.
Andy has to keep his action High because he picks so hard even more insanity
You get on stage with Tommy, you better have your shit together. And Billy does. Bravo.
What I want to play the guitar so bad but its scarey to watch how they play I could never ever ever make my fingers do what theres do!!! I would die for fingers and talent in guitar playing like both those guys!!!! Wow!!!
You aren't alone, watch guitar teachers and musicians react to Tommy's playing. Most simply say that they can't do what he's doing...
@@thomasgreen4712 feed the feeling...get comfortable with the idea that you will suck...get to work...and if playing like this remains your goal, it’s possible in 10-15 years. (You could be playing covers of these songs within 2-3 years, but to actually attain mastery on the instrument where you could improvise, compose, and perform at this level it’s 10-15). With the pandemic, you got nothin but time mate ;)
I watched a Chet Atkins documentary o here a week ago and when people were talking about him they basically said what everyone in these comments are. I could never do. But yes. Yes you can. I can play Tommy’s tunes, granted not as great as he does, but I can. In that Chet documentary someone, his name escapes me currently, said “well I can’t be impossible. He’s playing it.” Take it a measure at a time if you have to. You can play it. You just can’t play it right now.
@@adamlaxmusic I mostly agree with you, but some things, most just physically can't do. Like when Tommy's version of Classical Gas, where he anchors his thumb on the Low 'E' string, and moves his fingers over a 5 fret range. There might be a work around but it's pretty amazing. Love a reviewer who basically said he physically couldn't do that, and that it required 10's of thousands of hours to learn.
Love discussing this, as I get to listen to this wonderful collaboration each time!
These guys were blessed with talent. And then, they practiced til their fingers bled, and you are now listening to the result.....fabulous!!!!!!
Greatness = Talent PLUS Hardwork. Right on, man!
Billy reminds of a young Stevie Ray Vaughn .... Not so much in style but he's just got that same vibe and the ability to have the respect of veteran guitarists and give that respect right back ..... A once in a generation talent
There’s a lot of similarities between those two and Dimebag Darrell
@@bebopalloobop Texas spirit?)
Billy asks Tommy: "What are we gonna play?" Billy's guitar wasn't even tuned. That shows us there was no preparation for this. And then he rips into inprov. with one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. What a prodigious talent.
If he keeps picking that thing it won't ever get well!
He's healing it
@@RB2417 I mean it's a relationship
@@RB2417 a oneness
That was so enjoyable already knew how good Billy was and everybody knows have a good Tommy S just think if they got together and practiced
I didn't know I liked Bluegrass jamming until this morning when I discovered Billy Strings. WOW!
how these guys keep in rhythm together is insane
how's the new guitar lol?
@@dudecafe 😂😂😂😂
@@dudecafe to be fair the regular old decent guitarist isn't doing this. This is top lvl stuff
Its even better when they lose rhythms and gravity snaps em back together. Thats the jam tension you just cant teach
ขอบคุณครับ
I don't always witness greatness, but when I do it's tommy and billy!
No stomp boxes, no effects. Just two very clean guitars kicking some serious ass!
Sounds way better than any electric guitar playing in my opinion, and I'm a big Led Zep and PF fan but I always prefer the acoustic.
Tommy is a good man. He is always introducing young musicians to the world. So generous. And I mean besides being probably one of the best guitar players ever. This what I call Music.
There’s so much genius going on here…the banter/exchange, the challenge of the old dude to the punk kid, but in the best way. Tommy tries to toy with him a bit, and Billy retorts let’s just play and have fun. Keep up!
Я думал с дедом играет его дочь или внучка !
Two giants of the acoustic guitar world! What a joy to see them on stage together!!!
My deceased daddy played guitar and he & mom played dances. He would LIVE THIS!!! HERE'S to you daddy!
Doppietta che fuoco
Fantastic. It's so nurturing of TE to let the young guy shine and make great music together instead of trying to blow him away. It shows what kind of a person TE is. Nobody enjoys playing guitar more than him.
That's not just any young guy.
@@bbunters Of course, he's truly amazing, too. But more often than not a big name won't allow anyone else to shine so much. TE could have easily amped up his own playing and hogged the solos, especially on his signature song Guitar Boogie, but he appears to enjoy playing WITH this guy instead of asserting his own stardom.
the man is truly a gift to all guitar players. I met him and he is absolutely right on! My greatest mentor. GOD BLESS MR TOMMY!
@@stevesheldon8616 Billy seems easygoing and likeable. He produces a nice, round tone. Unbelievable note separation, very good clarity and power. Everyone could benefit by playing with him.
@@pertjacanapeI'll bet all 3 of Billy's fan appreciate you approval
It's our modern bluegrass Chet and Jerry, folks. That last break that Tommy initiated was mental.
I always thought if Tommy and Billy met they would both explode like two galaxies colliding.
This inspired me to stop playing guitar.
Same hahahaha
Why? Get inspired by guys like this. One can learn from this type of talent.
@@cjjore5686 👍
nah, don't stop. If you can tap it out on your steering wheel or school desk, you'll get it and NEVER let that who's better altitude get in your way
😂😂😂
It makes my heart a little lighter to see these young cats keeping it alive and taking it to new heights. When you call yourself Billy Strings you better bring it and boy did he ever!
The clarity of Billy Strings and the way Tommy enhanced and not diminished his talent is a testament to the love of the music that Tommy has. Well done Billy Strings I love your free uninhibited flowing style.
amen and amen.
Tommy plays faster but Billy’s picking is about as clean as it gets. How they can hop onstage together, no rehearsal, having never played together before, and pull THIS off is a question for the philosophers
So this vid introduced me to Billy. Without a doubt the best young guitarist today who definitely deserves to be onstage with Tommy.
Both Tommy and Billy will always remember this moment...music brings us all together.
The more I watch it, the better it gets! This is not rehearsed! They just make it up! Magical!
You know you've made it when you get on stage with the legendary Tommy...
I've been playing over 40 years and I can't even get my mind around this, it's so phenomenal 💯 🎸
Life goals: Find someone who looks at you the way Billy Strings looks at Tommy Emmanuel.
ちんこ！！
This is what happens when ego takes a back seat to talent. Magic.
Simply incredible. Two musicians that have mastered the guitar picking so well , meeting up and playing with each other and not trying to out do the other. Just so grateful and blessed that both talents came along in my lifetime.
Respect to billy, he held his own with the greatest living guitarist Tommy.
NOT to make comparisons, but, ummmm, I think he outdid Tommy, IMHO. Billy's licks were every bit as fast, but so much clearer and deliberate and a bit more musical. IMHO.
@@aaronheine3517 No he isn't.
There is no 'best', music is subjective stop being a fanboy.
TE is just different, and plays with swing and expression which some people prefer instead of being robotic.
@@aaronheine3517 I always feel bad about such comparisons; Tommy E. has been such an astonishing talent and musical blessing to me, but fingers get older; that's just the way of it. Some young guy will have my job one day, too! Everything I've seen of Billy is that he's respectful of the past, as one who stands on its shoulders should be!
And, in fairness, they are not from precisely the same musical foundation, so their talents also vary.
@steveandsarahrutledge9105 well, you are wrong)
Loved the way Tommy gave Billy the foundation to shine
You do those kind of things when you’re confident enough in yourself to where you don’t have to show everybody how great you are because everybody already knows how good Tommy is anyway
@@ljbull33 I was referring to the musicianship. The level of musicianship. Like the musicians who support each other. It has nothing to do with greatness or everybody knowing how great you are. Even new musicians experience this. My uncle helped a 4 year old set up his pillow, pots and pans drum kit, beside his Ludwig kit. Band practice in my Grandparents living room. Vocalist, Double Bass, electric guitar, drums and a horn section, trumpet, tenor sax, piano, plus a 4 year old on pillow drums. I played with my uncles band for years.
2 of the most talented humble stand-up guys around. Cheers!
Very good play nice
Two phenomenal guitarists just kicking butt on stage together! If you’re having a slow day and need a pick-me-up, just listen to these 2 songs and start smiling and tapping your feet!
😊🎉❤😂
That working man blues duo was absolutely insane. Tommy did well to tame Billy cause he could literally solo at that speed all day long! 😂😂
How did we ever survive without UA-cam?
Hello how are you doing to I hope you are safe and in good health... I'm Patti from California.
@@pattistilwell7424 Hi Patti I'm from the UK. God bless you and I hope your safe too.
steve mecc Hello Steve thank you. Yes I'm fine nice to here from you. I'm looking for new friend and I hope you don't mind.
@@pattistilwell7424I don't mind in the slightest nice to chat to you 😊
No primadonnas here, just two kids playing! Luv ya guys
This gets better every time I watch it.
Tommy is one of four known Certified Guitar Players of all time, crowned by Chet Atkins himself!! I wonder if he could bestow that honor down to Billy?! He is most definitely deserving!!
If there is a player, in this generation, that would be considered for the honour of being referred to as a CGP... it’s Billy. Simply amazing....I am sure Chet is looking down with a huge smile watching these two have fun.
Chet could convey the same depth of feeling playing 1/4 as many notes. But it's all good when you get to this league.
@@johntechwriter Give the young bloke some time to get there.
2 premier guitar players who are at the top of their game! Not only the fact that they can play acoustic guitars like that is just ridiculous, but that they can play together and feed off each without any kind of rehearsal is truly insane. Billy's playing is unbelievably clean
Hearing actual good music today is a treat unto itself. This is just rip-roaring, musical-bonering madness. This is an example of how good music can get.
I can’t tell you how many times I just put this on to feel better. The smiles on both say it all.
You and me both! Just uplifting.
👍
Billy strings is a straight up LEGEND. Top 5 all time musician for me
Finally... somebody that can push Tommy out into traffic...Two legends!
Hold your breath mate, Tommy was only in 1st gear here
You said it!
Two outstanding guitar players having fun, what more could you ask for...just outstanding.
I’m almost 66 and 45 years ago I learned to play records, 8 tracks, cassette, reel-to-reel and cds. I was never any good playing any instruments and the world is much better with me not playing anything other than digital music.
I just love the equality demonstrated here with both players swapping lead and rhythm and playing off each other. And just how much they were enjoying themselves.
And to think this is their careers! Blessed.
Wa nix me fehlt
You can see the friendship and mutual respect.
I know everybody’s a Tommy fan, but Billy was just as good. Just imagine when he’s Tommy’s age.
Love watching Tommy play!.....always having a blast...and Billy is one hell of a talent also!
Two of the very best guitar slingers of all time!
Love the way Billy Strings plays. He holds his own with any bluegrass player in history for my money.
Uh... are you from Pennsylvania by chance?
My aunt has exactly the same name.
😎🇺🇸
Yes ! Including Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Sonny Landreth, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, etc. . . Frightening speed !
I am BLOWN AWAY . There should be smoke coming from their fingers! What an amazing showmanship of skill and artistry. I was smiling the whole time... New fan of them both, new and older. 🔥🔥
.............. And all off the cuff. They are just feeding off each other. Just jamming away and making it look easy.
I feel glad to be 100th like of your beautiful comment ❤
Amazing!!!
I didn’t know people could be that good at something
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life
Love seeing how Tommy helps put over artists like Chet did for him. I'm sure Billy will do it for others one day. Quite selfless and lovely to see and hear
Billy Strings does it already: ua-cam.com/video/uC0TPnStIfc/v-deo.html
Billy Strings needs no introductions. He's big enough in his own right, and possibly even the better guitar player of the two.
@@HermitHippyyes, yes and (respectfully) no
How can anyone down vote this? It's magnificent!
If you listen only the real music , you definitely vote it down ...
@@ardaguven8470well if only you are musician player, ofc you'll vote it up
Fu**ing amazing. Such a good jam. When he sprung that fast section on Billy during working man, he handled it like a true champ.
These two bring out the best in each other.
Only seasoned players truly understand how amazing and clever Tommy throwing in that "smoke on the water" intro was
Surrender?
Exactly
@@russell13904 Could be
You’re right! Here I am trying to relive my early 20’s lol
@@russell13904 what is surrender?
Man, who doesn't just love a really good accoustic guitar jam? These guys are fanatastic.
Have seen TE live twice. Incredible beyond words.
Wow! Billy's finger/fret work is so astonishingly clean at that high speed. He's so often striking the board from so high to get that amazing stacatto sound. Well, Imma try to do whatever I do today with the same zeal Billy plays guitar!
Its stunning. I could watch him play on mute and still be blown away.
Billy’s playing is soooo smooth. You can hear every fret he hits with great emotions.
Tommy is obviously a fantastic player flat and fingerpicking, but I don't think he holds a candle to Billy's flatpicking black magic.
@@philidor9657 7
You don't hit the frets tho.. lol
@@kennywillis5532.......Heck I don’t know, I just love the way he plays. Sounds smooooooth🤪
@@philidor9657 You're right. But both have their strengths.... Tommy's rhythm at the end is insane, Billy was having to stick to the bass line to keep up!
Two of my favorite players....don't think it's gonna get much better than this
Have some faith bro
my thoughts exactly!
Это круто
Ещё раз гляну
Tenacious D and the pick of destiny 👏🏻🔥
I couldn’t agree more this brought a huge smile to my face 🤤🎸🔥
I cannot forget this duet performance !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Such an unbelievable riff together 🎸
Two of the greatest guitar players working today. We are very much living in a golden age of guitar!
Yes, although I miss Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.
What amazes. E about Tommy Emmanuel is that when he plays rhythm guitar, his percussive embellishments make the other guitarist sound even better than they already do.
Billy is the exact same way! Brings out the best in his fellow players. That’s the sign of a truly great musician
I want to give this five thumbs up!
Such a beautiful collab … Off the charts “soul mate” playing, these two!
That ladies and gentlemen is how you do it! There is hope for the next generation. Thanks Tommy.
Um WTF my two favorites sharing a stage. Is this HEAVEN?
That’s just a mind blowing performance ❤
damn, now thats a duo..
4:28 is epic. Not the music, but the harmony between them. All falls into place!
The music is epic too☺
Tommy Emmanuel is what pure positive energy and good vibes looks like. Amazing duet as well!
There is an age difference but both are brimming with youth.
@@johntechwriter I’m
Not too many kids, these daze, can keep up with Tommy Emmanuel
I have to listen to guitar boogie once a week. It lifts my spirits
Billy always goes beast mode on his rhythm guitar. He is definitely one of the greats such an amazing talent.
what do you get when you put two geniusses together ? an explosion off happiness . thanks tommy and billy .
I feel inspired and humbled. They are doing gods work.
Absolutely amazing ! Great !
Soo good to see Tommy still getting lessons.
Thanks Billy for showing Tommy some new stuff.
Too cool to see the older and younger generation communicate, so well musically, no words needed!👍❤️
They are in genius mode!
Tommy did say “ just play guitar man”
No words ARE necessary!
These two have truly mastered them fillers when they play this type of song in a duo it sounds so grand.
This is the best performance. It is the perfect contrast between youthful energy and well-worn experience. I'm still awed after several listens.
