This is the whole video that I recorded during the one hour guitar jam session. This experience was priceless. These four fabulous players were just having fun in front of us. We thought it was better than a concert. Hope you enjoy.

You can bet these guys never let a day go by without picking up their guitar.

[@MelvilleG]

I love how the folks in the background giggle and chat at the beginning, but as the gentlemen continue the jam - everyone shuts up and follows every song.

[@kayfj4903]

I wish they'd shut the heck up right from the beginning. How any of them think what they have to talk about is more impressive than these guitarists' talents is beyond me. They don't even have the good manners to applaud! 🙄

[@stopstalkingyouspookybastard]

this is what 100000 hours of experience on guitar looks like. nothing but respect gentlemen, thank you for playing!

[@kvwebb777]

A big amen 🙏

[@souvikbasumatary6863]

Most likely an understatement

[@mrgrumpy5116]

it takes something else as well ... and if you don't feel it then it just won't happen

[@jendabekCZ]

Training, not just experience :)

[@mesolithicman164]

I think you need a variety of things to be outstanding, great ears, innate sense of time, desire to practice, and an understanding family. These guys are playing for themselves, it's like they're communicating in a special language because they have learnt it. Each one of them represents endless practice and study.

[@lolhardiman5247]

I was about to head to bed after a tiring day. Now I'm footstomping, whiskey in hand ready for anything. That's the power of music from these amazing guys. What a wonderful moment to have captured for posterity. Pure bliss! ❤

[@danielgrant4543]

Love it how Tommy Emmanuel is organising the solo sections with a little head nod. Fix and French are waiting on the nod from the master to show what they can do! Classic jam and they all wait their turn!

[@2811JPR]

I love how someone starts playing a tune and everyone follows. Absolute masters.

[@jonaskarlstrom4152]

Pretty much just need to know the key and off we go....

[@mongshich9373]

I am 34 and this is the best one hour I have ever spent in my whole life wow!

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Michael Fix is widely acclaimed as one of the world's finest acoustic guitarists. He has won three Golden Guitars and numerous other awards in Australia, and tours widely throughout the world, particularly Asia, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, and elsewhere in Europe. Australian born Golden Guitar award winner Stuart 'Stuie' French is a master of the country/jazz guitar-style (Les Paul invited him up to play when he was in New York!) and many of his guitar heroes are the great Americans: Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Roy Nichols and Danny Gatton. William Thomas Emmanuel AM is an Australian guitarist, songwriter and singer who is known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances and the use of percussive effects on the guitar. Richard Smith is an English guitarist specialising in the fingerstyle guitar tradition of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed. He is the 2001 National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion.

[@MsNickie1001]

Django Reinhardt was French, not American……

[@tomlyons7891]

The Tommy/Richard love affair kept those guys down. This was great to listen to, and tough to watch. This was meant to be one to be an Emmanuel/Smith lovefest and some guys looking to use the place as a career platform smartly jumped in.

[@danielgrant4543]

Richard Smith is the best player of the 4

[@0FFICERPROBLEM]

@@tomlyons7891 Get out of here with that, it's a jam between four players who respect each other

[@Cobbmtngirl]

Tommy smiling while playing. Obviously enjoying what he does so well.

[@ericlinant205]

I'm always surprise and a little shock to ear people behind who dare talking while these brilliant musiciens are playing the most fabulous jam !

[@tyczynski]

The most striking thing to me is how they so obviously enjoy themselves, that's true love for the music right there!

How can one just join the jam and immediately all blend in together? What a chemistry!

[@littlecarminefingerpicking1724]

They can cause of the lot of experience plus a EXTREME knowledge of the guitar fret all spiced up with a huge talent 😊😊

[@stevedrake604]

Super pros. Elite. Most "jams" are disorganized messes ... not with these guys. They know the tunes, they know each other and they're all generous and fans for and with one another. Richard Smith is out of this world. Musical encyclopedia who adds his panache to every tribute tune he plays. Love Tommy, but Richard is right there.

[@ValerioMansueti]

Anyone can tell me the name of that guitar player?

[@silvermediastudio]

Four of the best guitarists especially of this style, in the world. They've played together a few times hahah

[@silvermediastudio]

@@ValerioMansueti All four are listed in the description.

One of the finest displays of being on the "same page" I've ever witnessed! What I wouldn't give for a banjo and violin and another hour of jamming!

[@redcalx9568]

[@78tag]

..... the only thing I can add is that I could have the talent to have been that banjo player :)

[@098Exile]

oh .. you´re welcome...@@78tag .. I´ll take the "waschbrett"... later 🙂

[@HWR71]

5:38 ~ How they change the roles is just unbelievable. I bet 99% of the listeners (and viewers as well) do not even recognize that both guitarists change between improvisation and accompaniment and back again. So great! Two absolute masters.

[@erivers71]

Richard smith = guitar master of the highest caliber.

[@mrwakacorp]

Richard is a true master. It's incredible.

[@joshuamacgrath136]

[@peterjordan1649]

I've been playing for 64 years, and this is the best jam session, including the younger, less experienced players, I've witnessed in that time. If you don't include the younger players, how are they to learn to be confident and learn to "have a go" and be exposed to really good players, so to improve their abilities.. Great video.

[@leonardocabrera1327]

is funny how the best perfomances are in this kind of contexts where nobody seems to listen or to enjor, except for the musicians.. thanks for the share akira!!! beautiful moments of pure music and musicians :)
