The Nearness of You Tommy Emmanuel and Martin Taylor

[@Zeta0Hall]

OH man.. that makes my ears feel good

[@sweetsourpork111]

I reckon Martin knows s more about the fretboard than almost anyone. He is a real genius

[@michaelchapman4955]

These great American Songbook Standards from the Late 1920s to roughly the mid-'60s was such a Rembrandt era for American popular music as Martin Taylor & Tommy Emmanuel embrace beautifully here......

[@YOUYOU47110]

Tommy found in Martin Taylor someone as talented and skilled as he is, and in stead of playing a lot of notes the fastest possible, together they're making music just for the love of music. This is just beautiful! They just sound great together, style and tone.

[@moonmunster]

It is so nice to hear Tommy Emmanuel play something slow and sensitive. Martin Taylor is always good.

[@GenePutnam]

Tommy and Martin are just amazing together.

[@mikerichardson8006]

Can you think of another accomplished guitarist whose names are both Martin and Taylor?

[@davidjames4838]

These two playing together is one serious eargasm! In the world of jazz guitar it doesn’t get much better, and Tommy is such a happy player. They get 11 out of 10 from me, superb! ☀️

[@charles3200]

2 masters of the guitar in one place playing one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I love this. ❤️❤️

[@stevelongobardi6870]

We are all so blessed to witness the extraordinary talent from both Martin and Tommy. Theses guys are not only masters at what they do, but they posses the heart and soul to evoke such great emotion... that moves people with their music. They are touring together in UK in 2013, and wish they would come to USA. Two of my vey , very favorite guitar players.

[@yoshimimiyazaki2602]

I am a child of the 60s and I gotta say the first notes of this flooded me with memories of another life.

[@jckelley4198]

Myself included

[@yaoguangtang1759]

So beautiful!

[@MrBillyg51]

Dunno how many times i keep coming back to this. My two favourite virtuosos. Extraordinary masterful playing of a beautiful song. love you guys

[@fungiformenow]

Martin Taylor at the top of his game. Superb!!

[@coffeefcy]

I Just can't help watching it again and again. Martin and Tommy are my guitar heroes, they should work together an album.

[@wowjef]

That fade-out at the end by Martin Taylor ripped the skin off my cappuccino

[@dokcso]

You know you are good, when Tommy Emmanuel holds the Rythm for you. :D

[@dans150]

Hey Tommy, you're every bit as much a pleasure to listen to as ol' Chet. Very nice Martin.

[@34yearkingthegachayoutuber54]

This is SOME GOOD MUSIC FOR ,WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, DINNER PARTYS.JUST PERFECT RELAXING MUSIC. FANTASTIC, MARVELOUS.

[@marshwoodvale4367]

[@jean-lucbersou758]

I am lucky enough to know all these beautiful songs called standards and I feel among few rather privileged to take the most of it.....with some regret for those who can't discover yet all this beauty and ignore it exists here and there ! THANKS to both wonderful musicians Martin TAYLOR and Tommy EMMANUEL .

[@johndavies8956]

A courtship taking place with one guitarist reading the others pickings.

[@pvienings8289]

absolutely beautiful. What Master guitarists both are !!

[@lloydbowen557]

Love and respect for each other. Terrific arrangement. My favourite players, each totally unique, but when they come together it doesn’t get any better… period ❤

[@alward5678]

Two Guitar GIANTS. Wow I hope musician Heaven is like this.

[@fernandozavala7308]

If were ever so blessed 2 attend the marriage supper of the LAMB .CANT EVEN IMAGIN. fz . . .lazurus man

[@georgegawlik1863]

As beautiful as it gets.

[@Bobby007D]

Tommy has fun when he plays . All grins !

[@rudyqualls75]

Now that is guitar playing, great teamwork.

[@mozmal]

This is just staggeringly beautiful.

[@alvistd2168]

Tommy just alway's plays well -so many different styles,

[@mcspikes1]

Beautiful!

[@marvinbnaylor]

I just returned from The Anvil in Basingstoke, where I saw these two play this. Two true artists at the top of their game. It doesn't get any better.

[@Tony94541]

So very beautiful. Wow what a treat. Listening to these guys put a smile on my face. Awesome performance. Now back to my guitar.

[@wowjef]

Hypothesis - Tommy brings out some of the best in Martin. Mutual admiration

[@omwilsonow]

Two God's of the guitar.

[@Winfield8226]

A great song by Hoagy Carmichael. I saw Martin Taylor in Phoenix recently. Superb player, wonderful tone. I've seen Tommy three times. Great fun, great guitar.

[@sesameetsel]

MARTIN TAYLOR est un de mes "guitaristes de jazz préféré, à côté des autres "GRANDS MAITRES" (Wes, Joe Pass, Django, Pat Martino,etc) son DUO avec TOMM Y EMMANUEL, est un "Régal" et quelle sonorité. C'est un DUO merveilleux dans l'interprétation des grands STANDARDS!

[@LuvHrtZ]

I remember getting home late from a gig late one night 'back in the day' and Martin Taylor messaged me on MySpace asking me how I was going. Needless to say, I was gobsmacked and had to ask if it was one of my mates 'taking the piss', but it wasn't and we had a great chat about life, music, the universe and everything. I still find that interaction hard to believe.

[@thomasharris7881]

The art of guitar weaving! Chefs kiss. Beautiful

[@shre.yas.n]

This is feel, shredders and sweepers!

[@TheStringman06]

This is why i am in the music business, thank you who ever for posting-----------------Paul

[@fingerhorn4]

"Business" eh?

[@pilarricomartinez8161]

Dos auténticos genios interpretando al genial Carmikhel.Grandisimos guitarristas y músicos.

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Total masters of guitar playing have so much fun together saw Tommy and Martin live at robins 2 close up show unbelievable greats

[@syn527]

one of the greatest guitar playing ever...

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Two the greatest for the one price. Love the way their styles blend together.

[@cycleoffourths8898]

very compatible musically -- simply beautiful...

[@luigicannizzo2669]

A' Very Special Duet. .. Great Sound' s and Touch Filling on Guitar' s Mood ... ☺😊😉/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

[@BalzeMusic]

Wow che bravi❤

[@firefrets2162]

Anybody wanting to take something from this as a musician might want to consider how well Tommy phrases the melody, and doesn't get carried away with too many notes. Those saying 'Martin has him' are terribly missing the whole point of beautiful restraint.

[@alfonshomac]

OR enjoy whatever you enjoy and let people enjoy whatever they enjoy. That works wonders. Some people enjoy Martin more, some others enjoy Tommy more. I don't like mayo on my sandwiches but It's fine if you do. Neither of us is missing the point of anything.

[@freddym223]

Well said ! This is not a competition . Just two great guitarists making some beautiful music !

[@dennissmock1522]

You are absolutely right. Everyone has their own style of playing. So glad to hear from a real musician. Thank you.

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

I agree. The choice of notes he plays are exquisite, and only a seasoned player can make it sound this authentic.

[@evangelinebeltran365]

With Tommy Emmanuel, it’s all about the music! Well said, Ffrets.

[@ollarik]

In one word: LOVELY!

[@dwebster50]

Yes oh yes.. Martin has such powerfull leads ...that really is the best you will ever hear or ever feel...He shows his heart and dedication to an instrument that I am glad to hear that he is recording with TE. 2 men that have played the world , all on one recording ...He brings back the true muscianship that 2 masters bring to a stage... Imagine being there live ...wow Thanks for posting Dave Alberta

[@linchanghaan1972]

[@billtomlinson8157]

[@csabasemler6806]

[@TrevorMarty69]

Wow, what a wonderful movement into music this video is. Thanks y'all.

[@ininourden7729]

i can't stop listen to them , so beautiful

[@emjaybee63]

It doesn't get much better than this. Great standard and great playing by two of the World's best guitarists. Can't wait to see them on the 12th of next month in Barnstaple. I was lucky enough to spend a day with Martin and the great Ike Isaacs many years ago, but I've never met Tommy .... really looking forward to that. Mike

[@charlye134]

bel pezzo!!!! cuore puro!!!!!

[@sanpedromharia4767]

[@rudyqualls75]

Beautiful inspirational version f Hoagy Carmichael tune.

[@linchanghaan1972]

I like this version!

[@busanletman]

fantastic

[@herdingcats3850]

A marvelous artist. Where has he been hiding?

[@coffeefcy]

[@barrywatson5038]

[@TheStringman06]

[@davidyates4819]

Frighteningly immaculate

[@kingusmcgee]

Hoagy Carmichael wrote the music to this beautiful ballad. Great guitar playing, too

[@gracenotesguitar]

Wonderful playing, love it.

[@TheVinciol]

is this real? it is just unbelievable beautiful

[@janicegeorge-allen1924]

The nearness of you :-)

[@TheGuitarManUK]

fantastic! Can't wait for more.

[@helloimRENO]

a great conversation

[@sblack48]

It’s interesting that they go together so well since they are such different players

[@lorenzopetrocca]

nice

[@abrahamgottfried2791]

Wow

[@vladobozinoski101264q]

Beutiful

[@chriskebeck5421]

Very nice, but listen to Benny Chong's version on the uke with only 4 strings!

[@otaviosilva3654]

Beginner Extra easy Easy Moderate Sungha Jung Regular Hard Very Hard Extra Hard Impossible Super Human Martin Taylor and Tommy Emmanuel..

[@caseyspaos448]

Haha! Sungha Jung is the Andean pan flute band of guitarists

[@alfonshomac]

***** lmao lost my shit at that comment mate, thank you

[@juancpgo]

Sungha plays much better than regular.

[@Appleholic1]

..and that is as far as you can go.

[@wallycherry]

As much as i love Tommy, Martin has him here. Thanks for the post.

[@LuvHrtZ]

+Randy Cherry As much as I love Martin, he's playing too many "standard jazz" licks whereas Tommy is playing what he feels, which is what it's all about.

[@hillshepherd9444]

WTH That's Heaven NOT hell...........................a privilege to hear.

[@colotron]

They are! Comes out in November! This is on it :D

[@Smoothways]

While Martin is the better technician and the more versatile craftsman, Tommy ads more feeling to his playing. I must say I have great respect for Martin' s skills and technical abilities but I cant warm to him as much as I could to Wes, Joe or this Tommy.

[@flexabustbergson6141]

too bad the editor doesnt know ho to edit coz this is gold!

[@ziechfred]

George Benson 1:05

[@hillbillymanjackson]

Why dont they change the "like" button to "LOVE IT ALOT" button.

[@kingusmcgee]

Performers, singers & musicians only as good as the composer. The underlying person who usually is never mentioned is the composer, who is Hoagy Carmichael who wrote it in '38

[@sunglelive]

Very nice, but sound only right channel

[@willgalison]

Perfection? I think so

[@akanecortich8197]

I like jazz guitar, but too much of it, is too much. I prefer Tommy's style, which you can listen to non stop.
