Two Of The World's BEST Acoustic Players In One Room! | Guitar Village

[@lw216316]

You may never play as well as Tommy or Mike but there is one thing you can do as well as them. You can ENJOY your playing (no matter your skill level) as much as they do! So enjoy what you can do and continue to learn. Be blessed.

Them doing shows is fine, but Mike and Tommy SHOULD record an ALBUM together. 20 songs, the ultimate acoustic experience. Please Mike and Tommy, do that.

I've lost count how many times I've gone back to this video just to hear this golden duo make the guitar come to life. Truly something special...

[@FairyHomeFun]

It Cheers the soul to see Tommy Emmanuel so happy again.

[@00708046]

As Mike said , Tommy can play anything . It's the exposure to different styles that let Tommy grow and let his accompliss grow as well. That fact that Tommy and Mike are both so skilled and aware of feelings allows them both to move in so many directions , even uncharted directions . I know that they are enjoying the exchange. It's just so great !

Just saw Tommy in Fort Lauderdale and got to meet and talk with him. I was so blown away with his sheer joy and generosity. Changed my life!!

[@anoniem7062]

I can imagine. Tommy's attitude is every so humble. Just a great guy who happens to play the guitar virtuously, but that's not worth mentioning, if you'd ask Tommy, I'm sure. ☺

[@MaryBethVieha]

@@anoniem7062 So very true!!! He's just out there doing what he absolutely loves ... and is doing it HIS way!!! So glad he never compromised his talent!

[@mikesands2599]

I met Tommy and John Knowles when the played together at the Birchmere in VA a few years back. I dragged my sister along and she loved it! We had the chance to speak with these great musicians after the concert. So generous with their time and good nature. Wonderful, special people.

[@ianthompson9230]

That was joyous, you beautiful people. Thank you

[@andreprovost7738]

I'm a musician and I'm a good guitar player. The quality of that performance is totaly out of this world! I listended both of you on different videos, I take some Tommy's lecons on Internet, but the chemistry of you two is beautifull. Love you guys 🙂

[@michaeldavey8098]

Yep i like to think i have some measure of musical insight. I too play, (badly by their standards ) however these two have an unbelievable congruence utterly astounding and humble with it.

Oh my. It just does not get better than this. Blessed to have watched it.

[@josephlangham9900]

I love starting at 1:17 - 1:22 , Mike played a passing chord that added a different feel for Tommy and Mike's face was like "hmm that worked out!" Tommy looks over and responds with "yeah that was nice!" You can tell they truly love what they're doing, makes me smile.

Damn, I could listen to these two gentlemen orchestrating these instruments all days.

[@timothypotter2137]

Two of the best guitarists I've heard.

[@carliniguitar]

Saw both of these guys in Bend, Oregon late 2022. Then I ran into Tommy while he was in line to buy a muffin at SeaTac airport in late February. I was heading to Italy and he was headed to London "to be grandad" - which, it seems, was the same trip that this performance was filmed over. Super nice, down to earth. I almost asked for a photo with him, but decided not to be that guy, and instead just thanked him for being so inspiring. What a treat to meet the legend in person.

[@russelldavis8415]

What we really NEED, is an ALBUM.

[@taylormedia1000]

The best of one six stringer to another. There's no need for words, simply an exchange of music; beautiful.

[@3carlosprieto7]

Oh my GOD! This has to be some of the Music that sounds in heaven. What a duo!

[@MJ-tg7wv]

Fabulous - I have been lucky enough to see Tommy live in the UK 3 times - once, when I tried to get tickets for the Turner Sims hall in Southampton, I was told they were sold out and would I like to go on a list for any seats that might come up. I said yes but thinking nothing would come of it. I then got a phone call and was told I could get tickets in row AA. So went, really happy to get any seats. Imagine my surprise when I found that these seats were actually on the stage to one side!!! So, we were front row, on the stage and Tommy about 10 feet away!!!!! Beyond awesome!

[@katokidd]

TommyE, the most sensitive banjo player in all the Southern States lol..... I love when 2 amazing musician compliment one another without some kind of competition to establish dominance!! Bravo

[@colinduckworth3875]

God given talent for the world to Enjoy .! Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@angusmoffat]

Imagine acoustic guitar masters like Mike Dawes and Tommy Emmanuel not being in this world. Neither can I.

[@papajeff5486]

NO, NO, NO…

[@loombaron]

its unbelievable the amazing palette of sounds an acoustic guitar can project when played by gifted musicians. Most people only do basic chords or only use it to acompany themselves while singing. When you see this performance you start to get why the manufactures care so much for the selection of the woods, the strings quality, the sonority, all the engineering and craftmanship dedicated to a guitar is destined for perfomances like this.

[@DavidSchilter]

These two are such fun to watch. Whether through their notes or their words, they are great storytellers. And you gotta love their chemistry!

[@vanrozay8871]

It's good that Mike lets Tommy take the lead. They mesh just fine.

[@MexicoAdventurer]

Two of my favorite guitar players.

[@teamtamer]

It's a blast to see two accomplished masters bounce off each other so vibrantly. Dawes is clearly comfortable in the percussive/bass/rythym role, which I think must highlight his achievements as a solo artist. Tommy needs no encouragement to fly across the canvas that Dawes gives him. An amazing partnership.

[@Sevi-Swiss]

Two different generation of guitar players and they fit so well. So great !

[@egverlander]

I couldn't stop listening. Beautiful.

[@alexforshaw]

That was utterly fabulous! What a great couple of guys, such chemistry between them.

[@deeforty]

Tommy has always been one of those guys who I know I'll never in a million years be as good as, but I'm totally fine with that, and Mike is just mind blowing everytime I see him play, these are 2 of the best, surely. Good for the soul.

[@mikekim1219]

Give yourself credit. You can probably play like him if you practice about 99 years 😀

Proud to have purchased my Martin from this wonderful shop in Farnham. Great service without the selling pressure. That's how you do it.

Every time I see and hear Tommy Emmanuel I leave dazed and dazzled. He's a good example of the fact that there is no such thing as "The Greatest Guitarist". Just a bunch of people that bring their unique talents for us all to enjoy.

What beautiful playing. Guitar Village is such a great guitar shop. I travelled a few 100 miles there to get a bucket list acoustic about 15 years ago, because I knew they had all the ones I wanted to try, and would be able to play them side by side. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating, and I got a Martin D28 that still fills my heart with joy whenever I pick it up. Love those guys, and love that store.
