[@carlosperez-jt3wb]

Every once in a while, on any given day, I journey back to this video (take 46) to listen yet again because to me it exemplifies perfection. The tone, the feel, the variations, the dynamics are just heaven. I just can't help but to keep coming back !

4:17 joscho throws out a “in the hall of the mountain king” reference and tommy immediately echoes in his comping without missing a beat. Now thats musicality.

[@brzozek9669]

Absolutely amazing...

[@almitritzigane]

Fantástico!!!!

[@abellachrismarvint.553]

exactly. you will never pull it off like this without their brilliant minds

[@SagnikMukhopadhyay]

This seems like an idea that Tommy planted early on @2:40. You can see Joscho smiling then. Joscho then took it and ran with it with a complete mountain king motif.

[@brunocoliveira89]

BOTH of these men are simply 'off the charts' with anything they play! Two of the very best guitar players in the world! Ahhhh!

[@leecaughill853]

Wow this is so relaxing. My late husband was a guitar player and I miss impromptu guitar mini concerts

[@smaklilu90]

when Tommy Emanuel solos, he always remind you to remember the main theme in every phrase beside the new ideas he incorporate in between. That is a craft that differentiate a seasoned soloist from a mediocre one !

[@leobird8756]

Agreed, many times those who play lines as fast as they can would sound twice as good at half the speed! More room to think and feel

I really like how both gentlemen have equal guitar parts. No one steals the show. Two fabulous guitarists! Thanks for the great vid!

[@papamilo2671]

I never heard guys playing acoustic so well together . balance and the air between. This is my alltime favorite.

[@antoinerinie]

Joscho Stephan is the first guy I have heard that is reaching Tommy's level in terms of feeling, musicality and virtuosity. Incredible.

[@jellyproductions3767]

long time fan of tommy, first time hearing joscho and i must say it's really sweet, great pair.

[@revhill819]

Disagree respectfully, there’s just so much texture in Tommy’s playing and the guitar…and his solo sounds more like a song melody

[@davidlarondelle2326]

VERY musical and expressive. Clean plaing with attention to the elements of music such as volume, dynamics, tone, rhythm, vibrato, staccato, etc. VERY soulful This way of playing is what sets Tommy Emmanuel above most others. Beautiful music.

[@swingmanu9969]

@@OjoRojo40 Joshko is playing his style, while Tommy Emmanuel is out of his own field... Tommy is still good enough, and always tasty. If you know the style, you can see that Joshko doesn't do too much, to not emphasize the difference. savoir vivre

[@OjoRojo40]

@@swingmanu9969 Savoir vivre de quoi?? I love Emmanuel but Josho is definitely more skilled, watch any of his videos, the guy is just an alien, maybe the best guitar player alive. " If you know the style, you can see that Joshko doesn't do too much, to not emphasize the difference. savoir vivre". Can you explain me this sentence please? You are saying that he's emphasizing too much his style. Have a good day!

[@swingmanu9969]

@@OjoRojo40 Don' t answer too fast! No matter what Tommy Emmanuel plays, he always makes it sound good, or preferably "good enough". He has a trademark sound of his own, but he shares the stage playing other styles, where he's not as good. In doing this, he take chances... In return, Joshko manages to not play his most demonstrative style, so Tommy will not look bad... That's what I call "le savoir vivre" : make sure everybody feels fine when you're in a good position. And, last but nor least, I couldn't care less who's the best guitarist in the world, and who's not... By the way, there's one thing you may not know: these very fast and furious manouche styled guitarists are a hundred per cent better in non-professionnal conditions , because the quality of the pickups or mics imposes them fast playing, when acoustic(or low amplification) conditions allow them the soulful slow playing that is lacking in their shows. It's not just about speed...

[@Thursdaym2]

Not too many can hold their own with El Maestro but Joscho can.

Tommy is my lifelong idol, but hearing Joscho play for the first time is otherworldly.. I’ve replayed this solo of his a few hundred times today. I’ve never heard somebody fit several styles of guitar into one solo let alone with such ease.. The rise he gets out of Tommy says it all 😂 What a treat, thank you for sharing with the world..

[@georgebrewer5116]

Two masters of their instruments. Listen once to just enjoy the music. Watch their hands the second time around. Watch their faces the third. Just found Stephan. Some players contort their mouths to the point one just focuses on their hands and the music. Stephan's eyebrows are fun to watch. Some times I catch his jokes. Emmanuel is always entertaining.

[@fabuniverse3908]

You know, the virtuosity in this is obviously amazing but my favourite part of this video is the beginning and the way the chords start along side the melody. It's such a beautiful song and chord progression.

[@jckelley4198]

When these guys play I go way back when I was a kid watching and listening to fine players and nothing else came to mind. It wasn't fame, or money, or competition. It was pure magic and nothing else. Still is
