Jerry’s Breakdown | Tommy Emmanuel & Richard Smith

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

Keep practicing guys. You'll get there one day 😊

[@42lookc]

LOL! That's funny!😂

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

@@42lookc ;)

[@turolretar]

The key is keeping “there” vague

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

@turolretar all the best ones are just getting started. :) I had no idea that my there would ever be anywhere close to here and it's a long way to their there but some of it sounds like things I can do. That's pretty cool with me. I like to scramble around and try to keep up with these guys, Chet and Jerry, and a few others. I can't keep up but I'm getting further from embarrassing myself every day. Some local VFWs are about to find out ;)

[@chopperdeath]

Hahaha m8!

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

In his song "Nashville Cats" John Sebastian mentioned that the guitar pickers could 'pick more notes than the number of ants on a Tennessee ant hill'. Here ya go...lol

[@NC_Travels_45]

I love John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful

[@dougpoynter1884]

Nashville Cats was written about Danny Gatton! Sebastian tells the story on KZbin!

[@mosrite60]

Great cover. We now can understand what an amazing guitar player Jerry Reed was. Wrote many tunes that Chet recorded and many other artists as Richard/Tommy.

[@ralphnoe7368]

There comes a time when words alone cannot express the joy, wonder and amazement of two of best guitar players on earth displaying their skill on a complicated, layered and intricate piece that the late Jerry Reed wrote. They make it look easy and have fun doing it. Just sit back and enjoy.

[@DGA2000]

Dayum! These guys are so good they can't be human...

[@coryCuc]

Saw both Tommy and Richard in Dallas a few months back and hands down the best show I've been to. Unbelievable.

[@danlaur7973]

RIP Jerry Reed!

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

@@danlaur7973 how’s he gonna rest with killer pickin’ like that?!!? Lol Jerry was THE MAN

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

Two guitar masters playing another guitar masters masterpiece.. Amazing playing as always. !

[@stevetafoya6287]

Jerry reed, one of the most underrated and under appreciated guitarists ever! Tommy and Richard are fingerpicking monsters! I would love to see these two guys just sitting around hamming it up and having fun!

[@johncarterbrown991]

Brilliant. I love it.

[@anubis667]

Insane skills

[@billbinnings4347]

It would appear that Richard's and Tommy's guitar lessons are going VERY well. Stick with it chaps, you could be great players one day. Holy s**t.

[@brucestewart5939]

The only two legends who can't and won't out do one another!! Simply amazing!

[@alexleech4490]

...Then you've *got* to see Chet and Jerry doing it live!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJqbfHWeo8qVrac&start_radio=1

[@daf827]

I have to pick my jaw off the floor. Dueling virtuosos.

[@42lookc]

Two Greats saluting another Great! That's great! 🙂

[@Smokinleroy2]

I witnessed a warmup performance of this song up close backstage at their Dallas show last November. A day I will never forget.

[@michaelclemensen8475]

It doesn`t get better than this . Two of the best guitarplayers in the world playing together . I am absolutely a BIG fan 😄👌🤩

[@JackFlaps]

I love how much they enjoy and respect each other

[@musicman_1981]

Real musicians never get old! It's just awesome, guys! You made me smile! You made my day! )))

[@mrwakacorp]

Absolutely magnificent!

[@LeviLongoria]

Man, these guys play it faster than the original chet and Jerry version. This is a tough song. Those are some seriously impressive skills.

[@MrArqferri]

Well done boys! Best wishes from Argentina

[@anthonymurray5216]

You guys have such fun! :-)

[@ronaldjspolar1501]

These two are amazing.

[@davidmckenzie420]

How have I missed this video...Wonderful. I like this version as much as the more famous one with Jerry and Chet.

[@LeConquichante]

I like that I can hear Chet's version in Tommy's own interpretation. Hope to catch Richard's 2023 US tour! Love your take on this & on Struttin", among them all!

[@paulconnelly4050]

I'm stunned at how these guys replicate Chet and Jerry. Richard Smith is absolutely amazing. Tommy goes a bit more improv and adds his own twist but superb. Its so good to see them continuing the legacy.

[@ericcommarato7727]

one word...effortless.

[@timwalcott6268]

Now that’s some real pickin! Amazing talents by both .

[@jonginder5494]

This has the feel of Tommy and Phil ❤❤❤

[@NikulPrasad]

Elite level ac guitar playing ladies and gentlemen

[@Qsxps]

Half these comments don’t understand how easy he really makes that nylon look to play he fr played so effortlessly and precisely

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

I was actually thinking how much trouble this seemed to give him. These guys can make a guitar do whatever they want. They both seemed just slightly off their game here. I am of course talking machine tolerance because who they are. Still fantastic though

[@Qsxps]

@@WoodworkingforAnyone I agree they’re both better players than they are showcased in this video but this is still something that 90% of people couldn’t do and something I work towards everyday

[@야-l8z]

Is it hard to play jerry’s breakdown on nylon?

[@Qsxps]

@@야-l8z it’s generally considered hard to play jerry’s breakdown I would say

[@martinwalsh1231]

Superb!

[@topintn]

Wonderful!

[@duelenigma7732]

thankful to see this quality at my finger tips

[@VforVallee]

You know you’re doing something bonkers when Tommy Emanuel is playing rhythm bass for you..

[@alonzogarbanzo]

Yeah, I once was at one of Doc Watson's last concerts with a young guy playing second guitar. When the second guy took a lead I couldn't wondering what that must have felt like: holy s**t, my rhythm guitar backup is Doc freakin WATSON.

[@eduardodepaz6267]

¡¡Vaya par de fenómenos!!👏👏👏👏

[@rogermurphy7523]

Totally Awesome! 🎶🎸🎸

[@weshtascapte3593]

delicious!!!thank you!i m trying to learn the base of that song!!!and your recipe is...delicious,again!!!

[@kellypeterson2625]

So freaking good.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Very nice rendition. For whatever reason, many play this too fast. Your tempo is perfect. Great picking.

[@Erin_G]

Wow! You guys are legend..I hope I could be as good as you..

[@wolfie316781]

My god that was so good Richard is slicker than you know what and Tommy is always a powerhouse

[@edgarcruzguitar]

So Good to call you my Friends! We might get better if we practice some more!

[@iamkalewillis]

If anyone ever gets better than Tommy or Richard let me know

[@jubbaronny]

I think when Brooks Robertson is their age, he will be.

[@815scorpius7]

[@nolovedrjones9668]

Check out Martin Tallstrom's version of this tune. Absolutely insane.

[@Sanarlab]

Josho Stefan

[@doalaboo7090]

Jerry reed? Glen campbell? Both pretty close i think

[@dblair1258]

Stellar!

[@austenrobinson2747]

Shows just how good Jerry was. And another CGP playing Jerry tune. This is a tough one to play but for these two not so much. Great job gentlemen.

[@mymasterdude]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do sweeps on an acoustic guitar before. Actually crazy.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

My idea of 'world music'. A Brit and an Aussie covering the Alabama Wildman like nobody else. Love it!

[@oliveroneill1388]

Stupid statement.

[@coolhandluke2310]

I swore I saw smoke coming off those strings 😂😂😂❤.

[@krupkamusic]

Gonna try and learn this... wish me luck

[@deanmartin541]

gr8 guys

[@LittleMAC78]

I love that, although Tommy's solo was different, there was a tribute to when Chet Atkins played it with Jerry Reed and Chet did the 'sweep picking' which Tommy also used in his solo. I'm aware Tommy can pretty much play anything but I think that part was intended to honour Chet :)

[@45156]

Damn - I've broken the like button

[@LoneWolf-McWeed]

Hey Tommy please do something with Justin Johnson

[@thebuddybud]

BRAVOOOOO

[@tatekaste7238]

I must be called jerrys breakdown because i had a breakdown trying to play it

Excuse me while I retrieve my jaw from the floor!

Imposible superar

[@hemana3859]

Tommys like a stoner tryin not to laugh too much, lol. Love it. I laugh out loud all the time watchin Richard. Therapeutic.

[@DuncanEduardo]

There's a lot of Django in Richard. Impressed by him. Even Tommy is clapping at the end

[@thenaturalmidsouth9536]

Jerry Reed is smiling somewhere right now.

[@ВасилийКожин-с3ъ]

К музыке претензий нет , но , Ричард , ну блин и рубашка! А вообще то , спасибо , ребята!

[@talkingdogmusic4349]

After watching this I have determined I just got a defective guitar because certainly I should be able to play like these guys, right?!

[@lestergeez4349]

Any chance you can slow that down? I'm missing one note. 😂

[@denisvieille121]

je joue comme ça mais pas plus de 9 secondes, après j'ai des crampes ! ces gars là doivent être dopés pour jouer aussi longtemps et aussi bien... .
