Martin Taylor Interviews Tommy Emmanuel About Fingerstyle Guitar and Jazz Guitar Lessons

[@Ccbroo]

One of the best things to watch is two outstanding artists play together... the musical effect doesn't just add up, it multiplies. Just wow.

[@whish86]

you guys get out jogging and stay around for the next 30-40 years. so beautiful

[@SuperMIKEFREE]

Seen these two guys last night in the Ulster Hall Belfast,these guys are seriously good, I had to nip myself "this is not a dream" I'm listening to 2 of the finest guitarists who ever walked the face of this earth. They both got a standing ovation, we felt blessed that we were the FIRST show on the tour. If you appreciate great acoustic playing DON'T MISS THESE GUYS!

[@glennyeah]

can we just acknowledge the fact that this guys name is martin taylor? thats like being named gibson fender

[@willsketchesmusic]

LOL

[@markokecman1177]

ahahahahaaaaaah xD \m/

[@alexandercazares9803]

Hahahahahahaaha,LOL)))))

[@johnpknuckles4739]

Except with decent guitar manufacturers...

[@glennyeah]

JohnPKnuckles you're saying gibson and fender are not decent guitar manufacturers?

[@akanecortich8197]

Taylor and Emmanuel absolutely totally different styles of playing, and that represents their background of coming into guitar playing. Taylor a superb jazz guitar player, fantastic, Emmanuel a superb guitarist without genre limitations. One thing to note about Emmanuel is that he seems to bring out the best playing of all those he teams with, like they try extra hard, because Tommy inspires.

[@johngibson9463]

Martin Taylor is one of the best

[@glennhenshaw7474]

Yea. Couldn't have said it better.

[@cocolossal69]

Yes! I get the same feeling about Tommy. It always seems that whomever he plays with, just digs a little bit deeper 💜

[@ukestudio3002]

Think it goes both ways. Tommy is aware of his skills and limitations and seems to admire those who acquired their skills that equal and surpass his in certain genres. Ego does not get in his way much; he’s about the music. That’s evident.

[@Chris91575]

Is there anything more relaxing in the wide world of music than these guys having fun with the most wonderful instrument?

[@Klampfenheini]

Beautiful conversation of two masters .

[@arkalonalan]

Tommy rubs shoulders with the best guitar players alive. Martin Taylor being case in point. Love seeing those two playing together

[@DjaMelaque]

The interview ends at 4:50

[@darklord220]

Well put man! haha

[@peacecorp8672]

Very true.. the music sums up everything that needed to be talked about..

[@kevinhenderson9841]

Hahahaha brilliant

[@aethelwulf8753]

I have to say too that Martins phrasing in that first solo was fantastic, some of the best I ever heard.

[@JoeHarkinsHimself]

This is an inexpressibly excellent track to sing to. I find so many jazz phrases within the gorgeous structure they provide. Let me sing with Mr. Emmanuel just once before I die.

[@applepiepaul]

I can't stop listening to them! Amazing!

[@alfonsgoffin]

Tommy is a real artist just like Martin. I like the improvisation from Tommy with such a great feeling, He hits the right note's that gives me a great feeling of happiness and sometime sadness! He is also a great human with a great taste of humor. They both great peoples and also guitarists!!

[@masteircheef]

I saw him in arkansas a while back, he was astounding, got to meet him after the show, also anthony snipe, both very humble and great men :) he told me the words i will never forget for as long as i live, "When i play guitar, i don't like when people say ' im goin to burn my guitar now' but i want to inspire people to play music like this for future generations! don't ever stop playing!"

[@alexvilloria]

Name is Martin Taylor? You were born to play guitar.

[@andersestes]

Fender Gibson here. I was born to play guitar

[@bangonthedoortwice]

I come back to this "interview" like i always come back and listen to the Beatles. Its soo cool completely different musicians

[@s22ad]

I'm seeing Tommy & Martin next March! Seen Tommy once before, can not wait.

[@freddym223]

this is not about who is the best . it's about two wonderful musicians making beautiful music together ! they both just have different styles. it don't get much prettier than this !

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Tune at the top is The nearness of you ... Not sure about the outro tune but might be I will wait for you. Looking a forward to seeing these boys tonight in Shepherds Bush

[@satosatoguitar]

素晴らしすぎます。 １０年前にこの動画を初めて見てから、 １年に一度は必ずタイミングがやって来てどうしても聴きたくなるセッションです。 今晩もそうでした。 nora jones の曲だと気づくまで数年かかりました。 以前トミーに会った時、「アドリブのセッションは、うまくいく時もそうじゃない時もある」と言っていましたが、この演奏が「うまく行った時」だったら嬉しいです。 天才同士の奇跡的なセッション。 心に刻もうと思います。

[@2sisyphus]

How fortunate I am! I have seen both of these giants in person. Martin in Green Valley, AZ and Tommy (Tony Enamel) in Hutchinson, KS. I would walk through fire to see them both again! I never get enough of either of them. It is hard to believe that one person could have as much talent as each of them has. Thanks for the video!

[@marswabisabi8918]

If you don't know martin taylor you are not into (jazz) guitar: he is one of the greatest !

[@grnhair2001]

guys, you made me cry. Lovely. If most of us rehearsed for a year, we couldn't come close to your jam.

[@ukestudio3002]

Not really a fan of TE , but he’s always about the music and I love watching the joy he gets as he creates, glancing at his fellow players and/or audience; as fascinated by what comes out, as we are .

[@wowjef]

3.39-3.41. Wes Montgomery lick? I could listen to these guys all day long. What a joy it must be, at the top of the tree.

[@mslmatao]

I tear up every time i revisit this video.

[@jbowerman50]

Martin, you and Tommy together is about as close as anyone will Ever get to Magic!

[@dejongpersie]

what could be better form this? nothing!!! absolutely beautiful.

[@winstonsmith8240]

What beautiful guitar playing from both guys. Magic.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

This is some of the best music I have ever heard, and I have never heard Martin Taylor before!

[@johngibson9463]

Probably because he's not in your normal comfort zone. He's one of the most accomplished players in the jazz world

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

He is in my comfort zone, I like jazz and can see the influnce in his playing. So many great guitarists out there we don't get to see on a big pubic stage.

[@johngibson9463]

Check him out in Wikepedia. He tours in US and Europe and teaches - he is Dr Taylor now

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

He seems pretty shit hot technically, I have watched a few more vids of him now.

[@fusion-music]

Dont know what ur taste is, but Martin Taylor is a must to listen to many of his works. He plays bassline, chord and melody live. Does commercial things like Renault Clio and teaches. "Spirit of Django" is well worth a listen as is his work with Stefan Grapelli. If u see him live u can get a chat with him

[@lloydbowen557]

They get emotional when they play together, so much love and taste with these players…

[@hectorgovea8953]

One of my favourite duos

[@Jazztastic2112]

OMG the most tastiest jam ive heard in a while... brings me too the brink of tears with goosebumps alll over

[@youareveryundude]

this is divine - eargasm... incredible artists, tone... feeling...

[@heycolslaw]

I am satisfied to listen to whatever Tommy plays & whoever accompanies him. Every time I listen it is a treat.***** 5 stars

[@jorgetenamusic]

Masters!! So much talent. This is an absolute joy!!

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

I love the way they say 'yeah' or 'hehee' when they agree with a musical statement the other guy's made. They are on the same wavelength so totally it is like telepathy.

[@puzzlepencilholder]

Martin Taylor is a perfect name for a guitar player. Two of the best acoustic guitar makers Martin and Taylor guitars

[@dpwsworldoffunstuff6901]

nope, the perfect name would be Martin Gibson Taylor. But close enough I guess. LOL :P

[@shadowofthenighthawk]

bobby smith why don't you shut the fuck up

[@dpwsworldoffunstuff6901]

whats your problem?

[@dannyweir8127]

shadowofthenighthawk ha ha

[@acousticsong-guitarco964]

shadowofthenighthawk OK, Let's make it Martin Gibson Taylor Fender, does that suit you? ;-)

[@RikHoward.]

Two legends in the guitar world

[@MrAlan0151]

Lovely to listen to and all without distortion, what a treat.

[@fawwaz1311]

wonderful colaboration

[@cheezervvvvv]

Reminds me of Herb Ellis n Joe Pass two for the road album. Absolutley beautiful the way they play off one another.Taylor not only a masterful guitarist but fantastic interviewer as well.

[@johnpheth]

I caught you guys the other night in Aberdeen, when you play together you're not rock guitarists, jazz musicians or horn players, you're just guitarists! I know people have to put you in a box but you're better off outside the box! The show was the best display of musicianship I've ever seen & I'm still in total awe of your personal & combined talents.

[@jimmmmybrady]

Beautiful,complimentary playing.

[@jeffreyraimondo7217]

I came here not knowing who Martin Taylor was. and I'm leaving a MAJOR fan. He's so smooth with his playing it's almost surreal. Tommy ofcourse is world class. I'm just refreshed finding such a fantastic player playing with one of my favorites.

[@jefft2090]

center front row seat February 2014 show, with both these guys....Great players...if you have an opportunity to see them....GO!!!!!

[@TheDsmartin2210]

I remember hearing Martin for the first time i was 15 and my grandad taped me a thing on the radio featuring guitar players from many styles hosted by Burton Weedon Martin was the "jazz" guy he played "just squeeze me" and immediately I fell in love with his playing and I've bought everything he ever done since. Loved looking around virgin megastore's jazz section as a teen and buying all your linn records Martin you continue to inspire me.

[@whish86]

the world needs more like this...

[@BMaeva]

Always enjoy listening to these two........

[@VK-bb5dd]

Good sir

[@grnhair2001]

I can only watch this once a year or so--the music makes me cry. But in a good way.

[@BoskoCubrilo]

Going to see Tommy live tonight! Cant wait!

[@mdub2000]

man ...... i wish i could play like the both of them....so damn beautiful you can feel it a billion miles away.

[@historicus146]

Great that one can SEE what is going on. These guys should collaborate on a series of videos of these old standards.....imo WOnderful!

[@marvinbnaylor]

I saw them last week in Basingstoke - that's England! and this was a high point...of a show with nothing but high points, I might add! Truly unforgettable.

[@evhwolfgang2003]

man Martin's guitar just sounds fantastic

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

Martin Taylor was born way before Taylor guitars were a thing. But Martin and Taylor guitars should be proud of this guitar phenom. Tommy is also great. They listen to each other so well. A nice conversation between two masters!

[@23sozza]

Two humble legends together, makes them all the more admirable.

[@dingoswamphead]

Two guitar monsters, yet so friendly and beautiful together.

[@wheninlondon]

what a name for an acoustic guitarist!

[@DrRJE80]

must be so much fun to play with someone so good when you're someone that good...that interview started way before they spoke a word.

[@michaelbentley4182]

Stunning, total empathy between them, differing styles yet they ooze class...and compliment each other.

[@SuperRonnie65]

martin taylor has one of the most cleanest guitars I ever heard

[@vhrw]

pure music..... to my ears

[@SocciMatthew]

I'm seeing these two in concert next weekend! Yeaa buddy!

[@DrCook45]

"The world is a small place, but I wouldn't want to paint it!" Pure class

[@Mattcallaway86]

Beautiful, these guys complement each other so well!

[@BMaeva]

This is a beautiful peace.....two greats lovely.....

[@DuxJerome]

I never heard of Martin Taylor before but damn they sound good together. Taylor is a real tearjerker.

[@terryhurley1]

breathtaking

[@Betterthantelly]

Wowsers this is amazing.

[@bluesorgtfo]

this beautiful , this song is called the nearness of you ,

[@alessandrorossini8704]

The two gentlemen mix perfectly together, being different is a great asset, if you put together open minds. 👍🏼

[@rozzerbob]

Manchester, Bridgewater Hall - cracking venue

[@byoungminlee7310]

3:50 It's Amazing harmonics

[@r1n0rodriguez]

I was blown away by the performance of these gentlemen.Wish I could play like them.I'm a big fan.Thank heavens if I can at least have 1/4 of their guitar talent.

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

What a amazing Technic! and good taste! Martin taylor is one of the best jazz guitar player I have ever heard.

[@TSMerritt91]

This put the biggest smile on my face. God bless the power of music. Obviously an enormous amount of work for this to be possible all the credit in the world to them

[@josephblaint777]

12 years late to this, but can anyone tell me what song they played? It was just brilliant.

[@smaklilu90]

this video demonstrates why jazz is classier than any other genre.

[@roblarson9065]

You mean muted strings?

[@MrThreescoops]

I wish I was mates with these two. Two of the all time greatest guitar players. Amazing.

[@kevc-69-]

Wonderful

[@blubblubblub345]

I'm in awe....

[@emlyngriffith5846]

Two amazing players.....great to see.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

How did we get so lucky to live in an era of such great musicians and youtube? When I started we only had records. I even tried to learn a couple Chet Atkins tunes off records.

[@karlab9557]

Love listening to Tommy Emmanuel play guitar, but watching and listening makes it all the more enjoyable, because it's so very evident that he loves it so.

[@marqy007]

Beyond words !!!

[@dwebster50]

I really think that Martin and Tommy are a very interesting pair of guitar players. Martin is so good at accompanying... I am stunned by him playing the Yamaha AEX 1500 .. I believe he was in on the design ....so cool and I would like their CD and the Nichols is fine butthe Taylor Emmanuel would be outstanding Cheers and Thanks for posting Dave Alberta

[@martinaxman2033]

Holy crap! This is fantastic!

[@Theritesound]

gives me cold chills fantastic

[@paulmeinart2851]

I love Tommy's inflection. soul , whatever it is, it's real. going down the Martin Taylor rabbit hole now.

[@JWPMinnesota]

No words are adequate...

[@egilaat]

Go make an album!

[@MARTINATSU]

beautiful

[@1clackerman]

OH Ya. So absolutely delightful for my soul. Thank You both of you.

[@Thill1116]

AMAZING

[@willsketchesmusic]

The bit from 2:19 to 2:30 is sooo good.

[@WebpumpsScripts]

Music is fresh and has a natural feel, I like very much.

[@carlospace7979]

sin palabras, sin palabras, geniussssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

[@kevc-69-]

[@arfurlife]

KZbin knocks the socks off TV. Boy this hits the spot for me. What an upload
