[@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?

[@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.

[@SongsByTroy]

Martin Taylor, what a great name for a guitarist.

[@haanashim]

I'm changing mine to Gibson Santa Cruz, maybe it'll help my playing.

[@sooparticular]

im stratty Collings

[@hifijohn]

there is a guitar player on youtube called dean marzio!!!

[@raymondleemeadows4969]

Im a Martin man myself

[@RingsOfSolace]

Built in publicity in his name lol

[@whish86]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@applepiepaul]

I can't stop listening to them! Amazing!

[@bangonthedoortwice]

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

[@Klampfenheini]

Beautiful conversation of two masters .

[@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.

[@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!!

[@dingoswamphead]

Two guitar monsters, yet so friendly and beautiful together.

[@lloydbowen557]

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

[@arkalonalan]

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

[@evhwolfgang2003]

man Martin's guitar just sounds fantastic

[@marswabisabi8918]

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

[@aethelwulf8753]

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

[@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 .

[@paulmeinart2851]

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

[@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.

[@jorgetenamusic]

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

[@michaelbentley4182]

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

[@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!

[@jasonedwards6214]

wow, now that's a jam! pure ad-lib - real skill just goes with the flow. love both of these guys!

[@Chris91575]

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

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

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

[@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

[@Mattcallaway86]

Beautiful, these guys complement each other so well!

[@Jazztastic2112]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@alessandrorossini8704]

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

[@MrAlan0151]

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

[@23sozza]

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

[@RichardCowdrey]

Two of the greats. I always love it when Martin let's it fly!

[@jbowerman50]

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

[@heycolslaw]

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

[@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!"

[@1clackerman]

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

[@kevc-69-]

4th night in a row I've watched this, days off work and peace and quiet. wonderful

[@winstonsmith8240]

What beautiful guitar playing from both guys. Magic.

[@youareveryundude]

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

[@dejongpersie]

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

[@s22ad]

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

[@fawwaz1311]

wonderful colaboration

[@grnhair2001]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Betterthantelly]

Wowsers this is amazing.

[@grnhair2001]

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

[@emlyngriffith5846]

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

[@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。

[@mslmatao]

I tear up every time i revisit this video.

[@RikHoward.]

Two legends in the guitar world

[@BMaeva]

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

[@VK-bb5dd]

Good sir

[@6stringwood]

Hey Martin, You and Tommy have done this song justice. Great sound, great picking.

[@alexvilloria]

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

[@andersestes]

Fender Gibson here. I was born to play guitar

[@martinaxman2033]

Holy crap! This is fantastic!

[@hectorgovea8953]

One of my favourite duos

[@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.

[@tkgtomino666]

Beautiful sounds! thank you.

[@BoskoCubrilo]

Going to see Tommy live tonight! Cant wait!

[@terryhurley1]

breathtaking

[@mdub2000]

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

[@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.

[@snfow]

Having fun, chasing , brilliant, love it

[@jimmmmybrady]

Beautiful,complimentary playing.

[@BMaeva]

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

[@cheezervvvvv]

[@steeler3258]

[@jonwill]

Absolutely magnificent!!!

[@levismith2103]

Martin is so damn smooth

[@ripacheco1967]

Amazing to see two completely different personalities and ways to play the guitar working together... Tommy Emmanuel and Martin Taylor... ;)

[@arfurlife]

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

[@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.

[@s22ad]

awesome, enjoy it mate!

[@johnspigelmyer1297]

Perfection ! Plan and Simple !

[@Thill1116]

AMAZING

[@DrCook45]

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

[@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!

[@kevc-69-]

Beautiful

[@DjNikGnashers]

I don't particularly like jazz, but I do appreciate amazing musicians, and this video is incredible.

[@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.

[@sasavid]

Great sound, playing , everything..emotions..BRAVO! Sale Timer
