Private Concert - G4 2017 Joe Satriani, Tommy Emmanuel play "Stevie's Blues" and "Johnny B Goode"

[@bripslag]

I don't recall ever seeing a guitarist have as much fun as Tommy does when playing. He simply exudes joy every time I see him play.

[@shreddykrueger3776]

It's a part of his act. He's an entertainer and quite witty.

I've read an interview with Tommy where he credits his mother for teaching him that it wasn't enough to play the guitar well.. you had to engage with the audience and be an entertainer. I think he might have listened to her!

Tommy Emmanuel is like fountain of positive energy. Not many other humans are like him, let alone guitar players.

[@luciasolinas6344]

Y la traduccion

[@TheHeinrichSymposium]

He did not buy a guitar to punish his ma. Anger does fuel the expression of a lot of guitarists, but not Tommy.

[@theseoldhands532]

Tommy channeling his brother ❤ much love to the Emmanuel’s and Joe for being an incredibly humble human being

[@espjem2474]

I remember the first time I saw Tommy play live, it was at a music exhibition/guitar show at the RNA show grounds in Brisbane in the late 80's. I had only just started playing and fell in love with the then new Ibanez jem 777 which was on display at the Ibanez stand. My Dad was with me and he said let's go and see Tommy play at one of the stages. I had never even heard of him before but my dad was a fan. I knew we were about to be blown away when he come on the stage and introduces himself and then says " For those who haven't seen me play before, don't worry I won't break the guitar!" He definitely didn't disappoint.

[@iliveinsin]

Tommy Emmanuel was the first concert I attended when I was 13 in Australia. Got to see him again when I was 16. Both concerts were him electric with his full band. Huge sound and amazing band. He was my inspiration as a guitarist. He is such a down to earth, likeable and natural entertainer. I'm glad over time he has achieved the global recognition he deserves. 🎸🤘

[@Darvistas]

I share your exact story, Launceston Tasmania when 13 years old 😊 blew my mind, still does

[@christinemiele6078]

How much fun it is to see Tommy completely rock out! Love it.

[@anthonycashero7605]

The whole week was fantastic.

[@20centswortht91]

When Joe openly humbles himself and bows to Tommy it is a true mark of respect.... it would have been amazing to have heard Tommy play with SRV as neither of them needed to look at what they were doing coz they were so 'in the zone'... awesome !!

[@Cobbmtngirl]

“This time he’s got a real guitar” 😂 Tommy is the man! Joe too of course. ❤them both.

[@vickil.1388]

This is great, Satriani is having fun. Excellent.

[@AdamR320]

I'm happy that Joe Satriani, a person who I immensely respect and admire, also thinks that Tommy is just on another level. There are many levels of great, but very few people ever become a transcendent master at something as artful as being a musician. Tommy is one such person.

[@richardmotel6623]

I never compare musicians talent but tommy loves what he does and i cant stop smiling the whole time he plays!!!

[@ForrestKB]

I was there and it awesome! Once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[@andreghouse6069]

Joe Satriani is such a gentleman. He would make any top ten list of the best guitarists in the world, and the respect he pays to Tommy is humbling to watch.

[@phenixreturns]

joe is humble, nice like all his fans the way to be a guitar hero if not > bad players:)

[@bripslag]

The respect to Tommy is deserved, and you can see Tommy respects Joe (and Phil) as well.

[@MartinLohmueller]

These are three guitarists that changed my life while getting older. It started with the DefLep guy Phil Collen, it continued with Satch and finally I discovered T.E. So for me this lineup is pretty off the charts.

[@braddenyar3641]

And Tommy is a true gentleman too, met him years ago at Downtown Music in Annandale, I was a kid and he still chatted to me for ages and taught me how to tune my guitar so it would stay in tune.

[@d.8362]

This is the most awesome video. Seeing Joe Satriani give his stage to Tommy Emanuel.!!! Awesome job all. I hope everybody knows about Tommy Emanuel, everybody already knows who Joe is. I'm 50 and.only learned about Mr. Emanuel a year ago Super artist. Maybe I've been living under a rock...'nuff said.

He is great but i do not think he is amongst the beat that ever lived. There are and have been guitarist just as good and or better. SRV, EVH and many more

[@punishr36]

Well Dion there is no bigger Eddie fan than myself as I was trying to learn his shit in the late 70's. I'm an accomplished guitarist and I couldn't say this with the amount of deserved passion that Tommy is by far the most incredible acoustic guitarist I have ever seen (3) times. SRV had a smooth style with some great licks and could write and sing and perform and was incredible. EVH is the most innovative electric guitarist to have ever lived. He could have retired after eruption as a god. But Tommy is so versatile and creative. He plays drums on the damn guitar, go check it out and enjoy. Cheers from Canada.

[@zeljkotomic4517]

I press Like before watching the video. With this genious artist, you cant be wrong if you do that.

[@markpr73]

Holy shit! That first cut was awesome! Joe's rhythm playing during Tommy's lead runs was worth the price of admission alone.

[@tedhoeborn2310]

I've been to 12 Tommy concerts since 2008....geez, what a talent. It's hard to believe that somebody can master an instrument like that until you see it.

[@topografer]

I am never getting bored of what Joe Satriani has to play

[@kodiakfamily8032]

That was great! I never would have thought Satch and a telecaster would have been on the same stage! What I liked the most was Joe's subtle rhythm guitar on the first half of Stevies song. Reminded me kind of Steve Luthaker on Rossana. Very nice, very subtle. Tommy - what a guitarist and entertainer. You can just tell, he loves music and loves sharing. I think he is one of those extraordinarily rare guitarist that can literally be dropped in any venue and shine. Phil sounds great as well! Great post!!!

[@barnesen]

Two of the greatest guitarists, with such different styles... The guitar is the best instrument ever.

Without question these are two of the very best guitar players on the planet. Would love to have heard more of Tommy's guitar but having the cam next to Joe's stack smoked him out. Still an awesome clip. Not only is it rare to see a private concert, it's super rare to see a private concert with two monster guitarists. Big props to whoever recorded this.

I was watching this and reflecting back to the 80s when concerts and jams like this would happen at shows in the San Francisco Bay Area and video cameras were not allowed in so the only people enjoying these "magic moments" were those in attendance.

I don't think anyone can beat Tommy on acoustic guitar. He has no equal from anyone I know of or have seen. How he manages to have exceptional rhythm, melody and beat at the same time is just Godly. As an electric guitarist he's as amazing and holds his own against any virtuoso blues/rock guitarist.

[@mwhearn1]

big fan of all three. being in Australia I've only seen tommy live (three times). I couldn't help but notice how rockin' it sounds when he is playing rhythm. he has the most amazing ear and can pick up a song so quick. about ten years ago, I was listening to the radio and it was country music week up in Tamworth (our version of Nashville). Tommy was in the radio studio did his interview and played a couple of songs. the announcer asked him to stay and play guitar for the singers lined up to be on the show. Tommy did, and played amazing guitar for about a dozen singers who did a couple of songs each. only at the end of the show did Tommy tell us that he had never heard any of the songs before, he was playing by ear the whole time. total freak!

[@bobsaturday4273]

"dozen singers who did a couple of songs each" thats impressive ...but why does it fail to surprise me ?

[@TheBlueGumby]

It's funny, these guys get on stage together with nothing but mutual respect and the joy of playing together. No egos, sharing solos... It's pure magic up there. It's only when you read some of the comments that you remember how much people suck. It's a bucket load of "my hero is better than your hero". FFS just enjoy the moment.

[@waynemanna1402]

Great to see another one of these odd little gems on KZbin. Some pretty heavyweight guitar talent. Emmanuel has long been an amazing guitarist and if anything he keeps getting better. I remember him as a much younger man doing all sorts of stuff. Accoustic and electric with his brother Phil (sadly now departed, but also a fantastic guitarist); electric with Dragon (for one album), with Southern Star Band backing Doug Parkinson, playing (very respectable) drums with Goldrush, touring and playing accoustic with Mike McClellan - just an incredible and versatile musician. Satriani is also amazing and Collen, who perhaps I have only thought of as a very good but not great guitarist really holds his own in very, very elite company. That must have been one incredible concert.

[@WreckOfLamb]

Tommy E is the best guitar player alive.

[@SimonBrisbane]

*One of the best. There is no “best” like there is no “best” composer. He is truely epic and there are others also at epic level. That’s taking nothing away from Tommy either, he will always be a great. We are all richer for the many greats. Tommy himself was inspired largely by another legend - the amazing Chet Atkins.
