It was after one of the night concerts, he was teaching a young man some tune and I was there. He told us some stories, then I asked him if he could play “One Mint Julep” for us. He grabbed my guitar and played the song. And then, Richard Smith came and they started jamming.

Watching this is fascinating…they are not performing a show. They are playing with and for each other. Richard is working out a harmony part with Tommy’s assistance. As an amateur guitar player, watching this is amazing. I actually made me a little emotional.😍

[@daughertyr22]

Smith was born in Beckenham, England. He picked up the guitar when he was five years old after watching his father playing an Atkins and Travis version of "Down South Blues". He begged his father, a longtime Atkins admirer, to introduce him to the fingerpicking style. Smith soon became a child prodigy on the guitar. At the age of 11 he shared the stage with his idol when Atkins invited Smith to play with him at Her Majesty's Theatre in London.

Daugherty r 22 When Tommy was playing Mr Smiths guitar I noticed what appeared to be a unique nut on that guitar. Perhaps it was some sort of capo , but I really couldn't tell. Can you shed any light on that ? Thanks and thanks for that quick bio.

[@thearabianmage]

Kenny Bluet pretty sure it’s a capo he rests behind the nut when he’s not using it.

[@kennybluet5527]

@@thearabianmage thanks. I thought of that but thought it might have been there for a specific purpose other than to just sit there waiting to be used. I was thinking could it possibly be some sort of custom made capo that was secured just below the nut , in order to utilize the whole fretboard. You know , as opposed to putting it on the second or third etc.

[@brianmilligan1787]

He Is Amazing AGE 5 I feel he Must Of Been Musicaly Gifted In A Prior Life & This will Continue A Pure Genius

[@renkessler5476]

They collaborate so well together. They may be the only pickers in the world that can keep up with each other.

[@GraeneyMac]

Akira, you were destined to be there with your camera that evening. Just imagine that these seven video clips had not been filmed. I dread too. These gifted men are in their element, playing informally in each other's company and you informally captured the moment to perfection. To say that I am grateful would be an understatement. Thank you for a treasure.

[@MichaelSmith-tf4cp]

I could just sit there and listen to them jam all afternoon!

[@peteremig6244]

It's remarkable the encyclopedia of songs that run through these guys minds... It just never seems to end and, regardless of the number of players that jump in to join them, they all know what part they will play instantly.

[@mrmnms]

I can imagine anyone in the room not being captivated by these 2 gifted players. They may never hear this excellent level live ever

[@yohenson]

you dont need to imagine. you can hear the rest of the crowd just busy chattering on their issues. what i don't understand what these people go guitar retreat when they actually dont listen..or perhaps it was a break. and I'm quick to judge...

[@erivers71]

Wow, two legends together! Guitar shredders of highest caliber. I d could listen to them all day long!

[@Pan3405]

Such a pleasure to watch Tommy and big bear Richard play!!!!

[@michaelclemensen8475]

It does not get better than this ! Two of the finest guitar-entertainers in the world jamming . So sweet music . I`ll never get tired of this . 😉🤩

[@brianthompson2089]

Tommy always projects that he's having a really good time with his music!

[@garst59]

It seems as if TE is having a good time. He's not. Oh, I'm sure he actually believes he is having fun, but he's not. TE only "thinks" he is happy. Poor soul.

[@1000000trs]

Fascinating to see a couple of top pro's working together to do their thing: perfecting. So relaxed, yet not being able to resist just one more run through, only stopping when satisfied it's right. And the genius Tommy as always, so generous, and so happy, whenever wherever, so long as there's a guitar involved. Thanks for posting - great to see.

[@akira808cjp]

Thank you. Glad you like it!

[@dennisferraioli8169]

Sitting there with my mouth open realizing how truly wonderful these guys really are..Thanks Tommy for all the listening pleasure you have given me over the years

[@davidhughes7174]

Well said.

[@chriswilliams1096]

Such a joy to see and hear two great musicians in their prime.

[@jeffloewi5632]

Unreal talent, unreal communication, just so great to watch.

My two favorite living guitarists.

TWO MAGIC MUSICIANS ! GOD HAS CREATED THE LAWS OF MUSIC AND HARMONY - just to show us a little bit of PARADISE .but he also let us know , that the way to the PARADISE OF MUSIC is a hard one . greetings from Germany to TOMMY und RICHARD !

[@LiefTheDroid]

This makes me remember some years ago, when me and a friend would just hang out and play for hours and hours, and mostly our conversations were literally like this hahahah. So much fun!! Ofc we we're not playing NEARLY at this level of play, but it was a blast! Watching this two monsters playing is just wonderful!

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

They like that ending so much, that they can not stop playing it. 🤗

[@CharcoalChaos]

They have/are more fun just jamming than most bands have playing Great session ✊❤️✊

[@bbfoto7248]

+Akira Satoyoshi Thanks so much for capturing this! LEGENDS and so down to earth. What an awesome experience for you! 👍

[@michaelives1018]

I’m fascinated by what must have been a historically significant moment as this video captured a room full of the most oblivious human beings to have ever been gathered in one audience.

[@irvinslagter8298]

Just goes to show ya that even the very best players can still learn something new and are tickled when they do! It made their day.

[@ferpirata76]

This video is so great for any músic lover! Tommy Emmanuel's inspiration comes from a beautiful and always joyful soul. Thanks for posting!!!

[@jackdetripper]

Absolutly divine ... It's great see you and Richard together.

[@gailbowman1690]

I am so amazed by these two genius musicians! Thank you for your excellent playing!

[@josephcrebuck9230]

I smiled, laughed, stomped my foot and slapped my thigh. What fun...Thank You gentlemen!!

[@davidhughes7174]

Definitely tapping my foot

[@aussiemuso4765]

Thanks for putting this on youtube Akira as I wanted to be there but had family commitments. Just loved watching the pros jam. Always wanted to learn 'Deed I do' and Richard Smith showed the terrific chords in my singing key. Awesome!

[@MCOult]

Thank you so much for posting these videos, Akira. And congratulations on attending and interacting with these wonderful musicians! -- Old matt

[@luigitarallo2690]

It's one of my favourite videos. Two fantastic players learning from each other.

[@redrock1963]

TE is so quick to hand over, to share his guitar - just astonishing. TE stands out as the humble best of the two.

[@livb6945]

The guitar belonged to another guy though

[@KerinCrowe]

The guitar belonged to the Cameraman Akira and you heard Tommy politely ask if it was OK for Richard to use it @@livb6945

[@DjNikGnashers]

Awesome video, thank you for posting up.

[@Alrukitaf]

There it is. There it was, and there it always shall be! Beautiful stuff.

[@alfredrichter6236]

That‘s what I would call jamming. Just great. Could listen to it for hours and hours.

It's so fantastic you captured this. And you shared it, thank you!

[@stephenchubb7376]

That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing...

[@yoebutt]

I've been around a long time and I think Tommy -IS THE BEST EVER!!!

[@demef758]

When, oh when, will these two genuine Guitar Monsters collaborate on a joint album? I can't begin to imagine the mind-blowing arrangements they would come up with!

[@akira808cjp]

Totally agree. That would be so awesome!

[@davidhughes7174]

So cool. Two wonderful guitarists jamming the blues

[@jeteye97]

Two of the best, I got to see both of them last year. What a treat!

[@toama376]

The man himself..Mr Tommy Emmanuel👈🏾👆🏾🤙🏾

[@charlespeterson3798]

Wish there were more of these videos, two masters working out a tune, giving and taking, no ego bull. This, in my experience, is rare, the majority of musicians are esurient, stingy and selfish. Great video.

[@leonlitinsky2108]

Bravo!

gorgeous gentlemen !!!

Saw Tommy a week ago, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what 2 man should do in their free time

I'm just confused as to how there are people around just chatting to each other while this is happening.

Imho it actually adds to this fabulous hour with these guys and gives a more intimate experience. A cool experience for Akira.

Richard Smith should play more on these steel strings guitars like here, where they switched guitars with Tommy.

That last lick on one mint julep is just too goddamn slick. I just can't get my fill of it!
