Just wanted to share these videos with you all so we can enjoy and steal a lot of great ideas from these amazing players!! I’d never held a mobile phone in front of my chest for an hour! Every time I thought I would stop the camera at the end of a song, they started a new one so I just kept recording! The dimensions the four guitars were creating was so beautiful.
Thnk you so much for posting this ..all music no ego"s ..it shows that Tommy is indeed out there in the world to meet great musicians and guitarists with whom he can make such wonderfull music.
Thanks so much for recording and uploading these! However, I won't be stealing any ideas from them... I would need to practice at least 25 hours per day for years to get anywhere near good enough to start stealing ideas from them! 😁
Richard is a machine. He can recall anything he’s ever played at a moment’s notice. And if he’s never played it, just let him listen to it for a moment and he will play it perfectly instantaneously. So incredibly gifted. PTL #GuitarHeroes
A whole room of people,nobody paying attention,they are just playing for each other ,amazing, feel sorry for the room,they do not know what they are missing,I sit here watching in awe,wishing I could pick this good!😀
There is a difference in those who have a passion for music and those who just like to listen to it. The ones who listen and then go off and do their thing dont have the love and passion. Those who are glued to this talent are the ones who love music with a passion and enough to want to learn an instrument themselves
It makes me feel a little better seeing that people not only talk and socialize when my band plays but they do it when some of the best acoustic players in the world are playing this amazing jam, go figure lol.
One of the reasons so few people achieve greatness in their lifetimes is because they are oblivious to it even when they are in its presence. How can you possibly be cackling in the background when there is so much greatness assembled in one spot for such a short period time?!
richard is the only guitarist I've see on youtube that transfixes tommy. just amazing ability that took so long and to make look like your just warming up is just insane!
I've been sing'n an pick'n since age 6. I'm 47 yrs old now. Actually a distant relative of the Osbourne Bros. tht Richard commented on. Was born and raised in the hills of East Tennessee in the same small town tht Jimmy Martin is from. I've been blessed to work wth a lot of successful, notable acts throughout the 1990's when I was signed wth an Indy label in Nashville so I know a lil sumpin ' bout the Git-fiddle and U CATS R DA CHIT!!!!! Absolutely unbelievable!! Thank u so much for sharing
These two have been playing together for years. We all know about Tommy, but Richard Smith is off the charts. Funny how most people just don't get it. Hence the background noise. Lol
Never heard of him before this video but goddamn he sets them frets on fire. That joe pass/django reinhardt style ascending chord style lick in the second jam was mind melting
I first thought Tommy Emmanuel was Brian Setzer... Perhaps because of the Atkins and Les Paul feel in his playing. I have to confess I didn't know these amazing artists; I am glad I now do. Thanks for the videos, Akira.
Wow, I sure enjoyed watching this. Thanks for posting it. I'm a big fan of Tommy E, and I'm glad I was able to see & hear some other great guitar players together with him. Richard Smith really stands out here. The third guitar player is really good too, I just don't know his name. Great video!
WHAT'S REALLY SO AWESOME ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS THE CAPTURE OF THE GENUINE LOVE AND PASSION THESE GREAT MUSICIANS HAVE FOR THERE SHARED GIFT AND COMPETENCE IN BRINGING INTO EXISTENCE......REAL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taking acid and watching this is a blast, but it's been a while since I've blinked though, can't take my eyes off theese guys for a blink of an eye :-o
Who in the f#*- is having a conversation and not focusing 100% of their attention on your guy’s performance? That’s the question here! Beautiful playing gentleman...as ALWAYS..
ah, good old human nature's need to always remind ourselves that there's an us and them. it really does seem to come out of us naturally without us realizing it. we are truly flawed creatures in this regard and destined to repeat this vicious cycle.
I think you're reading a bit too far into it. I'm sure laymen, like myself, can appreciate the moment and can empathize with the players here, but I imagine David just meant to say that as a guitarist himself, he can relate to the fun atmosphere and maybe has insight others may not. I didn't read it as being exclusive
You are SO damned right! ;) Non-guitar pickers might say that they understand- but they only THINK they do. A jam like this is utterly true love, joy, fun and all other good things, and you and your jam-mate(s) just loose contact with world around you disappearing into the music, the mood, and each others minds.
Couldn't agree more some of my happiest memories are when I'd jam with my best friend and his dad at their house we'd just lose ourselves in the absolute joy of it
Yeah I picked it too!! I reckon it sounds better acoustically with these guys playing than it sounds on electric guitars, and I've been a Ventures fan from their beginning - shows how old I am!! But I've seen Tommy Emmanuel several times on stage (and he's played my 48 year old Maton 12-string and thought it was wonderful!) and he is the consummate gentleman and musician!! There aren't enough good things you could say about this guy!!
yeah at that point any amount of alcohol is making us deaf to the mastery coming forth :) liquor only makes us enjoy shitty performances as we overlook the mistakes and the tone etc ;P @@sportcompactdc5
Interpretation of other people's music is one thing [great though the interpretation is here]. What Australia needs [and deserves] is a modern day jazz classic written/co-written by Tommy Emmanuel and/or Richard Smith. The only person capable of writing the words is Barry Humphries - get on to Bazza before it's too late. What beautiful talent Australia has - go Tommy/Richard/Barry. I'm English and love you all.
I saw John Fahey and Peter Lang jam many years ago. It was awesome as well. At least Tommy and Richard play in standard tuning. With Fahey it was hard to pick out what he was doing because of some of the exotic tunings he used.
The best air guitar playing I have ever seen....in the next room - mic-ed up and pumped into this room via the audio equipment you see in the back ground - were the real guitarists Al De Meola and Paco De Lucia . They did this as a spoof to see if people were attracted to their playing or their big name star power. As you can hear by the crowd noise and lack of applause after the virtuoso performances....,,people like star power but have no idea what great music actually is. I bet those people feel like fools after over 100,000 real people enjoyed this concert by masters of their art and craft.
Two Aussies (Tommy & Michael) and a Brit (Richard). Common denominator is the way they're playing these songs is directly from their mentor... Mr. Guitar himself -- Chet.
ONCE IN A LIFE TIME GREATNESS IN THE ROOM AND THE PEOPLE CACKLING IN THE BACKGROUND TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!.......MY HEAD HURTS....KINDA LIKE EATING DECADENT ICE CREAM WAY TO FAST!!!!!!!!!!.....;- }
And it's easily understandable your claim: the best jam I've ever witnessed. Who could possibly disagree? This could have been the best for everyone on this planet! Ha! Ha!

Thank God your battery didn't go flat !
Thank you for posting this amazing series of videos of the best jam session ever.

Well done for posting these videos and for keeping the camera rolling... you captured a piece of pure artistry, beautifully x

You know you’re good when you see these two jamming and you grab a chair and join in
Tommy is a great guitarist but he is a great entertainer as well and likes people . We are blessed to have such a guy .
Agree on ALL counts. Saw him live in South Florida before coronavirus shut everything down. Very gracious person who conveys a lot of joy.
Richard Smith is the most well rounded musically polished guitarist full stop, seems no style he can't play ⏯️
Wow! For once a TH-cam title that exactly describes the video! The best jam I've ever witnessed.
it's about what the person who posted the video, not you
@@bobaIina No shit Sherlock. He was making a reference to "clickbait" video titles.
@@coryCuc yeah no shit i already knew that
@@joshcampbell1516 ok, man.
I could sit there and watch these guys play all day!!

Satoyoshi for preserving this for posterity.

Akira, you did an amazing job on both recording it and then share it, thank you a million times!
One of the reasons so few people achieve greatness in their lifetimes is because they are oblivious to it even when they are in its presence. How can you possibly be cackling in the background when there is so much greatness assembled in one spot for such a short period time?!
Ditto and ditto and another one.
The best jam that Ive ever witnessed. Three times now, because I watched these 6 videos back to back to back! These guys are some "Smooth cats".
Up to around my 10th visit now : )
richard is the only guitarist I've see on youtube that transfixes tommy. just amazing ability that took so long and to make look like your just warming up is just insane!
Them boys are jamming amazing guitar players
while the audience is chatting .......who are those country bumpkins ?
Yes, we did enjoy immensely.
This is amazing! This is out of this world! Just brilliant
Love the rendition of Sweet Georgia Brown!!!
I love how they were looking at each others guitar more than they were looking at their own. They definitely know their shit very well.
This is wonderful. Thanks a million for sharing these moments.
Thank you for sharing these legendary jams dude!
Glad you like it! Thanks mate!!
@@akira808cjp dude, anyone who doesn't, has deeper issues than music can fix
Mastery of the fretboard
I watch Tommy and Richard play solo, and play with other people. but there is something truly magical that happens when they play together.
Beautiful.
you are the man for posting this. thank you!
never get tired of listening to these guys
Great players having fun. I'm just in awe!
This is pure class

High quality conversation in music. These guys must have been so happy to find each other.
Imagine !! It's just for fun !!! Absolutly wonderfull
Something that really amazes me about Tommy - he is as humble a human being as he is a great guitar player; a truly rare combination.
These two have been playing together for years. We all know about Tommy, but Richard Smith is off the charts. Funny how most people just don't get it. Hence the background noise. Lol

More like best jam that there will ever be
i guess once you get to their level the walk down is irresistible
WHO could be TALKING while this is happening? CLUELESS!
Tienes toda la razón. No concibo que haya alguien que no le preste atención a ésta maravilla. No saben apreciar lo bueno.
Mother Nature must love nitwits since she made so many of them.
as the poster said, this was an impromptu session, most of the people in the background didn't even realise the guys were playing!
Most probably their wives. :)
LOL!!!!!! I thought the same thing! As we can hear, it's mostly women, LOL!!!!! Love these guys!
That is so brilliant and spontaneous! The best, those two guys, unbelievable!
These guitars are having the talk of their life
This is so wonderful 😀😊

Ok guys i an in canada seen the world as a musician won awards etc trust me u guys are good Bravo
If you're not a guitar picker, you don't understand how much fun they're having.

I would not be talking, but listing in amazement.
Doesnt get better than this.
I saw Tommi live, and wow he is on another level.
God I just love that “Lullaby of Birdland” quote at 5:15
Wouldn’t it be cool to jam like that and still be able to smile????
I’d take my first breath when the last chord was played 😳
Fascinating!
I could help sweep the floor.....
You will have to fight for the broom ! Unbelievable the talent there .
I love it...
I'd give it two thumbs up if I could. Masters at play ...
they starts with the VENTURES'hit from the sixties "WALK DON'T RUN .....The best invitation to witness all the way through !
those fellows are the top echelon in guitar playing .
Yep. The absolute ultimate.
Shout out to TH-cam for showing this to me
Tommy ultimate teacher, and does an excellent job
You think Tommy's teaching Richard Smith?!?!
Do you know who Richard Smith IS?!?! 🤔
100%@@jamespasifull
First tune is called 'Walk Don't Run' originally done by the Ventures and one of the first guitar tunes I learned more than 50 years ago.
Well, originally done (and written by) jazz guitarist Johnny Smith. But the Ventures had the hit record.
How did you like this rendition?
Yeah I picked it too!! I reckon it sounds better acoustically with these guys playing than it sounds on electric guitars, and I've been a Ventures fan from their beginning - shows how old I am!! But I've seen Tommy Emmanuel several times on stage (and he's played my 48 year old Maton 12-string and thought it was wonderful!) and he is the consummate gentleman and musician!! There aren't enough good things you could say about this guy!!
AND this whole series, Akira, is WONDERFUL!!
oh to be in that room. they are all invited to my house for every campfire we do. they don't even need to bring beer.
Who needs beer with guitar skills like that anyways? I guess you could say it would be BYOG then? (bring your own guitar) lol
yeah at that point any amount of alcohol is making us deaf to the mastery coming forth :) liquor only makes us enjoy shitty performances as we overlook the mistakes and the tone etc ;P @@sportcompactdc5
Joesdf Joesdfg exactly.
Imagine a random person who didn't know these guitarist walked in. I'll be like; "you guys are awesome. Should be performing on stage somewhere".
As a long-time Django fan, I have to admit humans may finally have caught up with him.
standing on the shoulders of giants and all, building on, venturing out, adding to the mosaic
WOW, awesome!!!
Interpretation of other people's music is one thing [great though the interpretation is here]. What Australia needs [and deserves] is a modern day jazz classic written/co-written by Tommy Emmanuel and/or Richard Smith. The only person capable of writing the words is Barry Humphries - get on to Bazza before it's too late. What beautiful talent Australia has - go Tommy/Richard/Barry. I'm English and love you all.
Fucking Fantastic!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this. :D
Big shout out to Tommy's incredible shirt here also
7:25 Richard throws in a bit of Jerry's breakdown. Brilliant.
I saw John Fahey and Peter Lang jam many years ago. It was awesome as well. At least Tommy and Richard play in standard tuning. With Fahey it was hard to pick out what he was doing because of some of the exotic tunings he used.
Oh my .. Fahey is incredible
Masters!!
The people who are talking are nerds, these guys are just brilliant. Don't forget they are making it up as they go along.
Well it’s a for sure thing my brain is fried beyond repair...
I cannot stop picturing Ren & Stimpy boogying down to this session.....
The best air guitar playing I have ever seen....in the next room - mic-ed up and pumped into this room via the audio equipment you see in the back ground - were the real guitarists Al De Meola and Paco De Lucia . They did this as a spoof to see if people were attracted to their playing or their big name star power.

Ur just jealous because you’ll never be able to play like that
Well, you guys don't know how good you are :)
I am such a fan of Stuie French & Camille
No competing here just complimenting......straight out of Earl Scruggs and Lester Flats Playbook....with a touch of Atkins and Knopfler
So cool the look on the guys face in the middle at 8 25
second mark but it's because of the lick played by the guy starting here at 8:23
To paraphrase Frank Zappa - the average person prefers entertainment to music.
And this is both. And so was Zappa on stage.
I feel like saying" I'll never touch my guitars again". I would say that not many people in the world have this level of talent
Can't believe there are people talking and laughing instead of listening.
Oh well. There's never been a shortage of nitwits.
Not a performance at first, just some light jamming.
Обалденно!!!
Unless those people that were talking were trying to negotiate world peace I think I would have told them all to shut up

Pretty nice 12 bars blues sound mixed with that spongebob-esque second jam
When the saints go marching in, I want to be in that number
Richi - THE BEST!!!!
The Ventures....Walk, Don’t Run.....
Dang!
I played my best air guitar during this session!
Q
Films gratuits suspense
Badoo
Does anybody know the name of the first song they play?
Thanks!
I'd like to know as well!
Oh nvm I saw in the comments, Walk don't run by The Ventures!
And it's easily understandable your claim: the best jam I've ever witnessed. Who could possibly disagree? This could have been the best for everyone on this planet! Ha! Ha!
Only six parts? Needs sixty more.
Old guys rule!!
Thanks to Mr. Satoyoshi.
I’m already walking.
Does anyone know the song in the beginning? Would really appreciate it if someone told me.
NckHD “Walk Don’t Run” by The Ventures
@@tb88202 Thanks a lot.
