Ok. So if I can sort of strum basically half a song then you have no right to say that TE is any better than me? How absurd.
Its usually possible to tell who is better though not always so clear cut, as the styles are different.
I think TE is probably less trad in style than RS. Too hard to really say who is better as their pretty much even in both respective fields. SV is good at what he does but certainly not in the same league as GG. (or TE or RS either)
Thats Tommy Emmanuel on the drums. Agree with ubernaffa. I think it is pretty clear that with different ages,styles and different influences on them that as guitarists it can be said with certainty Lady Bird Johnson was better than Socrates(At least for fast runs) I think most of us will agree that Bugs Bunny had the potential to be a virtuoso guitarist in the classical sense if it wasn't for the fact that he' just a cartoon character.

Thank you for conceeding that I am right. Not many people are big enough to do that.
Once players achieve a certain level it becomes a little pointless to judge who is better. I think TE and RS are 2 such players.

i think the difference is, that tommy is more extrovertedly. He plays with more energy in his movements, but to judge who is better is pointless.

I've clearly won this arguement.

So by that logic a bum who has played for 1 hour is not better than someone like Richard Smith? Ridiculous statement I think you'll agree.
Rethink your statement.

Is that really tommy on the drums? I love this track. Chet really was amazing - his music takes you to another world.
