[ThePunkAndRock]

[98Mareli]

[tenacious645]

I'd like to see more of Phil Emmanuel

[Buchoass]

Whoe! It's finished but it keeps playing in my head. Goodnight  lol

[bigphil088]

7 people got kicked by tommy's mighty left foot.

[kifliter1]

Who cares how thier brains are wired ? - the resulting "short circuit" is an almost

unbelievable showcase of thier prodigious talents !!! - F1, eat yer heart out !!!

[jmr1068204]

:52...Tommy thinks, "Hmm...that sounds a little low. *stops to turn up his brother's volume* Okay, back to where I was, but 5 seconds ahead..."

[bigphil088]

@jmr1068204 *double head bob*

[Chochili7]

I hope they're national icons. Shit.! that's coming from a kiwi. Tell you what, we'll take these two you fellas can keep Russell Crowe

[germanvigilante]

7 people never held a guitar in their hands. ^^

[martingoldfire]

Next day, after seeing it 20 times, HOW?

[martingoldfire]

HOW?

[YourPainkillerSxx]

Yayyy!!!!! Go Guys!!!

[MyMoppet52]

Wonderful!

[BoilerRoom4]

I bought Phil's CD "Kakadu Sunrise" back in the mid nineties, which has this song (track 12). Also from the same album, Track 1, Take Off, was used in a TV commercial (featuring Phil) for a musical instrument shop in Toowoomba.

[DennChooch]

if you like this i guess Thin Lizzy is worth checking out, which you probably have. they have lots of celtic medleys in their music too. LOVING IT.

[4001XBASS]

This is one of the greatest vids one yotube. What great players playing great songs, and havin fun doing it. Pure joy to see and hear these guys.

[bonglehaddock]

As if one wasn't frightening enough!!

[s22ad]

@bonglehaddock you think 2 is bad? they have a sister called virginia and another brother called Chris. Chris plays drums & Virginia sings and plays other instruments, they're all very very talented

[bonglehaddock]

@s22ad Thanks for the info. I'll watch out for them.

[gacochrane]

I saw them do this live in Houston this past weekend. I am still speechless several days later, just amazing. And the best part; they hung out and mingled after the show. Nicest guys you'd ever meet!

[darcyfrod]

@gacochrane bit of Aussie hospitality

[theoriginalbillholt]

Phil is like a mad scientist's cross between Eddie Van Halen, Mick Jagger and a Muppet. Am I wrong? It's just funny, I think. Fantabulous players. ; )

[theoriginalbillholt]

I just missed them in Albany, NY on May 7th. Poop. Big, stinky poop.

[harknesspeter]

these just keep on getting better. Amazing.

[NickAtNet1]

It's like they're getting paid by the note!

[robby585]

amazingg



[sickb2200]

I'm seeing them in Tulsa next Saturday!!!

[r2160]

I feel very fortunate to be alive at a time when these guys are playing

[mabbettmusic123]

and i can't remember the third ones name

[mabbettmusic123]

the first one is called the gay gordons don't know why

[mattlaw92]

love this! it's fantastic (:

[Yetagainmonkeyman]

Seven people only know four chords.

[Siggelump]

Insanity!

[colotron]

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Phil playing Tommy's busted up trusty old Maton?

[MrAxSAP]

@colotron Does Tommys have a cutaway?

[colotron]

@MrAxSAP Yup :D

[gluebum13]

I just saw these two play this duet last week, 10 years since this clip was made.

I disagree that Phil is the superior lead player after having seen them twice playing together. For me, Tommy plays with the most clarity, articulation and character of any guitarist I've seen...his playing cuts through much more to my ears. Phil isn't superior in the skill stakes either, but Phil is a superb musician in his own right, and they play with great synchroicity as you 'd expect after 50 years.

[BlackGhostBnD]

I just think all the times I see tommy/phil emmanuel, OH.. MY... GOD... I can't dodge it

[Desthechef]

Somebody call the doctor. For me as well, please :)

[MaxBGuitar]

Who is Phil? Is this his son? I'm sorry... Just know Tommy. :/

[GeorgeKaplanNByNW]

@MaxBGuitar They are brothers :)

[madhajin]

i'm scottish and this is amazing

[networkbidder]

We all know TE is absolutely amazing but, PHIL has to be seen to be believed - he's Incredible, and his daughter Jessie has an amazingly strong voice for her tender age of just 21.

Come back to Perth soon Guys, please !

[networkbidder]

We all know TE is absolutely amazing but Phil has to be seen to be believed !!!

I wish they would tour more in Au , especially WA.

[atrickpay11]

these guys are good...they started really young and put in a ton of hours in guitar...music was their life basically.

[OlaviKiljo]

Phil is simply too good.

[54Sunset]

I hear it, the note should have been minor at 0.44

[54Sunset]

I hear it, the note should have been minor....

[dsjoakim35]

Im watching this over and over, and I cant for the life of me hear the misstake that Phil makes at 0.44. And yet, Tommy reacts to it instantly and Phil grimaces. So I know it is there. Well, I guess my carrer as a critic will remain a dream.

[R20set]

@dsjoakim35 Phil doesnt make a mistake there, but Tommy does, he's starting the next riff a bit early.

[wickeddigital]

Guys, I have to agree, Jesse's best song was here last...and yes just the to brothers on acoustic is still the best way to see them!

[wickeddigital]

Just returned from the first Sydney show, and apart from the sound, it was fab! The guys are on fire!

[dsjoakim35]

@wickeddigital Also just got back from Lyric Theatre. The Stalls, row P, seat 56. :) Phills Nessun Dorma was great. But the best part are still the two brothers with two acustic guitarrs. Gona see Tommy in Sweden in the spring next.

[wickeddigital]

Well, almost time to leave for the show...I will be the guy in the fourth row!

[michaeljjeffrey]

@wickeddigital I'll be there thursday night too, ha ha.

[wickeddigital]

Amazing! Can not wait for Thursday nights gig at the Lyric Theatre here in Sydney!

[MoviesAndMusic69]

@wickeddigital I am going to the Friday night one! Tell me how the Thursday night gig is!

[dsjoakim35]

@wickeddigital yepp, going tonight, if they will let me in in my backpacker outfit :) If you see someone on the sidewalk crying it will prob be me.

[GPKStonedShawn]

Better than rodrigo y gabriela.

[piterblues]

1:52 !!!!!!!!! :))))

[fretboardmaster1]

cant wait to see them play this at their 50th anniversary tour

[TheReilly8]

tryd to et the tab for this then realized no point im lying to myself if i said i couldplay this sort of shit

[FerrariDude24]

Let's see Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates do THAT!  lol

[GirolamoPeraXD]

What an incredible performance!!!

God save Tommy and Phill!!!!!

[goldensleeves]

The doorbell rings at 3:10

[jamezhalim]

lol the part i like is from 0:00 - 4:30!

[Valdinijo]

1:49 is so funny!!

[daffydoug]

I would think the ones who marked don't like on this are probably extremely jealous.

[nebula1919191]

I think phil checks his arm pit odour at 0:05, priceless.

[afojgel]

@nebula1919191 jajajajajahjajaja



[unclespam20]

It's amazing what people will give a thumbs down.

[decembercalling]

GODS! Im telling you, theyre not human.. Theyre Gods....

[Dust148]

I wonder whether Phil is a full or half brother to Tommy -- he has a bit of that aboriginal look. Both wonderful players!

[TheReilly8]

even iron maiden cant handle this harmonisation

[securetag]

I have four tickets in the fourth row left of center...that means I can see his fingers...The 27th of this month in St Petersburg, Fl at the Paladium

[pngaia]

Deadly Brothers,best there ever was, will be.

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

the funny thing is is that phil emmanuel was actually better than tommy but tommy just put in all the hard work, phil was just lazy

[NoosesGive]

@TheDudeFrom0Z i think phil is still better than tommy, it's just phil seems like a shyer guy...

i saw him live and he blew my mind away, i've also seen tommy too and no doubt fantastic,, but phil plays it mean!

[linville07]

@TheDudeFrom0Z No I dont think Phil was lazy but he did like a bit too much of the Scottish liquid otherwise he would have been as famous as his brother. Phil was probably a better electric player whereas Tommy always preferred acoustic

[daclarob]

right thats it!!

the guitar is now a coffee table LOL

awesome talent

[ozdobby]

imagine playing that with rusty strings haha, you wouldn't have fingers anymore

[securetag]

Let's see?......three months.....watching this video EVERY Fri night....eight to ten times....? This is not a problem it is an obcession Let's see?......three months.....watching this video EVERY Fri night....eight to ten times....? This is not a problem it is an obsession it is just pure love a finger pickin fool

[thefru]

i think that's a problem sir...

[harrydeserts]

too amazing to believe

[TAZBO264]

GREAT MEDLEY

[johnnyherrengo]

UN fuckin' BELEIVABLE

[DBoVolente]

awesome^^

[skydogz1]

Way cool ! ! !

[coupe8509]

nn ho parole x descrivere la bravura di questi 2....

[29mircea]

beautiful, terribly nice

[charliep3]

wow

[SkeldeCom]

this is just superb

[Idontsing]

I am yet to find two guitarists as entertaining as Phil and Tommy when they play together. Love it !

[1189wanado]

I bet dad's proud of them two....

[kent879]

whats the name of this song?

[MegaDutchdude]

this song is named "irish & scottish medley"...

[xcaper66]

the first tune is called ....cock of the north....dixie is in there too ...dont know the rest

[seanlateralus]

your fucking good phil! Seen last night @ ruby's lounge Belgrave

[SuperDuperDinoAidz]

dang!

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

How'd you like to spend Christmas at their house. Bet there is a really good time had by all.

[TheGennen]

@stevesprinceofsteaks Oh, there is. =D

[jaybee1952]

OMG if I had 1 ounce of their talent I would think I was good they are the best

John Bethell New Zealand

[jimincairns]

I'm pretty sure that's Tommy's Maton that Phil is playing..battered to buggery!

[Neverdii]

I wish my brother had enough brains to pick up the guitar

in another lifetime maybe...but life's good listening to Phil and Tommy

[TheMasterAchim]

ooo I love that one!

And to some of the smart swaggers below:

Phil is also talented, the same like Tommy!

Maybe he just didn't put the same effort in it.

[codycode]

Yeah Tommy's okay... he's a little slow though... :p ROFLMAO... just yeah.... effing amazing!

[kystephmiller]

well obviously Phil is NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS Tommy...jeeze what a clown...oh wait....never mind he is unbelievably good too....wow, wow wow wow to people blessed with the same talent...*hi five*

[FireRagnarok]

I have just seen God and his brother. ^_^

[MrGuitaRKing]

Tommy is the real Guitar King!! After a few more years of lessons, I hope to be half as good as him!! Check out my videos!

[bergali]

I think Tommy has made it pretty clear he's among the top guitarists ever to pick up an axe. He doesn't need to play lead every time (Not saying Phil does, just pointing out the greatness of Ole TE). I thoroughly enjoy listening to Tommy play rhythm as much as I love his Guitar Boogie/Stevie's Blues vid, wherein he schools me and everyone else on what a guitarist has to strive for. All in all, he does it because he can. So says someone who may be full of it.

[megalomando]

Really fun to watch them interact.

[illuminoacey]

As soon as Phil leans in at 0.29 you know your in for a good ride, God bless the wonder stick.

[aceyeah]

how come when they play together tommy's rythem and his bro. lead, but when tommy plays with other people he's lead

[whenimnotaround]

@aceyeah my guess would be that they used to play so when they were small, and things like that hang on forever.. it's like special positions at the dinnertable (:

[Mablungx]

Wow I take Tommy Emmanuel as a totally classic one and the best of the best,but his brother is also more than good,what a technique! This is indeed a difficult piece to play

[dejanbajin]

Dva brata ludaka,sta reci

[Phantomicity]

About to see Phil for the first time. Now I know what to expect, heh - this is awesome.

[volvo650daniel]

Very nice video ;) the second song sounds like "Happy Henrik's Polka" ;) very nice played!

[jordanblythe104]

i just got back 2 hours ago from a phil emmanuel concert and he acctualy shook my hand and sighned my guitar it was awesome best night ever

[Fralle89]

Wow! I have never seen two guitar players that tight! Just amasing!

[Majaffa]

such a great job its got to be, travelling the world with your brother, having fun and musical conversation in front of an audience and getting money for doing it!

cant be nothing but extremely jealous and happy for those two :D

[synesthesia67]

thats ....cool....

[ForForm]

i just love the part with those high slides :P it sounds so funny and they play it while having so much fun! it's awesome

[luckybastard1987]

The first song sounds like "Paddle yer Own Canoe"

Not too sure on the rest. Great guitar players though =)

[jkfozl]

what was in there guitars, it looked like something was covering up the bowl or whatever the name for that part of the guitar is, but that hole was covered up...right

[Bowlch]

It blocks feedback on acoutic guitars :-) So only sound is from the pickups inside the guitar and not the microphone.

More information on the guitars on the Maton site!

[nowomennoblabla]

yes this is called sound hole cover .this thing make feedback disappear! The patented sound louvers allow air to flow to and from the inside of the guitar and lets the top vibrate naturally without dampening the tone and sustain characteristics. The aluminum tone ring in nonmagnetic so it does not interfere with magnetic pickups or the natural vibrations of the strings

wady!

[ELONut]

thats finger pickin GOOD!!

[floridajeet]

this is the song from Titanic the Movie... where the low lifes from QAustrailia sing and dance

[william1theguitarwah]

sounds like an old video game!

[SUNNYD3322]

Very nice!

[clrammer]

Here are my favorite moments:

0:47 - Tommy jumps to rhythm too early. Phil laughs and says, "Too early." Tommy laughs it off.

1:12 - Phil leans in to make sure Tommy doesn't go back to rhythm too early again lol.

2:09 - Tommy jumps to rhythm early. Phil gives a look ("dude..."), Tommy nods ("oh yeah").

3:48 - Phil leans in to say "One more. Tommy replies "Quiet one."

Mere mortals aren't supposed to be able to play like that (especially IN UNISON!) much less interact like it's no big deal!

[BRANSCOMBEx]

haha :) Good break down!

check out my acousitcs please.

[Tamaramajamma]

ha... well the boys have been pickin since they were 4 & 5 so the interaction is pretty well honed by now. they were playing like this together when i played with them in the early 80s.

if anything phil's a bit less pushy with time these days. great stuff!

[joueajoue]

according to your profile you werent even born in the early 80's!!

[Tamaramajamma]

ha! yeah i'm 25!! i didn't know i'd lied. you believe anyones age on the web? guess i was feeling insecure when i set up my account! i was born sept 1953. so im 55 for another month!! i'm about 3yrs older than tom and the wiz must be about my age.

[Incisionator]

I had not even noticed all those 'errors'. Maybe because this is the only version I know..

[docjodoc3]

@clrammer : You don't quite have it right. TE does not jump into rhythm early. At 0:44-0:45 Phil makes a mistake, he grimaces, T. looks over; 0:46, Phil says "sorry", Tommy laughs it off. Shows they're happy to be playing together and love music. 0:58, T. reaches over, tweaks the volume up for Phil. Brothers. Cool. 1:12 Phil leans in, nothing more than two musicians playing off each other. 2:09 Phil, Tommy agree the next change begins end of bar at around 2:14. At 3:48, yup, one more, quietly.

[R20set]

@docjodoc3 He does jump into ryth early, and in 1:12 Phil sees that T remembers to do the riff.

[Kitchenfreak81]

Oh... my... god...

[austrolapithicas]

RE-FRIGGIN-DONKULOUS!!!!!!!

[loovra123]

wow!! that would kill you if u were to dance along. . . all i know is jigs and or reels... cock o the north might be right... impressive!!

[tomanderson92]

tomanderson92 After seeing this video all I can do is use the quote from Jerry Reed "Sonnnnnnnn"!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crate91]

das ist total geil

[chunkyftw]

There's no god..and if so..these men should be nothing less then 'him'. It's awesome.!

[newfiebygarge]

Aw  Boys quit showin off!!!! LOL!!!

[skyflaky]

honest to god... you two brothers are d'best

[indiefender]

Wow.. You can realy see that there is a realy strong link between them, what can i say, brothers )

[xxecilaxx]

First tune is cock o' the north and not sure about the rest!

[rorc86]

MINCHIA!!

[coeji]

certainly you can see theyre brothers

[Neverdii]

possibly the best guitar duo ever? just might be...the emmanuel brothers have blown me away

[Creationstepper2007]

OH MY GOD I hear a note which was not so clean as the other 12 million notes in this medley... No just a joke these two are amazing and a gift from... I don´t know even god can´t have such a power to create this kind of legend ;) - please notice that this is some kind of ironic... sorry for my english, is not my mother language...

[cherubenjezza]

Camera's a little wonky around 2:42.

Excellent musicians, the both of them!

[bluegrassdevil]

it's crazy:D

[zastymorter]
