Phil Emmanuel Duelling Banjos and TV themes.

[TCFBbob]

and I thought Jason Becker playing the Woody Woodpecker theme was extraordinary. . . mind = blown

[zomgchocobo]

I just realized that I think Joe Robinson was the one recording this, just listen to the voice, it makes so much sense

[RORYzRIGHT]

Could ya emagine some people have never heard of these two! Living legends! I went to the biggest guitar store in my area "GUITAR CENTER" Very nice place.And asked if they and any Tommy Emmanuel videos or anything at all. They said Tommy Who? They never heard of him. None of them! I wanted the Saint Louis show in 2000 I think it was.And the guys there called them selfs guitar players.B-) I am a BASS Player. I can play guitar good enough to realize just how great these brothers are.

[alexyousef]

damn this guy is underrated

[RORYzRIGHT]

@alexyousef And that my friend is an Understatement! No no im only serious!And they are so humble. What great people I love Austrailia

[connortimoti]

dam looks sped up, sick!!!!!!

[NoosesGive]

i remember hearing a quote that made sense with these two brothers.....

tommy plays it sweet,

phil plays it from the street...

they are just different.

[AndyBoy63]

I wanted to hear 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo' ; )

[iqeman23]

I have this guitar.

[debbieswinyer]

Wish I could play like that!

[songpoemguy]

dude this video rocks you play real well 5 *****& shared

[Rikkyhardo]

@songpoemguy this is well cool ... looked at the other vids of this guy and his brother. thanks for lettng me know about them

[AndyBoy63]

@Rikkyhardo

How much cocaine or crystal meth does it take to play that fast?

[Rikkyhardo]

@AndyBoy63 I think it is more to do with non rhumatic fingers lol

[RORYzRIGHT]

@AndyBoy63 You have got to be kidding.

[Hutcho69]

To all those who think Tommy is better than Phil and vice versa...they are just different. Tommy is probably a more polished performer, but together there isn't a struck match between them. BRILLIANT !!!

[TheSmokingGuitar]

thats alot of arm hair

[HEREclickPlease]

@ EmCaf - that's an interesting guitar ! A strat headstock on an acoustic body = awesome ! Great upload as well

5 / 5

[daw162]

Back then, there were a bunch of lower cost acoustics available with electric style headstocks. Fender made them in bunches. I'm sure there were good ones, too - I doubt phil is playing crap. One of my bandmates had one of the cheaper fender versions - it was kind of hard to get along with, but that, of course, had nothing to do with the shape of the peghead.

Lots interesting combinations from the 1980s have gone by the wayside for more traditional looking guitars.

[FireRagnarok]

Tommy is better, I think, but Phil kicks my untrained ass any day of the week. Of course, that's no problem since I play bass. xD

[Mfpvehicles]

i reckon phils the better one of the 2, 1) his been playing longer and 2) when the 2 brothers play together tommy is doin the rhythm while phil is doing the technical solos...

[carlitox0794]

yeh tommy is better

[drizella]

tommy is better looking but Phil has always been the better guitarist

[accidentalseabird]

No, tommy is far better than Phil. Phil is pretty mad but no way near as good, or versatile, as Tommy.

[GabeFed]

idk i think tommys better

[musicmart]

Hawaii 5-O starring Jack Lord

[musodata]

Great memories. I used to play with Phil a bit when he played with Bill Ryan and Steve Sampson

[todthebod]

Tell me that doesn't sound like Keith Urban in the background. I know Tommy was a big influence. Maybe Phil was giving him some lessons. I know to us Yanks Aussies all sound the same but I'm just saying.

[nickman022]

man it does sound like keith urban

[Lukeyboi14]

wats the song at 1.00? sounds hell familiar

[J0sA1Ac]

adam's family theme.

[DerBassMann5]

Does anybody know, what the name of song is, he plays at the end?? This is important! Thank you!

By the way: Nice playing. I didn't know him / them.

[ozdobby]

Hawaii 5-o

top song

[nickbaldeagle01]

Hawaii 5 - 0

[captaintanuki]

Thanks for posting these Phil vids. Takes me back to seeing The Emmanuel Bros and Goldrush at Paddo Green back in the day. Magic !

[lensdarkly]

The people you meet on Youtube :}

I once walked from Smiggins to Perisher through the snow to see Tommy & Phil and Goldrush play. Hey that was nothing, one of my friends that night did it on crutches, with a broken leg, and walked back again 5 miles. It was worth it.

[Astro29]

"aww shit!" LOL

[3e3op88]

My God. I had no idea Tommy had a brother. He's great, too! Thanks for the vid.

[joeanguspage]

should see him play electric!!

[westone86]

does he have perfect pitch or did he just know every theme songs already?

[lane0065]

its eerie how much they look alike.

phil is brilliant. just like his bro.

[Leksingen]

What gtr is that :D An electric neck and acoustic body?? Cool man!

[emcaf]

Nah it's a fender concord, about 25 years old.

[Leksingen]

Tnx man! So cool gtr!

[kikkosand]

oh my good... incredible

[fikealox]

"Slightly different to how I play it, actually Phil" ...lmao. CLASSIC!

[gusstro]

tommy always says that phil taught him how to play and hes way better so it cant be to bad lol

[MichaelG911]

You've gotta feel sorry for the guy! Could you imagine being compared to Tommy all the time!?

[emcaf]

From what I've seen the only difference is marketability.

[fretsonfire75]

yeah, thats all ive seen.

[NoosesGive]

@emcaf if there was a retweet button i would of retweeted that

[Qpidon]

delicious comment ;)

[jdm123]

the whiz

[bigdood]

That's more like 30 years ago, mate! LOL

"Lost in Space" hasn't had a "new" theme song since the late 60s! :-) WHAT A FREAKIN GEM... I am forwarding the link to TEs Mgr... I'm sure TE would get a kick out of this! :-D

[emcaf]

Oh dear, are we all that old already?

[SweetLittleRnRoller]

@emcaf You're over 30, you're surely VERY old!!
