chet atkins and tommy emmanuel part 1.mpg

[jgmagoo1]

More talent per square inch on that stage than any place on Earth at that moment in time!

[cobycracker]

chets doesnt seem imprest of tommy's playing

[w9j15g]

Kudos to Tommy! If Chet Atkins gave me the opportunity to play a duet with him, I think I'd be too much in awe to play a note--especially now that that he's dead.

[toneroable]

This videos...shows clearly... Tommy extremly happy..... god bless them , both

[gtarman63]

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!!! I am stunned........

[66guitaROB]

WoW..........stunning !!!

[RaitGain]

real music for all times

[hiphopsucks96]

damn tommy looks like the happiest man in the universe here

[biggerbigd]

@hiphopsucks96 I do think he was about to explode with joy there. Can you imagine? Dreams come true if you do the work. Being the nicest guy on earth helps also. ;)

[hiphopsucks96]

@biggerbigd true, hard work almost always pays out in the end. but considering what he's been through, meeting one of his idols is the least life can do for him!

[guitarreilly]

@hiphopsucks96 whts he been through?

[hiphopsucks96]

@guitarreilly his wife leaving him, he hardly gets to see his children...quite a bit.

[guitarreilly]

@hiphopsucks96 hes married to that guitar surely.no to be honest he says he does over 300 concerts a year what would be the point unless she was a musician touring along with him

[hiphopsucks96]

@guitarreilly the problem was that they married too quickly and consequently they found out they weren't good for each other the hard way. so they got divorced and she took the kids. he only tours that much because he only has to worry about himself. I'm sure he wouldn't if he had his family. family first, job second. that's what a good functioning human being would think, not about pleasing his fans.

[joemoe36]

no question, THE BEST two pickers IN THE WORLD!

THANKS FOR YOUR MANY YEARS YOU THRILLED US WITH YOUR GUITAR PLAYING, CHET..RIP

[guitarreilly]

chets just an amazing man hes clearly in bad health but hes still got the humour tommy is great as well but chet cant be replaced there will never be another like him

[linzy543]

tommys solo in this is ultimate.

[allgoo19]

I didn't know they had jam together.

This is priceless.

[MrJbaker7]

Chet is composed and Tommy is always hyper and makes me dizzy watching him move so much. But, those guys can play...Chet is pure polish and beauty...Jack Baker NYC

[pburgguy51]

@Analist They produced an album together many years ago called "The Day Finger Pickers Took Over The World"

[MadnessOfMarmots]

what guitar does Chet have?

[icefirefet]

wouldn't it be great if u get to play with the person who inspired u the most.

[bentile1]

It's hard to see Chet looking so poorly, and obviously feeling poorly. Love that Guy!

That Album is fantastic--a lot of fun! If you don't own it, buy it.

[bentile1]

It's hard to see Chet looking so poorly, and obviously feeling poorly. Love that Guy!

[JuegaBonito09]

Ghet looks like he's sitting there thinking "Who the hell woke me up from my nap to play this song? obviously I could have done it while I was still asleep..."

[jasdaman2]

:] tommy looks so happy here

[dreembeeken1]

I did not have my glasses on when I viewed this, but I swear that George Bush AND Michael J Fox are pretty good guitar players! (dreembeeken) lol

[profards]

not only i stand but my hairs too

[profards]

i'm very hapy for you tommy. i wish i too meet even one of my idols. you're very hapy i knew it

[kevinikolass]

haha there's waaltzing matilda song in the middle

[deery95]

looks fun !

[YouknoWhoTube]

fake! ...wait, uh it's tommy.

[stringbender57]

Two of the BEST!

[curzon79]

The thing I find so special about this is Tommy wrote fan letters to Chet and Chet replied. Then they play together on stag truly a special moment

[pcs56]

Wow! Chills. Chet was such a great guy as well as picker. I am ashamed to say I had never heard of Tommy Emmanuel until tonight. Ain't life grand when you can still find gems like this?!! Thanks for posting!

[vjohn82]

@pcs56 The two things that set Tommy apart from other guitarists are his hard work and impeccable timing... simple peerless in those departments...

[Rory99M]

he made it to the millionium, what a hero!

[SBOReeves]

2:13 - Chet's thinking "You youngsters and your showing off!" I love the raised eyebrow.

Great video - thanks so much for sharing.

[spineclinic]

thanks for uploading , thanks thanks thanks :)

[CurtisUaU]

@Analist

they recorded an album called 'the day fingerpickers took over the world'

[acoustictunes69]

What a dream.

[garfinorbit]

this. is. unbelievable

[busessuck1]

these guys are great because they're skilled but also because they do their own thing -it's genuine

[closetome]

LENNY BREAU

[bottomfeeder73]

I would've gave my girlfriends' left nut to see this live!!

[chester777ful]

The master and his pupil only joking they are both brilliant

[robbiemikeyd]

tommy is such big kid lol

[badfinger848]

Atkins and Emmanuel's THE DAY FINGER PICKERS TOOK OVER THE WORLD is one of the best collaborative albums I've ever heard...of course, with Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel, how could it NOT be anything other than great?

[jackofeet1000]

this has been the best day ever, have been browsing through old tommy and chet footage and having the best time ever!! truly thankyou for this and also thanks youtube giving u the chance to share it with all of us

[Eefiebaby]

Tommy Emmanuel is my idol, but isn't it funny that Mister T has an idol too !!!

He is sitting next to him, wow.......how fantastic is that.

[Eefiebaby]

Tommy is my "idol" , nice to see that Mister T himself has "also an Idol" !!!

[Ovidalipo]

So... these both guitar players are one of the best in the World. They are realy genius ! Best wishes you from Lithuania. On other hand is a pity that Chet Atkins is gone away already...

[forthebirds4]

Just look how jubilant and happy Tommy is. This is what we should all strive for. Not a hint of pretension or ego, just joy and respect of the moment. This is why he captivates me, even more so than his guitar playing, he's a good soul. You don't see to many reach his age and keep that spirit.

[illuminoacey]

The passing of the torch maybe????

[1954tele]

My father introduced me to Chet's music early in my life. He was a jazz guitarist and began playing at age 4. He left me long ago but instilled in me the importance of respecting one's elders. I pay homage to Chet's work ethic . Very few are aware that Chet battled cancer for the last 25 years of his life. Don't know of a single instance of him cancelling an appearance. Also notable is Chet's efforts to introduce Tommy Emmanuel to his fans. We honor Chet and those he honored.

[badfinger848]

@1954tele Chet Atkins seemed to try and help "unknown" talents get recognition quite often...Jerry Reed, Suzy Bogguss and, of course, Tommy Emmanuel. Now, thanks to YouTube, we can see Chet Atkins and all the other great musical artists whenever we want!

[blubblubblub345]

Bravo bravo bravo!!!

[gatoradeee]

haha look at tommy during the interview, he's so in awe of chet.

[MrBruceBarham]

ha, and i think ive done good to learn Bb.....wonder if I will ever learn to play some tunes like this with anyone....wow

[chet040]

thanks glade you all injoy it

[ovenrecordings]

@chet040

You can't spell lol

[dingoswamphead]

Was just thinking how generous Chet was in doing this to introduce Tommy to an American audience and give him his blessing. He was obviously not feeling at all well, but played and joked like not just a professional, but a warm human being. No wonder Tommy loves him so much.

[1125112511251125]

@dingoswamphead took the words right outta my mouth

[Riga12341]

2:00 to 2:20 Best solo ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[del2reb]

chet is my idol while i admire guitar players like tommy, what a pity this video is not available here in the philippines but as soon as i got back in europe i'll be trying my best to watch this!!!!

[August1977]

Tommy can draw circles around Chat but still puts him in the limelight, what a truely great person he is.

[KingKoboldMcMarco]

R.I.P. Chet Atkins

those two guys are defently two of the best guitarist ever!!!

[fullmetalcandy]

how does this not have 10000000 views, and fucking lady gafaggot has like over 25 mil

[gabvendramini]

@fullmetalcandy Because we do have a brain. Lady Gaga fans have poker faces.

[joueajoue]

Lol at 2.14 chet raises his eyebrows as tommy does a fast lick! :)

[TheDragonfly45]

Super ! Are there more videos of Chet and Tommy?

[martinaxman]

Great big smile on my face! Thanks for putting up this gem!

[bojangles285]

Two of my favorite pickers, It doesnt get much better than this.

[ib422000]

Great! But Chet looks stuffy, while Tony is just bubbling with joy and elan vital'!

[TheReilly8]

this vid is so sweet

[tjthegreat7]

omg two generations of AWESOMENESS!!!

[ravello99]

@Analist I believe that's Gary Chapman (Amy Grant's ex-hubby)

[blubblubblub345]

More .....please

[Bigpineapple]

it's so funny how Tommy's just beaming with happiness when playing with him.

[j4m35k4n9]

@Bigpineapple Tommy is always beaming with happiness when he's playing =D

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

i watch this whenever i need inspiration

[krypto87]

Loved the little eyebrow raise from Chet at 2 mins 15.

[montezumasrevenge]

Tommy just loves to play

[johndeaconisahero]

That's the first time I see my guitar masters pick a song together, thats a lot for uploading !!!

[boguitar87]

When was this???

[boguitar87]

sorry i didn't see the 97 ;-)

[punishr36]

Great video,, thanks for uploading it...great.

[Grockle1345]

Classic...

We miss you Chet.

and Tommy...

You beauty

[yankeeG]

This is golden! Pretty cool session here. You all should go to the CAAS 2010 convention in Nashville. You can see TE up close and candidly. Best $100 you'll ever spend.

[Sirclydecrashcup]

This is a real treasure! The two best pickers ever together. I had no idea that this even existed. Thanks a million for uploading it.

[klavier1us]

Super Post- The Day Fingerpickers Took over the studio! What an unusual medley "Jingle Bells" with "Waltzing Matilda", great stuff. Wish there was more!

[zacharron]

Man, this is just great. I didn't know there was any footage of Tommy and Chet playing together. Thanks for posting!
