You know, I have never given that any thought. When you asked this question I googled a bunch of Brian Setzer's pictures. I can see where you could find a resemblance. But there is only about 4 yrs difference in the two, so be careful in your wording. Tommy is sensitive.. lol..

I Believe you mean "Tommy Emmanuel & Thom Bresh". Nobody beats Tommy at guitar.

[BreshDigitalTV]

No, I meant Thom Bresh and Tommy Emmanuel. This is a "Bresh" site and "B" comes before "E".

This is not a pissing contest, it is two friends playing their guitars.. Get a life..

What is that dual-sided guitar Thom is playing?!?!

[BreshDigitalTV]

The two sided guitar is called the "Super Dualette" made by Del Langejans of Holland, MI. Steel string on one side and baritone guitar on the other. Both sides can hit all of the Roland synth gear.

Tommy's break between 0:44 and the 1 minute mark is just insane!!!!

Holy keeeeee-riiiyyyst!

@iommi13 Tommy is way better. Have a listen to "the hunt"

[iommi13]

@bigdjindustriez Tommy is great but not the best. Thom is a more steady player and Tommy tends to rush. And if you talk speed Buster B would kill him. Tommy is a wonderful talent and great musician, but Its not competition and there is no winner.

If I could choose a couple guys to hang out with, drink a cool one, and swap some stories, Mssrs. Bresh & Emmanuel are my pick. There may be better players somewhere in the world (doubtful) but these guys are full of character, enthusiasm, and fun, big personality, and regular ol' down-home charm. Gods gifts to the guitar and the world.

Tommy's been this good since he was very young-I saw him do this same piece 40 years ago on tv-he was about 16 years old-it sounded this good then.

@marv20048 LoL as if Tommy needed time to put his hand anywhere around the guitar ...

;-P

[yeild101]

[gongshowsteve]

And at the end about 1:58 the camera changes exactly when they shake hands.

Before the camera change Tommy has his left hand on the body of the guitar and after the change his left hand grabs the neck. Without any time is elapsed!

Is there something wrong?

And there is an other thing I sad in my comment before.

[marv20048]

Is there anything wrong with the camera?

It looks like that Tommy put his Guitar on the  other leg, everytime the Camera changes.?!
