Just to add to my last comment...Tommy is probably the best 'live' guitar performer there is, and I faithfully go to every gig he plays in my country...But I have to say Tommy's energy and enthusiasm for playing our beloved instrument doesn't come across on CD. I would rather 'watch' Tommy's virtuosity in my own clips or in his DVD's.

I have to say that Chet laid the foundations.

But these guys would blow him away.

Nothing wrong in that.

It is just progress....but where will it end?

This must be, near enough, the limit of human ability.

[MattAlexan]

@Gangly1 Perhaps technically....although Chet often made things 'sound' deceptively easy -until you try yourself AND might I add -there are few to match Chet's musicality. I still listen eg. to Chet's 'Hollywood' and 'Workshop' albums recorded 1958 & 1961 (I think) and they still do it for me after all these years!

Both Tommy & Richard have still to record that 'classic' album which players would refer to in years to come.

Chet recorded many 'classics' that will stand the test of time!

This is new to me. Don't often use superlatives but this is one of the best I have seen recently; magnificent chemistry musically. To think that some folk earn £15,000 per week for kicking and hitting balls around level green spaces.............. Wish you all that your talent deserves! Love & Happiness.

@landnstars -I have had this very same opinion for a considerable number of years now but never had the courage to say it!......

boy some of the comments here are idiotic...."who's the best?"......do you think tommy OR richard would want our reaction to this beauty to be "who is best?"....my guess...if if tommy and richard read your comments they would think you were assholes

[perothing]

To me, the bassline from Richard did not sound as natural as that of Tommy's. My 2 cent. But great players and a great session.

This was the first Tommy gig I ever went to. Actually changed my life...

How wonderful to be able to "speak to each other" using music as your language... and, how wonderful to have someone listen close enough to not only hear, but to feel your message and be able to respond so beautifully.... good thing politicians don't use music to speak.... unless of course you like the sound of .... skkkkkkraatching-the -challllllllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk board... NICE WORK guys!!!

Tommy Emmanuel never ceases to amaze me.

He is such a natural on guitar.
