i will forever treasure this video. the best video of sylvain enjoying music with another hero tommy emmanuel. . heaven must be very glad to have you there maestro
More than 13 years later there are only 10 morons downvoting this wonderful show of master skills, musicality and art. If being a human being is about anything, is making and enjoying art. This is pure art, from tha own Stevie Wonder's composition to this awesome rendition. Thanks aakieaak.
I hear the Joe Pass & Django influence, as the notes cascade off this frenchman's guitar. How can France's incredible musical genius be it's best kept secret?
They compliment each other well. Obviously Sylvain is a proper jazz guitarist and has a more advanced understanding of jazz soloing and harmony but that doesn't make him a better guitarist. They both have their strengths.
+James Anderson Sylvain is far beyond any other guitarist, if you consider all the aspects of the playing. He can do anything; play any kind of music. I saw him 30 times on stage; he never played twice the same thing. He is a genius (and I don't use this word easily).
Totally agree. That's why I love the chemistry between Tommy Emmanuel and Martin Taylor : they're no competing but playing together and making beautiful music. Martin Taylor seems to get the best out of Tommy. Their playing together doesn't sound like machine-gun fire, the more notes, the better, which for me is not music, but sports.
You shouldn't compare Sylvain Luc - Bireli Lagrene - Tommy Emmanuel. The former two are expert jazz guitarists, Tommy (by his own admission) is not as expert a jazz guitarist as them. He often likes to play with people that are more expert than him in jazz (e.g. martin taylor). If you've ever seen Tommy Emmanuel live; you know that there is no label attached to what he gives you.
All I can say is, even so-called "great" guitar players should just sit there and listen to Tommy. NOBODY can play with this guy.........they only take away from what he has to offer. Woody Woodpecker playing never did a THING for me. Just give me Tommy playing by himself.
They both play well, just different styles. Sylvain plays more complex jazz phrases and Tommy plays catchy blues and R & B hooks and licks. That being said, I prefer the sound of TE's guitar over SL's tone.
@aakieaak It's Richard Smith. He's a fantastic player. I have some live footage of his Hot Club of Nashville group on my RUclips channel, in case you might be interested.
@emeraldomusik Totally agree, this sequence from Sylvain is just incredible. Such a classy and crazy way of getting out his chorus... This seems quite like superpowers to me too....
While I'm truly not worthy to judge who is the better player; I can definitely say that I like the sound of Tommy s guitar better. I'm sure it is a great guitar, but I just don't care for the tone of that Goodin...
Even if I don't look on godin guitars I feel SYLVAIN ' s tone cuts better in this duet while Tommy's is rather foggy ! Both are wonderful and upper class musicians . I think it's difficult to catch and record acoustic amplified guitars on the spot .
why do so many peope on RUclips constantly watch things they dont like? I thought life was about doing things you like. Apparently its about disliking everything. Depressing...
Un autre signe de son immense talent, c'est que contrairement à beaucoup de très bons guitariste, Sylvian n'est pas obligé de frapper lourdement sur sa guitare sur les 2 et les 4 pour maintenir le rythme en feignant le groove. Il mêle subtilement à son harmonie la syncope. Un grand maître.
sylvain technically good. tommy also plays his bass and melody chet atkins style that sylvain doesnt. I like to listen to both, but when they get into this, sometimes it gets old. I prefer them separate.
Sylvain est top, mais Tommy rend un duet souvent en compitition d'énervement accélérée.
Repose en Paix Sylvain !
i will forever treasure this video. the best video of sylvain enjoying music with another hero tommy emmanuel. . heaven must be very glad to have you there maestro
I gotta practice more.
RIP Sylvain

richard hanging easily here
Allah has blessed them with talent but they should wear the burka to show submission ;)

NICE TROLL

we call this Strange thing "the french paradoxe"

+Pascal Solal Bireli Lagrene is like that though too...
Pascal and birelli
Belle rencontre !!! FABULEUX
Hahaha!! awesome! I didnt know sylvain was that funny!!!
OMG that was just superb !
Two of the best Guitarists of our Time
tommy can play every kind of music that's why he is best

Yeah You're right. But Sylvain is the GOAT yet :D
The jazz police have spoken. Thou shalt not have fun. Modern jazz is so up itself, like modern classical.
Both are awesome but Sylvain Luc to me is more musical and more tasty even if he is forced to overplayed because of the "battle" thing
the range of emotions, the ideas, the feeling... incredible. i'm talking about sylvain luc ;)
Its Isn't she lovely by Stevie Wonder...
What's the name of this theme?
You are kidding... Right? I guess you now for now☺️ Just in case... "Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder
musical orgasm!
wow richard smith can jump !
snobby french man sylvain luc
Breathtaking
Music is fun... The night was great an funny... They just have a good time..

Untill 0:23 there was at same earthquakes?
Hey guys : Starting at 1.40s the way Sylvain plays the chords is just a pure inspiration... no need to mention the solo that follows...
