I have been playing the guitar for 26 years as an amateur, but after all these videos at the Chet Atkins convention, Nashville TN, July 2018, I feel like an absolute beginner. As if, I had learned to play yesterday. OK. My guitar-world is actually high-distortion e-guitar and hard rock something like Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Andy Timmons, Sergey Golovin, Andy James, Steve Morse, Steve Vai, and so on. Don’t understand me wrong, they are all great guitarists, but this performance opens a new universe for me. You guys are absolutely awesome. You do not need electric to play, you generate electric. Big flashes in calm atmosphere. I bow with humility and admiration and hope you guys would live at least other 100 years hoping to experience the development of your great music. Greetings from Switzerland. Please come all three together to Switzerland to play here. Thanks RUclips. Translated with help from Google.
Même ressenti, si seulement tous les guitaristes pouvaient prendre ces leçons qui sont en plus des plaisirs intenses (même si on a envie de balancer sa gratte)... De France :o-))
Two guys on top of their game. Anyone can play the notes but they add the colour, light and shade that makes a tune burst into life. This has sure has brightened my morning. Thanks for posting.
I love what Emmanuel does at around 3:21, the beginning of those descending chords. Like a grace note, hints at the chord before giving it full bloom. The phrasing of him in particular on these videos is fantastic.
I've been playing guitar for 4 years now. As I'm watching this I don't know if throw my guitar away or if start practicing like there is no tomorrow. I'm brazilian, thus my style of playing the guitar is very different, samba and choro are really away from blues. Even though my roots or my guidelines are apart from this genre (despite the shared african influences), I can't stop my self but to love north american guitar and the blues and be more in love each day. Loving hugs from Brazil! Keep the guitar culture alive... Nylon or steel strings, we're all on the same team. Sorry for any grammar mistakes as I'm not a native speaker. Stay strong!
I've been playing for going on 20 years, and I can tell you for sure that people who have been playing even longer and are much better than myself have the same reaction when they see Tommy and Richard play haha, they are insanely good. Never give up, I spent over a decade trying to play metal guitar and now I'm learning Tommy songs, poorly but still getting there.
Tem muito guitarrista famoso que pensa que é fera,na frente desses gênios parecem amadores,cada frase,cada arpejo cada nota são incríveis,fora a técnica que é de outro mundo!
Wrong! Your English is good, and don't break your guitar...keep playing, and don't compare yourself to those who are more skilled...just have fun playing. To get better at anything: practice, practice, practice!
No need, practice hard, and you will evolve. Looking back over 15 years ago, I can play stuff I would have never dreamed of. Passion overcomes everything. Keep practicing! Cheers!
I was going to see Tommy for the first time back in September of 2019 in Chicago, but he postponed to April 20, 2020 because of sickness, but now I'm quite sure that will be postponed due to, well, YOU KNOW. So anyway, I'm well aware of Tommy's talents, but this Richard Smith guy is just killer as well!
Tommy was on tour here in Ireland in Jan...I got to see him in Limerick in the University Concert hall... Do go and see him whenever you get a chance...he is truly Amazing.. And he did a meet and greet after the show..
Next event Tommy and team…Dim the lights, get a small disco ball and get put the chairs aside and get the crowd out of the chairs for a boogie seriously yiu can see loads want to express themselves with an air guitar in hand😀❤️
Where's the other guy? 🤔 These three together make some sweet music. Proof you don't need drums, bass, and even a lead vocalist. A result of Years of practice and dedication
When and where was that? I’ve seen him 3 times in 3 different U.S. cities over the years and every time it was packed, even once in the middle of Iowa (Des Moines 2012, easily the best concert I’ve ever been to)
Richard and Tommy would be like Lebrun James and Michael Jordan playing on the same team. Absolutely stunning how good they are. Savants of the highest caliber. I love Tommy's emotion and happiness. Brings joy to my heart. I would love if they came to America 🇺🇸 on tour. Please guys, the USA needs some real music not this BS on pop charts now, total rubbish. They never even look at the fretboard, they aren't human I swear
J StL - Hey - the audience are sitting down, but they are there to see the players. So out of respect to the audience you should stand. Tommy is not blocking other players - there is no one behind him, they are all side by side.
I could listen to Tommy and Rich all day ever day and never get bored. And how privileged are we that they're friends and love playing together?!
One of the best parts of watching Tommy is how much fun he is always having

@@johnnyx9892 Tommy, Rich, and Brent in the same room is like hearing the GODS playing guitar together.
it's ok but you dont have to copy+paste the same note in every video you watch.

De France :o-))
@@ayokay123 Richard needs to lose some weight though. I'm worried he might have health issues and we wont have his brilliant playing.
@@peurehumphrey6568 D'accord, mon vieux, sacre bleu. C'est trop vrai n'est-ce pas?

I hope these people realize how great it is to see these guys TOGETHER! One alone is fantastic, but both of them together is a delight to the ears!
Love watching Tommy and Richard playing like 2 kids off each other. I hope they have many more years
Such an amazing entertainer and all over good man who wants to make people happy through his music.
Do you mean Richard or Tommy?
After listening to this, I'm gonna chop up my guitar for firewood. C'mon how could you not absolutely love these two guys.
dont chop up your guitar use this as inspiration.go practice.......go on
I knew about 10 seconds in that this would be great...I'm seriously blown away...BRAVO, GENTLEMEN!!
I love what Emmanuel does at around 3:21, the beginning of those descending chords. Like a grace note, hints at the chord before giving it full bloom. The phrasing of him in particular on these videos is fantastic.
Four days of this in a row every summer will set you right.
Any time I feel dpressed over this Covid thing, I just watch these amazing guys, and all is right with the world!

dont measure your skill watching these people.
they are alien cyborgs came to earth to humiliate us
Couple of virtuoso guitar players, right there...! Love it...!
Love it when Richard and Tommy get cutting up together! Something beautiful is gonna happen and does, music
So sad that Tommy never seems to enjoy what he's doing... Always a pleasure to watch and listen to.
It's because if he takes the time to record something like this, it takes away from the time he could be as he puts it "practicing like a demon".
could just listen to this all day
Thanks to share theses great, nice moments of guitar by 3 genius guitar players... hope to come one time in a CAAS!!!
The perfect gathering music of any occasion.
Holy moly guacamole. That was awesome. AMAZING!!!
Richard Smith is also a fine connoisseur of fashion.
A really cool tune, played by the coolest!!!
Disfruto mucho verlos y escucharlos maestros ‼️
I wonder how can they make such music... Amazing
Thanx for the music! Makes me smile again!
Finally a real musician! Damn funny Tommy This is unbelievable
You guys are the best!!!
Beautiful, incredibly!!!!
Beautiful. Just beautiful ! 🤩
I love it - amazing👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ах ты боже мой , классные парни, спасибо , приятно послушать! БРАВО!
Absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏👏
Can’t help but smile..
MERCI !! C'est super !
I still remember that place....
awesome music......The real deal
Love Rich's playing but damn he's dressed for after midnight Walmart shopping! Oh well astoundingly good playing though
Yeah, for a world class player, he could do a lot better.
right...maybe he has no mirror at home...
I have never seen Rich dressed any better. Apparently it's not his thing!
Que MARAVILHA!
Tem muito guitarrista famoso que pensa que é fera,na frente desses gênios parecem amadores,cada frase,cada arpejo cada nota são incríveis,fora a técnica que é de outro mundo!
Toddy or Tuak is traditional drink of my Batak tribe at Tapanuli North Sumatera. This song depicts it very good.
Спасибо , ребята ! Спасибо , родненькие! Люблю вас , спасу нет! Это хороший джаз! Это - хорошее настроение.
epitome of guitar freedom
wish i were here
This is so great. Rich is an amazing technical player but it's so nice to see some of Tommy rubbing off on him.
my English is bad. I can not express feelings differently. I'm going to break my guitar
Well said friend🖒😊...but dont do that😉
Don't break it. PLAY IT MORE
Dmitry Lyskov don’t do that! Donate it to these guys!
Wrong! Your English is good, and don't break your guitar...keep playing, and don't compare yourself to those who are more skilled...just have fun playing. To get better at anything: practice, practice, practice!
No need, practice hard, and you will evolve. Looking back over 15 years ago, I can play stuff I would have never dreamed of. Passion overcomes everything. Keep practicing! Cheers!
Таланты. Небольшой камерный концертик -- мировая вещь.
Me podrian decir que tipo de amplificador usan se oye muy padre ? He buscado uno bueno y no lo he hallado.
This is the clip right after the entertainer I believe
Talent....
Excellent!

Un Argentino que adora esta música
Que c est bon ça 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where's the other guy? 🤔
These three together make some sweet music.
Proof you don't need drums, bass, and even a lead vocalist. A result of Years of practice and dedication
I would give 1000 likes if I could.
How about the Red Foley Version with Lyrics!
Is that eric clapton in the second row wearing the red plaid shirt?
No.
What kind of music do you play for yourself????
Twice as nice!
Absolutely amazing seems too low an opinion!
I love you
that tapping technique at 3:09
Guitarrista de heavy metal não conseguiria fazer uma frase dessas,pense num pessoal que só toca subindo e descendo,parece que a guitarra virou escada!
Big audience for Tommy. The show I say him at was 3/4's empty.
When and where was that? I’ve seen him 3 times in 3 different U.S. cities over the years and every time it was packed, even once in the middle of Iowa (Des Moines 2012, easily the best concert I’ve ever been to)
sweet ass post ! "World Class" .........anymore ?
Thanks, yes, there are ten other videos from this set, just go to my channel LMRMAX you can see all of them and much more.
right.....nice
Wo Amasing i like good👍👍👍👍
Damn didn't Tommy was gonna be in this video
Is there a hidden orchestra ?
RECORD AN ALBUM ALREADY
Guitar god
Seven people didn't like this ? What the Hell........
Ron mercer they must just be “haters” in general
Reminds me of chet and les
👍💥

Gods..
Richard Smith is a real hot toddy! A cutie! Marry me, hot Man!
3:07🤣
I watched this video every day and I didnt notice this . Good laugh xD
What are the scratch on such a beautiful guitar?
Who's the guest guitarist?
That is Jim Nichols. This video is one of eleven from this set, Jim joined then on many. They are all posted on my channel, LMRMAX.
Thanks! I figured he was pretty good for some guy who just walked up out of the audience :)
lmrmax Yeah, Jim isn't too shabby himself!
I would be embarrassed to have a guitar in my hand around them .
Thankfully, this did not take place in 2020 because it would not have existed or there would only be several people spaced apart with face diapers on
I love watching older, white people listen to music. It's a lot of eyebrows.
Why is there scratches on his guitar
hebertracicot Tommy uses that area for a sound effect when playing it sounds like brushes on a drum
3 fool's
Anthony Fox: "3 fools" playing the guitar-1 fool writing strange comments on YouTibe.
Great stuff but I wish Tommy would quit grandstanding and sit down rather than block the other players.
J StL - Hey - the audience are sitting down, but they are there to see the players. So out of respect to the audience you should stand. Tommy is not blocking other players - there is no one behind him, they are all side by side.
Haha silly
Who are you Jeff “skunk” Baxter?
Nawww, petal... you sit down.
