    Thanks Michael and commenters. You are super kind ❤️ If any of you live in the Western USA, Netherlands, Belgium or France, Tommy and I will be touring together in Jan/Feb 2022. Can’t wait to share this live 🥰

    Wow Mike is so good. He has obviously grown up watching Tommy.
    And Tommy, what a great bloke. He obviously has 40 years experience on the young pup but he is happy to take a back seat and let the young pup shine. That is what makes him a legend. Nothing else to prove.

It makes all the blood, sweat and tears worthwhile when you say how cool it looks & sounds 😍. Credit for the video production goes to the multi-talented Mike Dawes. I just focused the camera 🤣

    Mike that is ridiculous! Every time i think i am starting to get somewhat capable on guitar you show something that puts me back in kindergarden. To Mr. Dawes and Emmanuel: How does it feel to wake up every morning knowing you can make that kind of magic on a fretboard? I dont think I would be able to sleep at night for fear I might miss my next incredible performance! Thank you both for putting in the long hours it takes to perform like you do. Such beautiful paintings should be framed and displayed for future generations to wonder at. Thanks again Mike Palmisano for bringing these great performances to us. Peace

      What is amazing is his willingness to do this with so many others!

    Sensational both Mike and Tommy. As a fellow Aussie I've been lucky enough to see Tommy play live and know just how good he is. He was taking a back seat with this performance but I would still class Tommy as one of most freakishly gifted guitarists the world has ever seen.

    Tommy let's Mike shine....I thought so too.
    Tommy is a great guy, I was lucky enough to meet him and get my inlay for "The Journey" signed, he is a lovely person who just gets off completely on bringing joy to others through his performances. I was thinking as Mr Palmisano talking that Tommy was letting Mike have the limelight and just throwing in some tasty accents and then he said as much, well read and nicely said.
    Nicely played too by Mike and Tommy.

    Thanks, Mike, this is absolutely wonderful! Tommy's respectful willingness to give Mike( a truly great guitarist in his own rite) the lead and not attempt to upstage him speaks volumes of Tommy's humility and comfort with his own greatness. Tommy's place on the Mt. Rushmore of guitarists is assured. Perhaps Mike D., too, will find his way there!

    Unreal version of this great tune. Had to play along as much as I could. I noticed that Mike added a couple of violin tuners to that guitar, much like Adrian Legg on his highly customized Ovation Frankenstein guitars. The sound and mixing is as close to perfection as possible.

What a great player!!! he was only in his early 20s then, I think. I have been a devote of Tommy since he's been over here in the states. And "try" to emulate both of their fingerstyle playing. Maybe at half speed.... LOL... Nice video there Mike!! Also liked that live show you did a couple of weeks back. Wish I had your ear.... I barely have my own. LOL!

      That thing sings so beautifully. You truly are an artist. Is the back un-scalloped? It has strong fundamental frequency & balanced on top of a wide range of overtones and overtones of overtones. Reminds me of Golden Era Gibson Just exquisite focus across all registers like the thing is a high end upright piano. I can tell its a labor of love to make something so fine.

    Hi Michael! I've just recently discovered your channel watching you react to Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas (which is one of my favourite guitar pieces ever) and catching up ever since, you have a wonderful way to explain stuff and a sincere passion for the guitar that speaks also to the non guitar players (but enthusiasts) like me. For another reaction, if I may, I'd suggest anything by Estas Tonne. My personal favourite is The song of the Golden Dragon. Unfortunately with him is not easy to find a video where you can always clearly see him play. But he's definitely worth it. Thank you for what you do and keep up the amazing work! (I wrote a lot and I'm not native so I hope I didn't slaughter the english language..lol)

    I think much of what sets these two apart from even other great guitarists is the amount of practice they put in. I know Tommy mentions it in every interview he does. If we were a fly on the wall for a week in one of their houses, we mortals would blow our minds at how much they work on one song, let alone just warming up and practicing different techniques, and then trying to come up with new stuff. Talent, yeah, but these two work their fingers to the nubs. It amazes me how dexterous Tommy's fingers still are after having played for so long in his career.

    Best quality video this commenter has ever seen for reaction purposes. Hardly surprising that someone who has been playing professionally since 6 years old in bands etc., would have any trouble providing really classy accompaniment(if that's what it's correctly called) to another player. This song is by Gauto(Gautier) isn't it? I imagine MD plays this tune as part of his resume, and TE just chimed in easy as. Reminds me of the kind of "elder" thing Carlos S does so well on tracks like Corazon Espinado and ....Guitar Gently Weeps.
