Amen brother, my father was pretty well known jazz guitar player in the 40’s and 50’s. And over the years I forgot how good music was then . You tube gives me a master class every night in guitar. My son said that he read an article that your 60’s are your most productive years. I told him to give me another 6 months and I am going to give my family a concert . Maybe my 19 year old daughter will admire (and like) me😊
At 83 yrs of age I thought I had seen it all. Started with my dad who loved Django Reinhardt and the Hot club of Quincy. Since then seeing Tommy Emmanuel, Joscho Stephan, Frank Vignola, I am in heaven, and listen to them most nights. I hope these magnificent guitar players realize the joy they are giving to so many people who can watch and listen to them on you tube. You have brought so much joy to me. Thank you all again
There ought to be a federal law prohibiting this it's just so unfair. I've seen Tommy and Frank together twice and my jaw is permanently damaged from hitting the floor. And it's not just speed for the sake of speed, it's so totally musical.
What I don't quite get is that I have been following great guitarists all my when I'm 64 life, and have only just discovered this bloke...he is literally the best guitarist in the world, as well as having such personality, joy and star quality..lets get him on the pyramid at Glasto without delay!!!
Vinnie locks that groove down. I could watch these three forever. Vinnie is also a great guitarist in his own right. I watched him cut everyone's head once, Frank included.
Instead of giving up, use it as inspiration. I got to see TE perform on Thursday night, then last night got to do a workshop with Frank and Vinny at Boulevard music. A couple of hours later they gave an awesome concert. I am a very intermediate level and am doing the exercises Frank recommended. Never give up the guitar!!!! We need a world filled with music. :-)
... grosse technique pour une musique légère,... légère,... légère ... de vrais pros qui respectent un public exigeant en livrant avec le sourire un travail impeccable et hautement artistique ... la "classe"!
makes the rest of us want to disassemble our guitars and build them into bird houses. I was blessed to sit on the front row and meet Tommy before hand , by far, the best Christmas present ever!!
Is Django smiling or what? Vinny so awesome and understated but his solid rhythm keeps it all together! T & f ; great seeing them "dueling" and having fun!!!!!!
I love it when you get three fantastic guitar players together, and when they play it's just perfect harmony. They bounce off each other so well and have so much fun
What there is no need for are your crude, demeaning comments. They're having fun while playing. They're relaxed. They are concentrating. Is that wrong? Is it against the rules to look at each other?
I would have enjoyed it more if they closed their eyes and listened to the music like Tommy does when he plays solo. There is no need need for these unsavoury glances at each other, it is very disconcerting.
heelfan1234 It seems a pity that you felt the need to come here with your repressed homosexual desires, to make a comment on something you know very little about. This video is about the beauty and symmetry of music mixed with the amazing talents of three virtuosos. If you attend an orchestrated concert, do you also sit there studying the faces of the players looking for some man you would like to have sex with? Along with your mouth, you should also keep your hands off your crotch, shut your eyes and enjoy the music & revel only in the fact that you are lucky to be alive to hear such virtuosity.
heelfan1234 You have obviously never played guitar with anyone else. Do you look at people when you talk to them, or do you just close your eyes the whole time? Communication is a good thing when playing with others.
I saw Tommy supported by The Frank Vignola Trio at the De Montfort Hall, Leicester (UK) some years ago and after his set Tommy ,Frank and Vinny finished the evening off with a Django-style set which really brought the house down-this is bringing back great memories!!
I never tire of watching these guys. They are masters at their craft who have put in hours of practice (for Tommy and Frank add up those hours in decades!!!) and when onstage make it all look so easy. AND they have fun while doing it. They are all wonderful men who enjoy what they do and want to share their joy with the world and bring a smile to a face. Thanks for posting this!!!
Frank is on your right, Vinny on the left. The goofey , fun loving dork in the middle is Tommy Emanuel. He is from Australia or Austria or somewhere. I forget. (love ya Tommy)
Brilliant as usual and the two others guitarist were brilliant also. He is an inspiration to all musicians even a hacked out piano player like me LOL Always love Django and Stephan's music - Hot Club Quintet du France. Loved those harmonies in the second song.

Some of the best music ever written. I love this stuff. Sometimes makes me wonder if I am from a past life? This music just makes me feel good!
Itzik Janowitz 😚😚
I am 70 and grew up in France. Django & Hot Club music was always present in our house.
Nothing but respect my friend.
Great reply. I’m with you all the way. It’s joyous music …

Screw all the rock guitar gods. These guys are waaaaaaaaay ahead of all of them.

For those who don't know Vinny also riffs like a champion.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN! Stunning.
Vinnie is a fookin human metronome
underrated comment
Solid as a rock!
....yess.... :-)
the guitarist on the right makes absolutely no mistakes, everything he plays sounds sooo clear
Things are always fun when Tommy is around
Yeah... God bless him!
God I'm so glad I found this again. I still have no idea what I just watched, is there literally anything on a guitar these 3 couldn't do
to be able to play music, to be able to play with music...to be able to play music with friends...to be able to play with music with friends...
I played professionally for 20 years and Tommy kicks my ass
Vinnie locks that groove down. I could watch these three forever. Vinnie is also a great guitarist in his own right. I watched him cut everyone's head once, Frank included.
Listening to these guys is pure ear-candy....Tommy is just unbelievable.....
Caught Frank and Vinnie this evening in Chicago. Caught Tommy last year. Thanks for the CD, Frank! Greatest players, and great guys.
Tommy has brought back Frank and Vinny for the Palace of Fine Arts in a few weeks in San Francisco. We all enjoyed them so much last year!

Tommy, I can not express how much I, as a fellow player, appreciate the talent. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Это просто супер желаю вам ребята долгих лет чтобы радовали нас.
Watching Tommy play amazes me. He mostly - always plays a Maton without a cutaway . How is that possible.
Tommy Emmanuel is the King of guitars! (The best to you all from Norway!)
So glad that Tommy loves "Swing 42" so much - every time it gets more exciting!
makes the rest of us want to disassemble our guitars and build them into bird houses. I was blessed to sit on the front row and meet Tommy before hand , by far, the best Christmas present ever!!
Who else wanted it to go on forever ?😃
This is one of those, once in a lifetime combinations of talent ,that was meant to happen;and I'm grateful for it.
Is Django smiling or what? Vinny so awesome and understated but his solid rhythm keeps it all together! T & f ; great seeing them "dueling" and having fun!!!!!!
My husband and my son saw Tommy tonight in a show in PA. They both were amazed.
ah dude, datz was awesome. this new generation needs to see a real show like this.
so much happiness
Agreed. Why do the "Pop" and "Rock" stars get so caught up in ego?
Frank Vignola and Howard Alden are the some of the the last keepers of the flame

Only because you make it that way. I'm not looking for it, so I didn't see it.

Шедевральная тройка,каждый из которых профессионал с большой буквы! Я счастлив что могу слышать и видеть это волшебство!Артистизм высшей степени!
The harmonies are so tight that it almost sounds like an effect. Bravo
Masters of the genre. I'm sure D'jango was smiling that night.
It's nice to see Viny SOLO!!!!
the hot club of django's legacy is in good hands with the salute of these guys.
I saw Tommy supported by The Frank Vignola Trio at the De Montfort Hall, Leicester (UK) some years ago and after his set Tommy ,Frank and Vinny finished the evening off with a Django-style set which really brought the house down-this is bringing back great memories!!
I think I'll give up the guitar and take up knitting! Fantastic trio!!!
These two played with Tommy the past two years in SF, they are great.
incredible musicianship, very tasteful playing
it just cant get better than this can it??????? bloody awesome
vinnie is a legendary rhythm player, and no doubt much much more
this is what i love about gypsy jazz its so unpretencious whereas alot of the other kinds of jazz are so up themselves
2024 8.25.🎉Still great🎉
I'm speechless..My GOD!! What an amazing musicians!
This is just extraordinary in every respect. Happy to have magic like this recorded and shared with the world.
Its almost too much to handle! How much better can it get
way to much talent at the same place!

There is nothing that is done or not done on a guitar that Tommy can’t do.
This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in a long while. They are the best. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️🥰😍Chris.
tommy, your a bloody legend mate.
i must have watched this 100 times - so good
I never tire of watching these guys. They are masters at their craft who have put in hours of practice (for Tommy and Frank add up those hours in decades!!!) and when onstage make it all look so easy. AND they have fun while doing it. They are all wonderful men who enjoy what they do and want to share their joy with the world and bring a smile to a face. Thanks for posting this!!!
Implicit shared beat. Wonderful.
WOW! My ears can barely keep up! My fingers NEVER would.
Frank is on your right, Vinny on the left. The goofey , fun loving dork in the middle is Tommy Emanuel. He is from Australia or Austria or somewhere. I forget. (love ya Tommy)
So much fun they appear to be enjoying themselves just as it should be.
they look like they are having so much fun
They look like they've been practicing for thousands of years :D
So much fun to watch these masters...you forget how much work it is...
I'm guitar heaven tonight it's like all my birthdays have come at once . Great post many thanks
The first song is Hungarian Dance No.5 by Johannes Brahms. The second song is Swing 39 Swing 42 by Django Reinhardt.
i swear i thought the guitars would suddenly burst into flames!
Ngareunaheun pisan duh
Kereen
There's more great music in the first 30 seconds of this video than most guitarplayers can make in a week.
Gods of jazz ... beautiful that Hungy... what a fun ... Thank you
Tommy the Maestro guitarist!
Very few guitarists can play in so many styles. A genius and always looks as he's thoroughly enjoying himself. A joy.
3 GREAT GUITARISTS
Just so damn much musical awesomeness in one video
These guys are from another planet!!! How do they do it?
FUCKING WOW !
I’m a huge Django fan. This is gypsy jazz at it finest.
We simply love Tommy in all sizes, shapes & forms - amazing musician with amazing friends ! Go Tommy !
Chet . LesAnd Django are gone.but Tommy and Vinnyare keeping their influence alive.
This tune is now stuck in my head, I love the dance at the end.
Famosissimo chitarrista il migliore
I imagine myself chilling I a Spanish bar somewhere, with a glass of 🍺 with these guys playing, delightful.
It probably can't get any better
insane dexterity and accuracy! Such precise shredding and sounding clean on an acoustic is not an easy feat.
en plus de la compétence ,la bonne humeur! bon vent les guitaristes!!
Great music...
Absolutely enchanting. No other words.
It’s absolutely fantastic playing! Thanks!
Can only state that I cannot describe.
Que fenómenos! muchas gracias por vuestra música desde
