Richard Smith World Champion!

[MrGandharva]

Thank you Tommy and Richard for sharing your special gift with the world.

[ayokay]

I would pay BIG money to listen to this duet all day long.

It's great to hear/watch someone rival Tommy Emmanuel on guitar. They're clearly both enjoying the jam together. Phenomenal skill and musicality.

[guitarsword]

Simply unbelievable . Are these the two greatest guitar players in the world . Hard to argue their not.

[Bluesguitarman]

These two guys are my favourit guitar players ever !!!!

[JWPMinnesota]

Could you imagine after all the years of hard work practicing, playing, learning, performing that one day you get a chance to be on stage with Tommy? Actually watching these two is great! Look at Tommy, looking over to Richard when he plays... Even he is enjoying this... Of course Tommy always enjoys every note that comes out of an acoustic guitar. Thank God for that. Who needs drugs when you have this?

As a humble guitarist....this is truly quite scary and amazing. Musicians like Richard, Tommy, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell...will always keep me very humble, striving for the higher "musical" mountains they have all achieved. The five people (so far) who gave this video a thumbs down, are extremely jealous, and/or have no taste in elite guitar players/musicians. Thanks for sharing this stellar video. Very inspiring indeed.

Richard is AMAZING... Wauh... He's the star

[metamurph]

both these guys make it look soo easy, great stuff

[millennium]

Hands down the best cover of this I have ever seen. It has Tommy in it for one thing and this Richard Smith cat kicks ass! Added to favoites for sure!

[ronshaw]

I’m going to see them both together tonight in Kalamazoo - can’t wait!

Jerrys breakdown...Tommy and Richards version. Nicely done.

Like KevinJConroy says - sit and start in amazement at two of the finest in the world sharing what makes them happiest with all of we fans. We must always remember to thank YouTube and the fans who upload these videos as well. Without them the rest of us would not have the opportunity to hear them.

[dreambeliever]

Absolutely fantastic!!!
Tommy is the worlds greatest too and it doesn’t even hurt him to put another on a pedestal

[chadbrazill]

Who are the 3 idiots that gave this a thumbs down. Even if you don't like the type of music you still have to respect the art. unreal

Still the best version out there. Tommy on rhythm and Richard on lead is the best combo to do this tune since Chet and Jerry
