When your on a stage playing guitar with Tommy Emmanuel you know you have arrived at your destination.

While I was watching this my guitars called an Uber and quietly let themselves out.

[MrHillbilly]

Tommy Emmanuell is one of the greatest pickers of ALL time and the fact that he invites Billy Strings to play the solos on this songs says VOLUMES about Billy Strings. He is fantastic.

How many times do you find yourself actually smiling to yourself throughout this video

[dreambeliever]

They got me making the FACIAL EXPRESSIONS with them. 😂😂😂

[RickMcCargar]

Billy Strings is the most interesting guitarist to emerge in quite a while. He has a way of surprising you with timing changes and unorthodox progressions that are as good as his speed technique. Whereas most speedy players become boring quickly, Billy keeps changing it up, surprise is good. What a career he has ahead of him!

[jamesdoctor]

Damn, not gonna lie, that was some of the best flatpicking I’ve ever seen period

[jaywhite]

The interaction between these two amazing musicians is just phenomenal. It's unreal.

I love how Tommy snuck Smoke On the Water in there

[GforceProdComp]

I love how it's two of the best acoustic guitarists, and they threw Smoke on the Water in there. :D

[staatssekretardingsbums]

Vom zusehen und zuhören bekomme ich Knoten in die Finger

[rockersrockers]

Throwing those rhythm's at each other while the other steps out is something else! That was some grade 'A' playing right thur Y'all!

[AdventureIndiana]

Did anyone else never want this to end?

[vinc.]

I started to laugh, but with no disrespect. I was just overcome by their immense talent. Good gosh !!!

[WAGinWNY]

Wow. Two guys with two acoustic guitars delivered all of that!? They are artists in the truest sense.

[allenkennedy]

Spontaneous combustion. Looks like Tommy let the kid shine. So positive for both artists. The speed isn’t even secondary. The mental capacity to hit different phrasings so dead center shows how each feed off the other. Often it seems people want a flash show, fair enough. But if you want nothing but icing, why order a cake? Love the choice of tunes (thank you again Merle) and the give and take. These guys get into heaven. In fact they are already there.

[kimdossett]

My guitar just tied a g string around it's neck and threw itself out the window.

[damianwalck]

Man, my head just exploded in the last 2 minutes of that jam session. Holy shizz!

[stephenhenion]

"Drink my 🍺🍺🍺 at the "Never been on Welfare".... and I sure can play the GUITAR!!! THIS IS THE BEST 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

[nrich]

The generosity Tommy displays by allowing Billy to shine in the spotlight shows the warmth he has in his heart.
