From left: Richard Smith, Michael Fix, Stuie French, Tommy Emmanuel

This is the whole video that I recorded during the one hour guitar jam session. This experience was priceless. These four fabulous players were just having fun in front of us. We thought it was better than a concert. Hope you enjoy.

You can bet these guys never let a day go by without picking up their guitar.

Michael Fix is widely acclaimed as one of the world's finest acoustic guitarists. He has won three Golden Guitars and numerous other awards in Australia, and tours widely throughout the world, particularly Asia, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, and elsewhere in Europe.

Australian born Golden Guitar award winner Stuart 'Stuie' French is a master of the country/jazz guitar-style (Les Paul invited him up to play when he was in New York!) and many of his guitar heroes are the great Americans: Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Roy Nichols and Danny Gatton.

William Thomas Emmanuel AM is an Australian guitarist, songwriter and singer who is known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances and the use of percussive effects on the guitar.

Richard Smith is an English guitarist specialising in the fingerstyle guitar tradition of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Reed. He is the 2001 National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion.

[lolhardiman]

I was about to head to bed after a tiring day. Now I'm footstomping, whiskey in hand ready for anything. That's the power of music from these amazing guys. What a wonderful moment to have captured for posterity. Pure bliss! ❤

I love how the folks in the background giggle and chat at the beginning, but as the gentlemen continue the jam - everyone shuts up and follows every song.

[JPR]

I love how someone starts playing a tune and everyone follows. Absolute masters.

[mongshich]

I am 34 and this is the best one hour I have ever spent in my whole life wow!

[ericlinant]

I'm always surprise and a little shock to ear people behind who dare talking while these brilliant musiciens are playing the most fabulous jam !

[danielgrant]

Love it how Tommy Emmanuel is organising the solo sections with a little head nod. Fix and French are waiting on the nod from the master to show what they can do! Classic jam and they all wait their turn!

[tyczynski]

The most striking thing to me is how they so obviously enjoy themselves, that's true love for the music right there!

[kenscanlon]

Django, Les Paul and Chet will be smiling warmly! Beautiful to see the enjoyment and respect that these guy’s have for each other, thanks for putting this together!🇦🇺🎶🎵

[mrwakacorp]

Richard is a true master. It's incredible.

[peterjordan]

I've been playing for 64 years, and this is the best jam session, including the younger, less experienced players, I've witnessed in that time. If you don't include the younger players, how are they to learn to be confident and learn to "have a go" and be exposed to really good players, so to improve their abilities.. Great video.

[HWR]

5:38 ~ How they change the roles is just unbelievable. I bet 99% of the listeners (and viewers as well) do not even recognize that both guitarists change between improvisation and accompaniment and back again. So great! Two absolute masters.

[sabrilben]

How can one just join the jam and immediately all blend in together? What a chemistry!

[erivers]

Richard smith = guitar master of the highest caliber.

[leonardocabrera]

is funny how the best perfomances are in this kind of contexts where nobody seems to listen or to enjor, except for the musicians.. thanks for the share akira!!! beautiful moments of pure music and musicians :)

[SlickCat]

The amount of talent in that room is off the charts! 👍

[aikaneu]

One of the finest displays of being on the "same page" I've ever witnessed! What I wouldn't give for a banjo and violin and another hour of jamming!
