What a legendary combo!! Tommy doing muted notes for 30 seconds, showing he's all about serving the song and not about "the spotlight". Absolute master!
This is what gets me every time I see Tommy playing with anybody. Truly one of the greats, we can all learn a lot from just that bit!
He perfectly compliments anyone he is playing with
So inspiring!
Tommy, Mike, Rick and John
I count 4 legends
It didn’t work
To think that Tommy Emmanuel is improvising is so mind blowing.
That is the thing which is so remarkable. TE makes such good improv' it sounds like a worthy composition in itself. Apparently he does not take much time at all to come up with his part, while MD already has the song down.
Yeah
@@Divocwaxthe base of the song is more difficult to hold than improvising across the progression. Tommy could play anything within the progression and it will fit, MD played the melody-true licks so it requires memorization.
How amazing is it to see Tommy Emmanuel playing John Mayer's song.
Really amazing.
Totally agree
He's not. He is improvising over his song.
2:27 Tommy thought they were back to the intro part, but saw it was time for a solo and instantly pulled back for Mike to have his spot. That's how everyone should play when they play with others
Nice observation. You’re right 😁
The speed... I mean the time it took it him to realise he was going the wrong way. That's more of a reflex than a decision 😅 man, Tommy is marvelous
But, well, not quite "but" your ability to do that IS exactly what jamming is about! Turning on the proverbial dime is what makes you a great person to jam with!
I saw Tommy jamming with an extraordinary harpist at the HK Foreign Correspondent's Club one night, mostly on her pieces, and he was MAGNIFICENT. So, was she, but by God, if he didn't hang on to the "dragon's tail" and climb up to the neck of the beast that she was, well, you weren't there, but let me assure you Tommy Emmanuel is an absolute mofo. They "topped" each other throughout the entire set. Amazing performance by both! ❤🎉❤
Thanks for sharing Rick. Lots of love everyone. Looking forward to some tours with Tommy in the EU and USA coming up x
This is so very beautiful...💗💗💗
I love you Mike
Wow...you both gel so well together, it blows me away.
What a load of beans
Thank you shaggy
The day I get word that Tommy Emmanuel leaves this world I will cry harder than I have ever cried.
If this is heaven, please do not resuscitate.
Perfection....
I’m amazed how Tommy plays his own brilliant parts while not stepping on the lead melody at all. Awesome.
This is what shows his true mastery. It’s insanity to see
Dawes kind of acknowledges TE magic improv' but it was hard to hear his words.
Tommy is a consummate professional of the highest order.
Actually he’s only stepping all over the song with every annoying note he plays.
@@z-ray-dadbod lol annoying notes hahaha why would you listen if you find TE annoying and don’t appreciate his amazing musicianship
It's such a clear sign of a master when they're playing for what fits the song arrangement and not worrying about being in the spotlight. Tommy is such a gift to the music industry in so many ways, and I will be truly saddened when that man passes.
Agreed. Let's hope it's a long, long time from now. His brother Phil left us far too soon.
heyehey wooooahhhh there. he is still around - go see him live while you can and get inspired
How do they get so good in guitar? I‘m envy
He will never pass. He'd be remembered.Always.
@@drewjamila3868Practice all day every day. It’s simple but very hard.
Ashamed to say that I’ve been a Tommy fan for 8 years and a John fan for longer, and have just now stumbled across this. Truly magical.
This is one of my favorite videos. That look of harmonic enjoyment these gentlemen have is a reflection of when the music just gets your bones. I love it!
The mark of a great musician is not how much he stands out in a song but how he makes that song better.
But did he?
Yes
I have had the ultimate pleasure of working with Tommy many years in Scotland when i was an music Tech student. he's a gem of a man and a phenomenal musician i will always remember after his gig he joined a local bunch of lads playing in the pub and he improved with them as they played "Drive" by Incubus. it was and still remains to be one of the single best musical experiences of my life. He played amazingly and at the same time didn't try to outshine the band or steal the limelight away from the young guys playing. Thankyou Tommy for being you.
I don't know if I'm inspired to practice more, or just sell all my gear... 😂 These two are otherworldly
Practice more, brother..
It’s attainable!
My thoughts EXACTLY. Just when I thought I was getting good...I had to watch this.
@@MOAB-UT there's no limit on progression... you even surpass your own imagination...So practice , practice, practice
Compare yourself to yourself not to others 👍
mom said it's my turn to post this comment next
Tommy is a beautiful musician!
The song has morphed into a flowing river, with the notes ebbing, cascading and peaking, creating a beautiful soundscape
That bit, right at the end when Tommy outs his hand out, as if to capture the soundwaves as they flow away from him...
🧀
I wonder if John has seen this. I truly believe this is the best cover of anything ever. Its really magical. I bet it would even give John the shivers. !
I love how Tommy plays notes that simply accompany the song and aid to it while not trying to steal the show. This was so fucking cool.
that's the opposite of what he does. He's an egotistical showman.
@@Tasmanaut I find it impressive what he can do but I agree for the most part. Never really enjoyed listening to him because of how flashy it is. Usually doesn’t sound that good but is super technical
@@Tasmanaut I'll keep an eye out for your version of this performance to learn.
@@Tasmanaut Try to listen. You don't watch music. And yes, he is in fact a showman. These guys are putting on a free show for us. And you whine about it.
@@tommylitchfield3450 if you shut your eyes and listen, it just sounds like random wa*k. Because it is. It is the reason I'm not impressed with him and never will be.
I have been numb. Now the feelings are flowing. This is the medicine my heart needs
It must be very flattering, even to someone of Mayer's stature, to have these 2 cats playing his song. I hope he sees this video.
Don't count on it. With his massive ego, he has probably already consulted counsel to explore options for litigation. No joke.
@@MOAB-UT You don't know Mayer that well I'd assume
@@GoinMLG I do know enough people like him. I also don't know Mike Tyson either but suffice it to say, I would not want to box him. Your logic makes little sense. I suggest you stick to playing your video games.
Owned
@@MOAB-UT I guess when you're a baby boomer you don't realise that someone in their 20s can change by their 40s. John probably still has an ego as anyone with his status and skill should have however, he has definitely changed to be a more respectful and modest person. And if you disagree with that you simply haven't spent time looking.
I used to go and see Tommy and his brother play in the 80s at the local pubs in Australia. It's been a privilege to enjoy his amazing talent for so long. Now I get to finish my life listening to another brilliant guitarist, Mike Dawes.
I didn't know Tommy, but frankly I'm speechless, he plays with such wisdom and respect. He knows exactly what to do and when. The timing of his phrases is perfect.
You didn't know Tommy Emmanuel. I stop living.
My thoughts
Tommy Emmanuel playing JM song has to be JM’s top 10 best bragging rights of all time. And an absolute pleasure for us fans to see the acoustic guitar grand master playing one of my favorite singer songwriter’s songs of my time 👏
This must be what it is like to have nothing left to prove... relaxed, beautiful, and perfect.
Well said. Earned respect, and just enjoying the craft with no regrets. Love to see this kind of playing.
you know you've written a good song when legends love to play it.
This is true healing! Connecting with yourself, cleaning your consciousness of old patterns, eating well, learning to forgive, to enjoy, play music, laugh… love is the only cure.
The increasing respect given to John Mayer puts a huge smile on my face. Been 💯 fan since day one. Thank you Mike and Tommy! Great jam session!
John's expansive lead work with Dead & Co nigh on five years has truly expanded his blues based sound and gone into that psychedelic realm.
0:10 "oh yeah" idk why but the way he said it sounded hilarious haha
😂😂😂yup
😂😂
Tommy Emmanuel is pure joy at the guitar. So lovely to see and hear--a great duo.
Two masters of their generations - digging on each other’s playing!
Tommy everywhere you go I will follow becouse you are the one who removed my blindness , I have never had such great improvement before I saw you and now I am chasing my dreams fast thank you
Love from Rwanda ( heart of Africa )
The shear beauty and joy of playing a note, and knowing that someone else will be joining you at just the right moment with another note. 👊🏻🔥😎
👊🥳
If you are jamming a key or a scale it's easier than you might think. It's called chord chasing. Verses repeat and you can hear it in your head. They also likely missed several "right moments" but landed on a few that sounded sweet. Not all pieces fit into a specific key either which is why you need to know the chord and melody structure. This one is pretty easy to know where to land. Take a band like Metallica with 140bpm, changing key and time signatures and it gets more challenging- but still fun. Too much info., I know- just sharing. I play guitar (not like this) and like to hear myself talk. 😎
@@MOAB-UT
I believe he was more talking about having such amazing synergy with those you play with. That was how I took it, but I could be wrong.
Something amazing about being so tight and in tune 🤙
@@samblack5313 I agree with you. I was just expanding on that and sharing how anyone can enjoy the same amazing synergy. I use to marvel at it- then I learned to play and still marvel at it.
I recently played with some random guy at my local Guitar Center- he was new to playing and we were trying out some guitars. I had him play a few specific chords in order (the chorus to ALIVE by Pearl Jam.) I then soloed over it in Em. His face lit up like he never heard anything so magical and raw. When it was over, he was smiling ear to hear. He then asked me, "Can we do that again- only this time I want to record it!" Of course, I said YES! Music, being allowed to play and share it is an amazing gift.
Cheers!
@@MOAB-UT
That’s cool as, man. I get it. All I was saying is there’s something even more special about it when it’s someone you’ve played with a lot and can basically read each other’s minds.
Shred on 🤙
YOu could sit and listen to these two for days.
this is the power of mayer songs, literally no one can deny he’s the best musician and finest guitarist of this generation……
3 chords and heaven is here 🎸🤟🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Speechless. The level of communication between them both, you could almost hear everything their eyes, faces & body movement were saying to each other… and never said a word. Wow.
the two guitars compliment each other very well. good arrangement. and very musical... you can tell both have mastered their instruments to the point where they can just feel the song and not worry about hitting certain notes
Goosebumps.
Two legends playing another legends song, posted by legendary-good-song-loving uncle Rick Beato❤️
I’m heart and jaw on the floor humility mastery and respect. Ahhhh there is peace on earth
You know, that you are a Legend, when a Legend plays your music! John Mayer is a King.
Peacefull ! That's pure synergy
What an absolute joy Tommy is..
KING 👑
I've been lucky to have seen Tommy live on two occasions. Each time in a cozy, intimate, folky venue to around 50 people. In the intermission he walked past and out of nowhere cracked a joke to my late father, because he'd spotted how much my Dad was in awe of the show whilst he was playing. Tommy's an extraordinary talent and just a lovely person all around.
That was incredible. Dude pulled a mandolin out of his guitar lol
Yeah.. he actually pulls anything out of this box!
Watch a video of him playing Jolly Swagman...he straight up pulls out bagpipes! Out of his guitar. Crazy lol.
Fucking hell, I'm choking in laughter over here. 😂🥃 Well said!
Magic.
Such great arranging and complementary playing.
the chords he starts playing very silently @ 0:57 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! Oh, and of course Mike is also incredible
Do you have any idea about the chords 😢 I want it
I got excited when I saw this notification because I thought it was a What Makes This Song Great, but this didn't disappoint, absolutely beautiful playing, luscious full arrangement of one of my favourite songs of all time. Bravo!
What makes this song great is Mike Dawes and Tommy Emmanuel lol. Enough said!
This should be Rick Beatos next WMTSG
amazing video, this is music of my life
Hard to discribe to non musician's the sheer bliss of the coversation of music,the flow of two great musicians giving each other space yet
Coheasive enough to have a singular soul to the music , bravo beautiful work
Mike did an absolutely amazing job! Tommy is definitely a legend. It’s amazing how as good as he is, he stayed in the pocket and seemingly didn’t feel the need to try and show off he amazing talent. Dude is a giant, but he played a very supportive role in this one!
Such a beautiful sound made by these great masters of the guitar...! ❤️❤️❤️
John Mayer's beautiful masterpiece played lovely by like kind masters. It's a trinity going on here. I love all the mastery. I loovvveeee John Mayer
Hearing this beautiful duet just made my day. Life is good. Thanks for sharing, Rick.
Now you get out there and PLAY Burke. Hearing is great, playing is on another level.
I love Tommy’s epiphone.great,great music
Older Epiphones were made in Japan or Korea. Today, they are made in China. I've heard that the pre-China models are better, but I'm not positive...I don't own one.
I never thought I would see these two in one performance. Thanks so much for helping this happen Rick. Absolutely warms my heart to see how much magic the acoustic guitar can create - these are two of the greatest of all time - and using a timeless tune like this it gave them all the space they needed to honor the tune and be creative. Isn't Mikes smile at the end just a priceless indication of that musical connection us musicians know so well. Amazing. The best. Thanks again!!!!
then watch john mayer who wrote that song
Rhinostinction, they tour together. Lots of videos of them playing together on YT.
This song was already one of the most beautiful I know from my other favorite, Mayer. This is beyond perfection
Makes you realize what a hell of a musician Mayer is
Tommy Emmanuel is absolutely amazing... Looked like he didnt even know the song at first, just chillin and watching. Coming in to really sound amazing in his own way. Superb.
Probably yeah but Tommy can improvise any song right on the spot without even listening on it.
Oh man, Tommy is just on whole another level, serving the music, letting it pour through him. The musicianship has nothing to do with it, just pure love for the music. Thank you.
facts
Dats da fax Jack!!
Tommy makes the sun shine brighter no matter where you are.
Otherworldly performance! I’m absolutely speechless, the way Tommy accompanied Mike, his solo, everything was just perfect!
The chord Tommy plays at the 1 minute mark. Stunning
The joy in their playing is magical to watch.
We need it on Spotify! Legendary cover 🤩
Outstanding…one of my favourite things is when two or more players simply do their thing sympatica, and these guys do. Gorgeous.
Thank you Rick for this cut. I have played that interview for like 100 times just to hear this duet for the beauty of this tune. Now you finally get it cut to be played for at least another 100 times for me
You hit it out of the park with this and the interview with Tommy, Rick. Thank you! -Gene
sounds are amazing wow
I saw the two of them live in Switzerland a couple of days ago. One of the best and most entertaining shows I've ever been to. And the music was of course breathtaking.
2:07 Except the fact that I love the whole arrangement - that harmony is so awesome!
Every guitarists' dream to master the fretboard like Tommy 🤟
How wonderful a tribute. Im always amazed at Tommy and his choices he makes surprises me, its rare to see both mental and physical acuity at that level, its just a real treat. A+
Daaaaaaaaaamn... This is so beautiful. Wow!!!!!
Father and son, father and son .... absolutely beautifull
There is love in the playing, genuine love for music, and the guitar
Awh man..the tone of those two string boxes together..just.. *chefs kiss*
Wow. Two of my favorite players. Never thought I’d hear Tommy E play John Mayer.
Tommy Emmanuel will always remain way ahead of the world's time!
I cannot stop listening to this! Absolutely beautiful!
Tommy is an absolute master of the craft. Truly one of a kind.
Is there anyone as natural on a guitar as Tommy and makes it look soo easy when it’s soo not
this is so mind blowing. the power of music is just remarkable, let alone played like this
Listening to it for the 100th time feels still the same.
Masterpiece 🙌🏻❤❤
This acoustic guitar is out of this world
Watching and listening to these 2 guys - I spend so much time checking out guitar gear, seeking to satisfy my GAS and I realise time would be much better spent practising. 2 acoustics plugged in, a touch of reverb - and amazing tone coming from their fingers and souls!! Aural bliss
Tommy has to be one of the most expressive guitar players I've ever heard. I was fortunate enough to see him when I was going to school for music. His talent is unmatched and he seems like an amazing person.
I’m sure John would have a blast hearing this. Beautiful acoustic work as usual Mr Emmanuel !
Hearing Tommy Emmanuel play is a heavenly treat...
Rick you sneaky devil hiding this gold from us for so long. Thank you sir
the way tommy play is like a father making sure his son to have a simple step and then run.... it's like "go ahead son, i got you"
Tommy and Mike in guitar heaven, just fantastic haha 😃👏
This playing is SO amazing - - esp to this old boy, playing since 1973.
Temazo de JM. Intérpretes excelentes y respetuosos. Un placer escucharlo!!!!
It gives me goosebumps every time
Mayer’s songwriting skills are criminally underrated
I don't think so I'd say he is not only famous but also recognized as both a great guitarist and songwriter.
@@natalirivero467100%
very overrated
@@AlexandrBorschchevsure, keep smoking what ur smoking. U want to talk about overrated? Shawn mendes, Billy Eilish, Taylor Swift, etc. Mayer is beyond almost every mainstream talent we have today in both his songwriting and musicianship. Mayer is WAYYY Underrated! He revolutionized the music world by his unique blend of genres and his ability to relate to numerous audiences. You really do not realize how lucky you are to have witnessed such an (unrecognized) legend!
@@mram03 lmfao. no need to bring other artists down just to prop someone up. I wouldn't even call myself a fan of these artists, including Mayer and especially not Swift. I just fuck with a few of their songs. But you can't talk down on Swift's songwriting, influence in the (mainstream) music industry and her impact on so many young people
I come back and play this video once a week. Simply amazing.
Holy shit! 😳
Magic, like a mental matrimony🙏
Amazing skill. I remember when I saw Tommy Emmanuel in Dartford, Britain. As the sweet sweet licks and the closed-eyed head shaking went on, the PA speakers began to edge forwards because of the rumbling of the bass. Had to get outta there before it fell and landed on my legs.
wow, wow, wow... and wow w. an oooh (as he hits replay). Thanks for sharing Rick.
