I've never seen Tommy Emmanuel do "so little". Mike Dawes already covers so much of this song on his own that there is hardly any room for another guitar. Yet, Tommy finds his way to add even more layers to it. He doesn't draw too much attention, he rather elevates what Mike does even further. Brilliant collaboration, two masters at work in perfect harmony. Love it!

We need a whole album as a collab between you 2 master guitarists. This is outstanding!!

Not only is Tommy a magnificent musician, but an all round nice person. I met him at a TV studio in Central Australia in 1998 when I worked there for a live cross to some show and he was the most quiet and unassuming person I have ever met and always very gracious in his manner.

2:52 That was amazing as hell.

Here you have it ladies and gentlemen........perfection. Bloody brilliant 👏

I can't think of a better instrumental duet: Dawes sounds like a six piece band by himself with an out of this world technique, which lays down a rich groove that has Emmanuel on a high before he plays a single riff. But the best thing, is that all of it ALL OF IT is in service of the music, the co-creation, and none of it is ego-driven showy stuff. Lots of people like the circus, but this is what it would sound like if Michelangelo and Einstein were musicians and got down to it. WOW!

I love this so much! 💯💯

It is honestly hard to comprehend how anyone can be so talented, and also have the collective minds to put it all together, clearly done in separate recording studios. I am totally speechless, there's no compliment that expresses how much I love this.

If I had to live through this crappy day only to see this at the end.... It was all worth it. Thank you Mike, thank you Tommy, that was amazing!

This is a masterpiece

So legendary even the comments section is full of great guitarists.

Mike presents a pristine version of the song that is almost complete in itself, simultaneously doing the bass, drums guitar comping, melody line. Tommy dances beautifully in the little space left on the music platform with such splendour, harmonising, sneakily filling in whatever little musical spaces left for him and oh my, the choice of notes and the variety of tones Tommy can coax out of his guitar!

Just ridiculous. Makes it hard to pick up a guitar after listening to this. Incredible! Tommy is so cool, and Dawes hands 🙌 look like they were designed to play guitar.

A new guitarist for me to follow for my own guitar wanderings. Merry Christmas!

How could you take a song that was so good.. and make it even better?? Wow the addition of Emmanuel COMPLETES this song. Maybe you can add vocals one day as well :) Incredible job!

I've had the privilege of see both these phenomenal guitarists in Philly...Awesome picking!

What a joyful surprise this was! To see one master play with another master, honestly left me with goosebumps. Especially the way Tommy complemented the tones Mike was producing, in the beginning and when and when Tommy played the solo and Mike added the emphasis. You guys rock, and really enjoyed two of the most inspirational guitarist have a blast!!!

No words for a fine-tuned acoustic guitar because it is a language of its own.

Now if there was only someone singing along with you guys that would be fantastic!

Love Tommy's licks, really remind me of Sultans of Swing, Great stuff guys!

Woow... Let me thank You both for this massive amount joy you are bringing night in night out to basically everyone who hears this and isn't deaf... Not many people actually realize what a blessing it is to get the chance listen to such a performance, and only few people globally can provide such a thing. I dont know how to put it in a sentence, excuse my english, I'll translate from my language couple of things I have to say, since I cant remerber when was the last time I was so moved by some piece of music: 1. The sound coming out of your instruments is so perfectly set and ballanced, minimalistic and powerful at the same time... so colorful and so beautiful. If I hadn't heard Tommy live many times, I'd be sure it was heavily mixed and filtered. But guess what, I know You would play this in the middle of the night and it would be. And Mike, you are couple of years younger than me, but sometimes it seems like you are some kind of highlander/performer/artist on tour that is lasting for centuries. I wanna live to hear your live performance when You'll be 60 years old, with double the experience compared to now? 2. Arrangement - I've been playing for almost 30 years now and I am 100% incompetent to say one single word except WOOW again 3. The flow - most people dont realize that timing the dynamics from harsh to almost silent is probably one of the hardest "intangibles" on the guitar, since it cannot be teachable... simply takes decades.... 4. Skill set - Is anyone familiar with that feeling of giving up and burning all of my guitars ASAP, but at the same time feeling motivated and hungry for the strings. Eventhough 99,99% of us mortals will never reach any level close to this, please do take credits for one more thing: You ve made so many guitarists work harder and become better players... and that is huge, and please keep that in mind Sorry for long spammer post, but I had to write this... P.S: Thank You for the music

two amazing musicians in this fragile world.....thanks for all!!!!

I'm not really even a guitar guy per-se but hell man, you are amazing to listen to, epic finger technique with those spidery hands!

Masterful - not just the playing but the whole video and audio production. What a combo, and Tommy's expressions are priceless! Totally enjoyed it. Who ARE those people who gave this a thumbs down?

Goosebumps, glorious rendition.

I always go to Tommy's page(s) when I'm writing - for inspiration. Really like the pairing of guitars here - Mike Dawes - more please!

this should have way more views

Awesome performance!🎶

Loved how Tommy enjoys little nuances in music.... He hears more than what our ears can hear 🤘🤘

Buttery smooth!

Mike Dawes has the most amazing fingers I’ve seen on a guitarist. Dexterity personified.

Mike’s playing here feels like a technical extension of Michael Hedges, almost like a more cerebral and complex version of Hedge’s style. Tommy looks on another level of visceral connection with the instrument that may not be as nuanced, but seems more powerful and expressive.

Goosebumps all over. That was amazing.

My ears are quite satisfied.

Four of the most incredible hands ever to grace a fretboard! Seen them both live, their dedication to their craft is unimpeachable, true artists!

Beautiful passing of the torch. Two great guitarists! Well done.

Amazing what each of both gitar player can show ... but look ... what they can do together ... insanely great!

I literally fall into a self comforting warmth of a trance when I listen to your music! Can't stop listening whatsoever!! Amazed!!!
